Chapter 961 961: The Final Strike

Hun's father delivered the message, word to word. He didn't leave anything behind.

"Is that all he said?" Kellan asked. There were only two things that were conveyed in the message. First was that he was safe, and there was nothing to worry about. And the second thing was to ask his mother to summon Amelia as soon as possible.

In the message, it still wasn't clear if and when Lucifer was going to return.

"That's all he said to us," Hun's father confirmed. Now that he had delivered the message, he could finally relax."

"Alright. Just stay where you are. We'll bring you to us soon."

Kellian disconnected the call before leaving his office. Now that he had Lucifer's message, he wanted to deliver it personally to his parents.

Ever since Lucifer was taken away by the Star Alliance, he had to lie to Lucifer's parents about their son's whereabouts. He didn't even know previously if Lucifer was actually safe or not. However, now that he knew, he could handle the situation much better.

****

After three more hours, Lucifer finally managed to bring the entire town to ruins. Not a single structure was left standing... None except two: the house where Amelia and Deon's family were waiting for the Portal and the Royal Palace.

"Hmm? It seems the message reached her. That was fast..."

Just as Lucifer was about to attack, he sensed some Spatial disturbance in his surroundings. He could feel that it was coming from the mansion where Amelia was present.

It was clear what this Spatial disturbance was.

A beautiful Summoning Circle appeared in the hall in the middle of the room. The Summoning Circle was quite big in itself, but I was still smaller than the Summoning Circle that Lucifer had managed to make.

Once the circle appeared around Amelia, the others also stepped on that Summoning Circle just as they were instructed.

Before long, everyone in the room disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

Finally, the town was completely vacant of anyone that Lucifer wanted to save. He could focus on what was ahead, which was a beautiful castle.

The Royal Castle before him was a beautiful castle, at least by the standard of this World. All the entrances of the castle were made in big sizes so that Beasts of all sizes could enter when the King demanded an audience with them.

There were no buildings near the Royal Castle since no one was allowed to make one nearby. There was only a beautiful garden surrounding the Royal Palace, covered in blue gra.s.s that shone under the moonlight.

"Let's see how long you can hide," Lucifer raised his right hand. So far, he had avoided attacking the Royal Castle. Even as his lightning bolts wrecked through the entire city, not a single one landed on the Royal Castle.

Unfortunately, now that Lucifer was free, he could place his entire focus on the castle ahead. Thousands of black lightning bolts fell from the sky, having only one aim... The Royal Palace.

Inside the Castle, the King of Beasts was still sitting on the throne with his eyes closed. However, he suddenly opened his eyes, holding the hilt of a mysterious sword.

"It's time."

Lucifer expected the castle to be destroyed or at least a barrier to be used that could protect it. That's why he used such a powerful attack. Strangely enough, none of that was the case.

No Barrier was used, and the castle wasn't destroyed either... At least not because of his attacks.

As the lightning fell from the sky, the roof of the castle broke as if another attack hit it first before his attack. Lucifer watched a dark red beam of energy fly straight above as if it was a dragon made of the most destructive energy in the world.

The dark red dragon clashed with the black lightning in the sky. Strangely enough, it not only destroyed all the lightning bolts, but it did so while remaining completely intact itself.

Seeing the powerful attack, even Lucifer was slightly surprised. It wasn't an understatement if he were to say that it was the most powerful attack he had seen in his entire life.

He could also feel that something was really familiar about that destructive energy.

"The strength of death?" he frowned. He hadn't fought the King of Beasts before, so he didn't know everything about the guy, but he was sure of one thing. This attack, it definitely wasn't his own attack. There was no doubt in his head that the King of Beasts took external help.

Not long after that attack, a figure flew out of the Castle through the opening in the roof that was created by that attack.

The middle-aged man stopped in the air, looking at Lucifer. Right behind him, his Ministers also came out, but for some reason, they didn't join the battle; instead, they moved back, as if they were told to just be spectators and nothing more than that.

Noticing Lucifer looking at his ministers in confusion, the King of Beasts spoke, "Don't worry. They don't interfere in our battle today. It's between me and you. No matter which of us is losing, my men won't interfere. Even if you kill me, they won't do anything. That is if you're capable of killing me in the first place."

"That sword," Lucifer felt the same energy that he felt in the attack coming from the Sword in the Beast King's hands.

"You mean this?" The King of Beast raised his sword, showing the sharp blade of the sword. "This is what I'll use to write your death sentence today. Your blood shall be the ink that it needs!"

"That Sword..." As soon as the King of Beasts turned that Sword around, Lucifer noticed the beautiful gem that was attached to that Sword. Wasn't this exactly what he was looking for? The last of the seven stones that were needed to open the portal?"

Now he finally understood why that attack felt Familiar! It was using the energy of the gem. Moreover, this Sword was made by the Warlock Council to use the powers of that gem in battle. Even they didn't know that something like this was going to fall into the hands of someone else so soon.

"No wonder you're so confident." It was finally clear for Lucifer why this guy didn't come out to fight before. He knew the history of these gems and how they were made.

"You let your own people be killed for strength?"

"You killed them. I didn't. I just let you do as you pleased. I am not to blame in the slightest! If there is someone who is a killer, it's you!"

"I definitely won't deny that," Lucifer responded. It wasn't as if he didn't consider himself a killer. He was very self-aware of all that he was doing.

"Now that I have this Sword and it's gained enough strength, not only can I kill you, but I can also kill all your friends! I can also destroy the people above! I'll destroy all your arrogance by sending you all straight to h.e.l.l, all thanks to this sword!"

"What Sword?" Lucifer asked, tilting his head to the side as if he was confused.

"This!" The middle-aged King raised his right hand, only to feel a terrible pain that even made his face go pale.

"My hand!" He roared, realizing that his hand fell off as soon as he raised it! Moreover, there was no Sword in his hand anymore!

Just how was it possible? How did the man before him take the sword without him even finding out about it? And cutting his hands without even moving? His body had an extremely high defense. Even an attack like wind blades couldn't even scratch him even if he didn't use any Barriers!

He was sure that he could even survive the a.s.sault of black lightning with his physical defense alone. Then how? How was this guy able to cut his hand? And where did the sword disappear?

Let alone the King, even the ministers who were watching in the back were stunned. They were watching everything from the beginning, and even they didn't understand what had just happened.

"I-is this the strength of an ordinary warrior that the Star Alliance sent? If one of them is this strong, then what about others that are attacking our world? And what about the ones who stayed above, thinking it wasn't worth them appearing themselves?"

"This Star Alliance... Just what is it?"

The ministers were horrified. After seeing the start of the battle, they had already lost hope of victory. Their King had lost his precious treasure, for which he let millions of lives be sacrificed!

Not only that, but even his defense failed him. If he couldn't face the enemies, how could they? They were much weaker, after all.

With one of his actions, Lucifer had managed to cast fear in all the ministers' hearts.
