World End: The Successor's Contract

Uta ran towards where the sparks were flashing in the sky, once she was close enough she could clearly see Zeno and Lucifer battling it out.

"There he is." She uttered, sliding on the ground to make a quick turning before continuing her advance.

"Zeno!... Stop the battle!" Uta yelled, running as fast as she could on the field with Shuna chasing behind her.

Lucifer landed on the ground and immediately flew back up, spearing Zeno to the sky and charging him past the clouds.

He didn't stop, he kept increasing his speed as they charged straight into space with magic covering their whole body.

Zeno pushed Lucifer away and aimed his right hand at the sun which immediately sent direct fire from the sun to his hand before he redirected it to his left hand which was aimed 5at Lucifer.

"Shit!" Lucifer shouted, as he blocked the fire with his arms but it was still pushing him down.

While he was pushing the sun flames back, Zeno emerged in the middle of the flames and landed Lucifer a punch to the face.

Lucifer's body sped down before it went falling back into the earth. He tried to make another move but Zeno showed up in front of him and punched him again but Lucifer didn't let go.

He grabbed Zeno's arm and wrapped his legs around Zeno's neck, "We go down together!" He yelled.

Both their bodies went falling to the ground like a speeding rocket covered in fire like a meteor rock.

It was so bright that everyone from different countries and villages could see the light falling from the sky.

Lucifer and Zeno landed in the middle of a city, causing a huge earthquake that sank buildings and anything in its path.

The people in the nearby area began running, while some weren't so lucky and got caught up in the blast and some were just barely dead.

Zeno crawled out of the hole he was in, standing on both feet Zeno looked around to see people panicking as they ran for their lives.

Hunters who had cursed weapons with them couldn't wield them because the demons refused to attack after seeing Zeno and Lucifer.

Zeno placed his finger on the ground and a small wave of his blue flames covered a wide distance.

This blue flame was slowly healing some of the injured, and the sight left a smile on Zeno's face.

"You just think of yourself as some kind of hero!" Lucifer yelled from afar.

Zeno looked in front of him and saw Lucifer holding a woman in his hands, his face and body had been burnt so badly that he barely had any skin left.

His eyes were sticking out and his skin was dropping, he could barely stand properly anymore.

"Lucifer, this fight is between you and me, there's no need to involve outsiders." Zeno uttered, looking at how the woman was shaking in fear.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lucifer gave out a crazy laugh, "That blue flame of yours is really annoying, heh, I can't heal myself anymore." He said with his voice cracking up.

"I wonder…" Lucifer uttered as he stared at the woman for a while before pulling her close.

"Lucifer, wait, don't do it!" Zeno yelled but it was already too late, it happened in a second the woman's body turned into dust.

"Even the humans Xhen energy can't heal me, how disappointing," Lucifer muttered with a weak voice before sitting on the ground.

Everyone slowly started gathering around the scene, watching Zeno stand in front of Lucifer who looked like a dying monster sitting on the ground.

"She didn't have to die." Zeno asserted.

Lucifer coughed, "Tell… me." He uttered like a sick old man, "How good does it feel to know you defeated me?" He asked.

"It was never supposed to feel good, believe it or not, you were my friend and I wanted to help." Zeno said.

"Uhn… is that so." Lucifer laughed, "Looks like I'm not the only one dying." He voiced out.

"Uhn?"

Zeno looked at his lower body and saw that it was slowly turning into dust, with a smile he fell to the ground alongside Lucifer.

"You sick fuck, you would kill yourself just to kill me," Lucifer laughed as he stared at the sky.

"I'm gullible that way." Zeno responded.

"Do what you must, even the Demon of pride knows when it's time to give in." Lucifer claimed, "These people you are fighting for, will one day turn on you".

"I'll cross that bridge when I get there." Zeno replied.

"Stupid you still have hope for the same humans that burnt you alive.".

"There's always hope for humanity".

"... Just kill me already".

The place went quiet for a while, with only the mummering of people who were watching them echoed.

With a deep breath, Zeno placed his hand on Lucifer's head, "I'm sorry it had to end like this." He said.

"Fuck you." Lucifer uttered with a smile.

Ruuosh!

The blue flames enveloped Lucifer, causing his body to disappear into the dust before the flames went off.

Once Lucifer was gone, Zeno looked to the sky as the rest of his body started to turn into dust, "Ahhh, I guess it's time." He uttered.

"Maybe this time, I'll be reincarnated as an angel back." He gave a weak smile before tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I shouldn't be crying, damn it! I knew this was going to happen." Zeno sobbed but he immediately calmed down.

The flames had already devoured his lower part and were now moving to the upper part of Zeno's part.

With his eyes closed Zeno took a deep breath, "This is for the best".

"Like hell! You're going nowhe!"

A voice yelled from afar, causing Zeno to immediately open his eyes to check who the person was.
