Chapter 212 212:Perpetrator?

Lucas swallowed his saliva while pondering for a moment.

Although his other self didn't say much he inferred some things through a roundabout way after hearing his words.

'It seems that God abandoned humanity and all other species for some reason.'

"So you are advising me to stay away from them. I noted that. And I am not sure if this is the case but isn't Frederick a chosen warrior by the Goddess so should I be careful of him?"

"Hmmm!" Future Lucas rubbed his chin.

"I don't think so. They could have manipulated things like they always do but I killed the shit out of them many times and enforced tons of restrictions on them so they shouldn't be able to do that. Moreover, they couldn't derive predictions from the future as in most timelines they are dead."

"Though they can't interfere directly they can do so subtly. For example your bad luck."

Lucas' expression distorted and his voice became louder.

"What did you say?"

"I am talking about that black pot which you carry around. Due to remembering your previous lives, the world had already taken you as an outsider and tried to kill you in any plausible situation. There is also a part of the world that wants you to save and use it as a chess piece in the final war. Without the world's help, the Goddess might have already buried you alive."

Lucas' Breathing stagnated for a moment.

"So, do they know everything about us?"

"Nah, they don't."

"They had lessened their guards a lot. The reason is except for me all Lucases are just useless pieces of shit and failures. If not for the special circumstances around me, I wouldn't have become what I am now. There were many times when I tried to commit suicide just because of some weird ass bullied me. Even I used to be a pathetic piece of trash."

"Aren't you ashamed to curse yourself?"n-(0Velb1n

"It's okay, trash is trash. Lie can't become the truth. You can't sugarcoat your words and address a useless stone as priceless ornament just because you want to."Future Lucas waved his hand.

"You are not on their radar for now and they wouldn't be guarding against you. And once the Demon Continent arises, they will be busy taking care of their shits and trying to save themselves so just focus on your growth for now."

"Okay, it's time to go now."

Future Lucas' image started to disappear and the world started to crumble apart.

"Wait! I still have questions!"

"Shut up! Do you want me to spoon-feed you everything? Try to use the brain that you are born with. Don't just rely on others to answer your queries. " Future Lucas reprimanded.

Lucas, who just stood there recalling one of his life's most absurd and weirdest conversation, suddenly held his head due to an influx of new memories.

"Think of this as a gift to commemorate our first meeting. If life ever permits we will meet once again."

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Your system might go through some changes. My appearance had used a part of its divinity so your system might cut some things in the future."

"What the..''

Before Lucas could curse, a crackling sound thundered in the vast space which started shattering once again.

Lucas' consciousness sank and he opened his eyes, he found Julian in his arms while many pieces of messy memories flashed in his mind making his expression dark.

.....

Among the group of students lying around like a corpse, the eyelids of some started flickering as the weight exerted on their minds vanished.

The third-year students were the first ones to wake up.

Issac, who was rubbing his eyes, suddenly froze, finding himself lying over a cushion of grass.

His hands froze and his eyes bulged at the image of him being knocked out while dealing with a black robbed man.

"What the hell happened here?!" Issac screamed immediately, springing up on his feet but he stumbled due to a massive pain hammering in his head.

"The last thing I remember was watching a huge flower-shaped monster appearing out of nowhere and targeting Julian." Ian said while staring at the others' drowsy appearances.

'Damn, it hurts like shit." Ian cursed, pressing his forehead.

Lara and Mogan who also woke up with them were sitting with dazed confused expressions.

Issac massaging his forehead, turned his gaze.

His jaw opened wide and his pupil dilated, witnessing pieces of flesh scattered all around along with large pits and craters.

However, his eyes, ignoring the sight of mass destruction, locked onto a man and a woman, witnessing which his heart burst out and his vision dyed with shock.

Seeing the unconscious. Julian lying in the hands of a mere filthy ant, jealousy clouded his vision.

"Lowlife, how dare you touch the Princess?! Taking advantage of her when she is unconscious!!"

A roar amplified by mana echoed all around jolting many out of their dazed state.

Ian's senses were alerted when he saw Isaac's murderous glint and he immediately tried to stop him.

"How dare...I will kill you!!"Issac roared like a madman.

His body burst with a cloud of flame, forcing Ian to retreat.

With a jet explosion, Issac's entire body was ignited with flames as he shot towards Lucas and Julian leaving behind a trail of flame.

BOOM!

"Get the hell away from her!!"

Issac screamed at the top of his lungs and raised his fist to fire a shot of flame. But before he could do that, Lucas, whose eyes were glancing at Julian, turned abruptly with a snap, peering straight into his eyes.

Issac's vision distorted and turned bloody. For a moment, he felt as if the whole world came crashing down on him.

Losing control over his whole body, due to blurry vision he crashed on the ground with a loud impact.

BOOM!

His body bounced back and forth, due to thrashing onto the ground as he slid off for many metres.

Cough...Cough....

Coughing blood, Issac stood up with staggering steps and held his head which throbbed more badly than before as if someone was bashing his head with a club.

He raised his chin and shuddered to see a furious gaze and gulped in fear.

'Fear....Me?...I am feeling fear?'

"No, it can't be. You, a measly piece of shit dare to look into my eyes? I will gouge out our eyes."

Just as Issac took a step forward, a huge commotion ensued behind them as many knights with a profound aura galloped their way towards Julian and Lucas.

Issac suddenly thought of a plan and his expression turned sinister.

"Catch that bastard! He is the perpetrator behind all this. He is holding Julian hostage. Apprehend him."

The Knights halted in their steps and were instantly startled seeing a sickly pale Julian in Lucas' arms.

Their hearts churned with coldness.

"Sir Knights, it might be a misunderstanding. I don't think he can do that.'' Ian shouted as he followed behind Issac trying to stop the imprudent action of harming Lucas.

The Knights gave Ian a cold shoulder but Ian didn't flinch back.

Julian had already asked him to take care of Lucas in case Issac acted unruly. Since he had promised to help Lucas, he couldn't back down now and in doing so, Julian promised him that she would back him up and give him a greater future.

"Boy, step back. Please allow us to do our duty." Ledger, the Captain of this small team spoke coldly and sauntered towards Lucas with a darkened expression while keeping his guards up.

"Boy, release Her Highness and I will grant you mercy!" Ledger shouted backing up knights.

"Stop wasting time and kill him!"Issac urged with a frustrated expression.

Ledger's expression distorted as the boy ignored them as if they weren't present.

He was willing to give this guy a chance to speak but he remained silent oblivious to his question which made Ledger irked by his temper.

The moment Ledger along his squad stepped closer and drew their swords, murderous intent exploded within Lucas dyeing everything in red as he locked his gaze on the ground of knights.

In the very next instant, Ledger's and the knight's bodies behind him halted.

Everyone there stood flabbergasted feeling the sensation of a red line passing their necks.

A bleak deadly silence enveloped the whole place with the feeling of bad premonition burning their heart.
