Chapter 55: Chapter 55: 2 people missing
Thanks to the use of Shadow Movement, Lucifer was able to successfully escape from the trees that had crushed his leg just now. Furthermore, just as Lucifer had predicted, his leg was completely broken because it was limp. Lucifer could no longer feel the bones in his leg.
'Damn it!'
Wounds only hurt when humans didn't notice or pay attention to it. And since Lucifer had paid attention to his leg, he immediately felt a sharp pain approaching.
In this state, it was really complicated for Lucifer to move towards the shore, but he had to do so if he wanted to live. Lucifer tried to forget the pain in his leg and moved towards the shore.
If Lucifer's guess was correct, the portal was very far away from his location. Moreover, with his legs broken, it would probably take Lucifer several days to reach the portal.
Lucifer could only hope that the school would send some lecturers or heroes to this island to find him or that the academy had not closed the portal yet.
***
Lucifer thought that he would move very quickly using Shadow Movement but it turned out that he did not. The pain in his leg was constantly tormenting Lucifer so he could hardly concentrate on using Shadow Movement to go.
Every few minutes, Lucifer would have to stop to take a rest. Because of this, his progress was greatly reduced.
Due to this, Lucifer had had another reason to kill Clide. Because of his hatred for Clide and his will to survive, Lucifer had not given up yet. No matter how much his leg hurt, he would not surrender.
Now, the time to use Shadow Movement was about to end. Realizing that, Lucifer quickly climbed a tall tree to avoid being attacked by the monsters while he was waiting for the cool down.
If Lucifer rested down there, there was a high chance that he would encounter some monsters, and then Lucifer would definitely die because he couldn't do anything.
He couldn't fight back against that monster or run away from it. So the safest option was to wait on the tree.
As Lucifer had predicted, the monsters didn't notice him on the tree. There were a few monsters that passed by his location, but they didn't notice Lucifer's presence.
'Idiots.'
Sometimes, there would be a Beast-class monster standing at the base of the tree, although it was defenseless and it would probably be easy to kill it, Lucifer still couldn't risk his life for a little Experience.
Although it was a pity, he had no other choice.
After 20 minutes, Lucifer was able to use Shadow Movement again. He immediately leaped down the tree and merged with the darkness.

While still on the tree, Lucifer noticed that there was a hill nearby, thus, Lucifer decided that his current destination was that hill. On that hill, Lucifer could observe more things.
On the way to that hill, Lucifer encountered a few monsters, but luckily they didn't discover him because he was one with the darkness. But if Lucifer got blood on him, he would definitely be chased immediately.
This hill had no trees or bushes. It was just a hill with lush green grass. Up here, Lucifer could feel a very comfortable and pleasant night breeze.
Of course, Lucifer didn't come here to enjoy himself. He quickly looked towards the coast to see how far it was. But unfortunately, Lucifer couldn't see anything.
It seemed like he was still a long way from there.
Furthermore, all over the island were monsters of the same size as the monster Lucifer had encountered before. All of them were just wandering around the island peacefully.
With no other choice, Lucifer sat down on the hill to rest while waiting for Shadow Movement to cool down.
'The sky is so beautiful...'
Lucifer still remembered the night he and Sierra had spent together watching the night sky, but now he could only admire the night sky alone, lost, without anyone by his side.
Lucifer felt his nose sting.
Suddenly, Lucifer noticed a huge smoke in the opposite direction of the shore he was aiming for.
'What is that?'
Right now, Lucifer had two hypotheses. The first was that the smoke over there was created by a monster, and the second was that the smoke was created by humans.
But no matter who or what created that smoke, the giant monsters around were slowly approaching it.
If it was really a human, Lucifer could accompany that person. He could ask that person to carry him so that his movement would be faster.
But if it was a bad guy like Clide, Lucifer didn't want to accompany him at all.
But since both that person and Lucifer were stuck on this deadly island, they had no choice but to accept cooperation.
In the end, Lucifer decided to go in the direction of that smoke, even if it was in the opposite direction of the direction he was aiming, even if it was being approached by those giant monsters.

20 minutes passed once again, Lucifer quickly used Shadow Movement and rushed towards the smoke.
Currently, the giant monsters were still a few kilometers away from the smoke, so if Lucifer tried his best, he could get there faster than the monsters.
When he arrived, Lucifer discovered a large fire, which was definitely created by humans, but Lucifer could not detect anyone around the fire.
'There is no one?'
Lucifer circled the area twice before confirming that there was indeed no one. But if that was the case, how could there be this fire?
Lucifer felt his heart sink and regretted wasting his Ability.
Lucifer only had 5 minutes left to use his Ability, so he could only return to that hill and continue waiting.
Fortunately, the remaining 5 minutes were more than enough for Lucifer to return to the hill. He immediately stopped using Shadow Movement and returned to his normal state.
But at that moment, someone attacked Lucifer from behind. That person pressed Lucifer face down on the ground and stabbed a sword right in front of him as a warning that if he acted rashly, he would die.
'What's going on?!' Lucifer thought in panic.
Then, the person attacking him sat on his back to make sure he couldn't run anymore.
"Who are you?"
A girl's voice rang out behind Lucifer. Although he couldn't see the girl's face, Lucifer was very familiar with this voice. If what Lucifer thought was correct, this voice belonged to Mask, also known as Luna.
