NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1451: Ascending Heaven
-----
Lucifer was clearly better at the sword than Blake, easily beginning to overpower him, parrying his blows, slicing through his body, and stabbing him several times with ease! However, Blake relied on his brute strength, durability, and regeneration, constantly pushing further.
"You're a fool if you think you can beat me in the blade! I trained in Heaven since I was but a small little Cherubin! We Archangels train the Divine Blade of God Arts, the strongest swordsmanship in the entire Universe! Do you even think you can outmatch me?!"
The Demon King laughed, his divine sword glowing brightly and growing longer, clashing against Blake and overpowering him, pushing him back and covering him on slicing wounds…
"{Ascending Heaven}!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
BOOOM!
Blake was sent flying, his transformation slowly beginning to fall apart, the void covering his body disappearing, revealing his bruised, wounded body…
Even after having grown this much power, an Avatar of Lucifer still held this much strength.
It was incredible.
And in fact, Blake was smiling, he was happy that was the case.
It would have been boring if he would easily overpower the Demon King…
"Hahah… You're smiling?! Don't tell me you've gone mad now, Asmodeus?"
Lucifer slowly walked towards Blake, acting cocky and confident once more… hiding how much pain he felt. His Soul had been parasitized, and he hadn't had the time to take away the swarm of Soul Parasites, his Divinity had been bitten thousands of times, and he was constantly leaking his energies.
He had to kill Asmodeus right here and now and be done with his little game, before things were to become even worse! If he could defeat him and devour him, he would gain immense strength, regenerate, and then fully conquer this World through this new Avatar, perfect for him.
"Mad? Hardly… I am simply happy, Lucifer."
"What?"
"Despite how much I hate you, I enjoyed this battle… but I want to fight the real you next time."
"Hahah! There will be no next time, you worm. You're going down now… forever."
The divine blade rushed towards Blake, aiming to cut through his neck and behead him, surely killing him once and for all.
And then…
RUMBLE!
An immense explosion of Blood Energy erupted, as Blake used yet another of his trump cards.
"Wha…!?"
BOOMMM!!!
The explosion of blood energy and abyssal power erupted with immense strength, sending Lucifer flying away.
His eyes widened, as he saw Blake suddenly having transformed, a fusion between a gigantic, abyssal, monstrous bat, and a cosmic dragon, glowing with blue, red, and black flames of cosmic, void, calamity, and blood energies.
Blake had pulled out once more his most infamous trump card, [Embodiment of the Night: Camazotz]! After having done everything he could to weaken Lucifer beforehand, he transformed, fusing this transformation with his Cosmic Dragon form.
"RAAAAHHH!"
He roared mightily, his glistening blue and red scales glowing across his body, as Blake rushed towards Lucifer, whose eyebrows twitched in disbelief.
"You think that because you became bigger you're suddenly going to-"
CRAAASH!
"AACK?!"
Lucifer was crushed into the ground as a giant claw slammed him down, his bones shattering and his demonic arm breaking apart! Blake didn't stop there, his claws rapidly slashing through his entire body, blood and guts splattering everywhere.
"W-WHAAAAAT?! S-STOP! STOOOP!"
Lucifer was completely shocked, the power difference between Asmodeus of now and before was like heaven and earth! His transformation was too much, a true trump card he had saved for this very moment, to surprise him and overwhelm him.
"I WON'T STOP!"
Blake roared mightily, his jaws opening to release a gigantic cosmic breath, clashing against Lucifer's countless Divine and Demonic Arms, he used his Angelic Wing to defend, but it quickly vaporized, then his sword, his demonic arm transforming into countless demonic horrors, but they were all burned into ashes, and then the divine sword gained cracks, shattering into pieces before his eyes, his powerful swordsmanship useless as the beam overwhelmed him.
"NO…! I'M LOSING?! ME?! NOOOOO!!!"
Lucifer, who had never lost a fight before, screamed in frustration, his body turning into a giant monstrosity, trying his best not to be vaporized, but Blake held him down with his giant claws blazing with cosmic power, but Lucifer turned into a giant, coiling serpent even as he burned, Blake's breath attack stopped at that moment, as a kick in his chin forced his mouth shut.
CLASH!
"I WON'T LOSE! I NEVER LOSE! I AM THE SUPREME DEMON KING! ABOVE ALL ELSE, I AM THE HEIR OF THE END, BRINGER OF THE APOCALYPSE, THE ENDER OF ALL CREATION- Ugh?!"
Lucifer turned into countless demonic, biblical horrors one after another, and yet Blake didn't give up, his claws, breath attack, kicks, and his piercing tail rapidly began overwhelming him, tearing his foe to shreds, piece after piece, and above all, to his surprise, the arm he had torn from Blake returned for vengeance, fusing with his Spear, Gluttony, and impaling his chest, and soul.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
CRAAASH!
"You're nothing."
Blake's words resonated within Lucifer's mind and soul, as the King of all Demons started falling into despair.
He was truly going to lose now…
"AAAAGGGHHHH…!"
Lucifer let out an agonizing scream, his entire body being torn to shreds, his soul shattering apart as it gained countless cracks, his divinity breaking out and then his presence finally disappearing, as whatever remained of Dylan was burned to ashes, cosmic flames accumulating through his entire existence as everything ended with a loud explosion, Lucifer was vaporized out of this reality and sent back straight to hell, with more than one little wound.
BOOOMMM!!!
A ray of cosmic light and celestial energy erupted into the skies, the demonic gate was pierced by it, shattering like glass into countless pieces. Any demon that managed to sneak through it was rapidly dealt with by Blake's Familiars, his Vampire Spirits, Braveblitz and the rest of the Students, Soldiers, and Teachers.
The sky cleared, and the night finally arrived once more. As the moon shone brightly above the skies, the people that had survived through this entire ordeal were shocked, still surprised by everything that happened, but slowly, they felt relieved, the nightmare was finally over.
For now.
