Chapter 123 - 123: Weakness Of Varant

"Yeah. That guy isn't invincible." One variant shared his opinion with them.

"Raia, do you know what his limitation could be?" The dark-haired variant asked Raia curiously.

"I do know a bit. And I already told you. As long as you let him get close to you, you're gone. During close combat, you are surely at disadvantage so never let him get close while fighting him. As much as possible keep your distance from him." Raia said, giving them tips when fighting Varant.

"Anyway, I'll be facing him if he ever comes. So you don't have to bother. Just make sure that other pests don't annoy me. I don't want others getting in my way once I fight Varant," Raia reminded them as he lazily closed his eyes.

The other variants just nodded their heads, keeping his words in mind. They didn't disturb Raia anymore.

The helicopter kept flying in the empty sky, moving towards the city of Elantra which was an important city in Elysium. It was the place where most of the servers were placed and also the place with most of the news stations could be found.

Attacking this city would give them a lot of advantages once they succeeded. Taking out Elantra meant taking out the information hub of the Elysium.

Meanwhile, in their main headquarters, Lucifer and others were preparing to leave.

"Not there, in this one. You're coming with me. We'll move in the back!"

Lucifer was about to step inside a helicopter behind Vega when he heard Caen's voice.

"Hmm?" He turned back, feeling a little bit confused. "What did they mean by that?" Lucifer mumbled.

"You and I will move separately and land directly over the facility. As for the others, they will go ahead and destroy the defenses around the facility so we can easily land," Caen explained to Lucifer.

Hearing Caen's words, Vega turned back and nodded his head.

"That's right. Accompany him. We are sure some of our guests will be waiting for us there. So we will be ahead of you to make some adjustments on the ground. You'll get there after we engage in action. We will create a clear path for you."

He reached out his hand to give Lucifer a light pat on his shoulder. However, Lucifer once again took a step back, creating a distance between them.

It had been quite some time and he still wasn't ready to let anyone touch him.

Vega didn't mind Lucifer's reaction. He understood that it was going to take more time before Lucifer could ease up and be comfortable with them. He just hoped that after this mission, things were going to improve.

Turning back, Vega entered the helicopter. Only after entering did he look back at Lucifer and said, "Best of Luck. Today, your revenge will be over. I look forward to the future," he said before he settled down on his seat.

"Come."

Caen again called Lucifer who obediently listened and followed him to a different helicopter that was waiting for them in the back.

Vega's helicopter was the first one to take off. His team members were already sitting inside in advance. As for Lucifer, they weren't delayed either.

After the first helicopter took off, the second one also started rising in the air. It was the one in which Dion was sitting with his team.

The third helicopter was housing Isona which also took off.

The last helicopter which housed Lucifer contained Caen and his team.

Their team wasn't going to be part of the frontline army that would engage in the main battle. They were only tasked to accompany Lucifer and help him from the sideline. Also, Caen had another purpose.

It was to keep an eye on Lucifer and not lose him so that they could get out on time after they finished the mission.

After some time, Caen's helicopter also started rising in the air and left the base. After a few minutes of waiting, finally, they came out of the underground base, following the other helicopters behind.

Once again, Lucifer could see the deserted land where the base was located. He didn't know where this place was or what this location was called but he seemingly didn't care either.

In any case, he was going to come back with these people if he wanted to be here.

Caen gazed at Lucifer to see the expressions on the boy's face. He could see him calmly looking outside as if appreciating the site outside nature.

There was a serene look on his face and his long hair made him seem even more mature. He still hadn't tied his hair or cut them short despite the suggestion from Isona previously.

Even though Lucifer seemed calm on the outside, on the inside, he was in turmoil. Caen was sure that this guy was having mixed emotions since he was finally going to get what he lived for.

It was just a matter of time and the Doctor who made him feel so helpless last time was going to be at his mercy. This was certainly a bit nerve-wracking for anyone.

He could also see Lucifer's fist clenched hard.

"Can't wait to crush his throat?" Caen asked Lucifer, smiling.

Lucifer reacted with a gentle shake of his hand. He didn't even bother looking back.

"You know, I went through something similar before as well. But the one I killed was my own uncle. And I can certainly say that it felt good to do it. I just hated that he lasted for such a short duration before breaking," Caen said, reminiscing about his past.

His words intrigued Lucifer who couldn't help but look back. Killing his own uncle? Why?

After hearing those words from Caen, lots of questions started running in his mind right now. He was so tempted to ask him further.

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d deserved to die even a more painful death. A quick death was a mercy to him. I wish I could kill him again and again," Caen further said.

Not being able to control his curiosity, Lucifer finally asked, "What had he done?"

Hearing the question, a deep sigh escaped Caen's lips. A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he looked towards the window.

"That man took everything from me. He took all the light from my life, making it dark entirely," he replied, gritting his teeth.

"What did he do?" Lucifer asked again, not understanding what he meant.

"He killed my father who was his brother. As for my mother, he..."

Caen paused as he couldn't utter the next words. He was having a hard time as he recalled that painful memory.

"Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy your revenge a lot," he said, ending the conversation about his past.

Lucifer heard his words and felt like something surely happened to his mother that he didn't wish to talk about.

Lucifer could somehow understand his feelings so he decided not to ask him further.

...

Dilion Research Facility~ A facility which was one of the many facilities that were under the control of the government but this single facility was in the center of a big commotion.

The highest authorities of the government had received a disturbing message about the facility which was forcing them to take action, at least to keep the illusion that they were serious about this.
