Chapter 2393
Though James was ambushed, he had been secretly gathering strength to deal the death blow the moment Lucifer lowered his guard.
After attacking, James collapsed. Unable to hold on to Sacrilegious Ascension any longer, his spine which was formed using Empyrean Spiritual Energy dissipated. Without the support of his spine, James could not even stand.
However, he could not collapse. To collapse now would mean that he had lost the battle, or at best fought to a draw.
He tried to roll over. However, as his spine was shattered, not to mention that his injuries were grave, he felt excruciating pain throughout his body the moment he moved. Even though he had cultivated his physical body for a long time, he could not endure the pain.
So, he lay on the ground and rested.
The Demonic Energy inside his body had yet to be depleted. Threads of Demonic Energy slowly rejuvenated his injuries. However, the Demonic Energy was scarce. It was merely like a drop in the ocean. It was no use.
He lay on the pile of rubble and panted for breath.
Lucifer was the same. After forcibly catalyzing the Imperial Weapon and summoning its full strength, not to mention being injured by the Infinity Steles and ambushed by James, he was already at his limit.
The two simply lay on the ground, motionless.
Upon seeing that the battle had died down, the living beings that were observing the battle summoned their courage and slowly approached the battlefield.
After approaching the pile of rubble, they realized that both James and Lucifer were lying on the ground motionless.
“Master…”
A few beasts approached Lucifer and tried to help him up.
“Get lost!”
Lucifer roared.
However, as he was in a weakened state, his voice was feeble.
Seeing this, the beasts backed off.
“Stand down!” Lucifer said, “How can I possibly be defeated by the likes of him?”
