Chapter 67 - 67: Leaving For Trap

Lucifer simply sat there for what seemed like an eternity, unmoving as he closed his eyes. He was like a statue that didn't know what to do. The negativity was swallowing him whole, and he struggled to keep his head calm and his thoughts clear.

...

A few people came out of their Houses after some time but went back again after seeing that Lucifer was still sitting there. They were scared of coming out before him. When even the Red Eagles were useless against him, they were nothing. No one left their house, leaving the entire city dreary and deserted.

As for the Red Eagles Guild Members that had managed to escape before, they went straight to the guild headquarters, hiding.

....

Even though it seemed like an eternity, only twenty minutes had passed since Lucifer sat down in the rain.

He stood up as he wiped the water off his face and moved his hair that was covering his eyes to the back.

He felt better now. Better was an overstatement, though. He felt less lost now, and he could finally think a bit.

He started looking around as if he was trying to find something but the water covering the ground was red, making it difficult to see.

He thought for a little while before he found the spot where he had dropped something important.

He walked up to that spot and started touching the ground to find what he had lost.

After searching for a few minutes, he finally found what he was looking for. He brought his hand out of the water.

He had a glass piece in his hand that was the last remaining piece of the small glass figure of his father, which was broken by the Red Eagles before. It was broken in the fight, and he only had this little piece left now.

As he picked it, he was shocked to see the glass piece turn to dust within the blink of an eye.

He had forgotten that his gloves were destroyed, and he couldn't control his decaying powers. Everything he touched was destroyed, and that same thing happened to the glass piece.

The glass piece turned into dust and slid down his hand, ultimately mixing with the water. He closed his fist to save what he could, but it was futile.

Lucifer watched the remains of the piece slip out of his closed fist, blankly.

He slowly opened his fist only to find out that there was nothing in his hand anymore.

He looked like he was disappointed, but he didn't do anything.

He had already lost so many things, so what if one more was added to the list, he thought as he tried to console himself, but he still felt sad.

He turned back and walked over to a nearby stall that was still intact. There he found a plastic bag. He took a few plastic bags and placed them in his pockets.

After being done here, he went back to the shop where he had changed his clothes last time. Most of his clothes were destroyed, and he didn't want to leave without clothes.

...

He entered the clothes shop again that still had the bodies of the people he had killed here before. Strangely enough, the body of Fray was missing. He didn't think too much about it as he started trying to find clothes for himself.

He soon found another pair of clothes that fit him.

He wrapped the plastic bags around his hand before he started wearing the clothes just to make sure that the clothes weren't destroyed in the process.

After getting dressed, he left the place and continued on his way towards the city's exit.

He had a destination he needed to be at. He didn't want to delay too much. He was still quite some distance away from the place he knew the Research Facility to be at. Now that his mind was again clear, he knew his purpose. It was the destruction of the facility.

...

Lucifer walked through the wet roads of Ikrego city and soon reached the place where he had recently committed a slaughter.

The bodies still looked fresh, but the blood-red water was slightly less red by now because of more and more water mixing with it.

He glanced at the bodies only once before he walked past them and continued towards the exit of Ikrego City.

He continued in the direction of Erygas, which was the next city and the one that was close to the DR Facility, which Lucifer wanted to destroy.

Lucifer had no idea that what he thought to be the truth was a lie. The DRF was not near Erygas City.

The Leader of the APF Delta Team, Xander, had lied to him. The real DRF was in the opposite direction.

Not only Lucifer didn't know that, but he also had no idea as to what was really waiting for him at Erygas.

The entire Delta Team had laid a big trap in the Erygas City for him. The Erygas city was empty of civilians. Only APF Members were there, undercover, waiting for him to arrive.

Not only that, unbeknownst to everyone, a small team from Variant Uprising was also there, with schemes of their own in the mix. They also wanted to find Lucifer and bring him with them to join their organization against the APF.

The Level One Team Leader, who was known as the Shape-Shifting King, was also there in Erygas City, stealthily passing his time.

Lucifer was walking towards the biggest trap that he could ever face. Even though the Red Eagles Guild had strong Variants, they were not trained to fight other Variants. They were mostly trained to fight monsters in dungeons.

As for the APF, finding and destroying Variants who had lost their ways was their entire job. They had all the tools, equipment, and necessary experience they needed. Moreover, they were the best of the best when it came to strength and skills, far ahead of small guilds like the Red Eagles.
