Just by a single swing of his sword, Hell was now divided into two pieces. The battle was at it's peak and rather than backing down, the Silver Eyed charged on Lucifer and Lucifer again swinged his Hades and this time, it was barely blocked by the Guardian Blade. He then tried to strike Lucifer using his Guardian Blade and Lucifer blocked it with his Hades.
During his training,
"What do you think of Lucifer, Silver Eyed? " asked Apolo.
He replied, "He is the fallen angel. "
"Well, that is correct but do you know about his immortality? "
"Wait, is he also immortal? "
"Not like you, but in a sense yes. He has Eternal Youth. He can only die when someone kill him but that is also near impossible because no one knows where his heart is, no one. To kill Lucifer, you don't have to send him in awakening state but to find his heart and destroy it. When we fought him, we failed in finding his heart and that's how we got captured in Hell and then we created this Guardian Forest. "
"But what is Eternal Youth? " asked the Silver Eyed.
"Eternal Youth, it is a very complicating blessing he received when he was an angel. Through Eternal Youth, he is not supposed to get old and he received it when he was 24 years old and that's why he still looks like 24 but after becoming the fallen angel, his Eternal Youth stopped working and to make it work, he had to consume blood and flesh of many Guardian Souls. We are his food reserve that's why he has kept us in Hell and you are our only hope, child. "
Present Time,
Lucifer blocked the Guardian Blade using his hades but the Silver Eyed didn't stopped there, he used more of his strengh and cut the right arm of Lucifer and said, "This was for all those Guardian Souls you consumed for your own selfish desires, Lucifer. ".
Lucifer listened and laughed and said, " Ah, so that stupid Apolo told you about my Eternal Youth. Don't worry brat, after killing you, i will consume him too." and right when he finished his sentence, he saw him right infront of his eyes with a very cold and fearful expression on his face and he used his Guardian Blade and tried to behead Lucifer again but this time, he failed because Hades easily blocked his Guardian Blade.
"Did you really thought that you can behead me like that, brat? "
Lucifer then charged on him and launched a barrage of strikes on him and Silver Eyed could not do anything except blocking. He was barely able to block and now was driven to a corner.
Lucifer said, "Let me show you something. "
Lucifer chanted, "Hell's Gate: Summon! " and right after he finished his chanting, a very big gate opened behind him and a being came out of it, a being with the head of a bat, a human body, two wings and was atleast something around 7-8 feet in height and was very muscular and also had very big claws enough to rival that of Lucifer's.
Lucifer said, "Meet my masterpiece, i created him after cross-breeding in different races and DNA manipulation. His name is, Zarkhiel.
Zarkhiel was so overpowered that he rivaled Lucifer in his full strength, had all the abilities of a bat and can produce even Ultrasonic waves to mess with the ears of his opponents and his ash-gray color and red eyes made him even more fearful.
Silver Eyed said, "Oh, so you are gonna need help to defeat me, I never thought you will be this weak, Lucifer. ".
Lucifer gave a laugh and said, " This is merely an entertainment for me, brat. I am gonna torture you and then after killing you, I will turn you into one of my subjects. ".
Right after finishing his words, Lucifer ordered Zarkhiel to demolish the Silver Eyed and he rushed on him and started a barrage of attack of claws on him but his every attack was being blocked by the Guardian Blade and then from behind him, Lucifer attacked the Silver Eyed, disturbing his focus and then Zarkhiel used his Ultrasonic sounds to mess with his ears and he became deaf for a second but then his body regenerated.
The Silver Eyed knew that he can't defeat those two alone, he needed a help to defeat them. He said, "I guess i will have to call them. ".
Lucifer was confused and let him do what he wanted to do.
The Silver Eyed said, "Oh Souls, provide me with your protection and hear my call, come forth, Guardians. " and suddenly, many dogs came out of the ground, they had a green smoke surrounding them and their color was a mixture of green and black. Those dogs charged on Zarkhiel and the Silver Eyed on Lucifer.
Lucifer gave a very loud laugh because he was very amused by his tricks.
During his training, Apolo told him something, "There's another technique you can use by the help of your Blade's soul. You can summon an army of the beings who are similar to the Soul of the Blade. Your Blade's soul have the characteristics of a dog, a wild dog. You can summon numerous wild dogs for your help and the number depends on your capability and your spirit energy. You have eternal spirit energy so you can summon as much as you want but only if you have the capability. ".
He trained but he was not able to summon an infinite number of wild dogs but only 120 but they were more than enough.
He unleashed the Guardian Breathe on Lucifer and Lucifer lost his left hand and then Lucifer attacked him with his Hades which he barely dodged and then he kicked Lucifer on the face and again charged on him and this time, they both were fighting in the sky destroying each and everything around them.
Here, the wild dogs were getting destroyed by Zarkhiel's raw power and Ultrasonic waves.
Lucifer grabbed the Guardian Blade and tried to cut his body horizontally but before his Hades could touch him, he used Lunar Decoy and went to Zarkhiel with his speed and here Zarkhiel was busy destroying the wild dogs not realising the danger coming towards him and when he realised, it was too late, he used his Guardian Blade and unleashed the attack, Guardian Breathe and cut Zarkhiel into a million pieces. Lucifer did not do anything to save his masterpiece, he just laughed and something happened, Zarkhiel's body started regenerating and from each part, a new Zarkhiel was formed, a million Zarkhiels was there now.
The Silver Eyed now knew, it was impossible for him from the start to kill Lucifer. Suddenly, numerous portals opened behind him, he thought it was another technique of Lucifer but Lucifer also didn't knew what those portals were.
