Like a Ghost

Lucifer looked him dead in the eyes and said " your speaking about this like you've given me such a hard decision when its not the answer is still no I have no need for a teacher I'm sorry that your pride won't let you accept that I really don't want this great opportunity but please understand that I would like to cultivate and do everything I can with my own work if I can no longer progress then perhaps, but I can progress by myself so I will". The elders and sect leader almost bursted out laughing because of the elders embarrassment but the sect leader saved the situation by saying " Lucifer while you could have been more respectful and worded your statement better I thing we all understand what you are saying we also wanted to progress by our own hard work but we were eventually unable to. Even so I and all the elders respect your decision you may sit" the sect leader paused and waited for lucifer to sit back down next to Berry then she continued.

"Now if anyone would like to teach Skylar raise your hand" The lightning and earth elders raised their hands. Skylar couldn't decide between them so she suggested they both taught her and eventually the elders agreed. The sect leader then closed the event and sent the diciples back to their courtyards with portals but she told Lucifer and Berry to stay. They stayed behind they fist bumped and Berry said "I guess we both got second and first".

"yep I thought they might have been petty and not give us 2nd and 1st because we said we didn't want teachers but I already like these guys even though the space elder got mad I get it I would probably get a little mad too" lucifer whispered to Berry lucifer didn't know the elders could hear him but thankfully they ignored what he said. The elders all stood up from their fancy chairs and the sect leader said " Berry congratulations you are in second place your reward is a choice between a eraly martial core weapon, armor or you could receive 10 qi meteor stones."

"The qi meteor stones 100%" Berry said exited. "ok here" she waved her hand and 10 blue shinning stones that were prettier then diamonds Berry grabed and put them away and then the elders looked at lucifer. The sect leader smiled and said " Lucifer your rewards are the same as berry's except if you want the qi meteor stones you will get 15 and you may also request something from is and if it is reasonable we will grant it". Lucifer thought about each option carefully but he didn't need weapons or armor yet and he didn't know what qi meteor fragments were but Berry really wanted them so they must have been good.

" I would also like the qi meteor stones"

"Allright then I wish the both of you luck with your cultivation" she waved her hands and lucifer and Berry were both teloported back to their living room. In front of lucifer were 15 qi meteor stones, he put them in his inventory and then sat down on the couch he yawned and then said "Berry what are qi meteor stones?".

"qi meteor stones have pure qi in them the amount and quality differs but even the worst qi meteor stones have enough energy to supply a normal heavenly core realm cultivator for like a month I wanted them because in ..." Berry paused and checked the time he then continued" in one hour my monthly dungeon will refresh and after I clear it out I will try and use the qi meteor stones to try and get to the high divine core realm or even the half step martial core realm cultivator, if you want to go with me I can send you a party invite so that we can go in the dungeon together and then we will both get rewards and it won't take anything away from me because the dungeon will increase in size and power with the size of your party and the rewards you and I get will be sperated but for basic monsters whoever kills it gets it, and for bosses whoever kills it gets the beast soul and depending on what we need from the boss will split it, like if you needed a bosses blood and I needed its scales or fur then we would split it like that so do you want come with me".

"I haven't been a diciple of heaven for very long so I don't know what a dungeon is could you explain it also what's what's party".

"Oh sorry I assumed you knew a dungeon is like a nest but its bigger has a lot more monsters has random chests and loot and has thre or more bosses theirs a lot more to them but once your system unlocks it you can ask it, and a party is similar to party's in video games its just a group and it can be formed at anytime in a party you and I will share soul fragments from monsters we kill and after every fight in a dungeon our systems will split the soul fragments 50/50".

"ok cool then I'll go with you I need to level my system up anyways and that reminds me i still haven't claimed any daily rewards yet". lucifer opened his status window and clicked a botton that said claim daily reward. After a bit of waiting a text box apeared "day one daily reward: 5 energy drinks ". lucifer checked his inventory and saw the energy drinks, he clicked on the energy drinks and system gave him a description.

Energy drink : you feel energized and ready for anything giving you slightly increased eye sight, speed and reaction time for 60 seconds. Lucifer and Berry stayed in the living room and just talked and got to know each other better for the hour. " alright lucifer you ready my dungeon refreshed I'm gonna pick the second highest difficulty, it will make the beasts inside have basic intelligence. The weakest creature inside will be at the early divine core realm and the strongest will be at the mid step martial core realm".

"yep I'm ready let's do this" Lucifer had both bloodlines fully activated and his sword and shield out, Berry invited lucifer to his party. Lucifer accepted the invite and Berry then opened his status window and clicked "Enter monthly dungeon" Lucifer and Berry both closed their eyes as they felt the area around them change. They were both in a dark cathedral, the cathedral was empty except for a extremely beautiful cup filled to the Brim with blood. lucifer quietly jumped up and walked twords the window on his star he looked out of it and saw that they were at the bottom of what seemed to be a castle the sky was a deep purple and outside the ground was covered in bones and blood lucifer heard a screech and saw a rhino get chased by a massive snake. The snake opened its mouth and ate the rhino in one bite, lucifer went back down next to Barry and saw that he was wrapped in the brown armor he then said " lucifer freeze the blood in the cup there's something in it". Lucifer nodded his head and pointed his open palm at the cup he used ice kings punishment and a shard of ice pierced through the cup and froze the liquid inside the cup hit the ground and when the blood was fully frozen he heard " primitive skin crawler killed beast soul not obtained, meat inedible".

"Damn you got really good eyes that thing is tiny" lucifer quietly said to Berry while looking at the skin crawler in the cup it looked like a centipede but it was smaller then lucifers finger nail. "Thanks lets keep going " Berry said he and lucifer then quietly walked out of the cathedral into a giant room with a eight winding paths Berry and lucifer jumped on an old wall that was shorter then the others they looked around and saw 7 creatures with red skin and devil horns standing around a chest protecting it.

"Yo Berry is it just me or dose that chest feel weird"

"no I feel it too the chest is alive its a mimic if we opened it we would be eaten, let's just ignore them and think about what path we should go on" but in the middle of talking Berry couldn't feel lucifer anymore in a single second lucifers breathing, heart beat, arua and movement stopped Berry looked next to him thinking that something happened to lucifer but when he turned lucifer was right their just looking down at the monsters but he felt off lime a diffrent person. Lucifer stood up on the wall and said "wait here" he voice was serious it was like he was back on earth assassinating people again even Berry with his amazing hearing and vision couldn't tell that lucifer was just a couple inches away from him without seeing him.

lucifer stabed his sword in the wall and left it there he then raised up his arm and a huge scythe appeared in his hand it was made of lucifers qi and completely black. Lucifer then leaned foward and with the grace and stealth of a wolf launched himself at the group in a second lucifer was standing on top of the mimic behind the beasts sounding it, even though lucifer had launched himself at them it was silent every moment lucifer made was silent and perfectly timed and planed. Lucifer stood on the mimic and it opened and alerted the beasts they turned around and lucifer swung his scythe in a circle and with extreme precision the scythe cut into all 7 of the beasts throats it wasint enough to kill then but enough to make it so that they couldn't scream and alert anyone. Lucifer heard the mimic open its mouth slightly and jumped up right as the mimic snapped open its mouth lucifer saw the fleshy inside of the chest it had a huge tongue. The qi scythe I lucifers hand was immediately controled to wrap around the chest covering it completely and forcing its mouth closed.

Lucifer then landed and waved his hand, a dark palm made of qi grabed the demons and lucifer looked into their eyes while using tyrants gaze.

" Go down each path".
