Chapter 593 - 593: The Coffin

"You're right, it seems. Our academy is already the weakest in the precinct. I thought we could at least take care of the Triton rat, but maybe I overestimated us. I'll contact the cit-"

Boom~

Before the old man could even finish his sentence, a bolt came breaking the roof, crashing right on his head, killing him on the spot.

His burnt body dropped to the ground.

Even Lucifer hadn't known that one of his thousands of bolts could actually fall so accurately on a target he didn't even know about. His luck worked out as he took out the leader of this academy without even realizing it.

"Dean!" Jane ran to the deal, realizing that it was too late already.

The Dean was also taken out. In the entire academy, she was the only person left in authority. All the teachers were Dead, including the Dean.

Another lightning bolt came crashing in the same room, falling mere inches away from Jane.

Jane looked at the hole on the ground as the bolt didn't stop on this floor and kept going down.

She held her head as she started walking back and forth. "What should I do now! Only Dean had the authority to contact the city! Without that, we're like sitting ducks. God, we just had to offend this demon?! How is the Triton Variant so strong!"

"We thought Variants were weak! Heck, what am I even thinking! Of course, Variants are weak! Before the advancement of Atlantis Royals, Variants are nothing!"

"We humans can take them out easily! It's not that they're stronger than Atlantis! It's just that they're stronger than us!"

"Ah, what should I do? Try to run? But all the students will be in danger. Stay back? I'll be killed. And if I answer him, he'll kill me even then to not leave any evidence behind! I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!"

"If only I were a teacher in the Academies at the Capital! I wouldn't be in this mess! I just had to be a part of this third-grade academy where defense can't even stop this measly Variant?"

Even though the AC in the room was still running, her forehead was covered in sweat. She couldn't understand how to deal with the situation safely.

She wasn't alone though. The entire academy was under attack. Alarms were beeping as the Power supplies were also taken out. The academy shifted to the backup power to keep itself running.

The Barrier that had appeared around the academy was also shattered, unable to offer even a shred of resistance.

Lucifer stood in mid-air, looking down at the academy like a god. He wasn't going to ask any more questions. He had already asked many times! Now he was going to leave it to them to answer on their own.

Explosions took place left and right. There was no structure that was left intact in the academy. The bolts weren't just falling in the academy. Some were falling around them in random places as well.

Lucifer had no target at the moment. He stopped controlling the bolts and let them choose their targets on their own.

However, he hadn't realized something. He hadn't realized that one such bolt was going to change his destiny forever...

Tens of stray bolts had fallen around the academy on barren ground. Amongst the thousands of bolts, no one cared for these tens of bolts.

However, one such stray bolt had just left the clouds... Falling ten kilometers away from the academy.

The bolt penetrated the ground, leaving a hole in it. However, unlike the other unremarkable places, this place was different.

As the bolt left a hole in its wake, it was revealed that there was a room underground.

Inside the room, there was a coffin lying in the middle. The bolt had exactly fallen in the center of that coffin, disappearing in the end.

Seconds turned to minutes, and nothing happened. The coffin remained in its original position, however after the sixth minute passed, something changed.

A pale yellow wave of energy came from the coffin, looking very destructive in nature.

It kept destroying everything in its path. The ground blew apart. Grass disintegration and stones were crushed.

The energy wave was so fast that before Lucifer could even realize what was happening, the energy wave hit him and the others. It took only a second to travel close to ten kilometers to hit the group.

Lucifer's entire focus was on the academy, making the effect of this energy wave even worse.

His body flew uncontrollably, shooting towards the distance. The same thing happened with Salazar and Jenilia, who were more hurt instead.

Salazar slowed down the time for him to protect himself as much as he could, including his own fall. He managed to slow down the damage.

Moreover, his Cardigan Particle overcoat also decreases the damage to some extent, keeping him alive. Despite that, his back was mostly burnt. At least he survived though.

On the contrary, Jenilia was much worse again.?She neither had the protection of the Cardigan Particles nor an idea on how to protect herself in this situation since it was so sudden.

She could only watch the energy wave pass through her eyes, destroying most of her body. She started falling.

Lucifer gained his senses after flying uncontrollably. He gathered his momentum and turned back, watching Salazar fall. Jenilia was also falling, but half her body was already destroyed. Her lifeless eyes were closed as well.

"Argh!"

He raised his left hand, casting a barrier before him. At the same time, he used his winds to stabilize Salazar and Jenilia in the air. The fall was even more damaging from that height after all.

In the meantime, the Energy Wave also reached the academy, destroying it even more than it was already destroyed.

The front half of the academy completely disappeared before the energy wave actually disappeared.

Half the academy and most of the students were killed because of the Energy Wave, as their quarters were in the front half of the academy. The Academic Block was in the back.

And at the end of the academy was the room of the Dean where Jane was standing.

She was looking at all the devastating scenes of destruction.

"Such a monster! He doesn't even care about where he is! He actually killed all the innocent students as well! Atlantis will never forgive Triton!" Jane crushed, clenching her fist.

She didn't know that it wasn't the work of Lucifer at all.

Lucifer flew back towards Salazar. "Are you alright?"

"Argh, I think I'll survive," Salazar responded, not showing the immense pain he was under. "On the other hand, she...."
