Chapter 585 - 585: Trapped
As soon as Lucifer's fist landed on the ground, something happened which had never happened before. Instead of the lighting coming from the sky, the black lightning came from the ground through the cracks that were developed because of the punch.
All the powerful lightning formed a lightning wall before Lucifer, which blocked all the flames, not letting even a tiny bit reach him.
The fierce flames of a High Beast faced the mighty thunder of a Warlock which had evolved from S Grade. It was something that could even defend him against such attacks.
Lightning was not only more powerful now after the evolution, but it was also more flexible. It wasn't only something that could be used to attack blindly. It could also provide a defense to him.
"This..." Standing in the back, even Salazar's jaws dropped open. He had never seen something like this. He was a big fan of Lucifer's father, but even he hadn't used an attack similar to this. The son was certainly achieving new milestones.
He couldn't help but wonder how far Lucifer could reach. His future prospects are immeasurable with this growth.
When he first saw Lucifer, he was strong, but he couldn't defy his time domain. He wasn't strong enough to defeat Milena alone.
He wasn't capable of taking on the Warlock Council. However, in such a short time, he had defeated two leaders of the Warlock Council, including Milena. Not only that, he achieved something even more.
At first, it was hard to defeat even ordinary Summoned Beasts, but this time, he wasn't just facing the ordinary beasts. Instead, he was capable of facing High Beasts, especially their leaders.
After the fire was taken care of, Lucifer didn't stop. This time, the lightning didn't come from the ground; instead it actually came from the sky.
Hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky in the small area where Amelia's mother was standing. He was using his wind control to feel the presence of the lady.
All the lightning bolts dropped in the small area, blocking all the escapes of Amelia's mother. Even she was stunned at this sheer power.
This control over lifting was even better than what the Thunder Lions used. She could only become smaller to avoid the bolts as much as she could b
"That trick won't work, lady," Lucifer said in an emotionless voice. All the lightning bolts that had fallen stopped in their place. Some even flew back after falling on the ground, forming a Prison of lightning.
All the bolts formed a small box that was made from black lightning. And Amelia's mother was trapped inside.
In the small lighting prison, not even the tiniest bit of gap was left.
Moreover, the prison only kept getting smaller. The lightning wall disappeared as Lucifer started walking towards the lightning prison.
"The sheer strength..." Hun's father muttered, frowning. All this while, Lucifer only defeated the High Beasts that hadn't turned. It was the first time he was seeing Lucifer defeat one fully turned beast, and that too with such ease.
Lucifer reached the small lightning box, which was only fifty centimeters wide now, shrinking with each passing second.
Inside the lighting prison, Amelia's mother was trying her best to free herself. She kept using her flames to destroy the prison, but to no avail.
Lucifer stood just a meter away from the lightning box as he raised his lightning Sword.
He brought the sword slashing down to cut the lighting prison in half and the woman inside with it.
Even though it looked like a long time had passed in this battle, but only a few minutes had passed since Amelia's mother turned. It wasn't even a minute since she sent her daughter flying out the window.
The lightning sword came slashing down.
"Lucifer, stop!" Salazar yelled abruptly.
Lucifer stopped just as the sword was a few inches away from the box.
"What?" Lucifer turned back.
"Don't do it."
"Why not? She tried to kill me? All those who try to kill me will die."
"I understand what you're trying to say, but I think she learned the lesson. She won't try it again. Moreover, weren't we here to save your friend? Is it really right to kill her mother after we interrupted the wedding in the first place instead?"
Salazar took a deep breath. "We'll be leaving this place soon. Do you want to leave your friend an orphan? I'm not saying that you shouldn't kill the ones who try to kill you, but don't kill the mother of that girl. You already punished her enough."
"Moreover, after we leave, we won't see. Her again!'
Salazar tried to convince Lucifer.
"Not leaving her an orphan?" Lucifer muttered, frowning. "Argh, you're really annoying, you know that?"
"I know, but sometimes it's needed. Kill everyone you want, just not her mother. Trust me; you'll thank me a few years later for stopping you," Salazar responded.
"Whatever. I'll listen this once," Lucifer lazily said. "But if she tries to attack me again, I'm taking her head."
The small box stopped shrinking. The lightning sword also disappeared.
Lucifer walked back to the main seat and again sat down. The lightning box also flew behind him, stopping before him.
It was also when Amelia came flying inside. "Mother, please don't! Huh? Mother? Where is she?"
"Aren't you a bit too soon? You should've come back after finishing snacks etc.," Salazar laughed, looking at Amelia. That lady actually came after everything was over.
"Your mother is right here," Lucifer lazily said, sending the lightning box flying to Amelia. "Teach your mom not to mess with me next time. Who knows, I might not be in the mood to forgive."
The lightning box stopped before Amelia. The lightning started disappearing, slowly revealing the bird inside, which was tired after trying for so long to escape.
As prison actually disappeared, the bird landed on the ground, returning to her human form.
Amelia's mother laid on the ground, breathing heavily. Her body was covered in sweat. She had also heard Lucifer's conversation with Salazar. She knew how close she was to death.
But mostly, she was shocked at the strength of Lucifer.
She wasn't the only one. There was another girl who had been standing in the farthest corner for a long time, watching everything unfold.
Jenilia hadn't seen this side of Lucifer before. He was actually no less than the peak tier Warlocks of the Warlock Council. In fact, he was only stronger.
She wanted to tell the Warlock Council to not offend Lucifer the first opportunity she could get. Because she knew one thing after spending time with Lucifer.. It was that offending this guy was the biggest mistake someone could make.
