"Try not to die, Lucifer Morningstar," Robert declared, a serious visage covering his wrinkled face.
From his hands, thick energy flowed into the hilt of the blade, its silver surface turning a brilliant blue. The sword transformed into a long blade of sharp, radiating energy, with flickers of lightning dancing around it.
Seeing him grow serious, Lucifer turned to Ume and commanded, the smile never leaving his face, "Ume darling, reinforce the barrier."
For a brief moment, Ume gazed at him with a solemn expression, then turned away, taking Aestra to the corner of the zenith. There, she began drawing hand signs, strengthening the barrier so it could withstand the clash between Lucifer and Robert.
"Unlike Lyra, who could only use an imitation, this is true Sword Aura in its complete form," Robert declared, gripping the sword with both hands. "You will die if you do not take this seriously."
