The large smirk on Lucifer’s face plastered across Lucifer’s face seemed to be the most noticeable thing in the bright flames.“I’ve grown weak” Lucifer said in a low but deep voice clear but also indiscernible to all present only Damian heard him clearly.“What do you mean?” Damian couldn’t help but ask, according to what he could see of the present situation Lucifer and Kale seemed evenly matched.“Watch…” Lucifer said a single word, Damian wanted to complain that he was obviously paying attention to the bout but Lucifer’s next words cut him short “… not with your eyes with your senses”.As Lucifer said Damian began to observe the energies colliding with his senses and not by the appearance of the energies he could see, as he observed although unclear as he just started, he could slowly make out the true battle taking place, one thing also became clear the flames were gradually losing the battle of strength.“But how…” Damian wanted to question but was interrupted.“I can sense it,

Each decade the martial halls of both families, the Heart and the Silver holds a duel to determine the strength and rights of the other, it was their way of competing and no original member of the families were allowed to participate, the duel was held for the students under the martial halls, it was how it had always been.“Is there a problem here” a voice suddenly came from behind the group causing all of them to scramble back a little in fear, they hadn’t felt the presence approach almost like a ghost appearing behind them, why wouldn’t they be frightened. As for Sofia she smiled recognizing the voice.“No problem at all Mr.Heart” the one who appeared to be the senior replied politely, cold sweat forming all over his face, he was clearly either nervous or still frightened, “We were just telling the young miss how curious we were to see the strength of the Heart’s martial hall students this year” he said once again but this time his tone sounding a bit relaxed as if he possessed the

Sofia dashes forward gathering momentum in his fist, she felt the need to teach Damian a lesson or probably beat him injured so he wouldn’t be able to participate in the duel but she knew it was impossible, he’ll probably just end up healed up to peak condition before the duel, nevertheless he needed to be thought a lesson. Her fist connects with his right rib sending him a few feet into the air, although the Ect rank the among the pinnacle of the lowest ranks the difference between each ranks wasn’t something that could be blindly ignored, she immediately followed up with a side kick to his face sending his body sliding across the floor.[HP: -10]Damian held the side of his rib in pain as he stood up in pain, he could see Sofia about twenty metres away from him, her face blank almost void of emotions. Sofia dashed towards him again, she was faster, stronger and had more endurance than him, she was a third phase Ect rank after all just a bit short of breaking into the next rank but h

“Something is wrong” Damian heard Lucifer speak in his mind.“What” Damian questioned, not noticing any difference.“I can’t control where I choose to teleport to in Sky palace” Lucifer replied his tone sounding a bit confused, nothing of sort has ever happened.“But it’s still your castle, right? You should still know the way around…and how’s it even possible for your movements to be restricted in your own castle” Damian asked a couple of questions at once sounding even more confused than Lucifer, who could restrict the King of the angels on the angel’s island.“I don’t know how it’s happening either. And yes it’s my castle but I had others do the work around so I don’t even know the way around and every single room in castle, plus the layout and rooms of the higher floors of the castle is ever-changing…It’s too stressful to master the routine and all” Lucifer said sounding lazy with a seemingly dry laughter, Damian suddenly burst into laughter, how could a leader not even know the w

Moving closer to the hydra with his entire being brimming with anger, flames suddenly rose up from the floor, when it died down a huge humanoid beast could be seen almost nine feet tall, it had two eyes but it appeared like they were closed, it had no clothing on as it appeared like its body was covered in a layer of rock, maybe it was its skin, who knew. Its four huge arms each holding a different weapon, a spear, shield, battle axe and a sword.“The Demon king has appointed I, his ninth general as the watcher of this, for a thousand years I have stood watch over the Sky palace and no intruder, how did thee appear…” The beast began speaking, it had a light funny voice almost like a little girl screaming, Lucifer calmed down and listened to what the beast was saying after all he wanted to know what was going on but as the beast went on he began to appear frustrated “I shall contact the King and tell him about the appearance of a visitor, he has awaited…” silence permeated the throne ro
