Frey didn’t get a chance to answer as Lucifer acted before him.
Puhuk!
His back cracked, and there was an explosion.
No. It wasn’t an explosion.
It was the sound of black wings being forced out of his back.
The size of the black wings was unusual. They were large enough to cover the sky, and they were as black as the darkest ink.
He could hardly believe it despite seeing those wings come out of Lucifer’s body with his own eyes.
A single flap of his wings caused a large gust of wind to sweep through the area. It was so powerful that even the boulders around them were blown away.
Lord smiled slightly and said. (Note: Do you think the author forgot that Lord is usually featureless?)
[Your twelve wings of the past have now become only three wings. How unsightly.]
“How do you know about my wings?”
[Well…]
Lucifer glared at Lord with a cold gaze.
Lord had called him the Fallen Angel. This was very close to his true identity, and it was something no one in the world should have known.
‘No, Frey might know.’
After all, he had managed to have a conversation with God. But he didn’t think that Frey was the one who told him.
His hatred for Lord went beyond imagination.
The same was true for his wings. Only God knew that he originally had twelve wings. (Note: author put ‘12 pairs’ each time, but I’m pretty sure the Seraphim - the highest ranked angels - had 12 wings total)
“…hoo.”
Lucifer sighed.
Then he looked at Lord and suddenly let out a laugh. He roughly wiped the blood from his lips before covering the hole in his chest with his hand.
“How interesting, Lord. Do you believe you gained the upper hand just because you pierced my chest? You should know that this kind of wound means nothing to us.”
Paht.
His wound healed in an instant, disappearing without a trace. But Lord nodded without hesitation.
[Of course. My goal wasn’t to do something so simple as to pierce your chest. Instead, Lucifer, it seems that you have no ‘core’ in your body.]
“…!”
Was that his goal?
‘…there was clearly no murderous intent in Lord’s attack.’
He could have dealt a bigger blow to Lucifer if he’d really wanted to.
But he didn’t. Instead, his attack had only been a means to carry out his
[Do you think you can defeat me in that state? You wouldn’t be able to even if you were in your optimal state, so what can you do when you’re so drained?]
“What the hell are you talking about?”
[If you want to fight properly, then call your precious other half. I am willing to wait until then. Isn’t that why you sent your feather to the Continent?]
“…”
Lucifer fell silent at that moment. The ever-present smile disappeared from his lips.
“…you… no way.”
[You really didn’t think I’d notice. You’re far too arrogant. If you really wanted to hide it, you should have at least hidden the fact that you only have half of your wings.]
“Wings?”
Hearing Frey’s questioning tone, Lord chuckled.
[It’s a simple story. It’s not even surprising. It’s quite the obvious twist. The one who was defeated by me long ago and the one who isn’t confident in defeating me now have combined.]
The one who’d been ‘defeated’ by Lord. To be defeated meant they had to have fought.
And there was only one being who came to mind when the words ‘fight with Lord’ came up.
Frey’s expression became stiff.
“…the Dragon Lord. Are you saying that Lucifer and the Dragon Lord joined forces?”
[Joined forces? It’s much more intimate than that. Lucifer absorbed the Dragon Lord’s soul and heart.]
“He absorbed them. Like that time with Satan?”
[That’s a method that’s already failed. Lucifer isn’t a fool. Instead, he made up his mind. He decided to merge with the Dragon Lord’s very existence. There’s the risk that his ego would collapse or that he’d lose his mind, but… he wanted to digest an existence like the Dragon Lord, so he was willing to take the risk.]
Lord spoke with a humorous voice as he continued.
[However, the actions he took after were even more surprising. Lucifer wanted to combine the two sides before splitting them again.]
‘Split?’
Frey didn’t understand what he was saying.
[Frey Blake, have you ever heard of a Black Dragon?]
“I haven’t.
[And you still didn’t notice?… No, you don’t know much about Dragons, so it should be expected. In that case, let me give you a brief lesson. In the first place, there is no such thing as a Dragon with black scales.]
‘There is no Dragon with black scales.’
“…!”
It was only then that Frey understood what Lord was saying.
It was Dro’s image that appeared in his head at that moment. His appearance. A man with black hair and black eyes with a similar appearance to Lucifer’s.
A man who also had a Dragon Heart.
‘…Dro felt the presence of his Dragon Heart. But the heartbeat was not very strong.’
It was much stronger compared to Beniang’s, who was only a Half-Dragon, but it was not enough to be called the Dragon Lord’s.
Frey could tell even when he first met him. If the reason for this was because he had been split in half.
[The Dragon Lord became half of Lucifer, and Lucifer became half of the Dragon Lord. With a perfect understanding of each other, they could be one or two.]
Lord then smiled and looked at Lucifer.
[Then what should I call you now?]
