Chapter 1044 1044
The room fell into complete silence, shock evident on everyone"s faces. The Star Alliance Leader"s expression turned pale as he realized the gravity of the situation. He was the only person who had seen Lucifer in the past.
This young man, holding the severed head of another young man, exuded an aura of power and darkness that sent chills down the spines of many present, especially the Star Alliance Members.
The Star Alliance Leader glared at the General who had given them the news that Lucifer had been killed. If looks could kill, the General who had provided this news would"ve already been dead.
Although the members of the Hidden Clan hadn"t met Lucifer before, quite a lot of them understood who this person was.
Once Lucifer had devoured the Dragon King, he had unlocked something inside him. Something that even he himself didn"t understand. His physical traits had changed to some extent, including the color of his eyes.
A strange yet majestic ancient pattern was now visible on his neck, a pattern that he never had before. It was a pattern that almost everyone here recognised as this pattern was the proof of a person belonging to the Ancient Clan.
Moreover, since the pattern on Lucifer"s neck and shoulder was dark, it showed that he had the purest bloodline of the Ancient Clan.
"Is this what you meant by you having killed him?" One of the Hidden Clan Members asked, glaring at the Star Alliance Leader. "Unless I"m blind, he is as alive as he can be."
"Was this a trap set by you? Have you sold us?" Another Clan Head asked, killing intent evident in his eyes as he thought that this banquet was a trap set by the Star Alliance which was now working with Lucifer.
"N-no! I don"t understand myself. How can he be alive?!" The Star Alliance Leader exclaimed, his pupils trembling. Not only was Lucifer alive, but he was in the room with them. This was something he never could"ve expected.
"Turn on the Protective Field in the Palace!" He commanded, hastily coming to his senses.
Since he thought that Lucifer was dead, none of the safety mechanisms in the Palace were active yet.
As soon as his commands were issued, it was as if the entire world was put under a lockdown.
Every corner of the palace was flooded with a pulsating force field, sealing off any possible escape.
The Star Alliance Leader turned to his fellow council members, determination gleaming in his eyes.
"We must not let him out of our sight," he declared, his voice filled with a mix of fear and resolve. The council members nodded in agreement, their faces reflecting a tense readiness
Although they didn"t expect Lucifer to be here, but this was also an opportunity to show the might of the Star Alliance in presence of the Hidden Clan Leaders.
The chamber was sealed by a force field while the Star Alliance Generals surrounded Lucifer. The anti-magic gems embedded in their clothes turned on, ready to counter any attack.
The General closest to Lucifer rushed at him. "Coming here was the biggest mistake of your life; this time, you won"t be able to escape!"
This was another General who had taught Lucifer how to use their skills. Lucifer was also friends with his Granddaughter, just like he was with Ron. However, he never could"ve expected that their relations.h.i.+p was going to change to this extent in such a short time.
His sword shone in a freezing blue light as he attacked Lucifer who now stood before him as an enemy.
Lucifer didn"t dodge the attack. He simply remained in his place as he tossed the head of the young man in the direction of the Spatial Clan Leader who had come out from under the rubble.
The Spatial Clan Leader"s lips were bleeding. He hadn"t expected to be attacked when he didn"t expect it. However, as he came out from under the rubble, he saw an object flying towards him.
He subconsciously caught the flying object, only to realize that it was the head of his grandson.
On the other side, the General attacked Lucifer with his frozen sword. In the next moment, the General revealed an expression of shock as his attack was blocked, and by nothing more than Lucifer"s bare hands.
Lucifer grabbed onto the sharp blade of the sword, which failed to pierce his bones. Only Lucifer"s flesh was cut, blood dripping down his palm and only the frozen sword. Still, he revealed no pain.
"Teaching you was the biggest mistake of my life," the old man told Lucifer, as a frozen knife appeared in his other hand which he swung at Lucifer"s throat.
The Knife reached Lucifer"s throat, but as it was only a few inches away, the General"s entire body went weak. His grip loosened as the knife fell to the ground.
The General"s entire hand decayed, turning into a grotesque piece of flesh that soon turned to dust.
"You were a good person, stuck in a bad place," Lucifer"s words fell in the old man"s ears whose vision turned dark, every particle in his body decaying at a rapid pace.
Before long, the old man had completely disappeared, leaving nothing more than dust behind. Only the frozen sword was the proof that he ever existed, the sword that was still covered in Lucifer"s blood.
Lucifer grabbed the hilt of the sword. As soon as he held the sword properly, the sword became even colder while the blue aura around it intensified.
While another General attacked Lucifer, the young man simply disappeared from everyone"s view. He was someone who had a speed comparable to the Dragon King. He only became stronger after devouring the Dragon King.
Even the Hidden Clan Members were barely able to keep an eye on Lucifer. In such a small and sealed place, they also felt uncomfortable fighting Lucifer as they couldn"t use their strength to the fullest.
The Head of the Generals kept falling to the ground, one after another. This place had become a hunting ground for Lucifer.
It was only now that the Star Alliance Leader realized that he had made a mistake. By sealing this place, it wasn"t that Lucifer was trapped here with them. Instead, they were trapped here with Lucifer who was truly in his element in such a closed s.p.a.ce.
