For a mont, he even doubted himself if he was actually outside the Royal City or not.
"This is definitely the Royal City, then why?"
His curiosity overtook him as he turned into a shadow as well, entering the city. He wanted to enter with a big bang before, but he changed his mind. For his answers, he directly entered the city.
The other candidates had already started killing the ones that they saw, but Lucifer didn't.
Lucifer straight went to one of the mansions in the city, where he had seen Hun and his family.
It was only after he entered the mansion that he ca to his real form.
He ca to his human form.
Appearing in the mansion, it was the sa atmosphere as before. It was freezing cold here, almost as cold as it was on top of the mountain where they had their trials.
The only difference from before was that the mansion looked mostly empty. Unlike before, there didn't appear to be many people here.
"Hun!" He called out. He was at his friend's house. Instead of sneaking inside, he directly called him.
After a few minutes, a person ca out of one of the rooms, confused as to who was calling him. The voice did seem familiar to him.
As soon as he ca out of the room, he looked at Lucifer. Lucifer was slightly older now, but he still looked mostly the sa. Moreover, his features and his silver hair were very hard to forget.
"Lucifer?" Hun asked, just to be sure.
"Who else?" Lucifer stepped closer to Hun. "Your new house isn't half bad, but I liked the old one better."
"You aren't the only one who liked the old house." Hun flashed a weak smile. "But it's really good to see you back."
He stepped forward and gave Lucifer a light hug before stepping back. "Co; the others will be happy to see you as well. It's been so long since we last saw you."
"Sa here. But why did you change your House? Why did you shift to the Royal City?" Lucifer asked. "I saw Alia and the Gold Rhino Clan as well. It's as if all High Beasts of the city shifted to the Royal City."
"We didn't have much of a choice. If we wanted to live, we had to leave the city," Hun answered.
"What do you an?" Lucifer inquired, following Hun up the stairs.
"Nothing. You just ca here. It's better that I don't spoil your mood with this. Anyway, have you eaten anything? I can get you sothing to eat."
"Don't change the topic." Lucifer grimaced, noticing Hun's attempt to change the topic. "Tell what happened that made you all co here?"
He wondered if it was because they knew that the Star Alliance was going to attack. But if that was the case, why was the Royal City without much Security? Shouldn't this place have a high security now?
It was evident that the information about them being attacked wasn't here. Moreover, this world wasn't like modern earth, which had the technology to detect such things.
Lucifer was sure that the other nine candidates had already started destroying their territories. Even then, the Royal City had no idea because there was no way to send a ssage here fast.
"Alright. It's because we were forced to leave," Hun answered. "We had no choice but to leave. We ca here and settled here."
"Why? Who could force you? I'm sure it wasn't the Royals. If they had forced you out, then they wouldn't allow you here. Who else could be strong enough? Wait, I think I know..."
"Were there three people?" he asked, thinking of soone. Soone who could force the High Beast Clans... They could only be Baltics if they weren't the Royal Beasts.
"How do you know there were three people?" Hun asked, surprised. "Did you also see them on the way to here? Did you fight them?"
"Technically, yeah. I saw them, and I fought them. Tell what they did?" By now, Lucifer was sure that it was the work of Licia, Jian, and Milen. The three who were sent here by him.
"It happened a few weeks after you left when those three appeared in our city. There was a conflict between the High Beasts and them, but they were very strong. Most of the High Beasts died in the Battles. They declared themselves the ruler of the city."
"They kept saying that they needed a place to stay until they figured out how to go back or sothing. But they didn't want to coexist. They gave us only two options. Either live there under him or leave the city."
"We all chose to leave, and they were left with an abandoned City."
"Hmm? You an those three live in your city now, and they aren't here?"
"They aren't. They have been staying in the city where they appeared as if waiting for sothing," Hun answered. "From what I heard, they haven't left the city, even once."
"I see, so that's where they'll be... That's good. It will be easy then..."
"What will be easy? What are you talking about? Also, you don't answer what brought you here. Hahaha, don't tell you ca to et us. It seems you didn't even know we were living here."
"What will you say if I tell you that I'm here to destroy your world?" Lucifer asked, telling the truth but in the form of a question.
"Hahaha, I'll tell you that it's a great joke. Now be honest and tell why you're actually here. Are you looking for sothing even now? Or you're accidentally here?" Hun asked.
"How is your father?" Lucifer asked, changing the topic. "He must be quite upset at having to leave ho, right? Is he adjusting well to this place?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Hun smiled, stopping before a door. He knocked on the door. The eting was quite similar to how Lucifer was introduced to Hun's father last ti.
After his father told him to co inside, Hun opened the door and sent Lucifer inside first before entering as well.
From outside, Yui and her mother also returned ho.
