"Conflict? Not much. Just a bit of back and forth since she believes that she should be the one deciding things in your absence. Nothing major."

"What about the Warlock Council?"

"The Warlock Council hasn't attacked us so far. In fact, they're awfully silent. There has been no movement on their side until now. So we were thinking about following the old plan that you set." 

"The plan about attacking their base instead?" Lucifer asked, understanding what Salazar could be talking about. "Where are you right now?"

"I am still at the base. But yeah, that's the plan I'm talking about. It took longer than I expected, but everything is ready. I was about to take the Nobles and sneak inside Triton to take out the Warlock Council before they could realize anything," Salazar answered. "Where are you? Will you join us?"

"I will join you all as well. I'll meet you in Triton. As for where I'm not sure. Just stay put there and wait for me. I'll tell you everything later. Don't attack anyone there. And don't forget to send me your coordinates after getting there."

Lucifer disconnected the call after delivering his commands. 

He kept the glasses back in his pocket before turning back. 

He noticed Jane looking at him. "What are you looking at?"

"Were you talking to your friends with those glasses? Can I see them?"

"No need," Lucifer lazily replied. 

He walked back to the seat and started waiting for the treatment to be completed. 

After a couple of hours, a beeping sound filled the entire place. 

"We are done," Jane commented. The mist started clearing on its own before it disappeared entirely, showing Salazar's body which was flowing in the air. There was no burn on his body. It looked clear as new. 

It was similar to Lucifer's healing. His body was back to its original state. The only difference between the treatment and his healing was that his healing was faster and had no limitation. It could bring him back to life, even from death. 

On the contrary, this healing only worked on people who were only alive. 

The bed came up again, and the body of Salazar was placed back on the bed. 

Jane stepped closer to Salazar, checking his pulse. "Yup. He is perfectly fine. He's just sleeping now. Do you want to let him sleep or wake him up?"

"Wake him up," Lucifer replied, getting close to Salazar as well. He shook his body. "Get up."

"Huh? What?" Salazar slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

His eyes were slightly blurry, but they soon regained his focus. He found himself inside a white room. Jane and Lucifer were standing around him. 

"You?" He asked, looking at Jane. 

"Yeah, me." Jane smiled. "I'm the reason you're still alive. Want to thank me?"

"Reason I'm alive?" Salazar asked, frowning. "Ah, that attack!"

He rubbed his back, surprised that it wasn't hurting anymore. 

"You are healed, don't worry," Lucifer patted the shoulder of Salazar. "Now, get up if you have had enough rest already."

"And wear these." He returned the clothes to Salazar. "We can't go back home like that."

Salazar stood up, wearing the clothes before he stretched his arms, testing. "That's true. I feel perfectly fine. Not bad."

"Where is Jenilia?" he asked. He couldn't find her in the room. 

Lucifer raised his hand without even looking back. 

Salazar looked in the direction of his finger, noticing two coffins beside each other. One was something he had seen before at the core of the crater, but the second was different. 

"She is... Dead?" he asked, frowning. 

"She couldn't survive," Lucifer answered. "Only two of us are left."

Salazar took a deep breath, sighing. "That energy wave came out of nowhere. If I had any idea, I..."

"Don't blame yourself. Even I didn't see it coming, let alone you."

"That second coffin... It was at the core of the attack. Did you check it?"

"I did. I'll tell you later about it," Lucifer lazily said. 

"Since you're in a hurry to leave, let me take you to the exit," Jane chimed in, trying to get Lucifer to leave. "I'll also give you the map to the city to make it easier for you."

"City map? Don't need one."

"Huh? You don't want to go to the city? You don't want to go back home?"

"I don't need to go to City to go back home," Lucifer replied. "Why would I when you have a portal to get me out yourself?"

"What? We don't!" Jane took a step back. 

"Look. I've had enough of a bad day. But even then, I'm not stupid enough to not recognize lies. You have a way to get me out. And if you want to stick to lies, I'd be happy to send you all to hell!"

"Y-you promised me!" Jane fiercely replied. 

"Promise?" Salazar let out, smiling wryly. "You are really naive, lady."

He had seen enough of Lucifer's promise to see things through. This guy could promise to get to his goal, only to break it when it suited him.

Lucifer was the most selfish man he had seen in this regard, but then again, he was also someone who was willing to do anything to save him. So he wasn't that selfish for his close ones. At least not to the same extent. 

"Don't try to teleport, or you'll regret," Lucifer warned the lady, seeing her hand move slowly. 

Even Salazar was getting impatient by now. "Look lady. I am grateful that you helped me. But you're also the reason so many people died today. We just wanted a way back."

"You sealed us and left. Then again, we didn't attack you. We asked for a way back again, but you came with the other warriors to attack us."

"We still didn't attack the academy and left you alive. Still, you didn't answer us and escaped. If you had answered us, our friend wouldn't have been dead as we would be gone already. It had been three times already. Send us back! Why do you chase death?"

Jane looked at Salazar and Lucifer, getting slightly pressured. 

"I... Fine! I have a way back, but I can't send you through that. There is a main Teleportation chamber in the academy underground. That can be used for intercontinental travel. But I can't use that. Only our Dean knew the code to enter, and he's dead."

"So even though I lied about not having a way back here, but I didn't lie entirely. It's the truth that we can't send you back. I'm just an ordinary teacher. I can't use that teleportation portal."

"Another lie. Go ahead and do your thing," Salazar lazily said to Lucifer, turning his back on Jane.. He had enough of her delaying them.
