Chapter 915: Weakness

Chapter 916: Weakness

The name Gabriel was too familiar. Lucifer felt as if he had heard that name quite a lot of times, but his memory failed him. He was sure he didn’t hear that as a name of a random person on Earth.

“What are you thinking?” Gabriel asked, noticing Lucifer lost in deep thoughts.

“Nothing. I just thought that your name sounded familiar, but maybe I’m just imagining things.” Lucifer dropped the matter altogether and decided not to think too much about it.

It didn’t matter if he had heard that name before or not. All that mattered was that Gabriel had agreed to side with him. One problem had been solved, and he had gained an ally. Now, all that was left was to understand his strengths and weaknesses, so better planning could be done.

“When you came out of the Temple, you destroyed my shadows along the way without even getting close to them. How did you do it?” he asked. “What other abilities do you have other than your Immorality? And strength apparently.”

“Your shadows?” Gabriel asked, seemingly confused. “I’m not sure about any shadows. I don’t understand the question.”

Lucifer called forth a shadow right before Gabriel. “This is my shadow. It was keeping an eye outside the Temple to alert me in case someone got close to the Temple.”

“They were destroyed when you came out.”

“Oh, these things, yeah, I destroyed them because I could feel them observing me. I have good sense when it comes to these things.”

“That’s what I’m asking. How did you destroy them without getting close?”

“By isolating these things. It was evident that these things don’t have a life of their own. They were linked with someone else. I just isolated the entire area around me as I ran,” Gabriel explained.

“Without those connections, these things couldn’t exist on their own. It’s the same for everything else either. Life can’t exist on its own. Your body needs a soul to make a life, but if I isolate your soul, making it feel as if the soul is gone, you are going to die. It’s the same principle.”

“You can do that?” Lucifer asked, stunned.

If this man could remove the soul from the bodies, wasn’t he too frightening? And that too without getting close to them? Didn’t that mean he could literally kill anyone without any trouble?

“I was just giving an example. I can’t do it. It was a form of expression to explain the principles behind what I did. Even I can’t isolate souls,” the young man clarified.

“You can’t do it because it’s impossible, or you can’t do it because it needs more training?” Lucifer inquired grimly. Both things were different. The former meant he could never do it, and there was no threat, and the latter meant he just couldn’t do it now, but he could do it in the future, and he was a potential threat.

“I can’t do it for now and possibly never. The amount of control it needs is too high. It’s literally impossible, but then again, if a person like me can be immortal, then anything can be possible. By the way, Why are you asking so many questions?” Gabriel asked in return.

“I just wanted to know more about you since we’ll be working together. If we face troubles, we might need to fight together as well, so it’s good we know the strength and weaknesses of each other,” Lucifer explained.

“I am sorry, but I can’t tell you everything. I can only tell you what I already did. Anything more, I can’t. Especially my weakness.” Gabriel refused to tell Lucifer everything. “The person who gave me this ability told me to not tell others all my secrets, even if they are my closest family members.”

“He told me that one must keep a few secrets even from their own souls so they can be used in case of emergencies.”

Lucifer didn’t force Gabriel to answer as he backtracked. “I was just curious. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

He stood up and tapped the shoulder of the young man.

“Anyway, as I was telling you before, the Trials will begin tomorrow so you should find a place where you can hide without being seen. In the meantime, I’ll try to win the Trials. For the next few weeks, I might not be able to meet you.”

“Let’s get to finding a safe place for you where I can find you after the Trials are over.”

Gabriel also stood up and stretched his arms. “You don’t need to look for a place. I already have a place where I’ll stay.”

“Follow me,” he informed Gabriel before he started flying.

Lucifer followed after the young man, keeping an eye on his surroundings to make sure they weren’t seen.

After flying for half an hour, the young man brought Lucifer to the frozen mountain.

“This is where you’ll hide?” Lucifer asked, landing on the frozen mountain.

“This is my home even though it looks nothing like it used to do. There should be an entrance right here under the thick layer of snow.” The young man pointed at the general area. “Let me remove the snow. If my home hadn’t been ravaged by those bastards, it would still be there.”

Gabriel used his hands to dig the snow.

Noticing how long it was going to take like this, Lucifer stepped forward to help. “Let me take care of it.”

He spread both his arms.

Entire layers of ice started rising in the air as wind blades kept digging the snow and moving the snow aside.

Lucifer kept moving the snow from one place to another as he dug deep in the freezing mountain. It was only after digging for ten meters straight that he finally noticed the solid ground under all the snow. There was a wooden door in the mountains.

“There it is.” Gabriel jumped down the hole and landed near the door. He pulled the door open before jumping inside the house of his.

Lucifer also jumped inside, landing in the house of Gabriel. Contrary to the surface, the room was very warm on the inside.

Despite centuries being passed, the room still looked so clean.

Lucifer observed the room, noticing there was nothing much here. It was a basic room that only had a bed and a few portraits that were hand-drawn.

Gabriel picked up one of the portraits.

“Is this the person that gave you Immortality?”

The portrait depicted a young man with the lower half of his face covered. The man had a really slender build and quite long hair.
