''D-Don't come any clos-ser!!" Elaine shouted before mustering all her strength and escaping as far she could, to hell avenging her sister by killing Lilith, to hell the mission, all that matters right now was to survive. However, she had forgotten two things; first, Lilith couldn't let her go, and secondly, her life wasn't her own any longer, so the seed planted inside her body by her master was about to activate.
Swoosh!
''Where do you think you are going?" Like a ghost, Lilith's voice echoed in Elaine's ears, followed by a strong impact.
Bam!
A huge crater appeared on the ground, and Elaine's body lay inside it; twitching, lightning, and dark mist covered her body; numerous cracks ran across Elaine's sturdy carapace-like armor.
''Cough! Cough!"
Elaine kept coughing blood nonstop until suddenly her body stopped moving before it suddenly rose from the ground, her eyes turned purple, and something astonishing happened.
''Little sister, as expected, you have come.''
From Elaine's mouth, a male voice echoed, and the moment Lilith heard this voice, her face turned ghastly white, and her body started trembling; from her body, a terrible amount of killing intent was released, it was so thick that it manifested outside blowing everything fifteen meters behind her.
''Luciferrrrr!" Lilith roared, and lighting and dark mist congealed together to strike Elaine possessed by Lucifer.
Everything within the path of this dark scythe was obliterated; however, strangely, Elaine (Lucifer) caught the black scythe with one hand before breaking it as if it was a fragile piece of glass.
''Sister you-"
Lucifer abruptly stopped speaking because Lilith did something he was not expecting.
''Silent World.''
Lilith declared immediately the whole area turned monochrome, no the world around the two turned monochrome, as though one was looking at a monochrome television from the Middle Ages, the only color was black and white; however, it wasn't what forced Lucifer to stop talking, it was because he knew about this skill, the first Fallen Angel, is to say their ancestor possessed this skill, Lucifer became jealous, however, before he could do anything Lilith moved.
''Into Nothingness !" She declared as she swung her scythe, not even Lucifer was able to see the trajectory of the blade; it might have been because of the host body, maybe it was because Elaine's body couldn't handle all Lucifer power, but one thing was sure, this was a deadly ability, Lucifer wished to acquire it.
It was only a single scythe strike; however, Elaine's body was cut into thousands of pieces, and fragments of Elaine's body drifted in the air before disappearing into nothingness like melted snowflakes.
However, the snowflakes were purely black. It was extremely beautiful yet deadly at the same time.
''Lucifer, I'm coming.''
Those were Lilith's last words before falling unconscious; her body hit the ground, blood ruptured from her body, dying her dress red however soon it vanished, her regenerative ability kicked in.
•••••
At the same time, Demon's continent empire, in the throne hall, Lucifer threw away the glass in his hands, it shattered into thousand pieces upon reaching the ground, red wine dying the beautiful carpet red; however, Lucifer ignored it, he was alone in the throne hall.
''Why? Why? Why I'm not the one to awaken that ability? I'm the ruler; it should be me that had that ability. I must have it, Lilith; you're not worthy of this ability.''
Lucifer didn't hide his jealously; space twisted around him to his emotions getting out of control, just a little bit, and the throne hall would be gone. It's how powerful Demigod existences are.
[Calm down; everything will be yours soon anyway. Just make sure to acquire that thing in that dungeon and follow Thanos's instructions. Understood?]
A sudden voice echoed inside Lucifer's head, calming him down.
''I understand, Supreme Lord.''
[As for your sister and her friends sent some men. I shall ask Thanos to provide some assistance focus on your mission.] The mysterious voice instructed, and Lucifer smiled and promised to succeed at all cost; if it weren't because of the unusual dungeon, his men would have already acquired that stone; however, soon he will succeed, until then, nothing was allowed to disturb his plans.

Two hours later, Lilith woke up feeling refreshed, normally she should be lying on the ground, but she was sleeping inside a tent; it must have been Alex's and Sakuya doing, even without checking, she could feel two presence outside.
After putting on something comfortable, Lilith went outside; the first thing to greet her was Alex and Sakuya sitting around a campfire.
Normally, in a dangerous forest such as the Dark Forest, a campfire would draw too much attention. Still, because of Alex and Sakuya overwhelming presence, no monster dared to come closer, especially not after seeing what Sakuya did; her slaughter party frightened many monsters they labeled her as extremely dangerous monster not to be messed with.
Lilith joined the two, Alex gave her a self-made sandwich, and when she tasted it, she could say that it wasn't bad, but there was still room for improvement.
''I fought my brother; he possessed the woman I was fighting."
Lilith said after a moment of silence.
''I see, it's good to speculate that men under your brother have a curse placed on them for either silence them or possesses them as he did. Ah! It's becoming tricky. I thought we'd sneak in unnoticed and accomplish our goal, at least not until it was too late; however, they were waiting for us.'' Alex complained as he massaged his temple.
''Well, it doesn't change anything; we need to change our disguise and quickly live this forest. Also, we should act separately for a moment because they might try to intercept any group of two women and one man, disguise or not they know we are three.'' Sakuya suggested although they would be in a foreign land, thank a unique method, they would be able to keep in touch until they reunite again.
''I suggest we follow Sakuya's suggestion,'' Lilith said.
''I see, it's a good plan. Lilith follows me. I want to talk to you.'' Alex said and left; Lilith followed after him after glancing at Sakuya; the latter smiled and waved at her to say to go.
Alex and Lilith talked, and the next day, the group quickly left; they were getting closer to the Demon's continent at the same time a group was dispatched by the Chaos's Eye, their destination the demon's continent.
