Rogue watched, awestruck by Lucifer's transformation. He could feel the power inside of him trying its, best to reach out and grab the tendrils of Lucifer's power. ‘So this is the true extent of a devil Queen, so frightening ’ Rogue thought moving back from Lucifer and the dragon.

Lucifer, folded her hands into fists and she applied pressure to her feet, destroying the cobalt blue stones as she launched herself towards the Dragon's head, she was so fast the dragon did face a chance to react as she grabbed it by the face and slammed it on the cave with her strength destroying the back part of the cave.

Lucifer was counting the minutes she had, from fifteen minutes she only had fourteen left. With a boisterously battle cry, she once more delivered a series of punches to the Dragon's abdomen, each punch releasing a massive shockwave as a byproduct and destroying the terrain.

The cave shook as the dragon was sent outside, into the open where it unfolded its wings and took flight having the room to maneuver. Lucifer seeing this, once more launched herself at the dragon however, this time it caught her with its large claw hurling her to the snow covered floor.

The impact Lucifer's body made with the ground, shook the realm and she felt pain coursed through her body making her spew out saliva mixed with blood from her mouth. Lucifer carried herself up and glared at the dragon.

‘Nature is my ally, water is my compatriot, Mind eye Hieroglyph : Soul chain’ she thought, extending her right hand upwards aiming at the dragon, her purplish metaphysical essence coating the arm, as a whole and from the core of the palm she shot out a ball of purple which broke the sound barrier.

With the attack drawing closer, the dragon too unleashed its own attack, plasma gathered in its mouth and with a thundering roar it released the plasma breath. The two attacks collided and fierce winds picked up scattering everything away, the earth shook.

‘Seven minutes left’, Lucifer thought as she once more closed in, on the dragon, her wings opened. Once in range, she punched the dragon on the torso, pushing it back but she didn't end there.

With her supernatural strength, she extended her right hand and grabbed on the dragon's leg, twisting around and she let go sending the great serpentine spiraling to the ground. But what she didn't calculate was the place it was gonna fall, which was atop of the cave where Rogue was hiding.

“ROGUE GET AWAY!!!!” Lucifer yelled at the top of her lungs, her eyes wide as she couldn't believe she made such a careless mistake and put Rogue in harm's way 

Rogue's eyes widened as he saw the colossal body of the dragon, descend upon him like a meteorite. It was fast and with him being propelled by fear to stillness, he couldn't move. ‘This is how it ends?’He thought, the loud voice of Lucifer screaming out to him fading away.

The dragon smashed on the ground with a loud boom, creating a crater that is deeper than a human, but it wasn't out yet.

Rogue opened his eyes, expected to be greeted by the angels welcoming him to the afterlife but that didn't happen. Instead a suffocating painful feeling tore through his body, his teeth grinned and he tried his best to not scream.

“I-I am g-glad you are safe” Lucifer mumbled, and she collapsed next to Rogue. Rogue turned looked at her and witnessed the large gash on her back and the insanely amount of blood pooling around them turning the snow from white to red.

“Lucifer, Lucifer, LUCIFER!!!” Rogue wailed to the heavens, tears streaming down his face as he hugged her body, he thought Lucifer was dead, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. 

“ Pathetic, to think I trusted you to protect our mate and yet she got hurt due to your carelessness” The abyssal voice made itself known although speaking alone, as it's menacing hands reached out once more lending Rogue its power.

Rogue's heart beat returned to optimal functioning, but the sigil from before was present on his chest, hues of crimson began circulating around him and the wind picked up as well, placing Lucifer down. Rogue glared at the dragon.

The dragon glared back at Rogue initiating a staring contest between the two. Overwhelmed by grief Rogue pointed at the dragon's head and the same purplish beam was shot from his finger towards the dragon, the dragon took flight making the beam miss.

A snarl manifested on Rogue's face, as he never expected the dragon to dodge the attack. “So infuriating, Come down now” Rogue articulated in a sinister tone reaching out to the dragon with his right hand.

Gravity exacerbated around the dragon, bringing it crashing down on the snow floor creating another crater. The possessed Rogue wasn't done as he moved his hand up, then to the left and brought it down.

The dragon still under the effects of gravity was levitated and it followed Rogue's hand motion, it's colossal body moved effortlessly to the side, where gigantic icicles protruded from the ground, it descended and was impaled however it didn't die yet.

Rogue tilted his head looking at the dragon, the dragon seeing that he was looking at it. Shot out a plasma blast from its mouth as it was incapacitated by the icicles, Rogue's left hand was moved up and it absorbed the plasma blast in mere seconds. “ Right here's what you gave me” Rogue said releasing the blast again this time with three times the strength.

A huge explosion occurred as the blast, met the dragon. The energy in the blast rising sky high before vanishing leaving a crater the size of half an asteroid on the snow floor, the snow around the battlefield was vaporized leaving only hard ground.

The dragon laid there lifeless, it's scales shattered into bits and pieces by the attack itself. “ You finally died you low life scum” Rogue uttered walking forward only to collapse face first on the snow exhausted, The power hues vanishing away.

