Chapter 818: True Strength

"Lucifer Azarel! This is the last warning I have for you! Place your hands on the ground."

Lucifer let out a deep sigh. He knew fighting wasn't a good option in this situation. He was caught, and he was surrounded from all sides. After a long thought, he decided to surrender instead of fighting.

In any case, he believed he could get out of this place as soon as he was sent back in his real time. He just needed to delay until then. Moreover, his supposed wife, was also the queen. If he could give some nice excuses, he might as well about the punishments.

There was another thing that was working to his advantage. It was that he wasn't the Lucifer of this time.

Even if they could sense his lies, when they asked in the room if he killed Joana, he could easily say no, and it wasn't going to be a lie since he truly didn't kill the guy. It was his future self.

"I'll count to three. You can't blame me then," Lia exclaimed. "Lucifer, don't make us do anything."

"Sigh, fine. I will surrender. But remember, I didn't do it. You got the wrong guy," Lucifer responded as he went down on his knees.

A one star captain sat on his knees before fifteen others.

"Place your hands on the ground!" Lyon exclaimed.

"I'm doing it! Just shut up!" Lucifer rolled his eyes. He placed his hand on the ground.

"Good." Lyon stepped towards Lucifer as soon as he placed his hand on the ground, but he abruptly stopped as he sensed something.

He felt something inside his body. It was as if he was getting weaker. The ground around him also started developing cracks and getting damaged.

He wasn't alone either. Lia and the others also felt they were getting weaker. It was as if something was stealing their energy.

Even Lucifer was stunned. As soon as he touched the ground, he felt like he was getting stronger. All the weakness inside him was gone, and he felt that he was getting even stronger.

"Decay?" Lucifer muttered under his breath.

He found that this feeling was similar to the energy he received when he used decay on people in the past. Looking at the deterioration of the ground, he realized that he was right. It was because of his decay that he was getting this energy.

However, he still didn't understand one thing. How was he getting energy from decay from touching the ground? He remembered touching the ground many times before, but he didn't receive any energy in the past. Why was he getting it now?

"It's his decay! I forgot about that! Everyone! Don't stand on the ground! He's using the ground to suck it dry!" Lyon remembered about Lucifer's decay.

He reminded his men as he flew up as well.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lucifer finally understood where his energy was coming from.

"So I was able to decay them through the ground? Fascinating. Is this the evolved version of Decay?" Lucifer exclaimed, frowning.

"Lucifer, we gave you a chance to surrender, but you showed your true face!" Lyon exclaimed from the sky. "Your attack on us proves your guilt. We wanted to arrest you without fighting, but you don't want it to happen. If you want a battle, then a battle is what you shall get!"

Even though Lyon didn't want to kill Lucifer because of his closeness with the queen, now that he had an excuse, he knew it was the best option now. Everyone here saw that he wasn't the first one to attack. The queen couldn't blame him now.

Moreover, the two star member that he had asked for permission was also going to be happy with him if he killed Lucifer. That man had a crush on the queen since a long time.

However, before he could do anything, Lucifer came into the picture. The queen married him and made him her husband.

Lyon knew if he cleared the path of the Admiral, he was going to be heavily rewarded as well. Moreover, he could also take out a competitor.

Lucifer and everyone here was a One Star member. Soon it was going to be time for promotions, and each decade, only one person was a problem at best. If Lucifer was here, Lyon was sure that the promotion was going to him with the queen's grace.

However, if he took out Lucifer before that, not only could Lucifer not get out of this blame by using his sly tongue and excuses, but he also wasn't going to be available for promotions that were good for him.

'Just my luck. Even when I want to surrender, things fall apart.' Lucifer thought, standing up.

"Look, I didn't intend to attack. It was just-"

Lucifer tried to explain, but before he could finish, he felt something around his throat. It was as if there was a rope that was tightening around his neck. He wasn't able to speak anything.

Another rope tied around both his arms and tried to pull him to the ground.

"Now use your decay, you bastard!" Lyon exclaimed.

Lucifer struggled to free himself, but he failed. Ultimately, he decided to give up. He had tried to be a nice guy enough. Now it was time for him to get back to his old self. If everyone wanted a fight, he was going to give them a fight.

He didn't know what others could do, but he knew what he could do in the past. If those abilities had evolved, he was sure he could find a way out.

The clouds covered the sky once again as Lucifer's eyes turned a little red.

Still entrapped in the rope, Lucifer's body started turning darker. Before anyone could realize what happened, Lucifer turned into a shadow and got out of the ropes.

One Shadow split into hundreds and spread all around the dome. None of the shadows were able to leave the tomb even now though.

"Which one is the real one?" Lia asked, frowning.

Boom~

On one hand, no one knew which of the shadows Lucifer was; on the other hand, the sky was going crazy.

Within the clouds, a pitch black lightning dragon could be seen moving slowly.

Even Lucifer noticed the Dragon, ground stunned. Previously, he could only use bolts in the sky, but now there was even a dragon. He didn't remember being able to call lightning bolts this time. It was as if the Dragon came on his own.

Moreover, he could feel the Dragon in his head. It was different than him feeling connected to the clouds. It was as if the Dragon was a part of his body as well that he could use.
