A Love In Dark Times

“Wait Richard, let's go to the canteen, we'll drink some cold ones to open these letters, I have to have my ears wide open understand their messages, meanwhile keep telling the story.

“We were in which Lucifer, even with his reduced power for being on holy ground, crushed Luis and the beauty of Angie, while poor Guio tried to untie her,

-It's useless,” Guio complained in anguish, “but I can't let my girlfriend die in this situation.

“You must learn to let go, you were in some kind of romance with that snake girl anyway, the truth, I didn't want to kill he she just bit me first, I just reacted,” Lucifer explained while attacking him with some clumsy blows.

-1 will not forgive you for that and I will do anything to protect Luisa, if I have to give my life for her I will do it without hesitation,” he announced trying to attack him, lunging with several thrusts, while Lucifer played at bullfighting, again the clumsiness favoured him, his feet got tangled, stumbling, releasing the sword that was buried in one of Lucifer’s eyes. “You bastard, you'll pay for this, I'll take out both your eyes,” roared the king of demons, grabbing Guio, who managed to dodge some blows, thanks to the perception and pain that affected Lucifer's aim, although even that punishment would not last that long, in seconds he was lying on the ground with Guio’s belly about to explode, while Luisa screamed and cried endlessly trying to get loose.

-Stop Lucifer, you know you can't attack in this reality.

-Right grand master, I know, they just attacked me first, I'm just defending myself, I'm glad you arrived, the last masters, today I'll finish them all’ Lucifer shouted at them with a metallic and screeching voice at the same time.

He pulled out his claw in its entirety and swiped at Guio with the intention of splitting him.

1 won't let you Lucifer,” shouted the great master hitting him with a flying kick sending him to the horizon, the demon kir had to bury his claws in the ground to stop the force of the attack, then he extended his wings charging a blow of evil energy that connected to the great master, who only managed to stop it with his forearm,

-I see you have chosen the wrong battle ground, Lucifer, this will be the end of you,” announced the grandmaster, striking him in the face with a fist, bursting his mouth.

-Phew, I didn't think I'd fare so badly, I've had a chunk cut off, an eye gouged out and now you've broken my fangs, truly your power is unquestionable.

We will eliminate you right here, Lord Lucifer, we will not accept your surrender.

-But great master, you know you can't leave hell without a master, that would be chaos.

-there it would be chaos, not here and suddenly I'm going to take over, I'd improve that system of redemption.

Great master, we'd better let the blows do the talking, they should all attack me, I want to taste despair and defeat. -Let's attack as a pack,” ordered the grandmaster and everyone was hitting lucifer like a beach ball, until he stopped moaning, becoming motionless.

1s he dead?” asked Marco.

-It's possible, but just in case, let's finish him off,” proposed the great master, and everyone jumped up, readying their fist for their target, determined to pulverise every atom of their dying enemy.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," the laughter was heard all around, “they thought they were good.

Between lightning bolts the landscape changed from that field to a hellish one, with clay walls, lava holes and a sulphuro air.

“What happened, great master, asked Yaqui in anguish.

-It's as if someone changed the scenery, now we are in hell where he will be invincible, I think we will have to flee, taking the fallen with us,” mentioned the great master, worried.

-It can't be that he did this, he was almost dead,” added Francisco's traitor.

He must have some collaborator capable of such power,” said Guio rising from the blood-stained ground, “with the help a friend we have followed them and they have left in their trail some ruins of ancient prisons.

Yes, of course, I formed my army again," the voice rumbled and thousands of armed demons appeared on the horizon, commanded by El Patas, La Tarasca and the five horsemen of the apocalypse, “You are lost! -and the voice took shape, lit by little a revitalised Lucifer appeared like a bonfire, larger and surrounded by an aura of red fire, those who will be destroyed are others, here I have no limitations, it is my kingdom and here I command, -we will fight to the death,” said t great master raising his sword, running towards the army that remained motionless.

Stop, the fight is still with me, they will only be spectators,” said the king of demons, kissing his right bicep.

All the masters attacked him with their best weapons and tricks, but he again only played with them like a cat with a mouse when it is full.

He removed the head of one of them and smilingly threw it to the public who shouted cheers and cheers, he began to hit them without measuring himself, bursting them with a single blow to show his power, little by little it was turning into a carnage, the masters continued to be decimated.

Only the great master managed to hit him with blows that seemed to be wind blows for not hurting him, which led him tc take the difficult decision:

Retreat, those who can, summon a portal to safety, every man for himself!

