Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Alone on the island
Lucifer has an obsession with Atlas Academy's Credits. He needed them, he craved them. Lucifer needed as many Credits as possible to be able to exchange for something in Atlas Academy's treasury.
As the author, Lucifer knew that if a student had enough Credits, the student could buy anything, even the Items in Atlas Academy's treasury. But the problem was that the students didn't know about this treasury, but Lucifer was different since he was the author.
There was one thing that Lucifer wanted in Atlas Academy's treasures, which was a potion that could cure any poison in the world, even level 100 poison.
Once Lucifer had that potion, he could drink a poison higher than the level of his transformation curse, then Lucifer just needed to drink the antidote and the curse would be removed.
Since Lucifer didn't have much time left, he had to try extremely hard to buy that potion. If Lucifer didn't have enough time, he would have to secretly steal it.

After successfully killing the Giant-level monster, Lucifer took a photo and sent the location to the teacher as proof that his group had killed a Giant-level monster.
The teacher would then send a robot to clean up the corpse, and then they would add points to Lucifer's group.
Since the students' scores were kept secret during the test, Lucifer couldn't know anyone's scores, including his teammates.
Lucifer's wounds had also stopped bleeding, but that didn't mean they hurt any less. Lucifer had to continue looking for his teammates, so he forced himself to stand up even though his whole body was sore and sore.
Lucifer continued his journey.
***
It had been an hour since Lucifer defeated the Beast-level monster, but he still hadn't found his teammates yet.
Occasionally, he encountered a few Beast-level monsters, but they weren't too much of a problem for him. With Lucifer's current power, he could easily defeat them.
However, there were some special cases, such as when they came in packs. In those cases, Lucifer would just hide because he didn't have the confidence to fight more than 10 monsters at once.
Suddenly, Lucifer heard voices in front of him. It was definitely not the voice of a monster or an animal, but the voice of a human.
In this test, students were allowed to fight each other, causing other students to leave the island because that would give them a higher score on the rankings.
Therefore, human-human battles were very common on this island.
Since Lucifer still didn't know whether the group in front of him were members of Lucifer or someone else, he had to be wary of them. Just one wrong move and he would become their target.
Lucifer slowly approached the group of people who were talking. He had to constantly hide behind the trees to avoid being discovered by them.
As he got closer and closer, Lucifer was sure that they were not his group members. Frustrated, Lucifer turned around but suddenly stepped on a tree branch.
In this quiet forest, even the slightest noise was enough to be heard by others. Right after Lucifer stepped on that branch, a boy in black suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him.
Even though the boy was holding a huge hammer, his speed was still faster than Lucifer's speed when running at full speed. Perhaps it was the Ability of the boy in black.
But because Lucifer's reflexes had been increased by 10%, he quickly used Shadow Movement and merged with the shade of a tree nearby.
Lucifer thought he had escaped, until a series of ice arrows came charging at him. It seemed to be the Ability of the cloaked man who was still standing in the same place.
'Damn it!'
Lucifer tried to dodge the ice arrows, but a few still pierced him. Luckily, the wounds were only shallow scratches.

With no time to waste, Lucifer hurriedly ran deep into the forest, trying to shake off the pursuers. Behind him, the hammer-wielding man and the cloaked man were still chasing Lucifer.
'Wait, where's the other one?'
It didn't take long for Lucifer to get his answer. The last one was in front of Lucifer, and beside him was a golem larger than a truck.
Maybe that guy couldn't see Lucifer while he was using Shadow Movement, but if that was the case, then the guy just had to use his golem to smash around and Lucifer would be hit anyway.
In front was a golem, and behind him was a guy with a hammer and a guy who could shoot ice arrows. Lucifer had absolutely no idea whether to move forward or back.
So he decided to turn right.
Even so, the other three guys were still chasing after him. They probably wanted to make him leave the island at all costs.
Even if they had 3 people with extremely powerful Ability and a golem, Lucifer would not lose. Lucifer had one advantage, that was he had been in this area longer than the others. He had more information about this area than the 3 people chasing him from behind.
Lucifer was not running aimlessly, he already had a plan in mind and now he just needed the deciding factor that would lead him to victory.
'There it is!'
Lucifer ran into a dark and deep cave, the 3 people still decided to chase Lucifer because they believed that he would not be able to do anything when facing 3 people at the same time.
The cave was getting deeper and deeper but they were still chasing him. More importantly, the golem couldn't enter because it was too big, but they were still confident of winning with only 2 people.
It was a stupid decision.
After running for a while, all of them suddenly stopped, or rather, they couldn't move forward anymore.
In front of them were more than 30 monsters that looked like wild boars but were a bit bigger, with large and keen fangs growing from their mouths.
Their bodies had a few scratches, although they were quite shallow, but that was enough to make them go crazy. The monsters growled when they saw the 3 people chasing Lucifer.
Their eyes were blood red, showing that they were very mad. 1 second later, more than 30 monsters simultaneously charged towards the 3 people chasing Lucifer with their mouths wide open.
From inside the cave, Lucifer's sarcastic, mocking voice echoed:
"Let me teach you guys something. When you encounter an opponent that you have no chance of winning against, what should you do? The answer is very simple, just let the stronger ones handle those opponents for you."
