Lust Knight (Web Novel)

Wrath can see the anger in Lucien's eyes as he chokes her. Well, as her body is made up of energy, she can modify her organs to avoid having to breathe.

And she also understands why he is angry. Donna is his sister, and he doesn't want her to go through difficult situations.

But all she has done with Donna is to prepare her for the harsh situations that will come because their lives will never be easy.

"Go on, boy." She speaks. "Break my neck if it will make you feel better. Yet, you seem to be playing with your sisters while you should be taking it seriously."

Lucien maintains a firm grip on Wrath's neck, confining her energy. "I'm taking this seriously, but you can't see it because you don't understand my methods."

"Bullshit!" She responds. "Maybe I don't understand much about Lust's powers, but I know how my host should act, and this hesitant and shameful attitude is not how she really is."

"So..." He tightens her neck even more. "We have to solve this somehow."

"Luci..." Donna quickly approaches him and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to do it for me."

Wrath smiles. "Oh no; he doesn't want to do it for you but for himself, because of his anger, the anger he has at me since we met, and he realized I beat you."

Donna doesn't know what to do. She understands that the only thing Wrath values is strength, and she respects that. But she didn't want to involve Lucien in that.

She knew he would try to do something to Wrath if he found out about that. But he is her little brother, so she is the one who should take care of him. Also, all of their siblings have to deal with their own Sins, and needing help would make Donna feel ashamed.

"Brother, you don't have to do it; I can handle Wrath; I just need time." She begs.

"I'm sure you can do it on your own." He smiles at her. "And you are going to do it soon, but now I have to do it for myself, as she said."

"Then..." Donna takes a step back while leaving Lucien and Wrath to solve their thing alone.

Lust also wants to support Lucien, but she knows Wrath well and how violent she is, in addition to her special abilities, so she quickly warns him mentally.

'Don't expect an easy fight. Wrath is much stronger than she looks.' She explains.

Meanwhile, Wrath holds Lucien's forearm. "Do it, boy; I know you want to unleash all your fury on me."

"Why do you want it so much?" He asks as he looks into her eyes.

She makes a confused expression. "Didn't Lust tell you how my demonic energy works?"

Lucien already understood that her demonic energy comes from anger, obviously. But it looks like it's not that simple, and before he asks, Lust speaks in his mind. 'It is not easy to fight Wrath, especially when you attack her directly in anger, as it makes her stronger.'

He can't help but find that ability really amazing. People who know Wrath well understand that to fight her, they need to stay calm and defensive until she runs out of demonic energy, but that's not what Lucien wants right now.

"I think you understand now, right?" Wrath asks as she generates more and more demonic energy due to Lucien's anger.

He smiles. "I don't care how much you become stronger; I will still punish you for bothering my sister."

Lucien ignores Lust's advice about Wrath's powers and keeps squeezing her neck. Maybe he wouldn't do that if she were a normal person, but just like Envy, she can't break, so he doesn't have to restrain himself. And about her getting stronger with his anger, well, he expects a challenging fight.

And Wrath realizes that. She can see in Lucien's eyes that he is not going to back down; he is not going to try to contain his anger even though he understands the whole situation.

In part, he is very similar to Donna and Wrath; he is stubborn, straightforward, and violent sometimes.

"I like this, boy." Wrath smiles. "If you were acting like that with Donna a minute ago, I wouldn't have to interfere."

He shakes his head with a disappointed expression. "You don't understand anything about relationships... in fact, you don't seem to understand anything but violence. So I'm going to speak in your language."

"Yeah." She speaks in a madly excited tone. "Let's do it right now; patience is not one of my qualities."

While maintaining his grip on Wrath's neck, Lucien smiles at Donna as he speaks in her mind. 'Wait just a minute, and we will be able to continue from where we stopped...'

Then at that moment, he hears the competitors in the center of the area finish their fight, leaving that area free. Lucien doesn't waste any more time and starts to move Wrath's body to the side.

*BAM* *SMASH!!*

Still confining her energy, he slams her body against a wall under construction, breaking it into many pieces of stone and dust.

Then he turns her body in a 360-degree arc before throwing her down towards the center of the arena.

*Whoosh* *BOOOOM*

Wrath's body hits the ground creating a crater and a cloud of dust while everyone in the arena is shocked. They didn't even see new competitors start a fight, nor did they think that level of destruction was possible because the fights there were always friendly.

From the top of the arena, Lucien and Donna look at the dust cloud with thoughtful expressions. They can both feel Wrath's aura growing wildly in ways they've never seen before.

'Lucien!!!' Lust exclaims in his mind while he hears a sound coming from the center of the arena.

A long red chain that glows like fiery flames comes out of the dust cloud heading towards him at super speed. Just by the appearance of that chain, Lucien already knows that it is not a simple thing.

But that speed is nothing to him, and he holds the sharp spike of the chain. His hand seems to burn; however, most of the damage is not to his body but to his soul.

"A soul weapon... more one." He thinks aloud as he feels furious energy run through his body.