-Don't think it will be that easy,” Lucifer interrupted him, “this is my kingdom and whatever I say is done here, so I forbid their portals.

Some of the remaining masters tried and only produced derisive laughter from the audience.

This is over until I say so, I will try not to kill them with a single blow.

Meanwhile, Luisa couldn't stop screaming at the sight of so much horror and couldn't get free, until the fifth horseman approached her, gossiping and telling her: “shut up, shut up, with so much screaming:

shut up, with so much screaming you don't let us enjoy the fight, you should sit with us and watch.

-If 1 could let go, 1 would start fighting, I would try to destroy Lucifer,” replied Luisa, obfuscated.

Luisa, if you're the one chaining yourself.

“What do you mean? Tell gossip.

“You are chained with chains of guilt, that's why the more things happen that you feel you are guilty of, the stronger they become.

“How do I break them?

-1 suppose the same way you freed us, everything can be done with a coloured mind, with feelings, relax, they will die lik the warriors they are, pride is to die in battle and not as old men full of ailments.

Luisa concentrated, closed her eyes trying to isolate all guilt, forgiving herself for making so many mistakes, this caused her chains to break, she stretched her muscles, opened her eyes to contemplate again the horrifying landscape, all those corpses she once saw in the barracks, that of her teacher who gave her so many classes to learn to defend herself and th of her beloved Luis, the man with whom she thought she would share her life together. She raised her arms screaming, a; aura of fire enveloped her, flames coming out of her eyes and mouth, in her right hand came her huge sword Mery in viol flames and in her left hand rested the sword Darmela with that black glow and an eye appeared at the cross of the hilt, t demons screamed excitedly, She ran to Lucifer who thought he could stop her with only his claws as with all of them, but ended up losing his hands, the demons went crazy in frenzy, Lucifer flew into a wall scared, putting his nose and generati new arms, although Luisa took advantage of that moment stabbing him in the back five times, cut one wing and woundec the other preventing him from flying away.

-Luisa, we didn’t have to come to this," Lucifer roared, pulling two huge swords from the ground, “I wanted you to be my apprentice, now you will be fertilizer for this barren world.

Luisa was exchanging swords, suddenly she remembered what chisme told her and began to inject sensations and feelin; into her attacks, splitting her opponent's swords, and cutting his antlers as she tried to decapitate him and he dodged, losing part of his goat-like personality.

-Luisa wait, you can have your mother back! -Lucifer exclaimed, causing her to stop.

-How, in what way," asked Luisa intrigued.

“It's me," he immediately transformed himself just like her mother, saying: “Daughter, give me a kiss.

You bastard! -she shouted at him, burying her swords in his chest.

Lucifer returned to his original form, pulling out his swords with great difficulty, a black liquid gushing from his wounds. -Don't mess with my mother, Luisa warned him angrily.

-1 only wanted to motivate you my dear luisa and now you are making a fool of me,” whispered lucifer vomiting that blackish stinking liquid and making a sign for nobody in the audience to intervene, “well it's been a long time since I needed to fight seriously, it's always good to go to the limit once in a while, -A black fire engulfed him, healing his wound increasing his size, making him more like a mixture of goat and pit bull, but with the body of a bodybuilder with huge bat wings and a huge spear with a bladed tip came flying from the palace, it was the king's sceptre.

it roared loudly making the whole underworld tremble, and in the blink of an eye it attacked Luisa pushing her against th clay wall where it pressed her with blows, she could not move due to the punishment that this powerful beast was inflicting on her.

Ym sorry Luisa, you will know the meaning of inevitable," he said, readying the spear to cut her in two.

“We won't let you,” interrupted the great master, attacking him along with all the other surviving masters, Lucifer waved h spear, throwing them all against the walls, laughing:

ha-ha-ha-ha, -you are dead, you just don't realise it, like souls in pain.

Again he went to finish off Luisa who reacted by calling the swords with which he stopped that spear, the slashes provoke a rain of lights, making hell look like a discotheque, the turns seemed that the battle was even and suddenly in power ye although Lucifer had the advantage of power and knowledge, So he attacked her with all his power, launching a hammer blow with his spear that Louise was forced to parry with both swords, and at the same time Lucifer gave her a powerful k in the belly, knocking the air out of her, causing her to collapse to her knees, clutching her belly, Lucifer spun around several times, made a comeback to the crowd, jumped with the spear in the air and landed with the spear in luisa’s back, piercing her, so that she could see the blade come out of her chest and bury itself in the ground.
