Chapter 760: [The Last Concert]
“Lilith, you dare stop me?”
Lucifer’s asked coldly. All of these seemed to take a long number of words to describe but not even a second had passed since all of this occurred.
Their actions, speed, movements, all couldn’t be followed by the naked eye, even to those extremely powerful people such as Asmodeus, Andrealphus, Lifilia, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—they could only watch silly, not clearly understand what had just happened in a blink of an eye.
“Someone’s chasing his husband’s ass, of course, the wife will come to rescue—”
Allen grinned as he suddenly ducked and his leg whipped towards Lucifer’s exposed side.
“Pitiful!”
Lucifer snorted and his right leg rose up, meeting Allen’s kick with his knee.
"You dare hide behind a woman, you've gone weak, Dante!!"
“Same to you!”
Lilith turned her body around and sent her other fist, punching Lucifer’s side almost simultaneously with Allen’s attack.
“Don’t get in my way, you damn woman!”
Baaaang!!
Lucifer roared and a powerful shockwave came out from his body.
“?!!”
A tremendous change appeared on Allen and Lilith’s expression at the same time, they crossed their arms in front of their chest but they were still blown away.
“Aaaaahh!!!”
Allen roared as he felt his body being pushed by an invisible force. But even still, as he was flying backward, he clenched his hand and shot it forward—golden beams of lights, coated by lighting sparks shot from his two palms, shooting towards Lucifer.
BOOOM!!
A loud explosion occurred.
Allen flipped his body in the air and landed in the ground, rolling over a shoulder up onto one knee. Then, he jumped backward.
The ground underneath him turned into a large maw full of fangs, taking a big bite in his former position.
Wooosh.
A figure came out from the clouds of dust and smoke due to Allen’s attack. Seeing this, Allen pivoted his foot and then jump towards the wall, running horizontally in the wall—his movements so clean, gliding in and out of each jump, his face perfectly calm.
“You can’t run away forever, Dante!”
Lucifer’s voice rang out.
"There is no way to run from your destiny!"
It is a dizzying chase up and over the uneven surface of the wall and ornamented flags and lamps—from the roof to ceiling, the two of them run.
“Forever is too long!”
Allen replied. His voice is cold but calm. At the corner of his eyes, he could see Lilith and Vergil had also started their fierce battle. Then he grinned, he stops and suddenly turned around, facing Lucifer.
“... I’m not planning to run for that long!”
“Do you regret it?”
Asked Lucifer in a cold tone after seeing him stopped.
“Ridiculous, what regrets could I, Allen Bando, have?”
Allen was staring at Lucifer with dangerous lights twinkling in his eyes.
When Lucifer saw Allen’s expression, he correctly understood that the latter didn’t care at all, and even less regretted his actions. Lucifer’s face was filled with murder; he had to make Allen feel endless regret and pain for denying his invitation.
“You self-deluded fool…!”
Lucifer snorted.
“Not very classy for someone's dying words.”
Allen gnashed his teeth and his aura burst out just like Lucifer.
Electric sparks circled around him as he assumes a fighting stance. When Lucifer arrived a few meters away from him, Allen gives a short cry and launches a furious attack. It is like a Jackie Chan movie at high speed, fists and feet striking from every angle as Allen presses his attack- but each and every blow is blocked by effortless speed.
“If you're eager to die, then that's fine by me.”
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Lucifer sneered in contempt as he followed Allen’s attack with his own.
“I shall put an end to your misery.”
His movements were as fast as Allen’s, no, perhaps even much faster and stronger. His combat skills and techniques also didn’t fall short.
As expected from one of the Four Crown Princes of Hell—much higher and stronger than the Demon Princes of the Seven Sins- Lucifer, the Bringer of Light.
In ancient times, there were only three other people that could rival that power. The first Demon, Satan, the Sea Demon Lord; Leviathan and lastly, the one loyal to Lucifer- the one who had ushered the great fall of the Son of Heaven- Belial!
These four people are known to be the legendary Crown Princes of Hell!
Despite this very moment, only Lucifer and Belial have remained alive.
Allen’s face is knotted, teeth clenched, as he hurls himself at Lucifer. Fist, kick, elbow, everything he could use as a weapon in his body was shot out. All of them radiated magic power as they carried an onslaught towards the Light Bringer.
“Good. Adaptation. Improvisation. But your weakness isn't your technique.”
Lucifer grinned as he attacks him back and it is like nothing Allen has seen.
His feet and fists are everywhere, taking Allen apart. For every blow Allen blocks, two more hit their marks until—Allen couldn’t help but jumped back in retreat. However, as he did, his leg sent a sidekick—Bang! But Lucifer met it with his own kick.
“Gorgeous! Not just technique, combat ability, your own reaction, power, reflexes, speed, all of them are top class. Even physical and magical powers are beyond normal Demon Princes could achieve. It’s surely at the level of me, Lilith, and Vergil who should have all the powers of the original Solomon and a factor of mine combine. You’re making me love your body, even more, Dante…”
“Can you please stop that?! You’re seriously creeping me out!”
