Chapter 760
Even though he thought that Lucifer was arrogant, his vision didn't sound wrong. His path was more violent, but on the crux of this goal, there was just a kid who didn't want to suffer again—a kid who didn't want to live in fear.
He didn't know why, but now that he looked at Lucifer, he seemed... different.
Lucifer was bathing in the beautiful moonlight, looking more like a human than he looked like a terrifying Warrior.
His beautiful silver hair looked even shinier. His blood-covered figure didn't look odd.
"May I ask why you're looking at me like that?" Lucifer asked, noticing the dazed look on Alexi.
"Ah, nothing. I was lost in some thought. It's nothing."
"Give me your phone."
"What? Why?"
"I need to talk to someone."
"Ah, fine. Not like my phone has any secrets."
Alexi tossed his phone towards Lucifer.
Lucifer held the phone with one hand, giving Xaen to Alexi.
"He will sleep for a few hours. Hold him until then."
As he finished speaking, he dialed a number and placed a call to Kellian.
Kellian was going hysterical since they couldn't contact Lucifer. They had found a flaw in the energy core of the Limiter, but they had no way to tell him.
"The glasses must be crushed. We can't do anything. Everything is on Lucifer to figure it out." Kellian looked at the black screen in frustration. There was no signal.
As he was lost in thought, his phone started ringing. The unknown number was something he hadn't seen before.
Wondering who was calling, he picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Kellian, I am almost done here. Keep the base ready and bring another set of Battle Gear and Gloves. I'll be coming back in a few days."
"You're done?"
"Almost. Just minor things left. Is Milena there already?"
"Not yet. She's still on the way."
"Tell me when she's there. You can contact me on this number."
"You don't need to be on a call continuously now?"
"I don't. It seems that isn't needed now. I don't understand what this mess is, but that didn't affect me when my glasses were broken. So I don't know what it is, but I think I'll be fine without calls. If I need to, I'll do it again."
"Keep me updated and make sure the Battle Gear and the glasses are ready when I get there. Something different this time. Something that does suit me on the mission I'm about to go."
"You mean suitable to enter Dungeon? It's already in the process. It'll be here by the time you get back."
Lucifer nodded. He disconnected the call.
Alexi raised his hand to take back the phone, but Lucifer ignored him and kept the phone in his pocket.
Smiling wryly, Alexi retracted his hand as if nothing happened.
"Where are we going now?" Alexi asked.
"You'll tell me that. Where can we find a shop which sells drugs?"
"Drugs? Why do you need drugs?"
"Not for me," Lucifer responded. "I need some for other reasons. Just tell me what I ask."
"There should be one shop in that direction. The biggest drug store. It has high security, but I doubt that would be a problem for you."
Winds started circling around Lucifer, making his body rise in the air.
This time Lucifer didn't use his wind on Alexi since he could already fly on his own.
Alexi followed Lucifer, guiding him towards the store.
In the back, Mirali stepped out of the factory. She watched Lucifer and Alexi leave silently.
....
Kellian had just put the phone down and returned to his work, not knowing that there was trouble at the door.
Milena was going to arrive later, but trouble had already arrived. The Warlock Council heads were standing right outside the Capital City.
They landed in the closest city since entry into the capital wasn't allowed. They flew the rest of the way, keeping themselves hidden until they finally reached a massive building.
"This is a drug store?" Lucifer asked, making sure.
"It is. It's the biggest one we have. It's no less than a mall. No matter which drug or medicine you need, it's available here, but since it's a place like that, there are some security measures in place."
"We can go in together, or I can go by myself, which will be easier. Just tell me the drugs that you need?"
"You go alone then. Give Xaen to me. I'll wait here."
He took Xaen and told the names of everything that he needed.
Hearing the items, Alexi looked at Lucifer, surprised. "Why do you need all that?"
"Just get what I asked."
"Fine."
Alexi flew closer to the mall, landing before the guards. The guards instantly recognized him.
"Sir Alexi. Greetings. May I know the purpose of your visit. Do you need something?"
"As you might know already, our city is in danger, and I need some items to help them. Amongst those items, there are some rare drugs that I can only find here. I'm in a hurry, so step aside."
"Sir, we need to inform others before letting you in, but since it's you, I think we can skip that step for now. Please come with me. I'll escort you inside."
Alexi followed the man inside. The man helped Alexi pass through all the defense and brought him inside the main chamber.
He was surprised when Alexi told him the names of the drugs that he needed but thinking it was for a mission, he agreed. He helped Alexi find those drugs.
The search didn't even last for a half an hour before all the items were found. The man gave a bag to Alexi and even escorted him outside.
"Thank you for the help."
Waving at the guard, Alexi flew away.
...
Standing in the air, observing the building, Lucifer was lost in thought. He had many problems that he needed to solve, but at the moment, his mind was only on one thing.
He was regretting evolving the ability of Time. He had wasted all the other abilities to evolve Time, only to create one more problem for himself. This was very annoying. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.
It was as if he had wasted all the effort he had put in collecting all the abilities for this sacrifice.
As he was lost in thought, he felt a presence in the air.
A strange energy had filled the air. He looked up, noticing a bright blue barrier that had surrounded him.
"Finally, we found you."
