Chapter 863: Rest in peace

Even the strongest of Warriors couldn't face the onslaught of level Six Beasts. The morale was as low as it could be. They had only heard about the last great war and the strength of the beasts in those wars, and these beasts were nowhere close to them. They were multiple leagues above!

In fact, it looked less like a battle and more like a suicide mission to fight the beasts. Many of the Warlocks actually ran away in fear, abandoning their posts.

Even the ones who stayed to fight had given up on Victory. Only a miracle could save them. They had accepted.

It was at that point that everything changed. The darkness disappeared, and light appeared in their life as Lightning Dragons came, fighting the Dungeon Dwellers.

Even the Dungeon Dwellers couldn't believe what was happening. Just where did these Dragons come from? How were they so strong!

The level Six Beasts fought intensely against the Dragons, giving a really tough fight, but even they couldn't win. Even as they destroyed a lightning dragon, another Dragon came from the sky, taking its place. It was only now these beasts knew what it felt like to fight enemies that didn't end! It was what humans used to feel against the Dungeon Dwellers.

The humans sighed a breath of relief, but they remained alert and didn't lower their guards. Even though the Dragons were fighting their enemies, they couldn't be sure that the Dragons were on their side and weren't going to attack them when they finished the Dungeon Dwellers.

Fortunately, after the Dragons killed all the Dungeon Dwellers, they didn't stay here and left, disappearing into the sky!

"Stop destroying everything! Stop destroying more Baltics! They already had their homes destroyed by that man! Please don't do the same thing by using his strength! If you're truly brave, fight me without these restrictions!" Licorice roared, realizing what was happening on the ground. He could feel his people dying.

Even after being free from the Dungeon, he was still under restrictions. He couldn't believe it. It was all coincidence the energy source ended up with someone who could use the Time Control. He could still get out of the restrictions, especially since some of his body wasn't in time restrictions, but it was still very time consuming, and at the rate, Lucifer was killing his beast, he couldn't afford the time.

Having no other choice, he decided to do something unthinkable. He used his mental connection with the Baltics and commanded all those who could fly to stop whenever they were doing and to attack Lucifer. A little distracted was what he needed to free himself and to use defense to make sure he wasn't trapped in the time restrictions again.

At the same time, he tried to keep Lucifer distracted.

"Your body is seventy percent destroyed. And it's not normal destruction! Even if you have healing, you can't recover what has been destroyed! Try to understand. If your heart is destroyed by this energy, it won't ever return, no matter what you do! Save as much of your body as you can! Let me help you!" Licorice stated.

"I promise if we work together, I can help you, and I will also stop my people from attacking. We would leave this world for you! Why do you want to die for people like us? It doesn't benefit anyone! Live your life, and let us live ours! We won't interfere in each other's way. What do you say?"

Having no other options but to distract Lucifer, even an arrogant person like Licorice talked about working together with Lucifer, accepting defeat.

"You are a really good actor, but I'm not an idiot like the other Lucifer," Lucifer stated. "I can see when you're lying, and I can also see why."

"That's the benefit of this strength. This immense strength lets me do anything I couldn't do before. Want to see?" He inquired.

Screech~ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ.

As Lucifer finished, something flew past him.

His body split into two halves. The second half started falling, but the first half stayed in the air.

A giant eagle with sharp as blade wings came into sight in the distance, turning off its invisibility.

Despite being sliced into two halves, the calm look on his face regained. The second half of his body flew up, joining with the first half once again as if nothing happened.

"You were right. I can't heal the damage of this strength," he muttered, noticing the dark skin of his. "However, except that, I can do anything as long as I have this strength. I'm a god!"

He raised his palm towards the eagle and clenched his fist.

Screech~

A painful screech of the eagle came out as his body was crushed. The body was swallowed by a portal and disappeared forever.

"I suppose there are more?" he let out as he turned around. "You aren't the only one with an army though."

More and more lightning Dragons came down from the sky and started circling around Lucifer.

"If I weren't lacking time, I would've loved to finish them myself and take my sweet time," he muttered, shaking his head. "Albeit, I can only let the Dragons handle them. It's faster."

The Dragons shot toward the flying beasts, even finding the invisible ones without any trouble.

Lucifer flew towards Licorice. "For the same reason, I also can't fight you properly. I don't have time. You can call me a coward if you want. I have the energy, but I don't have a body that can last long. So for my good, I need to kill you fast, even though it seems a bit anticlimactic. I hope you won't mind."

Licorice didn't know if Lucifer was serious or mocking him the way he was talking to him like a child, but he didn't like him getting close.

He started trying to resist, but the time restraints were too strong since they were backed by the strength that could even shatter the level seven Dungeon cores, which itself was strong enough to hold Licorice for so long.

Lucifer placed his hand on the head of Licorice. "Rest in peace."

Not only was time stronger with this new Lucifer, but even decay wasn't any different. Within a few seconds, half the body of Licorice was destroyed.

With his other hand, Lucifer stabbed his hand in the chest of Lucifer. He pulled out the heart of Licorice and tossed it into his spatial dimensions, casting a restriction on it so no healing could bring Back Licorice

Even as his body was destroyed, Licorice didn't scream in pain. He just looked in the eyes of Lucifer. "You're just as big a monster as that man. In one world, two monsters like you can't live. There will come a day when you two will have to face each other. And I hope both of you die that day, but if One of to survives, I hope it's you."
