Chapter 441: Speed vs. Speed

Alexa swings her sword in the air while looking at the Ghost Lady in Lucien's scabbard. "Don't use that sword because I don't want to break it with your body..."

"I would also hate it if that happened." Lucien smiles.

"Are you really going to do this?" Alexa can't believe that Lucien really wants to fight her. She didn't think he was someone arrogantly stupid, but now she's in doubt.

He sighs. "You are the only one who seems hesitant here."

She rolls her eyes. "I just don't like unfair fights... I don't know how you survived that attack before, but it would be shocking if you could survive for a whole minute with me fighting seriously."

Lucien's eyes sparkle with excitement. "What if I can survive a minute? Do I get a reward or something?"

"If you can get up on your own after a minute, I promise to listen to you for ten minutes. Is that okay for you?" She asks.

He quickly shakes his head. "What about ten minutes?"

"Ten minutes? Are you really crazy ??" She asks. Alexa is not overly confident, but the difference in power between them is immense. "If you are still alive after ten minutes, I will lie on your lap and listen to you for an entire day..."

"Deal!!" Lucien quickly extends his hand to her.

[What the...] Alexa is shocked again. She can see the excitement in Lucien's eyes and a part of her says that he is not stupid, so he must have many tricks prepared.

But she reaches out and shakes his hand. "You know I'm not going to take it easy, right? Don't blame me if..."

"Alexa..." Helena doesn't like to see someone threatening Lucien. Maybe because she spent a lot of time protecting him, maybe because she is still afraid of that mysterious woman, or maybe because she is starting to like him.

"Okay, grandma." She smiles at Helena. "I'm just going to beat him until I get that confident smile off his face."

While granddaughter and grandmother talk, Lucien flies to Angela's floating platform and looks at the Sins and his sisters. "Pride is not here, but I would still like to know your opinion."

"This is crazy!!" Lust materializes her body and looks at him with an imploring expression. "I don't like to see you in pain, and your wives think so too."

Lucien strokes Lust's face. He shares all feelings with her, so he understands the pain she feels because of his pain. "Trust me, okay? This is the best way."

"Maybe there are other ways..." Sloth also demonstrates that she is against that idea. "Alexa doesn't seem irrational. She lost control with the reunion with Helena, but I think we can reach an agreement just by talking."

He shakes his head. "She is too arrogant to accept an alliance so easily. We need to show her our true potential, and I am the best example of that. Also, if she doesn't feel it personally, she will still have doubts."

"You're just going to be beaten; what will that mean?" Wrath asks.

Three Sins are against that idea, so Lucien looks at Envy. Surprising everyone, she smiles confidently at him. "You can't win, but I know you won't be won so easily either, and she'll have to lie on your lap for the whole day."

"I agree." Amelia and Sophia speak at the same time.

"Three to three..." He thinks aloud as he looks at Donna. "You have the last word, sister."

Donna is really confused. She definitely doesn't want her little brother to be beaten, and she also knows that he can't win that fight.

But, when she wonders if it were Eve there, despite all the odds, she would believe in her bis sis. And now, in Eve's absence, Lucien is like a big brother to her and their sisters, so Donna makes a bold decision.

"Do your best, brother." She smiles at Lucien.

He smiles back and nods at her before flying towards Alexa and Helena. But then he stops in the air and looks at his wives. "I also care about your opinion, my beloved wives."

Cassidy steps forward and speaks for all her sisters. "We will always support you because we are sure you can do anything!"

The other girls nods, and Angela winks at him. 'You don't have to win, so use your speed and abilities to gain advantages.'

Lucien is pleased with the support of his wives, but he knows they will be upset when they see him taking a heavy beating.

Then he goes back to flying towards Alexa, but Sophia quickly appears in front of him, flying on her floating pillow. Then she kisses his lips while her eyes shine like a bright green light.

He feels a lot of life energy as well as Sophia's demonic energy entering his body. She is trying her best to boost him as much as possible, and only she can do something like that due to her control over her energies.

'You're going to need this...' She says in his mind.

'Thank you, my love.' Lucien thank her because he knows that he will need a lot of life mana to stay on his feet after ten minutes of fighting Alexa.

He has to stop the kiss, or Sophia would try to give all her energy to him. Then he smiles at her and quickly flies toward Alexa before Amelia tries something like that.

"You should use whatever you have, and even then, this fight is not going to be fair." Alexa comments after feeling Sophia giving energy to Lucien.

"Ten minutes." He responds. "I can resist for ten minutes."

Alexa is really curious to see Lucien's full potential. If he proves to be a really powerful ally, it will be beneficial to her.

"Are you ready?" She asks as she tightens her sword hilt.

Lucien looks at Helena and can see that she looks really concerned for him. Then he smiles at her while answering Alexa. "Yes."

