Lust Knight Chapter 428: Hunger for Enemies

Chapter 428: Hunger for Enemies

What is a person's real power? Well, that's a set of things like their power level, race, special abilities, and skills.
Those points are variable, but what most impacts during combats is the power level. People with significant differences in their power levels will have a very fast fight, while people with similar power levels will have a long and balanced fight.
But after seeing Lucien, a likely demon, theoretically from the Earth Realm, not only fight equally with someone from the late stages of the Sky Realm but also beat him up, he still kills, or rather, destroys, ten Earth Realm angels with a single strike, while also stepping on the head of that Sky Realm angel.
That scene is not only brutal but also impossible. The other angels, both from the Mortal and the Earth Realms, go into shock and get terrified.
"What is he???" Many of them wonder.
"A monster!! He can only be a monster!" One of the strongest angels among them speaks while his legs are shaking.
They were being killed by Lucien's troops and wives, but seeing him massacre their people like that is crazy. There are limits even in a deadly battle, and the angels are not willing to suffer the same fate as those ten unfortunates who not even understood how they died.
While that scene is very brutal for the angels, Lucien's troops and wives see nothing unusual. For them, it is quite normal to see their beloved Master crush his enemies down like meat paste. They still think he doesn't lose his charm even when covered in blood.
For his sisters, that is not unusual either. They were raided by Michael to be emotionless weapons, and even though they have many emotions, their pity for their enemies is not one of them.
They and the Sins are very happy that Lucien is so strong. However, Donna can't help but have pessimistic thoughts again.
After seeing how Amelia and Sophia are getting more powerful so quickly, and now that incredible show of power of Lucien, she feels that maybe trying harder won't be enough to don't stay behind them.
Donna never wanted to be as strong as Eve; she just wanted to protect her younger siblings. But now, they look so strong that they no longer need her protection.
The desire to get stronger, especially as strong as Lucien, grows more and more in her heart. And Wrath, you can feel that. Desire is not exactly the feeling she wants her host to feel, but that seems like a good opportunity for them to get stronger.
'If you want to get stronger faster, you know what you have to do.' Wrath speaks in Donna's mind. 'He helps more than two thousand women he has recently met to become stronger, so it is obvious that he would not deny the help to his beloved older sister.'
'I can't...' Donna responds. 'I want to protect him... but how could I do that depending on his power? What kind of older sister would I be?'
'I can't say how it will affect your relationship.' Wrath responds honestly. 'But if you don't do it, you will remain in the same place you are now... Watching him fight the strongest enemies while you only deal with weak troops.'
She continues. 'Not only that, but you will also see other strong women fighting alongside him while you will have to be protected by them. But... If you can get stronger, even using his help, you will always be by his side, fighting in that beautiful way that he does now.'
As much as Donna doesn't want to need help from her younger brother to remain a trusted older sister, she knows that Wrath's words make sense.
'Ok...' She responds in a timid tone while looking at Lucien. 'I will talk to him, but not now. I will do that when we have a good opportunity.'
'Do as you wish.' Wrath comments while also looking at Lucien. She begins to understand why Pride seems to like him that much.
And Lucien looks at the army of angels in front of him. The blood of those ten Earth Realm angels runs down his body and falls on the body of the spear angel, who continues to struggle to get up.
Due to the magic pill that the spear angel took, he can still fight by ignoring his injuries. But his mind is in a mess, which prevents him from using all his strength.
He should be a leader for his people and be beating Lucien up, but he is on the ground while his opponent, a young Earth Realm demon, continues to humiliate him. Even though he is furious, the spear angel is sorrowful and depressed to the point that he wants to die.
The spear angel is shocked by Lucien's strength, but he is not as terrified as the other angels. And Lucien realizes that, so he licks the blood on his lips and points the golden naginata at them.
"Come on! Attack me with everything you have!!" He shouts in an excited tone.
"..." But no angel takes a step forward. In fact, they start to walk back and run away. They could fight Lucien's army, but he is a terrifying monster.
Lucien's troops start laughing when they see the angels running away, but he is a little disappointed. The battle had just begun and is already over, which is not cool.
He begins to regret having used his whole potential so quickly. He was so excited about a fight where he could go with everything he has, and it ended up being really fast.
"Damn!!" He curses and then removes his foot from the spear angel and kicks him away. "You are useless!!"
Lucien is really frustrated by not having an opponent worthy of pushing him to his real limit, so he materializes his red katana swings it towards the other angels with all his strength.
*WHOOOOOSH*
The katana's blade glows brightly as it cuts through the air with overwhelming force, creating a powerful wind slash full of demonic energy.
