《The Demon Against the Heavens》Chapter 248 - Secret
Advertisement
In the Colosseum, during the battle
Lumia was parrying the blows of the five Trolls around her. The two axes in the hands of the Formation warrior continually flew back and forth, mutilating its enemies. Yet, with each blow, the girl risked being injured, and with her the other nine Goblins within the Formation; besides, they were terrified of Lumia's fighting style.
They thought the Trolls and the Undead were fierce and ruthless creatures. But after seeing Lumia fight, they had to change their mind. The silver-haired girl, as tall as a bedside table, had gone berserk.
A Troll had just launched onto the Formation's arm, trying to block it and give others the opportunity to attack. But before the rest of them could do as much as move a finger, Lumia hurled a terrifying blow with her head at the abnormal creature, making it stagger backwards. She immediately threw a blow to the Troll's throat, now unprotected, and another behind his skull after a quick movement on her feet.
Here another enemy corpse had hit the ground. Lumia shattered his head under the foot of the Formation, to make it almost impossible to resurrect him quickly.
The main problem with fighting an Undead company was this: once annihilated, the enemies were brought back to life as Undead and could continue fighting as if nothing had happened.
Lumia felt the Meridians inside her body burn, as if they were about to burn. All the Mana she was catalysing through the Formation was far too violent for her slender body.
But Iblis had trained her personally. Now his muscles and bones were harder than steel. His meridians had a power unbelievable for a normal person.
In fact, if any warrior had tried to activate Frankenstein's improved Formations, he would probably have died instantly. Helial and his friends had a Constitution far higher than normal.
At that moment Lumia's fury was interrupted by Frankenstein's scream, ordering her to be careful. Lumia suddenly lowered her head, avoiding the black blade of a Folly that was about to cut it off.

Lumia had not seen the blade come. This would have been enough to understand how dangerous those creatures were. Unfortunately, having never trained their senses to manage the Formations, the movements of Lumia and the others who were with her in the Formation were slightly clumsy.
The putrid flesh that was on the Follies' face and body was revolting. Their features were paralyzed in an eternal expression of madness, and not by chance. Their terrifying face would have made even the greatest warrior shiver.
But Lumia felt a twinge of anger make her body tremble when the Folly shrieked: "Hey, little one, why don't you get out of there?"
The distorted voice scratched the girl's ears and heart.
“Are you too cowardly to face a real monster? Even if your brother is on the verge of becoming a succulent meal for the Prince of Darkness, at least he has had the courage to face him face to face. You second-class Humans and Goblins love to hide behind armour and Formations instead.”
Frankenstein heard the provocation of the Folly and again shouted in the direction of Lumia: “Lumia, don't listen to her! If you leave the Formation you're done for!"
Frankenstein and Lumia hadn't gotten to know each other well enough in the time they spent together, but they both had great respect and a great deal of trust in each other. However, the Goblin knew well how much Lumia could change her attitude when her brother was called into question.
Lumia might have looked like a quiet, sweet little pet in Helial's presence, but the Goblin's wit suggested that, as far as madness was concerned, the silver-haired girl would have made the Follies shiver too. And her madness now would have pushed her to turn towards her brother.
In fact, Lumia turned her gaze for a second, with her eyebrows frowned, and saw Helial back away, full of wounds that regenerated very slowly, while more others opened on his entire body.
The Revenant was very close to defeating Helial.

A whisper made its way into Lumia's ears. You can use it.
The girl nodded.
…
Inside Helial's Soul
While Iblis had just begun to sip his tea, Alexander gave him an inquisitive look.
"I saw what you just did," said the King, shaking his head, "but you did say we shouldn't interfere, didn't you?"
…
You have dissolved the Formation!
Nine Goblins suddenly found themselves in the middle of the battle, with their eyes wide open and their shoulders completely uncovered. Something was going wrong.
Frankenstein immediately launched himself towards Lumia and covered the Goblins' back. Unfortunately, he hadn't been fast enough and two of them were immediately torn apart by the enemies.
Those who survived entered Frankenstein's Formation, while the Goblin mentally recalculated all its specifics to ensure that it did not collapse from the excess of Mana.
The warrior became even brighter than before, although his figure trembled slightly from time to time.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Frankenstein shouted, after making sure he could handle the situation.
The Follies were at the Late stage of the Sixth Phase and Lumia only at the Initial stage of the Third.
Suddenly, a lightning appeared out of nowhere in the sky and pierced the invisible barrier above the Colosseum, rushing into Lumia's hands.
All the Immortals looked at the girl in amazement. Not even they could have crossed that barrier so easily. That a lightning must have been powerful enough to overcome the strength of any warrior who was in that place, at that moment.
The white lightning stopped in Lumia's hands, slowly beginning to take on a well-defined shape. It reached out, forming a long handle that Lumia could grasp with both hands.
All around her a luminescent white Aura crystallized.
…
In the universe, in a desolate corner, wrapped in darkness
A little girl stood with her eyes closed, while her long white hair moved slowly around her, levitating in the void and wrapping her.
Her eyelids rose slowly, showing two silver irises.
A tear ran down her cheek, reaching her chin. As it was about to fall in the void, the tear began to levitate before the girl's big eyes. Gradually, the drop extended and formed a very thin layer of water, a mirror through which images could be seen, images of the events that were taking place millions of light years away from there.
In the tear was the image of a girl with silvery hair, holding a huge silver sickle, with delicate veins on the handle and the upper part, we the blade was attached, had a circular shape.
From the circle extended an incredibly sharp blade, shining with off-white light.
With a wave of the girl's hand, the water mirror disappeared into thin air.
She sighed and smiled.
"I told you," she whispered to absolute emptiness.
“But, big brother, don't worry. I will keep the secret of your existence."
…
Inside Helial's Soul
"But didn't the girl choose to act as Support for her brother?" Alexander asked curiously.
"Exactly, but you can be of support even without acting exactly as Support," laughed Iblis, pleased.
"Never trust a Devil, huh?"
...
You equipped Lunar Sickle
One of the two twin Follies, Vetal, Vetalia's sister, laughed at the top of her voice: “Do you really think you scare me? AHAHAHAH!”
But even before her laughter stopped, Lumia disappeared and reappeared exactly behind her.
Snowflake, too, was now looking at Lumia and, when she noticed the ability that the girl was using, his eyes widened.
"It's ... it's impossible!"
Skill Activated
Authority of the Tyrant
Helial needed her, she couldn't disappoint him.
"Die, bitch."
Lunar Sickle descended on the Folly. Taken by surprise, Vetal was unable to dodge.
Something wasn’t right.
Looking away from Lumia's mocking smile, Vetal could no longer see her right arm, which held one of the two pitch black swords, attached to her body.
