"What?? Did he say Lucifer" Norio exclaimed in shock.
Lucian sent another Nova slash that was bigger than the one before.
"This same thing won't work on us again" Norio replied with a frown as both of them once
again dodged the slash narrowly, but this time there were no fingers sacrificed.
"I don't know how you disabled my spirit ability but the same thing won't work out again"
Orion said in a loud tone as he once again activated his spirit ability.
"Oh, is that so?" Lucian asked with a smirk.
Norio immediately entered another dimension and got ready to attack Lucian but was
shocked to find that Lucian was peering at him calmly.
'No. He can't know where I am. He just looked randomly. He doesn't know
my location' Norio thought in panic, trying to calm himself.
"Well, I just came out and you guys are already boring me. So, I'm gonna make it quick.
Starfall-ring formation" Lucian said in a calm tone.
Unlike Mathew, Lucian was surrounded by 13 dark purple colored orbs which were
enveloped by the dark flames.
"It's the same thing. There's just extra balls and the color is different, so what's the big deal"
Orion said in a mocking tone.
"Kids these days" Lucian shook his head with a sigh.
Before Orion could even react, he was shocked to find a burning sensation in his right arm.
When he looked, there was no arm. Only purple flames burning silently in the stump.
"Arg" Orion shouted in pain. He looked at Lucian with red eyes. Norio, who was in
another dimension, reappeared slowly near Orion, also with a missing arm.
"You devil, what did you just do?" Norio asked, in both fear and anger. There was no trace of
blood anywhere due to the amputated arm. There was not even a trace of the arm.
"I just cut off your arms" Lucian replied, tilting his head.
"But-" before Norio could ask, Lucian replied.
"Oh, my flames won't just inflict damage physically, they also inflict damage to the soul.
Since you shitheads are in essence, a single soul, so whatever is experienced by one is
experienced by another too" Lucian educated them calmly.
"But when you cut my fingers earlier, why were Orion's fingers intact?" Norio asked in
confusion.
"Ahh, why is that one of the two is always missing a brain? When I attacked you earlier, I
didn't even use my flames, I just used raw Nova" Once again, Lucian explained calmly.
"Orion, we are no match for him. Let's just quickly escape" Norio sent a mental voice to
Orion.
"You're right, I find him even scarier than Valerio. Let's just get out" Orion replied.
"Just buy me a few seconds, we need to remove the Gemini-corridor to teleport outside. So I
will undo it" Orion said.
Lucian sent forward another Orb to attack them as Norio slashed it.
"Quick" he shouted in a hurry.
"Gemini-Corridor disband" Orion muttered as the dark subspace covering them slowly
vanished. They teleported back to the outside of Raven's burger.
The twins who were expelled from the corridor a while back noticed a bloody Orion and
Norio with a missing arm, and a purple-haired man in a bloody suit who resembled Mathew
slowly appeared in front of them.
"Kael..wait, something's off," Lyra said, holding Kael's arm.
"Is that…is that the manager?" Kael asked fearfully. Previously when Mathew transformed,
he felt warmth and safety from him. Now, he only felt fear and malice.
"They look the same, but I don't think that's the manager" Lyra replied, also noticing
Mathew's bizarreness.
"Then where's the manager?" Kael asked in confusion.
"Do it now Orion" Norio shouted hurriedly.
"Yeah, dimensional-"
"Too bad for you, Starfall-blink" Lucian muttered with a smirk.
Slash.
Lucian teleported behind them and beheaded both their heads with a single slash. Their
shocked heads fell to the ground.
"Looks like Mathew isn't that useless after all. This skill he created isn't half bad" Lucian said
with a nod. Lucian watched as Orion and Norio's bodies disappeared into light particles.
Kael and Lyra who watched this scene from inside the shop were in awe and fear. Before
they couldn't react, they noticed Lucian standing in front of them with a creepy smile.
"Aghhhh" they shouted in fear.
"Who are you? Why do you like our manager?" Kael asked in a trembling voice, as he took a
step back unconsciously in fear.
"I'm Lucian, and your manager isn't coming back anytime soon" Lucian replied with a smirk.
"No, it can't be. He's very strong, nothing could've possibly happened to him" Lyra replied
shaking her head in disbelief.
"Haha, believe whatever you want. Anyway, I'm bored..ready for a lesson kids?" Lucian
asked with a laugh.
"What…how did you know that?" Kael asked in horror.
"He must be related to the manager somehow", Lyra replied.
"So, you're the one with the brain" Lucian nodded his head. He coated his right hand with the
dark purple Nova. He slashed toward their neck when a mysterious finger suddenly
stopped him.
"Well well, if it isn't Lucian," Valerio said calmly.
"You again, I won't forgive you for what you did to me back then" Lucian replied in a dark
tone. He got angry just thinking about it.
"And I am not gonna forgive you for attacking these 2 either" Valerio replied calmly.
"Sealing-bind" Valerio muttered as he pointed his fingers at Lucian. Streams of Runes
surrounded him as Lucian instantly fell and fainted. Valerio coughed a bit of blood.
The dark purple hair of Lucian faded away gradually as the blonde hair returned.
'Thankfully Lucian didn't break the seal completely, or else it would have been a pain' Valerio
thought.
"Uncle Val, are you okay?" Kael asked in concern.
"It's nothing much" Valerio replied, wiping the corner of his mouth.
"What just happened? Also, where did you go Uncle Val? What's wrong with the manager"
Lyra asked a barrage of questions.
"Now now, let's breathe a little" Valerio replied as he picked up Mathew and took the twins to
the underground facility for first aid.
"So, what were you asking me earlier?" Valerio asked with a smile.
"About the manager? Who was the one that tried to kill us?" Lyra asked, significantly calming
down.
"As I have told you guys earlier, anyone in the world can inherit the fragment of gods, whether it was a named god, or gods whose names were forgotten in history. In Mathew's case, he has another personality in him, Lucian. Mathew inherited the eyes of the strongest angel, Archangel Michael and his other personality, Lucian, inherited the eyes of the strongest devil, Lucifer who was banished from heaven" Valerio explained calmly as the twins listened in awe.
"So, each of his personality inherited a fragment?" Lyra asked in confirmation.
"That's correct" Valerio nodded.
"What?? So the manager is both Angel and Devil?" Kael asked in shock.
"Haha, he kinda is" Valerio replied.
"So, what did you to do that Lucian guy?" Lyra asked. She noticed previously that Valerio did
something to him.
"I sealed him, but that's just temporary, ultimately only Mathew can deal with that on his own"
Valerio replied with a sigh. He was helpless in this matter.
"I think we should just let the manager rest for a bit," Kael said as he looked at the still-unconscious Mathew. It was unknown if he was unconscious or asleep.
"Yeah, you're right. Let's leave" Valerio said as everyone left the facility except for Mathew.
As they were going up in the elevator.
"I'll tell you another thing, the reason that I put Mathew in charge of your training was
because of the very reason," Valerio said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Lyra asked, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Just like you two, Mathew and Lucian are polar opposites, so I figured he could be a better
teacher for you two and yield some interesting results" Valerio replied with a laugh.
"Woah, that makes a lot of sense," Kael said in amazement.
"Anyways, go and rest, I'll rest too. We had a long day" Valerio replied as they reached the
shop.
The twins waved him goodbye and went to rest.
