The World of Summons... It was a world where Lucifer had been to before. Appearing in the same world once again, breathing in the same air that was filled with the same old familiar scent, it all made Lucifer remember the last time he was here.
Lucifer stood right outside the Royal City. He looked up, gazing at the clear sky above. There were no signs of any ship being above. Even though he knew there was one where he came from.
As Lucifer was sent here, he didn't know what the people on the ships were seeing or how they were going to measure just how many people each of them was killing, but just to be safe, he considered the possibility that they could see if.
Just to be sure as to what the old man was seeing, he intentionally left a shadow of his own back on the ship even though he wasn't sure if it was going to be of help.
He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to connect to his shadows from this distance.
It was also just as he expected. Standing in this world, he couldn't even feel his Shadow, despite being stronger than before.
"It doesn't work. I'll just have to consider that they can see everything. I'll have to be careful..."
He created hundreds of shadows, sending them in different directions. He sent half his shadows to the Royal City straight ahead to see just how many people they had. He also wanted his shadows to locate his three targets.
Right before his last battle with the Dungeon Dweller's ruler, Licorice, he had to fight his three generals. One of the three generals was Licia, who was able to create and control space around her. She was the hardest opponent to defeat among the three Generals. The second was Azurel, who had incredible strength, and the third was Milan.
At that time, he had taken the Warlock Council Leader Jian with him. Jian had started fighting Milen while Lucifer was about to face the other two. He had even managed to kill Azurel, leaving only Licia for him to face, but before things could progress, Jian appeared with Milen, siding with them.
Once again, the battle turned to three against one. Having no choice but to save some time, Lucifer created the same Summoning zone, which sent all his enemies to the world of Summons, trapping there.
It was only after that, he went to have Licorice and even managed to kill him, thanks to the incredible yet temporary strength he received, which belonged to the Mysterious Inhuman.
Last time, he had avoided a battle against Jian, Licia, and Milen, but now that he was here, those three were the first ones he wanted to kill, and he also had a reason for that. He didn't want the Star Alliance to find out about the Licia and Milen, who were the only two living Baltics.
He knew that through them, the Star Alliance could find out that he had lied. After the three main targets, he sent more shadows to locate the mysterious sword, which had the last stone that he needed.
He had a strong feeling that both were in the Royal City as there was no way Licia and Jian were going to stay in a small city.
Despite being sure that his targets were in the Royal City, he sent the other half of his shadows in different directions as he wanted to look for someone else as well.
When he last came here, there were more people who helped him, and one of the most devoted ones amongst them was Hun, who was a High Beast.
Hun was a part of the Snow Wolf family. Lucifer still remembered how much Hun helped him, treating him no less than a brother.
Initially, Lucifer had lied to Hun, telling him that he was also a High Lord from a distant city to get some information, but with time, their bond had changed. Even Salazar was impressed with Hun.
Even if the entire world had to be destroyed, he wanted to save Hun and his family, which helped him a lot in the process.
Lucifer sent his other shadows to locate that city. Even though he was sure that the city was near the Royal City, he still wanted to know exactly where. He didn't know which direction it was from here and if it was actually in his Domain or not.
He also remembered that there was one more person in the city who had initially helped him, but he didn't want to think about that person, who was none other than Amelia, who was from the Phoenix Clan.
He had literally broken into her wedding venue to help her, only to get a rejection. He kept his entire focus on the Snow Wolves. Still, he had also decided to help Amelia, justifying his decision with actual logic.
Amelia was the contracted Summon of his mother. He didn't want her mother to lose her Summon, which she had bonded with as a Summoner
In his mind, he was helping his mother by helping Amelia. Moreover, through Amelia, he could also send a message to his mother and the others that he was fine and going to be back soon.
Instead of running anywhere blindly, he let his shadows do his job for him as he waited to receive the information. Instead of being hasty and fast, he wanted to be more efficient this time.
"Huh, what?" His shadows had just entered the Royal City when Lucifer received his first shock.
It hadn't even been five minutes since he created his shadows when he saw Amelia! Amelia was inside the Royal City as well. Moreover, she looked really pale, as if her sickness was increasing.
In another part of the city, another one of his Shadows also found the Snow Wolf Clan!
Hun was also inside the city with his mother and his father. His little sister Yui was also there.
"Why are they all here instead of being in their city? This doesn't make sense."
