"Is it finally at the top?" Mephistopheles collapsed to the ground, panting.

Lucifer felt that his legs were no longer his own, and even though he had reached the top of the altar, the muscles of his legs were still shaking.

But they didn't care so much now, for a long sword without a scabbard was sitting there on the arc-shaped offering table in front of them.

It was a one-handed crosssword, with two deep blood grooves on its body, but two side blades extending from both ends of the hilt, which gave it an indescribable sense of disobedience. There wasn't much decoration on the hilt, the only thing that stood out was the diamond-shaped, dark purple gem, which Mephistopheles knew was called: Heart of Eternal Darkness. Just as it is meant to convey, it symbolizes Satan's eternal heart that has fallen into darkness.

"After so much effort, I finally got it. Mephistopheles sighed as she looked at the sword of Satan that exuded the aura of death in front of her.

"Needless to say, what we have to do is quickly grab the sword and leave. Lucifer pushed himself to his feet, reaching out like a sword of Satan.

The moment he grabbed the hilt of the sword, dark purple energy suddenly gushed out, and a huge energy wave directly knocked Lucifer to the ground. "Do you have such great power?" Lucifer's body was torn open with deep wounds, and red blood slowly oozed from the wounds. "Sure enough, he is the only one who can compete with my father, and he is so powerful just because of the remnants of the relics!"

Mephistopheles looked at Lucifer, who was covered in bruises, and sighed: "As an angel, you can't afford it, only the power of darkness can balance the power of darkness." ”

He immediately reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, but the sword did not turn against him as it did to Lucifer, and even stood still like a windless pool without wavering. "Sure enough, they don't reject me at all. Mephistopheles grasped the hilt of the sword with her hand and lifted it off the altar.

A huge roar rang out from beneath their feet, like the clatter of countless gears, and then the altar sank into the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, thousands of stone steps swallowed up by the ground like waves. In the end, only the top floor where Lucifer and Mephistopheles were located remained on the ground.

"The first phase is complete. When all was calm again, Lucifer looked at Mephistopheles who had picked up his sword and said, "Then it's time for the second phase to begin." ”

"Ah, the first phase is finally complete. Mephistopheles echoed, "Now that the current goal has been accomplished, as long as there is Satan's sword, the second phase will go smoothly." ”

"It doesn't seem like you can do what you want. The voice suddenly rang in Mephistopheles' ears, and he was startled at who made the sound when a dagger pierced his chest in the air.

"How is that possible!" Mephistopheles fell to his knees clutching the wound on his chest, if it was a normal time, this small injury would not be worth mentioning to him at all, but now he was weakened to the extreme by the influence of Satan's power, so that a small injury made him feel severe pain.

"I see, is your purpose to bring Satan back?" the owner of the voice gradually revealed his true appearance: the face was that of Seth Tien, who had pursued them here, and at the moment his right arm was wrapped with golden runes, and the invisibility just now was clearly the ability of his holy word.

"Why?" Lucifer asked in disbelief as he looked at Seth, "Why do humans use abilities?"

"I don't think you even noticed. Seth wiped the blood from the dagger with one finger, "Since the sword of Satan was taken away, the coercion here has been significantly reduced, although when I first came here, I also felt the huge power, but since the sword was taken away, the power has weakened instantly. ”

"I see. Lucifer said as he endured the sharp pain of his wounds. "That sword is the source of power, and as long as that sword is still in place, will Satan's power barrier be there forever?"

Seth looked at the two men in front of him and felt no sympathy, how many of his compatriots had died at their hands, they wanted to exterminate humanity, they wanted to build a world of utter chaos and disorder, such people did not deserve mercy at all.

"Your time has come. Seth looked at the two people who fell in front of him and said word by word. "On behalf of the Father alone, I judge you two, the pride of the chief of the seven sins of Mephistopheles Ferres. Thou art Lucifer, the Son of the Father, the outcast, sin more severe, and thou hast rebelled against the name of righteousness of thy body. Today, I sentence you to death. ”

Lucifer's pale face smiled after listening to his words: "Don't be coy there, you are just playthings, do you still want to judge God? If it weren't for wasting so much effort, your life would have been over." ”

"You have committed such a serious sin, and it is beyond the imagination of all creatures to be alive, and all living beings want to tear you to pieces, do you still want us to revere you as a god?" Seth retorted sternly.

