52 Getting A Queen

Third Person PoV

Cain spoke with authority in his voice.

"Scáthach, I propose a duel against you, the winner gets their wish fulfilled."

Hearing that the stoic face of the immortal witch showed amusement. And she spoke, her voice had a detached tone to them but it still gave of a feeling of warmth. It was really a novel feeling for Cain.

'Is she like Lilith? Because I can feel some older sister vibes from her.'

"My wish is to die by your hands, but you need to win against me child."

"Oh sure, my wish is that if I manage to kill you, then you will become my queen."

Heating that Scáthach laughed, her voice was sweet but this time there was no feeling of warmth. And she spoke

"Many things——— Truly, I robbed many lives. A man. A wraith. A god. I've confronted many existences of a countless number, slaughtering all those near me.

Fight. Fight. Fight. Kill, kill, kill kill kill. In the end, this body was wet with the blood of many victims, and became immortal. The territory under my rule, the "Land of Shadows", was ultimately forced out to the dimension Outside of the World, and I ended up being promoted into an existence no different than that of a Divine Spirit.

I will not grow old. I will not die. I've changed into 'that' which is immortal.

Sure enough, I can no longer remember exactly how much time have passed since the first time I picked up a spear in my hand. It is different from something good. I, who stood on the haunted ground and guarded the "gate", already since acquired the wisdom of the abyss, so I am able to measure the exact time.

However, I simply do not feel like doing it. It is different from melancholy. It is also different from resignation. Regret?

I do not understand. I can say that, but I am unable to affirm it.

That is my Legend. So I hope you can live up to your claims, Lucifer."

Hearing that Cain also responded with equal fervour

"I severed the thread of fate of an entire species, extinguishing their existence from this plane.

I killed the descendants of satan, a bloodline know for its tyranny, the underworld trembled at my name.

I fought the angel of stars and the one who Sees the name.

In the end I stood at the top of the sins of humanity and devils, i became the king of Hell and devils.

I am Cain Livan Lucifer!"

Hearing his legend Scathach got excited and gripped her spear tightly and launched it at him without any further delay. Cain also responded by deflecting her spear with his scythe.

Without giving any time the spearwoman dashed forward and threw a punch at Cain. He responded by leaving his scythe and catching the punch with his hand while punching her with his other.

Scathach dropped down and tried to sweep his leg with speed but Cain was one step ahead and jumped backwards, avoiding the sweep.

Just as he landed he threw a front kick at Scathach, who defended using her hands but was thrown backwards. In the short time that she was in the air she summoned her spear back and rushed in to attack Cain.

Cain also took his Scythe back and matched Scáthach's spear. But in a overall match up of skill Cain was losing. His scythe mystery was a level below the spear Mastery of the queen of the land of shadows.

But his physical stats were better so he was keeping up.

'Her skills and combat sense is truly astonishing, even I am being left behind. But she should be lacking in mana compared to me.'

Thinking so Cain jumped back and created distance while simultaneously launching spears made up of darklight.

Scáthach dodged them but they suddenly extended and became chains, but even in surprise she managed to dodge most of then but one of them managed to get her leg.

It immediately started drawing her stamina and mana, she was about to use her spear to break it but Cain intervened. She was forced to fight him while being chained down.

'Now I just need to stall for time. This was easier than I thought.'

But immediately after Cain regretted thinking that as Scáthach released a rune which blasted him away, and in the short time he slower down, another rune broke the darklight chain.

But Cain was still confident that he would win easily. As Scáthach's biggest weapon, her boost when fighting against gods will not work. But then Scáthach's magic power started rising going past the satan level and entering the superdevil level.

'Dont tell Me i fucking Jinxed it.'

Then a Voice rang out, this time filled with elegance of a god and the frostiness which rivaled the norse Joutans.

"Cain was it? You may have an advantage over me if you came a few centuries earlier but as of now I think you would lose."

The reason for this was that during the 10th century, Sutr had had awoken and attacked Asgard. In that battle a frost giant named Skadi played a major role but ended up dying.

Odin in order to not let her die came to the land of shadows where he made a deal with Scáthach. He offerd her to teach the true and complete primordial rune, a thing that only he knew to her in exchange for fusing with Skadi.

Scáthach accepted it due her being a curious person who likes to get stronger, and she already knew some beforehand. In the fusion she came up as a dominant personality, but the traces of Sakdi ended up in her alongwith her abilities. Thus Scáthach Skadi was born.

Now she had the spear arts of her own, primordial rune, frost magic equal to gods and was immortal with a lot of battle experience.

Scáthach was only in the top 10 due her Godslatyng ability which strengthend her when she fought a god. But now with the fusion she was in top 10 even if her opponent was not a god.

"Well this is more like it, I thought this was not that hard. Bring it on, Queen of Snow and Ice!"

Scáthach responded to that with a barrage of ice spears, which Cain countered with his darklight. But now that his opponent matched him in physical stats thanks to giant powers. Cain was being pushed back.

In Dun Scaith, she had complete control over whatever was happening. All of Cains move were already known by her before he used them. He needed to change them at the last moment every single time.

On top of that she was able to summon weaker versions of valkyries almost endlessly. And she was launching mass produced Gae blogs using her magic.

