Chapter 1064 1065: Why Suffer
Lucifer's mother ran back to the main hall, followed by the Maid, her heart beating fast in worries of her son. She hadn't realized that the person who saved her was none other than her own child.
Soon, she entered the hall, her breathing heavy. The maid also entered the hall, only to get shocked, seeing the gruesome scene in the hall.
There was blood and flesh everywhere, as if someone had brutally killed everyone here. In the distance, there was one gruesome mess that was even harder to recognise. If it wasn't for the traces of clothes, she couldn't have confirmed that this was the Spatial Clan Leader, or what was left of him.
Lucifer's mother looked all around, but she couldn't find Lucifer anywhere. The entire place was empty of anyone living.
"He left..." she muttered, looking at the dark sky through the hole in the roof.

On the battlefield outside, a lot of destruction had taken place. Millions of intruders from Various Powerful Clans were killed. Many Ships were also destroyed. Unfortunately, their numbers were just too large.
The Ancient Clan had also lost many of their members, each of their members fighting against millions of Warriors from multiple clans.
In such a short time, there was a complete carnage, more than half the Ancient Clan Members had already died, some being overwhelmed by numbers while others being schemed against.
There was also a large-scale formation spread across the world which further weakened the Ancient Clan. This made everything evident. This assault had been planned for a long time, and even the clans they trusted had betrayed them.
The timing of this couldn't have been worse as the Ancient Clan Leader was at his weakest after losing his inheritance.
Even then, Lucifer's father stood tall. He was surrounded by the Clan Leaders of Various Clans, all paying extreme importance to him.
"How long can you last in this condition of yours?" One of the bearded old men asked, black lightning flickering all around his body. A lightning armor had covered his entire body.
Lucifer's father flashed a confident smile, his eyes shining with resilience. "I can last until I take your life at least."
"Hahaha, are you trying to act strong? Do you think we don't know, you've lost your strength? It was the biggest mistake on your part, and it's a mistake that you'll regret even in your grave!" Another old man laughed, the temperature around him was freezing cold.
"It's amusing to see you still pretend when everything has been falling apart for you. Half your clan has died. All your Ministers are dead and if I'm not wrong, even your wife should've been dead now. Today will be the last day for your clan!"
"From today onwards, the entire existence of the Ancient Clan will be erased from the history books. No one will remember your existence. No one will remember the shameful part of the history where we served you! You will be completely erased, and we shall be liberated!"
The Clan Leaders from various sides had clear bloodthirst in their eyes. This was the moment they had all been waiting for, and so far everything was going according to plan.
Hearing their words, Lucifer's father's expressions darkened as he actually started worrying about his wife. Although he was confident that they would've already safely gone to the shelter and left this place, he still couldn't help but worry as there were too many factors.
While the Ancient Clan Leader was distracted, one of the enemies attacked, ice rose from the ground, freezing his feet. At the same time, dark lightning bolts fell on the man from the sky, crackling with a powerful force.
Lucifer's father raised his sword, blocking the lightning bolts while absorbing its essence. However, since he had hurt himself during the inheritance transfer, his body was already at its weakest.
Even the power of lightning that would've been a child's play for him in the past was now able to hurt him, blood trickling down his lips as he broke the ice at his feet.
The gruesome battle continued. Unfortunately, the number of enemies surrounding him were too high, and all of them were their Species Leader level beings. Their combined strength was strong.
It wasn't just their combined strength but also their coordination as if they had trained together for a long time for this specific movement. It was as if they had studied him completely.
When he was in his best condition, it still wouldn't have been a problem but now, things had gotten more complicated.
Despite his injuries and the overwhelming number of enemies, Lucifer's father fought with unwavering determination. He unleashed a flurry of powerful attacks, striking down several enemies with each swing of his sword. However, for every enemy he defeated, two more seemed to take their place.
The Clan Leaders from various clans continued to taunt him, mocking his weakened state and the downfall of the Ancient Clan. Their words fueled his anger, giving him the strength to keep fighting. He refused to let his clan be erased from history, to let their sacrifices be in vain.
As the battle raged on, Lucifer's father's vision began to blur from the loss of blood. He could feel his strength waning, his movements growing slower and more labored. His body ached with exhaustion, but he refused to give up.
Lucifer's father unleashed a final burst of power, his attacks becoming even more ferocious. With each strike, he pushed himself to the limit, determined to protect his clan and his family.
He fought with the strength of a thousand warriors, his sword slicing through the enemy ranks, even cutting apart the space with each of his movements.
But the enemy leaders were not so easily defeated. They fought back with equal ferocity, unleashing their own devastating attacks. Lucifer's father sustained more injuries, blood pouring from his wounds. Yet he refused to yield, pushing through the pain.
"Just give up and accept your death! Why suffer so much for no reason? I promise I'll make your death quick!" The man with the lightning armor laughed, as he continued attacking.
