Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Fight until Death

While Lucifer was still lying on the floor, unable to move an inch, Owen entered the living room, followed by a man with a sinister face, and that man was wearing a white coat, looking like he was a scientist or a doctor.

But Lucifer didn't have time to figure out who the other man was. Owen's entrance also meant that Lucifer's precious rest time was over.

Reina immediately turned off the TV and got off the sofa, stretching a few times before walking out of the living room.

Lucifer couldn't be outdone by Drifting Aurora either. He forced himself to stand up and succeeded by some miracle. But his body was still trembling slightly.

"Let's go Lucifer." Owen said.

"Where are we going?"

"To the combat training room, of course?" Owen smiled leisurely.

Seeing that smile, Lucifer had thought that Owen was a devil in human form for a brief moment. He hadn't even fully recovered yet and Owen was already forcing him to continue training.

Although he was mad, Lucifer had no choice but to follow the two men.

***

Following Owen's instructions, Lucifer was now in a room that was all white. This room was also extremely large and had an extremely high ceiling.

This was indeed a suitable place for combat training.

"Hey Owen, what should I do now?" Lucifer asked while looking at a wooden sword that Owen had given him just now.

"You go fight Reina, fight until one side is no longer able to fight. And then the man standing next to me will heal you two and you two will continue fighting."

Hearing that, the sword that Lucifer was holding almost fell to the floor. He glanced slightly at Reina, realizing that the girl was preparing to beat him to a pulp.

It seemed that Drifting Aurora had known about this beforehand.

"Wait, why do we have to fight? Don't I have to learn martial arts or swordsmanship?" Lucifer asked.

"Of course not. When you fight, you have to use everything you have, and you can't go easy on your opponent. Moreover, you will also learn something through each battle or learn some new techniques from your opponent. This is also how Reina trained."

Lucifer was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure. He gripped the sword tightly and stared at Drifting Aurora.

Lucifer had always wanted to fight the girl to prove who was stronger. If Lucifer won, he wouldn't have to feel afraid when facing Reina anymore.

She was the one who needed to be careful when talking to him.

But that was only if Lucifer won.

Without further ado, Owen immediately started the battle by shouting loudly:

"The battle begins now!"

'Not only is his body big, but his shouting is also very loud.'

Lucifer's plan was…he didn't have any plan to defeat Reina. All Lucifer could think about was to charge towards Reina and beat her up.

And maybe Lucifer would summon Nothing to help him in the fight. That way, his chances of winning against Drifting Aurora would improve quite a bit.

But just as Lucifer was about to charge towards Reina, the girl was no longer there.

'Huh?'

Reina seemed to have disappeared into thin air without leaving a trace. Perhaps Drifting Aurora had an Ability that made her invisible or teleported to another place.

Lucifer still held the sword tightly and stood still in that position. He activated all his senses, trying to find traces of the girl.

But then another strange event happened before Lucifer's eyes. Just 3 seconds after Reina disappeared, the girl reappeared in the same place, the place before she completely disappeared.

She stood still with her arms crossed, Reina looked quite calm, without any defense. She didn't even pay any attention to Lucifer. Drifting Aurora had let her guard down.

Although he didn't know what had just happened, this was his chance. Lucifer had to approach Drifting Aurora quickly and attack her with this wooden sword.

Lucifer rushed towards Reina, but then he realized that his body could no longer move.

'What's going on?'

Not only his legs, but even his arms could no longer move. His entire body was paralyzed for some reason. Not only that, Lucifer's body was also very sore.

Just like that, Lucifer fell to the floor before he could do anything. His body hit the floor hard, but he still couldn't control his body.

'What just happened? Why am I in this state?'

Lucifer didn't know what Drifting Aurora had just done, but he could be sure that he had just been defeated just a few seconds after the battle began. What was even more humiliating was that his opponent wasn't even using a weapon, just using his bare hands.

The man with the sinister face quickly approached Lucifer and healed him. A warm, comfortable green aura suddenly appeared around his hand and gradually moved to Lucifer's body.

Lucifer slowly felt his body relax, he was able to move again, but Lucifer still didn't understand why he was defeated.

"Surprised, right Lucifer?" Owen smiled as he approached the boy, as if he already knew that Lucifer would be defeated miserably.

"Owen, do you know what just happened?"

"Of course I know. Reina has an Ability which is called Faster Than Light, which means it can increase the user's movement speed, not only that, it can also increase Reina's attack speed. In those few seconds, Reina used her Ability to approach you, then she delivered thousands of punches to your body, that's why you're like this now. Oh right, if Reina had used a weapon, the battle would have ended even faster."

Lucifer was speechless, unable to say anything but admire Drifting Aurora's luck and skill.

Not only was she lucky to have an Ability a lot more useful than him, she was also proficient in many martial arts and was good at using weapons. As expected of a descendant of a world-famous clan.

'I wish I could be as lucky as her.'

"Alright Lucifer, since you've fully recovered, it's time to start the next battle." Owen said cheerfully.

Lucifer stared at the man, speechless. Owen was truly a demon in human form.
