Chapter 431: Mess

Standing on top of a distant building, Lucifer glanced towards Salazar. 

As he was out of Salazar's range, which was intentionally kept low by him, Lucifer was able to see everything happening at natural speed. 

He could see the Nobles moving extremely slowly while Salazar moved normally. 

....

"You guys are slightly faster than ordinary humans. Even in my domain, you can move fast," Salazar commented, appearing near the first Noble. 

He sliced the neck of the Noble before moving over to the next Noble. He avoided an extremely slow energy ball that was fired at him. 

As Salazar dodged the energy ball, it landed on the Noble he had just killed, blowing up his head. 

He stabbed his golden knife in the chest of the Noble who had attacked, before slicing his neck, he kicked the chest of the Nobles, moving over to the next Noble. 

For Salazar, everything was extremely slow, which gave him an immense advantage. On the other hand, everything was extremely fast for the Nobles. 

They were already extremely fast, but their speed seemed like nothing in front of Salazar. 

All they saw was a blur. No attacks of theirs landed on Salazar, who was like a shadow, moving like lightning. 

Two nobles were already dead, leaving the third alone. 

The third noble was soon killed as Salazar appeared behind the third noble, slicing his throat. 

After the four Nobles were killed, Salazar removed his domain, smirking. 

"Hmm? What's that?"

As he removed his Domain, he noticed something strange. He had sliced the throat of two Nobles, but the wounds were healing now. Only the first Noble wasn't healing whose head was blown up. 

"This is interesting. They can also heal?" Salazar exclaimed, surprised. "I thought only Lucifer had this ability?"

As he was observing the two Nobles, one of them opened his eyes. 

The dark-haired Noble stood up. His white robe was already covered in blood as his chest was stabbed. "You shouldn't have done that."

"Now you'll regret it," he added as a blue fire started burning all around his body. The man seemed to have become a being made purely of blue fire. 

The second Noble also stood up. His throat was completely healed. He also turned into a being of flames. His flames were slightly different though. His flames were black.

"Is that a Noble-only power? Why do you have the same power?" Salazar asked, intrigued. He couldn't help but wonder about it. 

"It's because we're twins, not because we're both Nobles," The man with black Flames answered.

"You don't have to answer him. Just kill him," the Blue-Flamed being answered. 

A massive wave of blue flames flew towards Salazar, intending to burn him.

Salazar again cast his Domain, slowing down everything. 

"This whole thing became a mess. They can heal. But the first guy didn't heal. Maybe their healing is actually a different healing? If I take their head off, that should be enough to take them out," Salazar thought, watching the flames slowly come towards him. 

...

Standing on the building, even Lucifer was surprised. Could nobles heal to this extent too? This was something that wasn't in their record. 

"Their healing is weaker than mine. They can't regrow limbs, it seems. And if their heads are taken off, they die. Their healing isn't threatening, but what it implies is certainly worth thinking about."

"They received the healing from Milena after she turned them. But they would certainly mean that her healing is stronger. Could it be similar to mine?"

Many questions arose in his head as he watched the battle of Salazar. 

He didn't intervene in the battle though. If he did, he was also going to be affected by the Time Domain. Instead, he left everything on Salazar, trusting him. 

Salazar avoided the blue flames, running sideways. He wanted to find a weak spot from where he could get close to the enemies without burning to cinders. 

Unfortunately, he didn't have any openings as black flames also started spreading out. It was as if a tsunami of fire was coming in every direction. 

Salazar tossed the golden knife, aiming at the neck of one of the Nobles, but the blade passed through as if the two beings didn't have any flesh. 

"He's in pure flame form. I'm certainly useless against them like this. I need help," Salazar muttered, frowning.

He knew that he could only wound someone physically, but none of the two had a physical form. At the same time, he could only use his other ability on one of them, but there were two. So it was also useless. 

Frowning, he looked in the direction of Lucifer. 

Lucifer noticed Salazar looking for help. It looked like he was defeated 

Without waiting, Lucifer started flying towards Salazar. 

Salazar kept decreasing the range of his domain slowly so that Lucifer wouldn't be affected by it. 

Ultimately, Salazar fully retracted his domain, keeping it within two-meter range of him, slowing down the flames for as long as he could. 

"You should've thought about it twice before attacking. Now you can die and enjoy life in hell since nothing but ashes will be left of you. "The blue-flamed Noble said, grinning. 

"You have no path of escape. No matter how much you slow or flames, they're everywhere. They'll soon get you, and you can't avoid them. Not even God can help you now." The Dark-Flamed Noble agreed, smiling 

"I don't need any god to help me. Just one Demon is enough," Salazar answered, smiling. 

As soon as he finished, the two Nobles watched Salazar fly up, avoiding the Flames. 

They looked up, noticing another man in the sky. A man who donned a Dark Cloak was standing in the air, looking down at the two Nobles. 

"They have healing. Be careful," Salazar Informed Lucifer, who had just entered. 

"You bastard! You dared to wear a Black Cloak! Blasphemy! Only our queen can wear that!" The two Nobles became upset, but mostly because of the Cloak of Lucifer. They stopped the flame tsunami. 

"I don't think you'll be here for too long to worry about my attire," Lucifer responded, landing on the ground before them. 

Salazar also landed behind him. Lucifer gestured for him to leave, and Salazar listened, giving enough space to Lucifer. 

In the meantime, he brought the gun again, changing the magazine. 

He fired the gun near the feet of his enemies. As the bullet landed, an energy barrier formed around them, engulfing even Lucifer inside it. 

Only Salazar was outside the barrier. It was a barrier that couldn't be broken from the inside, according to what he had heard.
