Lucifer's scream echoed in his mind, and Gwen's shocked her back to focus as the claws stopped, wrapped around her bloody neck, now grasping at his head, seeming to be in pain...
"Agh!?"
She looked up, seeing the struggling bewitched Lucifer... with her right arm barely holding the spear, she lunged it straight into his chest... with a loud pop... the blade just missed his heart... but a strange red crystal was cracked before it crumbled and started to be dissolved into his blood like powder...
"Ugh... wench...! I won't... forget your face...!"
The crystal was the former abyssal deity's core... Though shallow, that crack let its demonic essence seep out, forming a sticky dark liquid already filling his wounds.
A few moments later, the dark, strange atmosphere faded.... before the pair fell to the ground, both too wounded to remain conscious...
