"Release him."
The Draconians voice echoed with authority, demanding immediate obedience.
Lucifer paused for a moment, his grip on the King's throat remaining firm. He glanced towards the Draconian, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity.
"What makes you think I will listen to you?" Lucifer's voice was filled with lack of concern, his grip tightening even more as he prepared to deliver the final blow.
The Draconian remained calm and composed, unruffled by Lucifer's defiance.
"Because that's the only path for your survival. If you don't stop, you'll follow the same path as your ancestors." As he spoke, his eyes briefly glanced towards the portrait as if he was reminding Lucifer what had happened in the past.
The Draconians were the part of the main force that had attacked the Ancient Clan. Although Alazar hadn't taken part in that war, but his ancestors were greatly involved in the battle. They had personally killed many Ancient Clan Members, burning them to ashes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Draconian took a step forward, his majestic stature exuding an air of authority. "If you want to live, release the King, and you shall live longer.""
"The only reason I still keep you alive is because I want some answers from you. I'm curious about how you managed to survive the war against the Ancient Clan. Don't make me kill you before I get my answers!"
A beautiful dark fire started around Alazar's wings as his aura spread out, bringing almost everyone in the hall and the underwater Kingdom to their knees.
The only person who wasn't down on their knees was Lucifer.
"A war?" Lucifer couldn't help but laugh, albeit in a mocking manner. "You call that a war when you attacked my family like a coward in the darkness of night when they were celebrating a happy day? How kind of you..."
He still remembered how everyone was inside the Mansion celebration. Not a single person was guarding the Domain as no one in the clan expected someone to attack them like that.
Calling it a war rather than stabbing someone in the back? He found that switch to be pitiful as well as laughable.
"A downfall that was caused by these traitors..." Lucifer released his grip, making a bloodied King Dall to the ground. n-/In
Seeing Lucifer free the King, Alazar couldn't help but look down on Lucifer inwardly. This act had proven that Lucifer was a coward. But it also proved that he was wise enough to know what was best for him.
"Good decision," he spoke with a smile on his face. He had found the remnant of the Ancient Clan. He could only imagine what benefits he was going to get when he took Lucifer back to his clan. But only was he going to get all the answers to his questions about the ancient war, but he could also be rewarded by his father who was the current Clan Head.
Alazar was already looking towards the future when he heard a loud thud. Blood splattered everywhere as a foot had suddenly fallen on the skull of the heavily injured King.
As the King's skull exploded under Lucifer's stomp, blood splashed all around the hall, including on the face of Alazar, his sister and other guests in the hall who couldn't even stand under Alazar's pressure.
"You!" Alazar's entire body burned in dark flames. The dirty blood around his face evaporated into mist. His eyes locked onto Lucifer, a primal rage emitting from his being.
Without hesitation, Alazar unleashed a powerful surge of energy, propelling himself with unstoppable force, towards Lucifer, his hands changing into dragon-like claws.
Alazar's eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity as he unleashed a torrent of Dark Dragon Flames, their searing heat scorching the surrounding water.
Meanwhile his sister created a Flame Shield to protect herself and the others who had survived. She didn't even think about helping her brother as she believed in his strength. She even thought that the battle was going to be over in an instant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucifer, undeterred by the ferocious attack, stood in his ground. Although he had stopped caring about the battles, it was different when it came to people that were directly involved in killing his clan members with their own hands.
But this time, he wanted to lose control. He wanted to beat Alazar to his death. He wanted to destroy Alazar like his clan was destroyed and then to take Alazar's lifeless body to his clan!
The biggest problem with the hidden clans was that their locations were unknown. But even if he killed Alazar, he had the Draconian woman to guide him to their base. He didn't have to leave the man alive!
Lucifer's lightning danced through the water as a majestic lightning Armor appeared around him. With his Lightning Core destroyed, he found only the mysterious energy core that was the only thing he had left.
However, during this time, he had realized that although unreliable, he could use the unknown core to use his old abilities.
The new lightning Armor was created using the new core, which made it appear different than it used to look in the past. It looked a lot darker, as if it was the darkness of night.
If in the past, his lightning Armor was like the scariest lightning being condensed into an Armor, then now his Armor appeared like a sentient shadow, with an intimidating aura and a life of its own.
A long dark robe also appeared around his shoulders, flowing with an ethereal energy that seemed to absorb any light that touched it.
The Ocean that had been silent for such a long time now roared with powerful waves crashing against each other, as if it had awoken from a deep slumber.
Before long, two figures appeared to be flying out of the ocean, appearing high in the sky, their speed so fast that it was almost impossible to even see their shadows with the naked eyes.

Far away from the world, the Star Alliance General who had escaped from the Royal Palace appeared in the Starship circling the aquatic world. His expressions were dark, yet an evil smirk remained on his lips as he rushed to the control room.
