Chapter 86: Great Seals (2/2)

And because this was an upgrade to the Hell Gates, the mana pressure surrounding the room got even stronger and pulled Rouge even more.

”Kuhh!!!” Rouge groaned out loud as he felt his skin being ripped apart even though he was protecting himself with mana.

His feet were hurting as well as he was...basically being dragged along with the ground.

That was not all as the ground...was also being beaten to a pulp with the power of the mana pressure.

It was being destroyed at a faster rate as it just got stronger.

'The power of the Great Seals is even better and stronger than the Hell Gates...the result of this fight should be obvious after some time...just a little bit more...' The Patriarch thought.

And what he thought was the truth. Although the Great Seals isn't really an attack or a finisher attack or anything of the sort, it would still kill a powerful demon.

And from what the Patriarch has observed earlier, Lucifer was definitely a powerful demon.

However, he, too, would definitely be killed by the Great Seals, although it would take more time than usual since Great Seals is a technique used to make a demon run out of his strength and then kill them.

That was why the Patriarch thought that...he has already won this fight.

The fact that the Patriarch was able to use the Hell Gates and Great Seals without any obstruction means that Lucifer was definitely inside them.

And if he was inside them, he should be taking the full brunt of these dangerous magic spells.

It was obvious, but if one is taking the full brunt of these dangerous magic spells, then one is guaranteed to die.

That was why the Patriarch thought that he already won this battle, and it was just a matter of time until it is fact that he won this battle.

However...no matter how much time has passed, the Hell Gates and the Great Seals are not showing any reaction.

And that was...a little bit weird.

Why? It was because a few minutes should have been enough to kill Lucifer.

And since a few minutes have passed, the Patriarch should be seeing the signals that the Great Seals and the Hell Gates would have let off to say that the target has already died inside.

However, no such thing has happened, which is clearly an indicator saying that Lucifer was still alive.

And this fact made the Patriarch doubt his eyes as he looked at the darkness at the very center of the room.

'Impossible...he's still alive? I'm already using a lot of mana just to keep using Hell Gates and Great Seals simultaneously...no, he should be in a worse situation than me. I just need to bid my time...' The Patriarch thought.

And what he thought was...the truth.

Lucifer was definitely in a bad situation right now as Lucifer was bleeding all over his body.

There was blood flowing down from his mouth, originating from his internal injuries.

There was blood flowing down from his head, originating from the external shock that he initially received when Hell Gates first attacked him.

And that was not the end of his injuries. Hands, arms, face, abdomen, crotch, legs...Lucifer's body was battered all over and it was even weird to think that he was still alive.

And even though he was in a situation like this, Lucifer was...not even doing anything to help himself.

He was not releasing his mana or anything of the sort. He didn't even try to destroy the Great Seals and the Hell Gates, the cause of his suffering.

Why? It was because...Lucifer can't.

He couldn't...move, and that was because of his physical condition that worsened at the worst timing ever.

”Fuck...I can't move at all...” Lucifer murmured as he looked at the darkness with wide-open...red eyes.

His eyes became red due to his wrath alone...his wrath of being injured by a weak demon.
