Chapter 857: The Sword

Chapter 857: The Sword

The entire atmosphere changed. The warm room turned bone chilling cold. A strange kind of energy filled the entire body of Lucifer like nothing before.

All the energy cores of Lucifer were in overload, drawing out an excessive amount of energies that weren’t generally permitted. It was impossible for anyone to survive after entering overdrive. That’s why it was also called a suicide mode which people rarely used.

Lucifer had a different idea in his mind as he used overdrive. He wasn’t entirely confident that he was going to be perfectly fine after this. Even if he survived, he wasn’t going to be in any reasonable condition. However, even that was worth it. To defeat Licorice, he needed to break the mortal bonds of his abilities, even if it was only for a minute.

His abilities were already top tier, and overdrive boosted them even more, making him stronger.

He grabbed the sword of Licorice in his bare hands when it was just a few inches away from his neck. At the same time, he kicked the chin of Licorice, sending him flying.

His body floated up as he stood. His eyes shone in a mysterious dark light which was a sign of overdrive. The dark eyes made him seem even better. It was as if time was moving exceptionally slowly for him.

Licorice also controlled his body mid-air, landing on the ground.

The entire surrounding changed around Licorice. His body, which was standing over twenty meters away from Lucifer, was now just a few meters away from him. He was brought ahead without his control.

Lucifer grabbed the neck of Licorice, who did the same in return. Both men grabbed each other’s necks as they flew straight into the nearby wall. Thrashing the wall, they both ended up in a different room altogether.

Thousands of swords appeared behind Lucifer, shooting straight toward them. As the sword reached them, Lucifer disappeared and appeared in the distance.

All the swords kept thrashing Licorice, one after another, on the same spot. At the same time, Lucifer had once again used the time restraint, which he was able to use because of his overdrive.

He only had twenty seconds of overdrive left, but those twenty seconds were most crucial since those were the last twenty seconds he was going to have. If he couldn’t kill Licorice in these twenty seconds, it was impossible. He needed to break that awful defense of Licorice in those twenty seconds.

All the swords kept attacking the same point on the chest of Licorice. One after another, thousands of swords hit the man, who couldn’t even resist due to being trapped in time.

All Licorice could do was glare at Lucifer.

Despite his overbearing strength, the swords still weren’t able to break through the defense of the man. Not even a scratch was made. Instead, it seemed more as if Licorice’s defense had improved!

Lucifer called forth his sword once again, this time holding onto his own hands as he shot straight towards Licorice. He placed all his strength behind this one attack. Only five seconds were left in his overbearing strength. He placed as much strength as he could to begin this attack.

The lightning sword was surrounded by spatial energy and sharp winds to make it even stronger.

Boom~

A loud explosion took place as the crash occurred. Dust and smoke spread everywhere. The impact was so strong that even the body of the white-robed Lucifer was pushed back along with the Dungeon Crystal!

Even through the dust, Lucifer could see very clearly. Pieces of dark lighting flew all around him, some even slicing his own cheeks. A look of disbelief surrounded his face as he held onto the half shattered sword. Meanwhile, the chest of Licorice was still intact, without as much a scratch.

Only one second was left in his overdrive, and that one second was gone as well.

“Arghhhh!” Lucifer roared in pain as his weak body dropped to the ground, lifeless.

Licorice was free from the time restraint as Lucifer dropped to the ground. Lucifer roared in terrifying pain like he never felt before. His own skin had started disintegrating, bit by bit. Despite having a stronger body than the rest, along with his healing, the effect of Overdrive was a bit too much for him since it boosted all his cores which overwhelmed even his own body.

Licorice landed on the ground, observing his chest. He patted his chest gently before looking down at Lucifer. “In your quest to destroy me, you destroyed yourself.”

“I feel bad for you. I want to end your pain right this instant by killing you, but then again, you troubled me so much. I think you deserve this pain. I’ll let you die on your own. Until then, you can watch me free us!” he added as he noticed the white robed Lucifer coming to his senses in the distance. He went to that Lucifer and helped him up.

“Are you alright?” he inquired.

“Is it over?” The white robed Lucifer asked, only to stop as he heard the scream of the other Lucifer.

“Ignore him. We’re almost done. We just need to finish the last step,” Licorice let out, smiling.

He grabbed the wrist of the white robed Lucifer before looking for the crystal.

“There it is,” he let out, stepped towards the crystal which was lying in another corner of the room.

The screams of Lucifer were like a melody to his ears as his screams kept getting intense. For a moment, he even wondered if Lucifer was going to survive to watch them be free.

He picked up the crystal with his left hand while holding onto Lucifer with his right.

He started drawing the power from Lucifer to use it to destroy the core. The amount of energy needed was just too immense. Fortunately, he wasn’t using his own.

Salazar picked up the sword that Lucifer was looking for. It was a sword covered in dust that didn’t look anything special at all. It didn’t even have an edge. Holding the sword in his hand, Salazar didn’t feel any special.

He couldn’t understand why Lucifer was looking for this cheap feeling sword.

“I can’t judge him. Since he was looking for it and Zale carried it despite not being a swordsman, there must be something special in this sword. Only he can know though. I should get this sword to him.”

“But her…” he glanced at Milena, letting out a deep sigh. “Can I leave her alone?”

“What can I even do by staying here? We can’t leave this Dungeon. If this sword can help Lucifer, then it should be worth it!”
