Chapter 143 - 143: Easy Death
Beta Squad Captain of APF was here with the two doctors. At the moment, he seemed to be looking at his phone, but the phone wasn"t getting any signal.
"Sigh, this is too boring. No one is going to attack this place with the Beta Squad guarding the entrance. I"m only wasting my time here. I hate it so much!" Yale said, however, as soon as he spoke such words, the silence in the room was broken by the constant firing sound outside.
Screams could also be heard coming from outside.
"Looks like I spoke too soon. The two of you, stay here, and don"t you dare step outside. I"ll handle everything!" Yale said firmly as he stood up and ran towards the door.
Pushing the door open, he stepped outside only to be greeted by a grim sight where all the guards were lying dead, and a lightning bolt was coming towards him.
He raised his hand to the front and made a semi-translucent barrier appear before him.
The lightning bolt clashed with the barrier, ultimately disappearing.
"I guess you"re Lucifer, huh. So you did manage to sneak past the front line of defense. Captain Ayn did have some foresight. I was getting upset for no reason," Yale said lazily as he gazed at Lucifer.
Soon, his eyes landed on Caen, who was standing behind Lucifer, still disguised as Xander.
"Xander? Why are you with him?" He asked, surprised. "Wait, your clothes! You"re not Xander, are you?"
"Let me guess, you"re Caen?" he further asked, taking a guess.
"Hahaha, your guess is correct. It seems that I"m a bit famous," Caen said as he burst into laughter.
"Yeah, you"re pretty famous because of this annoying ability of yours. Don"t worry; I"ll make sure that you"re famous in our jail too," Yale answered.
"I don"t think you can. You need to be alive to do that. And with this little guy, around I don"t think you can," Caen said, grinning as soon as Lucifer fired another lightning bolt.
"Hah, this is nothing. My barrier can stop it eas-"
Seeing the next lightning bolt coming towards him, Yale didn"t react because of his arrogance. The first lightning bolt that landed on his barrier couldn"t do anything.
He believed his barrier was superior to Lucifer"s lightning because of his inefficiency, and that complacency was keeping him grim seeing the reality.
"Huh?"
He soon realized how wrong he was as soon as the black lightning Bolt hit the barrier.
The barrier which had resisted the first lightning bolt shattered like a gla.s.s in front of this second lightning bolt, and even then, the bolt didn"t stop as it penetrated the skull of Yale, who was still dazed in shock.
The Beta Squad Vice Captain had died so easily, all because of his negligence.
Yale was a Sorcerer with two abilities. One of which was his main one which was his strongest and an attack-type ability. As for his second one, it was this barrier that was his defensive ability.
As he had come out of the room, he couldn"t dodge the sudden lightning attack, so he subconsciously used his barrier, and the success of his barrier proved to be deadly for him.
According to what he had heard, Lucifer only had one long-range ability. As for Caen, he had no long-range ability.
Believing him to be safe since no long range ability was here to harm him and break his barrier, he didn"t hurry in attacking, giving Lucifer a chance to kill him.
He didn"t realize that the only reason his barrier was looking so invincible against Lucifer"s lightning last time was because Lucifer was only using a fraction of his powers since he was facing humans.
He had attacked Yale, thinking that he was a human too. The lightning bolts were weak because of that. As soon as Lucifer saw that it was a Variant, his Second Lightning Bolt came like a wrecking ball, shattering the beliefs of Yale.
The strongest lightning bolt, which even pa.s.sed through the Cardigan Particles, easily shattered the barrier, taking out the last strong enemy, making the clash a bit anticlimactic.
"I told you in advance, with the little guy around, you were going to have a hard time staying alive. Underestimating him is the worst thing you could have done," Caen said as he watched the dead body of Yale.
" I"m surprised you guys didn"t learn any lessons from all the APF members that were killed by him."
"Or is it that because you"re from the Beta Squad, you underestimated Delta Squad members, thinking that their death meant they were weak, not that Lucifer was strong? Whatever, I guess it"s better for us the more you underestimate him," he added before he smiled.
"By the time you people realize your mistakes, we would have made him one of the Strongest Warlocks this world had ever seen," he thought as he followed after Lucifer, who had started walking towards the office of Doctor Rao.
...
"The enemy is right outside, but I can hear no sound anymore. Did this man kill them? Or was he killed instead. If he is dead, we are going to die soon." Doctor Layman said, concerned as he kept staring at the door.
Even Doctor Rao seemed a bit worried this time. If the enemy had killed the guards so easily and if he still survived, he was certainly a Variant. Their life was indeed in danger.
He opened the drawer of his table and picked up a gun that was kept inside before he started waiting as he raised the gun and aimed it towards the door.
Lucifer turned the doork.n.o.b as he opened the door slowly. Finally, he was here. Finally he was going to see the face that was smiling as Lucifer died. Finally, he was going to be finished with his revenge.
Opening the door, Lucifer stepped inside. Caen also entered behind him.
Even though Caen was behind Lucifer, to Doctor Rao, it seemed like Xander.
