Chapter 720 - 720
Lucifer stopped hiding his real looks. He didn't care anymore. It was clear that Xaen already knew they were here. That's why he set the trap at the house of his Grandpa.
The villagers said that his Grandpa didn't return for a long time. And Eve couldn't have blown herself up. Someone who could do something like this while avoiding Eve's Adaptation was only one person. It was Xaen.
Lucifer had no doubt that he was behind it. Moreover, Xaen was the only person who could leave the house right before the explosion without being seen.
Xaen wanted to make the fight personal; Lucifer was prepared as well.
That night, Lucifer kept flying at the speed of a middle. Not many people were walking on the streets at night, but the ones that were walking only saw a figure flash past them in the sky. Rain followed wherever Lucifer passed through as if it was trying to catch up to Lucifer.
Before long, Lucifer reached the bank of the sea where he had seen Grandpa Chi last time. It was on the way. He didn't waste even a second at the place and continued flying.
Soon, he reached the village and landed before the remnant of his house. Most of the rubble was already cleared by the villagers. Still, some were left.
Finally, the rain caught up to him, showering the entire village.
The droplets of water trickled down his face, sometimes making it seem like they were tears. However, Lucifer's expressions weren't of someone who was crying. His face appeared calm, but his eyes were filled with flames.
...
The phone of Xaen once again started ringing.
"Yeah?"
"S-sir, I have eyes on the target. He is here! He is in the village! He's standing where his house used to be!"
"Are you sure it's him?" Xaen asked.
"Urgh."
Instead of a reply, Xaen heard a grunt.
"Hello? Are you there?" Xaen asked. "Confirm if it's Lucifer!"
"It's Lucifer indeed," Came a reply. But the voice was different this time. Xaen knew it wasn't the voice of his man. He also knew who the voice belonged to.
Back in the village, Lucifer was standing inside one of the houses which had a clear view of his house. As the man's body was lying on his feet. His head was crushed brutally. Even the walls were covered in blood.
Lucifer gazed out the window with a phone in his hands.
"Lucifer, so you're truly here," Xaen said, smiling.
"Man, if you were really here, why did you send that woman before? The poor girl died for no reason. It even made me waste one trap. That's not nice, you know?"
Lucifer once again went silent momentarily. It was basically a confirmation that Eve was actually the one killed.
"What happened? Why did you go silent? Don't tell me you're feeling bad or something?" Xaen taunted Lucifer once again.
"You and I, we are eternal. I can't grow old, and you can't die. We'll both live longer than others. The death of loved ones will be a plain sight for us in any case. Well, at least that'll be the case for me since you'll be dying soon. Aren't I right?" he further asked, smirking.
"Why don't you make that a reality? Come and kill me?" Lucifer asked. "Come here. I'm waiting for you."
"Coming to you? No thanks. I'm not in the mood yet. I just killed one person today. That's enough for me. Maybe tomorrow," Xaen replied. "Treat this day as my gift to you. One more day for you to live.'
After finishing, Xaen disconnected the call.
....
Lucifer looked at the number that was used by Xaen just now.
He wore glasses. "Contact Kellian."
"Kellian, I'm sending you a number. Trace the number and tell me where it is."
He sent the number to Kellian before he left the house.
He took a deep breath as if preparing for something.
"Wake up!" He yelled out loud, using his sonic voice.
The yell was so loud that it woke up even the ones who were heavy sleepers.
Everyone left their homes to check what it was.
"Lucifer, is that you?" One of the men noticed Lucifer before the house. Everyone walked to him, but as soon as they saw his face, they stopped in their tracks. They didn't know what it was, but they didn't have the courage to walk close to Lucifer for some reason.
"Where is the girl?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"What?"
"The girl whose body you found in the rubble? Where is she?" Lucifer repeated the question.
"Oh, you meant that girl. Her body was taken to the hospital. It should still be there."
"Which hospital?"
"Maximus Hospital. Why do you want t-"
As soon as Lucifer received his answer, he flew away, not even letting everyone finish their words.
Within ten minutes, he reached the hospital that was closest to the village.
He landed at the entrance of the village.
Without being stopped, he stepped inside the hospital. He walked to the man at the reception.
"How may I help you today?"
"I'm looking for a girl whose body was brought here today. She has violet hair and violet eyes. She's eighteen years old, and she was in an explosion. Where is she?"
"Ah, you mean that lady? Her body was badly burnt. She wasn't breathing either. She arrived dead here."
"Where is she?"
"She's in the morgue on the second floor. But you can't see it in the night. You'll have to wait for the morning if you want to see the body. Those are the rules..."
"I make the rules here." Lucifer picked up the desk and tossed it away before he grabbed the man by his throat.
"Tell me where?"
Seeing Lucifer misbehaving, the guard ran to Lucifer, only to drop on the ground while his throat bled. No one even saw what sliced his neck.
"Next will be your neck. I'm not in the mood to play around!" Lucifer warned the receptionist.
"T-that way!" The receptionist lost his entire courage. He escorted Lucifer wherever he wanted to go. He took Lucifer to the morgue, which was closed.
"I don't have the key. That's why I said you'll need to wait till the morning," The receptionist explained as soon as he reached the morgue, knowing that Lucifer was going to ask for the key.
He was soon proven wrong though. Lucifer didn't ask for the key. Instead, he kicked the door open. The door broke off and flew far away, landing in the middle of the room.
Lucifer tossed the man inside the room. "Which is her body?"
