PROBLEM!

He sent his senses into his mindscape to see if he could find the source of what is happening to him there, and when he was inside he saw the same library as before but at the centre of it, there was a small sapling that was sprouting from the ground. He also saw multiple cracks that were appearing on the ground where the roots were more than likely growing. It looked like he was staring at a cobweb with all the massive and faint cracks on the ground.

This sight shocked him so much he just stood there for a couple of minutes trying to compose himself, yet he still failed considering that Lucifer has never seen nor heard of anything like this happening in all his lives combined.

'This, what is this? What is this... sapling, doing here inside my mindscape. At least I figured out what caused my change and yet I still don't know what it means for me?'

As he was in his thoughts a noise brought him out of it. He looked around for a few seconds yet he failed to see anything or anyone.

'What was that noise? I know I heard something, I will not be like those people that just write it of as the wind and end up dying or almost killed because of it. I know I heard something. but from where?'

He continued to survey around him for a few moments before it was once again interrupted by an even more spine chilling noise that echoed throughout his mindscape.

*HAAAAA*

Even Lucifer had goosebumps that appeared on his entire body as the noise sounded like it was right inside his ear.

"I... &#&^@!*!>> SEE... &!&!(#&*$ YOU."

This time he heard a faint murmur but with his enhanced senses, he easily heard it, though this time it was a voice and not a sound.

He glanced at his surroundings anxiously once more however he still didn't see anything, therefore, he looked towards the sapling, even if he doesn't want to believe it, he has to since it was the only foreign item inside his mindscape.

Lucifer prepared to take action as he entered a fighting stance before he said towards the sapling, "Show yourself."

There was just a long silence that fell upon the whole area, a silence so eery even Lucifer's previous self would have felt a little bit intimidated not to mention the now only Qi Warrior realm Lucifer. Suddenly pressure descended upon his body and the pressure was so much that he began sweating profusely, his body began shivering, knees felt like buckling and his head was lowered furthermore no matter how hard he struggled he couldn't lift his head.

With the silence and the pressure, the entire area began to gradually descend into darkness.

Pitch black.

It was so dark Lucifer couldn't even see a single centimetre in front of him, he felt like he was blind, yet before he could even think about what was going on, a scratchy though ancient voice filled with malice, spoke from the pitch-black void that sounded like it was all around him. It was near than far, left then right, the voice was like it was everywhere at the same time nowhere.

"My... my... look at what we have here. A new treat for me to feast upon, hehe. It looks like the plan has worked as intended, they even found someone so rare for me. Hehe! How... splendid."

Lucifer was at a complete loss about what's happening and what the entity meant by saying 'plan', 'rare' and so forth. No matter how much he wanted to continue pondering over it he couldn't as he felt a bitingly cold wind coming from behind him.

"(Breathes out into Lucifer's ear) What a splendid vessel they got for me, hehe. Don't worry boy I will be sure to make your name and reputation soar higher than it ever could have been considering that I will be in control of your body, you even 'gave' your body to me. Hehe!"

Lucifer was panicking thus he began struggling to try and get himself free from this pressure he felt, but no matter what he did he just couldn't get away from it. He didn't want to die just yet, he truly felt that this life would be his best yet, and the fact that he reunited with his master -who was and still, is like a father to him-, Samantha - who was like a mother to him- and Bruno - the caring uncle.

He was finally reunited with his family and he even gained two new sisters and a potential soul mate. Just thinking of all those things he kept struggling in hopes of the 0.01% chance he can get away.

The entity behind him snickered at his futile attempts of escaping yet he just walked towards Lucifer without trying to stop him before he just simply disappeared into him like a spectre.

*Woosh*

Lucifer was thrown out of his mindscape and couldn't access it anymore, yet he could feel his soul weakening which was followed by excruciating pain though he just gritted his teeth since he didn't want to alarm the others and make them worried. Furthermore, it isn't like they can do anything even if they knew that he was suffering from this pain, not even Peter could help him, he knew since Lucifer knew from all of his years of cultivating that this entity was WAY stronger than they ever thought was possible.

'This thing is eating my soul... I can feel it slowly disappearing, what can I do?.'

Although he tried desperately to not shout or make noise he eventually couldn't take it anymore and let out a bone-chilling howl that reverberated throughout the mansion.

"AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

...

Inside Peter and Samantha's bedroom, the two were cuddling together as they looked through photos of their daughters and reminisced about Lucifer, their life in the immortal world and what they went through to get where they were. Peter and Samantha talked and laughed, but... a horrible cry filled with agonising pain brought them out of their fairyland as they both got chills from their heads to their little toes.

It took them a few seconds to register what happened and what they heard, yet they immediately jumped up and disappeared towards Lucifer's room.

...

In Bruno's room, he was peacefully reading through some books to pass his time, but his actions were also interrupted by the agonising howl of Lucifer and like Peter and Samantha he also jumped up, threw his book towards the floor, before he also disappeared from his room.

...

Inside Rose's room, she was browsing through social media on her cellphone and was about to read some web novels to calm her turmoiling emotions, yet it was interrupted as well and like everyone else she also had all the hairs on her body standing upright which made her already disrupted emotions even worse, yet she knew that it was Lucifer's voice and rushed out of her room towards him.

...

Inside Elizabeth's room, she was lying on her bed looking at the ceiling as she was thinking about the past couple of days, what happened, what she found out and her budding emotions for Lucifer which made her blush a little, making her 'curse' Lucifer a million times for 'doing' this to her.

Yet her happy emotions were disrupted by the horrifying howl of pain and agony that came from the room across from hers.

She immediately sat upright, bolted towards the door to get to Lucifer and figure out what happened and try to help him. All she could think about over and over again was, 'please be alright, Lucifer.'

She opened the door but saw that the rest of her family were already standing there with grim expressions while looking at Lucifer's door. This confused Elizabeth as she didn't understand why they were just standing there, but when she looked towards the door she felt an immense evil presence from the inside.

Peter and the rest also looked at Elizabeth when she exited her room but didn't say anything to her as they continued to stare at the door to try and figure out who or what it was that was inside.

A minute passed before the screaming finally stopped and the evil presence to disappear.

Peter glanced at the others as they stared at him, he nodded towards them and they responded in turn, as he put his hand on the doorknob and turned it.
