While Lucifer's hands remained on her feet, she felt a stranger yet pure energy entering her body through her feet.
Right before her eyes, her wounds started healing at a faster pace than before. Not just that, but her fatigue and pain began to dissipate, leaving her feeling rejuvenated and filled with a newfound strength. Even her hands healed, returning to normal.
"Who... are you?" the woman asked, subconsciously reaching out her hand to touch Lucifer's head. However she stopped herself.
Lucifer looked at the woman. He held her hands, placing them over his head. This was the mother he had lost. This was the love and care he craved for.
"This time I will change everything..." Lucifer told his mother, without disclosing his identity.
He stood up, turning around to look at the Spatial Clan Patriarch who came out of the rubble.
Lucifer disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the old man. He grabbed the man's throat with his left hand while grabbing onto his right arm.
"Is this the arm that hurt her?" he asked before ripping the arm completely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Arghh!" The man roared in pain, but as he roared, Lucifer placed his hands inside the man's mouth, grabbing onto his tongue.
"Is this the tongue that threatened her?" he asked as he ripped out the tongue from the man's mouth, blood filling his mouth.
The old man's eyes turned blood red from pain.
Just as the old man's pain reached its peak, a bright light suddenly illuminated the room. A figure stepped forward, dressed in traditional long attire and radiating a warm, calming energy.
"I was wondering what was taking you so long. You couldn't even handle a woman and a young man?" The man spoke, a mocking smirk on his lips.
The Spatial Clan Leader looked at the man with pleading eyes while almost choking on his own blood.
"I guess I'll help you this time since we're part of the same side. As for my fee for saving your life, I'll tell you later!" The white-robed man spoke, as he stepped towards Lucifer.
"Young man, you should've killed him and left before my arrival." The man raised his right hand in a graceful gesture. " Because now that I'm here, all that awaits you is dea-"
Unfortunately, before he could even finish his sentence, he froze in place, his face turning pale. With a look of disbelief, he lowered his head, looking at his own blood on the ground.
Right before his eyes, the top half of his body slid to the side, falling to the ground while the bottom half was still left standing.
For all his big talks and confidence, the man had died before being able to attack at all.
The Spatial Clan Alliance Leader felt his heart coming to his mouth as the person he thought was his savior was killed in an instant.
His fearful eyes looked at Lucifer.
Lucifer's focus returned to the old man as he ripped his other arm off as well.
"I heard you're interested in hanging heads at your clan entrance? I'll fulfill your wish by hanging your head at your calm entrance. But before that..."
The old man felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Lucifer's demonic gaze. It was nothing like that of the Ancient Clan. Instead, it was like someone who had returned straight from hell for this moment.
In the next few minutes, the old man's roar filled the entire hall repeatedly as his body was slowly dismembered in the most brutal way to make sure he felt all the pain he could.
Even Lucifer's mother in the distance couldn't bear to watch it. Although she was curious about Lucifer's identity, but when she thought that her child could be in danger, she turned around and left the hall. Instead of waiting here for Lucifer to finish, she wanted to go find her child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven as she left the hall, she could still hear the roars of the old man.
Lucifer's mother ran through the hallway, taking the path towards the safe zone where she had told her maid to hide Lucifer. However, only after running for a few minutes, she heard hasty footsteps in the distance.
She called out her weapon, prepared to attack. As soon as the person came before her, she rushed ahead. However, as soon as she saw the person, she stopped, her sword merely inches away from that person's throat.
"Where is my child?!" Lucifer's woman roared, finding the maid with empty hands, her child nowhere in sight. She felt her heart drop in fear.
"Y-young Lord came in this direction..." the maid exclaimed.
"He came here? What do you mean? He can't even walk! How can he come here?!" Lucifer's mother roared, almost on the verge of slapping the maid for lying and giving excuses. In the worry for her child, she wasn't in the right mindset. However, she still controlled herself.
The maid gulped heavily. In all her life, this was the first time she had seen her Mistress so angry at her. However she understood where she was coming from.
The maid started telling everything about how she hid Lucifer when she was attacked, and about the older Lucifer coming out to help her. She even told her all about what Lucifer said and why she thought it was the young child who had grown up to become Lucifer.
"H-he was..." Lucifer's mother looked towards the hall where she had come from. She couldn't believe that the person was her child. Now she understood why she felt so close to him.
However, even she didn't understand how this was possible. How could Lucifer grow up so fast? How could he control space and time to this extent, as if he had lived it all with years of practice?
At this moment, she didn't care about it at all. Instead, she started running towards the hall to ask the man directly if he was her child.
