Chapter 201: Ch. 194 - Battle of the wills
"Come!" Lucifer proudly challenged him while his eyes fixed on Sam's.
"Sin of Pride?" Sam asked in a rhetorical manner, which means that his question is not intended to be answered.
Still, Sam liked the feeling of physical fighting and getting actually hurt again, not that he's a masochist or something. So, Sam took Lucifer's challenge and slowly approached him with a cautious demeanor.
10 seconds has passed and Sam is still assessing any openings that Lucifer has and speaking of openings.
Lucifer himself is also watching out for Sam's opening and although both of them could see each other's openings, they didn't dare to take the initiative in fear of being countered.
So they stayed that way until Lucifer grew impatient, and mixed with his sin of anger, he decided to bite the bullet and rushed towards Sam, going forward on one of his openings.
*Swooosh!*
Delivering a punch towards his left cheek, Sam quickly reacted to this and stepped back to avoid it, only for Lucifer to reveal this as a faint as he has already crouched and swiped his feet over Sam's.
*Swish!*
Much to Lucifer's surprise, he failed to swipe Sam off his feet for some unknown reason even though his feet came in contact with his ankles.
"Sorry but my stance keeps me rooted on the ground." Sam grinned to himself, finally finding a way to show off his unmovable stance, that prevents from getting off in situations like this.
Before Lucifer could stand up, Sam had already rooted his feet around his ankle before twisting it very hard.
*Crack!*
Hearing the sound of Lucifer's bone cracking, Sam smiled to himself, finally gaining an advantage towards Lucifer.
Meanwhile, Lucifer ignored the pain on his foot, normally because he's already immune to such pains, imagine living in hell for so many years where your skin always burns 24/7, it won't be a surprise for someone's body to adapt in such time.
Using his body to forcefully remove Sam out of his way, Lucifer rolled backwards and stood on his two feet.
Before Sam's eyes, Lucifer grabbed a nearby pole and uprooted it from the ground.
"Seriously, using weapons now?" Sam raised an eyebrow and also looked around to see which he can use as a weapon.
The moment his eye laid upon two police cars on the ground, a glint flashed within his eyes.
And much to Lucifer's stunned eyes, Sam grabbed the two police cars and inserted both of his hands forcefully inside, making a DYI boxing glove for himself.
"Alright, let's continue!" Sam smiled and smashed both of his fists coated with the police cars, against each other.
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
"You think that thing would be of any help?" Lucifer grimaced and yelled, he felt like his opponent and other half was just making fun of him.
"I'm serious with this, you might not know this but I know someone who used this as a weapon and almost won against his opponent." Sam said while shrugging his shoulders.
Lucifer's mouth quivered in both confusion mixed with anger before deciding to take the initiative to strike again.
"Huuuf!" Jumping from his position, Lucifer reached a height of 100 meters before bringing his pole down towards Sam's position.
Seeing how Lucifer's shadow is covering him, Sam whistled to himself before deflecting Lucifer's pole strike with a punch of his.
*Boom!*
Shockwaves soon occurred around them, destroying several structures and blowing the cars away from the initial shockwave.
Sam felt the pain on his knuckles and could tell that it is bleeding profusely and although he's inside his own soul, Sam could still inflict pain on Lucifer while at the same time, he could also be inflicted with pain at the same time.
In this soul space of his, both of them are equal.
Seeing the blood on Sam's knuckles, Lucifer took this as a good sign and continued smashing his pole towards Sam several times until it snapped in half.
Meanwhile, during the barrage of pole strikes, Sam kept either dodging or parrying it with his fists, mostly parrying as dodging the strikes were very hard considering that Lucifer could somehow predict his movements and act in advance before he could make the said move.
Sam felt his knuckles shivering from pain before tilting his head slightly just in time for the other half of the pole to strike where his head is supposed to be.
Just as Sam thought Lucifer would throw the other one at him, his eyes widened in surprise when the ground where he was stepping on suddenly moved out of Lucifer's will and snapped his foot on the ground, locking him in place.
Which gave enough time for Lucifer to use the pole to stab Sam on his shoulder.
