Chapter 57: Wings of Darkness
"Click, click" Gabriel held his sword in his hand and walked towards Lucifer with steady steps.
"Is it coming? Gabriel. Lucifer smiled, he didn't wear a helmet and his black hair fluttered in the wind. "Noah" was placed on his right hand, and when he saw Gabriel, his eyes instantly became hot.
"There's no need to fight between us, brother. Gabriel stood before Lucifer, "We are brothers, don't fight each other any more." ”
"Yes, we are brothers. Lucifer repeated, "But that's what I have to erase, and there's no turning back on the path I've chosen." ”
Lucifer quickly picked up "Noah" and rushed towards Gabriel, the sound of metal crashing against each other was endless, and both Lucifer and Gabriel began to fight with all their might.
"You're strong enough for me to match, no, even surpass me sometimes!" Lucifer shouted, "worthy of being my brother, but even so, I must once again wipe out my brother with my own hands!"
Lucifer summoned the Ethereal Spirits, but Gabriel was not defeated even by more than one enemy, and with a scream that pierced the air, a powerful shockwave completely shattered all the Ethereal Spirits.
Lucifer also had to take a few steps back in a row, the wind blade in the air left several wounds on his body, and before the smoke and dust could dissipate, a black shadow jumped up in the dust, and the long sword stabbed straight at Lucifer's chest.
Lucifer faced this blow, and instead of dodging, he stepped forward, and the blade pierced his body, but Lucifer gritted his teeth and grabbed the blade, Gabriel's face showed a look of consternation, he never expected Lucifer to act like this.
"Now I just want to finish the path I have chosen!" Lucifer roared, and the blade of "Noah" pierced Gabriel's body at the same moment, splattering blood everywhere, and Lucifer's face was also stained with blood.
Gabriel let go of his grip on the hilt of his sword, and Lucifer pulled out "Noah" with difficulty, and then pulled out the long sword that had been pierced into his chest.
"It's raining. Lucifer felt something wet in his hair, and he realized that it wasn't sweat, and when he looked up, a drop of rain happened to fall on his face.
The rain began to fall heavily, and the blood was washed away from his face. Lucifer's body shook, as if he would faint at any moment, and on the ground, Gabriel was already dying.
"It's all over, brother. Gabriel said in a weak tone.
"Yes, it's over. Lucifer fell to his knees in front of Gabriel's body, and he couldn't tell if it was rain on his face or tears that he couldn't hold back.
"But is that really what you want?" asked Gabriel, looking into Lucifer's eyes.
For a while, countless memories of the past came to Lucifer's mind: the scene when the three brothers played together when they were children, the moment when they fought side by side, the scene when they were happy, the scene when they were happy, and the scene when they wept bitterly until the night when they were drunk.
Who am I? Lucifer asked himself over and over again in his heart, I am not the Archangel of Justice, I am not Lucifer, I am not their brother, I am just a being spurned in the dark!
"It's not what I want. "But I had to do it, and I forsaken everything for the path I had chosen!"
"I understand, brother. Gabriel smiled, "You've always been the one who will fight to the end for a certain purpose, and that's the real you. ”
"Everything is your own choice, brother, I respect your choice, goodbye, you will always be my brother. ”
Gabriel smiled and closed his eyes, he finally ran out of breath, a thunderbolt pierced the sky, and in the deafening thunder, Lucifer knew that he had killed Gabriel with his own hands.
Lucifer didn't know for a moment whether he should be sad or celebrate, he seemed to be completely numb, he couldn't think of anything, after killing his brother and brother with his own hands, what was he going to do next?
Bone-chilling pain. This was what Lucifer felt in his heart, his body seemed to be completely torn apart by something, and all the sights in front of him were blurred, and finally Lucifer began to cry.
He couldn't remember how long he had been crying, but when the crying stopped, Lucifer turned to the sky and laughed, but the laughter sounded like a cry of pain, and it was not until finally Lucifer stopped all his movements.
The rain was gone, Gabriel was gone, and all the scenes changed in an instant, and now Lucifer was just kneeling in front of a pool of red water.
