Chapter 51 12: Balgura Attacks! [2]
There was a sudden howling of the wind before something smashed into the guard tower behind the wall creating a humanoid shape that was flung from the forest and crashed into the stone, now half embedded.
"Lucifer!?"
"A-ah... fuck, it's so huge..." Lucifer's voice was a mixture of irritation and excitement as he pulled his body from the stone wall and dropped beside Bernard and the old men with a bright smile, despite his forehead bleeding and arm slightly bent. "Oh! Old man, those daggers are fucking awesome!"
"L-lad.... yer arm.... I think it's broken' are ye alreet?" Whether it was because Lucifer was high on adrenaline or his bloodlust, somehow the words of Bernard were more thick with his accent than normal.
He placed his hand on the wooden wall before leaping again, slamming on the ground as a massive figure emerged from the forest, pushing them apart and snapping the thick trunks with its plump black hide and brutal silver claws that easily sliced through their bark.
"Oooooh!? The Fack is that!
"Holy shit!"
"Bugger me' tits... I think we're fucked!"
Lucifer chuckled at the old men, remembering his past life and how they sounded like the geezers in the pub watching snooker or horse racing.
*Thud*
"GRRRRR!" The bellowing roar of the huge black bear with strange spines and bone armour covering its front paws and chest, small indentation likely from Lucifer's attack earlier.
"I think you need to start firing..." Bernard said with a strange voice, like a sigh.
*Tap*
Gwen's silver boots landed on the ground beside Lucifer, her body with a faint silver glow from her Valkyrie transformation, her wings folded, and a cute silver helmet on her head.
"Darling, you got beat by a silly bear. Why not offer it some honey?"
"Gwen, my dear, how about you stab it in the throat and see how the fucker reacts?"
"Oh, don't worry. I'll catch you when you're sent flying."
"Fufu~ you look excited. Can I be excited about tonight's sex?"
As this huge bear with ferocious teeth longer than most of the guard's swords slowly approached, sniffing the scent of the bastard that cut its head bald with a dagger, the guards were no longer scared.
"Why are they flirting now!?"
"Hahaha~ hear that boy! How can some damn bear get us when we might become grandfathers tonight!"
"I am not here... I didn't want to hear this... Let's go home and sleep..." Jeff covered his ears—it was like listening to his sister talking about sex for him, causing him unexpected mental damage.
Gwen leaned forward, whispering into Lucifer's pointed ear, "Is that enough to soothe their nerves... How is your wound? Did it heal yet?"
He looked at her with a bitter smile, as always a good wife can see through her man. Lucifer's body was injured due to the sudden blow, and the stone was something he couldn't face with his body just yet. "Ah... thanks love, I'll go piss it off, so you try and skewer it."
<<Blood Boil>>
Instantly his body began to bulge, muscles throbbing with thick veins while his power exploded, causing his aura to crackle—grasping the two black daggers.
Lucifer lunged forward, each step digging into the ground until he adjusted, and only a slight tap was heard as he darted around the huge bear and began to shank and slash at its huge flanks.
When the bear felt the sharp pain from the annoying bastard, his huge paws tried to crush and swat the annoying white man, but Lucifer was more alert, dodging with rolls and even stepping onto the huge paw before stomping down as the bear's body buckled.
"Grrrrrrr!!!!"
"What are you waiting for, you limp dick fools! Fire your damn arrows!" Gwen's rough voice echoed as she saw her beloved forced to dance around like a ballerina to dodge the deadly blows that would turn anyone here into mush.
"Ahhh!?"
"Fire!"
"Volley!"
All the useless guards were frozen with fear and awe from the display as Lucifer's body ran along the back of the huge bear.
His actions caused it to roll around and run in circles, trying to catch him, now exposing its unprotected ass for them to fire, as bloody red lances were tossed into the bear's abdomen by the small Lucifer.
All the men and women on the wall pulled back their makeshift bows, hunting bows of all varieties that would fire—even Irina grasped a crossbow with her delicate hands, her eyes glowing red in her combat mode.
Irina's lips opened with a gentle but beautiful melody, "Maiden of light, Celestia, bless our arrows with your divine might!"
<<Holy Enchantment>>
The next moment a beautiful golden light illuminated all of the arrow tips and spears held by the guardsmen and villagers here to help.
"OH!! The pretty twin-tail lassie is helping! Fire boys!" Bernard was always happy to have some action at his age—now the old men were showing off as some pretty women were watching with worried eyes.
Pretty... But in their 40s, the perfect ripe age for old men to lust for.
"Hmph, damn little girl showing off!" Gwen pouted, her wings flapping as she took to the skies—instead of fighting with her spear, she began to copy Irina as if to compete fairly.
Her finger pointed towards the huge bear as arrows began to rain from the sky, illuminating the darkness with a beautiful array of white lights, "I call upon my divine might, strike down my enemies and protect my beloved!"
<<Holy Smite>>
The instant the arrows came close to the bear, a mass of huge bolts of silver lightning began to rain down and strike the arrowheads, fusing with the divine blessing of Irina as they penetrated the bear's hide like a hot knife cutting tofu.
"GRRRRR!!!!?!!!" Over 20 arrows penetrated 30cm deep into the bear's back end, blood spurting from each hole, while the inside of each wound was torn apart by the hot blessing of Celestia and the violent lightning of Gwendolyn.
"Reload! Nock your arrows!"
"Look to the east! Another pack of bears!"
"Target the new bears! Keep them OFF, Lucifer!" Jeff shouted, his crossbow instantly shooting at the smaller black and grey bears rushing towards Lucifer, who was forced to block the bear's blows with his daggers, sliding along the dirt with each heavy blow.
Their attack enranged Balgura—its body was now like a bodybuilder on steroids as its howling roar caused the grass to tear apart and the trees to shake from its mere breath.
"Fucking Bears!" Lucifer muttered, his body leaping into the air, twisting himself and stabbing down with both daggers to crush through the skull of a smaller bear, destroying its brain completely.
'This is so fun!'
His eyes spotted the huge paw of Balgura sweeping across the sky, almost too fast for him to dodge the sheer pressure from the wind caused his body to lock in place for a moment as he jumped back, grabbing another of the black bears that tried to bite his neck, tossing it in the path of the bear's huge paw.
*Shred**Pierce*
The black bear's body was torn into shreds, batted away by its mother and smashed into the tree, becoming a meat paste as Lucifer showed an amused smile.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!" It seems that Lucifer's actions pissed her off more as she charged at him with blood-red eyes.
'Looks like I have no choice...' He thought, about to unleash his Crimson. "You know... I wanted to be a good guy, like that ginger shinigami and his cool power-up..."
