Lucus watched as everyone approached him and a small smile formed on his face "Well seems like we have a little party starting up here." he said before he began hovering above the ground. some wind wrapped around his fet before leaving, revealing his weapon, which was rather simple: it was a pair of metal shoes worn over his regular ones but a small, axe-like blade came out of the front of the 'shoes' while a smaller blade came out of the back." So shall we play a game? Oh i know how about a gamble? If you all beat me i leave no questions asked and never set foot in this world again. But if I win then I'll still win but I'll take my youngest daughter with me and do whatever i want with her. Sound good? Yes. Okay we have a deal then. Let's start." No sooner did he finish speaking then did he dash towards Exomin and Eximna, closing the gap in mere secends. He sent a kick at them that was surprising fast for someone wearing metal shoes while at the same time sending lethal blades of wind at Joshua, Amaya, Ascot, Rose, Xayama, Xahsouj, and Rika. Joshua puled Amaya and Elyse towards him while he blocked his by summoning a barrier of dark energy. Meanwhile Xahsouj used a wall of shadows to take blow for him and Satoko blocked the one heading for Rika, her guan-dou in hand and her expression furious. Probably in a surprising move for those who knew them, Joshua and Xahsouj stayed back, their expressions weary. They senced that Lucus was powerful and both were trying to think of ways to act against him.
