Chapter 768: [I like fries]

“That’s hardly my intention. Even a poor ghoul knows how dangerous the Great Lilith can be—still, I can't help but wonder as to why you who are always standing in the neutral position suddenly made a baffling U-turn and decided to participate in a party like this. Not that I’m saying that you are not invited. The more people come, the merrier it is. But, a little bit inconceivable, don’t you think so?” Vergil muttered with a faint, handsome smile on his lips.

Somersaulting in the air and casually avoiding the black spear of void flying towards him, he looks at Lilith with curious regard.

“It’s hard to believe it’s because of love. Something illogical cannot be the reason, especially for you, my dear Lilith. Something sentimental is bound to just be like potato fries, full of unhealthy stuff which, although a good snack, something that can ruin our health. And I think you, smarter and cunning than any being in this world, know better than that compared to me,”

“But I like fries… especially dipped in mayonnaise, it’s delicious,”

Lilith replied with a cheerful smile. She stopped in the air and spread her arms, both hands glowing in red lightning.

“Well, yeah, perhaps what you said is true—but like fries, despite knowing that it’s a bit bad for us, we still can’t help but become addicted to it.”

“… …”

Vergil created a large sphere barrier, blocking Lilith’s attack before looking at her in confused surprise.

"...really? Seriously?"

“That’s just there is to it—Vergil. Someone who can’t understand love would never be able to understand how addicting something you thought is already impossible to occur, actually came and appeared in front of you. That just by extending your hand, you would be able to grasp the future you are dreaming for a long, long, long time.”

“Something I don’t want to dare understand,”

Vergil smiled faintly.

“Matters of heart makes a Wiseman fool—so unpredictable, so unreasonable, so ridiculous…in a not so good way, I may add. Things that cannot be grasped in your hand, is like holding a time bomb waiting for it to explode when you are least prepared. That with a one-bit mistake, all the things you have will disappear, as if it were all illusion. Haven't you already been burnt by it...once? So, it makes me wonder, why you still foolishly chased after such an empty dream,”

“Don’t you think that’s even more wonderful and exciting?”

Lilith grinned.

“Things always go like you wanted them to be, quite boring don’t you think so? Not as exciting as it could be. There’s no thrill or adventure that makes your life have a bit of twist, up and down, turn around, not the least bit flavor in life. But Love, it’s the greatest adventure one can have, because you don’t know what will happen in the next few seconds.”

“So ridiculous…everything that doesn’t follow your will is basically asking for failure.”

“But that’s what makes life fun,”

Lilith didn't hesitate to act.

She closed the distance towards Vergil and clenched her left fist.

With astonishing speed, her punch sheered through the air.

"Otto. That’s dangerous,”

Vergil jumped sideways, easily avoiding the attack. However, Lilith did not stop there. She merely kicked off the ground after him, while interlacing a series of punches and kicks. As it was, she forced him against the wall,

"HAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa --!"

She sent out a blow with all the power in her whole body towards Vergil’s face. However, there was a slight delay when she built up her power allowing Vergil to evade by a paper-thin margin. Her fist instead hit the rock wall directly behind where he was,

Baaannnnnnngggggggggg --!!

A huge crater had been bored into where Lilith hit as the center. However, the powerful impact was not offset by that and had continued throughout the rock wall.

Along with the heavy blasting sound, the entire rock face had been pushed back several meters of depth.

The breadth of space had clearly become wider than before.

“Can you not dodge? It’s extremely hard to hit you,”

Lilith muttered in annoyance.

“I think you should really tone down your ridiculous requests. That’s quite mortifying,” Vergil muttered with a wry smile. “More like, why are you aiming for my face, I wonder? I thought, if it’s you, drown in some ridiculous lovesickness, you would try to avoid hitting my face.”

“Nah, it’s actually quite the opposite.”

Lilith shook her hand which was coated by dirt and dust and responded with a sneer, “You, having the same face as him irked me for some reason. I can’t believe someone with the same face as him would try to fight me as if undergoing rebellious puberty.”

