Chapter 962 962: Accumulation
Fear... It was a strange feeling that the Beasts of the Royal Clan rarely experienced. They were the strongest beings of this world and they could do anything they wanted.
There was no one who could stand up to them or make them feel fear. However fear was what they felt now... A fear like never before.They didn't even feel this kind of fear when their King got angry at them.
Such fear made a chill run down their spines and made them tremble. The enemy who wanted to kill them had already taken the weapon that their King wanted to rely on. Along with the weapon, the man also took one of his hands.
At this point, it was already very evident that they had no chance. They couldn't win, even if they wanted to.
"Yo-" the King of Beasts couldn't believe that all his preparation went down the train. He was furious.
He lowered his head, looking at his other hands. It was the first time in his life that he saw his hand tremble. What was this? Fear? He had never experienced this feeling. There was a person who could make him feel fear? How?!
Realizing that he was also experiencing fear, the King of Beasts was even more angry. Anger clouded his judgment as he rushed ahead to kill Lucifer without thinking anything.
"It's easy to kill people in a large area with lightning, but when it comes to you, it's even easier," Lucifer disappeared right as the King of Beasts reached near him. Within the next second, he appeared behind the King of beasts.
His hand was surrounded by a dark Spatial energy that could slice through even the hardest of defenses like it was nothing. Space was supreme.
"Argh!" The King of Beasts roared in pain as Lucifer's hand penetrated through his hard skin.
Lucifer grabbed the heart of the King of Beasts and pulled it right out before appearing in front of the man.
The King of Beasts was pale, looking at the hole in his chest and his heart in Lucifer's hands.
Right before his eyes, he watched Lucifer crush that heart. The King of Beasts felt his body getting weaker as his vision became darker. He had expected so many outcomes of this battle, but this was not one of them.
He wondered if this could even be called a battle? He was killed before he could even fight back. No, this wasn't a battle! He finally realized... This was a massacre.
His lifeless body fell down, crashing on the ground.
Seeing their King be killed, the other Supreme Beasts understood next was their number. They didn't want to die! They didn't do anything! They knew they had to find a way out!
"My Lord, please have mercy! If you let us live, we promise to become your slaves! You will be our only master and we can do everything you need us to do! You can be our King!" The Ministers stated.
Fear of Lucifer was clearly visible in their eyes.
"You want to work for me?" This proposal wasn't bad in the least. Lucifer knew that these people were strong. If he didn't have his spatial edge, even he would've had a hard time killing them. Their defense and their attack was just in a different league altogether!
He knew that they could definitely help him in battles. In any case, he had already killed so many people. He had a feeling that his score was now in the safe zone. It wasn't going to matter if he let a few people live.
In any case, he knew he was destined to walk a different path than the Star Alliance. Was there really a need to sacrifice such great warriors for the Star Alliance when he could use them in the future?
"Fine. I'll let you live but you must accept a Slave Summoner Contract!"
He didn't want to establish the same contract that he did with Hun's father. Instead, he went for something much harsher.
In an ordinary Summoner Contract, even if the Master died, the summon could live. However, with the Summoner Slave Contract, the life of beasts depended on the master. In case he died, they were going to die as well.
This kind of contract ensured that he got the best of deals. In case his life was in danger, there was no way these beasts could run since their lives were attached to his life.
If the King of Beasts had the same contract with them, he was sure that these beasts couldn't have afforded to stay back and watch. They would've fought him as well as that was better than inevitable death once their master was killed.
The Supreme Beasts had no choice but to agree. They couldn't resist since the outcome was death if they resisted.
One after another, Lucifer established a contract with all the Supreme Beasts before telling them about the earth and how they had to behave once he sent them there.
After teaching them everything, he sent them back to earth, just like he sent the Snow Wolf Clan.
After sending them back to earth, Lucifer finally could rest. The city was completely destroyed. There was no one left here. He had done his part.
"I wonder how the others are doing. My score should be at the top, but I can't be too sure. Raayi and Ron are very powerful as well. They should be quite close to my score if not already above me."
He brought a bottle of water out of his shadow storage and drank some water while resting. He didn't have much time to rest with all this war. He was already quite hungry. Fortunately, he had already prepared food before coming here.
Sitting on the rubble, he started eating. After so long, he could finally relax. He finally had all seven stones that he needed! As soon as he brought them out, he was sure that those stones were going to synergize and open the portal again.
He wanted to do that right away, but couldn't. The Star Alliance hated the person he wanted to find and their ship was already keeping a watch on this world.
He knew he couldn't do much here. He did take one good step in all this. When he was sending all those Supreme Beasts back to earth, he didn't forget to send one more person with them.
He was keeping Gabriel in his Shadow Realm whom he had found sealed in the ancient temple. Since Gabriel was so strong, the shadow realm could be destroyed if he made even the slightest movement inside.
Gabriel had to sit like a statue all this time to keep the shadow realm stable. However, now with all this destruction, Lucifer finally found an opportunity to bring him out and send him to a safe place.
He sent Gabriel back to earth with the Supreme Beings, giving him slightly different instructions. He told Gabriel to give a message to Kellian as well, and to wait for him since he was going to come take him when he received his ship and promotion.
Gabriel didn't oppose either. Just meeting more people and being free was already fun enough for him. Moreover, he had already waited for centuries. He was quite patient.
After Lucifer sent Gabriel back, he had finally taken care of everything. This was the day he almost accomplished all he set out to do. He had all the stones and he was almost at the edge of that promotion.
There was only one thing left to do now... Kill the Baltics and clear all the evidence of him being involved in their destruction. The Star Alliance didn't know that some of the Baltics were still alive who had seen the person that destroyed them. He couldn't afford to let them live.
Fortunately, he already knew where those people were hiding. They had taken over an entire city. He could kill them without raising much suspicions since the task at hand was no different than destroying cities before this world's inevitable destruction.
After eating to his heart's content, he stood up and prepared to leave the Royal City.
****
Just like Lucifer, Raayi had already destroyed the first City that was assigned to her. The only problem was that the population of that city was slightly lower than the Royal City. Because of that, her score was already lower than Lucifer.
Despite that, she didn't seem worried since she didn't even believe that Lucifer could've killed more than her in this time.
Raayi left the city, leaving behind a city that was covered entirely in use. The city was completely frozen, and so were the people inside.
In another part of the world, Ron had destroyed one of the cities as well. Scorching marks left behind thanks to his lightning were visible everywhere.
Ron was quite disappointed that he couldn't find any powerful opponent to keep him entertained in the city. He was hopeful for the next city though.
