Chapter 1056 1057
Lucifer"s eyes blazed with a cold fury as he relentlessly pummeled Talia, his superhuman strength overpowering Talia"s weakened defenses.
Finally, with a final, bone-shattering blow, Lucifer sent Talia flying through the air, her body cras.h.i.+ng against a blood-stained boulder. However Lucifer didn"t stop.
Like the wounded beast, he appeared right before Talia, grabbing both her hands before kicking her stomach.
Talia"s body was sent flying, but her arms remained in Lucifer"s hands, completely detached from her body. Even the white ring was in Lucifer"s hands now.
The battle was over however, Lucifer still didn"t let it go. It was as if he was filled with madness.
He continued to unleash a flurry of strikes on Talia, not giving her a chance to defend herself.
With each blow, he seemed to grow crazier, fueled by an unknown force. It was clear that something dark and powerful had taken hold of him. It was his pure madness that he had kept buried.
All his sadness, all his pain from losing everyone close to him, all his heartbreak, when he sealed his emotions, all of that was buried deep within. It was as if all those emotions were coming at the forefront at this moment.
Talia"s vision began to blur as the pain became unbearable. She summoned every ounce of strength left in her, yet she couldn"t protect herself.
She even felt her body being restricted in time. Even Lucifer didn"t realize that he had subconsciously sealed the entire time and s.p.a.ce of this world. And without the ring, Talia wasn"t immune to it.
The black lightning crackled overhead, as if accompanying Lucifer in his rage. Thick lightning bolts kept falling all over the world as the clouds roared.
In the blood-stained barren world, Lucifer kept hitting Talia again and again... Even Talia couldn"t survive Lucifer"s fists, which were further strengthened by his super strength and the gauntlets.
It was unclear when she died, but her lifeless eyes stared blankly into the void above. The once vibrant and fierce warrior now lay defeated, her spirit extinguished by the relentless onslaught of Lucifer"s wrath.
However, Lucifer didn"t stop as if he couldn"t even register that she had died. The ground beneath cracked with his fists, sending shockwaves through the air.
Constant roars of Lucifer kept resounding far and wide as Lucifer kept punching. In that madness, even tears of black blood could be seen coming down the corner of his eyes.
His nose, lips and ears also bled, yet he didn"t stop. He kept using all his strength. This was his only outlet, not even caring that his healing had completely stopped thanks to the poison.
It was only after the poison had taken a complete hold of his heart that he felt his body go weak. He fell on the b.l.o.o.d.y ground, his body almost paralyzed from the poison.
In the world, only one person was left alive. It was Lucifer and even he couldn"t move in the slightest.
It was only when he stopped attacking thanks to partial paralysis that his healing worked, albeit only to a small extent.
After half an hour, Lucifer was finally able to move his finger. He had also regained his consciousness, his mind once again clear. Yet his tears didn"t stop as he looked at the clouded sky.
After a long time, he pushed his aching body up while spitting the dark blood that had gathered in his mouth, his vision still dark.
He looked at the unrecognizable mess beside him, that once used to be Talia. The battle was over. But he knew that it wasn"t the complete reality.
Multiple Spatial portals opened all around the world, as multiple unfamiliar figures stepped out of the portal. Some of them had the same emblem on their chest like Talia.
"This girl..." One of the men above the sky looked at Talia, sighing. "What trash. I"m glad she"s dead."
Another man, holding a similar authority, looked at the dark haired man, smirking. "She was a fool. But she was still our little sister. Second Brother, shouldn"t you be more mindful of what you say?"
"I don"t need to be mindful of anything, Second Brother. What"s true is true. In her greed of collecting an accomplishment, she hid the fact that she found him. Not only did she lose her life at the hands of that Arcane Remnant, but she even alerted that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. "
"It"s lucky we found out about this from her people and came here on time. Otherwise, what would we have done if he had gone into hiding?"
Although the men were standing in the sky above, Lucifer could hear their words. He understood that they were Talia"s brothers. They also appeared stronger than her.
Moreover, there were five brothers, having even higher standing than Talia who had arrived here. What was worse was that all of them held a similar ring of immunity.
"First it was her. Then it"s you. Is your father next? Then your Ancestors?" Lucifer asked as he spat out even more black blood from his mouth.
"Looks like there"s only one way to end this."
As soon as he awakened the inheritance, he had thought of something. However, he wanted to wait and be in his best condition when he tried that. However now that looked unlikely as he wasn"t even sure if in his current condition, he could come out alive or not.
There was no time to think about it. There was no time to wait. Even if he was in his worst condition, he knew he had to do it. If death was his destiny, he wanted to die trying.
"What is that trash mumbling? Is he trying to insult us?" One of Talia"s Brothers asked as he saved his hand. "Just because he killed that trash, he thinks he"s something else?"
An invisible blade appeared right behind Lucifer who could barely move. The blade sliced through Lucifer"s left leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"That"s better. You look much better wriggling on the ground like an insect," the dark haired man spoke, his eyes emotionless yet filled with arrogance.
Even as he fell on the ground, Lucifer didn"t once groan in pain. Instead, he started laughing as he was covered in the pool of his own blood.