*Pucchha!*
"Urrrggh!" Resisting the urge to shout in pain, Sam glared at Lucifer while cursing himself at the same time for forgetting something so crucial out of expectation of being able to fight Lucifer toe to toe.
He should've expected such a move coming from the origin of sins.
"That's right, moan in pain. Like the ones I used to torture in hell as part of my daily routine." Lucifer went closer to Sam's face and whispered to him with a hint of insanity in his voice, clearly indicating how he's taking pleasure from what he's doing.
"Any last words before I send you to hell? Don't worry, I'll prepare an exclusive place for you in hell." Lucifer nodded his head and declared. However, Sam's next words that are supposed to be his last were out of his expectations.
"You should have gone for the head." As soon as this sentence left Sam's mouth, his arm quickly moved on his side and grabbed a nearby metallic lamp-post and uprooted it from the ground before using it to stab Lucifer on his neck.
*Puchaa!*
*Splurtt!*
Feeling the sudden feeling of pain in his neck, Lucifer gulped very hard and used his free hand to touch his neck, only to feel his warm blood touching his fingers.
At the same time, his grip slowly loosened on the pole that he used to stab Sam on his shoulder.
Standing up properly, Sam gritted his teeth and pulled the pole out of his shoulder before using them to stab Lucifer once again but this time, right on his chin up to his skull, stabbing his head vertically.
"This is how you do it." Sam breathed heavily and muttered to himself, watching as the light on Lucifer's eyes slowly lost its shine.
Assuming that Lucifer is dead and killed, Sam finally sighed in relief and slumped down on the ground.
However, he suddenly heard a shout inside his head.
[Sam, he's not dead yet!]
"Huh?-!!!" Confused at the words in his head, it was already too late to be ready when the ground that he was sitting on suddenly formed a spike and stabbed him on his nape, piercing through his entire neck.
*Splurtt!*
"Kkaakk!" Muttering the last sound his vocal chords could utter before being destroyed, Sam's eyes were full of surprise.
"Did you really think you'd win by killing the body? Then you're a fool! We're inside our soul! Only our Will here matters!" Sam could hear a shout coming out of the sky, although he wanted to retort but his neck has been pierced and any moment now, he'll die, so he can't reply to Lucifer's provocation.
At the same time, the entire urban city that was already destroyed thanks to their fight slowly turned into burning ruins while the siy turned red.
If an avid gamer were to look at this scene, he might think that this world is the world of Doom Eternal just by how similar it is to the world of Doom Eternal.
[Son, don't lose hope! This is your soul! What he can do, you can also do it!] Before completely dying, Sam heard God's voice for the last time before the light on Sam's eyes also lost its shine.
***
Before long, Sam found himself waking up again but this time, he wasn't in the urban city that he created anymore or the black space where he woke up earlier.
Instead, he was in a white space facing someone in front of him.
"....You look like me." Sam muttered loudly while looking at himself in front of him. If it wasn't for the difference in clothes whereas Sam was wearing nothing while the person in front of him wore his Jin Kazama black trench coat suit.
"....That's because I am you. Or at least the Personification of your Existence." The clone Sam said to the original Sam, giving him slight confusion.
"Huh? Personifici-what?" Sam tilted his head and said in confusion, not understanding the words of his clone self.
"That's not important. What's important is that you're losing your battle." The other Sam said while staring deep in his eyes.
"Of course, I'll lose. I'm just a mere half while I'm fighting the original me." Sam sighed in defeat before crouching and sitting on the ground. You can clearly see the look of giving up on Sam's face.
"Is that why you're losing?" The other Sam tilted his head and asked for confirmation.
After a few seconds and receiving no answer from Sam, the other Sam took this as a sign of a yes.
"If that's what it is then you're an idiot."
"Huh?"
"You're an idiot."
"Yes, I heard you! I'm confused why are you calling me an idiot?"
"That's because you're not Lucifer's half."
"Sorry what?" Sam cleared his ears with his pinku before asking for a repeat.
"I said, you're not Lucifer's half. You were created using half of Lucifer's soul, that's a fact that cannot be changed but the moment you gained your own consciousness, made memories, experienced emotions and such, you have long ascended and became a separate person away from the original."
"You- no, We are Samael."
