The reason why Lucifer wants to eliminate Cervantez before he can get any stronger is because of the heritage of his bloodline. The Hazelgroove royal family, although diluted over centuries has the blood of archangel Michael flowing through their veins.
The first great war which Lucifer waged , was also because the moment the first Emperor reached tier 5 he was close to awakening the divine blood inside him . Very close to achieving true divinity .
If Micheal gains a tier 6 bloodline descendant added to his ranks , then his half brother and the strongest angel would have another powerfull ally added to his ranks , something that Lucifer absolutely could not let happen.
However , what could he do? , Being banished from the realm of humans by the four archangels and the goddess of life , he was confined to the depths of hell.
However , Lucifer was not completely powerless in hell . He was capable of manipulating strings behind the scenes and let his minions do his dirty work.
The first time he tried to personally descend on the human realm , Lucifer quickly understood that Mazikeen's body devoid of the divine blood of god's , was a massive restriction in him using his true power. He could not even exert 5% of his true power without the vessel exploding.
But even then he was able to critically injure the first emperor , erasing the chances of him gainng divinity.
Years passed by , and the blood merchant organization started to operate in Hazelgroove kingdom , to try find a royal family member , perfect to be taken as a vessel for the dark lord.
But the problem with the royal descendants was that they were full of vitality , blessed by the goddess of light and hence very difficult to be taken over as vessels.
Hence started the manipulation by Lucifer , as he plaqued Prince Aman's sleep , subconsciously diverting him from the path of righteousness and slowly pushing him towards the art of nercromancy , slowly pushing him towards the journey to reduce his vitality.
It was Lucifer who manipulated Aman into taking the throne , and getting rid of Cervantez , as it looked like everything was set for Lucifer to eventually take over and change the constitution of Hazelgroove kingdom from the inside .
However all that changed with the appearance of the first blood descendant of archangel sariel. The divinity in his blood much stronger than in Aman's , but the body being too weak at just tier 2 was insufficient for Lucifer to flex his might.
Yet his blood if sacrificed to Lucifer , would greatly increase the power of Lucifer , as except for Micheal , Lucifer was the second strongest angel. He could forcefully steal sariels powers under these circumstances completely tilting the balance of power.
Yet just when it looked like he would be able to succeed , and sariel's child's blood would be offered to him . The plan failed ….. Soo did the plan of taking over prince Aman as vessel.
Cervantez returned and ascended to tier 5 , completely throwing the plans Lucifer had for Aman down the drain . This war was the last thing that Lucifer wanted , but with Cervantez reaching tier 5 it became a necessity.
Even though he could not hostile take over amans body untill Aman physically touched the stone eye , but he gave Mazikeen an immense amount of forces and support to achieve this simple task for him . As in reward for her completing this small task he would reward her with her revenge on the Hazelgroove kingdom.

( Against Mazikeen )
After 5 minutes of consistently being pushed back , Cervantez was extremely calm. Even though he had his hands full at the moment trying to defend himself and Aman he knew that he could counter attack at any moment that he wanted to. The attacks were just not fast enough to completely restrain him.
Hence when Aman said " Oye oye old man is that all you've got? ".
A fire lit under Cervantez , who wanted to show his son exactly how strong his mighty father was. As Cervantez started his counterattack.
Mazikeen had only one job … That was to blast Cervantez away and somehow drag Aman to the stone eye . But even at the absolute peak of her powers …. She was unfortunately no match for Cervantez.
The swordsman showed the most beautiful yet terrifying display of true sword arts , as his every moment was powerfull enough to split mountains in half.
His movements fluid as if he was dancing on ice , yet his sword swings were incredibly sharp , as Cervantez showed his son just how strong he really was
Cervantez was truly happy to fight beside his own flesh and blood , and genuinely believed that his son was here to support him . Hence in his joy he was even more enthusiastic in his fight to supress Mazikeen. Who could barely hang- on once Cervantez took on the offensive.
Aman looked on with a cold gleam , helping his father when he could , just waiting for the right opportunity to strike . He was a snake in human skin , who believed himself to be the true master of this battlefield.
He had tasted what it felt like to steal the power of darkness from Mazikeen once. And believed that he could do it again if she was gravely injured in the fight against his father.
As even though he did not show it yet … In the battlefield where death energy was abundant and millions were dead …. A necromancer was at his strongest!
Lucifer eyed Aman … Aman eyed Mazikeen and Mazikeen wanted to get rid of Cervantez , who was trying to get rid of Lucifer. It was a complete circle of 4 extremely powerful existances , each with their unique objective. What remained to be seen was who would come out on top?
