Lucifer rushed towards the goblin lord, using Wind Control to increase his speed while Spatial Severance gathered around his right hand. The lord raised his arm to block him, but Lucifer changed direction at the last moment and struck from the side, forcing the creature to turn before it could launch a counterattack. The goblin lord swung his fist towards Lucifer's head, and the force behind the blow made the air shake as it passed. Lucifer bent backwards to avoid it, then placed his left hand against the lord's chest and pushed himself away before the creature could grab him. Although he had gained two powerful abilities, Lucifer had only just created Spatial Severance, and controlling it during a close fight was harder than he had expected. Each time he used it, he felt a sharp strain in his arm, so he needed to choose his attacks with care instead of wasting his strength. The lord noticed his hesitation and rushed forward, swinging his arm across the space between them. Lucifer r

"Vivian, get everyone away from the throne!" Lucifer shouted as he moved towards the goblin lord again. Vivian understood that he was preparing something dangerous, so she quickly called the others and moved away from the throne. Darius used his Stone Armor to block the undead that tried to follow them, while Kelvin and Maria attacked from the sides to keep the path clear. Lucifer watched them move away before turning his attention back to the goblin lord, who had gathered another mass of black energy above his head. "You cannot defeat me, Dragonborn!" the lord roared. "Every death in this hall belongs to me, and every fallen warrior makes my power greater!" Lucifer looked across the hall and saw the bodies of the goblins scattered around the floor, with black energy flowing from them towards the lord. 'Then I need to stop giving him the chance to use them.' Lucifer raised his right hand and focused on Spatial Severance, allowing the strange power to spread through his arm and ga

The figure that appeared through the portal was soon followed by several others, and Leon finally saw John emerge alongside Raj, Vivian, Amira, and the remaining Hunters. Although their clothes were covered in dirt and blood, they were all alive, which made Leon breathe a sigh of relief. However, his relief did not last long because he immediately rushed towards John with an angry look on his face. "Do you have any idea how worried I was? You went into the dungeon without giving me any proper information, and now you expect me to welcome you back as if nothing happened?" John glanced at him before walking past him without saying a word. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" Leon shouted as he turned around, but John had already moved away from him. Leon stood there with his mouth open, unable to believe that the boy had ignored him after everything he had gone through while waiting outside. He eventually sighed and decided that arguing with John would only give him a headache. Before he cou

The funeral was held at a large mortuary a few streets away from the school. Since it was Sunday, there were no classes or other school activities, but almost all the students and staff members had come to pay their respects to the dead. Everyone was dressed in black, and the place was filled with a sad mood as families gathered to mourn their loved ones. Since none of the bodies had been recovered from the Black Dungeon and that of James and his lackeys were not available also, the families had to make do with pictures of the dead. The pictures were placed in front of the gathered crowd, and each family was given a chance to say goodbye before the final rites were carried out. After the service, the pictures would be buried or cremated as a way of giving the dead a proper farewell. The Rosenthal family stood at the front with the other families, but unlike most of those present, they did not seem weighed down by grief. They were one of the most powerful families in the country and h

"I said I'm fine!" Vivian complained to the school nurse, who stood beside her bed with a look that showed she had no intention of listening to another word. "No, you need to rest here, and you can only leave after noon," the nurse replied firmly. Vivian groaned and turned her face away, finally accepting defeat. After a moment, she glanced at Lucifer, who was standing beside her bed, before turning towards Amira, who remained near the door as though she felt left out. "And why are you here?" Vivian asked. "Uhmm, you're supposed to watch me, and there's no way you can do that from here. So I think I should stay until you're ready to walk again," Lucifer replied. Vivian rolled her eyes. "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to her." At that moment, the nurse picked up a few items and walked out to attend to other students who needed her help. Amira's heart skipped a beat when she realized Vivian was talking about her. She had been standing quietly by the door, hoping to check
