Chapter 920: Too far
Lucifer didn't want to take the absolute lead. He only wanted to stand on equal ground with the best of the best, so he knew who he had to defeat in the tournament, but the Instructor messed with him by sending him back.
To teach the man a lesson, Lucifer not only came ahead, but he flew right beside the middle-aged Instructor.
If he didn't need the instructor to show him the path, he would've flown ahead alone as well, but he was content with flying right beside the man to teach him a lesson, not knowing that this had enraged the man even more.
The Instructor didn't just try to slow Lucifer down now. Instead, he decided to teach the young man a lesson about how he should never mess with the Gale Clan. Using winds against the Gale Clan was like using tricks of fire against the Raasin Clan, which was the Overlord of Flames!
"Please tell me the man isn't going to do what I think he's going to do?" Mander Rasin asked calmly. He could see the middle-aged man getting agitated. The winds around them were intensifying.
"He's going to teach that idiot a lesson. It's not wrong. He is insulting an Instructor by flying right beside him," Raayi lazily responded. "I see nothing wrong in it."
"You see nothing wrong because you're biased, Raayi," Ron chimed in the conversation. "An instructor isn't allowed to hurt a participant."
"Oh shut up. I'm just speaking facts. That idiot deserves some punishment, and it's not like he will be killed. He'll just be taught a lesson. Don't tell me you are going to intervene.'
"I know I should, but I won't," Ron answered. "I don't know what it's about this guy, but there is something special. I want to see what he's capable of because I have a feeling that he can surprise us all."
Just as the three were conversing amongst themselves, the clash had started.
The winds fastened as the middle-aged man sent a gust of wind that only worked against Lucifer.
He knew he couldn't hurt the young man, so he didn't use anything stronger, but he did use his winds to create resistance to Lucifer. The winds acted against Lucifer, trying to slow down.
It was as if there were two sides of the winds, and both were fighting for supremacy. The race was something which Lucifer appeared to be losing through.
Winds were the Bloodline specialty of the Middle-Aged man, and he certainly had centuries of experience and control of wind. He kept chipping on the defense of Lucifer at the same thing, slowing him down. The man also used all his might to take control of Lucifer's winds so he could control him.
An invisible clash was taking place in the wind between an instructor and a participant. No one could see the wind but everyone understood what was happening. Most of the people were smug or careless. Only one person seemed to be caring for Lucifer, and it was Malin.
Lucifer kept resisting the man's wind while also struggling to maintain control on his own wind. Despite that, he still hadn't fallen even an inch behind the man.
Lucifer gazed at the middle-aged man, who was also looking back at him. He could see a smile on the face of the middle-aged man, but there was an anger hidden behind that smile. It was evident.
It was as if the man was saying with his smile that he had enough of Lucifer's showoff, and it was time to bring him down a notch.
He kept chopping away at the control of Lucifer.
With the antics of the man, even Lucifer was starting to get angered now. It was all fun and games until now, but if this guy wanted to use his abilities against Lucifer, then even Lucifer was ready.
Since he was better at wind, he wanted to take Lucifer's winds from him? Lucifer decided that if the man was looking for a conflict, then it was only fair to give him one.
'Your winds are really powerful.' Lucifer thought. 'But not as powerful as the other elements there are!'
The two people kept flying as fast as they could. The invisible conflict kept getting worse, but it was just the beginning.
Since Lucifer was losing his winds to some extent, his speed was starting to sleep down. The resistance was also having an effect, but Lucifer didn't stop.
Dark clouds started surrounding the sky. In this world, things like this never happened. It surprised everyone, but the man didn't care. It was a matter of his dignity. He couldn't let this going man trample on his dignity.
Lucifer was also not going to back off from this conflict. He had gone through thousands of conflicts in his life which were even worse, and he didn't like losing.
To counter his slow speed, Lucifer used another of his abilities.
Two dark winds made purely of energy appeared behind his back which gave him an immense boost.

Lucifer sliced through the wind resistance as he shot ahead, finally taking the lead! He left the middle-aged man behind, amazing everyone who watched it.
Raayi had her lips parted in disbelief. Just what was this guy? He had wings and could control winds? She had never heard of any species like that. She certainly heard of species that had wings and the ones that could control wind, but these were two different species. There wasn't any single which had both these abilities.
Even Ron was surprised but more than that he was excited. He was right about Lucifer. This guy had something special.
The middle-aged man's face turned red. He was defeated, and he was defeated in front of everyone! In his embarrassment and anger, he lost his calm.
The heat of the moment was such that he couldn't even think straight. Unable to think clearly, the man subconsciously reacted following his urges as he shot thousands of wind blades at Lucifer.
Since Lucifer also had a connection with the winds, he could sense the wind blades coming toward him. He couldn't believe it! The man was so petty that he was attacking him with something that could kill a person?!
This was it! All the limits had been crossed. There was no need to hold back anymore!
At first, he uses his Teleportation to appear in a different place, avoiding all the attacks, but he doesn't stop there. There was an attempt on his life all because of one defeat!
"You shouldn't have!" Lucifer responded. The sky roared as if answering to him!
