------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucifer PoV
Well, I must say, those three hits actually hurt. I’m most surprised about the demon female he brought. I thought she would go off to destroy my castle but she came after me with a rather painful attack. It was even able to cut my skin and leave an X shaped cut on my chest.
After my little exchange with the three, I was a little pissed at how I actually felt those blows. The blast from my bastard son was aimed directly at my newly formed horn with intent to destroy it while the other was aimed into my ear to try to get an easier access into my head and kill me in one shot. The goddess’s blow was probably what hurt the most of the three hits. She hit right on my forehead at the connection between the horns and head. It seems there was an unanimous dicition to break my new horn.
That kind of irked me the wrong way because I just finished making this horn at the expense of nearly half my world and losing a tremendous amount of followers. To say I wasn’t even a little annoyed at these three would be an understatement wasn’t a lie but my anger didn’t even reach the magnitude the three were releasing.
Wait. Four children... oh! I get it, the demon woman must be a mother to some of the children. So he had more than one. Interesting. Let's get rid of her first and make him suffer a bit.
Lucifer: Is your warm up done brats.
I released the intensity of my power as I began to transform. Normally anyone feeling this would drop like flies from the pressure but the three didn’t even flinch at the power.
Lily: We ask you the same thing.
The next moment the three of them released their full power as well. It felt like three hammers falling over the entire region. A power so full of killing intent it brought old memories of the wars. This feeling was something I had only felt 2000 years ago and even Vil’crI couldn’t do this.
The body of the boy was slowly swallowed by white flames that spread from his wings. His body grow longer as he entered his demon form. The Goddess grew 8 long black wings just as long as the boys white wings. They were large but by no means would they become liabilities for people of that hold so much power.
The last one was the demon female. She turned into a divine tengu with wings about a third smaller than the other two but held the same amount of presence as them.
I myself changed becoming the same divine imp that has ruled with an iron fist. The X cut the demon female left had healed but when I looked a large scar was in its place and it wasn’t vanishing.
Lily: Do you like it. The cut wasn’t a normal one. These sickles were once a demon weapon of some other demon but I was given them and they soon became my own. The cut was their unique skill.
I frowned a bit. Such a nuisance skill. Though it made sense now why the three hits hurt so much. They were their weapons skills. If they hurt that bad without transforming I had better watch it now. I coat my body with mana getting ready to battle. I kept my eyes on the three of them. The moment I blinked they were gone presence and all.

A moment later I had a huge hammer fly at my face with disgustingly huge amount of force throwing me far and pushing me good 20 meters underground.
Bang bang bang bang bang
Baal: “With the rise and fall of the world. Fires shall rise. Bring forth the flames of the apocalypse and smith those unworthy of live” [Death Gods Smite]
A sudden flash from above and a I was suddenly surrounded by the most painful flames I had felt in my life. From the pain I felt rage and with a burst of my own flames, I pushed the flames aside and destroyed the spell.
I breathed out a deep sigh as my eyes grow a bit blood shot from the anger. I look up and see a broken magic circle above me as it vanishes. I spread my wings and with one flap I vanish from my spot to appear in front of this infernal son of mine with my fist buried in his gut.
Lucifer: Don’t get conceited brat!
My punch sends him flying back over the castle where he stops slightly bent over before he rights himself.
Baal: You should try better. Also attacking living fire like me as I am will only hurt.
It took a moment for me to realize what it meant. I looked down at my fist and see it burnt.
Lucifer: So hitting him directly will hurt me. But I don’t need to touch him directly.
I gather mana in my hand and mix it with miasma turning my fist black.
I turned around and found the female demon. With a single flap of my wings, I was in front of her with my fist already approaching her face to kill her.
What I met was air as she vanished a moment before I made contact. The next thing I feel is my arms being cut several times and a burning fist connecting with my face.
I was seriously getting pissed. When I looked back I saw the girl hadn’t dodged but was saved by the goddess who was holding twin long daggers which were what cut me. In the place I flying the brat was there with his fist extended.
My anger was getting the best of me and I covered my body in a mana coat mixed with dense miasma. I looked at the three who were close together.
Veins appeared on my head. With a single flap, I was in front of all of them and it even made them flinch at the speed. I vanished again as I began pummelling them from all sides without giving them time to act. The final punch I landed on my son sent him flying into the ground. The same with the goddess but the brat demon female I lifted both hands in a fist and swung down on her head. Her entire body bends in an arc following her head and she flys straight down head first into the ground.
