Chapter 15 – Preparations for a Kill
Author`s Clarifications – Some of you questioned why he needed cryokinesis when he had elemental Annex which could change the attribute of the flames. Answer, getting an ability directly related to the element increases the power and ease of manipulation. Another thing, I dislike putting tables because, it sometimes destroys the flow. However, I will put some now and then. So please forgive me. Also I suck at making tables, so that is another point why I hate them.
School Arc coming soon after a few chapters!

Looking at the oak wood, mansion door a sly grin formed on his face. The events that would transpire from now onwards, caused he to tremble inn excitement. He couldn`t kill his mother because he didn`t have the ability to do so for now, but he would destroy all those she loved especially Douglas Sez Belmont and his Step Brother, step by step.
“Wait and watch, mother, I will brew up a storm unlike you have ever seen before”, he snickered
Lightly knocking on the door, he waited for several seconds before a servant unlocked it. As the female servant peered at him, she was slack jawed, before she gave off a high pitched scream. Clamping his ears shut, he waited for the dizzy feeling to subside as his enhanced senses were troublesome at times. Within a few moments, a group of servants scampered towards their position snuff also came along. Seeing his master, he dashed and pounced on Lucifer, covering his face with slobber by licking it.
After Lucifer had entered the Forest their mental link was cut off due to the irregular mana flow there. Seeing their young master back, smiles crept onto their faces before they led him. Some of the servants gave him a tight hug. They had really missed their young master. The servants leading him by the hand took him towards the dinner hall.
“Young Master, you must be hungry, I will set up a meal quickly”, one of the male servants bickered, before quickly dashing of into the kitchen. A strong delicious scent permeated through the kitchen soon after, within a span of few minutes, the table was filled with different assortment of delicacies, he gracefully started eating them. After completing his meal, he questioned one of the servants.
“How long was I gone?”
“Almost about 49 days, Young master” the servant responded
“So, where is Aunt Hilda and mother?” he asked softly
“Ah, Young master, after you had disappeared, your mother was utterly depressed”
Another servant joined in, "your mother had fallen ill during that period, one day a noble named Douglas sez Belmont came and proposed to her”, the servant spoke a bit flustered.
“Thereafter, they got married and you have a brother now, Young master ‘Richard’, the servant added
“Mistress Hilda and you`re mother have taken young master ‘Richard’ for shopping” the servant he said with disdain
Lucifer sneered silently” What a plan mother! , you are quick, I have to give you that” He mentally applauded her.
“They will soon return young master Avaritia” the servant responded

Getting of the chair, he immediately went to his room. Inside, he tossed his clothes into the laundry basket going to the bathroom. The shower abruptly came to life sprinkling him with water. At that moment, he gave of a soft laugh.
“Mother thank you, you reduced my trouble of finding them "he thought while his eyes contained a murderous glint. After a while, he left his steaming shower. Drying himself, he wore his best clothes to greet his Mother and step-father. Inwardly he was so excited to see their twisted faces.
He wanted to see his progress after a long time, so with a command he opened up the status panel. A screen hovered in front of him all of a sudden.

Looking at it he was satisfied with the progress. However, he needed one more level before he could become an 'Elite'. The skills he had acquired were not up to his expectation. He had to master them, if he wanted to progress any further. With a wave of his hand, he closed the panels.
Heading downstairs he eagerly waited for a couple of hours, before he heard of a carriage halt in front of the mansion. He could hear some mummers, before the mansion door swung open. Aunt Hilda and a man first steeped him. Looking at him he assumed, that was Douglas, following them mother, holding Richard`s hand stepped in. As Aunt Hilda scanned the room, her sight instantly landed on Lucifer. In an instant, warm arms clasped around him. Aunt Hilda`s crying voice, soon reached his ears.
“It`s alright Aunt Hilda, I am fine”. He lightly patted her on the back. As soon his mother and Douglas had seen him, their faces had gone aghast for fright. As if they had seen a ghost, Lucifer could literally hear the sounds of their dreams crashing. He mentally gave of a jolly laugh.
As he glanced at his step-brother Richard, He saw an arrogant looking brat with a frown. At first glance, you could tell this child was a spoiled asshole. His frame was rather broad for his age, but his height was 9 centimeters smaller to Lucifer's. Meeting Lucifer`s gaze Richard gave of a putrid smile, Lucifer could already see thee vicious thoughts that clustered the brats mind.
Mother`s and Douglas aghast expression were for instant, before they reverted back to a cheerful smile. As soon as Aunt Hilda stopped hugging Lucifer, Mother rushed in front of him and gave him a tight hug. Tight hug means a gut wrenching hug, he could hear his bones creaking, his mother`s gaze was truly bloodshot. However, the tightness lowered after bit, and mother showed acting in a dramatic way, any actor seeing this would have said she had given a first class performance.
She acted as if he had been lost for ages, following her Douglas greeted him with a handshake. However, his chilly gaze never left Lucifer, as if he wanted to kill him with a stare. After all the greeting, he was directed to the mansion`s main hall where they questioned him on how he had survived.

