NOVEL WEB Chapter 1448: Clash Against Lucifer
-----
Blake forced Dylan to struggle until the very last moment, while constantly provoking him and Lucifer, who was watching over him, as he had turned Dylan into one of his rare Apostles.
Until finally, as Dylan reached the limits of his patience and body, overwhelmed completely by Blake's might, a ray of light descended from the skies, alongside an explosion of darkness and red flames from hell erupting from the ground.
The combination of these two disruptive energies merged and quickly erupted, detonating through the ground and shattering the entire floor apart, the arena trembled, as most of it collapsed, survivors had been all evacuated by now, and only those strong enough to witness the battle remained, although they were already on their way to the skies, to confront the demon invasion coming from there.
BOOOM!
After seeing that massive explosion and feeling that overwhelming presence, which was also incredibly familiar, Blake looked into the distance, amidst the smoke, to see Dylan's body suddenly having transformed completely, going back to a more humanoid form, with long blonde and green hair, and a red and blue eye, both eyes glowing brightly with divine and demonic power.
Meanwhile, Dylan's left arm had become demonic and monstrous, fusing with his divine sword spirits to resemble a long golden and black sword wrapped around fleshy tendrils, eyes, horns, and jaws, while he had one angelic wing on his right shoulder, although it was constantly bleeding.
Dylan had suddenly become almost naked, only wearing some white robes around his chest and hips, looking at Blake with both majesty and disdain as his divine and demonic power converged.
Among all other Archdemons, only he could reach this level of power by combining completely opposite powers, Divinity and Demonic Authorities…
"Fine… So be it. I am here, Blake. I'll show you that I don't even need to face you with my real body to kill you! I'll make you regret everything you've done so far!"
And finally, after all this time, it was him. Although Blake was smiling before, his face distorted into utter anger as he saw the disgusting face of the bastard that took everything from him, and he charged towards him without hesitation.
"Lucifer!"
He instantly fused his Demonic Spear Gluttony with his Divine Sword of Light Skill, and further enhanced it using the Celestial Nanomachines, creating a powerful spear of black, red, white, and cold, overflowing with one side with golden flames and the other with crimson and black flames.
CLAAASH!
He attacked Lucifer without restraint, as a gigantic shockwave erupted as Demon King intercepted his blow with the mutated, demonic arm his vessel had, using the sharp divine blade fused into it. Divine light and demonic flames erupted, as Blake quickly pushed his own demonic arm towards his foe, which had transformed and evolved, transforming into several cannons and firing dozens of explosive beams at point-blank.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hahahah!"
Lucifer laughed, however, using his wing to protect himself, even though he was pushed back several meters way, his feathers flying everywhere, falling slowly from the sky, as the light of Lucifer was so bright it suddenly made the day brighter than ever, the dark of the night disappearing, as everyone saw the blue sky and the immense brilliance of God.
"Amazing! Not bad at all, Asmodeus! I am truly in awe of your new strength!"
"I'll tear you to shreds, Lucifer!"
Blake roared furiously, overtaken by his grudges, resentment, and regrets, he battled like a wild beast, letting his Cosmic Spirit Draconification take over completely, as blue and silver dragon scales grew around his body and cosmic dragon flames blazed across his wings, his hair, tail, and claws.
Unlike back then when he battled Fafnir, where Sangre herself ended descending to help him, this time Blake was alone against Lucifer, the Outer Goddess had no agency in this battle, although Blake could feel her presence, she was watching with anticipation.
Blake's Aura erupted as the power of Calamity Manifested, thousands of black dots appeared around Lucifer while the Demon King parried his blows with ease, followed with several explosions one after another, the power of Calamity rapidly beginning to pierce through his immense durability, slowly, however.
Lucifer responded with his own powers and magic, each one of his feathers turning into a deadly projectile, piercing Blake's defenses, his Aura Barrier, and even his armor, exploding and engulfing him on several explosions, breaking apart his armor, demonic shell, and draconic scales.
"Isn't this amusing?!"
Lucifer laughed as the black dots of Calamity surrounded him once more, explosions appeared everywhere, trying to decimate him, to pulverize him into nothingness, and yet he pierced through the black smoke generated from the explosions, appearing in front of Blake and placing his hand on his face, pushing him down with immense force.
CRAAASH!
"Yes! Yes! Hahahaha! This is it, Asmodeus! I revived you, just for this moment! I can feel it! Oh yes! Your despair…! Are you afraid now?! now that you've got so much to lose, now that you've become attached to so many lives and people… are you afraid of losing everything?!"
As Lucifer laughed, his wing spread out, showing dozens of crimson eyes and charging with energy, firing hundreds of laser beams against the barrier around them and rapidly beginning to wear it down. Elizabeth concentrated the best she could, but even her powers were reaching their limits, as her barrier was shaking, gaining cracks.
"Once I am done with this barrier, I'll show you how I massacre every one of your friends! This is what you wanted right?! You forced my hand just for this moment, you utter fool!"
"Yeah, you're not wrong… this is exactly what I wanted!"
Blake quickly merged his Demonic Celestial Mechanical Arm with his Spear, turning it into a spinning drill of golden red metal and crystalized blood, piercing through Lucifer's ribs and managing to break through his immense durability.
CRAAASH!
"AAAGH?!"
As Blake managed to pierce through his vessel, he further reached into his soul, as he infused as many Soul Parasites of Greed as he could, beginning to swarm Lucifer's soul itself.
"W-WHAT?! MAMMON'S POWER?!"
Lucifer panicked in that second, his cockiness disappearing as he realized Blake must have planned to do this all along… the very reason why he brought him here was to bait him!
"I know how powerful you are, so I've become just as scummy as you are, Lucifer! I would have never fought you in person without weakening you a little bit beforehand!"
"SHUT UP! AS IF THIS COULD EVER HARM ME!"
Lucifer kicked Blake's face several times, making him bleed constantly, and yet Blake didn't give up, his regeneration was enhanced as his Celestial Nanomachines stacked around his body, healing his wounds while also regrowing a completely white armor around his body.
"W-What sort of power is that?!"
Lucifer was awestruck! He had never seen such strange familiars; they were certainly the strangest thing Blake had ever summoned.
"{Spacetime-Warping Calamity Domain}!"
