Chapter 833: Pity

Chapter 833: Pity

"There's no one left here? But even Kane?" Lucifer asked the guard.

"Not even one person," the guard replied, sighing. "They all left."

Lucifer nodded, but he didn't turn around. "Open the door."

The guards opened the door, letting Lucifer in.

Even though everyone was left, he was sure that at least the lab was going to be here. There was a good chance that something that he needed was left behind.

He stepped inside the building with Jian following him inside. The two unlikely allies went everywhere together at this point, maybe because they wanted to keep an eye on the other person, or maybe it was something else?

Hearing about the arrival of Lucifer, the humans that were taking care of the city until now came running down to greet him. Their effort was only greeted by a cold nod from Lucifer, who didn't even stop for them.

Lucifer went to the second-highest floor and stopped before the metallic doors. There were no locks here, yet no one could open the door. It was as if it had a different system of itself and couldn't be controlled from the main control room. It was impossible to override the security mechanism of this place.

Lucifer didn't need to override anything though. He just stood before the door, gazing at the center. A green light came from the door, which not only scanned the facial features of Lucifer but also his retina and heartbeats.

All the vital data of Lucifer was already inside the system. In fact, this new defense system was only developed for Lucifer, who couldn't use fingerprint sensors and such.

Not only his but the vitals of everyone who was granted access to this room was fed to the systems. However, amongst the ones that were here, only Lucifer could open it.

Even for the humans here, it was the first time they had seen this lab open. After Uprising left, they had tried to open this place, thinking there might be something important there, but they only failed.

Jian entered the lab, curious about the lab that Lucifer was so eager to search.

Entering the lab, Lucifer looked everywhere. Most of the times were left here and weren't taken yet, including the Battlegears of others that were still in the process of being made. However, all those items were of no use to Lucifer, who was here for something else entirely.

He kept searching every place, from shelves to drawers.

"What are you looking for? Maybe I can help as well?" Jian chimed in. "It should make things easier."

"No need. I already found it," Lucifer exclaimed, looking inside the last drawer he had opened.

He placed his hand inside the drawer and pulled the item he was looking for. He wore a dark pair of gloves in each of his hands.

"Gloves? That's what you needed?" Jian asked, chuckling. "I really pity you. Without gloves, you can't even touch anything. I don't know how I could've survived if I was in your place, not being able to touch my sword."

"Anyway, if you're done now, can we leave?"

"We can get going."

....

The humans arranged a helicopter for Lucifer to leave. Even though they were initially scared to see Jian here, they were happy to see that Lucifer and Jian weren't enemies anymore.

They were working together, which meant Elisium didn't need to worry about revenge of Jian, and it wasn't going to become a Warzone.

Moreover, even if the Uprising had disbanded, with the presence of Jian and Lucifer, there was no way any other nation could've thought about attacking them. It was the best safety net they could've hoped for.

The chopper started rising in the air, carrying two men and a young woman. Three of the strongest people in the world from three different parts of the world were sitting together in the same chopper. The pilot was excited at just the thought of escorting such high profile people.

After traveling for around two hours non stop, the chopper landed in the middle of a desert. There was only one cave entrance in the massive desert. Except it, nothing could be seen.

Jian stepped out of the helicopter first, observing the entrance of the Dungeon. "That's the Dungeon I heard so much about. Still, it's a level four Dungeon, so it shouldn't be challenging. For your men to get trapped here, they must be really weak."

"It doesn't matter if they were weak or not. What matters is that every single member of Uprising who is still alive is important to me at the moment." Lucifer jumped out of the helicopter as well.

"Moreover, the ones who entered the Dungeon are even more special for me since they are the ones that have proven their loyalty to me. I can't let Salazar and Yaliza die in there," he added.

Milena was the last to come out. She didn't have anyone special she needed to save here. Everyone she had brought with her was already killed in Zeston.

The rest were back at the Continent of Darkness. There were no stakes for her in this other than just helping Lucifer and maybe finding a way to get rid of Jian. She still hadn't told Lucifer about the fact that Jian couldn't be killed. Honestly, she herself forgot about the fact that she didn't tell this to Lucifer.

"There are footsteps. Someone was recently here," Jian went down on his knees, observing the footsteps. "If I'm not wrong, maybe a few hours ago. That's very interesting. Why are so many people interested in entering this Dungeon? Am I missing something?"

"It doesn't matter. Whoever entered is of no concern to us. We have a different mission of our own," Lucifer responded. However, even he was slightly curious who would enter.

He could guess that the person was most probably the Dungeon Dweller that had delivered the message to him before.

"Let's go." Going against the winds that made his robe clutter, Lucifer stepped inside the Dungeon.

"So be it," Jian chuckled as he also stepped inside with Millena.

As the three of them entered, they felt as if they had passed through some kind of barrier. It was just a feeling.

The Dungeon Dwellers were hoping for the arrival of Lucifer for so long. And when the time came for it, not one but two Lucifers entered the Dungeon and not even alone. Jian and Milena were also brought together.

The Dungeon that could have a hard time handling the aura of Lucifer alone was supporting much stronger auras.

"He is here!" In the Level Seven Dungeon, shocked voices came.