He gave the same answers; he had given to the carriage owner, so that there would be not holes in his alibi. If they questioned the passengers who rode the carriage, sometimes when he answered mother had a pondering look, as if analyzing the liability of his answers. As soon as he told about the hooded figure, mother`s gaze became vicious, looking as if she would slaughter him, the moment he entered the mansion.
After the concluded interrogation, he ordered snuff to follow his mother and newly appointed mother, before heading back to his room. At mid-night he silently snuck of to the center of the forest where he previously had been too. There seating himself in meditative position, a thick gaseous layer of mana surrounded him. Seeping slowly into his pores in started to immediately destroy his internal organs and veins, this time the process was more, difficult as his internals had been strengthened and the intensity of pain was slightly higher for him. If a normal person had done it, they would have just exploded from the overload of mana and at doing at age of five was even more frightening.
If a peak stage expert had seen him, they would be completely dumbstruck, as they have been barely two people who have been successful in repeating the body alteration process twice. The process can be done only five times, even for the most gifted individuals, as the requirement increased more the pain and the mana required becomes absurd.
The duration taken for this process had also become lengthier, and it took Lucifer about 8 hours before it was complete. His senses had reached a whole new tier, if before he could see things in slow motion now it was at least two times slower. His veins could now hold a mana flow thrice the size of a small river. However, the greatest achievement was that his mana was now liquefied and it`s purity was four times greater than its previous quality, such quality could only be found in the above realms.
As he dashed of back to the mansion, he could feel the improved responsiveness and flexibility of his muscles. He was filled with ecstasy as be breezed through the air. He could now even perceive even the softest sounds with utmost clarity, along the way he devoured a few beasts to slow the progression of the corruption that was tainting his soul.
It took him a few steps before he reached in front of the mansion and jumped up to his window sill that was on the second floor. Taking an early morning bath, he once again headed back to check if there were any changes in his feature. The first thing he noticed, was that the silver hue in his eyes was becoming more dominant, and his almost perfect jaw line had become more defined beside that there was not much of a change.
Only that he had gained one inch to his 6 feet height.
Opening the status panel again, he observed it, scanning for any change in his stats. He had gained two more levels and entered the first stage to become an 'Elite', he needed 44 more levels if wanted to become a transient which was at the level 75.
Wearing his clothes he headed downstairs, along the way a servant said that Aunt Hilda, Douglas and other had left for an important meeting.
Walking towards the breakfast table, he seated himself. Looking around he noticed that Cynthia and Angela were present beforehand. They were slowly chowing on their food; they gave him a glance before blushing at turning their focus quickly back at their food.
After a while, Richard had arrived at the table, led by a maid. His vulgar eyes darted the across the woman's body as if he was licking it entirely.
“What a pig", Lucifer thought. As he arrived at the table, the maid with disgust painted on her face, went off into to doing her tasks.
As he gaze landed on Cynthia and Angela, a trickle of drool leaked out from the corners of his mouth. His lust filled eyes slowly scanning their bodies. The doll like faces would entice many men, however, this greedy pig openly disclosed his vulgar feeling in front, and of course any woman would feel uncomfortable. Cynthia and Angela unable to bear his gaze left the table, leaving their unfinished meal.
“Lucifer, mentally named Richard a Pig permanently”
As soon as they left, Richard changed his gaze towards Lucifer before uttering
“Hey, Girly Boy, pass the gravy will you?”
Lucifer at that moment felt like gutting him, however, he couldn`t draw attention to himself. So he reluctantly passed the gravy. After, finishing the meal, Richard verbally started bullying Lucifer, though; Lucifer suppressed his urges to kill. Getting bored of the unresponsive Lucifer, Richard went off to harass the maids.
Lucifer coldly starting at his back silently muttered “Pig just you wait, I will kill you in the most painful manner possible”
Lucifer had found out that Douglas and mother really adored Richard, so he planned to give them a show in front of their very own eyes.
However, right now was not the time a few days of preparation were needed, slowly abiding his time. Before the day that signified the demise of
Richard. Lucifer spend his late mid-nights in the forest practicing his blood manipulation on the forest beasts and entered his room at the break of dawn so no one would notice him practicing. He also improved in suppressing his aura.
Though he always didn`t train, he sometimes spend his time in the library, increasing his knowledge of the world. However, during an unexpected incidence he came across the perfect book that would aid him with his goal to kill of that pig.
A blood curling laugh followed, before he whispered,” Now, time for my pay back Bitch, I am going to strip you of everything you love”

Whatever End
The fight is over, the enemy destroyed, the world is saved… technically. “Stand Fast!” The general called over the din of battle. “We will hold this line! The future depends on us! To whatever end!” Richard believed him, and that’s why he had bound his soul to the Arcstone, in hopes of containing the rift forever. If only he had learned more before making that final sacrafice. When the battle is done, and the world is ‘saved’ what happens to those left behind? And.. what should he do, now that it’s over? Cover art by gej302
