Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 : Giant Princess Pressila

Lucifer who slept on the roof awoke to the sound of drums. He slept on the roof and from there he could see the courtyard near the castle. Pressila was dancing around to the music of the. Fenrir, Eve and Lelania clapped as they watched her dance around. The music suddenly and so did Pressila. Fenrir, Eve and Lelania applauded loudly.

"Thank you, thank you,"Pressila expressed her gratitude as she bowed to them.

"You're as lovely as always Pressila," Lelania said to compliment her.

"And you're still the same Lelania, I was so surprised when my father said you were married."

"Well it's not an official marriage."

"I see and you have two others with you."

"Well it's not uncommon for someone to have more than one wife."

"Well as long as you're happy I'm fine with it."

The two smiled and chuckled happily with each other.

"So how long do you guys know each other?" Eve wondered.

"Well I've know Pressila almost my whole life. When I was a child mother took me here."

"I see, so you two grew up together," Fenrir queried.

"Not really, Pressila is older than me by 454 years."

"What—let's see 8 + 4 carry the 1."

"It means she's 542 years old," Eve said, solving the math problem for Fenrir who tried counting with her finger.

Fenrir fumed. "Shut up, I was getting to the answers! But still you're..."

"332 years older than you?" Eve answered Fenrir's question for her gain.

Fenrir shrugged. "I know I'm not good with math so you don't need to rub it in eve."

The three laughed at Fenrir predicament until then stopped and looked at Lucifer standing behind her.

Fenrir was in bewilderment. "What are you all looking at,.. Hm? Oh Lucifer I didn't sense you there at all..hm? "

All five of them looked at Lucifer as he silently stood there.The wind blew his long bangs from off his face and they kept waiting for him to respond.

"We're leaving," he responded then walked away.

"Husband wait," Lelania called out. "You're not upset with us are you?"

"Why would I be?"

"Hey Lucifer," Pressila called out to him. "Why don't you and I have a little spar?"

"I don't have time for nonsense."

"Come on only for a tiny bit."

A golden ax appears in Pressila's hand. Suddenly Lucifer Dragon Lord's ring started to glow and he was surprised to see that. He looked at his ring and aimed it at the ax, noticing that the fragments were on the ax. There was an orb attached to a red string that was attached to the ax.

"That jewel at the end of the ax, Give it to me," Lucifer ordered.

"Huh?— You mean this, If you want it you have to win it in a fair fight," Pressila said as she winked and smiled like a little girl.

Lucifer accepted her duel and the two stood in the arena alone. Lelania and the others sat on the stands watching.

"Her power is 44,000. What kind of battle ax is that?" Eve wondered.

"That is called War Axe Hercules, named after the Greek hero. The ax is blessed with divine power and was forged for the first King of Giants Goliath. The ax has immense power and grants it's wielder the superior power of earth," Lelania explained

"She's stronger than Lucifer in his current state and by the looks of it, he didn't intend to use his twin pistol." Fenrir stated as she observed the two closer.

Pressila spun around her ax creating a vacuum that pulled the air in.

"I heard you took down my father in a single hit, I thought I was the only one who could do that....now here I come."

Pressila ran toward Lucifer and swung down her ax with all her strength. Lucifer didn't dodge but received the blow of the ax. The ground trembled under Pressila power.

"He took the full front of the attack!"

"Husband!"

Fenrir and Lelania were shocked to see that Lucifer got struck but when the dust cleared away they were even more surprised. Lucifer stopped the ax with his right arm that changed into a Draconic claw.

Even gasped in shock. "Master?!"

"It's okay Eve...Lucifer is in control over the darkness. The guy actually managed to pull it off," Fenrir said as smiled and chortled with excitement.

"I don't understand what you mean?!" Eve asked in bewilderment

"Didn't you know, After the last fight with Arduvan Lucifer has been training every night to control his dark powers and looks like he did," Fenrir explained to the others.

Pressila clenched her ax with both hands and started to push it down on Lucifer. He couldn't hold it up with one hand anymore so he clad his other hand in darkness and made it into a Draconic claw.

"I'm not done yet."

Pressila made the ground beneath Lucifer's feet into a quicksand.

"Is that all you can do?" Lucifer asked. Then suddenly his body split apart into a flock of crows.

"Awk! Awk! Awk!"

The crows flew around Pressila and sliced her body bit by bit with their razor sharp feathers. Pressila used her arms to shield herself from the storm of black crow.

"Earth Spikes!"

Precilla tapped her ax on the ground and over thousands earth needles from below skewered the crows. Suddenly the crows turned into a shadow and everyone swam to the same location, to Lucifer's shadow.

"You were there all this time?" Pressila queried in bewilderment.

Lucifer held out his hand and morphed it into an ax and leaped into the air at the speed of sound. He came down on Pressila and with the same force from his dark ax and Pressila blocked with her ax the impact of both axes colliding caused a powerful shockwave that blew away the entire arena. The king Oden who was inside his studio felt the tremor of the impact.

"What's going on?" He queried.

A guard came in. "Sir, Princess Pressila is currently engaged in a duel with Queen Lelania Husband Lucifer," he explained.

"I see."

Oden got up and looked through his window. He saw the dust rising from the sky where the arena was. "It's been a while since my daughter met an equal. However, I still feel that she's not strong enough." He mumbled.

"I'm sure the princess will be fine, we have faith in her," he guard responded.

"Don't get my wrong, I have full faith in my daughter but she doesn't understand the power of darkness.. I've met black Dragon Indura once, as an inexperienced adult at the fine."

Oden called the past. Everything around him was engulfed in flame and his brother was protecting him. They were standing before a dragon that stood at over 500 ft tall. The dragon covered the sun with its wings and spread its darkness everywhere.

"The power of darkness is endless," Oden mumbled.

Back at the arena, Lelania used her staff to create a magic barrier around Fenrir, Eve and herself. The dust cleared away and there Lucifer was standing over Pressila who was unconscious on the ground.

"This is over," Lucifer declared.