That powerful blade of wind flies towards the angels with incredible speed, and as soon as it hits the first angel, it cuts her body in half in less than a second before continuing forward, cutting several other angels and killing them on the spot.
Ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred... That wind slash kills almost a thousand angels from the Mortal Realm and dozens of Earth Realm ones, yet, it still doesn't seem to be stopping.
That attack doesn't only shock the angels, but even Lucien's group is left with their mouths open. Eve has a proud smile on her face while Pride even materializes her body again to see that massacre with her own eyes.
But then a bright white light appears in front of that wind slash and blocks it, just because it has lost most of Its strength after passing through so many angels.
Still, that attack was a success, and Lucien's troops begin to celebrate and praise their Master, but he makes a strange expression while looking at the person who blocked his wind slash.
Flapping her dark wings in the air, Helene looks at Lucien while holding a gray sword and shield. "It is enough."
"Helena!!" Donna shouts at her new friend while she doesn't understand why she is defending the angels; after all, they were the ones who started the battle trying to attack Lucien.
"Lady Helena???" Genevieve, who is a mile away from there, cannot believe who she is seeing.
Lucien, still covered in blood, smiles provocatively at Helena. "Who are you to tell me when it is enough?"
She flies towards him. "I am someone who would not be alive if it were not for the help of the Master of those angels."
"The one with the shining armor?" Lucien was sure that Agapius was the leader of those angels, but now he is confused.
Helena lands in front of Lucien and shakes her head. "No. The old Lord Corvus. I think that boy is the new Lord Corvus, so I think my friend is dead."
Then she looks at him with an imploring expression. "I didn't want to get into this because they attacked first, but I stand still and watch you massacring my old friend's people like that..."
"What if I don't stop? Are you going to stop me?" Lucien asks. He cannot control his desire to continue fighting.
"Brother..." Donna approaches him and speaks in an imploring tone. "She is our ally."
"We don't need such allies!" Pride comments while also approaching Lucien. Then she looks him in the eye. "We should kill them all and send a message to the rest of their people about what their future will be like."
Lucien holds the golden naginata tightly while looking at the fleeing angels. They don't look like soldiers anymore; they are just terrified people. Killing them would be equivalent to killing defenseless animals.
He still wants to fight and kill his enemies, but those angels did not attack him directly. They were following the orders of their leader, the man who really deserves to be killed.
But on the other hand, there is Helena, who Lucien does not yet know what she means to him. She was honest in telling what she knew about the mysterious woman and became friends with Donna, so everything is complicated now.
Lucien feels a strange headache as he just wants to continue fighting and killing his enemies. Fighting is not complicated; dealing with people is.
"Luci..." He hears Eve's sweet voice and feels her taps his shoulder. "Is everything okay? We don't really need to kill them."
He looks at the golden naginata and realizes that his emotions are getting out of control. That intense desire to fight does not seem to belong to him.
[Aylin...] He thinks as he sees more visions of the golden gates.
"Lucien..." He hears a soft voice and thinks it's Alyin talking to him, but then he realizes that it's Helena, still looking at him with an imploring expression while Donna is beside her.
"Alright." He nods and prepares to dematerialize the golden naginata. But then he hears a noise behind him and realizes that the spear angel got up and started flying towards him.
"HAAAAAAA!!!!" The spear angel cries as he launches a powerful punch, with all his remaining forces towards Lucien. His body glows with light energy, blinding almost everyone around.
"Heh..." Lucien smiles as the golden naginata shines again. Then he raises his left arm, and his skin begins to petrify while Rose's earth energy arouses inside his body.
The spear angel is flying at a very high speed, and even Eve doesn't notice his movements, so he quickly reaches Lucien's back, but he turns around and blocks the angel's fist with his stone fist.
*BAMMM*
The collision of Lucien's stone fist and angel's fist creates a powerful force wave that only throws the angel back while his arm is completely broken.
Lucien does not feel any pain due to the arm having turned to stone momentarily. Then, while the angel is still less than a meter from him, he quickly attacked with the golden naginata and pierced that angel's chest.
Blood flies through the open hole in the spear angel's back while Lucien's naginata destroys Its way through his body, killing him instantly.
Then Lucien quickly removes the golden naginata from the angel's body, and he falls to the ground.
Lucien swings the naginata to remove the blood from Its blade and then notices that his hand is no longer his but a familiar female hand.
"My Queen." He hears an unknown voice coming from behind him and realizes that he is no longer in Argerim. He is now reliving Aylin's memories again.