Lucien's inner energies quickly contain Wrath's furious energy, but Lust remains concerned as she speaks in his mind. 'This is just the beginning. You are very angry with her, and she is using that anger. While you were talking, she must have gotten a lot of demonic energy...'

As soon as Lust speaks, they hear a sinister and excited laugh come from within the dust cloud. "Hahahahaha... this is going to be fun!"

Then another chain appears, coming towards Lucien. And two, four, ten, twenty... dozens of chains like the one in his hand create a huge attack, and the massive amount of furious energy in the air disperses the cloud of dust while scaring all the watchers.

The red glow of the chains reflects in Lucien's eyes as he smiles. Even using his maximum speed, he would still be surrounded by those chains that seem to be alive, so he can only use his teleport to avoid that.

[Huh???] But he is surprised to realize that he cannot access Amelia's spatial mana inside his body.

Lust realizes that and quickly explains it to him. 'The chain!! It is confining your energies.'

He looks at the chain in his hand, and it is brightly shining while Wrath's massive furious energy, generated by his own anger, is now confining his energies just as he did to her.

Lucien continues to smile as Wrath's chains wrap and hold his body; at the same time, he clearly sees her body in the center of the arena. She is also smiling while all those chains are coming from her hands.

"Get over here!" Wrath exclaims and pulls on the chains, bringing Lucien's body toward the center of the arena.

Donna and Lust feel a strong desire to help him, but he keeps talking to them mentally, so they don't get involved in that.

*Whoosh* *BAM* *BOOOM*

Lucien's body hits the ground, also creating a crater. However, Wrath does not remove her chains, and due to him not having access to his demonic energies now, his disguise is broken.

"It's the King!!"

"Yeah, that's him!!"

"And who is that woman with him???"

"She is so scary..."

"Yet so beautiful."

"And she has wings and horns like the King."

People in the arena stands are very curious to understand what is going on between Lucien and Wrath.

Meanwhile, she starts to laugh and looks at him on the ground, held by her chains. "So, what is it like to feel trapped??"

"Oh, it?" He maintains a relaxed expression while his energy fights against her energy within his body. "Don't mind me; I'm just giving you a head start."

"Of course." She laughs and then kicks him right in the belly.

*BAM*

Lucien's body is thrown up while he can't help feeling angrier at Wrath, which continues to strengthen her.

*BAM* *BAM*

Then she pulls the chains again, bringing his body to her so that she can kick him again.

As she continues to kick him that way, Lucien can't help but reflect on her strength. He fought Alexa a short time ago, and it's evident that neither Pride and Eve could do that in the same way, but here he is, getting beaten up by Wrath, who should be a lot weaker than they.

Well, when it comes to the Sins, everything is about their demonic energies. Wrath could not have endured a fight with Alexa for more than a few seconds as she would not have had the chance to generate so much demonic energy. Alexa has not been angry with her for a long time like Lucien, and she would not give her a chance to absorb that anger as he did.

So Lucien really gave Wrath a huge head start, but he is far from losing that fight. In fact, while she is using a lot of demonic energy to confine him, he is using his own to free himself.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

As the people watch Wrath repeatedly slam Lucien's body against the ground, they get confused. Everyone has heard or seen his strength in person, so they don't understand how he seems to be losing that fight.

Donna also watches everything from the top of the arena. She has also been beaten up by Wrath many times, and they know how ruthless she is. Yet, Donna is confident in Lucien's strength and knows that he will start fighting for real at any moment.

And when everyone starts to wonder how he is going to escape those chains, his eyes start to shine golden-purple.

Wrath pulls the chains again, bringing Lucien's body to her. And confident that her massive energy is confining his energy, she throws a nonchalant punch toward his face.

Lucien is extremely resistant to pain, but he cannot accept being punched in the face in front of so many people who believe in him, especially his beloved sister.

So that is the time to break those chains. And for that, he has to use part of all his energies.

"HAA!" He opens his arms with all his strength, and his eyes shine brightly as Wrath's powerful chains shatter in thousands of fragments that disappear into the air.

[Really??] Wrath knew that Lucien would break free at some point, but due to the massive amount of energy she generated with his anger, she was sure she could play with him for a few minutes.

As the chains disappear into the air, Lucien and Wrath's eyes meet. He smiles before disappearing, using the teleport ability.

She doesn't think twice before starting to turn around while materializing a red curved sword with a wide blade and strikes backward, believing that it will appear there.

But he appears in front of her.

And taking her by surprise, he quickly grabs her chin and turns her face to his. "Here."

Wrath feels her energy being confined again as she sees Lucien move his face toward hers. For a second, she has the crazy idea that he is going to try to kiss her.

*BAM!!*

But instead of touching her lips with his, he hits his forehead on hers, very hard, enough to break her skull bones while his golden bones remain perfect.

Wrath is thrown back toward the ground while her blood flies everywhere. She completely loses control of her body, which needs to be remade after that brutal blow.
