Chapter 478: The Temple

The fourth hand was holding what appeared to be a small bowl. The bowl was also made of stone, but that wasn't the intriguing part about it. The most intriguing part about it was what was inside the bowl. 

The bowl was filled to the brim with real blood. And worm-like insects were swimming in the bowl. Unlike the other things, the insects were actually alive though. 

The fifth hand was completely different. It wasn't holding anything odd. Instead, it was simply holding a shield made of stone which wasn't very big. The shield was only the size of a human head which couldn't protect much for anyone.

Lucifer remained on the ground, unmoving for some reason. It looked like he was simply sleeping as his heartbeat was completely normal.. The pale face did look a bit odd though. 

Moreover, the blood formation under him also appeared to be growing bigger for some reason. It was unclear if it was actually slowly expanding or it was a misconception. 

Salazar and the others had no idea that Lucifer was inside the Temple. And even if they began searching for him in the city, it was unclear if they could even find Lucifer here since it was evident that no person had entered this place, looking at the gates. 

Moreover, the room in which Lucifer was lying wasn't on one of the floors of the Temple. Instead, it was on the underground floor of the Temple.

Lucifer had left the Palace, following Sirius, who promised to show him something important which could answer why Sirius had helped Milena.

Even though Lucifer was suspicious that it could be a Trap, he also knew that it was a good opportunity to get some answers. 

Moreover, he was a bit confident in himself, thinking he could take care of traps even if there were any. He didn't realize what it actually was that was going to happen and how serious it could be. 

"Where are we going?" Lucifer caught up to Sirius and asked. 

As Sirius was walking, he also walked instead of flying. 

"You'll get all the answers soon. And I'm sure after you know the truth, you'll also think that you should support me," Sirius replied. 

"I doubt that will happen though," Lucifer responded. "But what is that place? It doesn't seem like we're going towards the Royal Palace."

"That's because we aren't. We are going to a different place. We are going to a place where it all started," Sirius replied calmly. 

Even though it was evening when they left the Palace, for some reason, the path that they took didn't have many people there. Most of the roads seemed empty. 

Seeing this, Lucifer grew slightly suspicious. 

As if he could read Lucifer's mind, Sirius spoke, "I'm just taking this path because I know it's mostly empty. I don't want there to be a commotion when people see me walking with you. I have a reputation to maintain."

As that excuse sounded valid, Lucifer nodded. But he didn't lower his guard. He was still suspicious. 

Through a complicated maze of pathways, Lucifer and Sirius treaded through the city, not seen by anyone. 

Sirius had also used a different color cloak instead of his usual white. Moreover, Lucifer already had a green cloak. The cloaks hid their faces. 

After walking through most of the city, Sirius finally stopped at the entrance of what seemed like a forest. 

"This is the place? A forest?" Lucifer asked, intrigued. "What's special about this place?"

"This isn't the place, but we're close," Sirius said, stepping inside the forest. Lucifer also followed him.

"Around ten years ago was the first time I came here," Sirius finally said after a long time as he continued walking. 

"With Milena?" Lucifer asked, curious. 

"No. I came here with my Army. It was at the time when the Four Empires had attacked the Divine Empire. All four Empires had sent their armies to destroy the Divine Empire entirely," Sirius replied. 

"My Arian Empire was responsible for destroying the North part of the Divine Empire, and so I did. It was an interesting experience as it was my first crusade. I destroyed anything I saw in my path except one thing!" he continued. 

"My crusade stopped in this forest as I found it," he further added. 

"Found it? Found what?" Lucifer asked, confused. 

"Look there." Sirius pointed ahead. 

Lucifer looked in the direction only to find more trees, but he could also see the top of the Tower in the distance. 

"That tower?" he asked. 

"That's right. That is the Temple that changed everything. That's where I found it," Sirius said. 

"Found what?" Lucifer asked. 

"You'll see. It's a really fascinating thing. I'm sure you'll love it too."

"Is it a treasure?"

"Something akin to that. It's hard to describe at the moment. But you'll understand more when we get there."

After a little more time, the two of them finally stopped in front of the temple, which stood fifty meters tall. 

"It doesn't look like someone has been here in decades," Lucifer muttered as he noticed the lock on the door. "Do you have the keys?"

"We don't need keys," Sirius replied. "Moreover, it's not right to say that no one has entered this place in decades. I myself entered. Just that I used a different path."

Sirius stepped forward and placed his hand on the walls of the temple, and closed his eyes. 

As if feeling the texture of the wall, he continued moving sideways. 

Standing behind, Lucifer wondered what this man was trying to do. Was he finding some secret switch in the walls?

His assumption turned out to be correct as he heard a clicking sound. 

"Here it is," Sirius let out as he stepped. A small section of the wall had moved back with just a little force.

"Is that a secret switch?" Lucifer asked. 

"Yeah. The first time I came here, I accidentally rested my hand in this spot which opened this pathway. I entered through this place. If this pathway hadn't opened at that time, I might have destroyed this temple too."

"Because there was no way to enter the Temple. The lock on the gates was simply unbreakable. Anyway, this is where we enter from."

A door shaped opening appeared in the wall as that section of the wall entered the ground. 

"Are you coming?" Sirius asked, gesturing for Lucifer to hurry. "Come fast; it'll close on its own!"

Lucifer didn't instantly reply as there was something inside him that was telling him that he shouldn't go in with an enemy.
