Alazar and his sister were also surprised at the sudden reaction of the Star Alliance General.
Although the Star Alliance was weakened and even the Generals that were left alive were the weakest compared to the ones that had been killed, but they shouldn't have been this scared of a young man.
It made them wonder just what was the identity of this person. This kind of fear could only be induced in two situations. One was that of authority and the other was of fear. Was he someone who had a higher position than the General in the Star Alliance? Or was it the latter?
Lucifer looked at the General lying on the ground. He recognised seeing the man in the Star Alliance Headquarters in the past. The man had also given him a gift during his wedding.
As Lucifer stared at the General, memories of their brief interactions appeared in his mind. During that time, the General had been fawning over him, trying to get close to him through gifts. But this same person was part of the group that had hunted him in the past.
"Who is this person? Why are you so scared of him?" The King of Aquarians asked, closing in on the Star Alliance General.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Star Alliance General didn't reply right away. Or rather, his mind was thinking of ways to get out of this place. As soon as the King stepped closer to him, he stood up and rushed out of the Banquet Hall like a coward.
The King was left shocked at this cowardly display but it also showed this fear wasn't the fear of authority. Instead, it was an innate fear. As for who could scare the Star Alliance Leaders so much... After thinking for a moment, he came to a realization.
Alazar also realized it. He hadn't considered the possibility until now, but the more he thought about it, the more plausible it looked.
Such great interest by this person in the portrait, followed by his killing intent towards them, and then talking about the great war and the falsehood of the painting as if he had been there. And lastly frightening the Star Alliance to this extent it all pointed towards the same direction.
"You're the remnant of the Ancient Clan who has been going around destroying worlds?" the Draconian Man asked, his words leaving everyone in the meeting aghast. None had thought that the period would actually come here and stand amidst them.
"He..." The King of Aquarians had also thought of this possibility by now, but he also came to realize the seriousness of this situation.
This man was here and it meant he was here to kill them all. The King couldn't let Lucifer take the lead. While Lucifer was still distracted by Alazar, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
He was the closest to Lucifer thanka to approaching the General of Star Alliance who was lying near Lucifer's feet before. He also had the trident, thanks to the previous incident. He had all he needed to launch a sudden attack and he didn't hesitate either.
In a swift motion, the King lunged forward, aiming his trident directly at Lucifer's exposed back. With all his strength, he plunged the weapon towards his opponent, hoping to catch him off guard.
As the trident pierced through the air, the King's resolve remained unwavering. His killing intent was strong enough to be felt all around the hall.
Everyone saw the Trident pass through Lucifer's chest, blood splashing everywhere. The Trident also had another ability to destroy the body of a person from the inside. Once it passed through the heart, none could be saved. At least that's what the King thought.
Unfortunately, as soon as he impaled Lucifer, his mind became cloudy. In the next moment, he found himself standing back in his place, the Star Alliance General still on the ground. It was as if time had been moved back.
Although time was moved back, everyone who was in the hall, looking at Lucifer, still remembered what had happened in the timeline that was yet to take place. It was as if everyone saw the vision of the next few minutes, akin to being in some dream. Even the Draconians weren't immune to this strange phenomenon.
The Star Alliance General slowly rose to his feet. Before everyone's eyes, he ran out of the hall, just like he did in the past, not realizing that he was doing it for the second time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, Lucifer still remained completely unharmed. It was as if he was a deity that was unaffected by everything that took place around him. However, this time, he didn't stay still.
In the past, he didn't get his hands dirty since it was only a matter of time before the land he walked on was destroyed. But this time, the matter involved the Aquarians... The traitors who had betrayed his family and brought this calamity to them. And now, those same people attacked him once again.
The King held firm in his conviction that he possessed the ability to kill Lucifer. As for the reversal of time, he didn't believe it. Even the Ancient Clan Members couldn't reverse time like that. If they could then their entire clan wouldn't have been wiped. He believed Lucifer used sort of deceptive illusion to deceive them all.
Trying to take advantage of the momentary distraction, the King thrust his trident forward as he propelled himself towards Lucifer. This time, his attack aimed to cleave Lucifer in two, with a forceful swing of his weapon.
The trident sliced through Lucifer, momentarily raising the King's hopes. However, his elation quickly dissipated as he realized that it was merely an afterimage of Lucifer, a mere mirage. Before he could react, a chilling hand wrapped around his throat.
Silenced and immobilized, the King could only endure as his face met the ground with such force that it left a deep crater. Lucifer, well aware of the strength possessed by an Aquarian, deliberately restrained the intensity of his assault.
Bloodied and battered, the King was forcefully lifted by Lucifer, only to be mercilessly slammed back onto the ground, a cruel display of mockery before his subjects. n(/In
Enraged, the King bellowed with fury, vowing to end Lucifer's existence. Nevertheless, his resistance proved feeble, as Lucifer repeatedly pounded him into the floor.
The Draconian, finally unable to stand idly by, interjected with a commanding voice that reverberated through the once-silent hall. "That is enough..."
