BXBX NOVEL Chapter 447: Heaven Punishment
Chapter 447: Heaven Punishment
*BAM* *CLANG* *WHOOSH*
The sounds of the battle of Lucien and Alexa continue to echo as everyone watches them with impressed and respectful expressions. Just as Lucien\'s group admires Alexa\'s strength, the angels recognize how amazing he is.
Rose flies next to Daisy\'s side, and they both look at him with bright eyes while Pride and Eve still have poker faces because of the reason that Lucien is fighting Alexa.
The aura that comes from those brutal attacks makes Eve rethink her strength. Then she talks to Pride mentally. \'Do you think we could...\'
\'No.\' Pride responds quickly. \'Not now... maybe in a few months, but definitely not now; She is much stronger than usual angels.\'
\'So Luci...\' Eve smiles as she makes a proud expression. \'He\'s a lot stronger than us, right?\'
\'No...\' Pride responds with a hesitant tone. \'Well, I don\'t think so. You see, all his wives are sending their energies to him; that\'s, the stupid angel doesn\'t know that he is cheating.\'
Eve looks at Lucien\'s wives, including Sophia and Amelia. \'But isn\'t he the main reason why they have such power? I mean, isn\'t Lust\'s power to strengthen his partners? So how can it be cheating when he borrows the power he himself gave them?\'
\'...\' Pride can\'t deny that Eve\'s words make sense. As much as she wants to find faults in Lucien\'s actions, he looks perfect in every way. And that makes her uncomfortable.
Although Lucien has so much demonic energy now, he still doesn\'t have a real advantage over Alexa. Her strength, agility, soul weapons, and especially her skills are incredible.
Alexa keeps throwing him on the ground again and again, but he keeps getting up and attacking her. He could stay on the defensive and use his teleport skill to keep his distance from her, but he doesn\'t. And that makes Alexa, like all the other angels, admire him more.
That battle generates so much demonic energy for almost all the sins there, except Sloth. People envy them a lot; men cannot help wanting to have Lucien\'s strength, just as women want to be as amazing as Alexa.
The angels are angry whenever Lucien hits Alexa, just like his girls are angry with her whenever she hits him. Wrath is also benefiting greatly from Donna\'s anger at herself for not being able to help her beloved little brother.
Pleasure is involved in many ways, mostly coming from Lucien and Alexa, while they enjoy that fight a lot. The spectators also enjoy watching that show.
But the feeling of respect still prevails the most abundant. The House Crassus and Corvus angels\' admiration for Alexa is endless, just as the respect that all Lucien girls have for him.
Lust and Envy already know Lucien\'s capacity to generate demonic energy, not only for him but for everyone around him. However, Pride and Wrath are beginning to understand that now.
Wrath has no words to describe what she is seeing. It is normal for her hosts to defeat opponents even one realm above them, but she never thought that one person could fight another being more than two realms above.
Lucien is not winning the fight, and he doesn\'t seem capable of that, but everyone can see that Alexa is exceptional, and even so, they seem to tie in some moves.
A part of Pride is furious that Lucien wants to make an alliance with angels, even though Sloth has explained something about those angels not wanting to serve the Gods. Yet, she can\'t help but enjoy that fight, specifically the moments that Lucien hits Alexa.
Even though he is not her host, Lucien and his sisters are a family. The Sins and their hosts are more united than ever, and the success of one is the success of them.
Before Pride realizes, she is already cheering for Lucien to win, not just resist ten minutes, but totally defeat Alexa, even though it seems impossible.
Eve has a hard time not attacking Alexa every time Lucien\'s blood is dropped, and Sophia has to hold her, telling her to believe in him.
Meanwhile, Daisy is increasingly shocked by Lucien. He never ceases to amaze her, be it about his strength or his character. Every second she spends with him, she likes and admires him more.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
Alexa hits a series and punches and kicks on Lucien\'s chest, throwing him to the ground again.
*Blink*
But before reaching the ground, he teleports, leaving Alexa confused. She never knows where Lucien will appear again as he varies between behind, on the side, and in front of her.
Then, she immediately begins to spin her body, starting a whirlwind to hit him in any direction he appears.
However, Lucien reappears below Alexa, surprising her. He quickly strikes upwards with his golden naginata using as much speed as he can.
[What?!?!] Alexa notices his movements and tries to fly upwards quickly.
But the naginata\'s blade hits her foot, piercing her incredible armor in one of its weakest points and making a superficial cut on her foot.
"AH!" Alexa feels her foot burn while even her soul seems to hurt. But she quickly succeeds in putting several meters of distance between her and Lucien.
"Luci!!!" Eve exclaims with a proud smile on her face as she and all Lucien\'s wives are excited.
"Yeah!!" Pride\'s lips curl in a smile as she gets so excited that she doesn\'t realize that she is also looking like all Lucien\'s wives.
Then she notices Wrath\'s frown and quickly makes a neutral expression. Pride can feel that Wrath\'s great admiration for her is slowly decreasing, just as she feels that everyone\'s admiration for Lucien only increases.
She could be upset about that, but in fact, that is still beneficial to her. It doesn\'t matter how many people respect Lucien, Eve is one of the people he respects most. In fact, she was always second in his heart, only having less importance than his mother, who now he doesn\'t know what to think about.
Thus, the cycle of demonic energy generated by respect and admiration flows from everyone to Lucien and from him to Eve, strengthening her and Pride.
And the fight continues. Alexa uses light and wind skills, while Lucien uses everything he can. Each time he uses Rose\'s earth mana, the little vampire smiles, just like Maggie, Mia, Madelyn, and his other wives smile when he uses their manas. Knowing that they are helping him makes them very happy.
