Ch 178 - Ascension
"Yami, you ready?" Alex suddenly called out.
"Huh?"
Throwing an unconscious William over his shoulder, he looked back at Alex with a face full of confusion.
"What?" He asked.
Alex chuckled and summoned out Yami's grimoire and katana from his inventory before passing them over to the Black Bull Captain.
"The dark triad has been defeated, the Spade Kingdom has been liberated and the end of the world has been avoided."
"As for the devils that escaped, the others are taking care of them as we speak."
"I am sending you both to the Capital. Take William with you and leave quickly. You both need a doctor."
Yami chuckled and patted Alex's head. "You bastard. Are you looking down on me or what? Do you think something like this can actually stop me?"
"Hahaha... that's my Captain." Alex laughed and nodded his head. "Alright. You go ahead, there is still something that I have to solve."
Yami glanced at the large ritual formation and understood what Alex was pointing to. He nodded his head and carried away William with him.
Alex watched him leave the ritual room before he shifted his attention to the center of the destroyed room.
"Did you really think that this would stop me!"
The venomous voice of the devil king once again echoed out of Morris's lifeless body.
"Hoh! You can still talk, huh? Then let's see what you got!" Alex replied with a chuckle.
Crack!
"Laugh all you want... My ascension cannot be slowed!"
Lucifero continued to spit out nonsense as the lower room of the castle began to crack slowly.
Crack! Crack!
"It cannot be stopped!"
CRACK!! CRACK!! CRACK!!
"I WILL END YOU ALL!"
As the terrifying voice of Lucifero echoed out, the ritual room began to rumble and shake violently.
"To the one who tried to deny me!"
BOOM!!
"You Will Be The First To Face My Wrath... ASTA!!"
And with that, the space completely shattered.
"Then come... King of the Devils!"
Alex grinned devilishly and accepted the challenge, provoking Lucifero.
Screeeeeeeech!!
Not even a second later, hundreds... No! Thousands of devils burst through the top of the castle.
"ASTTAAAA!!!"
The rage in Lucifero's voice rang out as everyone from Yami to Mereoleona and the Spade resistance watched in horror as those devils smushed together and merged into a monstrous mass of flesh.
'Devils from the second layer!'
Despite not witnessing it himself, Yami instinctively knew that whatever coming was even worse than he had encountered till now.
Instead of using the remnants of Qilphoth's mana to tear through space and travel to the underworld as he had planned, Lucifero used the Qilphoth's mana to forcefully create a crack in space that existed between the living world and the underworld.
"ASTTAAAA!!!"
In the face of the manifesting devil king, Alex was completely relaxed since he had already anticipated or already knew that Lucifero had something like this up his sleeve.
Aside from Alex, all the other humans fell like flies.
"You are finally here! And you come specially for me? YOU REALLY FLATTERED MEE!"
BOOM!!
Resisting the gravity and clenching his fists tightly, he flexed his mana to grab Lucifero's attention.
"You sure show off too much, Lucifero. And I don't like it. Only I can get to flex!!"
Alex laughed and called out to the devil brother. "Hey, Liebe, let's show this motherfucker, how to show off properly!"
"Hehe..." Liebe snickered and said. "Yeah. I want to kill this bastard for a long time."
'Devil Union'
Instantly, Alex and Liebe merged, entering their union form. Grabbing the hilt of his sword, Alex's facial muscles titled upward into a grin as he stared at the expanding mass of devils.
'What you are doing is nothing more than garbage, Lucifero! And here is what happened to that garbage!!'
"Demon-Slasher: Infinite Slash Equinox!"
Bringing the sword down in one smooth motion, a large slash of compressed anti-magic sliced through the manifesting Lucifero.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
An earth-shattering scream escaped from Lucifero's mouth as a vertical beam of concentrated anti-magic split him straight down the middle.
"What the fuck?!" Yami who had just reached the surface gawked, stunned for a few seconds before he laughed.
"Asta, you bastard! You are still hiding something like this from me..."
"CAPTAIN!!"
Just at this moment, a familiar voice entered his ears.
Bursting out from the distance and covering the distance between them, the Black Bull base flew through the air at an incredible speed.
Standing on top of the bull's head, the black bulls who didn't participate in the fight looked towards Yami with tears in their eyes.
"Heh." Yami smiled and turned to face them. "Took you long enough to get here ya idiots."
"WE'RE SORRY!!"
"Hahaha.... I forgive ya."
'Is it... really over?'
Standing on the destroyed battlefield, Nacht who had managed to escape the battle along with the others looked at the corpse of Lucifero.
Unable to hide it, a small smile crept onto his face.
'Those kids... They actually did it.'
"What are you standing around for?"
"!!!"
Hearing an unfamiliar voice sound out right next to his ear, Nacht's head snapped to the left.
Appearing out of nowhere and scratching the back of his neck, an edgy-looking devil with a teenage appearance and ram-like horns looked at Nacht like he was looking at a dead man.
'A Supreme Devil from the second layer!'
'When did he get here?!'
'I did not even sense him!'
Ignoring the look of shock on his face, the devil looked at the celebrating humans with a vacant expression on his face.
"Is now really the time to be celebrating?"
As he spoke, the leftover pieces of Lucifero's corpse suddenly swirled together and rose into the air.
"After all..." Adramelech purposely paused in the middle as Nacht too had felt creeps crawling all over his skin as a bad feeling arose in his heart.
'This... what is this!'
The devil continued and finished. "Lucifero's manifestation... It's half complete."
As the corpse twisted and mangled itself, it eventually compressed into a sphere. And from within it emerged, Lucifero.
Lucifero is finally here!
'L-Lucifero!' Nacht trembled all over his body as the worst situation actually occurred despite all their efforts.
'I am finally free!'
