Chapter 514: One Step Ahead

Upon seeing the mysterious Siren bow respectfully to Lust, everyone else is confused. But while Lust quickly explains to Lucien her situation, the others, especially Tyrion, have no idea what's going on.

"Tanu!?! What are you doing???" The Naga King asks in a worried tone.

The Siren looks at him with a sorry expression. "In my heart, I will always be loyal to your majesty, but my demonic soul cannot ignore the hierarchy of my race."

"Hierarchy???" Tyrion asks as he looks at Lust. In addition to thinking she is the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, he can also clearly see that she is a demon. "Is that woman a high demon?"

"Humph!" Lust makes a mocking sound and smiles.

Tanu can barely look at Lust due to the huge difference between their hierarchies. "No, my King; she is a Great Demon... one of the great seven."

"Great Seven??" Tyrion learned a few things about demons from Tanu, but she never talked about the Great Seven as she never imagined they would one day be in front of one of them.

"The seven deadly sins..." Lust comments in a proud tone. "I'm Lust, by the way."

While Tyrion is even more surprised, Kamala and Mira are shocked. [That makes total sense, but how could I believe she was really the sin of lust???]

"I see..." Tyrion quickly starts to think of what to do. Tanu has been his partner for so many years, and everything he has is due to her, but now she seems to be more loyal to Lust than to him.

Then he looks at Lucien quickly before looking at Lust. "Is this boy your partner just like Tanu and I are?"

"Not quite, my King." Tanu quickly explains. "The Great Seven has a different form to make the soul contract. I believe this man is her host, meaning their souls are even more deeply connected, and their bodies are as one."

[Two bodies as one?] Tyrion wonders before speaking out loud. "So, do they share the same power?"

Tanu nods. "Yes, she can materialize a body of her own, but they share the same energy."

As Lucien continues in front of Mira and Kamala, Lust rolls her eyes. "Do you have any more questions?"

"Just one more." Tyrion tries to smile despite not being really confident. "What happens to you if I kill this boy?"

"My King..." Tanu looks at him with a worried expression. "If we kill him, we will be making the entire Demon race our enemies."

"Don't interrupt me!" He chides her in an upset tone.

She looks at Lust with a sorry expression before lowering her head. Then Tyrion looks at Lust too, but his eyes sparkle, and he has a lascivious expression, which makes Lucien more and more annoyed.

"Tell me, what happens if I kill this boy," he asks again.

Lust smiles. "The Siren is right about becoming the enemy of my Demon Race, but that wouldn't be the worst part for you..."

While Tyrion doesn't take his eyes off Lust's body, she walks around Lucien, touching him sensually. "If you hurt him, my sisters would be personally furious, and even then, that still wouldn't be the worst part for you..."

"Because the worst part would be pissing off their sisters and wives..." Lust explains. "They would come after you, not to kill you, but to torture you forever. When I say forever, I'm not kidding. They would find ways to leave you alive to continue torturing you in the worst possible ways after forcing you to watch them destroy everything important to you."

"..." Tyrion still maintains a fake confident expression, but even without knowing how powerful Lucien's sisters and wives are, he believes in Lust's threat.

Kamala also imagines that Lucien's sisters and wives are incredibly powerful monsters based on what he's like being just in the Earth Realm.

"My King..." Tanu again speaks in a respectful tone. "She's right; we should be polite in such a situation."

Tyrion is getting stronger and stronger and achieving his goals, so he shouldn't risk it all. But he can't just push his pride to the bottom of his heart.

"Do you think I should just accept that this boy comes to my house and tell me how to treat my family because he has a strong background???" He asks in a sarcastic tone.

"That's what she just said. Are you deaf?" Lucien asks in a provoking tone.

The Naga King looks at Lucien with a furious expression, but he still doesn't know what to do. "I'm not afraid of your friends."

"I didn't think that would be the case." He responds in a relaxed tone, but he knows the power of the Naga King is way above his own.

Yet, he steps forward while holding the golden naginata. "I can't disagree with Lust's words, but the truth is that you and I are here and now, not my sisters and especially the demon race, which I don't even know, by the way."

'What are you doing???' Lust doesn't understand why Lucien is encouraging the Naga King to attack him.

She has no way of understanding that along with the golden naginata, he received the proudest Dragon heritage of all time and is being increasingly influenced by that power.

'It's alright; I need to do this; otherwise, I would be going against what I think is right.' He responds, and although she doesn't think it's a smart decision, she will support him.

But Tyrion is a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Lucien smiles at Kamala and Mira before answering. "I said I wouldn't let you touch them again, not because other people would stop you from attacking me, but because I would defend them myself."

"Oh??" The Naga King smiles too. "You know you won't last a minute fighting me, right? Are you willing to die for those useless women you just meet?"

