On an island far away from the island where survivors were settled Lucifer was currently running faster then what he is normally capable of. He could feel the electricity in air around him moving towards the location directly opposite of where Lucifer was running.
Lucifer didn't have a specific location in mind except for running away from the location where it seemed as if the whole atmosphere of the planet was being sucked. Right now, fear was occupying his mind.
He was not this much afraid even when he was almost being crushed by the waves right after he woke up nor when that strange hammerhead shark was chasing him nor when he saw a meteor right above just meters away from crushing him or in any other kind of situation.
'At most, I would die.' Was what he was thinking in those situations because even if he died it would be quick and after the initial burst pain would be painless. But thinking of what he just saw in that vision, he could practically feel his body's temperature dropping as a wave of chilling coldness run through his body, from the toes to the hairs on his head.
Around an hour ago. When Lucifer ran out of his dwelling to see where the source of waves of creeps is was crawling on his skin. Even someone like him with the ability to see in the dark was having difficulty in seeing.
Looking at the atmosphere in the surrounding and the direction in which air was moving, it felt like something was devouring the atmosphere. The atmosphere was despairing with only darkness and no light in sight. Right at this his 'sub-conscious' send him an image.
A tornado which was comparable to the Australia in size from the map of the world before chaos. Flashes of lighting and loud thunderclaps surrounding it with air and water being sucked in it. Some nearby islands which were small directly started rotating the tornado while others were being torn apart and then being sucked in it. The waves from the ocean rising enough to compete with some towering mountains in height. And the worse thing, it was still getting bigger.
But that is still not the core of the problem. The worst of all was that Lucifer instinctively knew that the place where the tornado is heading is the place where he first woke up, and one way or another somehow Lucifer seems to be the target of this calamity.
'Have you ever felt your soul leaving your body while still being alive?' Well, Lucifer got to experience just that. Anyone will surely come to understand the meaning of the word 'despair' after standing before a tornado whose height you will not be able to measure even after tilting your head to ninety degrees.
Lucifer kept running (or swimming) and he started losing his breath. But he kept on running and even his legs started getting painful. But he kept running. When he started to feel like he would die if he took even a single more step, he stopped, sat down, leaned his back against a rock and closed his eyes.
As someone who had a toe past the boundary of the human limit, he could endure his hunger for much longer but when it comes to eating it would all be the more. Thankfully, after being polluted by the radiations, even small animals were able to provide much more nutrients then their size. And due to mutations happening in human body, survivors were able to 'store' nutrients in their body.
Thus, he did not much have to worry about food, but he started getting hungry. From hunger he remembered that he forgot about his new sword because at that time his mind was only filled with the thought of running.
Deciding to stop worrying about anything and trying to accept his fate he tried to fall asleep.
'BOOM!!'
About ten minutes later, A loud explosion was heard. The explosion was not loud, but it felt like it rang in one's head. The direction of the voice was the place where the tornado was.
Due to the noise of explosion, Lucifer woke up just when he was almost about to fall asleep. When Lucifer opened his eyes, he saw some small sparks of electricity and something in rows passing by in his eyes.
Shaking his head to get the dizziness out of his head, he looked around to see his surroundings. The despairing atmosphere was no longer present. It did not look like the atmosphere was being sucked. Lucifer was confused but relieved.
Now that he has calmed down and can think properly, he started to reprimand himself for giving up so easily. Just as he turned to move back towards the settlement, he received yet another 'calm before the storm' like warning.
He decided to ignore warning this time and still moved towards the settlement. It first it was not noticeable but later Lucifer started having difficulty moving as efficiently as before. He could still run but now it required much more effort. But that was not all, Lucifer also felt like something was accelerating in his surroundings.
It was not like the time when he was being pointed at by the pistol. Paying more attention on that feeling, he discovered that the feeling was not coming just from his surroundings but more like the thing that was accelerating was everything.
It took him much effort and time just to reach the shore of the island he was currently on. Just as he was thinking of jumping into the sea, he saw something which made him froze.
At first, he felt like it was due to waves of the ocean and his imagination but taking a closer look, he got a horror. There in the reflection of the water he saw a middle-aged man looking towards him. There were some wrinkles on his face, and one could find some white hair on his head.
Lucifer moved his hand and smashed it on the reflection. He hit nothing but water. He kept looking at the ocean in daze and when he focused, he could feel his insides getting older by the second. He looked behind him and saw the tree that he just walked by getting older.
He looked back in the ocean and saw his reflection again but this time the amount of white hair on his head has increased. And there were still increasing.
When suddenly he felt the sky darkening. He looked up only to see the sky was filled many different colors mostly being the darker ones. The cold blue ocean water started getting warmer and its color changing to bright red.
The ocean water became hot from warm then got hotter and hotter until it felt like it was almost burning. There were no clouds, but long flashes of lighting were still present. Lucifer had already become deaf by the loud and constant thunderclaps. The islands started moving in water and the shores started burning.
Green water started falling from the sky but not from directly upwards but from the sideways. And forests before his eyes started getting burned. The rain was so acidic that it could even melt a rock. Tornadoes started forming in every kilometer of distance. The mountains started getting tossed upside down and sideways, literally.
Lucifer's skin started getting green and worms started crawling out of his body. Using his 'Body Modifier' skill to his best he started driving those worms our of his body while repairing his body to its previous shape which was right now like a dried corpse.
He started howling at top of his voice which too, started betraying him.
