BXBX NOVEL Chapter 865: Returned
The calm in the space was as before, yet something seemed different about it.
Back on earth, the time restrictions were over. People were allowed to move, yet for some reason, they felt different. They didn\'t know why or what was different about them, but they felt odd.
Even Salazar was sent back to Triton with the unconscious body of Milena. He was sent straight to an abandoned house, from where he was looking at all the Dragons outside, amazed at the strength of the beasts. The three Warlock Council members that were left in the city were killed by the Dungeon Dwellers as well, within a few seconds of the battle\'s beginning.
The Dungeon Dwellers were just so strong. Yet, the Dragons managed to destroy all the Dungeon Dwellers like they were nothing. This kind of strength was nothing like Salazar had ever seen before in his life. What surprised him even more, was that these Dragons were made by Lucifer. Someone who could make something so strong, just how strong he had become?
It was when the Dragons left that he started wondering if the War was over. The clouds had started disappearing. He wondered if Lucifer had won. Before he could get any answers, he froze in time like everyone else in the world.
After everything was over, he was again freed of time restrictions. Coming out of the restrictions, he felt odd. He remembered the feeling of being trapped in time since that was something he had gone through before. He looked at the clock in the back. Instead of the same time as before, it was showing older time.
The clock was back by one minute, which was strange. If he was stuck in time, that meant more time had passed. Why was the clock one minute behind?
"Umm?"
As he was lost in thoughts, trying to figure out the mystery, he heard a voice behind him. It sounded like it was coming from Milena.
"Are you up?\' He ran to Milena, who looked around. "Where are we?"
"We are back in Triton," Salazar exclaimed.
"We are back? How did we get out of the Dungeon? Was the Dungeon Broken? Are the Dungeon Dwellers out?!" Milena\'s eyes widened, and she stood up. "Where is Lucifer?"
She ran to the Window to look outside.
"You\'re right. The Dungeon was broken, and not just one but all Dungeons. All the Dungeon Dwellers came out of their Dungeons and attacked the city. Even the city outside was attacked," Salazar exclaimed.
Hearing him, Milena ran outside to see with her own eyes.
"You won\'t find any outside. All the Dungeon Dwellers were destroyed by the Lightning Dragons. I think the Dragons were sent by Lucifer. As for where he is, even I don\'t know. I think he must be fighting that man even now if he hadn\'t won already. Because if that man had won, the Dungeon Dwellers wouldn\'t have died," Salazar exclaimed.
Even as he kept speaking, he got no response from Milena, who just stood at the window like a statue.
Salazar noticed slight trembling of Milena.
"How is this possible?" Her words fell in Salazar\'s ears.
"How did he conjure the Dragons? Are you surprised by that?" Salazar asked, thinking she was shocked about the story he told.
He stepped closer to Milena. "Lucifer is just an anomaly. How he does what he does is something we can never understand. We should just be glad that he can do these things."
"Not that," Milena responded as she pointed out.
Salazar reached beside her and looked in the direction she was pointing at. Her eyes fell on the streets of the city. As soon as he saw, even his Jaws dropped open.
"How is that possible? Didn\'t you say they were all dead?" he asked, frowning.
"They were supposed to be. I saw them die with my own eyes... Some of them died before you during battles as well," Milena exclaimed. "I don\'t know how they are back."
"Ah, could it be time? Lucifer\'s Time Manipulation?" Salazar suddenly exclaimed, thinking of something.
"His Time Manipulation? Even if he could control it, it shouldn\'t be strong enough to bring the dead back? This doesn\'t make sense," Milena blankly muttered.
"As I said before, what no one can do, Lucifer can. So we should stop being shocked at his endeavors. Just be happy that he did it. It doesn\'t matter how he did. Just be happy that he did," Salazar smiled as he opened the window. "Let\'s go meet them."
He jumped out of the building. Shaking her head, even Milena flew outside. Even though she didn\'t know how it happened, as she saw her people standing outside, including Arthur and Jiani, she felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew it wasn\'t an illusion as the connection that was broken when they had died was back again. She could feel it. They truly were the same people. It was as if the time of these people were reversed in that time zone to bring them to the future and back to life.
It wasn\'t a dream. It really was happening. "He really has gotten stronger if he can even do this. I still remember the day he came before me for the first time. I thought he was nothing but a weak Variant, but he grew up so much in the last few years."
She landed on the ground. Jiani ran to her at first sight as soon as she saw Milena. ᴀʟ ʟ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ full.com
Salazar also went through the crowd, noticing all the men that had died right before his eyes. They were all back as well. Even Yaliza, who had died in the Dungeon, was here.
"How did you end up here? I thought you died?" Salazar asked Yaliza, thinking he must know something.
"I have no idea. The last thing I remember was that I was stabbed. Then I was here. My body was healed as well," Yaliza explained, sighing. "I am just glad to be alive. And I see I\'m not the only one who is back from the dead here."
"Yeah. I believe Lucifer is behind it," Salazar muttered as he observed the surroundings. His gaze ultimately ended up on two distant figures who were standing on top of a roof, looking down at them.
"This... Did he really...?"
