Luci, The Lord of Pride

Seven Sins System Chapter 280. Luci, The Lord of Pride

But the fight was far from over.

Luci and I faced each other, the air crackling with anticipation. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in as the weight of our impending clash bore down on us.

"Alright ladies! It seems we will get a good show," Lily's voice cut through the tension, her tone filled with amusement that bordered on indifference. I shot her a sidelong glance, a mixture of annoyance and understanding. To her, this might have been nothing more than a spectacle, a display of power that entertained her devil-may-care attitude.

Lily's attention turned to Ivy, her orders crisp and commanding. "Get the chairs ready, Ivy!" With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a surge of her own demonic power, erecting an additional barrier around us. She knew the potential danger that this fight held, not just for Luci and me, but for anyone caught in the crossfire.

Ivy scurried to comply with Lily's orders. She arranged the chairs along the perimeter of the room, creating a makeshift arena for our clash. The other women watched with a mix of curiosity and apprehension, their eyes flitting between Luci and me.

Turning to Lily, I shot her a pointed look that conveyed both annoyance and disbelief. "Seriously? Can't you be a little worried about me?" I questioned, a hint of exasperation lacing my words.

She responded with a smug smile, settling herself comfortably in one of the chairs that Ivy had thoughtfully prepared. The previous servant was already beside her, bearing a tray laden with an assortment of delectable snacks. Lily's demeanor remained unruffled, a clear indication that my concerns were far from her mind. "Should I?" Her voice held an air of casual indifference as if the prospect of my safety was inconsequential compared to her own amusement.

"That's a dangerous remark, Lily. Since, I will kick your brother's ass," Luci's voice cut through the conversation, his tone firm and unyielding.

Lily's response was typically Lily – casual, irreverent, and laced with a humor that only she seemed to possess. "Then do it. Just don't break his penis, I still need it," she said with an air of indifference.

The comment caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her audacity. "You only see me based on that?" I retorted, a hint of annoyance creeping into my tone. It was a complaint more than a question.

She responded with an annoyingly smug smile, her gaze meeting mine without a trace of hesitation. "Maybe," she stated simply.

I cringed inwardly, her bluntness taking me by surprise once again. 'So, I'm simply walking penis to her?' I grumbled inwardly, torn between exasperation and amusement.

With an eye roll, I shifted my attention away from Lily and back to Luci, who stood a short distance away.

A sigh escaped my lips, a mix of resignation and fond exasperation. "Somehow I feel betrayed by my own sister," I muttered under my breath, the words a half-amused grumble as I activated my Devil's Blessing skill.

The moment my Devil's Blessing surged through me, a tangible surge of power that set my senses ablaze, I knew Luci would sense the shift.

Quickly, Luci was already in motion. His form seemed to blur as he lunged toward me, his figure a dark streak slicing through the air. His approach was marked by a calculated intensity.

Yet, to my surprise, his approach differed from what I had anticipated. Instead of unleashing a barrage of spells or conjuring his own skills, Luci's tactics took a different turn. With a swift, fluid motion, his wings began to shift and transform into sharp blades.

The clash between my six Wrath tentacles and Luci's six blade wings was nothing short of spectacular. It was a symphony of power and precision, a dance of dark energy and deadly blades that reverberated through the very air itself.

With every collision, sparks erupted in a dazzling display of light and energy. The room was illuminated by these bursts of brilliance, casting eerie and mesmerizing patterns across the walls. The sparks crackled and danced like wild fireflies, each one a testament to the sheer intensity of our clash.

The bangs that accompanied each impact were deafening, a chorus of thunderous roars that echoed in the confines of the parlor room. The force of our collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air. The wind generated by each clash was a force to be reckoned with. It howled and whistled.

His voice cut through the cacophony of our clash, a mixture of derision and frustration. "You know what? When I saw you dancing naked in the meeting room, I thought you had gone crazy," he scoffed, his words laced with both mockery and exasperation. Yet, even as he spoke, our powers continued to clash with violence that threatened to tear the very room apart.

"Unfortunately not," he added with a hint of bitterness, his attack showing no signs of relenting.

Despite the chaos surrounding us, a small, wry smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "That's not me! But that imbecile puppet!" I wanted to retort, to clarify that I wasn't responsible for whatever ridiculous antics the puppet version of me had been up to. But I couldn't.

"It was just a joke, Luci. Relax," I said since I didn't know what to say anymore.

"Your sense of humor is seriously terrible!" Luci's voice sliced through the air, heavy with annoyance. His frustration was palpable, and I couldn't help but smirk in response. Even in the midst of our fierce clash, his snarky comment managed to cut through the tension.

Before I could react further, he unleashed a powerful maneuver. His six wings unfurled, and with a sweeping motion, they generated a tremendous gust of wind that surged toward me like a raging storm.

Thinking on my feet, I didn't waste a moment. "Shadow Barrier!" I commanded. A translucent barrier materialized.

The wind hit the barrier with a deafening roar, a collision of raw power and magic. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air, causing the barrier to shimmer and ripple in response. For a moment, it seemed as if the barrier might shatter under the onslaught, but it held steadfast, pushing back against the raging wind.

I could feel the strain of maintaining the barrier, the energy required to counteract the force that Luci had unleashed. It was a delicate balance, a dance between my own power and the might of his attack. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I focused on keeping the barrier intact.

The room still crackled with the remnants of our clash, an electric charge hanging in the air as our powers collided and merged. Luci's devilish wings had just retracted, and I had been prepared to attack him when a sudden shift in the atmosphere caught my attention. It was as if the very fabric of the shadow realm trembled, responding to an incoming force.

The tension between Luci and me was momentarily forgotten as our gazes converged on a single point. The air seemed to thicken with anticipation, and then, in a flash of energy, a figure materialized between us. It was an entrance that held an eerie sense of authority, a power that was unmistakably potent and undeniable.