Pathetic. Is this really their bet. Does it take me going a bit serious and they already die off on me.
*spit blood*
Lucifer: Pathetic.
I wait but none of them come out.
I look to the south where I feel six powerful lives approaching.
Lucifer: So reinforcements are arriving...Six reinforcements and my fucking wife.
Baal: Don’t insult her.
When I look back I see the barrels of his guns glowing in my face.
Baal: My mother will always be better than you.
BOOM BOOM
Valeria PoV
I’m worried. The earthquakes are getting more intense by the minute. What am I worried about. My daughter for one, Baal and Lily second. The last reason is that I won’t be able to completely destroy that fucking bastard with my own hands.

As we get closer I notice several moving life signs nearby heading the same way. It numbered 11 people, all of which had powerful presences which they were trying to hide.
Lia: Seems we are getting more reinforcements.
Valeria: Do you know them?
Lia: Only one, the others were divine demons in hiding. We will need as much power as we can get to fight Lucifer.
I looked back and see the serious face with a scowl on her beautiful face.
As we approach the life signs move in closer and soon we begin to group up. If compared with a human, most of them looked in their mid forties and wore oldish clothes but the way each of them held themselves showed they were no ordinary demons.
???: Greetings gods. It has been such a long time. I never imagined I would work with one.
Valeria: Get used to it, my daughter and her husband are making a kingdom for demons in the mortal world and here as well.
???: Ho the young prince has already gotten that far.
Lia: Sirs and madams please we must focus at the problem at hand. There wont be a kingdom if the new king dies. We will finally end Lucifer today all of us.
With that said we sped up. Soon all the life signs I sensed met up and I finally met the Succubus queen that trained Lilian here in the underworld.
As we reach the castle we find it burning in flames and we can hear the sounds of battle. Looking down we see the elites excluding Lily and the zodiac leaders running wild.
Lilith: I feel Lilians mana over in that direction.
Valeria: Baal and Lily as well.
Lia: Let's move then.
We all fly as fast as possible. The fight had been pushed far from the castle due to the recoil of the warm up that the 4 had before going all out.
When we neared the fight we saw massive damage to the forest surrounding the castle.
When we arrived we saw Lucifer fighting with Baal but the two girls we felt were underground and not moving. The next moment Lucifer vanished and appeared behind Baal with his hands connected in a big ball and hitting the back of his head sending him crashing into the ground unconscious.
Lucifer: So, reinforcements finally arrived. I had counted 7 before but the number rose. Hmm...Leaders of the vampires, werewolf, succubus and so many others. All here to back this brat up. Not only that, I get to meet the six greater gods of the elements. Its my honor.
He spoke in a sarcastic tone. We all frowned.
Lucifer: I see, There is no need for us to talk. Come all of you at once. I shall wipe your kind of this world once I finish absorbing all the divinity from your cold dead corpses.
Baal PoV
This pain in my head. Man I feel faint. What happened, I remember firing off my cannon shot and then I turned Soul into sickles started close combat fighting with him. The next moment, I saw mother, Valeria and other gods with demons I never saw before approaching before I saw the ground and blacked out.
He must have gotten me from behind.
With some strength I had regained I dig myself out of the ground I was stuck in and turn around. A long tunnel had formed from where I passed.
I turn to my demon form and let my natural ability to regenerate my health at super fast speeds take over.
As my head cleared up I crawled back out with my aching head that didn’t seem to want to cure itself.
As I broke out of the hole I see something that was the biggest nightmare I had in my life.
Lucifer: You sure took your time. I wiped the floor with that fodder that came as reinforcements. I was just wondering what I should do with these two bitches.
In both his hands he held an unconscious Lily and Lilian.
My arms went limp as I felt all emotions inside me die.
He took notice as well. Without warning wave of simple pure rage washed over me and was released as a simple but devastating killing intent. It held so much force that plant life to close dried up and turned to ash simply from the pressure.
The red skinned demon turned pale as he felt the pressure. His body had frozen up and he dropped the two women I hold dear. In my left hand I barely notice as the gun dropped but the one in my right hand was firm in its grip. My wings spread and slowly I ascend up into the air.
Six spell bullets from inside the chamber. A combination I never thought I would use again but seeing the two women I loved almost dead was an even more dreaded nightmare then this.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
I shop five of the spell bullets out into place. And looked down at the frozen demon.
Baal: You shall die the most horrible death that exists for one who consumes others powers to gain it for themselves.
