Chapter 347: Decision

Lucifer was flying in the middle of the sky, staring at Quan, who had just finished ordering him. 

He was just told to kill Uprising Members if he wanted answers. 

"Act fast. Time is running out. Don't tell me you don't want answers to your question?" Quan asked, laughing. For the most part, his voice drowned in the sound of thunder, but Lucifer was able to hear it still. 

"You're in this city, aren't you?" Lucifer asked Quan, expressionless. "Instead of listening to you, I'd much rather destroy everything until I find the real you."

"Run Quan... Run as far as you can. You won't get out of this city alive today," Lucifer said, clenching his fist, which effectively crushed the next of Quan. 

Lucifer tossed Quan away, but right after that, he used his wind blades to slice Quan into small parts. 

After killing Quan, Lucifer glanced down at the city. 

...

The real Quan was sitting on the chair comfortably, feeling like he had Lucifer in his palms, but it apparently played out a little differently in reality. Instead of giving in, Lucifer was prepared to walk the extra mile to find him. 

"What happened?" General Maxwell asked Quan, noticing his weird expressions. 

"I think you were right. We might have a problem at our hands. We're stuck here. We can't even contact him. And it seems like instead of turning Lucifer to my side, I might have actually triggered him even more," Quan replied, smiling wryly. 

"Sigh. Let's try getting out of the city. We have no choice but to abandon this place. Everything is out of our control now," General Maxwell suggested as he walked over to the wall. 

He placed his finger on a certain spot in the wall and pressed it lightly. 

Click!

As soon as he tapped the wall, a clicking sound was made as if a button was pressed.

A square opening appeared on the floor, big enough for one person to easily enter inside. 

"Let's go. Back to where we came from... Back to Triton," General Maxwell told Quan.

Taking a deep breath, Quan agreed as he stood up. He walked towards the opening in the ground to see stairs inside that were going down. 

He went down the stairs. The others also followed behind him, going down. 

"Cr*p!" One of the men following behind Quan couldn't help but curse as he found a small part of his long robe caught as the sliding door closed before he could completely collect his long robe. 

Instead of bothering to open the doors again by telling others and delaying themselves, the man just removed his robe and left it behind so as to not be scolded. 

At the end of the dark stairs, they found themselves in a dark place. 

General Maxwell brought a torch out and turned it on, lightning the path ahead. 

Through the light, everyone was able to see that they were inside a cave, underground. Moreover, a strange smell was filling the entire cave. 

"I think they have jammed the communication of the entire city. After leaving this city, we should be able to contact others," General Maxwell suggested as he led the path. The others followed him from behind. 

...

Lucifer had just finished killing fake Quan, and now he was thinking about finding the real one. He was still enraged, but after Quan told him to kill Uprising, he had calmed down. 

As Quan mentioned the Uprising, Lucifer realized that he wanted his enemies dead. Moreover, Uprising was siding with him. 

As he thought about the Uprising, he also remembered everything else, including the support he had now and their plans. 

Even though Quan wanted to use the confused mindset of Lucifer to make him kill his teammates, it worked completely differently. Instead of breaking Lucifer, it reminded him who he was and where he was. 

The trick of an enemy worked in his favor. He was still enraged enough to destroy everything, but he wasn't mindless. 

Looking down, Lucifer noticed Cassius looking at him in concern. Kellian was also looking at him from the top of a roof. 

Through a hole in the wall, he was also able to see Alicia and Caen standing before him. 

He flew down, landing before Kellian. 

"Are you alright now?' Kellian asked, breathing a sigh of relief. 

"What would happen to me?" Lucifer asked, ignoring what had just happened. " Anyway, I want you all to do one thing! I don't care how you do it, but I want real Quan in my feet! You understand? Use any trick you have to, but I want him!'

" You mean his real body is inside the city? That would make sense. Give me some time. I'll find him for you!" Kellian said, spreading his arms wide. 

His eyes started shining in a pitch black light as he used his powers to the extent he had never used before. Thousands of shadows came out of his body and spread everywhere, searching for the enemy that was probably hiding somewhere. 

One after another, these thousands of shadows were to check all the houses and buildings to find Quan. 

Fortunately, one such building that this shadow happened to enter was the same place where Quan was sitting a few minutes ago. 

There were no clues about Quan being there though. That place looked extremely ordinary for the most part. There were only a few chairs, but the shadow noticed one peculiar thing. 

A small part of a clothing article could be seen on the floor. 

Seeing the robe, Kellian understood everything. This robe was clear evidence of the person who was here. He had seen that person many times on TV. Only the defense minister of Quan wore this exact robe.

Through the robe, he was also able to realize that there was an opening in the ground. 

Standing on the roof, Kellian opened his eyes. "I think I found them."

"Where?" Lucifer asked. 

"Follow me," Kellian said before he himself turned into a Shadow and started zooming past every obstruction to get to that place. 

Keeping an eye on that shadow, Lucifer followed behind. 

Along the way, they had to fly past Cassius, who called out to Lucifer. 

Lucifer lowered himself as he caught the hands of Cassius and carried him as well. 

Alicia also ran after them, using her ability to walk and run on the air. 

"Are you alright now?" Cassius asked Lucifer, who looked fine now. 

"I'm alright," Lucifer replied. "Don't worry about me."

Kellian came out of the shadow inside the room where Quan previously stood. 

Breaking the window, Lucifer and Cassius also stopped inside. Alicia also came behind them.
