Chapter 919: Forced back

Chapter 919: Forced back

If it were ordinary circumstances, Lucifer wouldn't have bothered to take the lead or even contact them. All he would've done was show his strength during whatever trial paid ahead, but that was the problem. He didn't know what Trials there were going to be, and if he started getting lazy now, he wasn't going to win.

He definitely needed to win this Trial since there was a lot on the line. Slight competition was the best way to get through things, and it also worked as a nice distraction.

Seeing Lucifer's audacity, everyone in the back was stunned. This guy was really talking to the three seeds like that? Even Mallin couldn't believe what she was seeing. She wondered if this guy had gone crazy for some reason.

Hearing the challenging tone in Lucifer's voice, Raayi gazed at him in surprise. This guy... Did he really not fear her? He was actually the last ranked person here, and he still had such arrogance?

She wondered if it was true that this guy was special? Could it be true that the Queen herself sent this guy here? If he was sent by the Queen, something was really special about him. She couldn't help but think about testing him to see what it was.

She took a step back but right then, the middle-aged man who was supposed to take them to their trial destination landed before them.

"Alright, everyone is out. We can leave. Everyone ready?"

Raayi stopped in her tracks and went back to her position.

"Good. Let's get going then." The middle-aged man was also slightly surprised to see Lucifer standing on equal footing with the three seeds, but he didn't comment on it. He was upset that the young man didn't know his place to think he could stand with the top three people, but he couldn't say that out loud.

The man used his abilities. Winds wrapped around all the participants, making them rise in the air.

Everyone started flying, with the middle-aged man being in the absolute lead.

As for the four youngsters that stood on an equal footing, only three of them were flying right behind the middle-aged man thanks to him.

As for Lucifer, the middle-aged man intentionally used his winds in such a way that Lucifer's speed was slower than the others. He kept falling back before he was right beside Malin.

'Heh, now you're where you belong.' the Middle-aged man thought, smirking. He didn't even have to look back to know what had happened since it was his doing. He made sure that the top three were in the lead while the last three were at the end.

The participants who were flying in the middle of the group couldn't help but laugh at Lucifer.

"Heh, that braggart is finally shown his rightful place! At the end."

"Heh, he thought he could fly at the same level as us?! He doesn't deserve that!"

"Yeah. Hopefully, he will get his arrogance in control now."

Quite a lot of participants laughed at Lucifer for what had happened.

Raayi and the others in the top three also noticed what had happened. Raayi smiled in satisfaction. She understood that it meant Lucifer wasn't seeded. He was bluffing.

Mander didn't react. It was as if it didn't matter to him.

As for Ron Ostrin, he let out a disappointed sigh. He thought that Lucifer was actually seeded by the Queen and the tournament was going to be interesting but what happened just now showed that he had lied. He got excited for no reason at all.

"Welcome back," Malin said, gazing at Lucifer, who was right beside her. "Don't mind their comments. The initial rankings are considered somewhat important here. They will never let you fly in the lead since it undermines the rankings. You can raise your rankings slowly in the tournament, and then you can stay where you want. Until then, you can't."

Lucifer noticed the winds that were intentionally slowing him down more than the others. He realized who was playing with him. The middle-aged man it was.

Lucifer couldn't help but smile a bit. "He wants to have fun with me? Let me show him what fun is."

He glanced back at Malin. "I'll see you later."

He has had enough. If someone thought they could use winds to make him embarrassed, they were wrong. He was the Emperor of Winds. He could control the wind as well, and possibly even better than the middle-aged man.

He started activating his Core of Wind. The winds around him that were in control of the middle-aged man were now under his control.

Lucifer's speed increased. He wasn't flying because of the middle-aged man's ability now, so his limitations didn't apply to him. He used his own winds and could fly as fast as he wanted.

Lucifer's speed increased. From last place, he reached the middle. The people who were laughing at Lucifer closed their mouths, stunned.

Lucifer was sent from the first place to the last place. How did he get ahead again? Just what was the Instructor doing? They didn't realize that it wasn't the instructor's doing. Instead, it was all on Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't stay in the middle of the group. Instead, he went back to the lead, flying right beside the top three, surprising them with his return. All three of them seemed confused.

Unfortunately, they were in for even more surprise as Lucifer didn't stay with them. He increased his speed even more and took the absolute lead, flying ahead of the top three.

Raayi's face turned red in anger. "What's the meaning of this? Is the Instructor being biased by giving him lead?!"

"I don't think it's the Instructor who gave him the lead. If he did, he would've stopped right there," Ron chuckled as he pointed ahead. Lucifer still hadn't stopped increasing his speed.

He kept moving even faster and only stopped increasing speed when he was right beside the Instructor!

A middle-aged man and a young man flew side by side.

The middle-aged man gazed at Lucifer in surprise. This guy? How did he get here?

It was only now that he understood that Lucifer could fly as well. He couldn't believe it! This guy was mocking him just because he could use winds too?

The Instructor was enraged and decided to teach Lucifer a lesson.

'He thinks he can use winds better than me?! I'm from the Gale Clan! We are born to rule the wind! I also have more experience! If he thinks he can use his wind skills to mock me, he is wrong! I will snatch back the control from him!

Instead of asking Lucifer to go back nicely, the man decided to teach him a lesson!