"Humans are really cute creatures. Mephistopheles, who had fallen to his knees clutching his chest, slowly stood up. "But it's this loveliness that will eventually lead to your demise. ”

Seth's face changed drastically: "How can it be? You should have no strength anymore, not to mention that I injected the power of the Holy Word into the dagger just now, and it is impossible for you to stand up again now." ”

"Who knows, maybe it's Satan's protection. Seth suddenly noticed that black blood vessels appeared on Mephistopheles' right arm holding the Satanic Sword, and these black rope-like blood vessels originated from the hilt of the Satanic Sword, as if countless vines stretched out from the Satanic Sword connected the sword to Mephistopheles itself.

Is that the case, Seth suddenly realized that the sword of Satan, as an extension of Satan's will, can easily be used to transmit his power, and Mephistopheles, who is the head of the Seven Sins Demon King, can naturally also use the power transmitted by this sword, it seems that he himself is too negligent.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that. Mephistopheles smiled mockingly, "But it looks like the god of fate is on my side this time." So," he said, "He slowly raised the sword of Satan, the blade pointed straight at Seth. "You must have come to the consciousness to meet that sweet death. ”

"No kidding!" Seth snapped, and the golden word began to shine again. "I'm going to fight to stop you, even if I gamble my life, Holy Word, Divine Concealment!"

In just a split second, Seth disappeared again from under Mephistopheles' nose, as if he had never existed here.

Mephistopheles snorted from his mouth: "I see, is this the ability to completely erase one's own breath? But it's really a good ability, so that the enemy's senses of sight, hearing, and smell are completely useless." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp dagger blade grazed his face, leaving a shallow wound on his face, even though Mephistopheles reacted quickly to dodge.

Mephistopheles raised his hand and touched the wound, looked at the blood stains left on his fingers and smiled: "If you only have this ability, you can't beat me, is this the only way to achieve your enlightenment?"

"Less big talk there. Seth roared and slammed straight at Mephistopheles' face, although there was no way to catch his entity with his eyes, Mephistopheles narrowly dodged with years of combat experience, but Seth turned his blade and stabbed directly into Mephistopheles's shoulder blade on his left shoulder, purple blood spurted out violently, but all this was expected by Mephistopheles.

Almost at the same time that Seth succeeded, the blood splattered on Seth's originally invisible body, making the power of the Holy Word useless at that moment, and Mephistopheles kept staring at the direction of the blood spurt, and the moment Seth revealed the flaw, he raised the Satan Sword in his right hand and stabbed it quickly, the sharp blade pierced between Seth's ribs and pierced through his back.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, both of which was fuchsia demon blood and crimson human blood, and both of them launched a deadly attack almost at the same moment, the dagger piercing through the demon's shoulder blades and almost approaching the heart, while the magic sword pierced through the human body, and probably caused severe damage to internal organs.

Time almost stood still at that moment, and they were in a stalemate, no one knew what the outcome would be, and finally Seth made the first move, he pulled out the dagger that pierced Mephis's body, and then stumbled back, and Mephistopheles also took advantage of the situation to draw the sword of Satan, gasping and falling to one knee on the ground.

My ability has not yet recovered, and Mephistopheles secretly thought in her heart that if my ability recovered, I could kill him directly, but now I actually have to fight hand-to-hand, which is not my strong point.

Seth barely supported himself to stand, and Mephistopheles' blow just now, although he avoided the vital organs, also caused severe internal bleeding. It doesn't seem to be so easy to end, Seth looked at Mephistopheles on his knees and calculated, but his ability has not yet recovered, if it is only a hand-to-hand combat, I have an advantage, and this is the only way I can win against him.

Thinking of this, Seth couldn't help but clench the steel dagger with the holy word attached to it in his hand, and Mephistopheles also clenched the hilt of the sword, and the two looked at each other again, like the ferocity of a tiger and a lion in a fight, they both knew that the next attack should be the final blow, and then they would also divide the final victory.

This time it was either darkness or light that fell silent.
