Chapter 243 – The Devil from the Abyss 4 (1/2)
Lilith responded coldly without looking back,
“It’s because he’s more valuable than you.”
Her white hand stroked Woohyuk’s chaotic demonic power.
Then, like a lie, his demonic powers calmed down. Woohyuk’s fingers started twitching and then moving.
“Ugh…”
“Wait a minute. Be calm. This elder sister will make you even stronger,” she said in a soothing voice.
Lilith knew that Woohyuk would fall into a comatose state if he released another of Verserios’ seals.
Nevertheless, she suggested that he take that action so that she could help him directly, as she was doing right now.
Since the Creator had started his intervention on this world, she had to make sure that Woohyuk grew to become the next Demon Lord as soon as possible.
Sa~Ak!
Verserios’ demonic powers/mana started to be steadily absorbed into Woohyuk’s body.
Seeing this, Lucifer gritted his teeth and lunged at Lilith.
“Do you think it’ll be so easy to exact your will!” he shouted out.
“Aleister, stop him,” she calmly ordered.
Lilith gave an order to Aleister without even looking at Lucifer.
A black shadow soon appeared and blocked Lucifer from moving closer.
“Yes, Lilith. I will drag as much time as possible,” Aleister dutifully replied.
“Get out of my way you worthless minion!” Lucifer yelled as he frowned.
He quickly drew his Flamesword and slashed at Aleister.
However, Aleister, who turned into a black shadow, lightly avoided the blow and immediately counterattacked.
Hwi-Eek!
A black gust of wind, with various waves of wind as sharp as a blade’s edge, raged toward Lucifer from all directions, not allowing Lucifer to move forward.
Frustrated by Aleister’s attack and the dragging on of time, Lucifer cast Sea of Ice. A large wave of ice appeared and shot towards Aleister.
Swa-Ah!
He was planning to approach Lilith by pushing Aleister away with waves of blue, icy flames.
However, Aleister understood his intention and brought out Lilith’s Unholy Grail.
Once he dropped Lilith’s Unholy Grail into the Sea of Ice…
Saa~!
The numerous bluish ice flames turned black and began to move under Aleister’s control.
As a result, the waves that were coming to him suddenly changed direction and struck Lucifer in reverse.
Rumble!
Lucifer’s hurriedly cast his defensive barrier, which burned violently with black flame.
While trying to quickly resolve the situation and approach Lilith, Lucifer had been counterattacked.
In the meantime, Lilith continued to inject Verserios’ demonic power/mana into Woohyuk.
After finishing her work, Lilith winked at Woohyuk.
Woohyuk instantly felt goosebumps form all over his body.
‘An ancestor of modern humans is hitting on me…’
Of course, he himself was the archangel Rafael in his previous life, but he still wasn’t very happy with the current situation.
When Lilith left, Woohyuk slowly moved his body to get up.
‘Fortunately, there are no movement restrictions.’
Perhaps, thanks to the absorption of Verserios’ power/mana, his inner wounds while fighting Lucifer were completely restored.
There were no signs of his demonic powers running rampant once more.
Woohyuk grabbed and lifted Verserios, which changed its shape into a great sword, with both hands.
‘I have to finish what I started.’
He had to eliminate Lucifer and Mammon once and for all.
When Woohyuk flew into the fray, Aleister, who was blocking Lucifer at every turn, stepped away.
“We’ve used plenty of seasoning, so cook well, Lilith’s blessed one,” Aleister stated.
“…”
At the moment, hearing his absurd comment, Woohyuk felt a deep urge to cut down Aleister first, but he endured.
Later, when Woohyuk wielded Verserios and attacked, Lucifer came forward to match the blow without hesitation.
Kwa-Ang!
With a roar, the greatswords on both sides struck. Lucifer was slightly push back.
“Keuk…!”
Woohyuk had become stronger than before.
Woohyuk no longer vomited fresh blood from his mouth after a clash, nor did he feel any bone-crushing pain throughout his body.
‘This should be enough.’
There was no reason for him to be at a disadvantage if he used his skills and abilities properly.
Woohyuk sharpened his battle sense and gradually overpowered Lucifer.
“Keuk… hey, Mammon! What are you doing! Are you having a hard time because of the trash Demon Kings?” Lucifer shouted out in frustration.
“Shut up, Lucifer! I’ve been dealing with the rest of the guys up to now,” Mammon huffed.
In addition to the Demon Kings, Mammon was holding back Lilith’s followers and the abyssal demons.
When Lucifer was grinding his teeth,
“Time to die, Lucifer,” Woohyuk said as he broke into a gap and swung Verserios.
At the same time, he expanded Asura’s absolute space to cover the surroundings.
Lucifer foresaw that his end was imminent.
‘I may have bitten off more than I can chew.’
From some point onward, Lucifer began to act only for his own selfish reasons, not for a higher cause.
After falling into the depths of the abyss, his body and mind were corrupted.
In that sense, Woohyuk still maintained consistency even though he inherited the previous Demon Lord’s demonic powers. Lucifer couldn’t help but applaud Woohyuk’s amazing consistency.
‘Make sure you achieve the objective this time, Rafael.’
He prayed that another selfish, evil being like himself would never appear again in this world once the Odyssey Plan was completed.
while wishing for Woohyuk’s success in his heart, Lucifer closed his eyes.
Pu-Wook!
Verserios’ black flames raged around the blade as Lucifer’s heart was pierced.
At the same time, Lucifer scattered into ashes and lost shape.
With his death, a series of system messages came into Woohyuk’s mind.
[You have defeated the ancient devil Lucifer.]
[You have acquired the Frost Ring of Ice.]
[Abyssal Demon Quest Progress: 2/3]
As expected, Lucifer gave him the ice attribute ability through an artifact.
