Yuna had previously made sure there were many souls from every Blood Devil. He tried to absorb those souls but always failed to do so.
For some reason after seeing the strange reaction of the Blood Devils army, his feelings said this time he would succeed in doing so.
Without thinking any longer he immediately made a transformation. The butterfly wings that were on his back seemed to flap several times before the empty space around him appeared countless small blue butterfly troupes.
The group of butterflies flew up quickly shrouding the body of every Blood Demon that was still screaming. Yuna raised her right hand up, her butterfly troupe began to shine.
“Soul Eater!”
Yuna's cry made the group of butterflies simultaneously suck the souls contained in the Blood Devil's body. The Blood Devil scream that sounded loud earlier slowly shrank. After the group of butterflies had completely absorbed their souls, the Blood Devils whose voices were no longer heard quickly became flakes of dust.
Finished absorbing the souls present in the Blood Devil's body, the group of butterflies moved towards Yuna and circled around her.
‘I might be able to become an Xora by absorbing these souls.’ Yuna bathed while looking at her butterflies, she could feel the souls being sucked in by the group of extremely powerful butterflies. ‘But the time is not right now. I'll do it after the affairs on this continent are done.’
The group of butterflies slowly disappeared after Yuna returned to her normal form. The woman then looked towards Lyan who was far away at the far end.
Yuna actually wanted to help Lyan deal with Astaroth, but she realized that her ability now could not help, instead it would only be troublesome.
‘Lyan, I hope you manage to handle it.’
*****
While Lyan who had realized the coming of opportunity immediately finished off the Blood Devils in a single strike.
‘This strength ... is not wrong anymore, this must be Master Light's power,' Inner Lyan when feeling a great power that feels familiar somewhere. He also guessed that the one who made the sun shine on the Continent of Light was his teacher. ‘Thank you, Master, thanks to you I was able to get through this predicament. Master Gyo and Hex, you guys must be working hard too.’
Initially Lyan was worried that Hex and the inhabitants of the Continent of Light would be fared the same as the Blood Devils when the sun began to shine on the continent. But since the Hex aura could still be felt, he believed that the inhabitants of this continent were the same, not suffering a fate like the Blood Devils.
Lyan then set her eyes on Astaroth who was staring at her below.
“Can we talk now?” asked Lyan coldly.
“Tell me what you want to say.”
“I want you to undo your curse on the inhabitants of this continent.”
Astaroth laughed softly. “Honey once, I can't grant it.”
“You can't take off your own curse?”
“Letting go of their curse is easy for me,” replied Astaroth. “Only without curse will slow down the time I need to create a Blood Demon.”
Lyan clenched her hand hard. “So, you still intend to create the creature?”
“I have to do it. I must create a new Blood Devil to destroy the demons. I was a little regretful of losing my masterpiece, but after thinking back on it I was able to recapitulate it because...,” Astaroth grinned, “By using your body which is a Xora, you are not, I will give birth to a Blood Devil that is far more powerful than any I have ever created. Maybe less than a hundred years, I've been able to destroy the demons.”
Astaroth pointed his sword at Lyan. “So, to get your body, I was forced to break my vow to Lucifer not to attack humans.”
“Then I will force you to remove the curse yourself.”
BLAARS!
Astaroth smiled widely after feeling Lyan's strength increase significantly.
Finishing the transformation, Lyan slowly opened her two eyes, then her body suddenly turned into a shadow.
“DEADLY STRIKE!”
BOOM UP!
The high-speed attack hit Astaroth in a landslide, creating a powerful explosion, but after the smoke thinned Astaroth was seen still standing laughing softly.
“You surprised me quite a bit. I thought you were just a Red Moon Xora, but it turns out that you are a Black Star Xora." Astaroth was amazed by the increase in Lyan's strength after transforming. Making him even more want to make Lyan a Blood Devil.
Regardless of Astaroth's words, Lyan again made a transformation. Golden light shot out from his body, soaring all the way to the end of the sky.
“Transformation Stage One, Yesterday!”
BLAARS!
Astaroth's eyebrows shot up when he felt Lyan's strength rise again after making a second transformation. The increase in Lyan's strength this time around was even much greater than before, Astaroth could estimate that Lyan's strength was now increasing rapidly until he reached the peak of the Black Star.
“I'm getting impatient to make you my best masterpiece.” Astaroth grinned.
Hearing those words made Lyan look at Astaroth coldly. Lyan then gathered energy on both of his fists located near the waist. After those two fists let out an extremely hot flame, Lyan immediately unleashed a streak of blows into void space, taking out dozens of terrifying fire dragons that shot towards Astaroth's place.
“NUCLEAR PUNCH!”
“Attacks like this are a little dangerous.” Astaroth raised his sword, realizing Lyan's stance this time should not be underestimated, Astaroth immediately swung his sword at a speed that the eyes could not follow.
SLASHY!
SLASHY!
SLASHY!
Astaroth's sword slash had all of Lyan's fire dragons split apart in pieces, resulting in the stance failing to deploy and disappearing slowly.
“I'm not finished.”
The area of the fight suddenly turned dark as Lyan pointed her hand towards Astaroth.
Suddenly a black sphere appeared covering Astaroth. The black ball slowly grew.
“CATASTROPHE!”