The mass produced valkyries only took a single blow to destroy but every blow took a precious moment of this fight. Same thing happened with the spears.

'Damn she truly lives up to her titles, every single one of them!'

But just then she stopped and lifted her spear, casted a rune on it and then started concentrating her all on the spear. And then another spear came in her hands.

She rushed in close, Cain dodged but she already knew it. She attacked at the spot Cain dodged, in haste Cain managed to stop the spear but it pierced his hand.

And he got stuck, he couldn't move and then the voice rang

"This spear is an embodiment of who I am.

And I am the epitome of the spear.

"Gáe Bolg: Spear of Piercing Death."

And she threw the spear with all of her might. It reached Cain before even he could process what happened and the spear struck.

A blinding explosion was created, raising shadows so high that nothing was visible, Scáthach's body was hurt so she was using the runes to heal her.

"It was pity he died like that, but to be able to force me to use my ice magic and Gae bolg he was strong."

Just then the sound of clapping echoed in the silent realm.

"Great! Magnificent! Till now you are the second person to make me transform into my superdevil form. Congratulations Scáthach Skadi, your wish will now be fulfilled."

Cain walked out of the dust unharmed, just without his shirt. He had long black hair, purple eyes, his height rose a little and his body got more defined, he also had a tail now.(Image)

Just before the spear touch him, Cain got serious and transformed into his superdevil form, acknowledging his opponent's strength. But now it was decided who the winner was.

Just as Scáthach healed fully she heard a voice behind from her.

"Why dont you heal while throwing your spear? Why wait?"

She threw a kick lightning fast but only hit air. In the short period of that kick, Cain reached behind her and kicked her.

She managed to put her spear between her body and that kick but still got launched away while her arm broke.

From therefore on, Cain continuously attacked her without any rest. Even her healing was slowing down, none of the runes were working.

Scáthach was fighting solely based on her instinct. Seeing this Cain spoke

"Why do you trust your instincts so much?"

"They are honed by the batlles I have fought during the past centuries, they are the most reliable thing i have."

"Oh really!"

Cain instantaneously reached beside her and punched her, he focused his killing intent on it wholeheartedly. Scáthach sensing his intent guarded against that punch but he stopped at the last moment and kneed her in the stomach.

The attack brought her to the Knees while she vomited blood.

"Never be so sure of anything, this is a simple tactic, but it worked because of my intent and your instincts. If you could see me you would have dodged this too.

And what is this I thought you would attack me with a big one again?"

"Oh I will!"

Saying so far an immense of power started gathering around the witch, the entirety of the land of shadows was hers to command. The entire power of an realm. Combined with the Gae bolg and Gae bolg Alternative, both boosted by the primordial rune of death and piercing.

She thrusted it with all her might making the bones of her hand a mush.

"Spear of Mortal Death- Extinction Spike."

The thrust took the form of a chinese dragon made out of blood giving off an aura of death. This attack had the cause and effect ability. This was a sure hit kill attack. It will change its direction just to hit the target.

And attack stronger than Odin's gungnir. The attack which even gods cant survive. The attack which made Scáthach a God slayer.

'Hmm I can't dodge it, it will hit me regardless. Well lets stop it then!'

Cain stood steadfast in the way of the spear of death. And when it reached near his chest caught it with his hand. The spear tried to change its path but Cain was stubborn with his strength to back it up.

The entirety of the realm tried to force the spear into Cain's chest but failed to do so.

'Fuck this! I need to make sure that she is free of any other divine authority.'

Cain took his scythe in one hand and stopped the spear with one hand. His hand was getting more and more destroyed every moment.

But he persisted and a large scythes the one which beheaded his brother and ended the civil war was once again forming.

With a silent acknowledgment for his opponent's strength Cain swing his scythe, destroying the land of shadows and the attack.

Just as the scythe connected with the ground, cracks in the very fabric of reality appeared. They started growing larger and larger till the land of shadows broke like pieces of glass.

To avoid causing such massive destruction which was the result of a dimension breaking alongwith the strongest devils attack, he opened a portal to the dimensional gap and diverted all the energy into it.

This attack destroyed a weakened world tree, so the land of shadows was not able to withstand it.

The scenery changed and he found himself standing infront of the Dunscaith castle on Earth, while Scáthach stood at the gate in awe of the spectacle Cain just pulled.

Cain then teleported behind, he and said

"You even got stronger in this fight."

"Indeed, I have no regrets."

Just as that happened, the scythe of death pierced the chest of the immortal witch. Due to the destruction of the land of shadows she was no longer immortal and thus the God slayer died.

"Now I need to think of a motivational speech so that she has the will to live."

Cain thought with a sigh.

...

Soon after Cain took out his queen piece and put it in Scáthach's chest, and started chanting, and with his chant the Lucifer clan circle came beneath her.

"I, Cain Livan Lucifer, hereby order you,

Heed me Scáthach Skadi, bring your soul back to this world and become my queen devil.

You shall become my queen and rejoice in your newfound life."

With the completion of the chant, the piece went inside her. Soon after her body glowed and the wound healed.

Sensing that the process was successful, Cain lifted her in a princess carry and teleported back to his castle.

After reaching there he put her on a bed and ordered some maids to look after her. And he then went to talk with his wives.
