Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Good night
After traveling for a few hours, their group had to face many monsters and many humans as well because Lucifer was marked.
Just like usual, Adam would have killed all the monsters but he only made the human unconscious and did nothing to them. Although they certainly would not appreciate Adam for what he did, Adam still wanted to do it.
It could be said that Adam was the most hero-like person that Lucifer knew. He had the personality, strength, and dignity of a great hero.
In addition, their group also met Hikaru in a cave and Lucian who was resting near a river. Now their group had gathered.
Thanks to Hikaru's Ability to see the future 3 seconds in advance and Lucian's Ability to strengthen his body for a certain amount of time, killing monsters became much easier for them.
Now, Lucifer was no longer worried about being striked by monsters, but rather worried that they would die too quickly before Lucifer could damage them to get free Experience.
Finally, after about 12 hours, Lucifer was no longer marked on the map. Thanks to that, the group was no longer attacked by humans.
At the same time, the sun was starting to disappear behind the mountains. Dusk was passing and night was approaching.
***
That night, the group decided to rest in a cave that was large enough for everyone to sleep without fear of getting wet from the rain.
After deciding where they would spend the night, Lucifer and Hikaru were assigned to collect firewood, Chaewon and Sierra prepared food, and Adam and Lucian spread out the sleeping bags in the cave.
After about 10 minutes, Lucifer and Hikaru returned to the cave. They also brought a lot of branches and firewood to make a fire.
"The wood is here." Lucifer informed the other members.
Sierra quickly took out a matchbox and started to light the fire. The fire was still small at first, but after adding wood, the fire grew very big.
Unfortunately, they didn't have any raw meat to cook. All they brought were some canned food, nutritional drinks, and protein bars. None of them brought any meat.
'What a pity. If we had meat, we could use this fire to cook them.'
The reason why Lucifer's group decided to make a fire in the forest was simple. If the fire kept the monsters away, they would be able to sleep soundly until morning.
But if the fire attracted the monsters, they could kill them and get more points. With this formation, they could even defeat a Superb-class monster, no joke.
Killing two birds with one stone.
***
Just as their group had predicted. After they lit the fire, a lot of monsters had gathered. But since they were only Beast to Giant level, Lucifer, Adam, and Lucian were able to defeat them quite easily.
While the other three were fighting against the monsters to prevent them from advancing towards the cave, Sierra, Chaewon, and Hikaru were preparing food as if nothing was happening.
It could be said that all the members of the group had confidence in each other's strength.
20 minutes had passed and the monsters had not appeared anymore, perhaps they had successfully dealt with all the monsters around this area. But even so, they still couldn't let their guard down, so the group decided to take turns keeping watch while the others slept.
"The food is done, everyone!" Sierra informed Lucifer, Adam, and Lucian, who were resting after fighting against the monsters.
Apart from Adam and Lucian, Lucifer was the only one who felt extremely tired. He looked at Adam and Lucian with admiration.
'As expected of protagonists...'
After that, they headed towards the cave together.
Since they were on an island, they couldn't eat the rich and delicious food they had at Atlas Academy. Their menu tonight was boxed pasta along with a protein bar and a nutritional drink for dessert.
Even so, they all enjoyed the basic food.
***
That night, they divided the guard duty as follows. First would be Adam, then Hikaru, Lucifer, Sierra, Chaewon, and finally Lucian.
Since Lucifer was someone who treated both boys and girls equally, he also forced Sierra and Chaewon to stand guard with the boys.
Sierra and Chaewon didn't react much and just calmly agreed. Meanwhile, Adam seemed to disagree with Lucifer's plan a bit but he eventually accepted it.
They also agreed to keep the fire burning all night to keep warm. But if the monsters gathered again, the person on guard would have to inform them.
Just like that, Adam climbed a tall tree near the cave to be able to observe the entire area while the rest of the people went into the cave and prepared to go to sleep.
Now, only Adam and Lucifer were left outside.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Adam asked.
"I don't know why, but I feel like there's someone who won't wake the others up and will stand guard all night."
Adam scratched his head in embarrassment:
"So you already know?"

Lucifer stared at Adam, who was on the tree, seriously:
"Listen Adam, you're not allowed to stand guard all night. If you want to be useful to us, get enough sleep so you can fight more monsters tomorrow."
Adam was silent for a long time before replying to Lucifer:
"Okay!"
Hearing that, Lucifer smiled calmly and entered the cave.
"Wait Lucifer, don't you think I'm just fooling you?"
"I believe you."
Although Adam was a person who always cared for others, he was also a person who never broke his promises. If Adam promised something, he would definitely keep it.
"Is that so..."
Adam looked thoughtfully at Lucifer's thin back. For some reason, he felt that Lucifer was very familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had met Lucifer.
But before Lucifer went into the cave, he paused for a moment and turned back to Adam:
"Oh, right, good night, Adam."
After that, Lucifer completely disappeared into the cave.
