The sizzling, the waving, the swiftness of the killing. I was too distracted in my butchering to notice that Kurenai had spared me a nervous and uneasy glance from the very moment I had deployed the Light-powered blade.
Delving deeper in the ranks of the grunts keeping us from the only way to reach the upper floors, I really felt the strain after five solid minutes of brutal fighting continued.
It was a war of attrition waged from the desperate Yokais responsible for this attack, but none managed to land any injury on us.
We were too careful of our surroundings to let anything go unanswered with twice the brutality they were mustering.
The Goblins turned into true pests in that claustrophobic situation, but by following Orcbolg's wise words, I started to spread my eternal hatred for those little bastards.
Still, the slaying wasn't as repetitive as I expected as part of the mob was doing its best to actively avoid direct fighting. We weren't merciful, nor we were disgusted by this mere fact.
These monsters had warranted all of this. For whatever reason they had decided to kill so many people here, they still had blood in their hands and souls.
I wasn't going to be impolite and let them go unpunished for the atrocities they had committed.
With the group making its way through the staircase, the noises that were coming from the rooftop seemed to grew more intense.
The fight was intensified as we were moving, and we didn't stop by any other floors for that very reason.
I felt winded, but my Core was still producing plenty of energy to keep up for some big battle, especially for one that seemed to be waiting for us right at the final floor of this place.
And then… we were there.
A gust of wind greeted our arrival, and our eyes were quickly fixed at the ongoing brawl. My eyes widened for two specific reasons.
The first issue was that I now had sight over the two VIPs we were meant to rescue from the current assault.
The blue-haired woman that was now recoiling from the last punch thrown by her opponent was almost too difficult to recognize at first sight, but then I saw whom the lady was defending and got a full understanding of the situation.
Ingvild looked positively worried as she tried to sing and boost Tiamat, yet the human form of the dragon wasn't capable of withstanding the attacks coming from her attacker.
Panic swelled at the sight of the cackling old bastard, and my brain visualized the only character that perfectly matched with the degree of pure madness and deviousness displayed before my eyes.
Silver hair, hazel eyes, an evil goatee and… a sadistic smile plastered on his malicious expression.
Rizevim Livan Lucifer, son of the Original Lucifer, looked to be having a blast in winning that one-sided fight, the Super-Devil having an easy time dealing with someone the caliber of Tiamat and…
"Shit has hit the fan," I muttered quickly, glancing to Vali and hoping that he wasn't planning to rush at his creepy grandfather. "We need to contact Baraqiel, we need the big boss here. Now."
Kurenai nodded, bringing up a communication seal and preparing to contact the man but… the spell didn't work. We were still magically cut off from contacting back to the headquarters.
I tensed up at this remembrance, but nothing matched the fright growing behind my chest at a certain individual landing in front of us.
His hair was similar to Rizevim, but his eyes were a dark tint of red. Just like blood.
The former head of the Lucifuge Clan, Euclid Lucifuge offered a cold but curious look at us, taking two steps to approach.
"Grigori dispatched a new team? I'm impressed by Azazel's foolish efforts to stop my Lord from achieving his goals and-"
"Boo-oring~!"
I blinked in surprise, my attention quickly directed at Rizevim as the jerk gave us an amused look.
"Come on, Euclid," He continued with a faux irked tone. "You promised me you wouldn't have been a pompous bastard just for once. Do the world a favor, would you?!"
There was an embarrassed look on the younger man's face.
"My apologies… Lord Rizevim," The Lucifuge muttered quietly, turning back once more on us. "But now, I shall take care of you all."
I almost snorted in a moment of nervous amusement. "I really see why your sister hates you."
Rizevim chuckled at the comment.
But it soon proved to be a terrible mistake from my part, especially when the receiver of such an insult is a closet siscon. I realized it when he rushed at me with his right fist cocked and ready to slam my head away from my body.
Ducking and letting the hit pass over my mask, I tried to punch back the now-close Super-Devil, only for my fist to be caught by his other hand and forcefully squeezed and half-crushed.
I gritted my teeth as I felt some of my bones creaking at the pressure, but I quickly retaliated by pulling his hand towards me.
He looked surprised and confused by the gesture, yet he soon realized what was going on when Kurenai brought her lance down, cleaving his arm down from his elbow up to his hand.
Removing the severed limb, I saw Vali jumping at the opportunity by driving a Wind-based spell onto the unprotected opening that led to the man's chest.
It seemed like a smart move, but one that wasn't taking under consideration how magically versed the Lucifuge Clan was.
A barrier appeared between Euclid and the enchanted punch, stopping it from doing any damage on the pompous jerk.
Still, the silver-haired minion was forced to back away from the close encounters, just enough to re-evaluate the situation and let his arm regenerate.
"Now, this is quite a surprise. I hadn't expected for a group to be able of giving such a… coherent response to my first strike,"
He commented with a hint of awe, only for his face to harden up in irritation as more chuckles came from his Lord's direction. "But I will see to reward you with quick deaths."
