Chapter 344 - 344: All For A Lie?

Everyone could see the finger of Quan lying on the ground but what was most shocking about it was that there was no blood. Even though Quan’s fingers were cut, he wasn’t bleeding for some reason.

Lucifer stood up, frowning as he approached Quan.

"I asked, what are you?! You aren’t a human, are you?" Lucifer asked grimly.

Heavy winds suddenly started flowing inside the room as tens of wind blades attacked Quan, slicing his body but not giving him any severe wound that could kill him.

Even after what seemed like hundreds of cuts, Quan still didn’t seem like he was bleeding. It felt like he didn’t have any blood in his body at all. Unlike before, he wasn’t even screaming now though.

"Argh, it seems like I’m caught," Quan lazily let out as he rolled his eyes. "Who knew, after so long, I would be caught because of a finger. God, my luck is really bad today."

Hearing his upset tone, it seemed clear that he wasn’t scared at all. Was he acting until now?

"I asked who are you!" Lucifer roared. At the same time, his winds sliced both the legs of Quan.

Without his legs, Quan dropped to the ground. Still, he didn’t cry in pain. Instead, he was laughing.

"Hahahahaah!"

Everyone watched Quan laughing like crazy. His laughter filled the entire room, stabbing in the ears of some as if this laughter was mocking them.

" Man, that Varant is a real idiot. I really thought he could keep a secret even in death," Quan let out, laughing.

"I guess I should have expected that he would do it, considering the fact that he was stupid enough to fall for my lie like all others. For a lie, he decided to kill your parents. I should have understood right then that he’ll expose everything someday!" he continued.

"Falling for your lie?" Lucifer inquired, taken aback. What was he saying?

"Of course. I didn’t even have to work hard at all. Your father was trying to find something inside the dungeons, supposedly a Sword for some reason," Quan replied, grinning.

"All I had to do was tell Varant that he was trying to find the seven stones to bring apocalypse again. It was so easy to convince him."

"He didn’t even bother asking Zale! That idiot! Instead, he convinced the others that it was the truth. Zeiss and all the others fell for it as well. It was fun watching this play out. I can’t describe how fun it was."

Quan kept speaking in between his burst of laughter about how he manipulated Varant.

Each of his words stabbed Lucifer’s heart like it was a poisonous arrow.

He had at least come to terms with the fact that Varant and others killed his fathers because he was trying to find some stones. But to know that they weren’t even doing that and they were killed?

"So this... Was it all a lie? My father wasn’t trying to find the stones?" he asked weakly. He had never felt as sad as he was feeling now. To know that all of it happened because of a lie?

His parents were betrayed because of a lie?

"Of course. Why would your father want the stones in any case? Most of them are in unknown corners of the world," Quan said, laughing.

"There’s no way to find them all. He wouldn’t be stupid enough to even try. I guess you can thank me for telling you this secret."

Lucifer stood frozen in place, hearing the information like a statue.

"Why would you tell this to us now?" It was Kellian who was still thinking critically. He couldn’t understand why Quan was accepting the truth now?

"Hahaha, I guess there are two reasons," Quan let out, still as happy-sounding as before.

"What reasons?" Kellian inquired, thinking that something was wrong.

Ignoring the conversation which was taking place between Kellian and Quan, Cassius stood up and approached Lucifer.

"Are you alright?" he asked Lucifer, placing his hand on his shoulder.

Lucifer didn’t reply at all. He still kept standing there, not speaking anything.

After so long, he had managed to collect himself, but he was feeling broken again. He was feeling extremely broken, as if someone had crushed his heart after pulling it out of his chest.

"Lucifer? You need to get out of it. Remember, it’s all in the past. You need to live in the present."

"Don’t let yourself be broken because of it. I know you’re strong enough to get out of it," Cassius again said gently. He didn’t want Lucifer to break now.

Unfortunately for him, Lucifer couldn’t hear him. It was as if he had again closed himself from the outside world, hiding in the darkness.

Lucifer felt like he was sitting in a dark room, with folded knees, all alone. There was nothing but darkness around him.

"Lucifer, come on. Wake up! Get out of it!" Cassius kept calling out, but Lucifer didn’t reply.

All Lucifer heard was his parents’ gentle voice. He remembered his mother’s soft embrace, protecting him from all the wrongs in the world.

To know that they were killed for doing nothing at all... They were killed for no freaking reason at all, other than the self-serving interest of people that wanted them dead!

They did nothing wrong! They didn’t risk the future of the world by trying to find the stones, and they didn’t hurt anyone!

Instead, they left their five year old kid home to go inside the dungeons so that the world could be safe, all so they could be poisoned to death?

Sitting in darkness, he was able to see his mother lying before him. Her face was pale, and blood was coming out of her lips. His father also seemed to be in similar condition as if they were both poisoned.

This world.... took his family for a lie?

"Lucifer, wake up!" Cassius yelled.

"Ouch!" he hastily retreated as he felt the current coursing through Lucifer’s body. Since he retreated in time, he wasn’t heavily electrocuted.

He was able to see dark lightning flicker around Lucifer’s body.

A strange pattern could also be seen shining through the back of Lucifer’s coat, which was nothing but his strange tattoo, which was shining like it never shone before.

Tears kept trickling down from Lucifer’s eyes, one of which had once again turned even more violet. It was something which someone could see even from a distance. It was not only violet, but it was also shining brightly.

....

In an unknown location, a man raised his head as he looked at the pitch-black sky.

As for the man, he also had one violet and blue eye, similar to Lucifer. A similar pattern was also on this man’s back. His gaze seemed to be filled with melancholy.
