Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: On The Attack (Part 4)

Lucifer and the others stood before bruce and Spooky who posseswd Eve.

"Lucifer, These guys are strong," Fenrir pointed out.

"So this boy is the one we're after, gotta say he's not what I expected," Bruce said as he examined lucifer from head to toe.

"He was able to overpower the wielder of Excalibur... Don't let you're guards down," Eve reported.

"Get out!" Lucifer said coldly as he opened his right eye and looked directly at Eve.

Spooky, who possesses Eve, didn't understand what Lucifer was saying until he vanished and reappeared behind eve. With a karate chop to the back of the neck he was able to hit Spooky out of Eve's body.

'How did he?'

Spooky floated in the air wondering how Lucifer was able to get her out of Eve's body. He carried Eve in his hand Lucifer carried her back to the others.

"Fenrir, Pressila, Lelania take eve and get out of here," He ordered.

"No way Lucifer, I'm not leaving you to fight alone."

"I agree, Husband let us fight with her."

"You're holding me back," Lucifer said and shocked all three of them.

He snapped his finger and used「Replace to send them far away as he could. The ended up on the other side of the mountain near the monster village now ghost town.

"I'm going back out there," Fenrir said as she walked away but Lelania stopped her.

"We can't, if we go we'll only be a burden to him."

"Tch."

Fenrir was frustrated because she wanted to fight by his side. Soon eve woke up holding her head.

"You're awake," Pressila said.

Eve eyes wide opened and she looked around. "Where's master?" She asked worryingly as she looked around for him.

"He's fighting right now"

"Is something wrong?" Lelania asked concernedly.

"When I was possessed by that woman I could see some of her memories. Someone who is more powerful is after master, they want the power of darkness," Eve explained.

" We have to go back," Fenrir suggested.

"I agree."

In the meantime.

Lucifer stood before his two opponents.

"Taking on the two of us at once, a pretty bold move Kid!"

Bruce charged forward and attack Lucifer with a right jab. Lucifer's curse mark appeared and he cough bruce fist with his bare hand. Bruce was surprised and became more surprised when Lucifer kneed him in the stomach and sent him flying. Lucifer sensed something behind him and turned his head around. Spooky's body started to change from a small girl to a full grown adult with a voluptuous body and her hair became glowing white. Her body was adorned with a black catsuit with the outline of a white skeleton body.

She opened her mother and ghost in robs flew out of her mouth and attacked Lucifer. His pistols appeared in Lucifer's hand and he kept firing at the ghost. He leaped from the spot and up to Spooky then kicked her in the face sending her crashing into the ground like a meteoroid. Bruce came flying through the air with his body engulfed in flame but Lucifer didn't turn around to him.

"Black Lighting," Lucifer uttered

Suddenly a black lightning came down from the sky and struck Bruce. "Gyaaaaaaaaahh," He screamed out in pain as he was being electrocuted and fall to the ground covered in burns.

Spooky released all of her aura that changed into a grim reaper. The reaper was a faceless shadow in a robe holding a large black scythe in its hand.

"「 Spirit Canon 」 "

Spooky shouted these words and the grim reaper gathered energy then fired a white beam from its mouth. The beam slowed Lucifer and travelled 5 kilometres away before exploding with the power of a nuclear bomb. The explosion lights up the night sky even Pressila could see as she and the others run to the location.

Suddenly Fenrir ran into something and was repelled away. "What was that?" She asked in bewilderment.

"It's a barrier, Someone trying to prevent us from intervening," Lelania explained.

Pressila punched the barrier with all her strength but nothing happened. Lelania cast fire magic at the barrier but still nothing happened. Fenrir turned into a large wolf and clawed at the barrier that didn't even budge.

[Damn it]

She gritted her teeth in frustration.

In the mean.

Spooky rushed over to Bruce's side and checked on him. "Are you alright?" She asked concernedly.

Bruce didn't respond to her but instead took out a bottle and drank all the liquid inside. His body regenerated at high speed until he was perfectly normal. Suddenly they sensed something approaching them at high speed. A black ball of energy kept flying straight through the mountain towards them. It was Lucifer flying by turning the darkness on his arms into dragon wings. Spooky backed her grim reaper and sended it after lucifer.

"Don't stand in my way."

Lucifer turned the darkness on his right hand into a scythe and slice the grim reaper to pieces. He keeps the same momentum was he fly in foot first straight into Spooky's chest. He carried her straight into the side of a mountain sinked her body into the rock. Lucifer leaped away and stood there waiting for bruce. Lucifer shirt was torn off, his pants was burned and his was burned off but he didn't mind.

"Take my stronger technique「 Beast Rush 」"

Bruce fired off flames that took the form of a ferocious tiger. Without looking around lucifer casually lifted his hand clad in black flame

"Burn."

With a swing of hand Lucifer not only destroyed the fire tiger but burned up Bruce as well. Suddenly two massive signatures fell from the sky and crashed before Lucifer. It was Misreld and the white knight king. Lucifer remained expressionless as the two looked at him, He then turned his head to look at Bruce and Spooky who had recovered from Lucifer's last attack. Soon Lucifer was surrounded by four enemies.

"It's a please to meet you my boy, I am Misreld the former Archmage of the Kingdom of Falmiere," Misreld introduce himself. "Lucifer, I'm giving you a chance, surrender to me and swear your undying loyalty to me."

"Not happening," Lucifer declined.

"I'm afraid that's not the answer I want to hear."

The gem on misreld staff glowed and a cuboid shaped barrier appeared. Inside that barrier was Rosario and Mero. Lucifer narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two inside the barrier and He could see Mero talking but he couldn't hear a word she was saying.

"What do you want?" Lucifer queried.

Misreld started to smile. "That's what I want to hear, The power of darkness is what I seek, Surrender it to me and I'll let them go."

"Not going to happen," Lucifer refused.

Suddenly the barrier shrank.

"If you don't then I'll crush them to death. You won't want that to happen do you. Surrender the power of darkness," Misreld ordered.

Lucifer was thinking hard on what to do. If he doesn't surrender the power, Mero, his wife will be killed and if he does then there is no guarantee that Misreld will keep his promise. Lucifer was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
