Lust Knight

Chapter 445: You are my power (1/2)

"WHAT?!?!" Many angels get perplexed as they watch Alexa being thrown on the ground by Lucien's punch.

"How is that possible?!?!" They have seen him suffer countless blows and injuries, and it is evident that his body has long since been over the limit, and now he is crossing 'the far' beyond the limits.

Alexa is also shocked by his performance. It is not as if he is getting much stronger, but it is evident that he is evolving at a surreal pace.

She has also fought opponents stronger than herself many times to improve her combat techniques and push her body beyond the limits. That is one of the best forms of training out there. But Lucien is doing it at an unbelievable level.

[Where does he get so much power from?] She wonders as she quickly regains control of her body.

Meanwhile, all Lucien's wives have smiles on their faces, even though some of them still have tears either. He always surprises them by doing something impossible for everyone else. However, they know he is already out of energy, and there are still six minutes left until the challenge is over.

All of his wives, his sisters, and the Sin are going through the same situation. They believe in Lucien's incredible potential; they believe in his ability to do the impossible, but they wonder if he could really take more blows from Alexa without passing out.

"Even if..." Alexa makes a thoughtful expression while looking at Lucien. "You are really impressive, so we don't have to continue with this."

While Helena smiles, everyone is surprised, including Lucien. He looks Alexa in the eye. "Does that mean we can have an alliance?"

She slowly shakes her head. "I haven't decided that yet, but I can hear you. Isn't that what you want?"

"Yes..." He thinks aloud as he looks at his wives. They all send mental messages begging for him to accept Alexa's offer and not to fight more now.

He looks at Alexa again. "Why? Why stop now?"

She quickly responds. "I really don't like fighting against weaker opponents than me. I thought you were just a manipulative demon... and although I think that the talk about your treasures only working on women is bullshit, I see how you fight... You really look like an honorable person, so I'm willing to listen to your proposals for an alliance."

Lucien reflects on Alexa's words while looking at the blood on his hands. "This isn't right... that's not what we agreed on."

'What are you doing?!?!' Lust asks in his mind in a clearly upset tone. 'She agreed to hear you; you won. So don't look for ways to get beaten more; I really hate to watch you suffer...'

'This is not a victory.' He responds to Lust.

Then he talks to Alexa again. "We agreed to fight for ten minutes or until you knock me out."

She smiles. "I really respect that about you. But you see, you can't keep fighting; you can't even stand up properly... I have reason to keep beating you, and I don't want to humiliate you in front of your women."

"Thank you..." He smiles at her too, but that is not that provocative smile from before, but a gentle and friendly smile. "I really appreciate your good intentions, but..."

He lovingly smiles at his wives. "If I accepted it, I would be losing my whole face and humiliating myself. My wives did not choose me as their husband because I give up when things are difficult or because I am afraid of getting hurt."

Lucien's wives think like Lust and don't want to see him suffer anymore. But they also understand his way of thinking, or rather, they know about his proud and arrogant personality well. They love him the way he is and would never ask him to change because of them.

They stop begging him to stop fighting and accept what he says. Then he looks at Alexa again. "Also, if we become allies and one day we find ourselves in a very bad situation where your family depends on me, you won't want to see me give up, right?"

Alexa's eyes sparkle as she likes Lucien more and more. He still looks like a dangerous person, and she doubts many things, but not his character.

"I completely agree with your words." She speaks honestly. "And I apologize for offering you an unworthy path."

"No problem." Lucien amiably smiles as he shakes his head to wipe the blood off his hair. Even covered in blood, his charm affects all women there, including Alexa.

Then he materializes his red katana instead of the naginata. The golden naginata is made with the soul of Aylin, and therefore he is unable to use it to make special attacks, such as using his girls' wind mana to make wind slashes.

"Let's continue?" He asks as that excited and confident smile comes back to his face.

"Sure." Alexa prepares her sword as she starts to smile excitedly too. The more time she spends with Lucien, the more she wants to see what he can do.

"I'm going to start this time!" Lucien speaks as he flaps his wings and flies towards Alexa. He begins to swing his katana forward while Its blade starts to burn. On Angela's floating platform, Maggie smiles as she feels her fire mana arousing.

[Fire??? How many elements can you use?] Alexa thinks while Lucien surprises her again.

Yet, she does not retreat but flies in his direction, also initiating a strike with her sword. While everyone watches closely, her blade shines white and finds Lucien's burning blade.

*BAM* *SMASH*

Although Lucien's intentions are good and his will is unstoppable, Alexa's strength is far above what he can face now. His red katana breaks on the first contact with her sword.

Alexa does not back off her attack, but instead of using her sword's blade, she uses Its hilt to hit him in the face, throwing him backward. While he is still in the air, she flies on top of him and stomps on his chest, pressing him against the ground.

*BAM* *BOOOM*

Lucien's body creates a crater in the ground while Alexa continues to press on his chest, preventing him from moving. She then looks him in the eyes. "That was a good fight, and you are one of the best opponents I have ever faced."

"I don't say that because of your strength or skills, but because it is enjoyable to fight you... Although this could be better if you were at a higher power level." She continues.