Ashlee and is contingent finally, made their way through the shrine and into the realm where Rogue and Lucifer were, upon arrival they were greeted by a beam of energy travelling skyward then followed a shockwave.

Ashlee smirked and reverted back to his human form. “It seems like we have found our catch boys, let's move” he addressed the contingent, his tone having a cocky feel to it, he then sniffed the air and the contingent moved swiftly with him spearheading their charge.

It didn't take them long to arrive at the battlesight and, they were once again welcomed by sight of a a crater that was ninety meters deep and within it was a dragon. Ashlee whistled and ordered his men to grab Rogue while he went for Lucifer.

“Such a shame a beauty like you can't be my Luna, but no matter I can always force the council to agree” Ashlee said to an unconscious Lucifer licking her cheek with his long tongue, his left hand grabbed her hair and he pulled her to her feet, placing his right hand on her chin making her look up at him even though she was out cold.

“ Now then Rogue was it, I think it's time you gave me that power but firstly, I'll play around with you. Hold him straight men” Ashlee commanded, his men fearing him nodded and held Rogue up straight with both of his hands outstretched to the side and firmly grasped.

Ashlee walked towards Rogue, dragging Lucifer behind him and squatted down before the reincarnation of Escliffe. “ You've been a bad BOY!!!” Ashlee added the emphasis on boy slugging Rogue in the face with a strong right, a cracking sound reverberated around the location as an aftermath of the hit itself.

    Ashlee’s assaults were relentless. Blood oozed like a waterfall from Rogue’s face as the unconscious boy was trashed around like a ragdoll. “ Make this more interesting for me” Ashlee said, his voice holding traces of malevolence.He turned around and looked at Lucifer with an evil look savouring how her body looked. A chuckle escaped Ashlee’s lips as he turned on his heel smashing the other heel on Rogue’s face sending him tumbling over the crater.“Now that, the pest has been taken care off..” Ashlee to a short pause and grabbed Lucifer by her face, using his superior might to lift her to his eye level.“If I were you, I’d unhand that woman” A voice said causing Ashlee and his crew to look around trying to find the owner of the voice.Ho

Lucifer looked up at Rogue trying to get approval to trust Anemo.Rogue nodded and kneeled down before Anemo with a small smile on his face . “So Anemo, can you show us where they are? The full moon is upon us and we can’t miss them.” He inquired to Anemo, who nonchalantly played around.Anemo, glared up at Rogue and smiled. “Sure I can show you” He said, jumping from Lucifer’s lap and exiting the cavern like room calling Lucifer

    The staffs collided while both Rogue and Vinshi parried one another backwards, a smile married Vinshi’s face as he decided to go on the offense from the beginning. With a momentary boost of speed, that his kind were known for, Vinshi closed the gap between him and Rogue. “Block this!” He said swinging his staff downward, hoping to smash Rogue to the ground and end the match. Rogue reacted in the nick of time as he stepped back getting out of the range of the staff, the outcome of the staff’s impact shocked Rogue as it tore through the terrain like nothing. “Extend Vinshu!” Vinshi yelled not letting the resonance of his earlier attack go to waste, the staff extended a good sixteen meters and impaled Rogue on the stomach with tremendous force hurling him into the sky. Vinshu followed up with a combo as he used his tail to flick himself above Rogue and twisted the Staff, smashing it into R

Even though he had one percent of his past lives that didn’t affect his personality.Lucifer sighed a heavy sigh for the umpteenth time that day. “How many times to I have to tell you Hun? This is going to work, have faith” She uttered opening the frog and spilling the juice in the vial placed atop of the rune.She said a few incantations to complete the procedure and grabbed the final product placing it in front of Rogue. “We have to give this to her immediately.” Lucifer said, wiping away the sweat that formed on her forehead.They nodded and exited the house leaving Anemo inside, they were heading

The legendary staff welded by our ancestor Sun Wukong.”He said, still puzzled as to why did Rogue’s staff become similar to the staff of Sun Wukong himself.Its quite unclear, but it’s without a doubt that boy, has a form of connection with Sun Wukong if not counting his reincarnation.

    It’s been two long years since I last saw Lucifer, Anemo and mother. In that two years, I’ve grown exponentially. I’m at a point I could fight toe to toe with a lesser Devil and win.The gates leading into the domain of the Axioms of Subhūti parted open and from within exited Vinshi and Rogue. Both of them having grown a bit compared to when they entered the domain.“How I’ve longed to see the outside” Rogue said poking Vinshi’s shoulder with his elbow.Vinshi responded with a smirk and shook his head at Rogue’s childish behaviour; four years together was rather entertaining and it helped their bond grow along with.“So you are going to see your family soon?”“Yeah, I figured I’d pay them a visit.

