Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 13: Sataniciela, part 1
The previously empty vertical pupils' gray eyes slowly flashed, and then blinked a few times.
The void that had been emanated was clearly no longer imprinted. The difference is contrasting. Various emotions alternated on the beautiful face, before then anger replaced everything perfectly. However, like other emotions, anger does not last long. Sataniciela sighed softly, and her face instantly calmed down.
“...Keeping aside any contemptible creatures who have called me, the offerings given are so incredible.” Sataniciela looked at her hands with admiration. “I've never felt stronger than this. Not only was the amount of mana abundant, the amount of magic was also. With this.Lucifer though will no longer be able to show that haughty look before me. Whoever you are that has called me, I must admit I thank you.”
Laughter instantly filled the silence of Ed's Forbidden Valley, and it lasted for several minutes.
As her laughter subsided, Sataniciela took a deep breath, then straightened her hands forward with her palms open.
Sataniciela intends to open the gates of hell to return there. Lucifer's throne was in that place; he would not have been able to finish off Lucifer and force the other demons to submit to him if he did not return. However, his intention stopped immediately when he felt the presence of someone who emits angels, humans, and demons at the same time—although the demon side was suppressed so deeply that it could not be felt by demons other than Sataniciela.
“Your name? Your destination is here?”
The eyelids of Sataniciela could not widen any more. The sound came from right behind him. And this time, he could not feel the air of human existence. All he felt was pure that demons and angels were in perfect equilibrium. However, that was not the reason for the widening of Sataniela's eyelids. His eyes widened because the energy he felt from this creature behind him was so great that Lucifer's power looked like a lowly demon.
“...Luciel has instilled his soul in Xavier von Hernandez who is currently straight in the southwest.” The creature behind him said without waiting for Sataniciela's reply. “If you still hold a grudge against him, you can kill him. I give you permission to unleash your power on this land.”
With that, the owner of that monstrous energy instantly disappeared from behind him just like that.
Sataniciela reflexes looked back, and there was no one there. He then carried his body flying several tens of meters into the air, his eyes looking all over. However, the existence of the figure he could not find anywhere. Even as he brought his perception of sensory magic to the maximum level, Sataniciela did not find the creature.
Questions related to the creature suddenly filled Sataniciela's head, but she quickly ignored them. The demon's gaze stopped in the southwest direction, looking straight at it.
“Luciel...” Sataniciela's lips smirked after saying that name.
If it were not for Luciel's sudden presence on Islan more than three thousand years ago, he and the demons would have occupied Islan. However, the damn angel had foiled his plan. He was lucky that Lucifer defected to the heavens and sided with the devil. Otherwise, he might have died at the hands of that despicable angel.
“I guess he really disappeared after Lucifer finished him off. Heh, who would have thought that he was still trying to fend for life. But, it's good for me. Now I have a chance to restore the humiliation of that time.”
With that, Sataniciela instantly shot straight to the southwest - her mind was filled with only one thing: to finish Luciel off for good.

“Heh.” Vermyna let a consoled cry out of her mouth. “That's an appreciative intent from you, Fie. However, looking at myself as if I was unable to handle myself Sataniciela herself.
Vermyna sighed softly. Although he said that, he had to admit that Satanicela was now on a different level. It was because of Neix. Vermyna did not in the slightest think Neix could reach a level of strength that far surpassed Crow's full strength. With Sataniciela having that power is above her own…. It would take a lot of time if he wanted to regain control of his body.
Therefore, Fie made Sataniciela to fight with Xavier. Although Sataniciela had grown significantly stronger due to Neix, she would not be able to simply dominate the fight. If Xavier used the power of [Reverse Law] (which he used to use first to try to stop him) on the Satanicieal from the start, Xavier had a chance of winning. However, if Xavier decides to find out the advantages and disadvantages of Sataniciela first, Xavier will lose.
Either way, the point is one: fighting with Xavier will drain Sataniciela's power, and it will refine her efforts in taking that body. Moreover, if Xavier loses, he has indirectly become the lifesaver of Xavier.
I don't know if Fie planned that either, but it doesn't matter. Vermyna shook her head slowly, her attention fixed on Crow who had just entered her halfway room.
“Miss Vermyna, I'm happy to finally be back here again. Valeria says there's a human that Miss turned into a vampire among the members of Moon Temple.”
...—Etharna, Favilifna Kingdom—...
Xavier who had been sitting quietly on the balcony of the tallest palace tower suddenly felt his instincts screech sharply.
His eyes spontaneously glanced towards the northeast. However, Xavier had no chance to question what had happened. Such a powerful air shock had suddenly struck his body and the entire top of the tower.
The shock of the air was so compressed and moved at a deceptive speed, in the blink of an eye his body had already pierced through the city wall and kept darting until it hit a hill. The devastation caused by the air shock was quite large, and the hill on which his body hit until it created an arch tens of meters deep.
Contrary to the thought of anyone who saw it (if anything), Xavier was not at all upset. Instead, as soon as he spewed out the saliva mixed with blood, his lips curved violently. Whoever had attacked him, Xavier knew he was strong. Indeed, Xavier had not tried to use [Reverse Law] or [Teleportation Magic]. However, still the blow that created such a calibre of wind shock was impressive.
In terms of physical ability, Xavier could tell this person was stronger than Vermyna Hellvarossa without having to exchange fists with him.
Xavier pulled himself out from where his body landed, then jumped up high and let both his legs rest firmly.
Just a second after Xavier landed on the ground, a loud thumping sound rang out dozens of meters before him. A cloud of dust closed Xavier's sight, but it was instantly dissipated by the wind the enemy was causing. Then Xavier found out who had given the surprise of the wind to destroy the palace tower and city walls.
“Luciel, bangsatt, today I assure you will be destroyed forever; I never forget the humiliation you did back then.”
