Chapter 846: Evolution
"This would've been Lucifer if my connection with him wasn't through a shadow. But it's fine. After you, it'll be his turn," Azurel commented.
His fingers were just about to touch the blue speck of flame.
"Argh!" Just a second before his fingers could touch the flames, the blue flame turned Pitch Black. Azurel's fingers touched the blue flame. Instead of being able to control the flame, he felt resistance.
Something was wrong in the flame! As soon as he touched, his hand burnt, and the fire spread throughout the entire body.
He knew if he didn't get out, it was his consciousness which was going to be hurt. He hastily vacated the mental domain of Jian and returned to his body as he took two steps back, freeing the head of Jian.
Jian's eyes returned to normal, but they still looked different. It was as if the eyes were of a hunter now who was filled with arrogance.
His eyes glared at Azurel. "This guy always finds himself in trouble. Sometimes if he just had to be my vessel here."
He glanced at Lucifer, who was fighting with Licia, using his lightning Sword. "It would've been better if I was with the other kid. At least he can fight without external help."
"Sigh." His deep sigh echoed in the entire space. "It's too late now. I'm stuck here and can only work to make him stronger so that he won't need to call me."
"Leaving that aside, I didn't like the fact that you tried to take over his mind. I don't like when people try to take what's mine!" Jian told Azurel, causally taking a step forth.
The dark aura around him was so overwhelming that even Milen was attracted to it. Milen turned back, finally shifting his attention from Lucifer.
The space restrictions weren't working on Jian, which even surprised Licia, who was playing with Lucifer, going easy.
Lucifer was also trying to gauge the strength of Licia, not going all the way out. He wanted to give Milena some time first.
"His other identity? Right time," he smiled, sensing that aura. Jian was free to support him.
"I guess now I don't need to hold back. Since he's out, we can seriously go all out," he stopped attacking Licia, stopping on the ground.
"Jian, welcome back. Can you handle two of them? I'll handle the other two. It's time we ended this!" He told Jian.
"Hahaha, I wouldn't mind taking all four of them for bothering me to come here. But I'll let you have some fun too. You can have two. Select who you want?" Jian asked, smiling.
His figure flickered as he appeared beside Lucifer. All four Generals and Jestil also gathered.
"This is very intriguing." Milen was still more curious about Jian than he was about fighting. This fighting had no importance after all. Licorice already had the other Lucifer.
Just as Lucifer was trying to distract them, they weren't in any hurry either. However, seeing Jian like this has really intrigued him.
"Who are you?" he directly asked. "That isn't the aura of a human. That isn't an Aura of a Baltic either. Who exactly are you?!"
"I'm your father," Jian replied, bursting into laughter. "I must say, I like human sayings. Anyway, jokes aside. It doesn't matter who I am since you aren't going to live for long. Why waste time by telling you my name?"
He placed his hand on Lucifer's shoulder. "So, which two do you want? I will give you the first selection."
"I want these two," Lucifer said, raising his fingers towards Licia and Azurel. "You can have the other two. Make sure they don't disturb me."
"Hehe, they won't," Jian smirked. "They are too busy trying to survive."
He brought his sword out of the sheath and stabbed it to the ground.
His sword stabbed the ground, shattering the Spatial Domain Licia, creating a different domain of his own between him, Milen, Jestil, and Loy. Only Lucifer, Licia, and Azurel were still out.
"I knew it was worth bringing him here," Lucifer muttered. Four generals were too much for him to handle alone, but with two, he didn't worry. Finally, he could get serious.
"You really think you can take us?" Licia asked, controlling herself from bursting into laughter.
"I don't know if I should be happy that you're so naive or pity you. You think the battle so far was our strength? That was just fun games. You don't have what it takes to make us go serious," she added, cracking her knuckles.
"And that's when we're inside this Dungeon where we are weaker. If you can't even force us to bring a fraction of our powers out here, just think what will happen when we're outside? So instead of working against us, work with us," she continued.
The only reason she hadn't hurt Lucifer so far was because she wasn't sure if they were going to need him on top of other Lucifer. She was thinking about the future.
Lucifer also didn't take her words lightly. He knew he was inside a higher level dungeon. He couldn't underestimate these people. However, if he ever had a chance to take these people out, it was now while Jian was with him.
Also, the more he kept them busy, the more time Milena got to save his parents. After his parents were safe, he could think about what to do next. In any case, he wasn't willing to do what these people wanted him to do.
He had a vision for the earth, and he wasn't going to let these people out who wanted to destroy everything. Also, these people had a bad relationship with the person he was trying to get to after locating all the stones. He couldn't let them get to him first.
All those reasons brought him to one conclusion only. He needed to take the two out and hope that Jian could take care of the rest. That was going to leave only Licorice for the two of them to handle, which was a better position than having to face five!
He didn't have his dark Gloves, but his decay wasn't of much use here either since he needed to get close to them and have enough time while holding them. That just time was enough for them to destroy him. So he could only fight without decay.
Two black gauntlets appear around his hand, made purely of dark lightning. A lightning armor appeared around his chest with shoulder plates and shoes. Two dark wings came out of his back to boost his speed even more.
