Lucifer started floating upwards. 

"Huh?"

Amelia grew stunned as even her feet started rising in the air. "What's happening? Are you doing it?"

"Don't worry, you'll get habitual to it," Salazar reminded Amelia. After flying like this for so long, it was pretty ordinary for him. 

"So you're doing it?" Amelia asked.

"Me? Don't look at me like that. I'm not capable of it. But I am pretty experienced in it. It's quite safe." 

Lucifer flew straight to the window that he had unlocked in the morning. Fortunately, the room wasn't being used anymore, so no one realized that the window was open in the morning. 

Lucifer pushed the window open and landed inside. Salazar and Amelia followed suit. 

He looked at Amelia before softly asking, "Do you have any idea where the Thunder Clan Patriarch would be? Something related to his room? The direction or anything?" 

"It's my first time here. And I have no idea. But I believe he'll be on the highest floor since he's the leader and might want to stay at the highest place."

"The Highest Floor." Lucifer rubbed his chin. 

"Salazar, spread out your domain and show your miracle. Take this whole mansion in your domain."

"You'll become slow as well if I do that?"

"I won't. I have energy negation. I can be free of your domain as well. So I'm safe if I want. So you don't have to give yourself a handicap for me anymore."

"Wait. You have energy negation? If I'm not wrong, it's the ability of that Noble? How do you have it?" Salazar asked, surprised. 

He had seen Lucifer steal powers after taking them in control, but he was sure Lucifer hadn't done any such thing to that lady. So how did he have her power?

"Are you just realizing I have that? I mean, I used that against Zhu as well. Why else would his Spatial Manipulation not work?" Lucifer smiled. "Anyway, we can talk later. First, get to work."

Salazar nodded, still curious. How was Lucifer able to take her power without using his parasite? Just what kind of growth was he experiencing?

He casually waved his finger, casting his time domain over the entire palace before he walked towards the door. 

"Huh?" Amelia watched Salazar walk so fast that before she could even blink, he was already at the door. 

Lucifer also cast his energy negation in his immediate surroundings. "Time has slowed down. Everything will be moving extremely slowly, including you beasts. So don't get surprised. Just stay behind me, and you'll be out of the effects because of my negation."

He also walked to the door. 

"I'm opening." Salazar reminded Lucifer. 

"Wait," Lucifer called out. "Let me walk ahead. You just maintain your domain. Your domain will slow them while my speed will slice them."

Salazar stepped back, letting Lucifer lead. 

Lucifer twisted the doorknob, pulling the door open. 

Leaving the room, Lucifer stepped into the hallways, which were slightly different from what he saw at Snow Clan. There weren't rooms on both sides of the hallways; instead, there was a massive glass floor in the center, which had a clear view of the lower floor, which had the same glass floor in the same position. 

The rooms were around the glass floor in a circle, making this hallway look slightly odd. 

The spiraling stairs were also going down from the middle of the glass floor. 

"The security of this place really sucks. No guards at the entrance and none inside either," Lucifer muttered, sighing. "At this point, they're just running on a trust system."

He observed all the rooms on the floor, most of which gave a clear view to him. 

"Check the rooms from the left. I'll check from the right. Call for me as soon as you find him." He signaled Salazar pointing towards the left. 

"What about me?" Amelia asked. 

"You stand back. You'll be affected by the time domain. You won't be any fast compared to them," Lucifer responded before walking away. 

"You...." Amelia folded her arms, realizing that they were underestimating them. But she was fine. As long as she wasn't needed, she didn't care. 

Lucifer walked to the first door on the right and pushed it open before peeking in. 

He closed the door, shaking his head. The room was empty. 

Since there were only seven thunder Lions, it was already evident that most of the rooms were going to be empty. 

He quickly flew to the second room. 

Amelia was already out of the energy negation field. Every movement was too fast for her, but she was still able to keep an eye on the two of them. 

Salazar also checked the first room, finding it empty. 

He walked to the second room with silent footsteps. 

He checked the second room. This time he actually found someone. A man was sleeping in his room peacefully. He closed the door silently. It wasn't the leader that they were looking for. 

Lucifer was already on his fifth door by now. 

He opened the door, finding a man as well. The man he found wasn't sleeping though. 

The light of the room was on, and the man was sitting, meditating. 

Since he was alert, even the slightest sound of the door opening alerted him. 

"Who is it?" he asked calmly, but he soon got the answer as he saw the face of the person on the other side of the door. 

"It's y-" he opened his lips, exclaiming in shock as he recognized Lucifer. 

In the meantime, Lucifer flew straight to the man who was about to yell. If he yelled, everyone was going to be alert. 

The man also started transforming. 

Slash~

The hands of the man had turned to claws while his face became longer. His body changed. He was almost finished with the transformation as well when the silver Sword came swinging at a lightning-fast speed. 

Lucifer's speed was already fast enough, but it was even faster because of the Domain of Salazar. At least for the man, it appeared like Lucifer had Teleported. 

"-ou." The man's head dropped to the ground as he weakly finished his word. 

Lucifer departed from the room, leaving the body behind, without even trying to use his parasite or using his decay to absorb the body. He wanted to haste in finding the patriarch of the clan. 

As he left the room, he looked back to Amelia, who was still standing where she was previously. As for Salazar, he was gesturing to Lucifer about something while pointing towards a room. 

Lucifer flew straight to Salazar. "Is he inside?"

"Yes."
