Chapter 84 - 84: Lessons

"You are just like a wild beast that tries to kill anyone he sees. If only brute force were the key, humans wouldn't be ruling this world for centuries when even more powerful and dangerous threats exist."

" You left the one thing behind that gives humans an advantage: the brain. You can't even use the powers you have efficiently," Flourance said to Lucifer with a faint smile on his face as he raised him up again."

"I'm glad your father and mother are not in this world anymore to see you disgrace them like this," he continued, unaware of the mistake he had committed.

Hearing his parents being talked about like that, Lucifer lost control of his rage. Lightning around his body intensified as a strange whirlwind swallowed the two of them with them at the center.

The whirlwind created a wall around them, s.h.i.+elding them from the views of others.

"Ow," Flourance retracted his hand as he felt current.

"You still don't give up!" he said as he raised his right leg and kicked towards Lucifer.

s.h.i.+fting his balance to the side, Lucifer swung his right leg as well, clas.h.i.+ng with the foot that was about to hit him.

The force of Flourance proved to be useless before Lucifer as he was the one who staggered back instead.

"That really hurt. If I hadn't reacted faster, my leg would have been broken. You might be a brute, but you are still strong."

"Looks like I will have to get a little serious now," he muttered as a faint smile covered his lips.

Raising his right hand towards Lucifer, he made a gentle motion as if he was inviting him to attack first.

"Come. Please show me what you got. Let me break the illusion of strength that you seem to be living under."

Lucifer saw the taunt, but he didn't move. He gazed in the eyes of Flourance as he let out with an expressionless face, "I will kill you."

"Hahaha, big words for a kid that was on the ground a few minutes ago," Flourance mocked Lucifer without being intimidated.

...

"What is that whirlwind? Should we still attack? I can't see anything on the other side."

"Are you crazy? Vice-Captain Flourance is inside with that guy. If we attack blindly, we might hit him accidentally?"

"So we should sit idly? Aren't you worried about the Vice-Captain? He is fighting that guy alone?"

"So what? Are you underestimating the Vice-Captain? Don't you know his power? He is someone that the kid has no chance of defeating. I have full faith that the kid will be beaten black and blue inside."

"Sigh, his power is good indeed. He is the most versatile and can even fight against Master Xander for a long time without being trounced. We shouldn't underestimate him."

"Really? Did he fight against Master Xander? How come I didn't know about it? When did this happen?"

"Hah, you were out on a mission, I think. It was just a practice battle. Even though Master Xander went easy during the battle since it was practice, it still wasn't an easy feat to stand against master Xander. That's why Vice Captain is known to be the second strongest in our Delta Squad."

"Yeah, his A-Rank elemental power of Spatial Displacement makes him a tough opponent to hit."

"Tough? He is impossible to hit! He can bring himself to a parallel s.p.a.ce momentarily, dodging attacks. There is no way someone can hit him there. Along with his B-Rank Physical Power of Strength Augmentation, he is really powerful to beat. That kid has no chance."

While Lucifer and Flourance were hidden in the eye of the whirlwind, the Delta squad Members stood on the other side of spot zero, lamenting about the situation inside the whirlwind.

...

Lucifer swung his fist towards the face of Flourance, who simply stood there, confidently.

"Second lesson. A crazy beast is worse than a calm beast. On the other hand, a calm beast can be more threatening than the crazy beast who attacks in the same pattern," Flourance muttered as he observed Lucifer's fist.

Lucifer's fist reached dangerously close, but the man didn't duck and let Lucifer do as he wished.

Lucifer's fist reached Flourance, but it didn't even touch him. It pa.s.sed through Flourance as if he was an illusory person that didn't exist in reality.

"My turn now," Flourance let out, enjoying the stunned look on Lucifer's face. Packing his fist, he punched Lucifer.

Flourance's fist landed on Lucifer's chest, making him cough out a mouthful of blood. Lucifer flew back like a stone, cras.h.i.+ng on the puddle of water. The water splashed upwards as he crashed before it went back to the ground.

"Lesson number three. If an attack fails, you should follow up with another attack instantly or fall back instead of contemplating what went wrong. Otherwise, this is what happens," Flourance told Lucifer as he smiled.

He stepped towards Lucifer while enjoying the scene before his eyes.

"Sigh, we really overestimated you. If I had known that these were your actual skills, I would have advised Xander against using so many resources here."

"I can't even believe that someone like you was capable of killing the four members we sent to catch you in Legion city and our two members here. They were killed by you. Such a disappointment." he sighed as he continued stepping closer to Lucifer.

Cough! Cough!

Lucifer pushed himself up as he replied, "Do you expect me to thank you for such lessons?"

Sarcasm was evident in his tone.

"Hahaha, no need. I am not teaching you. I am just pointing out how stupid you are to think that you can take on people who have years of professional experience like us. Do you think killing a few people makes you strong?"

"Do you think you are some big shot that can destroy government facilities alone? Hah! You make me laugh. I detest people like you the most who misuse their powers."
