Chapter 732 - 732
Kellian tried to contact Lucifer, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't connect.
He tried to contact Eve as well, but it didn't work either.
He placed Kane on the last of locating the place where the signal was last active to see what might be the case while keeping his focus on the people from Atlantis.
Within a few minutes, Kane contacted Kellian again. "I found him. I am sending you the visuals. I think you should see them."
The screen before Kellian turned on showing a Satellite image of the place where Lucifer was pinned to the ground while three people surrounded him.
"He's caught?" Kellian exclaimed, stunned.
"It seems that way. I don't know how it's possible, though. We can try to send people there to help him, but it would be too late by the time anyone could get there," Kane responded.
Kellian rubbed his forehead, trying to think of a way to help Lucifer. Soon the visuals changed, showing a different scene where a storm of fire covered Lucifer's body.
"I think it's too late. If he had a way, he would've been out by now," Kane said. "You made a mistake by letting him go alone."
...
On the other end of the stream, Lucifer was still on the ground. His body was being burned by fire as he remained unable to move, but Lucifer didn't make any noise.
"He isn't making any noise. Is he already dead?" Mirali asked. She couldn't see Lucifer inside the barrage of flame.
"He should already be dead now. No matter how strong he is, his body is still mortal. It should be turned to ashes by now," Morbius chimed in. "Alexi, you can stop now."
Alexi closed his mouth and landed back on the ground. The fire soon disappeared, clearing the site.
As the fire disappeared, everyone saw only an empty spot on the ground, which seemed scorched. The five arrows were still pinned to the ground, but there was nobody there.
"As I said, not even his ashes are left," Morbius said, shaking his head. "If only we were a little faster, Franci and Yovann wouldn't have been dead."
"Don't blame yourself. Who could've imagined that the kid would suddenly become a psychopath," Mirali said. "Even I didn't expect this for him when we were teaching him. He was so different from what he became."
"That just shows us how fast people can change," Alexi said, sighing. "We should teach morals to the students as well so they don't become like him after growing up."
"Agreed. People like him don't deserve to live amongst us." Another voice chimed in, making everyone stunned.
Morbius turned around towards the voice, only to find a person who was standing just a few inches away from him. He could see the emotionless eyes that were a mixture of two different colors.
"Y-" He couldn't even react to the sudden shock before his neck was grabbed by Lucifer.
Lucifer's hands turned into sharp claws, which easily penetrated the chest plate of Morbius. His claws entered the chest of Morbius.
"Urgh~"
Morbius grunted in pain, but he didn't do anything as his life was in the hands of Lucifer.
"Stop!" Mirali yelled as she created another circle.
This time, two arrows show out.
"Sweet dreams." Lucifer's emotionless voice echoed in Morbius's ears.
Lucifer turned to the arrows that were flying towards him.
"That should be enough." He raised his left hand towards the arrows, snapping his fingers. A lightning wall appeared before him.
The two arrows turned to avoid the wall as if they were clever. They avoided the wall before reaching closer to Lucifer.
Lucifer flashed a smile as he brought Morbius's body before him right before the arrows were about to hit him.
Morbius was still not killed by him; however, the arrows penetrated the body of Morbius, killing him on the spot.
"I deserve death for killing Franci and Yovann. You deserve death for killing Morbius now. It seems we're both fighting for justice at this point," Lucifer told Mirali as he tossed the body of Morbius away.
He started walking towards Mirali. With each step of his, a lightning bolt fell above Mirali, who struggled to avoid the bolts coming from the sky.
Lucifer kept walking towards Mirali as if his feet were in complete sync with the bolts.
Mirali couldn't fly, so she struggled even more to avoid the bolts.
Swiss~
Fortunately, Alexi swept in. He held Mirali by her waist as he flew away, avoiding all the bolts the best he could.
"We can't face him alone. There are just too many unknown things about him, it seems. We need to get out of here and make a better plan!" Alexi told Mirali, occasionally looking back at Lucifer, who was standing on his usual spot now. He wasn't following them.
"Three of us were killed by one man who used to study under him. Can we even defeat him?" Mirali asked, a bit shaken after what had happened.
"I believe we can. You want to know why?"
"Why?"
"Because he's not the person we taught. He's physically the same, but mentally he is different. That means he doesn't take our teaching seriously. He's corrupt now and forgot what we taught him."
"I taught him that a person should never be too confident in their strength, and it's not embarrassing to run away when we're in danger. He forgot both. He isn't giving with his head; instead, he's thinking with his strength."
"People like him are the hardest to defeat face to face, but the same rigid people can fall under the Art of Tricks."
"It would've been harder to plan against him if he was our same old student who remembered what we taught him while possessing all this strength, but that's not the case with him!"
"I think we can take advantage of this. But we'll need the help of Xaen and others. We can't do it alone!" Alexi told Mirali as he kept zooming away.
Before long, he disappeared from Lucifer's site, who didn't follow them.
Lucifer just watched the two of them run, letting them live intentionally.
"Run... Run straight to Xaen..." he muttered. "Let me see where that guy is hiding."
Even though he wasn't following them, looking like an arrogant person, a shadow of him was still following Mirali and Alexi.
The two of them were like rats that he left to find their master.
He turned towards the academy, observing his hand. His left gloves were destroyed completely, along with his right ones. His hands were completely bare.
Fortunately, his clothes were still intact.
He patted his chest with the back of his hand, shaking his head. "Destroyed."
He could feel the crushed pieces of the glasses in his pocket.