Time continues to pass, and as soon as Lucien loses the notation of it, he hears Lena\'s voice. "Just one more minute!! You can do it, hubby!!!"
Lena\'s shout breaks the silence and motivates other girls to cheer for Lucien in a loud tone.
"GO!! Hubby!!"
"Yeah!! You can win!!"
"Just a little more!!"
"Yes, Master!!"
Even his troops begin to demonstrate how they believe in Lucien, making the angels uncomfortable. They want to cheer for Alexa too, but saying things like that would make them sound like they need to motivate her, and it should be impossible for her to lose that battle.
After having some wing feathers burned by the purple flames of Lucien\'s katana, Alexa stops in the air and removes those feathers while looking at him. "Your girls trust your strength a lot."
Lucien wipes the blood off his face as he smiles. "They\'re doing much more than just cheering..."
"So this flow of energy..." Alexa makes a thoughtful expression. "I thought I was wrong, but they are somehow sending their energies to you, right?"
"That is complicated..." Lucien knows that talking about Sins and demonic energy will only make Alexa more confused. "Yes, they are sending me energy. Do you think it is cheating?"
She smiles. "I\'ve seen people share specific manas, but I\'ve never seen anyone do anything like that... you\'re not even close to them. Anyway, if that\'s one of your abilities, I think it\'s fair that you use it in combat."
"Actually..." She speaks honestly. "I think that even it doesn\'t make this battle fair considering the huge difference in our power levels. I can only say that you are wonderful."
Lucien chuckles. "Oh no, please; don\'t praise me like that, or I\'ll think you like me."
"Humph..." Alexa tries to make a fake upset expression, but she ends up smiling. "Anyway, I haven\'t tried some of my best skills yet as they would be quite deadly..."
Then she looks at Lucien\'s handsome and perfect face, completely recovered from all the wounds she caused there. "But I think it\'s okay to try just one since your looks really immortal..."
He nods. "Yeah, try it, but you better be quick because your time is running out."
"Yeah, let\'s do it now..." Alexa holds her shield in front of her and puts the blade of her sword on top of it, aimed in the direction of Lucien.
Her sword and shield begin to glow with an intense and powerful white light, forcing Lucien to make a small barrier of demonic energy in front of his eyes to continue looking at her.
Alexa\'s smile becomes even brighter while she really wants Lucien to remain standing after that attack. "If you survive this, it means that you won, and I will give you a standing ovation."
Lucien holds his red katana and naginata in front of him while he smiles provocatively. "The deal was for you to lie on my lap, though."
While the angels are angry with Lucien for his daring, a slight flush begins to appear on Alexa\'s face. "Whatever... I\'m going."
"Come on; I\'m ready." He nods.
Alexa\'s shield light starts to get brighter and brighter, making it harder for everyone to see her body. A large circle of light with several different symbols appears behind her while those symbols also appear over her skin, but it is not possible to see it due to her heavy armor.
Helena is shocked when she realizes what Alexa is about to do. She quickly looks at Lucien\'s wives on Angela\'s floating platform. "You have to go back!! And make as many barriers as you can around his troops!"
Lucien\'s wives don\'t think twice about doing that. Neola, Kylee, and Lorelai order the troops to retreat quickly while Daisy quickly creates stone barriers in their direction. Pride also creates demonic energy barriers around Angela\'s floating platform.
Meanwhile, Lust advises Lucien to use the teleport skill to avoid that attack as he only needs fifteen seconds to win the challenge.
But Lucien refuses to do that. He wants to block that attack head-on and prove to Alexa that he can be her best ally. Also, his ego would not let him run away from that attack, losing all his face, especially in front of Pride.
Then he keeps his golden naginata forward and his katana behind it, making a defensive X-shaped position.
Alexa can see in Lucien\'s eyes that he won\'t run away, even though her aura gets absurdly powerful. Then she flaps her wings and flies towards him.
Still keeping her shield upfront and her sword on top of it, Alexa flies at incredible speed while her body shines like a star. Rays of light come out of the symbols of the bright circle behind her and come together in a single point, at the very tip of her blade.
"HEAVEN PUNISHMENT!!!" She shouts as she pushes her shield and sword towards Lucien.
The massive amount of light energy in Alexa\'s shield and sword explodes as she pushes it forward, hitting Lucien\'s golden naginata when he blocks it.
*BAM* *FLASH*
Lucien feels Alexa\'s brutal strength push him harder than ever while a lot of light energy attacks his body from all sides.
He focuses on all the energies that have to boost his body, creating layers of purple stone around his skin while his red katana glows with purple flames.
*BOOOOOOOM*
Then his energies in contact with Alexa\'s energies create an incredibly powerful explosion of energies, throwing everything around away.
Almost all of Daisy\'s barriers break, but the troops manage to get away in time, and none of them get hurt. Pride\'s barrier is still intact, but the powerful barrier of the angels breaks, and many of them are pushed back by that massive force, not dying, though.
The bodies of Lucien and Alexa are thrown back a mile in opposite directions, and both fall to the ground, with several superficial wounds over their bodies.
Alexa breathes heavily while not getting up from the ground. Her eyes still shine with excitement as she fears to see Lucien\'s current state.
[He... he did it, right? He... must have succeeded...] She starts to wonder.
Then, as the dust settles, she sees the silhouette of a winged figure appear in front of her. The golden-purple spots in the dust make it clear who it is, making her smile even more.
"It was close..." Lucien comments as he extends his hand to Alexa.
