Chapter 1036 Chapter 1036
Alazar turned around, catching a glimpse of someone who he never expected to be here.
"How did..." Alazar's sister was also confused as she saw the person who was standing behind them.
To both of their surprise, Lucifer had tagged along with them and none of them even realized it until now. No, it was more as if they had led Lucifer to their home.
"I suppose he isn't a friend that you brought home with you?" The Elder of the Clan understood a lot of things from the youngster's expressions. They were just as surprised as him about the appearance of the person.
Lucifer's clothes were slightly burned and Alazar was in his Draconian form. It was also clear that the two of them had been fighting before Alazar was brought back.
"To think that you two would bring back an enemy and not even realize it. I'm disappointed in you. Get inside the clan and be ready for your punishment," the Clan Elder sighed, not even putting Lucifer in his eyes.
"As for the rest, take down that person and imprison him as well. I'll decide what to do after talking with the Patriarch."
The Clan Elder turned around, walking back inside the Clan Mansion. However, as soon as he turned around, he had a foreboding feeling.
He heard a groaning sound behind him before he could even turn around. He looked back, his expressions darkening. In the distance, he saw Lucifer. But this time, Lucifer's hands were covered in blood. And in his hand was a heart.
The heart didn't belong to him either. Instead, it was the heart of the Guard that he had just commanded to imprison Lucifer.
Right next to Lucifer was the guard, a fist sized hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His feat body fell to the ground with a thud as Lucifer crushed the Draconian heart. As the heart shattered into pieces, a wave of dark flames erupted, as if the life essence of the Draconian heart. The dark flames were slowly absorbed by Lucifer, or rather by the strange aura core in his heart.
As the flames seeped into his core, a surge of warmth spread throughout Lucifer's body.
"You..."
In the moment, there was only silence in the surroundings. Not only had an intruder appeared in their Domain, but instead of begging for forgiveness, that intruder had instead killed someone?
"I've had enough of you!" Alazar thought that the Elder would take care of the rest, but he didn't expect Lucifer to not surrender even after he was in their Domain.
This time, he didn't hold back either as he flew straight to Lucifer, his sharp claws strong enough to break even the hardest material.
"H...uh?" Alazar had attacked, but in a moment, his expressions were filled with confusion.
He didn't know what happened. One moment, he was attacking Lucifer and the next moment, he was lying on the ground, a sharp pain spreading across his back.
Everything happened so fast that even he took some time to understand what happened. Lucifer was standing right next to him, but Lucifer's feet were resting on his chest.
In the moment he attacked, Lucifer had also moved and the outcome was this. As Lucifer's fiery gaze intensified, his otherworldly power began to consume him. His once charismatic demeanor had transformed into a terrifying force of destruction.
"Who are you?" The Elder asked, his expressions grim. What he saw just now was something else entirely. He was certain that Alazar wasn't even in the same league as the young man.
"You fought Alazar before coming here. But with the strength you showed just now, it's impossible for you to be unable to kill him. Did you intentionally let him leave so you could follow him here? What are your intentions?"
Although the Elder asked a lot of questions, but in his mind, he already had the answers. He just didn't want to believe it. This was the kind of strength that he had only seen in one particular species. It was a strength and speed comparable to a Draconian, a raw destructive power.
It was the species that all the clans had to work together to destroy. He had recently heard a lot about the reappearance of a remnant of that clan. And now after seeing Lucifer before him, his thoughts were certain.
He had already sent a message to the Head of the Clan and everyone in the clan, informing them about this. The purpose questions served was nothing more than to delay Lucifer.
Lucifer took off his foot from Alazar's chest, his eyes looking down on the young man who had been filled with arrogance.
"I'm nothing but a son, that came here to repay the debt that I've owed," Lucifer spoke, his voice calm and measured. "All I want is to find peace within myself. And for that peace, I will have to finish what you all started..."
Alazar struggled to process Lucifer's words, but the feeling of anger and embarrassment was clear in his heart. He didn't like the emotionless eyes that Lucifer was looking at him with. It was as if he was looking down on him.
"Don't you dare look down on me!" Alazar roared, dark flames rising from within his body, swallowing Lucifer's body. In the moment, he watched Lucifer's skin burn with his own eyes.
"Who am I to look down on you?" Lucifer asked, even as his body was burning in dark flames.
"I'm but a man, looking for an end..." he replied, his voice filled with resignation as he faced the infernal torment.
As flames danced around him, he kept his foot firmly on Alazar's chest. Alazar struggled but even with his strength, he couldn't take off Lucifer's feet. It was as if a divine mountain was resting on his chest.
His sharp claws attacked Lucifer's legs, cutting off a lot of flesh with each swing but every time, the flesh healed before he could attack again.
No one understood why Lucifer was keeping Alazar alive, despite being in pain. Was he scared of killing him? Or did he have another purpose?
