Chapter 165: The real threat! (1/2)
Lucien watched as the massive azure Chinese serpent dragon charged towards him at full speed! Seeing a familiar face who he has depended on for a long while, Lucien felt emotions welling up in him. He had come to the underworld thinking he is all alone and that was the reason why he fought as hard as he could. Even if he couldn't make a name for himself in the world of the living, Lucien wanted to leave a mark in the underworld before his permanent demise! The appearance of the God of death marked his final ending but even then he wasn't scared, he planned to throw all he had at Death's attack, dying while knowing fully well that he did his best.
”I… I NEVER GAVE UP!” Lucien's voice was shaky as he screamed those words at the blue dragon just a few meters above him!
Whoosh!
The Chinese serpent dragon suddenly exploded into a body of sky blue mist and from it a figure emerged, landing gracefully. The figure was over 6ft tall with ridiculously long sky blue hair with bright blue eyes and a nose ring put on. He had the tattoo of a blue serpent dragon on the right side of his face and his skin had strange cracks that made him look like he had dragon scales with his bright blue kimono fluttering gracefully as he descended.
”I know… You never let me down, even in death… After watching you struggle through your eye, how could I not risk my life to save the soul of my precious successor?” Rakuzen said with an ethereal voice while touching Lucien's cheeks gently with his hands and only then did Lucien realize that his nails were painted blue as well.
Hearing those words, his bad boy act almost collapsed but he struggled really hard to keep up a strong image for the sake of Rakuzen in the presence of a fellow god. He struggled and got on his feet while Rakuzen watched him doing this, giving him an approving nod before turning his attention on the god of death!
The moment he gazed at the lanky pale youth, his facial expression turned fierce causing the god of death to take a step back in fear!
”You dare try to lay a hand on my successor? What happened eternity got boring?” Rakuzen said coldly as he used his body to shield Lucien from his gaze.
His blue nails soon began expanding, slowly becoming claws and fangs could be seen growing in his mouth while his skin was turning a little bit blue!
”Your successor? That explains a lot! Only someone with such a close relationship with the god of gods Rakuzen can enter my underworld and swagger about without restraint!” The god of death said with an understanding expression.
”But since you are here, don't even bother leaving!” The god of death's expression suddenly turned fierce as he pulled his hand down and the massive skull began descending quickly!
”YOU!!!!” Rakuzen growled viciously as his body released a blue light and a massive azure Chinese serpent dragon shot out of his body, letting out a loud cry before charging towards Rakuzen!
It quickly assumed the shape of a dragon spear, falling into Rakuzen's hands as he leaped up towards the attack with a grave look on his face!
”Rakuzen!”
Lucien's voice stunned both Rakuzen and death and they couldn't help but watched Lucien recreate Rakuzen's actions using the faceless and leaping up towards the massive death skull descending from above! Seeing this a smile bloomed on Rakuzen's face and he got a bit more excited!
”Hahahahaha! Just this one kid! Just this once I will let you fight by my side!” Rakzuen laughed madly as he and Lucien began spinning their spears releasing a sea of blue flames twisting and turning viciously like an unsettling sea!
While Lucien's flame was like a match stick compared to a wildfire when put in comparison with that of Rakuzen he didn't look disturbed or discouraged! Instead, he kept pouring his all into that attack!
BOOM!
