Chapter 844: Only way

” If we take the bodies of your parents out of the crystal, they’ll be absorbed by the dungeon, and the refining will be complete; then, there will be no way to bring your parents out. However, if we manage to destroy the dungeon and free the souls of your parents before bringing their bodies out, The souls could find their way to the bodies, and they could return back to life.”

” The bodies are still in a perfect condition after all. As I said, you stand to benefit more from this partnership than us. We only get to go out. That’s the only thing that we got from this partnership.”

“On the other hand, not only do you get to go out just like us because you’re also trapped here, But you also get your friends back, and you get your dead parents back. That’s why I see no reason for you to say no. There is not a single reason at all. So I shall ask once again, Do you accept our offer?” Licorice asked, already knowing the answer.

He had covered all bases already. The weak Lucifer was here, but the connection was the same. That was all he needed. Now everything had fallen into place. Not only did he not have to fight to convince Lucifer, but he could also get him to help willingly.

Lucifer kept looking at his parents. He didn’t even need to think about this question. Even if there weren’t any other offers and just the life of his parents, he would’ve taken it in a heartbeat. Everything else was just a bonus. He couldn’t believe his parents were going to return to him.

He turned back to Licorice, nodding. “I accept the offer. What do I need to do?”

” Good decision,” Licorice replied, smiling. “What you need to do is simple. You just need to allow me free access to your heart and mind. Using that connection to you, I can manipulate my own abilities to destroy this Dungeon and the barrier altogether,” Licorice exclaimed.

“As soon as the Dungeon is destroyed, the barrier will also be gone, and we’ll be free along with your parents.”

“I’m ready.” Lucifer nodded. “I’m willing to do anything as long as it saves my parents!”

“Wait, Lucifer!” Salazar chimed in. “I also want your parents to return but are you sure that this is the right decision? You are literally freeing one of the worst and the strongest dungeon dwellers on Earth. They can literally destroy the earth and all life.”

“Your parents fought hard in the last great war to keep these monsters away. Would they want to come back if the price was freeing these things?” Salazar asked, not thinking this was the right decision.

He couldn’t just agree to it. They were putting everything at risk.

“You’re wrong. Your parents fought the misguided Baltics who didn’t have us to stop them. Things would be different this time,” Licorice responded. “Moreover, what did your parents get even after fighting for others? The same people, in the end, betrayed him?”

Licorice wanted his hand, bringing forth a mirror that started playing the scene of all the plotting against his father and all the insults that were tossed at Zale to remind Lucifer.

“I’m sure you already know it, but don’t be stupid. Sometimes it’s good to be selfish. If your parents were selfish, they could’ve survived. Do you want to make a sacrifice for others as well for no reason at all?” he asked after showing Lucifer everything that he didn’t know about.

Seeing all the betrayal, Lucifer was shaken. Especially, seeing his own friends betray Zale was something he hadn’t expected. At this point, he hadn’t known about it.

Seeing everything, his mind was made up. He wasn’t going to sacrifice for those humans! The same people that kept him in a facility and tortured him as if he was nothing but a commodity! The same people that betrayed his parents who were fighting for them. Those people didn’t deserve his consideration.

“Don’t listen to him! You can’t trust him either!” Salazar again exclaimed. He already knew about everything. He had found out at the same time as Lucifer in the past. “Don’t fall for his scheme!”

“Shut up!” Lucifer snapped. “I don’t care what you say! I’ll do what’s best for my family!”

Since he didn’t know Salazar, he couldn’t care less about what the guy was saying. Seeing Lucifer snap, the Salazar was taken aback. However, he could also understand that Lucifer wasn’t going to listen to anyone when it came to his father. It was understandable.

Moreover, it wasn’t as if he could do anything to stop Lucifer. He was already a hostage until now. It was clear he couldn’t face Licorice. Also, even if he was ready to fight, not only did he have to fight Licorice but Lucifer as well.

Yaliza had been silent so far. He was more focused on another statement which was that they were sealed here as well. If the Dungeon wasn’t broken, they couldn’t leave as well. So was he really willing to spend an eternity here? The answer was no.

“I think we need to support him. He’s right here. We need to destroy this Dungeon,” he told Salazar. “We need to take a leap of faith. These people have kept us alive so far. They aren’t truly that bad people, it seems. Moreover, you can’t say they kept it alive as bait. If all they needed was bait, then his parents were enough. I think we should work together to get out of here.”

“You too want to trust them? Did you forget what happened in the last great war and how many people died? My parents had almost died there as well. It was because of the sacrifice of brave Warlocks that we managed to stop them. You want that to be repeated again? This time with even stronger Dungeon Dwellers?” Salazar asked in response.

“In fear of the future, we can’t spoil our present,” Yaliza replied.

“Well, I would love to hear you talk, but you don’t matter here. Only Lucifer’s decision matters,” Licorice lazily stated. “And he had made a decision. I don’t need more.”

“Now, let’s go to the place where we need to be to start.” Lucifer placed his hand on the shoulder of Lucifer and disappeared.

A few minutes after he disappeared, Milena entered the mansion. She finally managed to get here, thanks to all the distraction in the back.

“Yaliza, Salazar! You two are here. Where is Lucifer?” she asked, stopping before them.

She also noticed the crystal with Lucifer’s parents. She was tasked to save them. However, before she could even attempt to take them out, Salazar told him why she couldn’t do that and that they were dead.

He also told her everything that he heard. The Dungeon was going to be destroyed, and all beasts were going to be out!
