’That amount of force would have knocked him back before! He’s getting physically stronger too.’

Realizing that the old flugel was visibly becoming stronger and faster, Lucifer decided to stop messing around and end him quickly.

He rose his two hands and slammed Roseborn downwards, however, the old flugel landed on his feet and cracked his neck before moving so fast it felt like he had disappeared to Lucifer.

’Tsk...!’

Feeling danger from his right side, Lucifer turned around and was able to catch the sight of the incoming fist from his peripheral vision right before it slammed into his head and sent him flying.

Roseborn followed up with another punch but Lucifer’s eyes shot open as he turned to grab the old Flugel’s fist.

’Hmm?’

Lucifer’s grip was far stronger and tighter than he expected, resulting in Roseborn being unable to pull his fist back.

He punched Lucifer’s hand with his other fist but the devil king caught that one too. The two glared at each other as Roseborn struggled to let his hands go free while Lucifer gripped him even tighter.

Suddenly, Lucifer’s body began glowing with the golden essence of the law of fate as he pulled Roseborn closer before shouting.

|You’re a real pest!!|

He then head-butted the old flugel and released his right hand before punching him into a random mountain.

**BOOOMM BOOOMMMMMMM!! BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

The old flugel smashed through not one or two, but three mountains before he could finally reorient himself and use his hands to grab the ground in an attempt to halt his motion.

He then sensed a huge amount of energy building up from above and looked up to see Lucifer staring down at him from the top of a mountain.

His superior eyesight allowed him to notice the golden circles around Lucifer’s pupils, along with Lucifer’s next actions.

The devil king stretched out his palm in Roseborn’s direction and called out with his true voice.

|Authority of Fate : Cast Disruption|

|Authority of Fate : Fate Harvester|

Multiple circular pulses of the golden energy of fate were fired from his open palm at the speed of light, hitting Roseborn’s body in seconds.

"Guh?!"

Roseborn didn’t have any intel on Lucifer’s ability to use the law of fate’s power, as such he was stunned when he saw the devil king use two high-level abilities of the law of fate.

A light purple haze of law energy manifested around his body before being hit by another golden pulse of fate essence and dissipating.

Roseborn dropped to his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood before glaring at Lucifer.

|I was trying to do this subtly, but it seems you realized it anyway. If so, I guess there’s no point in hiding it anymore.|

He got to his feet and shrugged his shoulders as he walked toward Lucifer. With each step, the ground under his feet trembled and the energy concentration around his body increased exponentially.

Lucifer naturally noticed this and couldn’t help but frown in irritation. He had thought Roseborn was a bit too weak for a sub-cosmic monarch realm existence.

Now, he actually hoped he hadn’t tried to stop what Roseborn was doing.

’This is going to be a lot more troublesome than I thought. I might actually have to use ’Lostvayne’.’

Right after Lucifer thought that, he heard the voice of the old flugel supreme ruler that resounded across the planet they were on.

|Authority of Reincarnation : Vessel Selection|

|Main Vessel : Roseborn Vladi XIII|

The light purple energy of reincarnation poured out of his body as his light blue hair flared up lightly in the wind. His blue eyes flashed with purple for a second as he raised his head and met Lucifer’s gaze.

Lucifer understood it instinctively, if what he was fighting before was 15% of the complete existence known as ’Roseborn Vladi’, then what he was facing now was about 70%.

’Maybe even higher, 80, or possibly 90%.’

Two pairs of glistening white wings sprouted out of Roseborn’s back as he kicked off the ground, instantly surpassing the speed of light as he blitzed towards Lucifer.

The devil king’s dynamic vision allowed him to see the old flugel as if he were in slow motion, and he tilted his head to the side and dodged the punch that came from behind before sending an uppercut to Roseborn’s jaw.

Before Roseborn could reorient himself, Lucifer appeared behind him and sent a kick to the former’s chest.

**BOOOMM!!

Roseborn crashed on the ground, resulting in a crater that was kilometres wide in diameter being created.

Without hesitation, Lucifer appeared in front of him and sent another kick to his torso, sending him flying into the air once more.

Lucifer condensed a bit of destructive energy in his hand and threw the orb at Roseborn who coated his hand in cosmic energy to block it.

****KABOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

A large mushroom cloud shot up into the sky as the orb of destructive energy collided with Roseborn’s hand and exploded.

The icy ground crumbled underneath his feet, and earthquakes could be felt from all parts of the continent as the tectonic plates that held up the ice continent trembled.

Forming another similar orb in his hand, Lucifer flew towards Roseborn, who was in the centre of the explosion and slammed it into his face, resulting in another explosion that caused small geysers of magma to shoot up from the ground.

|Authority of Fortification : Offensive Bulwark.|

Not caring about that, he sent another punch to Roseborn’s face, one he charged up with the power of a law.

A golden gauntlet adorned with various spikes appeared around his clenched fist that collided with Roseborn’s face, however, the devil king couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise as he saw Roseborn’s reaction to his attack.

Despite seeing it coming, Roseborn let the punch hit him square in the face. Surprisingly, he didn’t crash back into the ground or get sent flying like before.

Lucifer’s normal punches were enough to send him flying before, but now, a punch filled with a law’s power barely made him flinch.

"Hmph."
