After the day that Lucifer saw that monster at such a close distance, the following days went by very normally and simply. But it was only normal for those superheroes.
As for Lucifer, he still had to do all sorts of work for those superheroes. He had to go find food, scout around, clean, do all the things that a servant should do.
But Lucifer still tried to endure because he knew that the end of these superheroes was approaching. When that time came, he would use them to kill that monster.
Thanks to Lucifer's attentive care, those superheroes had recovered about 80% of their strength.
It was probably enough for Lucifer to work out his plan.
Moreover, Lucifer also returned to the place where he killed the three-headed dog monster because he realized that he had not taken the monster core that fell from that monster.
Monster cores were very valuable because they could be used to make things and they could even be used as a source of energy, and they functioned better than other sources of energy.
That's why guilds were created. The purpose of those guilds, besides helping people who had awakened the system to confront trials so that they could have a higher chance of survival, was to collect as many monster cores as possible to sell for money.
A monster core could give Lucifer a full meal, and he had forgotten to take it after killing the monster.
Lucifer had to admit that he was an idiot. But luckily, the monster core was still there, and no one had taken it.

Today was that fateful day. Today would decide Lucifer's fate. Would he live or die? Lucifer had to go through today to know the result.
Today, only one side would survive. It could be Lucifer, or it could be the 4 superheroes, or that Crab Gorilla monster.
But Lucifer was quite confident that he would survive.
Today started out the same as usual. Lucifer woke up because the pink superhero woke him up. The reason was because they were hungry and they wanted him to prepare food immediately.
Even though they still had both arms and legs, they still wanted to force Lucifer to work. It seemed that for them, the black superhero would always be a slave no matter what happened.
Even though he was forced, Lucifer was very happy, he was completely different from usual. Maybe it was because today was his last day here?
Lucifer hummed a cheerful tune while preparing 4 cup noodles for the 4 superheroes.
Seeing Lucifer's cheerful expression, all 4 superheroes looked at him with puzzled eyes. It was as if they were looking at a psychopath who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
Of course, Lucifer realized that he was being noticed, but he didn't pay any attention to them anymore:
'Just look at me, you trash. Today is the last day you can see this handsome face.'
"Hey you idiot, why are you smiling so happily today?" The blue superhero asked, he still used a contemptuous tone when talking to Lucifer.
"That's right, Black, did something good happen to you?" The red superhero also chimed in.
"Oh, nothing, I just feel happier than usual today." Lucifer gave a forced smile to answer the other two.
He gently placed 4 cups of noodles in front of the 4 of them and gently get out of the room. Lucifer had never eaten with the 4 superheroes before, if he wanted to eat, he would have to go outside and eat alone.

After the door was closed, the four superheroes immediately finished their portions in less than a minute. After that, they put on a satisfied expression, rested for a while, and then started their serious conversation.
"Alright everyone, as I said before, today is the day we will carry out the plan." Red spoke first.
"According to your plan, we will sacrifice Black, let him become bait for the monster, and we will kill the monster while it is killing Black, right?" Yellow asked back.
Red nodded nonchalantly. It was as if he did not care about Lucifer's life or death.
"Today is the day Black dies? What a pity, he was a good servant…" Pink said in a disappointed voice.
"What do you mean? We can hire a new slave who is better than Black. Moreover, I don't want to look at Black's face anymore. It always annoys me when I look at him." Blue said firmly.
"Is that because you think you are uglier than him?" Pink mocked Blue.
Then, all four of them burst out laughing at Lucifer's predetermined death.
But soon after, all four of the superheroes began to feel extremely exhausted, as if their bodies had no strength left. They couldn't even stand up properly anymore.
All four of the superheroes fell asleep right after that.
A moment after all four of the superheroes fell asleep, the door to the room opened.
Lucifer gently entered the room with a smile on his face.
***
After transporting the four sleeping superheroes out of the room to the vast soccer field. Lucifer quickly left the stadium.
In the past few days, Lucifer had gone to many convenience stores and gas stations to take gasoline and flammable materials and poured them all around the entire soccer field while the superheroes were just staying in the room doing nothing.
They kept saying that they would sacrifice Lucifer to carry out their plans, but all they did was sit there and wait for the right moment, not even trying to do anything. And that was their mistake.
There was nothing more foolish than a master not controlling what the slave was doing.
No one wanted to be a slave, everyone wanted to have freedom and they all deserved it. Therefore, a slave would take every chance they had to reach their freedom.
After all, a slave who dreamed of freedom was way more dangerous than a master who feared rebellion.
Lucifer quickly walked away from the spot where he had poured the gasoline, struck a match and threw it onto the gasoline.
Just as Lucifer had predicted, the entire soccer field immediately burst into flames. Sparks of light danced across the grass, thick smoke billowed up, spreading throughout the dark sky.
The fire grew bigger and bigger by time, but Lucifer had already run out of the stadium.
'Where is the monster?'
In the distance, the Crab Gorilla monster seemed to have noticed the black smoke rising from the stadium.
The monster began to stand up and slowly move towards the stadium just as Lucifer had predicted.
Lucifer quickly sat on his bike and started moving away from the stadium.
***
A while later, the four tired superheroes woke up from a short nap. Even though they had been given a lot of sleeping pills, it turned out that it didn't have much effect on them.
The four superheroes looked around, realizing that they were surrounded by a large, hot flame.
But that was no threat to them, the superhero did not pay any attention to the fire but focused on the monster that was really close to them.
In the thick smoke, the monster's red eyes were like two burning flames, shining with a petrifying look.
