"W-who are you?" The man inside the car asked. 

"Hmm? Didn't you already recognize me? A man who was involved in illegal activity? Honestly, you weren't wrong," Lucifer said. "However, I can't let the information get to the city."

"You see, tomorrow is a big day. I'll be going to destroy the Warlock Council. And if the news spreads that there are close to a hundred youngsters in the outside village, the idiots at the Warlock Council can put the pieces together after my arrival. And that is something I don't want."

"That's why I'll have to do something."

"Moreover, you stole my wallet. You deserve punishment for that too."

"What? We didn't steal your wallet!" The man responded. 

"I know. But it's fun to speak fake accusations on others to get your means. Isn't that right, my friend?" Lucifer asked, grinning. 

He grabbed the man by his collar and tossed him outside before pulling out the second man as well. 

Lastly, he also pulled out the driver. 

All three men laid on the ground, looking at Lucifer in fear. None of them was a Variant, but they knew that Lucifer was one. They couldn't resist. They didn't even carry a gun. 

"Decaying you won't give me much energy. But then again, I think I would at least recover what I spent on chasing you so far." Lucifer started taking off his gloves as he walked towards the men. 

Arghhh~

The scream of the men spread far and wide in the silent evening, but no one was here to hear them. Their cries grew silent within seconds. 

Lucifer walked to the car and placed his hand on the bonnet, letting his decay take place as he watched the bright city in the distance. 

"I need to kill quite a lot of people tomorrow to have enough to evolve another ability. Hopefully, I'll get enough for one ability. But which ability should I evolve?"

"Wind is something which could evolve faster since it's lower grade. On the other hand, strength is something which can be good too. But decay..."

He looked behind at the car, which was already mostly destroyed with his decay. 

He was still slightly concerned about his own ability of decay. It was a chaotic ability that wasn't under his control. Despite the evolution, it was already so powerful. As it went through an evolution, he was scared that his life could be hell. 

He might not even be able to eat even with these gloves. But on the other hand, it was his most frightening ability. If he selected that, he could truly become a Warlord that was impossible to defeat. And who knew, evolution might also give him control?

There were many questions in his head, and he knew that he needed an answer soon. Because it wasn't every day that he could absorb S-Rank Warlocks to have enough energy for evolution. He couldn't waste this opportunity. 

He knew he had a tough decision to make ahead of him. 

After the car was completely destroyed, he turned around and flew back to the town.

..

It was midnight. Almost everyone was sleeping except a rare few. 

While Lucifer was sitting on top of the house which he was given, watching at the moon, Milena was inside the house, talking with Jiani. The two ladies were trying to decide what should be their next step. 

For some reason, Lucifer hadn't approached Milena so far, and he even rejected her advances before. That was a bit confusing for them. 

"No, that won't work," Jiani said, rejecting her own suggestion after an hour of deliberation. 

"Isn't it best to just accompany him and be yourself?" Arthur chimed in, getting bored with all this discussion. 

"I think if you want to win the heart of the person, you need to be genuine. I know Her Majesty has many qualities that can make anyone fall for him. Even Lucifer can't stay away. However, I feel like those qualities are being buried under this fake visage," he further added. "So just be yourself. You don't need anything else."

"Arthur, you don't understand. You're still naive in the ways of love. Just leave it to us ladies to decide," Jiani responded. 

"I might not know love, but I do know guys. Then again, It was just a suggestion. You don't need to take it." Arthur shrugged. 

...

After an hour-long planning, Milena stepped out of the small house to spend some time with Lucifer, listening to Jiani. However, as soon as she stepped out, she noticed that Lucifer wasn't alone. 

He was lying on the roof. And Eve was lying beside him. Both of them looked calm and serene together. She walked back inside the house since he wasn't alone. 

"Should I ask how you got up so easily?" Lucifer asked Eve, keeping his focus on the moon. 

"Do you want to ask?" Eve replied. 

"I don't care enough," Lucifer lazily responded. 

Throughout the night, the two of them remained on the roof; however, they didn't talk much. There was a strange kind of beauty in the silence as well. 

Two people who found beauty on the moon after going through hell on earth, lying together in the serene silence. 

It was six in the morning when Lucifer finally moved. 

"Time to leave. Can I trust you not to run away in my absence?" Lucifer asked Eve. 

Even though he asked her, it wasn't as if he was actually going to leave her. He had left Salazar to keep an eye on her in his absence. Even Eve knew that much. 

She simply smiled in response. "You don't need to. Because I'm coming with you."

"And why would I take you with me?" Lucifer asked. 

"Because I'll run away if you don't take me," Eve replied. "You know, Salazar won't be able to stop me."

"Why are you telling me that now instead of running away after I'm gone if that's the case?"

"Because I have a feeling that I can't miss this. Now that I can't access the Dreamland, I can't watch the interaction. And I miss watching. So I'll be coming with you."

"I'm not running a tv channel for your entertainment," Lucifer lazily responded. "It'll be a War Zone and not a meeting. You'll die."

"Hey, I told you already. I'm more resilient than you think. I can survive longer than Arthur, at least."

"My answer is still no." Lucifer jumped down, leaving Eve behind. 

He gathered Eve, Arthur, and Kellian and started flying towards the city, leaving all other Warlocks back in the town, commanding them to start moving towards the city as well.
