Chapter 255 - CH. 259: The Duel (III)
Asahi stopped his merciless beating and shook the blood off his hand. Euclid's handsome face swelled up like a red balloon. His cowering eyes pleaded Lord Lucifuge for help. Lord Lucifuge shifted his attention to Lucifer. The black-haired devil's face distorted as the surge of his demonic power enveloped him in a black aura.
"Don't be rash," Lilith said and patted his back.??
Lucifer slapped her hand away.
Asahi tossed Euclid and turned to Lucifer. He analyzed his foe with his glasses.

His stats were off the roof, as expected of the King of the Underworld. To think the Great Lucifer's Demonic Magic skill was lower than Euclid. Asahi expected him to have some super crazy abilities like his son Rizevim could nullify sacred gears.
'I'll need to use some spells.'
His dream of beating Lucifer without Diva's powers won't come to fruition. Well, if he had to use Diva's powers, he might as well make it flashy, so these arrogant devils never underestimate someone again.
(Go go, my husband!)
Klyscha's cheer made him smile. He beckoned Lucifer. "Let's do it, Devil King-sama. Surely you won't bow out of your promise."
Silent gazes fell on the Devil King Lucifer. He stood up from his seat, his black eyes peering down at Asahi.
"If death is what you desire. I shall give you."
He hopped off the balcony and landed on the square platform with his devil wings. He thrust his hand and prepared a burst of demonic power to finish his opponent.
Asahi enchanted his body with Ride Lightning. Brilliant sparks erupted as lightning surrounded him, quivering through each muscle.
Blazing Wings for flight.
Demonic strength for +50 strength and dexterity.
And lastly, Valiant Flash, Beleth's level 1 spell to improve his attack speed by 150%.
A pair of holy fire spread on his back. Streaks of lightning flowed through him, and a demonic black aura flickered around him.
Asahi's mysterious visage enchanted and terrified everyone.
Lucifer's hands froze in the air. But for a different reason. Phoenix's fire. He couldn't believe his eyes. The arrogant human was a Phenex clan's descendant.
"Lord Lucifer, you are mistaken. Those are not our flames," Lord Phenex clarified from the crowd.
Lucifer enhanced his aura. Cracks stretched on the floor, and numerous holes appeared. Asahi felt the torrent of demonic power flooding the area.
"Perish, human."
Lucifer announced as a black beam came forth and punctured through Asahi's chest.
Lucifer smirked. "Weakling—"
Asahi's afterimage vanished with a spark. A hand touched Lucifer's shoulder, numbing his mind. He burst forward with his wings and quickly turned. Asahi was there, with a bright smile.
"Slow."
Asahi's words struck Lucifer's mind, diminishing the aura around him. Asahi pounced forward. The distance between them disappeared in an instant.
In another moment, Asahi's fist was already in Lucifer's face. The devil king couldn't block in time.
*Boom!*
A powerful wave traveled through Lucifer. Before he knew it, his back smashed into the magic barriers.
The crowd only saw Asahi disappearing and Lucifer flying into the invisible barrier. In their heightened state of tension, they directed their gazes to Asahi, the man who just blew the Devil King with a punch.
Unlike the panicking crowd, Lucifer found the world spinning. The holy properties of Phenex fire burned a chunk of his face while the freakish power behind the punch shook his brain. For the first time, someone other than his archenemy, Biblical God managed to wound him.
"This son of a whore."
Lucifer firmly locked his eyes on Asahi and gritted his teeth. His demonic power already stitched the wound. Lucifer charged two black orbs and hurled them at Asahi.
Storm Fort—Baal's Level 3 spell.
Violent gusts surrounded Asahi. The orbs with compressed demonic power chipped away at the wind barrier. The mini tornado swallowed the demonic power.
Lucifer had to admit the variety in his foe's arsenal. Could his magic power keep up with the demands? Humans were known for their low magic power reserves… but Lucifer couldn't classify this terrifying man as human. Not after he sent him flying with a punch.
Asahi remained in his position. "Is this all Great Lucifer can do?"
"Get him!" Lilith cheered for her husband. "Show him your true power!"
Asahi grinned. "Don't be a pussy before your wife."
His expression crumbled when Gabriel asked Sandalphon about pussy.
'Fuck. I forgot my innocent Gabriel is here. I shouldn't be too vicious before her.'
"Let's finish this."
Asahi brought his weapon to provoke Beelzebub of the Underworld.
"King of Flies."
The imposing figure of Baal materialized behind him. His majestic golden aura sent a powerful shiver down Lord Beelzebub's spine.
"It's been a while, My King."
"Good to see, old man. How's your host?"
Baal crossed his arms on his chest. "Albeit a bit perverted, she is a good kid… My King, do you want to unleash my strongest spell on this devil?"
"Yup. Suck his magic power dry."
Asahi let his mana run wild and poured everything into Baal. It was his first time casting a Level 10 spell. The enormous mana shut down everyone in the coliseum. They forgot to breathe as though something was stuck in their chest.
An ominous black dyed Baal as he revealed his true nature. The Demon King of Hell dispersed into fragments filled with magic power. The countless black fragments gave birth to an equal amount of massive black flies.
The swarm of giant flies buzzed, raising a clamour in the coliseum. Even the devil kings took a step back from the flies.
Beelzebub forgot to notice the wet puddle underneath his legs.
Lucifer formulated numerous magic circles and fired black beams at the flies. The swarm was just too much. One after another, the flies clung to his body. Lucifer was buried beneath the mass of black flies.
"Lucifer!"
Lilith flew down the balcony and sent bursts of magic power at Lucifer. She also could do nothing in the face of insurmountable odds.
"D-Dear God, what kind of abomination is he?" Azazel couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
"Believe it or not, he is my successor."
"What about Michael?"
"He wasn't up to the task… Asahi fulfills the role better than him."
"Are you planning on taking over the world, old man?"
Biblical God revealed a mysterious smile. The same one he showed when he brought down the terrifying calamities on the land.
"Maybe."
Azazel sighed and looked down on the Great Lucifer now freed from the swarm of flies. He was unconscious, his clothes torn at multiple places. No demonic power could be felt from him. Lilith cried as she called out to her husband. The fallen angel governor couldn't help but pity the Devil King for crossing paths with the wrong man.
Despite summoning such a massive spell, there was no fluctuation in Asahi's aura. Completely stable if nothing else.
"Heaven's position will skyrocket in the supernatural world…" Azazel muttered.
