Chapter 103 - 103: Discovered Weakness
"Hahaha!" Flourance was constantly mocking Lucifer without taking a break since he didn’t want to take the risk. He realized that letting Lucifer attack the parachute was worse for him.
Enraging Lucifer seemed like the best option at the moment to him.
"I can’t describe how happy I was to know that the bastard parents of yours were dead. It was bad that they took more people to death with them, though. Still, the good with their death was more prominent than the bad that came with the death of others."
"How about you stop this futile struggle? Stop resisting and accept your death? Do a favor on your parents. They must be missing you in hell."
"Just accept your death and go unite with them."
As Flourance talked to Lucifer, he subtly kept glancing at the ground to keep an approximate idea of the time he needed to land.
Lucifer heard the constant mocking of the man. Even though he knew what Flourance was trying to do, he couldn’t control himself. His parents were his reverse scale, and he couldn’t restrain himself whenever his parents were talked bad about.
This was the sole reason he had killed a man previously who hadn’t done anything terrible except mocking his Father.
Lucifer was the same this time. Even though he knew that attacking the Parachute was the best option to kill Flourance effectively, he didn’t do it.
He wanted to punish Flourance himself no matter how stupid he found his decision to be.
He was about to attack Flourance, but as he changed his plan at the last moment, he changed his target too. Instead of attacking the Parachute of Flourance, he lowered his hand a few inches and moved it towards the left before the Lightning Bolt was fired.
The lightning flickered and wrapped around itself as it zoomed ahead.
Vey continued attacking as he saw Lucifer was about to attack Flourance, but his face went pale as if he had lost all blood from his body at the sight of the aim being shifted to him.
The biggest problem with the Delta Squad now was that they were at the mercy of the parachutes, thus making it not as efficient for them to dodge. If there weren’t such limitations, they wouldn’t have died so easily.
Vey also had a hard time dodging. He started struggling to dodge, but he failed as the lightning bolt penetrated his forehead, making him scream in pain before his eyes went blank. His eyes lost their light.
Even though Lucifer had killed another Variant, he didn’t even wait to watch the man die. His blood was boiling already as he flew straight towards Flourance.
Flourance watched Lucifer fly towards him, but instead of looking concerned, there was a smirk on his face. His plan had worked.
"As expected. No matter how strong or fierce he is. He is still a kid and has a childish tendency. He might have faced a few things that formed his world beliefs, but he still doesn’t have true maturity," he thought as he gazed at enraged Lucifer coming towards him.
Gret and Oayne were on the side, acting like spectators since they couldn’t join the battle anyway. They weren’t able to attack in long-range, and they didn’t wish to do that either.
They had already seen their friends die. They didn’t wish to join the group without being able to fight back. Instead, they wished to stay silent and be ignored.
Flourance could see Lucifer packing his fist, which seemed to be filled with immense strength, which Lucifer threw towards his chest.
’Good. Attack me. Only a few more minutes and I can be in a safe zone to land even without Parachute,’ Flourance thought as he used his spatial Displacement ability.
Lucifer’s fist passed through the chest of Flourance, unable to touch him. Flourance was still there, going down slowly. He looked as real as he always did, but his body had temporarily shifted to a separate space which made him impervious to all attacks.
He waited for Lucifer to pull back his hand; however, that didn’t happen. Lucifer kept his hand stabbed in the chest of Flourance as he floated down slowly with him.
The confidence on Flourance’s face had disappeared as he saw that. His displacement ability was temporary, so he needed to return to the real space, but as Lucifer wasn’t taking his hand away, that made it difficult for him.
If Lucifer’s hand was still there when his ability stopped working, he was going to be gravely injured. Only a few people knew about this limitation since he never let it become known. He always made sure that people only knew his strong side.
Only because of this limitation, he had lost in the battle against Xander Blake. In this battle, he was already doing good. He was keeping up, but that was only for as long as Xander was playing around.
When he saw Xander getting serious, he had immediately surrendered only because he didn’t want his limitation to be exposed.
Xander was the leader of Delta Squad, who was also known as the Flame Wizard. He was a strong and powerful warlock who rarely got serious in battle, but his flames were said to be capable of burning everything when he did.
Flourance knew that Xander would burn the whole field, and his flames were able to burn for hours without dying. So his temporary Spatial Displacement ability was useless. With surrender, he saved the limitation of his body from being exposed.
The only person who had managed to guess about this limitation was Xander, but he didn’t expose it.
The same thing was happening here. If Lucifer didn’t take out his hand, Flourance was going to be gravely injured.
Not taking the risk and feeling the urgency of time, Flourance decided to take action.
He brought his right hand out of Spatial Displacement and punched towards Lucifer’s chest to throw him back.
