Black Clover: Hatred of the devil hybrid (Sequel Of Walking On The Wrong Path)

Chapter 10 | Manipulated

Lucifer and Asta's sword clashed together which created screeches from the friction. Asta grins and Lucifer noticed it.

"You're finished!" Asta shouted as one of the demon slayer sword appears behind Lucifer and tries to stab him.

Lucifer use his vector manipulation to reflect the sword to the opposite side then he uses his anti magic to control the sword. Asta looked surprised but then his sadistic grin appears again.

He coated blue flames on demon dweller sword and he swings his sword while he releases the blue flame at Lucifer. *yes it's blue exorcist manga chapter 132 reference*

Lucifer use a shield that is made from his ability to shield himself from the flames. 'I shouldn't play around like this, I should just knock him unconscious in a single hit without holding back. Then help him in his mind. But I can do it in a different way without knocking him unconscious' Lucifer thought as Asta sent another wave of blue flames at him and he did the same thing to block the flames again. Suddenly he appear in front of Asta and restrain asta by controlling the wind around them and put it around the wrist, legs and neck.

Asta struggled and tried to break free from the restraints but it didn't work at all. "Now don't struggle, I'll help you to solve this" Lucifer said then he put his hands beside asta's head.

"Memory magic: mind invasion"

He closed his eyes the he casted a spell as his hand glowed and asta fell unconscious while Lucifer just stand there frozen with his eyes closed.

*in asta's mind*

Lucifer opened his eyes and he only sees endless black space with red blood on the floor and skulls scattered on the ground. He walked straight as if this isn't the first time coming. Then he saw the human asta is unconscious and chained on the wall which is should be so called endless space. But he didn't see the demonic asta around.

Suddenly a skull flies towards him, he saw it and grabbed it when it almost hit him. "I know you were manipulating the human side of youself all along when you were awaken. You lied to him and let him think both of you have merged togther. But actually both of you weren't merged together." Lucifer said as he glare at the direction where the skull was thrown from, then he heard a chuckle from that direction and behind a pile of skulls, the demonic asta walks in front of the skulls with a serious face.

"You've found out about it huh." The demonic asta said "you tricked him and take over the body whenever the human you feels guilty. You posessed him on the day both of you 'merge' and both of your memories are connected so the human you won't think you are suspicious. Am I correct?" Lucifer asks which made the demonic asta grins.

"Yes, is true that I possessed him at the start after the so called merge. I didn't know you would find out this fast" the demonic asta scoffed

Lucifer walk towards the human asta and wakes him up by slightly shaking his shoulder. He heard a groan and saw asta open his eyes, lucifer was surprised when he see astas eyes are dull and it contains guilt and fear.

"What do you want?" Asta asked quietly "do you know that you were tricked by the demonic side of you?" Lucifer asks nicely and asta nods "then why didn't you try to fight back?"

"I couldn't beat him even though I kept on training. I don't want to kill or hurt a single person again. I feel the dead people's eyes that I killed are looking at me with hatred every single day which made me scared and feel guilty." Asta respond in fear and guilt as lucifer sighs

"Do you know the number of people you killed is just a quater or maybe lesser of the amount of people I've killed in my life." Lucifer said which made asta look at him curiously, indicating that he want to hear more.
