1065 Chapter 1066: Men don't cry
Even he wasn't completely fine,his body was covered in multiple wounds. He was quite surprised that even in his weakened condition, the Ancient Clan Leader had managed to last so long while killing so many Clan Leaders.
He could only dread what would've happened if he wasn't weak or had his inheritance. Fortunately, that wasn't the case for him.
"I told my son that I will protect him. Even if it's my last breath, I won't let you get past me!" Lucifer's father exclaimed, raising his sword, blood dripping down the blade.
In a moment of desperation, Lucifer's father mustered all his remaining strength and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. It rippled through the battlefield, devastating everything in its path. Many enemy leaders were caught off guard, momentarily stunned by the sheer force of the attack.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Lucifer's father fought his way towards the enemy leaders.
He swung his sword with precision and incredible force, striking them down one by one. With each enemy leader that fell, the tides of the battle began to turn.
The old man with the Lightning Armor had just told him to accept his death. However, seeing Lucifer's father right before him in an instant, he was stunned. He cast a powerful lightning barrier while flying back. However, that lightning barrier was destroyed like frail grass.
A sword flashed before his eyes, and before the old man could even react, he saw blood flying everywhere, his body cut in two halves. Even as he died, his eyes remained open in disbelief.
As the enemy leader with the Lightning Armor fell, a hush fell over the battlefield. The remaining enemy leaders stood frozen in shock, wondering if this was really the weakened Ancient Clan Leader.
However, they had come too far to fall back now. They prepared to continue the battle.
Unfortunately, in the next moment Lucifer's father collapsed to his knees, his body battered and broken. He had given everything in his last attack. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to move a single finger.
Lucifer's father looked towards the Palace in the distance. "Little Brat, it looks like this is as far as your father can go. I hope you've always escaped..."
Even at this moment, he didn't regret his decision to give his inheritance to his son. His love for his child overwhelmed his duties as a leader.
While on his knees, he looked at the other members of his clan. Most of them had died, their bodies covering the battlefield, the signs of destruction pointing to how hard they fought.
"I have failed you. If that's ever a next life, I hope I can protect and support you better," he whispered to himself, a tear of blood streaming down his face.
With a heavy heart, he made peace with the fact that he might not survive this battle.
"Hahaha, so that was just his last ditch effort. He truly scared me for a moment there!" One of the Enemy Leaders sighed in relief, slightly calmer now.
"Old man, you really troubled us. Even in your weakest state, you killed half of us. But this is as far as you can go. The ones who died can only blame themselves for being weak and useless!"
One of the Hidden Clan Leaders smirked as he stepped towards Lucifer's father who couldn't even move. However, just to be sure that he couldn't move, the old man used his abilities.
Hundreds of dark shackles came out of the ground, wrapping itself all around the violet-eyed man's body, restricting him like a prisoner.
"With this, the tyranny of the Ancient Clan ends!"
Standing next to Lucifer's father, the red haired man raised his sword. At that moment, it was as if the entire battlefield had come to a halt.
The Ancient Clan Members had their hearts frozen as they saw the sight. They tried to go there to save their Leader, only to be stopped by huge rows of enemies in between.
The sword came crashing down. At that moment, many Ancient Clan Members closed their eyes, clenching their fists.
There was absolute silence as a sword sliced through a throat, making a head fly high.
After a few seconds, the remaining Members of the Ancient Clan opened their eyes, years streaming down their cheeks. However, as they saw in the distance, their expressions froze.
Even the enemies weren't celebrating. Instead, they appeared frozen in place.
Although a head flew high, that head didn't seem to belong to the Ancient Clan Leader. It was the head of the person who had attacked the Ancient Clan Leader. Soon after, his body lost balance and fell to the ground at the same time as the head.
The Enemy Leaders were also stunned, their expressions filled with disbelief. They had never anticipated such a turn of events, where their own comrade would be defeated so swiftly.
They didn't even see how it happened, but in that moment, another person was standing in between them and the Ancient Clan Leader, they were only able to see his back.
Lucifer's father still had his eyes closed, the tear of blood rolling down his cheek.
However, he soon opened his eyes after feeling a cold hand on his cheeks, wiping the trail of the tear.
"Don't you know that men don't cry? How will you protect everyone if you're crying?" the unknown man spoke to the Ancient Clan Leader, shocking him.
These were the words he had spoken to his son. However, the face before him was unfamiliar. Still, he could feel some similarities. He could also feel a strangely familiar aura inside Lucifer's body.
Unlike his wife, he was instantly able to recognise who this person was, thanks to the existence of the inheritance inside him.
"You are... how?" he asked, his expressions of disbelief evident on his face.
"I'm your son. Nothing is impossible for me," Lucifer said, a beautiful smile spreading across his lips. He was so glad that he wasn't late.
