Chapter 814: Captain Lucifer
"What happened here?" Lucifer asked, stunned at the situation.
He didn't know where he was, but it was clear that he had hurt Joana. As for why he did that, even he didn't know.
Joana was already extremely weak. His eyes had already started getting blurry from all the blood loss.
He couldn't even see Lucifer clearly anymore. His eyes started closing as his body lost.
"I hope you die..." He softly muttered as he finally dropped to the ground.
"What actually happened here?"
Lucifer was still confused about what the situation was. He didn't understand the situation one bit.
"Joana, are you alive? Answer me! What happened here! Why did I do it?"
He kept asking the questions but he didn't receive any answers.
He looked into his surroundings, trying to find any clues he could.
He was still in the attire of the Star Alliance but there was now a one star symbol on his chest. He also had beautiful white Gloves on his hand.
The gloves felt to be of better quality than he was used to wearing. They were not only thinner but they were also more comfortable.
The sword he held was different though. He didn't know where he got this sword from but it felt really sharp.
The entire room was a mess, tables and chairs were broken. There were marks of battle even on the wall. However, the damage was contained.
The House was still intact which made Lucifer believe that they probably didn't go all out before the battle ended.
Near a broken table, he noticed a small photo Frame that was lying upside down.
Lucifer walked to the photo frame and picked it up, turning it upside down.
As he turned the photo frame, he noticed a picture. The glass above the picture was cracked. Through the cracks, he could still see the picture.
The picture belonged to Joana. He was standing with a little girl who appeared to have similar features to Joana. On the other side of the girl, another man was standing who was none other than Lucifer himself.
Even though he looked slightly older in the picture, he could recognize him. The oddest thing in the picture that he discovered was that there was a smile on his face.
Lucifer let out a long breath as he kept the photo frame back.
"I still don't understand why I would do it." He scratched the back of his head.
He walked to the door, trying to check another room.
Beep~
Beep~
Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard a beeping sound.
"Hmm?"
He turned back and tried to locate the source of the sound.
Following the sound, he ended up in the corner of the room. The nose was coming from under the bed that was broken.
He picked up the bed and tossed it aside.
There was a small black box under the table. He picked up the box.
"The communication device? Joana had something like this. It must've fallen under the bed when the battle started. I hope he didn't inform the others about this before losing the device."
Lucifer tapped the top of the small cube.
"Joana, finally you pick up! Where are you?! Everyone is waiting for you!"
Lucifer recognized the voice.
"Maya?" he asked.
The voice was the same as to what he heard in the ship previously. It was the second in command of the Ship of Joana.
"Lucifer? Is that you? Where is Joana? Are you two together? Can you tell him to hurry up? He isn't picking up. We just got a new mission and we need to leave soon. Tell him to come to the departure strip as soon as he could."
Lucifer glanced at the dead Joana. "Ah, yes. I'll tell him. Don't worry."
"Good. I'm so glad you're there. I wish he was as punctual as you. Anyway, I need to prepare a lot for departure. I'll be going. Don't forget to tell him to come. We already have plenty of demerit points. I don't want us to accumulate more."
"Got it."
Lucifer tapped the top of the cube. With a beeping sound, the call stopped.
Lucifer tossed the cube down.
"I'm sorry for what I did, but I'm sure I must've had a reason. I can't afford to regret what I did. I hope I'll soon know why I did it, but first I need to clear the site."
Lucifer clapped his hands.
His shadows came out from the ground and swallowed all the materials that were in the room, including the body of Joana.
The marks on the wall were still there. He couldn't do anything about them.
Using his wind blades, he scratched the entire wall to make sure it didn't look like a battle took place here but looked more like an artistic design.
Clearing all the evidence, he stepped out of the room.
Leaving through the room, he ended up before the stairs that went down.
Taking the stairs, he left the building.
He stepped out of the house and observed his surroundings. There were some people walking nearby who noticed him leaving. However, he didn't pay them heed as he left. He couldn't kill them all in this place. There were lots of cameras all around after all.
He noticed a car standing before him that had a Star Alliance insignia. The car also had the same number that his uniform had.
"Is that Joana's car?" he stepped closer to the car and checked his pockets. He didn't have any keys which made him believe it was Joana's car. However, as soon as he reached closer to the car, the car unlocked on its own. The door opened for Lucifer.
"Hmm?"
Lucifer stepped inside the car. As soon as he sat, the door closed.
"Greetings, Captain Lucifer. Starting the engines. Please have a safe trip ahead."
"This car... I don't even know how to drive it," Lucifer muttered, frowning.
The car did have a steering wheel like the cars in his world used to have, but there were just too many buttons and some things were missing that he was used to.
"Can you tell me what all these buttons do?" Lucifer asked, taking a shot in the dark. He was sure there was an assistant here, but he wasn't sure if the assistant was going to answer this question.
"I would be happy to explain."
The assistant became active. The first button lit up and the assistant started explaining about it. One after another, more buttons kept lighting up and the assistant kept explaining.
Still in the midst of explanation, Lucifer noticed another Star Alliance car stop before him.
