960 Chapter 960: Face to face
It wasn’t just the old man back at the ship who was worried about the inaction of the King of the Beasts.
Even Lucifer was slightly confused. By now, he was sure that he had caused more than enough destruction to attract the attention of the King of this world. Despite that, he wasn’t here?
“What is he waiting for?” Even Lucifer wondered. He had already killed many people in this town. Let alone the King, he hadn’t seen even a single Royal Guard up to this point either.
The only Royal Guards he saw were the ones who came to stop him before he began his onslaught.
No matter how strange it was, he could only utilize the situation. In any case, it was only better for him if those people delayed more.
The more he killed with his Decay, the stronger he got. Spending more time on this was better for him.
Previously, he could only use decay by touching the opponent, but after Decay evolved, he was able to use it without even touching the person as long as they were in range. Not only could he take out his enemies this way, but with the evolution, he could also absorb a fraction of their strength which was much more than before.
While Lucifer kept getting closer to the Royal Palace with each passing second, Amelia and Deon had gathered their families. Those two families were the only families that were left alive in that area.
“This is so… Evil!” Deon’s family was horrified at the sight. The streets were covered in blood. Bodies were littered everywhere. “You said your friend was behind this? Just what kind of demon is he?”
“Father, please don’t speak! We should be grateful that he is allowing us to leave this place. I know it looks bad, but I’m sure he must have a reason. So don’t say something we will regret in case he heard!”
Deon didn’t know where Lucifer actually was, but he was really worried. In case he was nearby and heard them, he could just as easily kill them in anger.
“Moreover, the Royal Guards attacked him first. Who wouldn’t get angry? Let’s stop worrying about them and worry about our safety!”
The Golden Rhino Clan reached the temporary mansion that was assigned to the Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Clan was also ready for departure. They had already taken everything they wanted to take.
For everyone present in this place, this was all like a dream.
Even Amelia’s mother couldn’t believe that the person who crashed her daughter’s engagement was now so strong that he could destroy the Royal Capital all alone.
That man… Just what kind of power did he possess? Even she was scared and didn’t feel like she could even look in that man’s eyes.
The two families met up. Both seemed worried and unsure. Even though Lucifer had told them that they were going to survive, they weren’t sure if that was truly the case.
What if he changed his mind later on and killed them? Or what if the formation didn’t work? Or what if it only took one person with it? There were so many questions that they had no answer to.
All they could do was wait…
They didn’t have to wait long either. As soon as the Snow Wolf Clan reached earth, they immediately took help of people around them to ask for the people of the Uprising.
Since the entire world was under Lucifer’s authority now, it wasn’t hard for them to find some help. They were taken to the nearest Uprising branch which was in a government building.

A middle aged man was sitting in an office, going through some documents when he heard knocks on the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened and a well dressed man entered the room. “Sir, there are some people here who claim that they’ve been sent by Lord Lucifer. They claim to be carrying his message that’s to be delivered to Lord Kellian.”
“Lord Kellian? Message from Lord Lucifer? Have you verified their identity? Who are these people?”
“They don’t have any identification. They claim they aren’t from this world and that they’ve been sent here by Lord Lucifer. I believe we should listen to them and convey that message. If it’s really important, we might be in trouble for delaying,” the young man suggested.
The middle aged man also agreed. Even though he was also a member of Uprising that belonged to Lucifer, he was still at the bottom of the ladder. Kellian was the top authority after Lucifer. He couldn’t afford to get on the wrong side of anyone.
“Send them in. We’ll convey his message. If that group is being truthful, then good. But if they aren’t, then I’ll kill them with my own hands for trying to fool us.”
“Yes Sir.” The young man left swiftly.
Within ten minutes, he returned with a group of four. The four people looked similar to humans, but there was definitely some differences. It was clear from first glance that they weren’t entirely humans.
“Are you Kellian?” Hun’s father asked the middle aged man.
“I wish,” the middle aged man signed. “What message do you have for them?”
“I’m already, but I was told to deliver this message to Kellian. And in his absence, to someone named Salazar. I can’t tell more to you.” Hun’s father already told most of the basic things regarding his origin and that he was sent here by Lucifer, but he didn’t tell the entire message.
“Fine. I’ll connect to Lord Kellian,” the middle aged man didn’t force him either. If these people were really close to Lucifer, he needed to be careful. He had seen just how strong Lucifer was. There was no one in this world who didn’t know about the Leader of the Uprising.
He pressed a button on the phone that was placed on the table and placed it on the speaker.
Ring~
Ring~
As the phone rang, no one in the room said anything.
After some time, the phone was picked up.
“Yes?”
“Connect me to Lord Kellian. There is someone here who claims that he was sent by Lord Lucifer with a message for Lord Kellian.”
“Alright. I’m connecting you…” The operator didn’t waste much time either. Generally, not many people were allowed to contact Kellian who was at the absolute top of the hierarchy at the moment, but when it was about Lucifer, everything was allowed.
****
Back in his room, Kellian was standing near the window, looking outside at the clear sky. Tristan and Salazar were also in the room.
“It’s been so long since he left. I wonder if he’s fine. I hope they haven’t done anything to him…” Kellian let out a deep sigh.
“Don’t worry. You know our little boss. We all know how strong he is,” Tristan responded. “I don’t believe anyone will be able to harm him. If anything, he should be having fun there. I’m sure he’ll be back soon. We can’t lose hope, can we?”
Salazar was also about to speak something but before he could, the phone started ringing.
Kellian walked to the phone, putting it on speaker. “Whoever it is, tell them I’m busy. I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.”
“Sir, I’m afraid I must tell you the reason first. It’s related to Lord Lucifer,” the operator answered before listening to Kellian’s command. He was sure that after knowing who it was about, there was no way Kellian was going to do the same thing.
“About Lucifer? What do you mean?”
Tristan and Salazar were both immediately interested as well.
“One of our members from Syin city called us. He told us that there are some people who claim to be from the Snow Wolf Clan. They say they were sent to this world by Lord Lucifer and that they have a message for you from him. They are asking for permission to connect,” the operator explained what he had heard.
“The Snow Wolf Clan?!” Salazar exclaimed, remembering when was the last time he heard that name. “Don’t tell me Lucifer is in the World of Summons already?”
“Put them through,” Kellian instructed the operator.
As soon as the call was through, Kellian didn’t even wait for the other side to speak anything. He directly asked for the message since he believed these people weren’t lying.
“Before that, can I ask what all your names are?” Salazar stepped forward with a question of his own.
The entire snow wolf clan identified themselves. Hearing those names, Salazar was finally convinced that these people were the same.
“Hun, Yui. I should say welcome to our world. Don’t worry, we’re sending someone to bring you to us. Last time you took care of us in your homes. This time, it’s our turn.”
“Who is it?” Hun asked.
“I’m Salazar. Don’t tell me you forgot me. Anyway, before we talk about the past, hurry and tell us the message! What did Lucifer say? Is he really in your World at the moment?”