From those portals, numerous white beings came out of it. They had no face but only the body structure of male and female. Some of them were not even like human, titans, giants and dragons. They were some around 700,000. From them, a white being came to the Silver Eyed and said, "I knew that you will require our aid while fighting Lucifer, child. ".
The Silver Eyed recognized his voice and said, " Apolo? ".
The white being said, " Yes, my child. I am Apolo and everyone behind me are the rest of the Guardian Souls who were also inside the Guardian Forest. This is not our true form, this is the form we manifested from our memories of the last war and came here to help you. You can focus on Lucifer, we will take care of Zarkhiel and don't worry, we know how to kill that beast. ".
Zarkhiel can be killed by piercing the center of his brain stem and the Silver Eyed didn't knew about that that's why he failed.
The Silver Eyed was happy to see them and relaxed for a second and Apolo continued, " Child, don't underestimate Lucifer, if you really think that you have driven him to a corner than you are wrong because, he has yet to go all out. ".
Lucifer laughed and said, " Apolo, you really know me better than anyone! ".
Right when he finished, the Silver Eyed rushed on Lucifer and tried to strike him with the Guardian Blade but Lucifer took some steps back and dodged it and then he jumped and again kicked Lucifer on face, Lucifer grabbed his leg and smashed him on the ground and he chanted, "Burning Hydra: Conqueror's Tempest! " and the dragons attacked Lucifer in a second and the Silver Eyed took the opportunity and attacked him with them and when the dragons disapeared, he used Guardian's Breathe and cut Lucifer into a million pieces and then grabbed his Hades but then he felt a great shock and he had to let go of Hades and Lucifer regenerated.
Hades was devoted to Lucifer and if anyone else tried to used Hades or even touch it, that being was supposed to experience a great shock. Lucifer used Hades and attacked him but this time, the Silver Eyed disapeared from his sight and something sliced open his back, it was the Silver Eyed.
Pain worked as a blessing for the Silver Eyed, the more pain he felt, the more powerful he gets. This was a technique he created by infusing his Lunar spirit energy with all his organs and nerves. Because of that, whenever his body received a pain impulse, the Lunar spirit energy turned the pain impulses into his power because of which, he gets stronger the longer the battle gets and the more damage he received.
Lucifer was surprised to see such thing and he was now also getting bored. He said, "I guess, we should end the battle now. I will show you what a true emperor can do. ".
Suddenly, in few seconds, his body turned into something else. He went under a transformation, from a very handsome and beautiful being to a very scary and fearful being. His half body represented angel and half a devil. He was no longer a human like being but a pure devil, a devil with a very cold expression and a scary face. The devil who's aura represented chaos, laugh represented despair and words represented curse.
He used a nameless attack and suddenly, a hand came out of the ground, a hand made up of shadows and the hand attacked the Silver Eyed and throw him back. Before he could even move or feel the pain, Lucifer grabbed his head and throw him in the sky, went to him with his speed and kicked him on the ground and there was no ground beneath him but only lava.
He fell into the lava and felt the burning pain, Lucifer also dived into the Lava, took him out and pierced his abdoment with his Hades and slowly started dividing his body into two parts.
He used his Guardian Blade to cut Lucifer's hand but it failed because Lucifer grabbed the Guardian Blade, forcefully took it and throw it in the lava.
He kicked Lucifer and again fell into the lava, his body regenerated but then again, lava started damaging his body. He somehow found his Guardian Blade, grabbed it and again, Lucifer dived in the lava but this time, Lucifer was kicked out of the lava. Something then came out of the lava, Apolo looked towards that thing and was very proud of him. He went under the Soul Manifestation and manifestated Cerebrus' soul and now was in his form, the form he used to destroy Samael.
Lucifer summoned numerous hands and claws but all were destroyed by him in a blink of eye and he attacked Lucifer. They both had numerous clashes of their sword and no one was able to track their movement.
While fighting, they even went towards the fight of the Guardian Souls and Zarkhiel and killed many of them because they came in between them.
Lucifer came on the ground and used a attack, "Dark Night! " and unleashed a dark slash from his Hades towards the Silver Eyed which he barely dodged and the parallel verse was cut, the dimension of the parallel verse which was created by Lucifer was cut.
But despite being scared, the Silver Eyed gave a smile and rushed to him, it was like two immortal beings were fighting as if their life was on the line.
The Silver Eyed was able to overpower Lucifer because whenever Lucifer wounded him, the pain turned into power but still, he was unable to kill Lucifer.
Here, most of the Zarkhiel was killed by the Guardian Souls and only few of them left and the original one. Apolo and the original Zarkhiel was having a battle and the original also gone berserk.
The Silver Eyed then remembered Lilith's words, "If you really want to kill Lucifer, fight wirh your imagination. ".
He knew that Lucifer was a devil but despite that he had a halo. He had no heart and when he was with Apolo, Apolo told him about angel too and how their halo is like their life. When Apolo fought Lucifer, he had no halo but only horns.
The Silver Eyed charged on Lucifer and now both of them were only 3 steps away from each other, Hades was ready to use Dark Night and Lucifer used it but he didn't dodged it and let it strike, his whole left part of the body was cut but despite that, he jumped, Lucifer for the first time felt scared, he realised that he was targeting his halo.
He jumped on Lucifer and used his new attack, a single strike move, "Guardian's Fang! " and with that move, Lucifer's halo was destroyed and Lucifer went back to his original form.
