Chapter 221: Mythic Class
The next morning arrived like a whisper.
The Vampire Realm was quiet again—unnaturally so. No horns. No movement outside the castle walls. Just the soft flutter of crimson banners brushing against ancient stone, and the hush of air thick with leftover power. The aftermath of a god's awakening.
Lucifer stirred.
But this time, it wasn't weak. It wasn't slow.
His eyes snapped open, glowing red.
Fully awake.
He exhaled once. Then sat up.
No pain.
The bruises were gone. The cuts healed. His skin—pale, but radiant—shimmered faintly with a new kind of aura. Deeper. Still and vast like a sealed ocean. His body wasn't just restored.
It had changed.
Lucifer swung his legs off the side of the bed and stood—bare feet on cold stone.
He looked down at his hand and closed his fist.
Power crackled under his skin. Controlled. Sharpened. No longer struggling to contain itself.
A soft chime echoed in his head.

Lucifer exhaled, amused. "So this is what it feels like."
He flexed his hand again, then walked toward the mirror.
His reflection greeted him like a stranger.
Hair is a little longer. Shoulders broader. Eyes no longer just red—but layered with gold rings. A mark had appeared on his chest—a glowing sigil of fangs wrapped in eclipse light. His presence wasn't just regal anymore.
It was absolute.
He turned, reaching for a shirt from the side. Black. Simple. He slid it on slowly. Then stepped toward the door. Time to return to the tower, check on the others, and announce what needed to be done.
But the moment he opened it—
"Lucifer."
Ella stood there.
She froze.
He blinked, surprised.
She was in a short black coat, half-zipped. Legs bare. Hadn't expected to bump into him this early. Her eyes widened the moment she saw him.
"…You're awake," she breathed.
"I am."
"You're… stronger."
Lucifer tilted his head. "You can feel it?"
Ella stepped forward, barely a foot away now. "Lucifer, your aura's leaking into the floor. The whole castle's humming."
He smiled softly. "Didn't mean to wake the world."
Ella swallowed. Her eyes scanned his face.
Then, without warning, she pressed her palm to his chest.
Lucifer didn't flinch.
She stared at the mark there. Her fingers brushed over it gently.
"This is new," she whispered.
"Yeah," he said quietly. "Came with the new form. Mythic Class."
She looked up. "It's beautiful."
Their eyes locked.
The tension was immediate. And different.
There was no chaos now. No urgency. Just silence.
And the way her breath hitched slightly as she realized how close they were.
Lucifer didn't move.
He didn't need to.
Ella stepped in first.
Slow.
Her hands slid around his back, pulling him closer. Her cheek touched his chest.
"I thought we lost you," she murmured. "You scared the shit out of all of us."
"I know."
Her grip tightened.
"You always push until your body breaks. Then you smile like it didn't hurt."
Lucifer's arms slid around her waist. "It did."
She pulled back enough to look at him. Her eyes were sharp. But soft.
"Don't do that again."
"I'll try."
"Lucifer—"
He kissed her.
No warning.
Just closed the distance and kissed her.
Ella froze—but only for a second.
Then she melted into it.
Her hands slid up his back, into his hair. Their bodies pressed close. Heat flared between them—sharp, real, impossible to ignore. His hand came to the small of her back, pulling her flush to him.
She gasped against his lips.
Lucifer moved slowly. Deliberate. Like he wasn't rushing it—just savoring it.
Ella responded in kind.
They broke for half a breath. Then she kissed him again—harder this time.
Their backs hit the wall.
Lucifer lifted her slightly, and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
They didn't speak.
They didn't need to.
Her coat slid off.
His hands explored her back. Her neck. Her thigh.
Ella's fingers tugged at his shirt.
He leaned down to her ear. "You sure?"
She looked him dead in the eye. "You've been gone too long."
He carried her gently back into the room.
The door shut behind them.
And for the first time in what felt like forever, there was no war to fight. No blood to spill. Just two people. Breathing. Wanting. Needing nothing else but this moment.
No more walls. No more waiting.
Just fire.
As they entered the room, the atmosphere shifted, charged with electricity and longing. Lucifer's lips found Ella's again, this time deeper, more urgent. Their mouths moved together in a rhythm that felt both familiar and new, a dance of passion ignited by the heat of their bodies pressing against one another. Ella's hands roamed freely, tracing the contours of his chest, feeling the strength beneath the fabric. She tugged at his shirt, pulling it over his head and tossing it aside. Her fingers explored the newly revealed skin, marveling at the way his body had transformed. He was powerful, radiant, and it only fueled her desire. Lucifer's hands traveled down her sides, savoring the curve of her waist, the softness of her skin. He could feel the heat radiating from her, the way her breath quickened as he leaned closer, brushing his lips against her neck, trailing kisses along her collarbone. Ella shivered, her fingers tangling in his hair, urging him on. With a swift motion, he lifted her again, her legs wrapping around him as he pressed her against the wall. The cold stone contrasted sharply with the heat of their bodies, intensifying the moment. He could feel her heart racing against him, the palpable need between them growing stronger."Lucifer," she breathed, her voice a mix of urgency and desire. "Please."That was all the encouragement he needed. He kissed her fiercely, their bodies moving in perfect harmony, lost in the heat of the moment. Clothes became a hindrance, and before long, they were discarded, leaving them bare against one another, skin to skin. The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of them and the fire that consumed them. Lucifer's hands explored every inch of her body, igniting her senses, drawing soft gasps from her lips. Ella's fingers danced across his skin, tracing the lines of his muscles, exploring the newfound power that thrummed beneath his surface.
