Chapter 816 Face To Face
From amongst the pitch darkness and the purple lightning, a pair of sinister red eyes glared at Rudra as for the first time ever Rudra saw Lucifer in his real form.
He wore a Black and Red armour that covered every inch of his body from the tip of his toes to the bone of his jaw with just a little opening on the back of the armour to accomodate his black angel wings , which were currently folded.
The material used in his armour was undoubtedly the same mysterious black crystal that Rudra had seen on the top of the mage tower in the ancient ruins , however it was perfectly molded into an armour for the devil , despite it being a brittle crystal that would bend rather than break which made it very peculiar.
Carved within the armour were blood red runes that were written in ancient language as well , however one look through the heaven's eyes and it revealed that it was none other than angel blood!
The runes that powered Lucifer's defenses literally ran on the blood of the other Archangel's as fuel as he found traces of Micheal, Suriel and Raphael's blood in his armour.
Currently the devil rode a mutated red dragon , who was at a staggering tier 5 strength. The dragon was covered in hard scales and it's eyes reflected it's intelligence, it was not a mindless beast but rather an extremely smart one and a threat that Rudra needed to take seriously.
Plated in mithril with a massive spike ball attached to its tail , the dragon was a war mount for sure and it seemed as if it had served Lucifer for a long long time.
The most striking feature about the devil was his eyes , blood red it looked like the manifestation of all evil which was ironically true for Lucifer, however coupled with his deviously handsome face and his flowing black hair it could easily steal the hearts of many women eventhough bloodthirst was plastered all over it today.
Lucifer snapped his fingers and Rudra felt the connection to the outside world being cut off as although his immediate surroundings had not changed he felt as if he was no longer at the coast of river Thames anymore but rather an isolated space controlled by Lucifer.
Rudra was thankful that Omar was beside him now as if the phoenix was currently beside him then today would undoubtedly be the last day for him in Omega, however with Omar there was a slight chance of making it out of this damned place alive.
Omar whispered " He has locked space around us , nobody can get in or out of this darkness anymore , Hades won't be able to enter ".
Rudra nodded , he was not one to show weakness to his hated enemy although no reinforcements were going to arrive for him he would fight with a straight spine and till the bitter end .
" King Shakuni Of The Elites, alas we meet again ". Lucifer said as he smiled his devious smile , his sharp pointy teeth like those of a vampire on full display.
However it was a mirthless smile , hate dripped from every inch of Lucifer's face when he said those words and he did not try to hide it.
" Beast king Omar , what an absolute displeasure to see you as well , i thought you were long buried but i guess I can still harvest some of that Nirvana flame essence from your body eh? Would fuel my palace lanterns forever ". Lucifer said as he showed blatant disregard to Omar's status as his superior in terms of levels and talked to him as if he was just as weak as Rudra.
However Omar took no offense, calm as an ocean he replied " Well , i had to come out someday to avenge my brother's , so yeah although my shoulder aches a bit from now fighting for a millenium i think i can blow your mount to ashes with one blow of air from my mouth ".
Lucifer's dragon roared under his feet as Lucifer surveyed the situation.
He had clearly made up his mind to kill Rudra today however he had not expected to see Omar alongside him as well.
Clapping his hands Lucifer chanted an ancient spell as every single one of Rudra's undead who were tier 3 and 4 and sprawled on the ground below were reduced to a pool of black goo as they died.
Rudra widened his eyes in shock , although he knew that Lucifer could kill them easily he never expected it to be so easy ! The other party had not even used a move!
However in response to this Omar only flicked his hand and the entire demon army was covered in a sea of flames as they were reduced to a pile of ashes as well within 15 seconds.
Lucifer seemed to ignore Rudra now as he stared down the phoenix, and Omar did not back down from the devil's gaze at all but instead transformed into his Phoenix form and took it to the skies as his flames burnt like the bright sun in the dark world of Lucifer, illuminating everything under him.
The devil too responded to this threat seriously as he unfolded his black wings and matched Omar's height as his dragon landed on the ground and roared nefariously towards Rudra.
Rudra gulped as he saw the true extent of the power of the god's , while he could level a city alone if given a chance and topple an entire kingdom given enough time , the true god's could kill 15 million troops with a flick of their fingers.
For the first time in a long time , Rudra felt truly out of place and out of his league in a battle and with his future sight on cooldown he no longer had his Trump move that could be used to neutralize the devil.
He was in a bad bad position for now hanging by the mercy of the god's.