"Is that the future?" said Lucifer to himself after a long silence. "I've figured out what I'm going to do, or rather, that's what I have to do. ”
The demon guards guarding the spring glanced inside uneasily, and although Lucifer had now joined them, the fear of the once righteous archangel was still imprinted in the hearts of every demon.
"Have you seen enough?" Mephistopheles' voice suddenly sounded, and all the demon guards immediately bowed their heads respectfully.
"We were just a little worried about his safety. The leading demon guard replied, "The Lords have asked us to keep him safe, and we are doing our duty now." ”
"You're doing a great job. Mephistopheles slowed down and said, "So what did he do?"
"Most of the time he seems to meditate with his eyes closed, and sometimes he stays in front of the spring like he does now, and he doesn't communicate with us, so none of us knows what he's thinking. ”
"That's right. Mephistopheles nodded, "You've done a great job, and now you're going to guard this place, I'm going to talk to that guy now." ”
"Do we need to step down, then?"
"Don't get too far away. Mephistopheles said, "The guard here is still yours, and even if you are at this time, you must not relax." ”
"Yes. The leading demon guard nodded, then waved his men to follow him, and Mephistopheles strode towards Lucifer after making sure there was no one else here.
"You're here too, Mephistopheles. Lucifer turned his head sharply, "Your face doesn't look good, is something going on?"
"Your face is even uglier than mine. Mephistopheles laughed, "What the hell are you thinking? Lucifer. ”
"You don't have to worry about it. Lucifer said perfunctorily, "You haven't answered my question yet, is something going on?"
"There's a lot going on. Mephistopheles replied, "Because there are so many things going on, I'm afraid I'll have to spend a little more time telling you." ”
For the rest of the day, Mephistopheles told Lucifer everything that had happened, and Lucifer only listened to everything with a blank face, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"So did Satan fail in heaven?"
"That's true, your brother is really powerful, he was able to pick up the Spear of God Holy Punishment, Satan never expected this kind of thing, so he accidentally suffered a little setback. ”
"In this way, the Celestial Army will attack us under Gabriel's leadership, and it seems that the opportunity for the two of you to fight again will soon come back. ”
"Even if he doesn't come, I'll go find him. Lucifer said in a low tone, "Also, that Mammon is a traitor, I warned you before, but you didn't take it to heart." ”
"Who would have thought that they would dare to do this. Mephistopheles spread her hands, "But he won't be arrogant for long, and Lord Satan will soon return, and then it will be his time to die." ”
"But he's not resurrected yet. "Until then, everything will be in his favor, and if he attacks during this time, he will be in big trouble." ”
"So I'm not coming out to look for you?" Mephistopheles said, "You're the only hole card I have left, and as long as you're there, Mammon shouldn't be stupid enough to attack easily." ”
"Makes sense. Lucifer agreed with Mephistopheles' words, "What are you going to do with those humans? If we send troops to annihilate them, then there will be a big gap in our defenses." ”
"Then leave them alone for the time being, there are only two of the three people who entered here now, my two humans are completely unfamiliar with what is going on here, and I don't think they will be able to find our headquarters during this time. ”
"Aren't you worried that Mammon will join forces with them?"
"You're kidding again. Mephistopheles smiled, "Let's not say whether Mammon will do this, but those humans can't choose to join forces with him, after all, demons are enemies to be destroyed for them." ”
"When it comes to insight into people's hearts, I can't compare to you. Lucifer shrugged his shoulders and said, "So I don't leave this matter to you, I just want to fight Gabriel now." ”
"What would you do?"
"Do the only thing I have to do. Lucifer calmly replied, "I will know all this with my own hands, and Gabriel will disappear from this world completely, and that's what I'm going to do." ”
"It's really ruthless, I'm sure you'll do it, so I won't disturb your rest now, and I'll let you know when it's time for you to act. ”
Lucifer just nodded coldly, the wings behind him looked darker than ever, and Mephistopheles even felt that the air here was a little colder than the rest of the place.
"Goodbye then. Mephistopheles shuddered and stood up, "I'm sure we'll meet again soon, and the next time we're going to be on the battlefield." ”
