163 Stupid Brother (1/2)
Lucien knows Amelia is a fantastic swordswoman, so he summoned his katana, to show her that he has a soul weapon just like she does.
But why did he stabbed the katana in the ground? Because he wants to show her that he is limiting himself, but still confident enough to beat her without a weapon.
He knows that Amelia is very powerful, but he wouldn't be able to fight her with a weapon while holding back enough to not harm her. He doesn't want to take any chances of hurting her.
Still, Lucien had hopes of winning, or rather, confidence in his speed. Because it increased even more after he reached the Mortal Realm and absorbed Aylin's Naginata into his soul.
Of course, the difference between Lucien, who is in the first layer of the Mortal Realm, and Amelia, who is in the seventh layer, is still quite significant.
Lucien kissed Lust while she mentally asked him. 'Are you going to use that?'
He replied. 'Yes. I need to show her that my methods are the most effective.'
Lucien was only at the beginning of the Mortal Realm, but there was already a lot he could do. Lust had been teaching him how to use his demonic energy in many different ways, whether to attack, defend himself, or improve his natural capabilities.
Of course, the use of the demonic energy is limited by how much demonic energy a person has, but that's not a problem for Lucien. He generates large amounts of demonic energy from giving pleasure to his women.
”Let's start.” Lucien looked at Amelia, smiled, and started running towards her. He left the katana stabbed in the ground, confusing Amelia.
The distance between them was ten meters. Still, Amelia has very high agility and hoped to have plenty of time to react, taking into account the supposed speed of Lucien.
But she was surprised when she realized that his speed was very similar to hers. The fact that he was unarmed caused Amelia to be unsure of what to do.
She just wanted to prove that she was a lot stronger than him, but she didn't want to hurt him. Although Lucien's speed seemed incredible, she could still clearly see his movements, so she tried to trip him.
She crouched down and spun around, trying to use a sweep kick to trip Lucien.
Lucien and Amelia were using approximately eighty percent of their maximum speed, so he could easily dodge the sweep kick.
Then he forced his body to its limit and jumped over Amelia.
Amelia was shocked when Lucien passed over her, avoiding her movement. Of course, she wasn't trying her best, but still, the difference between two warriors focused on physical combat of the Mortal Realm and Zero Realm is vast.
That meant that Lucien had definitely reached the Mortal Realm, proving Envy's guess.
Because Lucien was already using his body and senses to their limits, he noticed Amelia's movement and tried to grab her arm while he was still in the air, falling towards the ground.
But her speed was higher than his, even if by a small difference, it was still enough for Amelia to be able to hit Lucien's shoulder with the hilt of one of her swords.
Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion for Lucien and Amelia, who forced their bodies and senses to the limit quickly.
As soon as the handle of the sword touched Lucien's body, the blue light that sparkled on Amelia's body ran towards him along with all the force she put in the strike.
Lucien's senses were even more incredible than the speed of his body, so he could clearly see the blue energy flowing from Amelia's body to his through her sword.
The energy spread through his body in a few hundredths of a second and pushed him back.
*Thud*
Lucien heard the sound of the impact before being thrown several meters into the air.
He fell fifty meters from Amelia and rolled on the ground for another ten meters before he managed to regain his balance and stop. Lust returned into his body again.
Although Amelia controlled her energy so that her force spread over Lucien's body, thus avoiding piercing his shoulder with the sword hilt, he still suffered some internal damage.
Lucien spit some blood on the ground as he heard Lust's voice in his mind. 'You knew it would happen.'
'I wanted to test my limit before using that.' He replied.
'Don't hold yourself back.' Lust spoke in a confident tone.
Lucien stood up, stretched his arms and legs to get rid off of the numbness, and looked at Amelia. ”You're still as fantastic as always, sis.”
Amelia tried to contain her surprised expression. ”You have successfully reached the Mortal Realm. Congratulations, brother.”
Reaching the Mortal Realm was the least expected of Lucien after making the soul contract with a great demon, even if it was Lust, the supposedly least talented sin.
Still, he did it very quickly, and now, supposedly in the first layer of Mortal Realm, he was almost as swift as Amelia, which surprised her and Envy a lot.
”Take your weapon. I'll not go easy on you.” Amelia swirled her swords as the blue energy started to sparkle around her body.
It is a skill that Amelia copied from a Light Empire mage with Envy's ability, copy. She could infuse electric mana in her attacks and improve her speed for a few seconds.
Of course, just like Lucien. Amelia's ability to use Envy's abilities is limited to how much demonic energy she has. Unfortunately copy also has other limits, such as only being able to use the copied ability several times.
Also, she wouldn't be able to use copy on the same ability until she used up all of the copied abilities uses, in addition, the cost of demonic energy rises with each use of the copied abilities till the uses run out.
So, like Lucien, Amelia and their sisters will be improving the great demons prime abilities as they increase the quantity and quality of the demonic energy they possess and produce.
Lucien summoned his red katana again, which like Lust and his demonic energy, couldn't be too far from him.
He again stabbed the katana in the ground while smiling at Amelia. ”Okay, I'm not going easy on you either.”
Then he started using his new trump card. Like Lust manipulated demonic energy in her body, Lucien began to create a purple haze around him while using his demonic energy to boost his physical capabilities significantly.