"They're not useless, and you know it more than anyone..." Lucien responds, and then his eyes glow golden-purple. "Also, there are things we must to p-"

"Protect." Tyrion completes Lucien's sentence and then points the trident to him. "You're totally right about it. They don't understand that because they're women, but we, men, know that in the end, all that matters is our strength and pride."

Lucien shakes his head with a disappointed expression. "I thought we were a little similar, but you're a fool if you think so. Yet, you're right about what we must do now..."

"Enough talk!" Tyrion channels his dark powers, and a black mist begins to leave his body and spread across the hall.

"My King..." Tanu is very afraid of the consequences of Tyrion's actions, mainly because all demons know how brutal and merciless the seven deadly sins are.

*Pah*

But he slaps her in the face, knocking her to the floor.

Lucien can see that Tanu is a poisonous woman due to her being the partner of a man who abuses his own family, but he still feels sorry for her being bonded to such a wicked man.

As he prepares to face the Naga King, Lust also approaches him. 'You really shouldn't face him... it's too dangerous.'

Unlike Tyrion, Lucien hugs his beloved partner and kisses her lips. 'Trust in me.'

'I always do.' She quickly responds.

"Lucien..." Kamala knows how strong her father is, so she is obviously concerned about him as well as her mother.

Then Lust stops kissing him and smiles at them. "He knows what he's doing."

Kamala is still apprehensive and blames herself for Lucien being in that situation. She really wanted to use the fact that he is a demon to create an alliance between their people, ensuring safety for her and her mother, but now she feels bad that he is risking his life to protect them.

But Lust and her mother hold her hands as Lucien walks towards Tyrion in the center of the hall.

That black cloud creates a powerful round barrier around them to prevent Lucien from escaping and also not letting their powers destroy the main hall.

"Show me what you're capable of, boy." Tyrion opens his arms to Lucien.

"Sure." He comments and then attacks with the naginata, making a vertical cut.

*Whoosh*

The distance between them is a few meters, so the blow quickly lands on the Naga King at incredible speed.

*Bam* *Clang*

But although Lucien's speed is incredible, when Tyrion uses all of his agility, their speed becomes similar, and he blocks the naginata with his trident.

"You're really fast..." The Naga King comments again as the fact that the speed of someone from the Earth Realm being similar to a Cosmic Realm person is unbelievable.

Even Lust is increasingly surprised by Lucien's current power. Without the demonic energies of the other Sins, he should be much weaker now.

But the power of Aylin's naginata, that is, the power of her own soul, is strengthening him a lot. Thus, Lust can't stop thinking about how strong he's going to get when he's back with Envy, Sloth, his sisters, and the other Sins.

Lucien, on the other hand, isn't thinking too much about his power as his mind is very focused on the Naga King right now. He's obviously not naive enough to think he can beat someone that strong; in fact, his plan is to make it very clear that he is no threat to Tyrion.

He smiles and flaps his wings, flying up and launching another vertical attack down.

*Bam* *Clang*

The metallic sound echoes through the hall as the naginata hits Tyrion's trident.

Still in the air, Lucien tries to kick the Naga King in the face using the propelling force generated by their weapons' collision.

*Whoosh*

But while holding the trident with one hand, Tyrion uses the other to grab Lucien's foot quickly.

"But you're not faster than me." The Naga King smiles and then pulls Lucien's body before slamming him against the floor.

*BAM!!!*

Lucien could use his teleport ability as he has a lot of spatial mana that he received from Helena, but he doesn't do that and let the Naga King slam him into the floor.

That jade floor is extremely hard but cracks as Lucien's blood flies everywhere; yet, his bones don't take any damage.

Also, Lucien doesn't make any sound, which shocks Tyrion as it's evident that the blow hurt him.

Well, he was pain resistant before due to his life mana, but after spending days being beaten by the Leviathan in so many brutal ways, Lucien has developed even more pain resistance.

"Huh? So you're tough?" Tyrion comments and then pulls Lucien's body up, making an arc before slamming him to the floor again.

But before Lucien's body hits the floor, he uses his other foot to kick the Naga King's chest and propel himself backward. However, as Tyrion's grip is very strong and his golden bones don't break, his foot gets dislocated.

*Crack*

The sound of Lucien's bones returning to normal echoes through the hall as he steps to the floor. That should hurt a lot, but he keeps smiling with a confident expression on his face as he holds the golden naginata firmly.

He can't see it, but the draconic symbol-shaped tattoo on his back is shining golden just as his eyes and Its light get through his clothes.

Tyrion's eyes also sparkle with expectation as he mentally admires Lucien. "Looks like my useless daughter has really found a good husband... one that I can call my son."

"Son?!?!" Three surprised voices sound together.

And Lust's voice only rings in Lucien's mind. 'So this is your plan?? You know that he plans the same as he did with his wife for his daughter, right? So...'

'So, now he wants to steal my power too...' Lucien completes Lust's thought.
