All the guards who had accompanied Huang here were dead now.
The people in the distance who had gathered to watch the spectacle of a family being harassed were still alive, but even they were quite horrified as they saw what had just happened.
Just who was this young man that didn't hesitate even a second before killing the guards of the Royal Family? Not only did he kill them, he even threatened Prince Huang.
The people couldn't help but wonder if Lucifer had gone crazy with all this. Even Hun's family was stunned to their cores.
Lucifer didn't care what these people were thinking about him, but he certainly cared about his mission. Now that he had already started, he couldn't hold back. He was here to kill as many people as he could, and this was where it all started. The fact that the Baltics weren't here only made things easier for him.
"Y-you! Do you know what you just did?" Huang stepped back, feeling a chill run down his spine as he watched all his guards being killed. He didn't even know how Lucifer killed his guards in the first place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust to be safe, he cast a barrier around him to protect himself from the invisible attacks. He didn't know how Lucifer attacked them, but he didn't want to make the same mistake as the others did. He took safety precautions right from the start. As important as it was to destroy anyone who opposed them, it was just as important to protect themselves.
After casting a barrier around himself, the young Prince finally calmed down. The barrier he used was something that even his father couldn't break without putting in a significant effort. There was no way Lucifer could break it.
"Oh?" Lucifer could see the barrier and could also feel some great strength coming from it. The barrier was certainly strong.
Just to test the limits of the barrier, he used another Wind Blade, but even the Wind Blade couldn't pass through the barrier.
"As I said before, even you can't break my Barrier. Also, it seems you still haven't realized just what a mistake you had committed by attacking us. You've just signed your death sentence by attacking me. The Royal Palace should already have information about what happened here!"
Huang was as confident as he could be, especially since he knew that a power backup was coming for him from the Royal Palace. Since he was in a hurry, he only brother the soldiers who were patrolling the city with him.
He believed that just these guards were going to be enough since no one was going to dare stand against him. Unfortunately, that's where Lucifer came in, creating this mess. But now, he had actually called for the real firepower of the Royal Palace.
He already sent information of this to the Captain of the Royal Guards.
The Royal Guards of the Palace were in an entirely different league than the Royal Guards who were patrolling the city.
Lucifer rubbed the back of his neck, glancing in the direction of the Castle. If the Royal Guards were actually coming, he didn't care much about himself. He could easily take care of himself with all that was at his disposal, but there were still some people that he wanted to protect. He didn't want them to become collateral damage in everything else.
That's also why he wanted to send them to another place before he started his assault.
"Alright. If they're coming, I'll wait for them." Lucifer didn't attack the young Prince anymore. He just walked to Hun's father and helped him up before telling all of them to get back inside the castle.
Hun's father knew that it was too late for them to even apologize to the Royal Family, but still, he didn't want Lucifer and his family to get caught in this mess.
"I'll hold them back. Take my family and get out of the city." Hun's father insisted, only for Lucifer to reject the proposal.
"Do as I said."
Hun's father didn't know why, but he felt beneath Lucifer for some reason. He couldn't get himself to say no. Lucifer had become too strong for him now. But could he really defeat the Royal Guards of the Palace? The Royal Guards were truly in a different league as the group consisted of the strongest of the High Beasts in the Royal City.
Lucifer took Hun's entire family with him inside the mansion and closed the door once again, leaving the young prince stunned. Was this guy really so stupid that even after knowing that Royal Guards were coming, he decided to hide inside a mansion that could easily be destroyed instead of running away?
Huang's lips curved, forming a smirk. "This guy… I would crush his skull myself."
He didn't chase after Lucifer inside the mansion. He just waited outside for the arrival of his Royal Guards. He didn't dare remove his barrier either since he didn't want to fall in case this was a scheme of Lucifer to make him remove all his protection.
The people who were watching the scene were also sure that Lucifer was scared. That could be the only reason why he didn't attack anymore and instead retreated inside the mansion.
Most of them even started laughing at Lucifer for acting up so much, only to later get scared after hearing the name of the Royal Guards of the Palace.
If they were eager to see an interesting scene play out before, they were even more eager since now; they were going to see an arrogant kid being thrashed by the Royal Guards.
The news about what happened started spreading out in the nearby areas, reaching more and more people with time. Wherever heard what happened only said one thing, "This stupid guy will surely be dead."
The news even managed to reach the Phoenix Clan, who was also taking shelter in the Royal City. Unfortunately, the Phoenix Clan didn't know that the person in question was none other than Lucifer, and the Clan which was being harassed was the Snow Wolf Clan.
