Chapter 880: Absorption
Chapter 880: Absorption
The Lightning Dragon came out of the clouds and landed before Lucifer right on the streets of the city, shocking everyone. Even the red haired man who was looking out stood up, shocked as his Jaws dropped wide!
“I-i was wrong! Jian can’t defeat him either. I don’t think no one can defeat this monster! The lightning Dragons that saved the world were summoned by him! Just how strong is this guy, actually? He is truly a monster! I think it won’t be long before he truly becomes a king of this world!” The man exclaimed.
Even his sister was shocked. She hadn’t thought that Lucifer was so strong. The Dragons… She had always wondered who brought those dragons! Who saved the world! Who was the hero that deserved their eternal gratitude! So it was this guy! She was calling her hero arrogant! She couldn’t help but curse herself for what she did. The man who was supposed to be praised by her to no end was scolded!
She stood up and ran to the door. She had decided! She needed to apologize to Lucifer for her behavior and thank him for what he did.
She pushed the door open and stepped out of the restaurant. Unfortunately, she was too late as she saw the Dragon fly high in the sky, carrying Lucifer.
Lucifer left, disappearing into the horizon. It was unclear if he was ever going to be seen again.

High above the cloud, Lucifer traveled, sitting on top of the Dragon. The Dragon consumed a bit more energy than him using his winds to fly, but the Dragon also traveled faster, at lightning speed. For now, Lucifer only cared about speed since he had taken care of his enemies, and there wasn’t going to be any problem at the moment even if he spent a bit more than usual.
After a long flight, Lucifer finally reached an island in the middle of the sea. He jumped off the Dragon and landed on the Island, straight in the center.
In the center of the island, there lay something which Lucifer wanted. He picked up what appeared like a heart with a smirk on his face.
When he had killed Licorice, he hadn’t destroyed him entirely. Instead, he had saved the heart of Licorice, all because of one reason. He had realized it long ago that he could absorb the strength from Monsters and from Variants. Licorice was the strongest Dungeon Dweller, so of course, he was going to have lots of abilities. Those were what Lucifer was after.
Licorice had made his life so hard. It was time he got something back to Licorice for all the trouble that guy caused him. Moreover, Lucifer needed to go to the world of Summons to get back the last fragment that was there. In that world, he needed to face two of Licorice’s generals. He knew he needed strength to defeat them now that he didn’t have the unlimited Vessel Strength.
However, his biggest problem was Jian, whose body was occupied by someone. That was what Lucifer was most worried about, and that’s also why he needed as much strength as he could get.
Lucifer took off his robe and his shirt, getting bare chested before he started the processing.
He stabbed his claws in his own chest, making a huge hole. He entered the heart in his body and started letting the decay take place. The heart started decaying inside Lucifer’s body, turning into his own strength. Many new ability cores appeared inside the body of Lucifer. He could feel the strength emanating from those cores. This was an incredible strength!
That strength was on par with the strength of his evolved lightning core of not more.
His chest healed, and the wound closed. Lucifer wiped the blood from his chest with some water before he wore the clothes once again.
“That was worth it,” Lucifer muttered, yawning. “It seems like I’m done on earth now. Just basic things left.”

Throughout the next few days, Lucifer traveled from country to country on his lightning dragon, making sure that he met the leaders of that country. He challenged each country to defeat him, no matter how many Warlocks they used, and if they didn’t, they had to surrender.
Fortunately, no country was daring enough. They had seen the might of those Dragons. They knew it was impossible to defeat them. Their Warlocks had already failed in defeating the beasts that these Dragons ate alive!
One after another, all the countries surrendered to Lucifer, swearing their loyalty. Even the nations which were working together in the past to resist Lucifer’s occupation couldn’t dare now that he had a dragon.
Twelve days! It took Lucifer twelve days to travel to all the countries in the world and convince them to Surrender. He even went to the nation where his old friend used to stay, who he had met on a ship when he traveled to the past and convinced him.
In less than two weeks, Lucifer had finished the takeover of the entire world! Now every nation bowed to him and listened to his commands.
After being away for two weeks, Lucifer finally returned to Elisium, where he met everyone again. He had decided that Elisium was going to be his base instead of the Warlock Council. This was the place where it all started! This was where his home was. It was only fair that this was his capital.
He had called everyone from Triton to Elisium, including his family, who were already waiting for him here.
He met everyone again and informed them what he had been doing and where he was. This came as another shock that Lucifer had already finished the takeover.
Lucifer gave Kellian the responsibility to establish Uprising once again, create a proper headquarters and find the members that had abandoned the Uprising after his disappearance.
“Ah, Lucifer!” A voice came from the back suddenly.
“Hmm?” Lucifer turned around. “Kane? What?”
“I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time. I have something important to tell you.” Kane said.
“Go ahead. I’ll listen.”
“First of all, thank you for bringing me back to life as well, but I want to tell you about a betrayal that led to our forces are the Warlock Council, falling last time,” Kane let out, sighing.
“Betrayal?” Lucifer frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Predictor! He was the one who was working for Jian. He leaked the secret information which helped Jian defeat our forces. He is also the one who killed me when I confronted him about it,” Kane explained.
“Predictor, huh,” Lucifer muttered. “Well, for someone who can predict the future, he seems very stupid now. Come, let’s meet our old friend…”