    Rogue sat down on the couch clutching his ear. It was painful as Lucifer had pulled him by the ear to reprimand him for carelessly fighting the two priests outside of their house, nonetheless. “But I said I’m sorry… will you-” “SHUT IT!! How can you be so careless? What if mother got caught in the crossfire? Did you think about that before battling the two of them.” Lucifer shot a sharp glare at Rogue her hands placed on her waist as she continued to berate him for his carelessness. Rogue could feel that Lucifer was angry through their bond. He looked down at his hands which were on his lap and bowed a bit further. He had no words to make up for his carelessness. “Cifer, it’s alright now. What matters is that no one got hurt” Seraphine intervened and voiced her side on the matter. She didn’t want to see the two who were obviously friendly with one another have an argume

    Light showed itself at the end of the tunnel, Rogue spent time looking for the exit but at long last he had managed to leave his subconscious. When he opened his eyes, they were resilient, beaming with power and it was then he finally understood why he needed to subdue those two. As the bearer of bad news, Ein's willow hovered close to him and gave him a message that infuriated Rogue to the brim. “Your daughter is gone and your wife has been placed in a suspended Animation.” Rogue’s eyes dangerously narrowed and his borrows furrowed, veins emerged on his hands and Metaphysical Essence erupted from the pores on his body. “Who took her?” His question was subtle and had a dangerous lingering tone at the end of it. “Chronos emissaries, conquest and Death.” Without further notice, Rogue flashed out of existence. He teleported from the sanctuary and appeared in his residence premises in Tokyo. When he appeared, many people were already at the scene includin

    Rogue stirred awake. His head was whirling around, he got up from the bed and held his head. “What happened?” his memory was foggy, he could remember glimpses of what had happened but it wasn't that concise.“You got your ass kicked.” Vinshi replied from the door folding his arms. He strode to Rogue's bed side and sat on the chair that was in front of Rogue.“As much as I hate to admit it, your father was right. You aren't strong to a point of being able to fight Chronos much less his emissaries, you lack power Rogue and if I were you, I'd take his suggestion.” Vinshi enunciated, his words hitting Rogue like a pile of bricks.Rogue knew he was weak even with his versatile repertoire of abilities. He leaned his head back and sighed deeply, then looked at Vinshi again. “Do you think I can defeat them?”Vinshi sighed as well, to be frank he didn't think Rogue at this stage could defeat any of the emissari

    The whole house immediately quieted down. As if the sovereigns were not enough now another legion could possibly be knocking on their doorstep, Rogue nodded and folded his hands leaning back into the chair he was sitting on. “So father, how strong is Chronos according to you? Could I beat him at my current level?” He asked, eyes meeting Ein head-on, Rogue wanted to know how far he could take Chronos before defeating him.Ein listened tentatively and as soon as Rogue concluded his statement, he shook his head. “You are quite weak even now. Don't get me wrong if you had gathered all the ten keys it might have been a different story but you only got eight or nine if I'm not wrong.”“Then what do I need to do to get stronger? I need the power to protect everything dear to me.” Rogue replied, his face unyielding no emotions. He was prepared to go to hell and back for his family and he would drag everything threatening his fami

    Footsteps heavy as a sledgehammer trudged across the countryside of Hiraizumi, the winds were fierce and they tossed every granule of sand asunder. “Seraphine,” vocals belonging to a man reverberated in the atmosphere, blending in nicely with the ambiance. His silhouette emerged from the obstructing cliff and he took a stand on top of the hill. Dark bristle swayed with the call of mother nature, mystified oculars took in the scenery of the town and a chuckle soon followed after. He was back where he started, after more than ten long years. Seraphine hummed a tune to herself unaware of what was about to occur, she paused as she grabbed the plate and looked at the ceiling above, “I miss my son.” she whispered to the air and her eyes dropped a bit, expressing the sadness that was digging a tunnel inside her heart. Day in and day out her son was fighting against the forces that were out to end his life. Unbeknownst to her, a tear slipped down the right side of her face, she went

    Rogue grinned as he heard that roar, he raised his hand and a key manifested on it before it was absorbed into his entity relishing in the grace of the power it unlocked and returned to him. The satisfaction of being partially whole again made him antsy, and he couldn't wait to use his power, starting with the abominations forged by Azathoth. His middle finger and thumb touched and with a snap, Rogue utilized an advanced reality warping ability along with Omni nullification and he immediately wiped all the forces from existence leaving only him and Azathoth facing one another.Azathoth seeing how Rogue easily dismantled Nave and his creations, knew that he was not a foe to be truffled with and taken lightly. According to his observation Rogue was on par with the Ymir and THE HEADLESS HORSEMEN, that Chronos kept by his side. Giving half into this fight would only endanger him, as such he had a choice and he chose to go all out, destroy everything in his path just to dest

    Rogue's morphed eyes did not falter as he stared at the pooling abominations, it seemed as if Azathoth wanted to make a grand entrance, Rogue did nothing to stop that. After all, a father must honor his child's stupidity. He pocketed his hands, sighed and looked back at a bruised and battered Nave with a sophisticated grin. The chess pieces were already at play, and he was a single move away from checkmate. As such he wanted to savour the victory, even if it meant he should allow the idiocity to continue.Nave seeing the composed look on Rogue regardless of how many he faced at the moment, started to feel a sense of unease and become angry... What gave him the right to act all smug before them, he and Azathoth were most notorious deities ever to exist and this beat was looking down on them. “You dare look down upon us as if you have attained victory?”Rogue nodded, showing Nave that he was positive that he had victory in his grasp. “Yes, I do.
