Chapter 810: Goodbye
Lucifer turned mid-air to land safely on the ground.
"As expected, there was something in this barrier. It wasn"t just for show." Lucifer flew back to the barrier.
"I know. I was about to tell you, but you touched it with such haste. The reason the barrier didn"t affect me is because it can"t. I"m the Captain of the Star Alliance, after all. Wouldn"t it be embarra.s.sing if this thing can stop me?" Joana stepped out of the barrier again.
"Don"t see me and think you should do the same. I"m different. You just joined the Star Alliance, so you don"t know." Joana patted the shoulder of Lucifer.
"I forgot that for a moment," Lucifer said, frowning. "I won"t forget again. In any case, now that I know it"s a barrier of this kind, I would much rather destroy the entire barrier instead."
Lucifer raised his hand towards the sky as if calling for the lightning. However, the lightning didn"t fall towards the Warlock Council headquarters.
The lightning bolts fell around Lucifer. Five thick bolts landed before him. The bolts took humanoid shapes, made purely of lightning.
"Fascinating." Joana couldn"t help but smile at the sight.
Lucifer didn"t stop even after making five lightning puppets. He raised his other hand towards the sky as well.
He slowly clenched his fist towards the dark sky. The cracking thunder intensified as the lightning bolts came out of the clouds. The bolts didn"t fall even now.
Instead, they remained right under the Cloud and started merging with themselves.
Thousands of small lightning bolts combined into one big bolt that was fifty feet wide and hundreds of feet long.
The pitch black lightning bolt started changing shape from one end, which became thicker and split into three sharp ends. The other end remained the same, instead only getting thinner.
"It looks like the Trident of Poseidon in our stories. Not bad," Joana gazed at the lightning trident in the sky.
"They played enough. It"s my turn now. Let"s have some fun." A voice filled with anger spread far and wide.
Lucifer didn"t even realize as he used his ultrasonic voice as he talked. His words fell in the ears of each and every person in the city.
His words also reached the Warlock Council headquarters.
A young man was standing on top of the Warlock Council headquarters. A Sword was in his hand, which was still inside its sharp-edged sheath.
The man had a slightly surprised look on his face as he looked at the ma.s.sive trident in the sky, which was filled with terrifying destructive energy.
Just as he was thinking about something, he heard the words of Lucifer.
"You want to play, do you? Let"s play then," the man muttered.
He raised his left hand and pressed a b.u.t.ton on his watch. After speaking a few words, he lowered his hand.
"I don"t know if this Trident is strong enough to affect the barrier, but it"ll be boring to just sit and watch. Let"s make things more interesting."
The man stepped towards the edge of the building and looked down at Lucifer.
Lucifer was already looking up at the trident as he spoke. As he lowered his gaze, his eyes fell on the figure who was standing on the top of the roof.
Lucifer"s gaze met the gaze of Jian. Both of them locked eyes. One pair of eyes looked like they were filled with so much anger that they wanted to destroy everything. On the other hand, the other pair of eyes seemed like they were in a teasing mood and not intimidated at all.
The trident became even bigger as more and more lightning bolts joined it. The sky didn"t run out of listening. The roaring of the clouds was the only sound that could be heard as everyone else was completely silent.
Even the rain didn"t dare to come down to interfere. The slight chilly atmosphere was getting even colder though.
"So he"s the person. For some reason, he doesn"t look concerned. Very interesting." Joana chuckled lightly. "I think it"ll be fun."
Lucifer slowly started twisting his left hand. The trident also started turning as it slowly took aim in the direction of the man who stood on the roof.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment as both the men stood still. The roaring of clouds continued. The trident waited to fall. It was like the moment before a tsunami. Everyone knew that something big was going to happen.
People had already gone inside their houses, hiding. There were only three people who were still standing outside: Jian, Joana, and Lucifer.
Far away on the Star Alliance Ship, even the Star Alliance members were looking at what was happening. For some reason, they were able to see clearly, even through all the dark clouds.
"Goodbye..." Lucifer broke the silence, speaking the first word. He clenched his fist tightly, preparing to attack with the Trident.
Jian also widened his smile as he raised his hand towards the back.
Another man came forward, entering Lucifer"s view on the roof. The man was carrying a body in his hand.
The body of the beautiful woman didn"t have a single wound on her body, yet her clothes were covered in blood. She seemed like she was sleeping peacefully. Even from the distance, Lucifer could feel her chest moving as she breathed.
Jian spread his arms wide open. It was finally his turn to speak.
"Lucifer Azarel!" He spoke out loud. Even his voice seemed to reach Lucifer easily.
"I won"t let you say goodbye so easily. We are just starting, after all. How can I let someone special die so easily?"
"You want to play with hostages?" Lucifer asked the man as he started rising in the air.
He reached the same elevation as Jian. The only difference was that Jian stood on the roof, and Lucifer stood in the air, on the other side of the barrier.
"Hostage? Just like your parents tried to take me hostage to force my father and then killed him too? That kind of hostage?" Jian asked. "That kind of hostage? I guess you can say I learned from your side."
"Let her go. You"re strong. Face me properly. Why hide behind a woman?"
"Better than hiding behind a kid, right? Though I"m not as cruel as your parents were. I will let her leave as soon as you answer one question of mine."
"What question?"
"Over twenty years ago, some people had infiltrated my home. One of them was someone from Elisium. Another person was your father, and third person was your mother. I won"t ask you why they did it."
"I already gave them the punishment for their actions. However, I have an entirely different question in my mind."
