Vampire Progenitor System-Chapter 104 - 2v1 1

The last sliver of sunlight vanished behind the shattered mountains, casting a shadow over the ruined highlands.

Lucifer stood at the cliff’s edge, hands in his coat pockets, crimson eyes glowing faintly beneath the falling dark. The sky, once scorched with war, now quieted—just long enough to breathe.

Behind him, the wind whispered like it feared waking something older than time.

Across from him, Daniel stared into the darkening sky.

"I see they’ve successfully averted the problem," he said flatly. "But let’s not focus on that."

He turned to Lucifer, slowly, like one beast acknowledging another.

"We’ve still got a fight to finish."

Lucifer didn’t answer. Not at first.

Instead, he looked up.

Watched the night roll in like smoke across the sky.

And then, like a switch being flipped—his aura shifted.

The air shimmered around him, heavy with pressure. His veins lit faint red under his skin. A ripple of dark energy rolled off his back like a second wind taking root in his soul.

’Nighttime Regeneration’ — Eternal Core Passive: Active.

His smile came slow. Confident. Cold.

"Finally," he muttered. "The night listens."

Daniel arched a brow. "Stalling?"

Lucifer stepped forward once. Calm. Measured.

"I’d ask you the same thing," he said. "Still waiting for your lackey, aren’t you?"

Daniel’s silence confirmed it.

Lucifer chuckled, rolling his shoulders. As he moved, the wind twisted around him unnaturally. No weapon. No stance. Just a man whose presence made gravity behave differently.

"So this is what stalling looks like between gods," he said.

Daniel smirked faintly. "You sure talk a lot for someone who’s supposed to be inevitable."

"And you talk like you’ve already won." Lucifer’s voice lowered. "You haven’t."

For a moment, it was quiet. Like the universe had paused.

Then—

A scream.

Both men turned to the sky.

A figure crashed through the clouds—fast, jagged, bleeding energy. It plummeted like a broken angel, trailing blood and pain behind it.

BOOM!

The mountain cracked.

Teemah hit the ground hard, rolling to a stop between them. Her breathing was shallow, her limbs broken in angles they weren’t meant to bend. Her eyes fluttered open, blood dripping from her mouth.

Lucifer blinked once. "That... was fast."

A massive gust swept over the cliff.

Wings.

Black. Wide. Absolute.

Ruka descended.

Floating slow, like gravity didn’t apply. His body wrapped in smoke and battle-scorched leather. His black hair whipped in the wind. Beside him, Temmy floated—unbothered, her aura sharp as blades.

Ruka’s eyes—pure void—locked onto Daniel.

"You must be Daniel."

Daniel stared at him with a calm face and a hunter’s stillness.

"And you must be the reason she failed."

Ruka gave a small nod. His wings flared once behind him, shaking the air.

"You can call it balance."

Lucifer tilted his head, smiling wider now. "Took your time."

Ruka hovered a few meters off the ground, his energy circling him like a slow hurricane. "Had to send a message."

Daniel finally moved—his foot sliding back half an inch, his aura spiking. No words this time. Just readiness.

Lucifer cracked his neck.

"So."

Understood! Let’s dive in.

The moment cracked open like thunder.

Daniel launched first.

No hesitation. No signal. Just movement—sharp and precise, his body igniting in a cascade of red demonic light. The runes along his arms flared like molten scripture, each step a crater in the ground as he blurred forward.

Lucifer vanished a split second before contact.

The place he stood exploded as Daniel’s fist hit the air.

A shockwave tore through the ruined city, collapsing already shattered buildings, glass vaporizing in the heat.

Lucifer reappeared to Daniel’s left, hands still in his coat pockets, his aura crackling red-black. He shifted his weight—and everything around him bent inward, like gravity chose him now.

Daniel twisted, a blade of condensed lust-energy manifesting in his hand, edge gleaming like glass soaked in desire.

CLASH.

Lucifer blocked it with one hand.

Bare.

The impact sent both of them flying backward. Lucifer flipped mid-air and landed on a broken clocktower, boots scraping stone.

Daniel skidded to a stop, the street beneath him warping from the demonic heat pouring off him.

Then fire exploded behind Daniel.

He turned—

Ruka was already there.

His Spirit Blade carved through the space beside Daniel’s ribs—so close it left a burn across his side. Ruka twisted his wrist and followed up with a flame-punch to the chest, his knuckles lighting with molten spirit fire.

Daniel caught it with his palm.