He holds her foot with both hands and tries to lift it, but he doesn't have the strength to oppose her right now. "I'm glad you think so, but I can't say it was enjoyable to be beaten that much..."

"Of course." She laughs while admiring the fact that Lucien doesn't look sad or disappointed. "Well, I will finish this right now, and as soon as you wake up, I will listen to you as much as you want."

While Alexa talks to Lucien, everyone is watching them. The angels can't admire her more, but they also begin to admire Lucien. Even though he is a demon, and most of them are afraid and hate his race, they cannot help admiring a man so incredible, mentally and physically.

His troops still don't understand a lot about power realms, but they can see how strong Alexa is. Just the waves of force generated by their attacks are enough to throw their bodies away, even hundreds of meters away. So they understand that she is really strong, and they are very proud of Lucien for fighting her head-on.

His wives are also proud of him and how he never gives up. But they also feel bad about that ending. It is evident that he couldn't fight Alexa long before his energies run out.

But they feel that it is not good. They know how giant his ego is and how arrogant he is, but they love him that way. They want to see him always happy, and even if he wants to fight many enemies much stronger than him, they want to see him fighting... they always want to see that excited, confident, and arrogant smile on his face.

And seeing that he is about to be knocked out, his wives feel worthless. He's always helping them to get stronger, but they feel they can't help him as much as they want to.

Sophia, among all of them, knows that feeling most. She spent most of her life watching him being beaten and blaming herself for not being able to help him. She is the one who most believes in his strength and potential, but she is also the one who most wants to help him.

Now, seeing him in that state, she is furious with herself. She starts to think that she could have given him more life mana, could have gone to his side more quickly for them to start mixing their demonic energies earlier, or anything she could have done to help him.

And when the desire to help him reaches an unimaginable level, something magical begins to happen. Her energies start arousing inside her, and Lucien's tattoo on her low belly area begins to shine brightly purple.

Two magical strands of energy begin to emerge from that tattoo, one green and one white, flowing through the air towards Lucien.

'Sloth, what is this?' She asks as she runs her hand over those strands of energy.

'This...' Sloth is shocked when she sees those strands of energy. 'I have never seen anything like it... this is energies in their purest state. The white is your life mana, and the green is our demonic energy... is it flowing to Lucien?'

As Sophia starts to smile, she taps Amelia on the shoulder. "Can you see it, sister?"

Amelia looks to the side and sees Sophia moving her hand in the air. "What? I can't see anything there."

'It looks like only we can see it.' Sloth comments as he materializes her body and looks at her tattoo, which is not shining like Sophia's.

'Are you doing something? How did it start? ' Sloth asks while she is fascinated by that.

Sophia quickly explains. 'I don't know... I was just thinking of ways to help him.'

'Help him?' Sloth thinks. 'So it seems that you have channeled the desire to help him to the point of stating this energy transfer process... This may be an unknown ability of Lust or Lucien...'

"Can the others do it too?" Sophia is so excited about the chance to help Lucien that she talks to Sloth out loud, drawing the attention of the other girls.

Before Sloth answers, Sophia quickly looks at the other girls. "We can help Lucien!! You just focus your energies on him. Use all your will to try to transfer your energies to his body."

The possibility of helping Lucien is like the sun coming after the darkest night ever. His wives quickly do their best to follow Sophia's instructions and transfer their energies to him.

Doing something new and so amazing is not easy, but they have many seconds, thanks to the fact that Alexa is so reluctant to beat Lucien more.

The desire to help Lucien is so great in his wives that their bodies instinctively manage to activate that mysterious ability.

"Look, look!!! Is this working??" Cassidy asks as two strands of energy start to come out of her tattoo, one gray, which is her wind mana, and one purple, Lucien demonic energy in her body.

But the other girls can't see that, except for the Sins, thanks to their abilities. Sloth and the others begin to see strands of energy coming out of all Lucien's wives, including herself and Envy.

Those strands take energy to Lucien quickly while Alexa is about to knock him out. Lust is having a hard time restraining her desire to help him when she notices a lot of energy entering his body.

Lucien also notices his energies regenerating, which is strange. His life mana naturally regenerates, his demonic energy too, but Its potential depends on whether he is feeling pleasure, something that is not happening now.

Then he gets confused when all his energies start to increase to the point that he begins to feel the elemental manas of his wives clearly.

"Sweet dreams, Lucien..." Alexa says while thinking that ending the fight with only a blow will be less damaging to his pride and ego.

Then she starts a punch towards Lucien's head. She doesn't use much speed and force, trying not to deal any damage other than knocking him out.

He sees her fist in slow motion while his senses are more potent than ever. Then he also feels his strength not only coming back but exceeding his current limits.

Lucien manages to start lifting Alexa's foot, shocking her, Lust, and himself while wasting no time.

The loving smile on his face gets even brighter while he is so happy, not because he is getting the strength to keep fighting, but because he knows, within his soul and heart, where those energies are coming from.

'Our power is your power!' The voices of his wives echo in his mind as he manages to lift Alexa's foot with one hand and hold her fist with his other hand.

'You are my power!' He responds to his loved wives.
