Chapter 808: Potential
Present day~
Lucifer had just landed back on earth. After going through all the formalities of the Star Alliance, he had received his mbership. He was also assigned on the ship of Joana for his training.
Moreover, as per the promise, he was allowed to go to his world as soon as his world was discovered. He was made an envoy of the Star Alliance to earth. It was his task to inform the earth about the Star Alliance.
The massive ship was waiting for Joana to return. However, Joana also had a task of his own, for which he had co down.
He wanted to leave a ssage for the entire world about the Star Alliance, but he left that task for Lucifer and didn't do it after seeing the emotional turmoil of his.
He didn't want to bring the attention to himself, especially when he didn't know much about this world.
Lucifer destroyed all the spikes to recover the bodies.
He placed all the bodies in one line and stood before them, closing his eyes.
The citizens of the nation looked at Lucifer from a distance. They could feel that sothing big was going to happen. Lucifer was soone who had single handedly destroyed most of the Warlock Council to take over this place.
When Jian returned and destroyed all the enemies, they thought that Lucifer had run away because he was weak and couldn't face Jian. They had started underestimating Lucifer.
Not only that, on the second day, Jian did the public execution of the Uprising mbers that they had managed to catch. Every day, he executed four Uprising mbers, live for the world to see before leaving their bodies on the spikes for twenty-four hours.
After every twenty-four hours, he executed different people. People felt like it was done in order to draw out Lucifer because the Warlock Council had failed to find Lucifer, no matter how much they tried. It was as if Lucifer had gone into hiding.
The people that Lucifer found on the spikes weren't the only ones who were killed. They were just the ones that were killed yesterday, right before everyone.
Seeing Lucifer return, many citizens were starting to have different thoughts. If Lucifer was truly a coward like they thought previously, why did he return now?
Were they wrong? Was he not scared? Or was it that he was drawn out because of the public executions.
"I'll make everything alright. It'll all be over, don't worry," Lucifer said as if talking to the dead bodies before him.
He raised his hands. A dark shadow ca out from under him. The shadow moved under the four bodies, swallowing them all.
All the bodies disappeared.
Lucifer turned to Joana. "You wanted to see this world, right? I think you shouldn't waste your ti here. Use your abilities to see the world. You only have half an hour. I'll be busy with sothing to show you around."
"It's alright. I don't need to see. I'd rather accompany you. I want to see how our envoy deals with this situation," Joana responded.
"As I said before, I can't intervene in the situation. But if I was in your place and my friends were killed, believe when I see this, this entire city would be buried underground by now."
"They deserve whatever is coming to them. Go ahead. I'm ready to have an entertaining next twenty minutes. I see you looking towards that building. Are your enemies there?" he asked, pointing towards the Warlock Council headquarters.
"They should be there. That's the place I'll get all my answers. But first..."
Lucifer glanced at the citizens who were looking towards him. He raised his finger towards one of the n.
The man who was pointed at felt his hands and legs being shackled by invisible chains. His body raised in the air and was pulled towards Lucifer.
His body landed before Lucifer.
The man felt his neck being choked a little.
"What happened in the last five days?" Lucifer asked the man. "Who killed them?"
"M-master Jian! The Warlock Council!" The man exclaid, struggling to let out his voice.
"Jian... I rember. He's the one I talked to. So he ca here. He killed them all alone?"
"Y-yes. He did a live broadcast. The entire world saw him do it. I have it saved as well!"
"Show !" Lucifer commander.
He was surprised why no one had co out of the Warlock Council headquarters, but he wasn't in a hurry to go inside either, without understanding the entire situation.
"It's in my phone."
"I told you to show , not tell where it is," Lucifer snapped.
"I think he ant you need to release his hands first," Joana reminded Lucifer. "I know you're upset. But you need to remain calm. That's the first thing we're taught in the Star Alliance. It is that we must never lose our composure."
"Moreover, you're a part of my team. So I'm supposed to train you. This can be a good opportunity to tell you so basics."
"I know the basics. I just forget it sotis," Lucifer let out. He freed the hands of the man.
The man pulled out his phone and started playing a video.
Joana tried to watch the video, but looking at such a small screen, he started having a hard ti.
"The screen is so small," he said, frowning. "You can't even see anything clearly. Let help."
He took the phone from the man and covered the screen with one hand.
A semi transparent screen appeared before Joana, out of thin air.
The blueish screen was fifty inches wide and thirty inches tall. It was big enough to show everything clearly.
The screen started playing the challenge of Jian to the Uprising.
"Is this your enemy?" He asked Lucifer.
"He should be Jian. He's the one behind it all," Lucifer said. It was also his first ti watching Jian. If he hadn't heard Jian introduce himself, he would've had a hard ti recognizing this guy as well.
"You can slip his taunts. Skip the speech. I want to see the battle."
Joana increased the speed of the video.
Lucifer saw the arrival of Milena. "So she did co. Even with her presence, this happened?"
The Battle began, and Lucifer finally understood that he truly had underestimated Jian. He thought Jian was an ordinary Warlock but seeing him battle; he realized that he was wrong.
Calling Jian ordinary was an understatent. Jian alone managed to face Milena, Arthur and the rest. Lucifer wouldn't have cared even if Jian was able to defeat everyone in his team.
However, him defeating Milena was making an entirely different statent altogether, especially since he did it with such ease.
"This person isn't half bad. I think he has potential," Joana couldn't help but complint Jian, seeing his battle skills.
