Although the monster was defeated, the red superhero could not happily enjoy his victory. In this battle, the red superhero could do nothing but stand still and witness his teammates die one by one.
He knelt down on the soccer field and pounded the ground continuously. The red superhero shouted loudly, crying and screaming at the same time. The ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the empty stadium.
He hated his own uselessness.
It was because he was useless that his teammates died. It was all his fault.
Fortunately, there was no one in the stadium, so he could cry as long as and as loud as he wanted.
"Why did they have to die?! What crime did they commit for them to die like that?!" He shouted loudly.
His scream startled a few pigeons in the stands, causing them to quickly fly away.
The red superhero continued to bang his head on the grass and blamed himself. This was the only thing he could do at the moment.
The red superhero could not revive the dead or turn back time to save his friends. He had to accept the cruel truth that his teammates could no longer come back, they were all dead.
"Someone please kill me, someone please kill me, someone please kill me, …" He screamed in despair while muttering that someone please killed him.
"Then let me fulfill your wish?" Lucifer's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
The red superhero immediately stopped sobbing and turned towards the voice. His eyes were fixed on a skinny boy with white hair.
He immediately remembered who had led him to this damn situation. It was Lucifer - the black superhero who killed the teammates he cherished.
The sorrowful expression on the red superhero's face disappeared, replaced by a mad expression, ready to kill the person in front of him in the most horrible way.
He stood up unsteadily and summoned his red sword.
A sword with a blood-red blade immediately appeared in the red superhero's hand. Then, he staggered towards Lucifer. As he walked, he muttered:
"Because of you… It's all because of you… Those people died… This is completely your fault… I will definitely kill you and avenge them…"
At the same time, Lucifer also took out his shotgun and slowly walked towards the red superhero.
Both of them were walking towards each other. The distance between them was gradually shortening. One was feeling extremely angry while the other was very calm.
Immediately after, the red superman raised his sword and rushed towards Lucifer. Nevertheless, because of the battle just now, the red superman had used up a lot of energy. That was why his speed was not really fast and his steps were also very unsteady.
Lucifer stopped and pointed the gun at him. Before pulling the trigger, he said:
"If you want to see your comrades so much, I will help you."
After saying that, Lucifer immediately pulled the trigger without feeling sorry for the red superman or feeling guilty. His face showed a cold and decisive expression.
The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the stadium. Following that, dozens of yellow bullets were fired. Their target was only one, which was the red superhero that was rushing towards Lucifer.
The bullets flew through the air at a terrifying speed towards the red superhero. Despite his shrill screams, bullets continued to pierce his body.
Less than a second later, all the bullets had completed their mission. Now, the red superhero's body was no different from a beehive. Blood was flowing through the holes in his body.
The handsome and elegant face of the superhero was still intact. But his eyes were now dull, the light extinguished as if the fire had burned out.
A gentle wind blew by, causing the red superhero's body to fall onto the green grass.
Lucifer walked over the superhero's body without looking back. He had finished off the superheroes, now his next target was to kill the Crab Gorilla that was leaning against the stands.
'I told you I would survive.'
***
The monster's lower body was lying on the soccer field, while its upper body was leaning against the stands.
Lucifer had a hard time climbing up the monster's massive body. But thanks to its long fur, it was much easier for Lucifer to climb.
Lucifer didn't know what the two superheroes who had just sacrificed themselves had done to kill the monster, but he could guess that they had self-destructed by exploding inside the monster's stomach since its stomach was having a fairly large hole.
However, Lucifer didn't care much about this because what he needed to do now was finish off the monster.
Lucifer decided to shoot it in the head because that would be more secure than shooting at the heart. Or maybe they were all the same.
He carefully stepped on the monster's face to avoid falling and having to climb up again.
He aimed the gun barrel at the monster's head as accurately as possible because this was his last shot. However, it seemed that this was not really necessary.
Lucifer took a deep breath before pulling the trigger to avoid being startled like last time. Immediately after, Lucifer pulled the trigger decisively, without mercy.
Like last time, the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the entire stadium. Dozens of bullets followed one after another from the gun barrel. They shot towards the monster's brain at the speed of light.
The bullets pierced through the monster's forehead, a bunch of blood spurted from those holes, making his black superhero costume covered in the smell of blood and extremely sticky.
But it was all a success. Lucifer had defeated the monster and the superheroes.
He raised his head to look at the sky, hoping to see a scene where millions of stars were shining brightly against the mysterious black sky. But the sky was still the same, still covered by blood-red clouds.
Disappointed, Lucifer raised his right hand to wipe the blood that was stuck on his face.
'Now I can finally go home.' Lucifer thought.
1 minute passed, 2 minutes passed, 3 minutes passed. 4 minutes passed but Lucifer was still in the Trial. He was still standing on the monster's corpse and looking forward to returning to his world.
But no matter how long Lucifer waited, he was still sitting on the monster's corpse and had not returned yet.
Lucifer closed his eyes and opened them a few times, but what entered his eyes was not the image of a shabby, old room but a burning and quite destroyed stadium.
'What happened? Why haven't I been able to return yet?'
Suddenly, a system notification appeared next to Lucifer. Thinking that it was a notification congratulating him on completing the Trial, Lucifer excitedly read the notification carefully.
[You have defeated Beast's phase 1. Now, Beast is moving to phase 2.]
"Huh?" That was all Lucifer could say after reading the notification over and over again more than a dozen times.
Lucifer could feel the monster's breath returning.
