Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 388 - 381: Lucifer's Return

Alex's group continued to travel toward the demon continent. Currently, they arrived in a city known for welcoming couples and family on vacation, Blue Ivy, the coastal city. Also known for its Hot springs like the one in the Far East Empire, most people visit this town at least because of the Hot springs and Alex's group wasn't an exception, they could have chosen a detour, however, they didn't, this could mean they want to take a short rest here. 

Entering the town that looks like a mixture of modern buildings and traditional buildings like Tokyo, Alex and the group when to the best Inn Blue Ivy had to offer, The Rising Jade Inn, a five floors pagoda.

They booked two rooms on the highest floors, and naturally, this Inn has its own hot springs.

After entering their rooms, they decided to take a rest before visiting the hot springs later.

•••••

~ Demon's continent, the throne room.

''Damn you, Julius.'' 

Crack! BANG! 

In the throne room in the depth of the demon continent, a heavy atmosphere weighed on all those present as they kneeled, their forehead against the ground.

Even though their face was covered in sweat, no one even dared to move in order to wipe it out.

They knew that with what happened, it wouldn't be surprising if Lucifer, known for his short temper, decided to take the head of everyone currently present.

Lucifer wanted to improve his standing within the organization; it was why he volunteered to take care of Avalon's ultimate shield; he believes he had a chance.

The plan's premise was simple, first open up a path for the organization numbers to infiltrate the capital and retrieve one of the keys; everything should have worked fine because he made sure of it. 

Most importantly, for the next war, there must acquire this key, timing is the key, but now all failed.

Just thinking about the shame or the extent of his current wrath and shame was enough to make them lower their heads even more. 

They even wished they could completely bury their heads in the ground. They had promised to succeed in this mission as Lucifer tried to conquer that dungeon, as he couldn't personally go down even with his suppressed level, Lucifer chose to supervise, to search, no train talent to go down and get what he wanted, so he was busy, he left the task of the ultimate shield to one of his men to handle.

"Who was the fool who told me that that he could complete the mission!?"

None of them dared to step forward.

"I said… Who!?"

*ROAR*

The heaviness in the air became almost physical as the ground itself began to crack and splinter. 

The roar was so loud that some of the servants had their eardrums burst and blood flow from their ears. Despite this, neither the servants nor the officials kneeling in front of the emperor complained. Lucifer's right-hand man stood beside him with a shield deployed around him; he had wished to be the one to take care of the plan; however, Lucifer wanted him beside him, so he complied.

Finally, one of them, a demon with a goat-like horn, raised his head and advanced toward Lucifer while still kneeling before lowering his head once again.

"I am terribly sorry, your majesty! This whole situation is my fault! I should have reevaluated the situation more after the first failure."

"I see. Then, how will you repent?"

At this question, the demon with goat-like horn once again raised the upper part of his body and said with a quivering face.

"I pray you, your majesty, bestow death to me. But on account of all the service I accomplished, spare my family!!"

At the demon's words, Lucifer's purple eyes turned dark, his face contorted.

"Oh? Are you giving me orders?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"I see. Then do not worry. I am a man of parole. Your family will be safe."

"I sincerely thank you for your benevolence."

Once he said so, he stretched his right hand and received a long curved black sword from the hand of a servant before placing the edge of the blade against the left side of his neck.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, then using his other left hand, he hit the blade with all his strength.

*Splash*

Blood spurted as his head fell, followed by his powerless body.

All the retainers shivered, but none moved. They were already used to such scenes. At Lucifer being merciless, the man slaughtered his own family; from this, you could see how cruel he is. 

Looking expressionlessly at the blood staining the ground, Lucifer finally spoke; his words sent shivers down to those kneeling spines.

''Does this man has a mistress and twins?" Lucifer asked.

''I-I think he did.'' 

Answered one of a kneeling man, he was shaking, he knew what was about to come next would not be pleasant and indeed he was right.

''Good, kill them all, I will live his main lineage alive, I'm such benevolent being.'' Lucifer's order was absolute. 

''As you wish.'' 

Responded one of the kneeling men before disappearing to complete Lucifer's order; the remaining men were left kneeling while shivering; they prayed for Lucifer's madness to stop there if not, they may all lose their heads alongside their family slaughtered. 

Glancing at the shivering men, Lucifer snorted.

"You are dismissed. And someone! Come take this corpse away and clean this filthy blood."

Everyone except for Lucifer's right-hand man left the throne room. 

''Tell me, have you succeed in locating my sister? Has she left the empire yet?" 

''We are still searching, although she tried to make us believe she was still inside the empire I believe she left around two weeks ago, as for where she currently at, what she looks like we have no clue.'' the man in purple dragon robe answered.

''I see; keep your guard up. Knowing Lilith, she will try to sabotage our plan; we must succeed; you know how vital this is for the next step.'' Lucifer said, arms crossed at his back.

''Don't worry, we will.''

''You can go. Tell the vampire duchess that I wish to see her.'' Lucifer said to the retreated man; he bowed and left. 

''I must get that thing to become more stronger. I will rule over everything.'' 

Black aura burst out from Lucifer's body, instantly turning the throne hall dark his body bristling with sparks of dark lightning, he looked like a beast ready to shred everything to pieces
