Chapter 51 Lucifer's ultimate skill
Xander had already made up his mind to leave this cave today no matter what. He scanned through all the creatures running towards him.
"Most of them are level 1 to 10s. The minority are the level 11 to 30s. We can deal with them as long as the manticore doesn't show up." Xander said but he didn't actually go and attack and summoned his demons.
In front of them red flames began to burn on the sand and from it, emerged three terrifying figures.
Lucifer brandished his scythe as he looked at the incoming army of monsters. Belphegor's purple eyes gleamed as his soul arrow appeared in front of him, ready to stab any damned creature. Satan just looked at the creatures coldly, a dangerous aura seeped out of his body.
"Kill the monsters," Xander ordered and Lucifer, along with Satan charged forward, leaving a gale behind them.
Belphegor just yawned as he waved his hand upwards. The arrow multiplied into more than a thousand and he began to rain the left side of the field with arrows.
Satan looked back at Belphegor and gritted his teeth. "He's leaving us some of the creatures on purpose," Satan mumbled as he appeared in front of a creature and punched it.
"Why did you send them?" Hannah asked in confusion.
She was really riled up and wanted to kill monsters but now that Xander's puppets were slaughtering the monsters she was downcast.
"Because the manticore is the real threat in this cave. If we can make it towards the cave entrance and just step a foot outside we will be able to use our life stones.
If we can avoid depleting our stamina, we should as the manticore is still nowhere to be found." Xander said as he watched his demons and Hannah nodded.
Arrows were flying around, killing monster after monster like a hurricane of death. The reaper waved its scythe and seven ghost scythes surrounded him before each of them spread all around, claiming the lives of the monsters as if they were ants.
Satan was the most impressive yet. Anywhere he swung his fists and hit a monster it would cause the sound of a loud bang to resound. Satan's fists were like hammers. Any creature that gets close to him will just be splattered to the ground or will be punched so hard that their bodies would explode.
Xander smiled in pride as he watched his demons rain terror on the battlefield with their ruthless attacks.
"Your puppet master class is really overpowered." Hannah Complimented as she looked at his face again.
Xander looked like a general commanding his soldiers on the battlefield. His smile of pride was like that of a coach when his players brought him the trophy.
"Anything wrong?" Xander turned to Hannah with a smile.
"N– no nothing's wrong." She turned as she felt her face burning up in embarrassment.
'What is wrong with you Hannah? We're on a battlefield and you're admiring this super cute guy.' Hannah thought and she shook her head to focus before returning to keep an eye out for the unpredictable arrival of the manticore.
[Your demons are almost out of stamina, they will be sent to the soul space when their stamina depletes.]
Xander dismissed the notification as he finished reading it. More monsters came into the cave from the entrance which stunned Xander.
'It's like they're spawning outside the caves.' Xander thought but then the long line of creatures coming in reduced and the ones that came in newly were the level 30 to 50s.
They were more than fifty of them and Satan and Belphegor were already looking tired.
'I don't understand why Belphegor would be tired. He has been sitting on the sand and controlling his arrows. He didn't even lift a finger and he's tired?' Xander thought with a frown but then he looked at the arrow which was now lonely in the air still going at full speed.
A creature came from behind Belphegor and the elf turned around with wide eyes but as the creature struck him, he turned into red flames and dispersed.
"Oh thank goodness. I thought he was gonna die." Xander breathed a sigh of relief.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"He didn't die?" Hannah was confused as she clearly saw the creature strike the elf.
"No. He returned to my... summoning space." Xander said with a bitter smile.
He then felt something and faced the battlefield. The sand was now bathed in blood and in the middle stood two figures. One was getting tired quickly while the other was still slashing and running at full speed, not getting tired at all.
Satan looked at Lucifer. He didn't want to stop fighting here. But alas, his stamina couldn't compare to that of Lucifer.
After a while Satan returned to the soul space and Xander got worried as he saw Lucifer being surrounded by level 30 to 40 monsters.
'I better send him back to the... wait. He's really going to use it.' Xander's eyes widened as he stared at Lucifer, not blinking his eyes as he didn't want to miss what was about to happen.
The reaper stood tall as monsters ran towards him from all angles. But his fiery red eyes brightened as he finally found an opportunity to prove himself as the best before his Master.
A light radiated from his chest. A red aura suddenly surrounded Lucifer and then fed flames erupted from the ground and surrounded Lucifer with a tornado of flames.
The creatures were still running towards Lucifer, not caring about whether they get past the flames or not.
The tornado of flames suddenly dispersed to reveal a large figure made out of red flames and Primordial energy seeped out of the figure. Discover more stories at empire
The avatar looked exactly like the reaper with a giant scythe in his hand.
The avatar then swung his scythe horizontally with all his energy and stamina.
All the monsters' heads rose and parts of their bodies flew through the air, blood bathed the giant avatar as the monsters died in the blink of an eye.
They were no match! They were massacred!
The avatar then disappeared to reveal Lucifer holding his scythe, looking straight at Xander.
'You have done well. Go back and rest now.' Xander said telepathically and he sent the reaper back to the soul space.