Their magic clashed, fire and corruption twisting in the air like warring beasts.

Daniel growled, gripping Ruka’s wrist.

"Half-blood."

Ruka smirked, eyes glowing. "Full problem."

He unleashed a burst of spirit energy from his hand—forcing Daniel back ten meters, crashing through an abandoned high-rise. The building toppled with a groan, flames licking up its side.

Ruka floated, blade resting over one shoulder. His wings stretched wide.

Lucifer dropped next to him.

They didn’t speak. They didn’t have to.

Daniel burst from the rubble, blood trickling from his lip.

His smile was unhinged.

"Alright. Let’s go."

And it started.

All three clashed at once, the battlefield lit with magic that peeled buildings apart.

Lucifer struck like a phantom—he moved without motion, flashing from shadow to shadow, a blur of afterimages. His fists shattered steel, his kicks left sonic rings in the air.

Daniel countered with sheer force—lust magic bending light around him, twisting gravity. Every strike from him shattered windows three blocks away. His aura devoured lesser energy, eating up spells like they were smoke.

Ruka danced between them—his Spirit Blade glowing like a sun dipped in silver, carving arcane glyphs into the air mid-swing. He hurled firestorms between combos, his left hand constantly casting, shaping. He was fire and steel, spirit and wrath.

Lucifer leapt into the air, twisted mid-flight, and slammed both feet into Daniel’s back. The demon crashed into a skyscraper.

Ruka was already above, hurling a spirit lance made of compressed soulflame.

BOOM!

The building erupted in blue fire, bricks flung like meteors.

But Daniel rose from the wreckage, charred but laughing.

"This is more like it."

He spread his arms.

Wings of red sin unfurled from his back, lined with runes that pulsed like veins. He flew upward like a cannon shot—faster than sound—and smashed into Ruka midair.

They tumbled into a building, walls exploding outward.

Lucifer surged up from below, arm cocked back. He caught Daniel in the gut, sending him spiraling into the clouds.

Lucifer followed him—teleporting ahead of the fall.

He didn’t swing.

He held up his hand—palm glowing crimson.

A sphere of condensed vampire magic surged in his grip.

Then he crushed it.

The explosion that followed shattered the sky.

The blast was so dense it pulled air inward—imploding the atmosphere before detonating outward in a ring of red force.

Daniel came out of the blast covered in burns, but grinning. novelbuddy.cσ๓

"You’re close. I’ll give you that."

He flung his arm sideways—summoning dozens of chains of desire magic. They surged toward Lucifer like vipers.

Lucifer dashed forward—his body becoming intangible for a moment—letting the chains pass through.

He reappeared right in front of Daniel.

Uppercut.

Daniel flew.

Ruka was above.

He dove down.

His blade ignited with black fire—spirit overkill.

He brought it down on Daniel’s chest mid-flight—slashing across armor, across skin, deep enough to tear magic itself.

Daniel screamed, more in fury than pain, and spun—grabbing Ruka mid-air and hurling him into a collapsed stadium.

Ruka hit, bounced, landed on one knee.

Lucifer landed beside him again.

"You good?"

Ruka wiped blood off his chin. "I’ve had worse hangovers."

They looked up—Daniel hovered now, breathing harder, body flickering between perfect and broken.

"So this is the best Lucifer has." Daniel spread his arms. "Two against one and still nothing?"

Lucifer stepped forward.

"No," he said simply. "This is just us warming up."

They charged again.

This time Lucifer attacked from above, Ruka from below.

Daniel caught both.

Held them by the arms.

"Do you know what sin feels like?" he whispered.

His body burst with demonic magic—lust energy flooding outward, painting the air in glowing red sigils. The city below warped, glass melted. Time stuttered.

Ruka twisted free, sliced his own wrist, and wrote a sigil in midair.

"Spirit Shift."

He vanished and reappeared behind Daniel, slashing him across the spine.

Lucifer used the opening to press forward—one palm across Daniel’s chest.

He grinned.

"Boom."

A vampire sigil detonated from his hand, point-blank.

Daniel flew downward, crashing into the bones of the city.

For a long second, no one moved.

Smoke rose.

The city howled.

Temmy floated above it all, silent.

Watching.

Then from the crater—Daniel stood.

Body torn. Laughing.

"Fun."

Lucifer cracked his knuckles.

Ruka flipped his blade and spun it once in hand.

They stepped forward again.

No fear.

No words.

Just war.
