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.

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?”
He leaned against a rock as he stood. However, the moment he stood, he collapsed to the ground once
more.
Though the beasts wanted to help him up, they did not dare to do so.
After a couple of minutes, Lucifer finally managed to stand up. Staring into the distance, he noticed that James was
lying on the ground with a group of people surrounding him.
However, no one helped him up as well.
“You have lost, James.”
Lucifer walked in James’ direction, staggering and stumbling his way toward him.
James’ injuries were simply too grave, not to mention that he had lost his spine. As such, he could not stand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he did not lose consciousness and was able to hear Lucifer’s words.
However, he could not see him.
In fact, he could only see the sky and a few familiar faces before him-the Blithe King, Henry, Delainey, and Quincy.
As for the rest, he could not see their faces.
“Did Lucifer manage to stand?”
He asked in a feeble voice.
Seeing that no one answered him, he roared, “Answer me!”
However, his roar aggravated his injuries, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Quincy hurriedly said, “Y-Yes, he did.”
Hearing this, James took a deep breath. That would mean he had lost.
“No, I cannot lose.”
He felt a strong conviction rising in his heart. If he lost, all of humanity would be doomed.
He tried getting up. However, as his body did not have the support of the spine, the upper half of his body simply
would not budge.
