Chapter 88: Trap

Even though this kind of wound was nothing for him, he wished to be in his optimal condition when he reached Flourance to kill him instantly.

He dodged the attack without stopping.

"Three seconds before he is at spot zero."

"Two seconds."

Flourance started his reverse count as he watched Lucifer get closer and closer.

"One second," he muttered softly.

Finally, it happened. Lucifer reached the spot where they wanted him.

Lucifer was just a few meters away from Flourance, who seemed like he was whispering something.

Even though he was suspicious, he was prepared to break past every obstruction that was before him. 

Lucifer packed his fist, creating another lightning glove around his fist as he punched out with full strength.

"Welcome to the trap, little mouse," Flourance said as a faint smile appeared on his face.

Lucifer's fist was just a few centimeters away from Flourance when it seemed to hit an invisible wall that he wasn't able to break.

As his fist hit the invisible wall, a ripple was created that allowed Lucifer to see a semi-transparent barrier. The ripple spread around everywhere, revealing a cylindrical barrier around him that was three meters wide.

Stretching his arms, Flourance yawned. "Hah, finally it's over."

Watching Lucifer hitting the barrier, again and again, Flourance started laughing.

"Hah, kid. No matter how much you try. You can't break the prison. You have no idea what precious item it cost for us to set it here. No matter how much you try, you can't break it," Flourance told Lucifer, who kept attacking like a wild beast using his full strength.

Bringing out his phone, Flourance called a number.

"Samuel, the rat is in the trap. The trap won't last for long since its energy is used constantly to ensure that the barrier works. Hurry and start part 2 of our plan. We have ten minutes."

Flourance disconnected the call and started waiting as he folded his arms.

After a few minutes, a military helicopter came flying, which seemed like it was carrying a cylindrical cage that was just as wide as the barrier in which Lucifer was trapped. There was no bottom in the cage.

"Don't worry. You will soon be in a home where you will stay for the rest of your mortal life," Flourance said as he watched the cage being brought by the military helicopter.

...

Xander and the others were still in the helicopter, wondering how the situation might be unfolding in Erygas City. 

"There's still no update. What is going on? With Flourance present there, it should have been over long ago, but Flourance didn't pick up my call, and he didn't call either," Xander muttered as he stood up.

He walked over to the door and looked outside.

"It might be taking long. There are many factors at play there. I am sure Flourance would be taking things slow to make sure that there is no loss of life. We should be getting the good news soon enough," another member of his team sighed as he stood in the back.

...

'The barrier is weakening, but it is really slow. I can only fasten the process,' Lucifer thought as he slowed down the attacks after knowing that the attacks were not as effective.

He stood calmly as he took a deep breath before he gazed at Flourance. 

"No matter what happens. You won't see the day of tomorrow," he muttered softly.

He slowly raised his left hand and let the Decaying power take over, which increased the barrier's depletion by multiple times.

"Hah, do you think we didn't know about the Decaying power you have? We know as well that this barrier won't last for long." Flourance smiled as he watched Lucifer's trick. "That's why we prepared for this as well."

He gazed towards the sky and moved his fingers up and down, gesturing something to the pilot.

The giant metallic cage that the helicopter was carrying started lowering slowly and soon landed on the ground, entrapping Lucifer inside. 

The cage didn't have a base, but even that problem was solved as various metallic blades came out of the cage's bars, stabbing into the ground. They soon connected to a giant metallic plate that was buried underground, completing the cage.

The cage again started rising in the air as the military helicopter pulled up the solid wires connected to the cage.

"I should inform him now that we are done here," Flourance muttered as he pulled out the phone.

...

Xander glanced back and opened his lips to say something when his phone started ringing.

Bringing his phone out of his pocket, he saw the caller ID.

"Looks like you were right," Xander muttered as he picked up the call.

"We got the guy. He is inside the cage. Should we escort him to the base ourselves or wait for you to come?" Flourance asked Xander after giving him the good news.

"If you already caught him, there is no need to wait anymore. Take him to base. I will come to base straight as well," Xander answered calmly. Even though he heard the good news, his emotions' control was the same as before because of his ability.

"Did we lose any people in the mission?" he inquired.

Flourance took a deep pause as he sighed. "Yes. We lost four of our men before we were able to catch him."

"Four men… Fine. Bring their bodies back with you as well. I will see you at the base. You led the mission really well. Even though we lost four, we could've lost more, so don't blame yourself." Xander comforted Flourance, understanding how bad it feels to lose men in a mission you lead. 

After conveying his commands, he disconnected the call.

"We are going back to the base. Tell the pilot," he told his men without looking back.

The men did as he said and told the pilot about the new instructions that were to be followed now.

The helicopter changed direction and started moving towards the APF base.
