Dueling Fate

Chapter Nineteen - Halflight's Demise

Aaaaaaaaand I'm back with another chapter of Dueling Fate. Now, I have an announcement. I've hit some serious writers block for Dueling Fate book two, so I'll be posting a second story for the first time while I get over writers block. I don't know how well it's going to be compared to Dueling Fate, due to the fact that it's in a modern setting, rather than the medieval esque slash fantasy world I normally portray stories in, but I'm still gonna try and get it out while you wait for Dueling Fate. Anyways, onward to the story.

Chapter Nineteen - Halflight's Demise

Lucifer's PoV

"Oh this energy! This strength! It feels great!" I shouted.

My bastard son. Who knew your body would make such a fine vessel for me. Possessing it is more than worth my time.

"What have you done?" Deus asked.

"Making this battle more interesting." I replied, grinning.

Halflight's PoV

"What the hell is going on?!" I frantically asked, the void around me shaking. "Is this God's work?"

"No... it's..." Azazal struggled to answer, as if he was in pain.

"What?!"

"Lucifer!"

Shinoa's PoV

"What in the hell..."

The destruction taking place before my eyes... So this is what war is really like. What Halflight has been through...

Where is he though? I don't see Hal- Oh my God...

Deus' PoV

"Unrgh!"

Such strength with Halflight's swords. Matching Lucifer's blows is rattling my bones. If I stay on defense like this, I'll be crushed.

"Just die already!" Lucifer shouted, swinging the Blade of Eden.

I barely blocked his blow, the blade just grazing my cheek.

"Getting tired?" Lucifer mocked me.

I can't directly attack him without harming Halflight's body. This isn't good. All I can do is block and dodge for now. Maybe... just maybe... Halflight and Azazal can expell Lucifer from the body vessel.

Ah damn...

"Halflight!" Someone shouted.

I turned my head to see a girl with purple hair. Isn't that Halflight's lover?

"Stay away!" I shouted at her. "This isn't the Halflight you know. He's possessed by Lucifer!"

Shinoa's PoV

"W-what?" I stuttered.

"Leave us be, begone girl." Halflight shouted, his voice deep and raspy. "This is not your buisiness."

"Halflight?"

"Idiot, Halflight is gone! ALl that's left is I, Lucifer."

"N-no, that's not possible." I retaliated. "Halflight isn't gone. I won't believe it. He's defeated those like you time and time again. There's no way he's given up yet!"

There was just no way he was gone. Halflight has performed incomprehensible feats before, this time couldn't be any different... could it?

Halflight's PoV

"I need to take back over! Azazal, figure something out!" I shouted, panicking.

"I'm trying! Lucifer's grip is just so strong." He replied.
