Part 2: All Warriors VS Awakened Lucius

Lucius looked at the warriors.

"There's more of them? What the hell is going on?" he muttered.

Exelium glanced at the warriors.

"It seems we are here," one warrior said, revealing its demonic wings.

"Yeah," another savior added, unveiling their angelic wings.

Seraphiel and Drakar looked at Exelium.

"Exelium? What are you doing here? I thought Modern Bambon humiliated you horribly," Seraphiel asked.

"Well, Kuri called me to deal with this dumbass," Exelium replied, referring to Lucius.

Lucius looked annoyed and was about to speak, but Exelium cut him off.

"Shut your mouth, filthy ###."

Drakar sighed. "Real mature, Exelium. You just want this to get banned."

"Screw whoever censored the name," Exelium scoffed.

Lucius scowled. "Stop talking in the middle of a fight."

"Right. I should be the one to make the first move," Seraphiel said, stepping forward.

"Be careful. Even though you're an angel, you're still vulnerable to Lucius's attacks," Drakar warned.

"And yours won't make a single difference," Seraphiel replied.

"It will," Drakar countered. "Demons attack their own kind too."

Seraphiel lunged at Lucius, striking swiftly, but Lucius dodged every attack. He retaliated, aiming for Seraphiel's torso, but the angel countered with a light-infused stab to his shoulder. Lucius leapt back, yanking the light blade from his wound.

"Light? Interesting," Lucius said, grinning wickedly.

Drakar stepped in, glaring. "You should know Seraphiel isn't fighting alone."

Lucius chuckled. "Yeah, I get that a lot. Strange for a demon to team up with an angel."

Drakar lunged, landing a punch to Lucius's face before hurling him into the sky. He then slammed his hell trident into the ground, unleashing deadly energy beams toward Lucius.

Lucius evaded most of them, but one grazed his shoulder, making him wince.

"You're strong for a demon," Lucius admitted.

Seraphiel summoned a light sword and readied himself.

"Stay out of this, glitch," he warned Exelium.

"You really think I'm that weak? I'm only here because Kuri asked me to help," Exelium retorted, annoyed.

Drakar ignored him and lunged at Lucius again. He landed two powerful blows, but Lucius dodged and countered, only for Drakar to deflect each strike with his trident. With a swift swing, Drakar burned Lucius's shoulder.

Lucius leapt back, watching as his flesh sizzled. "Interesting ability, demon. Normally, demons don't have this kind of fire manipulation. They're weaklings."

Seraphiel surged forward, slashing a deep light-infused wound across Lucius's torso. Lucius groaned in pain.

Exelium jumped in, striking Lucius's chest with his glitch-infused hands, creating a hole.

"How's that?" Exelium smirked.

Lucius roared, blasting them back as his injuries rapidly regenerated.

"Fools," he spat, coughing up blood before suddenly striking Exelium's shoulder with blinding speed.

"FUCK!" Exelium yelled, stumbling back and seeing the glitch effect.

"The glitch keeps protecting you, huh?" Lucius sneered. "Then you're dying with a glitch!" He charged forward, his hands glowing brightly.

Seraphiel intercepted, clashing blades with Lucius.

Lucius struggled against the light-infused weapon. "Damn it… What's with your sword!?"

Seraphiel kicked Lucius in the gut and slashed at his legs, but Lucius quickly regained his footing and dodged away, firing multiple lasers.

Seraphiel blocked each one with his sword and retaliated with slashes.

Lucius evaded them, even kicking one away.

Drakar hurled multiple tridents at Lucius.

Lucius dodged, then rushed at Drakar with a flurry of attacks. Drakar blocked each strike with his trident and countered with his wings, but Lucius dodged again, grabbed Drakar's horns, and slammed him into a wall.

Exelium teleported in and struck Lucius's torso, causing him to glitch.

"I've seen this before," Lucius muttered before breaking free and punching Exelium's face, sending him crashing through several buildings.

"We're in huge trouble if that guy is down," Seraphiel said grimly.

Drakar unleashed his full power, launching a barrage of tridents at Lucius.

Lucius sprinted through them, dodging effortlessly.

Seraphiel flapped his wings, generating shockwaves.

Lucius was pushed back. "Those shockwaves are strong…"

Taking a step back, Lucius muttered, "I need a different approach to finish these two."

Drakar lunged again, attacking relentlessly, but Lucius dodged each strike. He countered, but Drakar blocked with his trident and impaled Lucius's chest.

"Gah!" Lucius groaned.

"Your awakening is useless," Drakar stated.

Lucius grinned, gripping the trident. "You really think that's enough?" With raw force, he shattered the weapon.

He then fired a deadly laser at Drakar's arm.

Drakar dodged and retreated.

Seraphiel lunged at Lucius, striking repeatedly. Lucius blocked most attacks but took two hits, forcing him to stumble back. Seraphiel's wings pulsed, absorbing force.

Lucius kept punching at the wings, unaware they were storing energy.

Seraphiel suddenly released it all, sending Lucius hurtling into the sky.

"We need to call either Bambon or Bandon to deal with him," Drakar said.

"Maybe Yeno Bambon too," Seraphiel suggested.

"No, Yeno is busy with the others. We shouldn't put more pressure on him. It's best to call Bambon," Drakar reasoned.

"Drakar, Bambon fought him earlier and barely kept up!" Seraphiel argued.

"He didn't use the Infinity Earrings. He should be able to match him now," Drakar countered.

Lucius returned, glaring. "You're gonna regret that."

Suddenly, time froze for a split second.

Mementos arrived, accompanied by Master X and RS.

"Are we late?" Mementos asked.

Seraphiel and Drakar frowned at them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Seraphiel asked.

"Relax, we're not here to fight you. Kuri forced us to join the battle along with the others," Mementos replied.

"It's impressive you're still standing. That Lucius guy is strong," Master X commented.

"I fought him before, but his power wasn't the same," Mementos noted.

"So he got stronger?" RS asked.

"Seems like it. But don't worry—we trained for this," Master X said.

Lucius smirked. "Bring it on."

He charged forward.

RS and Master X ducked aside while Mementos prepared himself.

"Die!" Lucius roared, striking at Mementos, but he dodged and countered with a punch to Lucius's heart, making him stagger.

Mementos followed up with a flying kick, but Lucius recovered instantly and fired multiple lasers.

Mementos raised his hand, stopping time.

"These lasers are fast… slightly faster than light," he observed.

Walking behind Lucius, he chanted, "Time resumes."

Time resumed, and the lasers missed.

Lucius turned sharply. "How did you escape my lasers!?"

Master X rushed in, kicking Lucius in the face. RS teleported in front of him and punched him, making him stumble.

Mementos teleported behind Lucius and landed a critical blow, making him cry out in pain.

"Nice hit, Mementos," Master X commented.

"Shut up," Mementos muttered.

RS lunged, but Lucius caught his fist and hurled him into a wall.

"That's not good," Master X said.

Drakar and Seraphiel exchanged glances.

"We should retreat and bring stronger reinforcements," Drakar decided.

Lucius smirked. "Smart move…"

The warriors vanished, leaving three behind.
