Chapter 82: Young master?
As much as Lucien would have loved to reject their help and do this alone he couldn't help but confess that his chances of winning against the enemy when fighting alone are less than forty percent and the only way he can actually harm her is through the use of his magic weapon, Habakiri!
"I am counting on you!" Lucien muttered as he stretched his hands towards the woman and tried to use a few skills.
[Shadow steal skill activated…]
[Shadow steal skill failed…]
[Nightmare eater skill activated…]
[Nightmare eater skill failed…]
"I guess I have no other choice…." Lucien muttered before covering himself in a veil of shadow and shooting forward.
[Shadow Cloak skill activated]
Bang!
The spirituality cultivator let out an inhuman growl as she shot towards Lucien and her sixteen remaining spirit wolves chased after her tightly.
"Tier 3 dark magic: Death grip!" Alucard growled as his eyes turned black and a threefold black magic area appeared beneath his feet.
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!!
RUMBLE!!!
From below countless bony hands shut out of the ground, holding on to the feet of all sixteen spirit wolves.
"what?" The lady gasped as she stopped to see what was going on but then a massive skeleton hand shot out of the ground and held on to the lady restricting her movements. Her face darkened as she felt her strength getting drained and her soul power leaving her body.
"You!" she quickly traced the magic and realized Alucard was the one casting the dark spell.
Bang!
She mustered enough strength to shatter the skeleton hand but before she could move, three more large skeleton hands shot out of the ground when held her down once again. This time the rate at which she was getting drained tripled forcing her to fall on her knees because she felt extremely dizzy and nauseating.
Bleh!
Alucard spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell on his knees. His face was extremely pale, with purple veins bulging out from different parts of his body, including his face.
"What the hell is wrong with him" Titan asked with a hint of panic in his voice. He didn't see the enemy do anything yet Alucard got hurt, this made him consider the possibility of another enemy hiding in the shadows.
"Alucard is more of a parasitic dark mage who uses his dark magic to drain the strength of others while improving his own at the same time… right now he's draining the enemy of her soul power which is poisonous to us body and magic cultivators…. His body will crumble soon at this rate" Instructor Emma said with an unusual calmness in her voice.
"Then he should stop!" Lucy complained with a panicked look on her face.
"Do I look wick to you? This is nothing!" Alucard said calmly with a face void of any form of emotions.
Blood flowed down his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth as he clasped his hands together and a fourth bone arm shot out of the ground and hell the hands of the lady, preventing her from using it.
Whoosh!
Lucien was already in front of the soul cultivator with the blazing orange whip laced with darkness aura. His eyes let out a bright light as he swung the whip at the woman but this time aiming for the head! If he can get this hit or just a bruise, he can end this fight in a matter of seconds!
"No, wait!" The lady panicked as she recalled all of her spirit wolves back to her body and from her body purple aura surged out violently, creating a three-headed wolf avatar with her, hiding within it!
"I won't let you!" Alucard growled with a dry voice as he summoned a fifth bone arm that gripped the three-headed spirit wolf avatar by the neck draining its strength and forcing it to reduce in size.
"Shatter!" Lucien growled as his whip struck the three-headed spirit wolf releasing a massive shockwave.
ROAR!!!
This time it was Lucien letting out an inhuman raw as the images of the Raizen God beast, the general level nightmare demon, and the General level hell hound appeared around him as eagle wings appeared on his back, his eyes turned pitch black and his skin darkened granting him even greater physical prowess!
"What are you?" the spirituality cultivator asked as she watched the flame whip slowly tore through her three-headed wolf avatar, making its way towards her face.
Lucien remained silent and focused on his attack as he watched his mana drain at an alarming rate that made his heart skip a beat.
Slowly his flame whip kept melting her defenses, making its way towards her face. A hint of panic appeared on her face as she saw the spirit of death hovering over her head. The spirituality cultivator had no choice but to release all her spirit energy for the skeleton arms to absorb.
Arrgh!
Alucard let out a loud cry as he quickly released his technique and fell to the ground, passing out immediately!
"You!" Lucien growled furiously as he watched his flaming whip tear through the remnants of her defenses, allowing his attack to reach her face but the bone hands binding her were, so the spirituality cultivator reacted quickly by crouching to evade the attack.
"Die!" Lucien growled furiously upon seeing his attack had missed.
He threw his whip to the air, getting ready to bring it down on the enemy but something unexpected happened.
The lady fell on her knees and bowed down respectfully while saying these words…
"Young master! I didn't recognize it was you… I will accept any punishment you deem fit for my actions"
"What the hell?" Lucien muttered as he stopped his attack midway and focused on the lady in question.
He could hear the sincerity in her emotional voice and another thing that stopped him from finishing her off was the notification he received.
[The spirituality cultivator has noticed the power of the beast assimilation in the host and has recognized him as her master...]
Seeing Lucien stop halfway left Titan and the others confused but seeing the lady bowing and unwilling to fight was even more shocking. She had released all the power of the spirit wolves stored up in her body, returning her to her slender, and alluring figure with her massive bosom pressed against the ground and her fat booty sticking out.
"What are you doing? End her!" Titan growled but Lucien ignored him and walked towards the lady and squatted down before asking.
"What did you call me?" Lucien asked calmly.
The lady looked up but did not dare to make eye contact with Lucien, there was a hint of joy in her expression mixed with a small touch of fear as well.
Gazing at the strange-looking girl, Lucien didn't know how to react. He has never seen someone act this way so he didn't know how to respond.
"Your soul energy is killing my friend… Help him" Lucien said after giving the matter some thought.
The lady nodded hastily and stretched her hands in Alucard's direction. Slowly, her purple soul energy surged out of her body, returning to her! Only then did Alucard start regaining his color but he remained unconscious.
'This spirituality cultivation is more capable than so many think… it took a team of five just to suppress one of them and we have serious casualties on our side' Lucien muttered in his mind as he secretly admired these people.
DING!
[Mission accomplished!]
[+1000exp]
"What?" Lucien muttered absentmindedly.
Didn't he survive?
Didn't he defeat the enemy?
Wait, no he didn't!
He was expecting more from the system but he soon realized he didn't defeat her, neither did he subdue her, she just chose not to fight on her own accord. Doesn't that mean if she continued that she would have emerged the victor?
"Fuck my life" Lucien muttered as he got on his feet and paced around like a mad man. His reason for risking his life and that of the others ended up not happening so he felt frustrated.

Lucien gazed at his status and then turned his annoyed gaze and felt the urge to ask her to battle him but he couldn't because winning won't mean shit since the quest has already been completed.

[Rewards unknown]
Looking at the mission, Lucien wished he could just bring out this system and deliver two hot slaps. He began suspecting the system was trying to get him killed. He was about to argue with the system but then he realized the lady was still bowing, probably waiting for him to ask her to stand. A strange thought crossed his mind and he gazed at the girl for a while before reluctantly asking the question.
"Who am I?" Lucien asked.
"You are the god of all gods! The almighty Rakuzen!"
