Chapter 839: Caught
Lucifer slowly placed his hand on his chest, frowning. The only thing that he could find odd was the fact that his heart was taken out.
He wondered if he and his heart were tossed separately. His body made a new heart for him, whereas his heart remade a new body? Was that how two Lucifer came to be? One was pulled out of the water, starting his life again, while the other was left behind?
It wasn't that he lost his memories but that he didn't make any memories in the first place since he was buried in the sea all this while, bringing his own existence into question.
He wondered if that was even possible, but that was the only thing that could explain this phenomenon.
'If there were two Lucifers, he isn't a clone? He is me? Or am I him? Which one of us would be the real Lucifer? Who came from the body, and who came from the heart? Could this also be the reason why I can't find the Healing Core?'
'That could also explain why the Healing Core is creating complications with the Time Core? Just like Time Core was distorted, maybe my Healing Core also went through the same thing because of the existence of the two of us?'
There were thousands of questions in the head of Lucifer; however, he barely had any answer.
He only had theories about certain possibilities, but he could only be sure of that if he found out where this Lucifer woke up, and was that place near the sea? If that was the case, that could work to prove his conjecture for the most part.
Lucifer placed his fingers on his lips, gesturing for others to stay silent. Even though there was another one of him, in his head, he was the only Lucifer. The two of them might be the same, but they were different at the core. Instead of being clones, at best, they were twins who shared some abilities.
While the old Lucifer had the benefits of experience and knowledge that he managed to grasp after coming out, the new Lucifer lacked both of them. Not only was he limited to four abilities, but he also didn't know how to use his lightning to the best of its abilities.
Even though Jestil was in the misty form, Lucifer could use the evolved form of Dark Lightning to destroy even the misty form with the lightning prison.

"As I thought, it's the explosion. In any case, it doesn't matter. You still hold the key for us to take out the barrier. Your old memories play no role, even though they could've helped us understand some things. But that's for the later. Come, I'll brief you again about your family since you don't remember."freew ebnov el
Licorice placed his hand on the shoulder of Lucifer and started leaving. The others also followed suit.
Hearing the footsteps becoming distant, Lucifer took a glance, watching everyone leave. He sent a small shadow of his to chase after Licorice and others while he waited with Milena and Jian for the others to leave.
After everyone left, Lucifer stepped out. "Come."
"Why are we acting like we're scared? I still don't understand. Why all this hiding? What are you trying to do?" Jian inquired, lazily following Lucifer. "If we came here to spy on people, just tell me so I can stop expecting a battle."
"I'm sure these people have planned a trap. Now that my other self is there, he is working as a good distraction. Through him, we can see what trap they planned. In the meantime, as they are detracted, we can help the hostages escape. That can lessen their leverage on us," Lucifer responded lazily. "Not everything is about the battle. I told you we're here to save someone."
"I understand now," Milena exclaimed."You're right. If they know we're here as well, they can do many things to the hostages, depending on how the battle goes."
"That's right. So before doing anything, I want you to help Salazar and Yaliza, but even before that, we need to find where they're kept. So you can't do anything until then." Lucifer nodded.fr(e)ewebnovel.com
"Heh, I'm here helping you. It's not my first. I won't do anything until you ask me to, don't worry. However, if yours or my life is at risk, I'll be forced to move a hand." Jian smirked.

Licorice escorted Lucifer to a certain section of the Dungeon as he kept talking and introducing different sections of the Dungeon as if he was the guide.
It was like the rest of the cave, similar all around, but one thing was different. There was a small door shaped opening in the wall on the left corner. The opening was covered by a dark barrier which made it impossible to see what was on the other end.
"What's on the other side?" Lucifer asked.
"If you hadn't lost the memories, you would've known what's on the other side. I am sure you saw it on the phone," Licorice responded. "However, now that you forgot all that, I have a feeling you're in for a surprise."
He placed a finger on the barrier. As soon as his fingers touched the barrier, the barrier disappeared, being sucked inside the body of Licorice to the surprise of Lucifer.
When others used barriers, they wasted their energy which they couldn't get back without spending a considerable amount of time, but with Licorice, it was different. He could absorb the same energy that he used to cast the barrier; it was assuming that the barrier was cast by him in the first place.
The barrier disappeared, allowing Lucifer to see the other side.
"Come." Licorice stepped inside the massive room, which was like an entirely different world inside the Dungeon.
So far, Lucifer hadn't seen anything but rock in the entire dungeon, but the room was different. It was like an entirely different world. He could see lush green grass everywhere, like the outside world.
There were no walls on the inside. He could see a beautiful blue sky inside as well. There was no end to the place as far as the eyes could see.
Following Licorice, Lucifer stepped inside. The Shadow of the other Lucifer also tried to enter the space; however, as soon as it entered the place, the red-haired woman turned around.
The shadow of Lucifer paused in its place as if it was trapped in the shackles of time.
"Is that yours?" Licia asked Lucifer, attracting everyone's attention.
Jestil agreed. "That shadow? It seems to be his. He can control them, if I'm not wrong. I wonder why he'll be using his shadows here?"
"That's not mine." Against all his expectations, Lucifer gave a different answer.
