Lucifer checked Jenilia. "She is dead."
He looked in the direction where the explosion came from. There was a massive crater on the ground that was visible from where he was. He noticed a black coffin in the crater.
All the signs were pointing towards the coffin being the source of destruction. Lucifer flew towards the coffin. Other than that, there was no damage.
"That coffin... That's where it came from." Salazar also looked at the coffin.
"I want to check the coffin. Are you sure you don't need medical attention?" Lucifer asked Salazar.
Salazar smiled. "I told you. I am fi..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes also closed as his head lowered.
Lucifer checked Salazar in haste.
"Still alive. That's good," he muttered, sighing. He looked back at the coffin but shook his head. He needed to do something to protect Salazar first. It was in the middle of nowhere. He was sure the coffin wasn't going anywhere.
Despite all that, he cast some lightning bolts around the coffin, trapping it in a lightning prison as well.
"Now, let's get you some help."
He flew towards the Academy.
"Whoever is in charge, come out of the Academy! This is your last warning! If you don't come out, I'll destroy what's left of this academy as well!"
Stopping right above the Academy, Lucifer used Supersonic Voice to get his message far and wide.

....
Jane was sitting on the chair, holding her head. She was still thinking if she had any option.
Hearing his second threat, he couldn't stay silent anymore. In the first attack, he had taken out the first half of the academy. In the second attack, he could take out what was left of it, including her life!
She knew she couldn't hide anymore.
Still, she didn't stand up.
"Aia, can you give me the authority to contact the cities? Everyone else is dead! I'm the highest in authority! Please help!"
"Negative. Only the Dean can share permission. Without his permission, nothing can be done!"
"Come on! He is dead! Don't toy with me!"
"Negative. Only the Dean can share permission. Without his permission, nothing can be done!" Aia repeated the same answer.
"To heck with you! You useless thing!" Jane cursed, standing up. "If I have to die, I'll die taking a chance! Even though I know he'll kill me after getting the answer; I still have to do it!"
She brought another surfboard. "Aia, Teleport me outside!"
Some light rays surrounded her before her figure disappeared.
She appeared on top of the academy, still standing on her surfboard.
"You finally came! Tell me you have a medical facility! I want you to help my friend."
"Medical facility?" Jane asked, surprised. She looked behind Lucifer, finding Jenilia and Salazar with their eyes closed. "How did this happen? Wait? That energy wave just now? It wasn't your work, was it?"
"Enough nonsense! I want you to save them. If you do a good job, I'll let you live. Answer me now!" Lucifer grimly said.
He was sure that the academy must have a medical facility. Since it was in such a barren place, they couldn't just send students to the City when they needed treatment. There must be something here.
"You promise you won't hurt us if we help you?" Jane asked.
"I promise!" Lucifer calmly stated. Promises were even cheaper than pennies to him. He didn't care what he had to promise.
Jane thought for a little before she disappeared again.
"This girl. She is actually looking for death!" Lucifer exclaimed, even angrier than before.
However, the woman came back again. This time she had three pairs of white gloves in her hand.
"Wear these. They'll help you Teleport to the medical room. You can't go there without these," She said, tossing the gloves towards Lucifer. "Make them wear as well."
Lucifer didn't grab the gloves though. He used wings to hold the gloves in place.
Jane looked at him in confusion. "Are you worried that I'm trapping you? Where can I even trap you with these gloves? You can break even the most protected rooms! I just want us to be done with it!" Jane exclaimed.
Even though she would have loved to send Lucifer to a prison through the gloves' teleportation, she had already seen that he could get out of any room.
And other than having Aia and Teleportation, these gloves had nothing special. And none of them could harm him.
Lucifer wore his black gloves first. He couldn't wear white gloves as they were just going to be destroyed. He only wore the white gloves on top of the black ones, which made Jane wonder if this guy was crazy. Who wore gloves on top of gloves?
He also made Salazar and Jenilia wear the gloves. "Next."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Now, we'll go to the medical room. Just relax," Jane calmly said.
She touched her gloves. "Aia, take us all to the medical room."
"Affirmed," Aia responded before everyone disappeared.
The black coffin remained in the back inside the black prison, unmoving as if it was an ordinary coffin that hadn't just destroyed half the academy.
...
Lucifer appeared inside a plain white room which was filled with machines. Even though Jane called it a Medical Room, it was much bigger than any room he had seen so far. It was a massive facility in itself, which was five hundred meters long.
"Place the two on these tables. Let's see what we're dealing with," Jane told Lucifer, pointing towards two white tables.
Lucifer placed Jenilia on one table and Salazar on another simultaneously.
"Aia, check their condition. Tell me if they can be saved."
A green light started scanning the two.
"That energy wave? Where did it come from? And if your friends are hurt, why are you safe?" In the background, Jane started asking questions. She hadn't seen the coffin in the back.
"Focus on them," Lucifer calmly stated. Even though he was already sure that Jenilia was dead, he didn't mind bringing her along for evaluation. Who knew they could bring her back.
"Scanning complete. The woman is dead. She can't be saved." The first scanning was completed, and Aia gave the verdict.
"I think your female friend can't be saved," Jane informed Lucifer.
"We can do nothing. If we could, wouldn't we first bring back the people who were killed by you? We can heal, but we can't bring back to life," Jane responded.
"Scanning complete."
Aia declared as Salazar's scanning was complete as well.
