"As I said, I'll take care of the creature in front of you. And I'll also take care of the creature behind you," Lucifer said as winds moved back.

Everyone's hair flew with the wind, which brushed against their skin.

Screech!

A screeching sound filled the entire hall. Everyone turned back to find that strange creature standing behind them. It was the one that was screeching in pain.

It was all because Lucifer sliced the spikes that were reaching out towards his team members. In fact, one of the spikes was just a few inches behind Uzuki and Cassius when Lucifer sliced them all.

"To hurt my team, you'll need my permission first," Lucifer said as he flew towards the ugly beast behind them.

Tens of spikes came out of that creature to impale Lucifer, who was flying towards him.

None of these spikes reached him though. His wind blades kept slicing all the spikes that were coming towards him, making that creature scream in pain as it started climbing the wall to run.

"Not going to happen," Lucifer declared, using his lightning to kill the beast. His wind blades were useful in cutting the spikes, but they weren't able to harm the skin of this creature which was as hard as metal.

Unfortunately, even with that skin, he couldn't escape lightning. The pitch black lightning bolt closed in on the creature, ready to impale him.

Before the lightning bolt could hit that creature, a golden energy barrier appeared in front of him to protect this creature.

Unfortunately for this creature, even the barrier couldn't resist the lightning. The barrier shattered like a glass window, breaking into pieces.

It couldn't provide any protection at all. The lightning bolt passed through the forehead of the strange creature, leaving a big hole in his head. The creature dropped to the ground.

"Why aren't you all attacking?" Lucifer asked everyone, realizing that they were still standing there without even looking back.

"Ah, you should look back," Uzuki softly said.

Lucifer turned around, wondering what they were talking about. He soon realized it though.

Now he understood why everyone was asking for him to turn back.

He was able to see the entire Hunter Union Squad facing them. Now that their faces were in their direction, he could see more clearly.

These people... Didn't look human.

And a strange parasite-like insect was growing out of their chest where that strange creature's spike had impaled them.

Moreover, the eyes of these men were pitch black. The ugly Parasite-like insects were wriggling around their chest.

"No matter what happens, don't let those spikes hit you! You understand? I think those have some strange effect of making you lose your senses while leaving the controlling parasites inside your body!" Lucifer warned everyone.

" Don't make the mistake of underestimating them like the Hunter Union did if you don't want to end up looking like that!" he added.

"Alicia! It's your responsibility! Stand back and stay prepared with our barriers! Keep your eyes open! Wherever someone is about to hit with the spikes, protect them with your barriers and get them more."

"Uzuki, you also stay back. You're a long-range fighter. You're of no use in this battle!"

"Yaliza, take care of the Hunter Union members if someone gets past me! Kill them all without letting that parasite touch you!"

"Cassius, I'm going after that creature. Provide me back up!"

After commanding everyone, Lucifer flew towards the other Dungeon Dweller standing behind the wall of Hunter Union Members.

Just like Lucifer flew towards that creature, the Hunter Union members ran towards him, prepared to attack.

"Cassius, now!" Lucifer yelled without looking back.

Cassius slashed with his sword horizontally. The beam of his Divine Sword Energy flew like lightning towards Lucifer.

Just as the arc of light reached him, Lucifer flew higher, dodging the arc of light. As for the attack, it hit the Hunter Union Members, slicing most of them in half.

Only a few of them had managed to escape, jumping at the last moment. As for the ones who dodged, it included Zeiss, Zaria, and a few other top warlocks.

Even though they had lost their sense, they still had some reflexes and their powers to help them.

"Without your senses, you're all nothing but puppets. You're useless," Lucifer declared, firing hundreds of lightning bolts, attacking the lost Warlocks.

Most of the people that had dodged the sword attack couldn't Dodge the blades, and they weren't smart enough to know how to protect them now that they had lost their senses and even brains.

This time, only Zeiss survived, casting a protective barrier in front of him to protect him from the wind blades.

Lucifer fired a lightning bolt this time. He knew, if there was actual Zeiss before him, he could still find a way to escape but not this one.

Just as Lucifer expected, this guy formed the barrier again, not using any brain. The barrier shattered, and the bolt impaled the body of Zeiss.

Without forgetting, Lucifer fired another lightning bolt at the creature that was on the chest of Zeiss.

As Lucifer killed Zeiss, almost all of the Hunter Union members here were dead. No one managed to get past him at all.

Tuck!

The sound of something hitting came from behind Lucifer. Turning around, he noticed that the beast had attacked him with a spike again, but Alicia cast her barrier to stop that attack before it could even reach Lucifer.

Alicia continued casting more and more barriers, soon locking that beast in the prison of barriers.

"Well, that was easier than we thought," Uzuki commented, smiling. They had killed the Hunter Union so easily, all thanks to this creature, and now, they had trapped him as well.

Lucifer landed on the ground, right in front of the beast which was struggling in the barrier. His spikes weren't able to break the barrier.

"It's weaker than I expected. For a beast to not be able to break your barriers, it's not strong. I guess that's why the stone beast had the Beast Core and not this guy," Lucifer said, turning around.

He looked at Alicia and others, putting his guard down. His back faced the strange creature who was inside the barrier cage.

"I wonder how it managed to catch all Hunter Union members. I know they probably underestimated him, but they shouldn't have mattered this much," he said, only to then hear a shattering sound.

The barrier of Alicia was shattered by the spike of this creature. The spike impaled Lucifer, entering from his back and leaving from his chest.

Something akin to a smile formed on the lips of this ugly beast.
