Chapter 66 - 66: Lost Lucifer

Most of the cops were already terrified of what they were seeing. They were still trying to be brave enough to fight, but as they heard the words of their Sergeant, they didn't think for a second before they started running away.

They knew that their weapons were useless against this monster, and now that they had permissions, it was better to run. If they stayed, it was only a matter of time before they would be killed.

They started running to their cars, ready to leave while Lucifer was busy with the unlucky cops that were late to run.

The ones that were caught were killed left and right.

Only a few of them had managed to get in cars, though. The ones that entered the car could be counted in one hand. There were only five cops that managed to get inside the car.

They all got in the same car, but before they could even start the car, they saw a person flying towards them.

Lucifer had killed most of the cops that were outside in just a short period, and now he was flying towards the car.

The cops started the car and drove it back. The rain had made the windshield of the car blurry. They couldn't see anything in the front or back. That's why a cop had brought his head out of the window, and he was telling the driver where to go.

"Hurry! He's getting closer!" the cop told the driver.

The car was going in reverse, and the driver had pressed on gas to move the car as fast as he could, but before he could get too far, Lucifer got near them.

Lucifer landed on the bonnet of the car, crushing it. The car's back portion was raised in the air because of the harsh impact.

The car stopped moving back as the car's front wheels were separated and rolled away slowly.

While Lucifer was more focused on the cops, he didn't notice that some of the Red Eagles guild members had started to step back. Most of them had stopped attacking him as they found it ineffective. They wanted to run away instead.

Stepped down from the bonnet of the police car that had stopped, Lucifer walked to the door.

Grabbing the door, he pulled it off the car and threw it towards one of the Red Eagles Guild Members that was still attacking him with water bullets.

The Water Bullets was the ability of the man who was a Mage class Variant. He could form water bullets out of thin air. As for the current scenario, the rain was a perfect atmosphere for him to use his abilities. Unfortunately, the bullets were useless on Lucifer.

It didn't matter if the bullets were made of lead or water. They were all useless against him, at least until his healing ran out. Everyone believed that healing abilities couldn't be used infinitely, just like other abilities couldn't. That's why the people who stayed back still hadn't left. They were still hoping to kill the 'monster' and succeed.

Only some of the Variants had run away, realizing that this was a futile effort.

To Lucifer, even though the attacks hurt a little, he didn't let his attention be diverted. He wanted to be focused on what he was doing first, but that didn't stop him from multitasking.

With his right hand, he kept pulling the cops out of the car and crushing their necks, whereas he used his left hand to fire black lightning bolts towards the Red Eagles Guild Members.

After finishing up with all the men inside the car, he finally turned back as he cracked his knuckles.

"Hmm?"

As he turned back, he was surprised to see that there were a lot fewer people here than he expected to see.

It didn't matter, though. If there were ten here, he was going to kill ten. If there were a thousand here, he was going to kill a thousand.

....

Slaughter... That was what someone would have described what happened next in that place. It was a full-on slaughter caused by someone unstoppable.

The slaughter only lasted for the next twenty minutes before it all ended, and the silence and peace returned. All screams and painful groans had stopped.

Not a single person could be seen standing except Lucifer.

The whole place seemed barren. There were broken buildings and rubble everywhere.

The rain was still continuing. If one was to keep his gaze up, everything seemed to be fine, but if a person stood in that area and lowered their gaze, they could see the entire ground was filled with bodies. The rain was washing the blood of the bodies and mixing with the blood.

The water was mixed with blood; ashes were floating everywhere.

The entire ground seemed to be covered in the bloodied water.

...

As everything was over, Lucifer finally had a chance to breathe. He felt tired as well and extremely hungry, but he didn't mind his hunger. His mind was lost.

He stood there, watching everything blankly. It was a moment of peace where he could finally calm his head. Previously, his head seemed to be filled with only one thought, and that was to kill. All he could think of was killing. The more he killed, the better he felt.

Now that he had killed everyone, he was feeling somewhat empty. There was nothing to do any more here.

He sat down on the ground in the blood-filled water and just blankly looked ahead, trying to gather his thoughts.

Just what was he doing? What exactly was his purpose? Why did he even exist? Many negative thoughts floated in his head as he lost himself in his thoughts.

After a few seconds, he folded his knees and wrapped his arms around them as he rested his head on his knees.

"I miss you, dad... mom... I'm lost without you. Please come back. It's... Scary..."

He kept muttering something softly as water droplets kept falling over him. Sometimes it seemed like he was crying. It was unclear if the water droplets coming out of his eyes were tears or rain droplets.
