Lust Knight

Chapter 653 The Golden Handsome Devil

*ROOOOOOOAARRRR!!!* The Kraken that just emerged from a portal above Saria roars at Lucien, furious due to his intrusion.

The creature's roar is so powerful that it shakes thousands of Mermaids and even Oya, on the other side of the battlefield, feels like going to Lucien to help him face such a powerful enemy.

That Kraken is much bigger than the others and has more signs of experiments over Its body like chains, holes, and cuts; it is evident that that creature is special, and its power is at the peak of the Immortal Realm, closer to the Cosmic Realm than any other Kraken so far.

But that doesn't make Lucien afraid; in fact, he's angrier at that Kraken than anyone else because, while attacking 'his' Mermaids is a terrible transgression, attacking Saria, the most lovely Mermaid ever, is totally unforgivable.

He summons his golden naginata and holds it with both hands to face that Kraken. The glow of such a powerful weapon draws the attention of the Kraken, who changes targets out of instinct.

But it's not just the Kraken that is impressed by the brightness of Aylin's naginata; that golden glow is reflected directly in the eyes of Greed, who can't help but be tempted by such a treasure.

Greed shares some traits with Envy and Gluttony, but while one of her sisters is more focused on things with good energy and the other on things that are valuable to specific people, Greed is interested in everything that shines and anything precious enough to catch her eyes.

Aylin's naginata is not only one of the greatest legendary treasures in the universe, but it is also the brightest one, having the purest golden glow ever. It is undeniable that this weapon pairs very well with Greed's characteristics.

But no matter how attracted Greed is to the golden naginata, the man who wields it is far more interesting than the weapon itself, and when she looks at him, her eyes sparkle more than ever.

When the Kraken finishes roaring, everyone in front of it is shaken except Lucien and the women behind him. He's especially excited as a confident smile appears on his face, and his eyes sparkle with a mixture of purple and golden.

"Now..." He starts talking while focusing his energies on the naginata "...is..." Then he swings the blade towards the Kraken, releasing a powerful energy wave as he jumps towards the creature, giving continuity to his attack. "...my turn!!!

Lucien looks so amazing now; with his swift and elegant movements, with his cool and confident behavior, he attacks a creature that should cause fear even in the most powerful Immortal Realm people.

His golden burning slashes slice through the creature's tentacles and body before he lands on Its head with a brutal finishing. That Kraken should explode like all the others, but Lucien gets shocked to see the creature not retreating but more tentacles coming towards him.

[What???] Lucien is confused as he tries to understand how he missed the number of tentacles already cut. And in midair, he flaps its wings towards the Kraken, stopping its movement as he prepares to defend himself from the creature's attack.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

He manages to cut off those tentacles that came toward him, but he can hear more tentacles coming out of the water, which makes him even more confused.

'It's regenerating!' Lust exclaims in Lucien's mind, explaining to him why more tentacles are appearing.

Lucien immediately understands what's happening, but the Kraken acts quickly, surrounding him with dozens of new tentacles. He used a lot of energy on that last attack and can't create another attack like that so quickly, which decreases his offensive capabilities. Also, his spatial mana is low since he left Amelia behind to save Saria.

He focuses on blocking a part of the tentacles, as does Lust, but half of his flank is still unprotected, which causes him to curse in his mind. [Damn!!]

The Kraken doesn't hesitate, it's relentless, but before its tentacles hit Lucien's back, two figures appear around him.

*Blink*

Amelia teleports to Lucien's side and quickly makes her double white swords dance between the Kraken's tentacles, slashing them along with the help of Envy and her black daggers.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

More tentacles fall into the sea and more rise from the Kraken, attacking Lucien relentlessly. But golden blades appear above them along with water blades, and together they attack the new tentacles.

"What the hell is happening???" Saria quickly asks.

"The creature appears to have incredible regenerative power!" Lust quickly explains.

Like Lucien's???" Greed thinks aloud.

"No one is like Lucien!" Envy can't help but comment as even in such a dangerous situation, she doesn't miss praising her man.

Saria couldn't agree more with those words, and in fact, she's offended just for someone comparing Lucien to a monster.

But now they have more to worry about than pride, and she makes a confused expression. "Krakens shouldn't have such an ability... how can they use life mana so efficiently being shadow creatures???"

"It's not using life mana..." Lust comments as she points to the remains of other Krakens in the sea. "It's using death as fuel; I mean the dark mana left behind by the dead Krakens."

"So gross!!" Amelia exclaims as she cuts more tentacles alongside Lucien and the other girls.

"They have no end!!" Claire comments as she feels her demonic energy dropping faster than she and Greed can generate.

"What should we do???" Saria can't help but looks to Lucien, seeking his leadership.

Everything is happening too fast, but Lucien and Lust's minds together can think even faster. "The plan is simple; we attack all at once and don't give the creature a chance to regenerate."

"Alright!" The girls and Sins quickly agree as that plan sounds just good.

"On three..." Lucien comments as he gathers his energies for the biggest attack so far. But the fact that he has to keep dealing with the new tentacles makes everything harder.

Yet, the girls' help and especially their natural synchrony allows them to help each other get ready. "One..."

*ROOAR*

The Kraken can sense Lucien and his girls preparing for something big, so the creature attacks even more fiercely.

But the group also increases their efforts, and Lucien continues to count. "Two..."

*ROOOOOOAR*

The Kraken realizes that Its tentacles alone won't be enough to stop the group, so the creature also fires a toxic black jet at them, destroying Its own tentacles in the process.

The group didn't expect an attack like that, and even Lust, Envy, and Greed couldn't react to that right away. But just when the situation seems to get pretty bad, one more figure joins the group.

"DOOOON'T..." Naomi's shout echoes across the battlefield as the pink glow of her great shield drives away the darkness from Lucien and the girls. "MESS WITH MY FAMILY!!!"

In size, Naomi's round shield is much smaller than that Kraken's toxic jet, but it has four spikes that spread out, creating a large barrier that protects the party from that attack. And Gluttony keeps behind Naomi, causing her shield to absorb all that energy, which is devoured by them and turned into demonic energy.

Lucien smiles as he sees the little Naomi standing in front of him so bravely and protectively. He wishes he could hug her and say how grateful he is for her being his sister, but he can't do it right now.

He's ready, and so are the girls, so he finishes counting as he launches his attack from over Naomi's shield. "Three!!!"

"NOW!!!" The Sins exclaim, and the girls follow them with their most powerful ranged attacks.

Amelia and Envy throw their daggers toward the Kraken's eyes, carrying the full power of their demonic energy.

Claire and Greed fire hundreds of golden blades over the creature's body, also carrying the full potential of their power.

Saria doesn't hold back either and also fires hundreds of water spears toward the creature without sparing mana.

And in the midst of that arch of powerful attacks, Lucien and Lust launch their offensives in a closer way.

A huge colorful explosion occurs over that Kraken's body, and waves of energy are spread in all directions as the impact of such a joint attack falls mostly on the creature's head.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The girls can't help but be worried about Lucien because he was so close to the Kraken, but before that light show fades, his voice reaches them; however, his tone is anything but positive. "IT'S NOT OVER!!!"

"What?!?!?" The girls can't believe the Kraken survived that devastating attack, but the creature's roar follows Lucien's voice in an enraged tone.

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!*
