Chapter 957 957: Rise Of The Fallen

"Arghh!" The Captain of the Guards couldn't even react to protect himself as Lucifer caught his wrist.
Lucifer's decay started taking effect. With time, his decay had only gotten powerful. Even though he could let out work without even touching things directly, but when he used direct touch, the effect was only more powerful.
Within a fraction of a second, the screams of the Captain of the Guards stopped as he turned to fist.
"You bastard!" The other Guards were going crazy to watch their captain being killed. Since they couldn't get close to him, they prepared for long-range attacks, only to have Lucifer grab the young Prince by his collar, bringing him forward like a shield.
"You shameless man! Using a person as a shield? Are you even a warrior?"
"I don't need to be a warrior for what I'm about to do next," Lucifer answered. "I've already wasted too much of my time. It's time I clean things up here as well. You see, it's not easy when your opponents have thousands in the lead."
The sky started turning darker. The Dark Clouds covered the entire city, leaving not even an inch that was unaffected.
"Leave the Prince, and we'll give you an easy death!" One of the Guards issued a threat.
"It seems you're misunderstanding your positions here. You aren't the ones giving anyone death here because that'll only leave fewer people for me. So leave that to me."
Now that the Snow Wolf Clan was left, Lucifer didn't care much about anything else. He didn't need to hold back anymore.
For a second, the entire sky flashed brightly, following which a roar of lightning was heard.
Thousands of Lighting Bolts fell from the sky as if giving the Divine Punishment to the citizens of this city.
Most of the lightning bolts fell on houses, bringing them crashing down and destroying anyone inside. If possible, Lucifer wanted to avoid all the Bloodshed, but in this situation, it wasn't possible. He had to kill them if he wanted to protect his life in the future. These people were already dead, after all.
"This..." The large scale attack stunned everyone. They had never seen an attack of this range that was so destructive. Even the Royal Guards couldn't stay unfazed at the sight of this attack.f𝗿e𝙚𝙬ℯ𝚋n𝚘ν𝗲l. 𝐜𝐨𝗺
"I-is this your doing?" One of them asked, stuttering.
"This is just the beginning," Lucifer answered as another assault came from the sky, this time targeting a different place.
"We can't stay idle! If we don't stop him, he will destroy the entire city!"
"But he has Prince Huang hostage. What can we do?"
"We can't sacrifice the entire city for Prince Huang, can we?" The Guards were getting uneasy watching all this distraction, especially since they couldn't take any action themselves because of Huang being taken as captive.
"You're right! We need to do something about it!" As the destruction intensified, more and more Royal Guards agreed that they needed to stop it, even if they needed to sacrifice the Prince. They didn't have much time to go back and consult either.
If anything, they could make up a story that the enemy killed the Prince. They were going to get punished for that, but it was better than losing the entire city.
The Royal Guards didn't hesitate any longer.
"You idiots, what are you doing? You want to kill me?" Huang couldn't believe that his guards were going to attack even him. Did they lose their minds?
"I command you to stop right away!" He commanded his man, only to have his command fall on deaf ears.
"You were quite slow. I thought you would give up on him much sooner," Lucifer commented as if he was already expecting them to eventually attack. What was more surprising was that he was allowed to kill so many before they even took action.

Back in the Star Alliance ship, there was a list on the screen which showed the names of all ten participants in the final events.
It was showing the scores of everyone in this event. At the top, there was Raayi, with over thirty thousand being killed. The second spot was taken by Ron, who has killed over twenty-five thousand.
As for Lucifer, he was ranked last, having killed only twenty people.
"This guy... Just what is he doing? Is he on a picnic? At this rate, he can't win. Let alone win; it'll be surprising if he isn't last. It seems he isn't taking it seriously. Sigh, and even after I told him so much about the importance of winning..."
"I agree. It's like he doesn't even have the intention to win. I think Raayi is going to win at this rate. The only competition is between her and Ron. It seems that Lucifer is already out of the race," another man agreed.
"This was certainly disappointing." The old man stood up. "Keep an eye on the scores. I'm going to my room to rest."
"Yes, Sir." The man affirmed.
"Huh, what the hell?" At around the same time, a shocked voice filled the entire room.
The old man was already at the door when he stopped and turned around. "What happened?"
"S-score!" The middle-aged man exclaimed.
"Hmm, score what?" The old man also raised his head, wondering just what was so surprising about that. Did Ron climb above Raayi?
"Huh, what?" He wasn't expecting to be as shocked as he was since; generally, he was more calm, not the scores were just upside-down now!
Lucifer was ranked last just a few seconds ago, but now he was at the top rank? He had killed forty thousand people in just a few seconds? How was he so fast?
"The score isn't stopping. It increased even more!" The middle-aged man exclaimed as the score increased by another twenty thousand.
"It looks like he just started getting serious. Not only is he in the lead, but he has killed twice as many people as the second ranked Raayi!"
The old man couldn't help but laugh as he came back to his seat. "This is getting interesting. Even I didn't expect him to have such an ability. He can target so many people at once? Get me visuals of the ground."
"I know it isn't what we normally do since we leave them to employ whatever method they can without worrying about being seen, but I can't control my curiosity. I just have to see how he's doing it!"
The staff members didn't refuse the command either. If anything, they wanted it more than the old man. They also wanted to see just what was this guy doing that was killing so many people at once.
The visuals of the battlefield were brought to the screen, which showed the city that was covered in dark Clouds. The Lightning Bolts kept falling from the sky as if not intending to stop until the entire city was brought to rubble.
"This ability, it's similar to Ron and his family's skills, but he can use that on such a large scale?" The old man theorized.
"Sir, I have a question. If Ron has a similar ability, why isn't he using the same to collect scores fast as well?" One of the men asked.
The old man wasn't surprised at the question since he would've wondered about the same if he didn't know better.
"There are possibly two reasons," the old man responded. "One is that he doesn't want to end this too soon. He wants to enjoy each of his battles. He probably doesn't want to accidentally kill a powerful opponent that he could've enjoyed fighting."
"As for his second reason, it's that he couldn't pull it off with the perfect of Lucifer. When he use such an attack, he doesn't know where to attack precisely. In other words, Lucifer is using another ability which is helping him keep an eye on the entire city."
"Lucifer knows where the buildings with the most people are or where they are gathering. Ron is blind to all that since he can't see the entire city like that. Even if he used the same skill that Lucifer is using to kill, his efficiency would be much lower since it'll be like a blind attack."
"That's what gives Lucifer an advantage."
"I see."
With the old man's explanation, the others finally understood why Lucifer seemed to have such a massive advantage. It wasn't that Ron couldn't use that skill. It's just that he couldn't use that skill as efficiently as Lucifer, which made all the difference in the world.

Back in the Realm of Summons, Lucifer had already gone through a battle, and he came out victorious. Even though all the Royal Guards attacked him at once, he wasn't harmed. If anything, he had already killed all the Royal Guards while keeping Prince Huang in his control even now.
He turned around, looking at the crowd that had gathered around them. They were all too scared to even move.
