Chapter 967: Why would you?
967 Chapter 967: Why would you?
The Doors of the Royal Chamber opened, revealing the beautiful queen who was sitting on the Main Throne.
On each side of the room, the Generals of the Star Alliance were sitting. There was not a single Captain Ranked Member in the hall. Moreover, Lucifer could also see that some Generals were missing. There were fewer people than there were when he was initially brought here after being arrested.
Lucifer hadn't even stepped inside, but he could already feel extreme killing intent which was targeted toward him.
It didn't take Lucifer long to realize where it was coming from since he could already see the bloodlust in one of the General's eyes.
It was an old man who appeared to be in his late fifties, despite being much older. The man had beautiful white hair, but his eyes were somewhat similar to Mander's eyes. This man was clearly her grandfather.
Lucifer took his first step inside the majestic hall, but as soon as he placed one foot inside, he felt extremely suppressed. It was a mysterious force that was trying to push him down to his knees.
With this kind of force acting on him, anyone else would've already been on their knees, but Lucifer was still standing, albeit with some struggle.
Looking around, he could see that this force was only acting on him and not on Raayi and Ron. It was specially targeted at him.
He glared at the Rasin Clan Patriarch, who occupied a General's post in Star Alliance. This was clearly his doing. He was trying to provoke him. However, why wasn't the Queen acting? That was the question in Lucifer's head.
He had heard quite a few stories about how capable the Star Alliance Queen was. There was no way she didn't know he was being targeted by this strange pressure. However, she didn't even react and completely ignored it.
'If you all think this is enough, then let me show you what I can do as well...'
Being the only one who was targeted by the Rasin Clan Patriarch was one thing, but being completely ignored was another, which was making him angry. If he could be targeted at a place like this, was the Star Alliance really that reliable?
He decided to take things into his own hands.
The Old man who was targeting Lucifer expected him to drop to his knees right away. However, even he was surprised to see that Lucifer was still standing tall. It was clear that he was under pressure, but he didn't fall to his knees. The old man couldn't understand how a kid could stand despite his pressure.
'Good, very good! You're quite capable! No wonder you were able to kill my Grandson! But if you think you can stand before me, you're really underestimating me!'
The old man increased his pressure on Lucifer. Even the other Generals knew what was happening, but they also ignored it.
The pressure on Lucifer was so much now the pressure made a crater appear under him. Despite that, he was still standing. With the crater around, even the other Generals couldn't pretend not to see anything.
They were about to ask the old man of Rasin Clan to stop, but before they could, something even stranger happened!
Lucifer started walking! Not only was he able to stand under this pressure, but he was also able to walk? Was he really that strong?
The Queen just watched what was happening, quite amused. Seeing Lucifer not only stand but also walk, she was even more interested in him.
Initially, Lucifer didn't react in the face of the pressure, but when the old man increased it, even Lucifer felt as if he couldn't stand for long. He had to take action.
He had just taken Licia's domain and merged it into his own spatial skill, making both of them stronger. Thanks to that, he was able to cast a Domain around him. It was like he was in a different realm altogether. Even the mysterious pressure couldn't pass through his barrier.
Since it was a Spatial Barrier, most of them couldn't even see it. Some of them did feel a spatial disturbance around them though.
This was just the first step. Even though the Administrator told him to not fall for provocation, that wasn't his nature. Lucifer had only learned of one way to deal with Provocations, and that was to pay it back in full!
Protecting himself was just the first part of his payback. The next part was something even more fun. Lucifer cast a similar spatial domain around the old man who was targeting him. It was as if their Spatial Surroundings had shifted, even though they were still in the same place.
The pressure that the old man sent for Lucifer acted on him. Meanwhile, the calm surroundings of the old man were acting on Lucifer.
The old man was infuriated to find Lucifer walking casually despite his pressure.
He stood up in anger. He didn't even care about being subtle in his targeting anymore and increased the pressure at the peak, not even realizing that Lucifer had already switched the realms around them.
The old man targeted Lucifer with his strongest suppression. Unfortunately, that level of suppression only returned back to him with increased force.
Since the old man wasn't expecting something like that, he was suddenly caught in his own suppression.
Thud~
The old man dropped to his knees as another Crater appeared, but this time it was under him.
He wanted to bring Lucifer to his knees, but instead, it was he who was forced to his knees. The old man couldn't believe it. How was it possible? The young man used his own attack on him?
He was furious.
"You!" The old man stood up, but right around that time, the sound of a slow clap resounded in the surrounding area.
Not only the old man but even Lucifer was surprised. Someone was clapping?
Everyone looked toward the throne, noticing that it was the queen herself who was clapping, quite impressed with the skills and bravery of Lucifer.
"My Bloodline is special. It helps me awaken new abilities with time. Just like lightning that Ron uses," 19:43
Lucifer answered. "It's all random."
"That was a good display, young man," she complimented Lucifer. "The skill that you used was certainly very interesting. If I'm not wrong, that has the essence of Baltics. May I ask how you learned that skill?"
Lucifer was quite surprised that the woman was able to sense that, even though he merged that with his own skills as well. Then again, it wasn't hard to explain to him.
"My Bloodline is special. It helps me awaken new abilities with time. Just like lightning that Ron uses," Lucifer answered. "It's all random."
"Hmm? Lightning of our clan?" Ron's grandfather asked, quite surprised. Was it true that the young man could use the abilities of their clan? Even he found it hard to believe.
"That's right, Gramps. He used the Black Lightning, and he wasn't bad at it either. Just not on our level," Ron confirmed. "I even invited him to our Clan as a guest."
"Sigh, this child..." Ron's grandfather sighed. He was sure that Ron knew the trouble that Lucifer had attracted. Despite that, he invited the kid? If he said no now, it was going to look like his clan was scared of the Rasin Clan.
"Since you already invited him, then he can come. But before that, can he show me the Black Lightning so I can be sure if it's actually the same?" The old man asked.
Lucifer didn't wait for Ron to ask him. He directly created a small bolt of lightning. For now, he needed allies, and Ron's clan had the potential of being one. Moreover, he wanted to learn more on how to use this Lightning in even meow powerful spells, and for that, he needed their help.
"I also invited him to our clan," Raayi also stepped forward, informing her grandfather.
Her grandfather's jaws dropped. Was this even possible? His granddaughter, who didn't even take interest in any boy all her life was finally inviting a boy to her home? Just what happened in the Trials that Lucifer killed Mander and became so close with Raayi and Ron?
Not only that, but according to their information, he was also the winner who was to be promoted.
"Enough! How dare you attack me!" His grandchild was killed, and all these people were being friendly with the kid? Rasin Clan Patriarch couldn't believe it!
Fortunately, he now had an excuse to attack Lucifer. No matter what the circumstances, Lucifer had attacked a General! He could use this opportunity!
"I attacked you? When?" Lucifer asked ignorantly. "Why would I dare attack a General? I just cast a spell around me that reflects all attacks. If General Rasin was attacked, does that mean you had attacked me and were caught by that reflection?"
"But that doesn't make sense. Why would a brave General attack a Kid like me in the Royal Court when I'm not even a Captain yet? Isn't that right?"
