Lux wasn't aware of Keoza's on-going nice chat with the silver-haired man that kidnapped Cai because he was busy giving Nero a piece of his mind.
Each time the Abyssal Teenager was hit by several Dragon Breaths, the Half-Elf would once again order his clones or Eiko's clones to activate Duel [EX], giving Nero no time to recover or catch his breath.
Currently, the recognized prodigy of Wildgarde Stronghold was feeling pain beyond the threshold that he could endure, and he screamed as he bathed in the blazing flames that were once again fired in his direction.
Lux looked at this scene without any shred of mercy in his eyes. Anyone who would dare to hurt or attempt to kill any of his family members was his enemy.
"S-Stop!" Nero pleaded as he tried to prop himself up from the ground, with blood gushing out of his lips. "I give up! I surrender! You win!"
Nero knew that if the Half-Elf's attack continued, his soul would be damaged beyond repair, making him unable to retain his control over his body.
"We belong in the same faction!" Nero shouted. "Both of us are from the Wildgarde Stronghold! How about we talk this out properly, and wipe out all our grievances with each other? What do you say?"
Lux looked at his enemy who was on all fours after getting hit by fifteen Dragon Breaths after he had summoned Keoza to deal with the silver-haired man, who had used Cai as a hostage.
Nero's body was covered with black blood due to the countless injuries he received from Lux's devastating attacks.
His armor had been torn off in several places, and the earlier arrogance he displayed was nowhere to be seen.
"I say…," Lux replied while smoke oozed out from his mouth. "F*ck you!"
Nero immediately tried to fly up in the sky in order to gain distance away from the Half-Elf and escape his one-sided punishment, but it was already too late.
One of Lux's clones had used Duel [EX] once again, and Nero couldn't do anything but shout in anger, regret, and frustration, knowing what was about to come next.
However, before the Half-Elf could unleash his attack, the ground behind him rose up, and Jasper, the temporary leader of the opposing team, slashed his sword to cut off the Half-Elf's head from behind.
Jasper knew that Nero's existence was important to overturn the situation of the war, and he couldn't allow him to die at this point in time.
So, after kicking Einar away, the prodigy from the Xynnar War Pact, merged with the ground in order to travel towards Lux's location.
Since Einar couldn't detect where his enemy was headed, he warned his teammates to be careful about any possible sneak attacks from the ground.
Since Lux was a good distance away from where they were fighting, he didn't expect that someone would come and sneak attack him from behind in order to save Nero, who was about to die in Lux's hands.
However, there was someone who was paying close attention to the changes in the battlefield, and it was none other than Asmodeus, whom Lux had assigned to assist him, just in case something similar to what Jasper was planning to do happened.
Just as Jasper's blade was about to hack the Half-Elf's neck, his body stiffened, and his sword blade paused mid-swing.
A moment later, he found himself being pulled towards an eager crowd of Skeleton Gangbangers who were holding their sharp and sturdy swords, ready to punish the person who dared to sneak attack their Master from behind.
Since Asmodeus was capable of using all the skills that Lux had, with the exception of his Draconic Powers, he was easily able to use the skill, Duel [EX], to force Jasper to attack him.
The blonde-haired teenager's face immediately became grim when he understood what had just happened to him.
Asmodeus stood with his arms crossed over his chest, while Morpheus (Death Tyrant) and Lazarus (Great Flame Skull) hovered beside him, eyeing the fear-stricken teenager with contempt.
"Gangbang Time!" one of the Skeleton Gangbangers shouted before charging towards Jasper with his sword raised high.
The hundreds of Skeleton Gangbangers, who were similar to Rugby Players who were dead-set on pinning down the person that was holding the ball, followed.
"N-Noooooooooo!" a blood curdling scream escaped Jasper's lips as he tried to protect himself from the hundreds of Rank 4 Skeleton Gangbangers, who were about to screw him a hundred times over!contemporary romance
(A/N: Kekeke pun intended).
As an Initiate, he was several times stronger than the Skeletons that had charged towards him en masse. Unfortunately, he didn't have full control of his body, and helplessly ran towards Asmodeus, who was at the very rear of the formation.
Although the blonde-haired teenager was able to hack, and dismantle dozens of Undead Warriors, there were simply too many for him to fight, which resulted in him being overwhelmed by their numbers.
After getting pinned to the ground, Jasper was stabbed repeatedly by countless swords, making him cry out in pain.
Even so, the Skeleton Gangbangers didn't show him any mercy and gave the pitiful teenager a taste of what it was like to fight against hundreds of Undead all by himself.
"Maaaaaan, that looks sick," Lazarus commented after seeing Jasper's pitiful state. "And very painful as well. Dear God, the poor boy's backside is nothing more than a tenderized piece of meat. What a very painful way to die."
Asmodeus nodded before rubbing his chin. "The Skeleton Gangbangers are a different breed of Undead. In fact, I think Master is the only Necromancer in Elysium and Solais who has Skeleton Gangbangers under his command.
"I'm afraid that when that child returns to Elysium, he will awaken with a different kind of fetish due to this experience. Welp. That's what he gets for trying to kill our Master. I think he got the easy way out, don't you think so?"
Lazarus and Morpheus both nodded their heads in agreement.
However, the representatives of the different factions, who were watching Jasper's current situation from outside the Domain of the Fallen, had complicated expressions on their faces.
The teenagers, on the other hand, subconsciously covered their backside with their hands as they looked at the projection of the distressed prodigy from the Xynnar War Pact.
If it were them, they would have already committed suicide in order to escape such a punishment that could potentially haunt them for the rest of their lives.
On that day, all the teenagers vowed to never, ever, antagonize Lux again.
After seeing what the Half-Elf was capable of doing, they decided that, whatever would happen in the future, they would stick with him, even if he kicked them out of his party the next time they challenged the Hell Difficulty of the Sacred Dungeon.
After two agonizing minutes, Jasper reappeared outside the Gate of the Domain of the Fallen.
His body was covered with wounds, but his life was not in danger.
The Elders of his Faction immediately poured high-quality healing potions over his body, especially over his backside, which had received a lot of punishment.
Although the damage his body received wasn't as serious as the damage he had taken inside the Dungeon, Jasper's current mental state was unstable after the experience that he had been through.
To his credit, no one among those who witnessed his plight made any comments, allowing the prodigy of the Xynnar War Pact to retain a shred of his dignity.
Even the members of the Skystead Alliance, who were always at odds with the Xynnar War Pact, couldn't bring themselves to tease the blond-haired teenager, who was forced to drink a sleeping potion, so that his immediate superior could wipe the memory of what happened from his mind.
They were afraid that the experience the teenager suffered would hinder his growth, so they resolved themselves to erase a part of his memory in order to protect his future.
"Such brutal Undead," Natasha commented as she made a sign of the Goddess in front of her. "I think I should have a little talk with Lux when he gets back. Some things must never be done to other people, especially to the members of the Factions of the Xynnar War Pact, who can be considered as our allies in Elysium."
Gerald and Rainer nodded their heads in agreement.
Although they knew that they couldn't blame Lux for what just happened to Jasper, they were still worried that there would be a repeat of this incident in the future, which might make the relationship between the different Factions and the Half-Elf turn sour, creating more troubles for him after this expedition in the Sacred Dungeon came to an end.