Bang
The last massive circle appeared just below his feet. At the moment no one but I, noticed that one of the gods was awake and as soon as Lucifer became frozen with the concentrated pressure over him he moved quickly and removed everyone that would get caught in the way of the spell.
“The Black Flames of hell. The Raging Flames of man. The Wrath of the Flames that Consume Man, Beast and Demon. Flare up and Consume one more.” [Nightmare Inferno]
At my call the flames erupted with such anger that it could be thought that my own anger was being transmitted into the spell.
The pillar of flames did nothing to him but as it settled down it began to take form. Humans, Beasts, Demons. All made with brightly glowing blue flames. These flames were definitely stronger than the ones I first summoned against the Silverback.
These were true Holy Blue flames of Gluttony from the deepest depths of hell. Lucifer couldn’t move, his body was shaking screaming for him to move, to react.
As soon as the first Flame beast bit into his soul and ripped it from him he finally freed himself from the fear through the pain.
Lucifer: LIKE HELL I WILL DIE WITH THIS!
He spread his wings and launched himself into the air gathering a massive amount of mana into his hands.
[Flame Palace]
A glowing blue ball appeared over his hands which he threw down at the hell flames. As one the flames form the magic circle erupted again but this time it took the form of a single creature. The form of a massive dragon made of pure fire. It opened its huge mouth and a chomped down on the spell which exploded but it didn’t even make a sound inside the flames as it was swallowed up.
The two glowing red flame eyes of the fire dragon looked up at him and breathed in and let out a bellowed.
I simply looked on and barely registered the roar. All my eyes saw was the target as did the dragon.
The dragon stretched itself and pulled itself further from the spell forming its back legs, tail and soon two immense wings all made with blue fire.
With flapped a few times and took flight. Its eyes still fixed at Lucifer who it would most likely follow him even if he were to escape to the foreigners world or any new world they created.
His fate was sealed the moment he thought of killing Lily and Lilian in front of me.
He showed immense fear as the dragon finished circling around. He turned towards me and then gave a smile and flew my way. The dragon followed close behind. He flew with greater strength passing by me. The dragon didn’t even notice me and I wasn’t registering it but as if out of hear the flames from the body of the dragon that would have made contact with my body circled around as if a bubble was around me.
The greedy flames did not even get close to me and continued chased after the demon lord condemned to death.
When he saw that it didn’t work he began firing off as many high leveled water spells as he could but try as he might he couldn’t even put a dent in the dragon. Instead it seemed to cause the dragon to grow stronger and faster as it ate the magic.
He Zig zagged and did tight turns trying to gain even a few more minutes but as with anything inevitable he could not stop fate. As the dragon neared it opened its giant jaws and shut it. Though it didn’t eat him it eat his legs and his part of his tail. The pain that passed through his body must have been intense enough to make him try harder. A few moments later the dragon bit down again taking his lower half. This finally caused him to give in and he fell down to the ground on his face.
I flew down and with my command I even stopped the hell fire dragon controlling its will.
Baal: This is the price for trying to kill my two beloved.
Lucifer: ...please...spare
CHOMP
I did not want to hear the words of a pathetic man like him again.
The sounds of crunching could be heard as the fire dragon enjoyed its meal. As it consumed the last of his soul it let out a deafening roar and moved towards the circle. Going in face first it returned to the pits of hell it came from. The only thing that remained after it was gone were a small tower of flames and the lights of Lucifer’s soul gathering at its center making a massive core that even outdid the Yin yang core in side.
As the magic circle finally shattered and with it taking the remaining flames all that was left was Lucifer's soul less body and the core crystal that contained his mana pool encased in his crystallized soul.
I pick up the second pistol that made up the pair and loaded them with every last bit of my miasma. I rolled the core in front of the body and took some steps back.
Baal: This is so I know you have died and will not come back.
I aimed both guns towards them and load every last bit of my miasma.
Pulled the trigger releasing every last bit of my power. The released energy caused a massive column like beam to fire and consume everything in its path. Even within the blast I could see his core and his body. As more power poured out his body burned and disintegrated as did the core his ashes taken by the beam were eventually also obliterated leaving absolutely nothing left by him except for the path of destruction that was caused by the fight.
Baal: It’s finally...ov...er.
Everything went black as I feel myself fade away as exhaustion takes over. before I hit the ground I feel my body get caught gentle voices talk to me.
???: Like always. My hero.
???: Our hero.
Those words echo in the darkness as I black out but I still go with a smile on my face because I still had my two loves with me.
