"That's right. Man, all I did was kill a bunch of trash humans that were messing with my other self. Did you all really have to arrest me for that? Even in Zeston, I never suffered humiliation like that," Uzuki said, rolling his eyes.

"Step aside and let me leave," he added.

"Not so fast. I'm freeing you, but this freedom doesn't come without a cost. You'll have to help me in exchange," Lucifer told Uzuki, not moving at all.

"Kid, you should really not make me repeat myself. I have a really short temper. Move aside now," Uzuki warned Lucifer.

His words seemed to fall on deaf ears as Lucifer didn't move at all. "I said what I said."

"Enough is enough!" Uzuki let out as his figure flickered.

He appeared in front of Lucifer and stabbed his bare hand inside Lucifer's shoulder. His hand passed through Lucifer's shoulder.

"A little down, and your heart would have been gone. I intentionally missed, and you won't die from it. Since you're young, I'm not killing you. Next time, learn to behave," Uzuki grimly said as he prepared to pull his hand out.

"Is that so?" Lucifer asked, not reacting much.

He didn't look like he was in pain. In fact, seeing his face, no one would have expected that someone's hand was inside his body now.

Uzuki pulled his hand out, leaving a big hole in Lucifer's shoulder.

But there was also surprise on his face. Why didn't Lucifer look like he was in pain? Anyone would be lying on the ground, groaning in pain after this much. But this guy was simply standing like nothing had happened. What was happening?

Alicia shook her head, sighing. "I feel bad for you, young man."

Hearing Alicia speak like that, Uzuki was stunned. Why was she talking like that? Why was she feeling sad for him instead of her friends?

Even Cassius sighed. "You shouldn't have done that."

Both of them had seen how heavy-handed Lucifer was with other prisoners. And they were the ones that hadn't even attacked him that badly. They could see what was going to happen.

"What the freaking hell?" Uzuki exclaimed in shock as he saw the hole in Lucifer's chest close rapidly.

"What are you?" He asked Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't answer though. He looked at his wound heal while also looking at the blood which was on his clothes now.

"I liked these clothes," he softly said.

"What?" Uzuki asked, unable to hear what Lucifer said.

Unfortunately, he soon understood why everyone was pitying him.

He didn't know how it happened, but he felt a little pain in his neck.

Frowning, he raised his hand and touched his neck with his fingers. He felt pain as he touched his neck.

Raising his hand, he looked at those fingers to find blood on them.

It was clear to him. There was a cut on his neck. But it wasn't deep enough to harm him. It just seemed like a show of force.

"A little deep, and your neck would have been gone. I intentionally missed, and you won't die from it. Since you're young, I'm not killing you. Next time, learn to behave," Lucifer said, repeating the same line that Uzuki had used before.

Uzuki was feeling enraged. He wanted to go all out and kill all three that stood before him, but he was also intrigued about what he saw. The boy before him had healed within seconds. Was that his power?

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Lucifer Azarel. I'm the one who owns this place now," Lucifer answered. "And I'm the only one who can give you your freedom."

"You own this place? Wasn't that Varant? That crazy bastard who I couldn't defeat?" Uzuki inquired. "How can you be the leader here? You're nothing but a kid."

"I think you should know that the person you're calling a kid killed Varant and all his strongest Warlocks here. Varant is no more," Alicia chimed in, telling Uzuki about Lucifer.

"The heck? I fought Varant personally! How can someone like him defeat that guy? You're bluffing!" Uzuki let out, rolling his eyes. He just couldn't believe it.

"You don't have to believe it. The truth won't change. You're the one underestimating him. He is the person who had wiped out the strongest in the APF, and now he has taken over this place. It would be in your best interest to listen to him," Alicia replied.

"Meh, you're all lying. This should be the trick of that Varant. He must be having fun somewhere watching all this. Am I right?" Uzuki inquired, rolling his eyes

"As for your sneak attack, this is a good trick, but it won't work next time," he said, refusing to believe.

A semi-transparent barrier appeared around his skin. "That weak attack can't harm me anymore."

Lucifer didn't answer or explain anything. Instead, he took action straight away.

His hand moved at lightning-fast speed as he punched the chest of Uzuki, who was seemingly confident in himself.

The barrier was undoubtedly powerful. Even after Lucifer's punch, it didn't break. But it was also because he didn't attack with more strength.

Still, Uzuki couldn't stand his ground. He flew back like a toy, crashing into the wall behind because of the punch.

Lucifer didn't stop there as he raised his finger towards Uzuki. He fired a lightning bolt in the direction of Uzuki, but the bolt didn't hit him.

It hit the wall a few inches away from Uzuki's head.

Uzuki rubbed his neck, which was in pain while he looked at the part of the wall where the lightning crashed.

As he saw the portion of the wall, his lips opened slightly. He could see a hole in the wall. But it wasn't just that.

Through the hole, he could see that it wasn't the only wall that had a hole. Other walls behind this one also had holes. This attack hadn't broken a single reinforced wall but multiple.

This was enough for him to understand how powerful this attack was. These walls were something that even he couldn't break. They were made for special prisoners, but this single attack made a hole in them?

Just who was this guy? His strength was powerful. He could attack using the wind, and he could use such powerful lightning?

"Are you willing to listen or not? Next time, I won't let you live. The only reason you're still alive is because I need people like you in my team for what I'm about to do in a few days. But if you want to be stubborn, I'll be ready to bear the loss of one," Lucifer reminded Uzuki.