“That’s completely unreasonable,”

“Yeah, somewhat. Besides, you really look like Dante in the previous life. And seeing that kind of face, I was reminded of some unwelcome memories. So can you please stay put and let me hit you for a moment—”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have masochistic tendencies so, I’ll pass on that,”

Vergil laughed heartily.

“Your brother’s much more gentlemanly than you,”

Lilith heaves a wry sigh as she clenched her fists, they then flowed into orbs of scarlet light.

“Being a masochist is being a gentleman, that’s new,”

The two of them sound completely ridiculous, but they’re still taking it incredibly seriously while fighting and exchanging blows. They then engaged in a glaring contest, but it’s intense enough for the air itself to shriek if it could.

“Loving a woman and tried to do everything that makes her happy, is what makes a man, a gentleman!”

Lilith’s toes tapped the ground and instantly, she flung off the floor, and her fist was heading directly toward Vergil!

Frightening demeanor continued to flood the place.

The wind blew, and the ground shook!

Vergil smirked and he showed no fear. Like her, he put out his fist and concentrated his magic power.

Boom!

The two fists clashed against each other and caused an air bubble that erupted in the sky. An infinite amount of strength dissipated the air.

The scary amount of force made them stumble back three steps each.

Stalemate!

"Not bad. As befitting of someone who can be called the direct incarnation of the Wiseman Solomon, you indeed have the capability to bear the title of the Demon Prince of Darkness, Vergil. Out of everyone in the entire Demon World, very few can block my attack- even Mammon and Beelzebub wouldn’t dare to. I will take some time out of my day to deal with you."

Lilith’s beauty was alluring enough to entice an entire world. Her eyes seemingly sent electric shocks, and her body broke out immeasurable amounts of heavenly light. Like an angel, her temperament was both divine and distressing!

"My dear Lilith, unlike my brother, I am not a guy who goes easy on girls. If you keep on pressuring me like this, don’t blame me when you crumble under my feet." Vergil pressed down on his toes and flung himself backward.

Trying to fight the Ancient Demon Lilith in close-quarter combat would be a troublesome idea. As he leaped backward, behind him several magic circles appeared, glowing brightly.

"Crumble under your feet? Do you have the skills, ey Vergil?"

Lilith smiled seductively.

Without an expression, Vergil extended an arm out. In an instant, the heavenly light that surrounded him exploded. Even though he only blocked with one hand, like a mountain, it pressed down!

"Seriously, you’re too hot-headed. Well, give my brother praise, as he would be the only one who would lay his head down and embrace amazon-like women like you welcome."

Lilith’s gaze turned frigid and the entire atmosphere changed as a result.

The previously coquettish-like temperament of her transformed into a terrifying one!

Boom!

“I don’t think I like that tone of yours, Vergil!”

Using only her ultimate mana, the heavenly light that surrounded Vergil was destroyed into particles. His entire attack was easily and completely resolved!

BOOOOM!!!

"Truly scary... ... I was just joking about it. Who could have thought your feelings would be hurt this much. Fortunately, I'm pretty fast, otherwise, my head would have probably vanished --”

Vergil then floated a confident smile towards her,

"-- Though, you will have to be able to hit me.”

"You don't have to worry."

And then Lilith raised her clenched right fist out in front of her chest,

"Because my fist will hit you -- and then you'll be gone without so much as a trace, Vergil!"

Then just as she said so, Lilith dashes out again.

As long as one direct strike landed out of her barrage of the attacks it would be decided.

But with a smile, Lilith’s offensive was easily being handled by Vergil, showing his quite terrifying abilities. Although Lilith’s movements were as fast as lightning, no, it might even surpass Allen and Lucifer’s Godspeed, yet Vergil has no problem following all of them, little-to-no effort.

...... So it is that way, and he's not just the simple magic type that he was supposed to be as the direct incarnation of the Wiseman Solomon; the Master of all Dark Magic.

He was also master combatant in every field—
