Chapter 587 - 587: Farewell
Amelia stood with her mother, looking towards Lucifer, walking back.
'I am sorry... I can't come with you. This is my home. It's where I'll live, and it's where I'll die... Thank you for everything. And best of luck for your future...'
Even Salazar hadn't believed that it would go like this. He wondered if he had made a mistake by pushing Lucifer towards Amelia...
He had thought that it was good if he made Lucifer realize his feelings towards Amelia, but he didn't know that it could also be a disaster like this. He knew he shouldn't have been so optimistic.
Lucifer's lonely yet powerful back could be seen getting distant from all the High Beasts as he stepped closer to Jenilia in the corner. He stepped inside the portal.
"You can release the Time Domain. I don't want to stay here a second longer than I have to," he calmly said to Salazar.
"Ah, right."
Salazar removed the time domain, letting time move at its usual pace.
Lucifer went down on his knees, watching the formation getting bigger and bigger. He needed to wait until the formation was at its fullest to try what he had tried before.
His left fist was still clenched. He hadn't relaxed it even now as he watched the formation getting bigger slowly.
Yui saw Lucifer be rejected by Amelia. She felt really bad seeing him like this.
She took a step towards Lucifer but realized that someone had held her hand.
She looked back, realizing that it was her mother.
Her mother shook her head weakly. "Don't. Forget him and let him go. It's good for everyone."
Yui wanted to go and give Lucifer a big hug and maybe go with him to see this new world since she heard him say that he could send them back. But she was on the edge of the decision.
After seeing her mother stop her, she also realized that maybe it wasn't meant to be. He wasn't even a High Beast after all. They were from two different worlds that could never be together.
She looked back at Amelia, feeling slightly jealous. At one side was the lady who was given everything. She was openly invited by Lucifer to go with him while he promised to take care of her.
At the same time, there was her, who did want to go with him, but she wasn't invited. She couldn't go either. All she could do was watch a disappointing guest leave and hope to forget him.
Even Hun was controlling himself from going to Lucifer since he didn't want to accidentally be transported and leave his parents behind.
If he wasn't concerned about accidentally being transported, he couldn't quickly say bye to Lucifer while giving him a hug.
The formation finally stopped getting bigger after it was two-meter wide in diameter.
"I'm doing it. Keep holding onto each other. We can't her send back to different places," Lucifer reminded that Salazar and Amelia as he opened his fist finally.
He took his right glove and held it in his left hand.
Salazar held Jenilia's hand. He placed his other hand on Lucifer's shoulder. It was so he could hold onto all two of them while at the same time to actually give some support to Lucifer at times like this.
Lucifer took a deep breath before placing his right hand on the ground, decaying the summoning formation. He didn't even bother to look back this time. He didn't want to see the face of anyone from this world.
"Lucifer!"
Suddenly, he heard a shout which made him actually look back. It was Hun who had called for him.
Hun was waving his hand. "Have a safe journey home, my friend! And remember, if you ever come back again, you can always come to our home! You'll always have a friend in the Snow Wolf Clan in the form of me!"
"Safe journey, young man. And best of luck for the future." Hun's father also bid farewell to Lucifer.
Lucifer looked blankly at the Snow Wolf Clan, but he didn't say anything.
A blinding light filled the hall as the formation was affected because of the Decay, just like it was the first time.
As the light stopped, it revealed an empty space. Gon had disappeared. However, he wasn't alone. Lucifer also disappeared with him, and so did his friend.
Only Amelia, her mother, and the Snow Wolf Clan were left behind, along with the body of the Golden Crows and some marks of lightning damage here and there.
In the end, Lucifer didn't bother absorbing the Golden Crows as he didn't care at the moment.
He was gone from the World of Summons. It was unclear if he was ever going to return, but it didn't look like he would want to return even if he had a chance.
Yui freed her hand from her mother and walked straight towards Amelia, who was standing with her mother.
Throughout this time, Amelia was looking at Lucifer, disappointed that he didn't even look at her once before leaving. She wondered if she really hurt him.
Yui stopped before Amelia. She took a deep breath, looking deep into the eyes of Amelia. "I don't care what you do in your personal life. And it didn't concern me at all. But I just wanted to say one thing."
"What?" Amelia asked Yui.
"You made a really big mistake by not going with him. And I hope you won't ever regret it." She sighed before she walked back to her family.
The Snow Wolf Clan left, leaving only Amelia and her mother behind. The marriage was over; Lucifer was gone. That wasn't all. Before leaving, Lucifer had changed the world of Summons forever.
The dynamics of this city were different now. The Thunder Lions were gone. The Golden Rhinos were defensive. The Phoenixes were weak. That only left the Snow Wolf Clan to indirectly be the kings of the city.
...
In an unknown part of the World of Summons, there existed a dark palace.
Inside the Dark Palace, there existed a throne. A dark figure was sitting on the throne. There were two bodies lying under the feet of the dark figure that were severely damaged.
"Did you manage to find out who dared to leave those parasites inside them to control them? Who was trying to defy the natural order of things?" The dark figure asked in a heavy voice.
Of the two bodies which were placed before him, one belonged to a cat while the other belonged to a Dragon.
"We did manage to find some things. And I think you're going to find it very interesting.." Another calm voice filled the room before everything went silent.
