Third Person
After Black took care of the female dragon, he shifted back, kept his wings out as he flew towards the broken window.
He entered the castle, where Lucifer writhed in pain, blood coming out of his ears, Lucifer groaned as he was finally able to stand from the lingering effects Blacks roar had on him.
"You would think you had it out for me." He joked.
"You're weakness is why I slept, I didn't awake till he got here and bed the one he was meant to love." Black stated, disgust lacing his voice.
Lucifer froze then glanced at Meliodas, then at Lilith.
"You mean you slept with… that?!" Lucifer shouted angrily.
"Better than you whose had every pussy inside Hells City." Lilith countered.
Lucifer flinched.
"Ouch." Black taunted.
Lucifer limped his way to the throne, Meliodas, who had saidnothing since Black returned -finally spoke.
"I Meliodas, challenge you for the role of king." He said, strong and confident.
"Well, isn't that something." Lucifer snapped and they all appeared at the arena.
The stands full of the soldiers of both sides, they sat in anticipation, they had set aside their fight to witness the change of leadership.
Lilith and Black stood in the royalty section of the arena, above everyone else, a perfect view of the full dirt arena floor.
"I Lucifer, King of Hell, accept your challenge and hereby command that this fight…" he paused for dramatic effect.
"Is to the death." Lucifer finished after a beat of silence, gasps and murmurs filled the audience. Lilith felt her anxiety spike -she-didn't want him hurt, Black however leaned against the wall of the royal box and crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his face
He knew what the ending of this fight would be, Lilith knew in her heart that Meliodas would come out on top but that didn't mean she had to like watching him get hurt.
Lucifer started by transforming into his demon form, gone was the man from before. Now there was a fix foot four demon in front of Meliodas.
Only in his demon form did Lucifer meet Meliodas in height. The horns coming out from the sides of his head curled at the end almost that of a bull.
His snake like tail came to and arrow point and his arms grew to twice the size that they were in his human form.
Lilith shook slightly, the memories of the past flooded her mind, Lucifer had used this form to abuse her, to rape her.
She glanced at Meliodas and met his gaze as he winked at her, and she relaxed in the chair.
Meliodas will win. She thought, I know he will.
Lucifer smiled wickedly as Meliodas made no move totransform.
He didn't need to.
His demon, after loving Lilith, had grown in size and power.
His demon was over fifteen feet high, his demon sported wings that was littered with holes and tears. His demon would only scare this miniature demon, in fact he heard his demon laughing in his head now.
Meliodas smirked.
"Well? You gonna just stand there or are you going to fight me?"He taunted, withdrawing his sword that had followed him from his human life.
It radiated with energy, hummed with anticipation -it hadn't tasted blood since before Meliodas had died.
Lucifer lunged first, arms outstretched, hands clawed out like an eagle swooping in for a fish. Meliodas, skillfully turned out of his reach, and as he turned, he swung his sword.
It struck Lucifer with grace and confidence, slicing his skin like a knife through melted butter. Slicing Lucifer down to the bone as it went along his ribcage on his left side.
Lucifer howled in pain as he attempted to turn out of the swords path, but the sword seemed to follow him, and so Lucifer turned up hisbody heat effectively melting Meliodas' sword.
Meliodas dropped it, hissing in pain at his burned hand.
"Real mature." He snapped, but then something in the distance grabbed Meliodas' attention.
A bright white orb floating towards him, and as it slowly approached him, Lucifer clarified what it was.
"It's a soul." He snapped, breathing hard as he clutched hisside, he'd cauterized himself when he turned up his body heat to melt the sword, but it still hurt.
The soul stopped in front of Meliodas. Who glanced at Lilith, who gestured for him to cup his hands out as if he was cradling it in his hands.
He followed Liliths lead and drew his attention back to the orb, his conscience was sucked into the orb, a bright white light surrounded him at all angles.
Then he spotted someone, he'd know the back of that person anywhere.
"Arthur?"
Meliodas
Once I was in this… orb, I began to look around, itwas much like heaven though, all white and nothing else, then I spotted him.
He wore sparkling silver armor that was almost completely hidden by an all white with gold trim cape with fur around the top and a gold sparkling crown rested on his head, his short brown hair just solidified that I knew.
"Arthur?" I called out, he turned and I teared up.
"It's good to see you Meliodas." He stated, voice breaking, I closed the distance and we embraced each other.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as we stepped away from each other, giving us enough space between us.
"I've come to give you something, to help you." He stated, pulling out his sword from his side.
I stared agape at his very famous sword, at least for the mortals, everyone knows this sword.
42 total inches long with the blade itself being 34 of those inches. The gold hand guard was glistening brightly in contrast to the surrounding white, the stainless steel double edged blade sung in happiness at being out of it's confined space that was it's sheath. The Celtic pattern that the blacksmith had designed into the steel came to a stop at the hand guard. The hilt was wire brass wrapped topped with a rounded piece of brass that the smith had designed a dragon into.
Arthur smiled genuinely as he laid it flat, presenting me his companion, this sword had never failed him, though he'd gotten mortally wounded in the last fight we fought together, he disappeared.
With his soul being here, did that mean that Arthur died?
"I can't take that." I whispered.
"It wants you as it's next master Meliodas," it faded into avoid, "all you need to do, is call for it." He explained.
"It will not fail you as it hasn't failed me." He whispered.
He clasped my shoulder as the white surrounding us began to fade.
"You must go back, your opponent has begun to get impatient." He said frustrated.
"Use it Meliodas, it has the powers you need to help you inthis fight." He explained.
"Like what?" I asked, stalling and as the rest faded into black, Arthur answered.
"It won't melt."
Back in my body, a stray tear rolling down my cheek, I wiped it and allowed the orb to go free, and it briskly floated away.
"Done with your reunion?" Lucifer snapped
"Not quite but let's fight anyway." I said ominously, Lucifer frowned but wasted no time in lunging again.
This time lower, he was aiming for my stomach area so I went lower, both knees sunk into the dirt as Lucifer soared over me.
I extended my demons claws and raked them down his chest and stomach, stopping short of his appendage.
Lucifer's blood spilled out of his body and onto mine, some splattering onto the ground, and he landed into a heap on the dirt floor.
Lucifer growled as his glowing red eyes met mine, I growled back, shaking the arena with the ferocity and force of the growl.
Lucifer flinched but didn't waver in his assault, he lunged again, the same way as he had before but this time I went above.
Flipping over him as he suddenly went down as if he'd expected me to be underneath him again.
He looked up in surprise and watched me land several feet from him, this time I lunged.
I aimed for his heart, Lucifer reacted in kind, fast enough to block his heart and finally stab me in the left side. I groaned in pain, andI struck him in the shoulder with my claws.
We got away from each other, and he looked at me, furious.
"How are you holding your own, I'm in my most powerful form." He yelled, frustrated.
Laughter from the royal box had Lucifer glaring at Black.
"Powerful isn't the word I'd use." He said in between his laughter.
"What did that soul give you?!" He demanded.
"Well not that it's any of your business… he gave me a sword." I said simply, Lucifer frowned.
"I'll just melt that one as I did the previous one." He mocked, and I felt it's presence, it's need to taste the blood of my enemy, how bloodthirsty it was.
"I'll show you."
