She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 267 - Power Display

Lucifer exhaled and put his arms behind his back. He then began to walk towards the area that would lead to their normal fighting spot. Theodore also walked alongside Lucifer. He was more pumped up than before for this fight.

Lucifer turned his head to the side and asked, almost sounding irritated by this undying madness of his brother, "Just when are you going to stop being so bull-headed, Theo? Do you like getting beaten up by me so much? Just accept that you can never win against me!"

He playfully kicked Theodore on his butt and shouted, "Go home and get some sleep rather than making me agitated and wreaking havoc here on Hell." He let out an exasperated sigh and mumbled, "What did I ever do to have an arrogant brat like you as a younger brother?"

Theodore smirked and took this chance to put forth his demand again. "If you had gifted me what I had demanded then I wouldn't have troubled you so much. You are the one to make things harder for yourself."

Lucifer gave a menacing look to Theodore and spoke in a mocking tone, "Yes, of course. Why don't I simply gift you the most dangerous weapon in existence and face another wrath of our father if you do something that angers him?"

He clicked his tongue and continued, "I'll pass. I would rather fight you every day till eternity, rather than let you roam freely with the deadliest sword."

Theodore gave a sinister smirk to his brother and asked sarcastically, "Do you think that I would never surpass your power level? Quit dreaming, Samael. I will definitely win you and claim the sword that you have promised to give me if I win against you."

Lucifer furrowed his brows and glared at Theodore. And he ordered in a chilling cold voice, "Don't call me by that name if you don't want me to kill you. I have already forsaken that identity and you know it."

Theodore chuckled and put his arm around his brother's shoulder. And he spoke in a cheery voice, "That was your punishment for letting Cerberus loose on me."

Lucifer gave a corner-eyed look to Theodore and asked, "Why are you behaving all happy today? Did something extremely good happen to you? You have not smiled this much in years. Where did your gloomy persona disappear?"

Theodore grinned ear to ear and said, "Adeline remembered me. She came to find me on her own. And she said I look beautiful even in my Devil form."

The corner of Lucifer's lips curved up a little. He had heard about Adeline. And he also knew everything that Azriel did to her. He was the only one whom Theodore could confide in during his darkest moments.

"That's wonderful news then. I would have loved to meet her if that was possible." Lucifer didn't say anything more than that.

Theodore sighed. "I also would have loved to introduce her to you," he replied in a bit of a sad tone.

He was sad because it was impossible for the two of them to meet. Lucifer was not allowed to leave Hell. And Adeline was a human who could never enter Hell unless… unless she was dead and was a sinner.

The two of them reached in front of a circular wall in the middle of an empty ground. Lucifer waved his hand to create a portal on that wall. The wall shimmered in a light hue of red.

And the two brothers entered through that portal and reached the middle of nowhere, a place with endless darkness stretched out till infinity where the concept of time and space worked abnormally.

In the past, they would simply have a friendly sparring session in front of Lucifer's mansion itself. But then, Azriel happened. Theodore began to take the fights more and more seriously. And his power was also growing exponentially because of all the trouble that he caused back on Earth and in Hell.

Thus, they had their fights in the abyss of nowhere because they could make everything in Hell crumble if they started to fight there demonstrating their full power. And they did not want to be responsible for the destruction of Hell.

They took their respective position and hovered in the middle of nowhere while facing each other. Until a while ago, both of them were smiling and teasing each other. But now, they were glaring at each other with the intention to kill.

"I guess we are going to skip the normal fist-fight and start using our full strength right off the bat?" Lucifer's hoarse voice resounded far and wide making him sound terrifying.

"Of course," Theodore replied in an equally menacing voice.

And almost in an instant, both of them transformed into their ultimate form. Theodore displayed his black wings and horns.

While Lucifer displayed his massive wings and large black horns. His wings were something that even the angels were envious as well as terrified of. Unlike Theodore's, Lucifer's wings were pure white in color. They looked as though each and every feather were handmade by God himself. But the edges of his white wings glowed red with Hellfire. A swipe from his wings and any mystical being would be turned into nothing but dust.

The brothers readied themselves to tackle each other. They were exuding such an immense aura that if any other mystical beings were around them, they would most probably faint just by looking at the aura.

Lucifer flapped his wings consecutively to create a tornado in the place where Theodore was. And Theodore released his dark mists from his whole body to create his own tornado that countered the one that Lucifer was creating.

Both of their tornados vanished into nothingness. Lucifer then gritted his teeth and his eyes glowed even more. Theodore already knew what was coming so he used his recently unlocked skill and created a large shield out of his dark mist. Right then, a large fireball crashed on that shield and that shield disappeared along with the fire.

Lucifer was using normal fire rather than the Hellfire for this attack because he did not want to accidentally kill his own brother. He narrowed his eyes and smirked, "You've improved a little." He then clenched his fists and they were both glowing with fire. He shot himself towards Theodore while growling, "But not enough to defeat me."

Theodore also clenched both of his fists and covered them with spikes made out of his mist. Then he zoomed towards Lucifer with equal eagerness to punch a hole through his brother's body.

Both of them flew towards each other while giving off loud battle cries.

Then in another second, both of their fists collided together sending a huge shockwave all around the place. But the two of them did not even move an inch even after such great attacks on each other.

Lucifer looked at Theodore with great surprise. "Don't tell me your power level is already on par with mine."

This came as a surprise to Theodore as well. He would have been thrown away like a rag doll when Lucifer would punch him with this seriousness.. He looked into Lucifer's stunned eyes and said in disbelief, "I guess we will have to do a rematch to confirm that."
