"Lilith, kill Zero!"
Xalvar commanded.
Immediately after the command, Lilith changed from a defensive position to an attacking stance.
-WHOOSH!
-CLANK!
Lilith disappeared for a second and appeared in front of Zero. Zero blocked Lilith's attack with his sword and pushed her back. In the current state, Zero was stronger than Lilith.
If Zero fought Lilith seriously, he could have easily decimated Lilith but because of how much she resembled Lilith, Zero was not willing to do that.
After getting pushed by Zero, Lilith didn't stop. Immediately she launched another attack at Zero.
-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!
*****
Hiro, Lisa, Zion, and Syliva watched the battle with surprise. Lilith who easily overwhelmed them was easily being handled by Zero.
And there was Dark Energy that Zero was released that made them suspect whether Zero was their friend or enemy. In a normal situation, he would be their enemy since he used Dark Energy but considering that right now he is fighting with the Devil, it says otherwise.
Hiro was pondering whether he should help Zero or not. As a person who holds a grudge against Lilith and Xalvar, he should, but as the pinnacle of a person who believes in justice, he cannot see himself allying with someone who sold their soul to the Devil.
However, the person was Zero, whom he knows is a good person who helped him several times. He thought that, if Zero was going to be in trouble, at least he should repay him for what he owed him. He could not just watch Zero get killed by Lilith and Xalvar.
Lisa and Sylvia also wanted to help Zero regardless of whether Zero was a Devil Contractor or not. They were certainly surprised that Zero was using Dark Energy but that didn't mean much to them.
They knew Zero, at least better than most other people, and thought that he must have his own circumstances for being able to use Dark Energy. Not to mention, he was currently fighting against the enemy who was trying to kill them.
However, they also know their limits. They know that trying to help Zero with their measly power would only end up burdening him, so they refrained from interfering with the fight between Rank-A power.
-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!
Lilith fiercely attacked Zero but Zero was easily able to repel her attack. Just looking at the fight, one would guess that Lilith was no match for Zero but still Lilith attacked without stopping.
Xalvar was standing there happy at the development. To be able to witness the fight between two friends was what he liked the most. When toying with the enemy, he would always try to get them to fight by saying that the one who won would be left alive or whatnot.
Humans will turn their blades against one another even if the other party is their best friend in order to save themselves. However, Xalvar will nonetheless kill the winner and happily look at the face full of despair and regret who thought would be spared.
The situation was similar, but even more so since he had known Zero for so long and wanted to have him experience despair. He also knows how precious Zero was to Lilith and to see the same Lilith attacking Zero, he was exhilarated.
-CLANG! -CLANG! CLANK!
Nonetheless, things started to look boring after both Lilith and Zero were fine even after having battled for quite some time. He could see that Lilith would never be able to beat Zero despite the other going easy on her.
"Huh? He sure has become powerful!"
Xalvar was surprised.
He was already surprised when Zero was said to have reached Rank-C -, but the power he showed was several times higher than that. Zero's power was almost comparable to his.
"I already knew he had a good talent, but this is really surprising."
While he had been gone for 8 years, Zero was able to acquire such an incredible amount of power, which made Xalvar extremely curious. Other than finding joy in other people's misery, Xalvar also likes to search for a way to get stronger.
Clearly, the second reason was also to see other people's despair. As long as he gets stronger, he could make more people's lives miserable, so he also emphasizes getting stronger.
Initially, after that incident, he heard lots of people making Zero look like the culprit of that incident. He thought that Zero would lose all his will and become miserable, never thinking that he would become so strong.
"I am getting more and more interested in what happened to you. But I don't have a lot of time on my hands, let's finish this as soon as possible."
"Lilith, use your full power!"
Xalvar commanded.
Lilith, who was fighting with Zero, came to a halt and flew into the sky. Then she started to gather Dark Energy to execute her move.
Zero knew that Lilith was preparing to use some powerful attack next. It would take some time, as long as he could stop her from gathering the energy needed she would fail.
[ "Ice Creation" ]
Since it was hard for Zero to reach Lilith, he rose to a higher place by lifting himself by creating ice below his feet. He was soon within the range to intercept Lilith.
Just when he was about to attack Lilith,
-BANG!
"Keke… you should pay attention to your surroundings!"
Xalvar attacked him before Zero could react. Zero was kicked back to the ground.
"SIXTUS!"
Zero angrily looked at Xalvar. For the moment, he knew Xalvar was Sixtus, his hatred for him has maxed out. He even forgot that Lilith was getting ready to launch a powerful attack and was thinking about killing Xalvar.
[ "Demonic Emperor Sword: Extermination Blast" ]
Since Xalvar has presented himself before him, Zero didn't hold himself back and started to immediately use his deadly attack.
!!!
Xalvar looked at the attack that was coming on him. He never anticipated that Zero was that powerful. He came to stop Zero from interrupting Lilith and thought it would be an easy task.
Xalvar also immediately gathered his Dark Energy and shot a Dark beam to intercept the incoming attack.
However, the attack that Zero just launched was comparable to the Rank-A+ peak and was stronger than what Xalvar thought. Zero's attack destroyed Culver's attack and hit Xalvar.
-BOOM!
Zero looked in the sky where Xalvar was hit. He knew that the attack was not enough to kill Xalvar. If he caught him off guard, he could but because of Culver's attack, Demonic Emperor Sword: Extermination Blast power had decreased and was not enough to kill him.
He yearned to attack Xalvar more, but he looked at the side where Lilith was collecting Dark energy. If he kept on attacking Xalvar then his mana would be depleted which might not be enough to stop Lilith. So, despite wanting to kill Xalvar desperately, he refrained.
-SWISH!
"Hah… Hah…"
Just as Zero thought, Xalvar was not dead yet. He flapped his wings to disperse the smoke and looked quite injured. Blood was coming out from various parts of his body but as he was a Devil, it was nothing life-threatening and would instantly heal.
While Xalvar seemed fine on the outside, he was not on the inside. He felt humiliated that the weak kid he knew managed to injure him to this state.
"ZEEERRRRROO!"
Xalvar screamed angrily.
Until now, he thought Zero was just a piece of trash that he could kill whenever he wanted. But the truth was quite different than that.
Even though Zero was gathering mana to counter Lilith and was paying attention only to her, he felt quite satisfied when he heard Xalvar scream in anger.
"I will f**king kill you!"
Seeing Zero not paying attention to him, made his mood worse. It was like Zero was not even considering him as a threat at the moment. The one thing that he hates more than his prey slipping away from him is being underestimated by others.
"I will kill! Kill! Kill! …"
Xalvar muttered crazily as he also gathered his Dark Energy to attack.
Right now, because of the three of them gathering Dark Energy to launch powerful attacks, the concentration of Dark Energy had increased quite a bit and Hiro and others were struggling to stand on their feet because of that.
The first to attack was Lilith and Xalvar. Both of them threw a huge ball made of Dark Energy. Lilith's attack was 2x bigger and gave off a more dangerous vibe than Xalvar, but together the attacks were even more dangerous.
Hiro and others knew that if the attack hits, the area here would disappear from the map. The only choice would be to block the attack. Dodgin was not an option.
He looked at Zero who was calmly preparing his move.
( Can he counter that? )
Honestly, that would be a lie to say that he fully believes in Zero but at the moment that was his only choice.
He wished for Zero to succeed!
"Lilith, kill Zero!"