Allen felt sick by Lucifer’s sudden fascination and his back tingled in Goosebumps. He backflipped; palms landed on the ground before pushing them off and somersaulted in the air a few times before landing once again.
“That’s your imagination,”
Allen snorted. His expression was flat and uncaring.
“From where I stand, it looks like only one of us will be breathing by the end of the day. As that’s the case, let’s settle this like gentlemen - with a gentlemanly challenge.”
“… …”
“Let’s heat things up a little!”
When he finished taking, a familiar sword appeared above Allen, whistling as it cut through the air. It was then shot into the sky, spinning around. Waving his arms around, invisible razor wind cut through the air and shot toward Lucifer. Then, he leaped in the air and stretched out his hand, and caught the spinning sword as it was falling.
That sword was extremely shiny, and it looked as sharp as the autumn rain.
[Rebellion]
Rebellion trembled as if it was feeling excited in the impending battle.
“It's useless to resist.”
Lucifer smiled coldly and started releasing deadly energy as a long sword, seemingly made out of beautiful blue crystal appeared around him. The deadly energy that he was emitting started revolving violently. His energies were revolving and whistling through the air as they were released.
“In front of me, you dare to use a sword.”
Said Lucifer while taking a step forwards. It was as if his entire body had transformed into a sword and he was shooting through the air towards Allen.
“Whether I dare or not, you will see.” retorted Allen as he rushed through the air as well.
At that moment, in his heart, there was only sword energy; there was only the path of the sword. His sword was alive. Yeah, she is alive—no matter how many lifetimes he experienced, no matter how much time passed by, she has always been here! Staying beside him!
She was his sword, his shield, his armor, his spear… everything he needed; she will always appear and give it to him!
And in this end… Rebellion will once again stay by his side, till the end truly comes!
“Come on, Rebellion—this is the last concert. LET'S ROCK!!”
““AAAaaahhhhhHHHHH—!!!””
Along with Allen’s roar, Rebellion’s voice echoed in the entire hall as both their roar overlapped.
… …
Back in the Mortal World.
Hundreds of thousands of ability users were gathered around Italica. The lowest level among them was above Pawn Lv4 Superhuman, and they were those who could be called ‘elites’ – such people had gathered within Italica to protect it from the invading monsters. Amongst them, at most 5% had died in the second month in the chaotic fight, and the scale of the damage was increasing.
{*Screeech*}
“Shit, it’s a flying-type monster!”
“The Anti-Air Squad, where are the special forces of the Bianchi Family!? If we don’t stop them here, the City Walls would be in danger!”
“Go to the rooftop and shoot those monsters down! Block them in area A-1!”
The first thing they should do was to prevent the proliferation of other areas. The people all wanted to finish the crisis in front of them to run and protect the City Walls against the flying monsters, but only half succeeded. Although they were doing best in the first month, however, as the number of monsters grew, powerful monsters also appeared one after another.
Modern Weapons couldn’t finally catch up with the monster horde and the monster was slowly gaining momentum.
It’s not because the modern weapons have lost their usefulness, instead, more powerful monsters with thick defenses appeared charging through the explosions head-on and the monsters following behind it were able to avoid the damages dealt with these explosions. One can even be said that the monsters were gradually becoming smarter as time passed by. This cause the war to become even more intensified. More chaotic.
Aileen’s expression fell, and even Mia and Layla deeply frowned, while Sara Avesta and Lieri Del Con who were still standing at the top of the City Wall protecting the two also felt a bit anxious as they watch the growing horde that was attacking them in waves. They were all thinking the same thing. If they rushed over like this, their defense would be destroyed after a few waves.
“I’ll make my move, Aileen, Sara protect the master and mistress please,” Lieri who was watching the flying monsters flapping their wings and firing range attacks to the City Barrier said suddenly.
The Anti-Air squad consists of range-type Superhumans who can barely do anything because of the numbers of flying monsters that were encircling above the entire City. Even those Superhumans that could fly didn’t dare fly too much in the air, as they feared they would be surrounded the moment they appeared.
Lieri who was watching this was already frowning.
“Don’t worry, with me around, nothing will happen to Sister Mia and Sister Layla,” Sara nodded her head.
“No problem,” Aileen, whose figure suddenly blurred and then become clear once again answered with a bright smile.
However, on the tip of her dagger, there was already blood ripping on it. It seems like she had just gone to kill and then returned as if it was nothing. Her speed was incredible as always…!
The composition of the people at the of the City Wall consists of; The Bianchi’s War Princess; Mia Bianchi and Layla standing in the middle, and next to Mia was the Bianchi Attack Force Current Commander; Aileen Cahlo, and at the left side of Layla, protecting her was Sara Avesta.
And other than them, eight members that they had picked and among the strongest elites were standing in a protective formation to guard Mia and Layla.
