Apocalypse King: The Return of Lucian-Chapter 44: Unleashing Hell

Chapter 44: Unleashing Hell

The world seemed to hold its breath.

Lucian and Dorian stood amidst the ruins, their energy warping the air around them. The sheer power radiating from them was enough to send weaker survivors collapsing to their knees in fear.

Lucian rolled his shoulders, his smirk never fading. "You're finally getting serious. Took you long enough."

Dorian's golden aura flared, cracks forming beneath his feet as the earth struggled to withstand his power. "I'll crush you, Lucian. No more games."

Lucian's crimson eyes gleamed with excitement. "Good. I was getting bored."

Then—

BOOM!

They vanished.

A moment later, they collided mid-air, the impact creating a sonic explosion that shattered what was left of the city skyline. Shockwaves ripped through buildings, reducing them to dust as the battle raged with inhuman speed.

Dorian swung a devastating punch—Lucian dodged by mere inches, feeling the air split apart beside his face. He retaliated, his blade slicing through the golden glow surrounding Dorian.

CLANG!

The blade met unbreakable skin, sparks flying as Dorian's body refused to be cut.

Lucian clicked his tongue. "You really are built like a damn tank."

Dorian smirked, driving his knee into Lucian's ribs.

CRACK!

Lucian coughed, blood spraying from his mouth as he was sent hurtling through three collapsed buildings before finally skidding to a stop. Dust and debris settled around him as he wiped the blood from his lips, his grin never wavering.

"That actually hurt," Lucian muttered. "Guess I'll stop holding back now."

Dorian landed a few meters away, golden energy pulsing around him. "Big talk. Let's see it."

Lucian exhaled, and suddenly—

The air ignited.

A deep crimson aura erupted from him, twisting the very fabric of reality. The heat from his power melted the pavement beneath him, turning concrete into molten lava. His eyes burned with an eerie glow, his expression calm but deadly.

Dorian's smirk faltered for the first time. "...What the hell are you?"

Lucian cracked his neck, gripping his sword tighter. "Death."

Then, with a single step—

He disappeared.

Dorian barely had time to react before a fist collided with his gut, sending him crashing through an entire district like a meteor.

Lucian followed, appearing above him in an instant.

SLASH!

For the first time—Dorian's blood splattered across the battlefield.

Lucian's grin widened. "Now we're having fun."
