Chapter 63 - 63: Slicing In Little
Lucifer was impulsive, but he was not stupid. His impulse got the better of him in most situations, but he had understood his powers as well as he could at this point, and he knew how to utilize it in a battle to his advantage.
As he saw the sand shield appear, he knew that someone was blocking him.
It was either that girl, and she had double Awakening. The reason she screamed with another person's name was to throw Lucifer off to the wrong trail.
The other option was that it was actually another person. He looked around and didn't take long to find that person.
A dark-haired young man was standing there. He had his palms pointed towards the sand shield. It was probably his ability that saved her.
Lucifer knew that resisting the force of the girl would make things more complicated. He thought of something and gave up fighting her force. He started flying towards her instead, supported by the same force.
He planned to use this force to get to the girl faster and kill her. Unfortunately, This didn't work out either as something strange happened.
Just as he was in the middle of Elisi and that girl, the force changed direction. No matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to move forward towards the girl either now. It was as if her force was pulling him back instead.
It wasn't hard to realize that the girl could probably pull people closer or push them far away. It was her ability.
He was more focused on the girl, trying to find ways to get rid of her fast, and didn't realize that Elisi had formed another Energy Blast behind him.
Before he could think of what to do in this situation to deal with the girl, the Energy Blast of Elisi landed on him, catching him unprepared.
A big blast occurred simultaneously, which was so bad that everything was covered in flames. The terrible attack of Elisi had actually landed on Lucifer.
People couldn't see what was happening because of the fire and the smoke, but it was impossible for Lucifer to be alive. People were sure that his body was blown up to pieces from that blast. Unless his body was made from titanium or something even harder, he shouldn't have his body intact.
And healing with little remains of the body should be impossible. As long as he was beyond repair, he was dead, they thought.
It was only after a long time when the fire stopped, and the smoke disappeared.
Everyone looked on the ground to find the remains of Lucifer. It didn't take them long to find him either.
He was lying on the ground. Most of his body was burnt, but he was still not in pieces.
His left arm had disappeared, though.
It was shocking for everyone to see him still have most of his body, though. How? The attack landed on him. Was his body really that hard?
What they didn't realize was that Lucifer had done something at the end moment as he felt a sense of danger.
He had used his left hand to stop the attack at the last second. His left glove had burned off as soon as it came in contact with the energy ball, but his ability of Decay was able to take effect since the glove was not stopping it from working anymore after being destroyed.
His S-Rank ability of Decay worked even on the ability of Elisi as it started decaying her energy ball, weakening it.
The Energy Ball had decayed, and it had weakened a lot before it blew up. That's why the damage to Lucifer was not as bad as everyone had assumed.
It wasn't that the attack was weak but that the strength of the attack was less than it should have been.
Lucifer was only burned in some places and lost his left hand in the process.
His right hand was still fine, and the glass piece was still in the right hand. He was still protecting that thing with everything he got.
His hair was burned off as well, making him look odd. There was no hair on his head now.
"He managed to survive that as well? Just who is this monster?!" Sergeant Trafford exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face as he took a step back in shock.
He knew about the strength of Elisi and the rumors. The boy had healing. That was shocking in itself but still understandable, but for him to have most of his body still intact after that attack? How? That didn't make sense to him.
Everyone present there looked back and forth between Elisi and Lucifer, waiting for her commands on what to do next.
Even Elisi was stunned to see Lucifer survive her direct attack. Just how could someone so strong exist?
She suddenly started walking ahead, determined to do something.
"He might have survived, but he's no better than dead. His healing will probably take a few hours to heal him from that, and even then, he won't be in a condition to fight," she said, walking closer to Lucifer.
Her wet clothes stuck closer to her body, highlighting her figure, which was not bad in the least. Unfortunately, the look and expressions on her face made her anything but attractive, to say the least.
"There is no way his hand would heal from this. Still, I won't give him that much time. There's no need for this son of a bi*ch to live anymore."
With determination to kill, she walked towards Lucifer, not knowing how sharp her words were. If she knew who Lucifer's mother was, her knees might have been shaking in fear now.
Sorcerer class Variant Clarisse was one of the scariest Variants known to people. She was a name that almost everyone knew. She was praised for her beauty but she was revered for her strength which wasn't a secret either.
While Sergeant Trafford and the others stayed behind, Elisi walked closer to Lucifer.
She stopped right above the badly injured boy, who was lying on the ground, unmoving. Her condescending gaze was looking down at him as if he was a commoner who deserved to be in her feet, and she was a queen.
She glanced back at one of her men and said, "Tei, come closer. I want to see his body sliced in pieces so small that even the god can't put him together. Get to work."
