Chapter 845: Coming out
Hearing about what was going to happen, Milena didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t just stop the other Lucifer if it meant it was going to put his father at risk. But she couldn’t bring his father out of the crystal either if they really weren’t alive since that could put them at risk.
She needed to consult Lucifer about it, but she didn’t have time for it. One Lucifer was engaged in a battle so she could sneak inside. He didn’t have time to talk. It was time for her to make a decision.
“We need to stop him at any cost!” Ultimately, she decided to stop Lucifer. She had her reasons for it though. She wanted her Lucifer to be the one to make the decisions if the Dungeon were to be opened. She didn’t want someone else to make the decision for him. So she needed to delay the other Lucifer as much as she could.
“Do you know where they went?” she asked Salazar.
Salazar shook his head. “They just disappeared. I don’t even know where we are, let alone know where they went. They could be anywhere in the Dungeon at the moment.”
He didn’t leave Milena disappointed though as he further added, ” However, if I were to take a guess, I think they went to the Dungeon Core. If they want to destroy the Dungeon, they would have an easier time starting from there.”
“Where is the Dungeon Core?” Milena muttered, frowning. “We don’t even know if that’s in this massive space or somewhere else.’
“I might be able to help,” Yaliza chimed in.
“Tell then! We don’t have much time!” Milena exclaimed.
“First, I want to know why you’re trying to stop Lucifer. If he has already decided to open the Dungeon, why are you trying to stop him? Also, do you not know that we’re also trapped here?”
“Because the person you saw wasn’t Lucifer,” Milena explained. “The real Lucifer is outside, still fighting the Dungeon! That’s why we need to stop this fake before something goes wrong!”
“He isn’t the real Lucifer? I had a feeling like that—the way he refused to recognize me and didn’t take our opinions seriously. I had a feeling something was wrong,” Salazar let out, clenching his fist. “But the way he reacted before his parents, that couldn’t have been fake. Are you really sure he isn’t Lucifer?”
“I’m sure of it. I came here with Lucifer, after all. That other person isn’t Lucifer. Even I don’t know who he is exactly, but he isn’t our Lucifer who is still fighting outside to keep people distracted,” Milena replied.
“Now stop wasting time and tell me where the core of the Dungeon might be?” she asked, seemingly in a hurry.
Yaliza stepped out of the mansion with others following behind. “The Core of this Dungeon can’t be here. Because in Higher Ranking Dungeons, the Cores are always in a place where the beasts can’t reach that easily. If the core was here, this giant space couldn’t have been created here. It would’ve been impossible.”
“That can only mean the Dungeon is far away from this place. It should be in the depths of the Dungeon. That’s all I can say since that’s all I know.”
“So that’s why they need Lucifer! They can’t reach the core and need him? That would make sense! It’s also good that the core isn’t here. This space is in their control. It would’ve been hard to have an advantage here. Moreover, on the way out of here, we can also get in contact with Lucifer.”
“Stay close to me though. The Energy Negation field will help you to some extent, helping you move without being discovered. Because if you’re discovered, the Energy Negation might not work for you.”
After warning them, she started flying back where she came from. Along the way, she also helped Salazar and Yaliza fly behind her since none of them could fly on their own.
….
At the other end of the battlefield, the battle was just beginning.
Milen and Loy watched in amusement as Lucifer fought with Licia.
On another side, Jian was still frozen in space. His mind was still working though. He tried to free himself, but he was failing. His Sword gave him immunity from Domains to some extent, but that had failed for him since this place wasn’t exactly a Domain.
He tried to free himself, but without moving his body, he couldn’t use his sword to free himself.
In his head, he kept talking to someone, trying to call someone out. However, he wasn’t getting a response this time.
“Come on, I know I already called you once, but I really need you now! Stop ignoring me! Come out!” He called, but nothing happened.
On another end, Azurel was the only person still inside the lightning prison but not because he couldn’t leave. It was because he was cursing himself for not being able to control Lucifer’s mind. After criticizing himself enough, he focused back on the cage.
The lightning cage that troubled Jestil so much was standing tall, no space in between. However, he didn’t need any space or any help.
Just his aura alone was able to rip the cage to pieces. The cage exploded as lightning cracked all around. Azurel stood tall inside.
He turned to Lucifer in the back, who was already fighting Licia. He wanted to have revenge and fight Lucifer instead, but it was too late. He belonged to Licia now.
He shifted his attention to Jian on the other side. With calm steps, he walked to Jian and placed his hand on Jian’s head.
Since he couldn’t control Lucifer, he was now going to attend to control Jian, who also appeared strong. It was just a way for him to prove to himself that he could control strong Variants.
Moreover, he was attempting to take over Lucifer through a weak link of the shadow. With Jian, he was directly going to take over.
Jian’s eyes turned Pitch plack as soon as Azurel placed his hand on his forehead. Azurel also closed his eyes, focusing on the mind of Jian.
The resistance wasn’t even close to what he faced with Lucifer. In fact, he directly managed to enter the mind of Jian without even the slightest of resistance.
Azurel stood inside the mental domain of Jian, which was the weakest part of a person’s psyche. That’s where the consciousness of Jian was hiding, trying to avoid Azurel.
A small blue flame was floating in the middle of the Mental Domain. That was the consciousness of Jian. Azurel raised his hand towards the small speck of flame. The flame started floating towards Azurel, unable to resist.