"So, let's start," Alexa comments as she looks at Helena. "Grandma..."

"This is not a fight to the death." Helena states as she flies to Angela's floating platform.

Lucien and Alexa look at each other while Lust speaks in his mind. 'Her sword is a Soul Weapon, and due to her high power level, it's really powerful.'

Alexa swings her longsword in the air while Lucien materializes his golden naginata. Then he waves to her. "I'm on the defensive, so come to me."

She looks him in the eye as her eyes start to turn gray because of her wind mana. "Here I go!"

*WHOOOSH*

Alexa flaps her wings so hard, creating powerful wind waves behind her as she attacks Lucien with her longsword. Her movements are so fast that no one there, not even Helena, can follow them with her eyes.

Due to his so incredible senses, Lucien can see Alexa's movement. But as much as he boosts his body with demonic energies, he still feels that his speed is inferior to hers.

Everything happens very fast, and yet he sees the long silver blade approaching his chest as he tries to fly backward in slow motion.

[Damn!!] He curses in his mind while he realizes that he underestimated Alexa's speed or overestimated his.

In a horizontal movement, Alexa's sword reaches Lucien's body and quickly cuts through his demonic energy armor before starting to cut his chest.

As soon as she feels her sword cutting his flesh, Alexa prepares to retreat not to kill him, but then she notices that he alone manages to get out of reach of her blade.

*Whooosh*

Lucien's wings also create waves of wind as he flies backward. His blood splashes, but he manages to avoid that blow, with a superficial cut on his chest.

[Hmmm...] Alexa smiles as she realizes that Lucien dodged that blow. If she defeated him with just one blow, that would be disappointing.

But as she said, she doesn't think to take it easy, so while she is still making that horizontal cut with her sword, she keeps flying towards Lucien.

He thought she would try to attack with her sword again, but he sees her heading towards him while using those wind waves as an impulse. And as he is flying backward, he is unable to avoid her.

Due to the proximity they are and the fact that Alexa is unable to initiate another attack with her sword before Lucien gets away from her, she tries to hit him with her body, precisely her left shoulder, benefiting from the impulse she used to swing her sword rightward.

For Lucien and Alexa, that is a series of complex movements made in a few hundredths of a second. But for the spectators, she tries to attack him with her sword, and after he avoids, in the same movement, she attacks him with her shoulder.

*BAM* *CRACK*

A sound of impact and another of crackling bones is heard as Lucien's body is thrown backward by hundreds of meters.

A wave of force is created by the impact of Lucien's Alexa bodies, but the Sins quickly make barriers of demonic energy to protect the girls while they are concerned for Lucien.

Alexa is in the air with a shocked expression as she feels pain in her left shoulder. "He has such hard bones..."

Lucien mentally warns his wives that he is fine, but it takes him a few seconds to regain control of his body. That blow broke all his chest armor and crushed part of his flesh, but his bones are still intact and golden.

Then, while the angels look at him with curious expressions, he flies back towards Alexa.

"Good..." Alexa comments as she looks at Lucien's chest and sees his flesh regenerate at incredible speed. "You don't break easy, don't you?"

"I hope so." He smiles at her.

"Then I will try again!" Alexa warns before starting another attack in the direction of Lucien. But this time, she does not try to cut with her sword but to pierce, aiming again at his chest.

*WHOOOSH*

Lucien again feels that Alexa's speed is insane. In fact, speed is also her main attribute due to her major wind affinity, and she's not even trying to use it to the fullest to boost her speed even more.

Due to his wings being very large and strong, superior to the wings of angels, Lucien manages to rotate his body while flying back and to the side at the same time, trying to avoid that impressive Soul Weapon again. He still doesn't want to try to block it as it will consume his energies more quickly.

Again, Alexa feels her blade start to cut his flesh after cutting his armor, but he also manages to avoid most of that attack.

Then her eyes glow gray as she creates waves of wind to help her redirect her attack quickly. Spreading her wings open wide, she rotates her body and makes a powerful horizontal cut in the direction of Lucien.

Just as she expected, he is still flying backward, increasing the distance between them, so the tip of her sword passes several inches from his body, but at the same time, Its blade shines, creating another blade, a wind blade, or rather a Wind Slash. And from that distance, Lucien can't avoid that attack.

*WHOOOSH*

That brutal wind energy blade reaches Lucien's body instantly, but unlike the damage Alexa expected it to do to him, the Wind Slash is blocked by an invisible wind barrier around his body, breaking at the same time as Its wind energy is dissipated in the air.

[What?!?] Alexa and Lucien think at the same time.

Lust quickly analyzes his body and realizes that more than half of his wind mana is gone, or rather, acted on Its own to protect his body, wind vs. wind.

On Angela's floating platform, Cassidy, Mia, and Madelyn feel their wind energies agitate with their demonic energy.
