Chapter 1000 1000 : Hostility

Talia walked past the animals, moving closer to the statue.

Sensitive to the footsteps, the Animals raised their heads and looked at Talia. They didn't react to her and let her pass, but strangely enough, when they looked at Lucifer, there was some hostility. It was as if they were going to attack him if he stepped closer.

Lucifer released some of his killing intent after seeing the hostility from the animals.

The animals were frightened by the heavy killing intent, and slowly stepped back with wariness.

Lucifer followed Talia who stopped at the foot of the statue. She pulled out a knife and made a small cut on her wrist, letting the blood fall on the foot of the statue.

As the blood fell on the Statue's feet, but before it could touch the feet, it froze in space. The blood drops started flying above, landing on the forehead of the Giant Statue.

The blood drop was absorbed by the Statue. For some time, nothing happened. It was complete silence.

Ten minutes passed when there was finally a change. The statue slowly opened its eyes. It started shining in a mysterious light.

The Light was very comfortable, making the animals subconsciously move closer. Even Talia felt as if the light was pure. It was not only healing her fatigue, but also strengthening her to some extent.

Unfortunately, that same light proved to be strange for Lucifer. He felt a burning sensation as the light fell on his body. His skin was constantly being burned by the light.

He jumped back, landing far away from the light while using his healing to take care of his skin. He didn't understand why the light was harming him. Was it only helpful for Talia as this domain was created by her? Or was there something else?

Seeing Lucifer jump back, Talia glanced in his direction, frowning. She watched his burnt skin, which was healing at a fast pace. A strange frown appeared on her face as she thought of something, but she didn't express her thoughts.

One thing was certain though. The way she looked at Lucifer had changed. It was full of suspicions now.

The statue slid back, revealing a hidden passage leading underground. Talia jumped inside, without even calling for Lucifer.

Lucifer tried to catch up to her, but even with his speed, he wasn't fast enough. The Statue had moved back to its original place, closing the entrance.

As Lucifer came close, the light around the statue only intensified, making Lucifer feel as if a bucket of acid was poured over his head. However, he couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

He wasn't sure why this statue was harming him constantly, especially since Talia didn't say anything about it before. In any case, he couldn't afford to stay behind.

Getting close to the statue was painful, but Lucifer couldn't hesitate. He didn't step back.

"Can a mere statue stop me?" He clenched his fist, using his superior strength as he dashed towards the statue.

His skin burned even more, to the point that his healing couldn't keep up. Some of his flesh and bones also became visible in a short time.

Boom~

An explosive sound resounded as Lucifer's fist hit the statue. The force of the impact sent shockwaves through the surrounding area, causing cracks to spread across the statue's surface.

Before his very eyes, the light of the statue dimmed as the entire statue broke into a thousand pieces.

The animals ran away from the sight, horrified.

Lucifer placed his hand on where the opening used to be, decaying the entrance to create an opening for him.

Fortunately, it wasn't problematic. As the opening appeared, he jumped inside the opening.

He was also curious as to what kind of inheritance this was. Was it a physical item or was it something that enhanced inner power? In any case, he had to see with his own eyes how dangerous this could be.

Lucifer landed underground, the surroundings completely dark, making it impossible for him to see anything.

He raised his right hand, creating a sphere made of condensed flames to observe the surroundings.

As the flames illuminated the space, Lucifer's was even to see a hallway, with walls that looked like they were made from ordinary stones.

He placed his fingers on the walls, testing his decay.

"Just like I thought, these are ordinary walls."

The wall couldn't resist against his decay, making it no different than things he saw before. But what made him truly intrigued was the blood on the floor.

There was blood on the floor, as if a bleeding body was dragged through the hallway by someone. The blood had fried, showing that it wasn't recent. It couldn't belong to Talia.

Lucifer followed the trace of blood through the hallway.

The hallways soon split, giving Lucifer two paths. The first path was the one which had the trail of blood. While the second path had signs of footsteps.

"The footsteps should belong to Talia, but isn't it too convenient?" Lucifer frowned as he stood on the threshold of making a choice.

His purpose was to catch upto Talia, but he wasn't certain which path she took. Fortunately, he had another ability.

He created two shadows. One of the shadows rushed in the first passage while the other entered the second passage.

Where the passages further split in multiple paths, the shadows also split accordingly and kept going deeper.

Along the way, one of the shadows noticed a few lifeless bodies. The creatures weren't humans, but they weren't beasts either. They looked like strange Puppets, but they were bleeding.

The blood was also fresh, as if they were killed just recently. Only one person could've killed them.

"Found the path she took." Raven entered the first path which had the trail of blood. This was where Talia had entered.

He ran through the passage as fast as he could. His shadows moved just as fast to help him further with the investigation.
