Chapter 914: The Gift of Immortality



Chapter 914: The Gift of Immortality

The long-haired man gazed at his reflection in the water. The only thing he could recognize in this entire place was his own face which still looked identical to what it looked like centuries ago. There was no difference.

His body was still as well-built as before, even though he had no food for centuries. All he could do was get nutrition from the atmosphere around him to maintain himself.

“Those people… They waged a war over a lie. They killed everyone and even sealed me, and even after all that, they didn’t even protect this place?”

He could sense that the people who sealed him weren’t here. He was able to feel all the life essence in this world, and none of them belonged to those people.

That was also why he didn’t attack Lucifer with all his might. He had sensed that Lucifer wasn’t one of them.

After taking another sip of the water, the young man stood up.

“Centuries have passed since that day. Everything is different. And the people I could blame are no more. My family is also gone. Is there even a purpose for me left in this world?”

The man grew really different. It was as if he had woken after centuries to find out that everything he cared for was gone. Nothing was left.

He jumped inside the lake and let his body float freely without moving at all. He even closed his eyes, letting his body slowly submerge in the water as he tried to think

His body kept drowning in the lake, but the man didn’t appear to be phased.

He remained inside the water for an unknown amount of time, and it didn’t look like he was planning to come out anytime soon. In fact, it even appeared as if the man was sleeping inside the water even though he wasn’t.

In the outside world, the shadows of Lucifer searched for the man everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found.

One of the shadows even reached near the lake and was about to leave before noticing something in the crystal clear water.

****

Lucifer sat on the cliff all alone, wondering if he was ever going to find that person when he realized that he had found him. One of his shadows noticed a body in the middle of the lake.

Without waiting for even a second, Lucifer took off.

The girl he had met last time here just arrived on the cliff to find him sitting there. She was just about to approach him, but before she could, Lucifer flew away.

“It must feel so good to be able to fly. You can go anywhere, and no obstruction can stop you.” Carrying a wry smile on her face, she sat at the edge of the Cliff, wondering where Lucifer was going now.

“If only I were as free and careless as him. I’m stronger than him, yet I’m more worried about the Trials ahead.”

****

Lucifer landed before the lake.

As soon as his firm feet planted on the ground, the dark-skinned man inside the lake opened his beautiful eyes, revealing his green pupils.

His body started rising in the air.

His clothes should’ve been drenched in the water since he spent so much time there, but that didn’t seem to be the case. His clothes were perfectly dry as he got out of the water to land before Lucifer.

“It’s you again,” the man calmly stated.

“Yeah, the guy you punched without warning,” Lucifer responded.

“If you’re here for revenge for that, I would advise you against it. That was me being considerate to you. I didn’t want to kill you since you aren’t those people. But I also wanted peace of mind, so I couldn’t let you chase after me. So I did what I could without hurting you,” the Young Man explained.

“By breaking my jaws,” Lucifer let out, rolling his eyes. If that punch was the gentle punch of this guy, he didn’t want to see the serious one even though he also had the super strength. He wasn’t here to make enemies.

“Your jaws look perfectly fine to me,” the young man answered. “You’d have to be really weak for that hit to break your jaws as well.”

Irritated at the constant back and forth over the topic that didn’t matter for now, Lucifer shifted to the main point. “I’m not here for revenge. I wanted to talk to you.”

“I’m, but a ghost of the forgotten past left all alone in this world. Why would you want to talk to me?” The man inquired, tilting his head sideways.

Even though he was confused by Lucifer’s presence here, he was slightly glad as well. Lucifer didn’t seem like a bad person. He could sense in his tone that he wasn’t here to harm him. He didn’t appear to be angry either. Moreover, the man also felt that it was nice to talk to a person after spending so long in isolation.

“I saw the carvings on the wall in that temple. I believe that was your story?”

“That place was no Temple. It was a prison. And yeah, I made all those carvings on the wall since I was bored,” the man answered. He turned his back on Lucifer and sat at the edge of the lake. “Centuries of Isolation can do that to you. You start doing anything you can to maintain your sanity.”

He didn’t feel Lucifer was a threat to him anymore, so he didn’t need to be alert either. Him showing his back to Lucifer was his way of saying that he was going to trust Lucifer this time.

Lucifer stepped closer to the man and sat beside him. “I did manage to decipher some of that, but I’m not sure if I got it right. There are also some times that I’m confused about. Can you tell me who you really are? And why you were sealed?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am, and it doesn’t matter why I’m sealed. All that matters is that I’m all alone now in this world. I don’t even have someone to take my revenge on. What luck.”

“The first carving where a body was lying before two groups, who did it belong to?”

“That body was from the other clan… A girl from that clan who was killed. And the blame was placed on our shoulders. That led to the war, and the rest is history. The war took such a heavy toll on everyone… If only the war hadn’t happened… If only those people believed that we didn’t do it…”
