Both of them inherited their mother's flame power. Although it was his weaker element, among other elements, Lucifer also had the ability to wield lightning. 

"Oh, could it be?" Lucifer suddenly looked at Juin, who was still trying to form a bolt of lightning between his palms, with interest. He had never taught of the possibility since he himself was not talented in this element. 

"It can't be that he inherited Father's power…" Lucifer thought to himself as he watched the small lightning arc between Juin's palms fizzled and disappeared. 

"Two opposite powers… Is it even possible? And even if it's possible, I can't really teach him..." Lucifer frowned as he thought about the possibility. He had no talent for ice manipulation, so once he mastered the basics, he never bothered to learn further, focusing instead on flame-based and lightning-based spells. 

Furthermore, Juin's flame power was definitely strong enough to be his main. If he's able to use ice as well, would using the two opposing powers cause any backlash on Juin's body?

Even so, Lucifer felt that they had to find out about this. 

Floating down to Juin, the Daemon King placed a hand on Juin's arm and stopped him from trying to create another lightning arc. "Stop."

"Huh?" Juin looked at him while panting hard, wiping his sweaty palms on his pants at the same time. "What's wrong?" 

"Let's try another element. Try to make ice instead…" 

"I can?" Juin raised a brow questioningly. He had never tried to make any ice using soul power before.

"Just try… Just like how you created those flame balls, create an ice one," Lucifer said. 

Putting a hand out, he created three differently colored balls of flames before sending them up into midair. "Shoot those balls down."

Juin glanced at the balls of flames for a while before taking a couple of deep breaths. He cleared his mind and tried to think of ice; how cold a cube of ice was in his hand, how sharp a piece of broken ice could be, and how beautiful winter was when everything was covered by a blanket of ice. 

Basically, as long as it was cold and reminded him of ice, he was thinking about it. 

And slowly, his hands moved around in the air, almost as if he were collecting falling snowflakes.

And while he was engrossed with it, something else was happening around him. 

While Juin was standing there with his eyes closed, Lucifer jumped back further to get a better view of Juin and his surroundings. 

At the moment, Juin's body was covered by a bluish-white aura, and this aura was getting thicker and thicker, almost like it was about to engulf everything within 10 cm, 20 cm, all the way to 1 meter from Juin's body. 

"His true strength is not in flames…" Lucifer muttered to himself as he watched Juin's aura rising and rising. Even though it wasn't him, but Lucifer could not help but feel excited as he watched what was unfolding before his eyes. 

The air around Juin's body was starting to congeal and freeze, and specks of snow started to float around him, moving around in circles behind Juin until they formed three ice balls the size of an a.d.u.l.t man's fist. 

"It's ice…" 

Just as he said that, Juin opened his eyes. 

Making a "gather" movement with his hands as fluidly as water splitting apart when met with a rock, he then threw his hands out slightly. The moment he did so, the three ice balls that were floating behind Juin shot past him. 

The three ice balls hit the balls of flames in midair precisely. Two of the weaker balls of flames dispersed upon contact, but the strong blue flames remained longer. The two balls fought and circled each other, trying to get an upperhand. 

Even so, the ball of flames was soon engulfed by the ice ball that hit it, before breaking into tiny, dust-like pieces of ice that melted moments before they touched the ground.

"Father…" Lucifer mumbled when he thought he saw an image of Ralmaroz from the way Juin was staring up at the falling pieces of ice with a tranquil expression. He wondered what their father would think, if he were here… that the son he tried to kill had inherited his power. 

Ralmaroz had always been a little annoyed about the fact that Lucifer had zero talent in ice even though he was raised by one of the strongest ice users in The Nightmare Rift. 

Shaking his head, Lucifer floated back down to join Juin. "Good job…"

"I didn't know I can do that…" Juin mumbled as he looked at his hands that were slowly covered by the falling pieces of ice that melted upon contact. Somehow, those falling pieces of ice felt warm in his hands, as if they belonged as part of him. "It came… so easily."

"I was wrong previously," Lucifer said. "Your main element is ice, not flames…"

And he was a little jealous. Though as a demon king, Lucifer was blessed with many talents, he still had to train to get a good grasp of his main element. However, Juin easily managed to do it. 

---

Looking at Lucifer, Juin was speechless for a while. "I-ice?" 

"Yeah," Lucifer nodded and said, "But we have a problem."

"What?" 

"You have two opposing powers, and usually, there will be some sort of problems."

Juin's eyes widened slightly. "Like?"

"It might damage your soul power reserve if your powers can't coexist with each other. This is an extremely rare case. In fact, I have never even met or heard about anyone with opposing powers. So no, I can't answer you what kind of problems you might be facing. As of now…" 

Lucifer shook his head and sighed. "Anyway, I can't teach you ice-based spells. While I know some, they are just petty spells. You can prank people with them, but that's about it." 

He thought for a while before adding, "But I'll teach you one; one that you can use with the dagger. As for the spells, we have to check with Warlock about this… but it might be hard to check with him now." 

Juin agreed. 

"For now, focus training flame-based spells first. We'll pretend that's your main. Do not show others that your main element is ice, or that you are capable of a second element."

"Because of Presley?"

Lucifer nodded. "You heard what Warlock said. It won't be safe if all your trump cards are shown to Presley. He already knew that you are strong, hence why he agreed to your demands. If he knew about your other talents, sure, he will definitely try his best making you stronger faster. That's the great part. But we won't have the time to figure out his schemes. Up until now, we barely knew anything about him, other than he's about as strong as Warlock, or maybe even stronger, and that he has a lot of power on Earth." 

While Juin agreed, a part of him was actually unhappy with it. Once again, he had to hide his true strength. Clenching his fists, he wondered if there would ever be a day where he did not need to hide anymore...

"You're right," Juin said with a frown. "We'll go with the flow for now…"
