Chapter 558 - 558: Escape

"Little man, are you really trying to stop me in my own city despite not even being from here?" The man with flowy blue hair asked.

"Not at all. You can go anywhere you want. I won't stop you. But I don't want any harm to come inside this house. So tell me what you need. I'll talk to him," Lucifer responded.

"Is that so?" Lynx muttered as he turned around, rubbing his neck.

He looked at the beast that had led him here. "Ro, did you hear what he just said? I need to tell him what I want and wait for him to get me answers."

Laughing, Lynx walked towards Ro. "Amusing, isn't it? I'm being stopped in my own city from meeting a citizen of my own city. And you know why? Because this young man wants to keep the house safe. So, what do you say I should do?"

Ro didn't answer. He himself didn't know what Lynx wanted to do, so it was better to not even answer.

"Oh, I know. How about this?" Lynx turned back and waved his finger casually, making two blue lightning spears come before him. The spears flew towards Lucifer and the house.

Even Lucifer hadn't expected the man to attack so suddenly despite knowing why he was here. He quickly used the barrier that was given to him by Derek, casting it before him.

The two lightning spears clashed with the barrier, shattering them. One of the spears crashed inside the house while another stabbed Lucifer's stomach, leaving a hole in his stomach.

Lucifer looked down, seeing the hole in his stomach. "You shouldn't have done that..."

Lightning started flickering around him as well.

The second lightning spear had entered the house, destroying the walls.

"What?" Salazar was drinking a glass of water when he noticed the wall being damaged and a lightning spear entering. The spear was flying straight towards Gon.

"He can't die!" He spread his arms, casting his domain.

Everything inside his domain slowed down to the extreme, including the lightning spear.

Salazar tossed the glass of water aside before running towards Gon.

As the spear was one meter away from Gon, Salazar reached him, tossing him to the side.

Gon managed to escape the spear, which hit the other wall and continued on its path.

"Are you alright?"

"I-i..." Gon was overwhelmed by the sudden change.

He looked towards the hole in the wall before wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I'll take that as a yes. Jenilia, stay inside and keep him safe. I'll see what's happening outside."

Salazar ran towards the exit, leaving Gon behind, only to hear a loud boom.

He opened the door, finding Lucifer standing in the middle of the road. His fist was still in the air as if he had just punched someone.

In another house right ahead, there was a human-sized hole. A man stepped out of the wall, patting his clothes.

"You're pretty strong, even in your human form. Let's see if that's the case with the real form as well. I didn't want to have to do it, but oh well."

"A High Beast?" Salazar muttered, frowning. "What's happening here?"

"What are you doing outside? Get in and keep Gon safe. I'll handle everything outside," Lucifer responded before he again flew towards Lynx.

Lynx jumped in the sky, and by the time he landed on the ground, he was back into his Thunder Lion form. Electricity flickered around the body of the giant Lion.

"A thunder beast... Better than anything else." Lucifer smirked. Lightning was the least effective against him since he himself possessed some powerful lightning.

Despite that, he didn't use his lightning. Just like lightning was weak against him, it was weak against the Thunder Lion. Moreover, the other skills he had taken were also weaker compared to the lightning, so he preferred brutal strength in this case.

The Thunder Lion opened his mouth wide as he roared before jumping to Lucifer.

"Stop!" A scream came from inside the house.

Salazar turned around, realizing that it was the voice of Jenilia. He spread out his domain before running inside the house.

As he barged inside the house, he saw Jenilia lying on the ground, slowly trying to get up.

A shadow was flying towards Gon, caught in the slowed down time.

"Shadow enemy is a mess," Salazar muttered, frowning. Still, he ran towards Gon and reached him before the shadow could reach him.

He carried Gon on his shoulders before moving back.

He returned time to normal. The shadow missed Gon, returning to his real form, which showed the shadow to be Ro, who had come with Lynx.

"Another one..." Ro muttered, frowning. Two High Beasts stood before him. Generally, he would have been really intimidated with Two High Beasts since he wasn't one himself. That's why he was working for Lynx.

Despite that, he was pretty confident now since he had already interacted with Jenilia. She was so weak that she couldn't even stop him. If that was the level of these High Beasts, they weren't a threat. Lynx was more threatening on the contrary.

....

Lucifer had also heard Jenilia's scream. The scream momentarily distracted him, which was enough for Lynx to claw Lucifer's chest.

Lucifer also brought forth his claws, stabbing them in the chest of the Thunder Lion. "Argh!"

He quickly brought out his claws and jumped back. He could see his claws that were destroyed inside the body of the Thunder Lion.

Lynx's entire body was filled with destructive lightning, which wasn't much harmful to Lucifer on its own, but it was enough to destroy the claws inside his body and the parasite.

His chest healed once again.

The Thunder Lion landed on the ground, calmly walking towards Lucifer. Still, by some odd ability, he split into two Thunder Lions, both having the same looks. Two Thunder Lions turned to four and four to eight. It didn't take long before Lucifer was completely surrounded by the Thunder Lions.

...

"This will hold him back for ten minutes. Get out of here before he gets out." Salazar informed Jenilia as he ran towards the back door.

"Go where?" Jenilia asked, running behind.

Through the back door, Salazar left the small house, entering the back alley.

"Are we really running? How will Lucifer find us?"

"We're not running. We're hiding Gon. They have seen the house. It's unsafe. So I want Gon to hide in a different house and make them feel like Gon ran away!" Salazar explained.

Leaving two houses, he reached the third house and knocked on the door.
