From the top of this statue, Lucifer could see the entire island, and thanks to that, he had also gained quite a bit of useful information… maybe. Lucifer didn't know where and how to use the information he had gathered.
But whatever.
To the North of the island was a very ordinary forest, a forest that people could find everywhere. A forest with a series of luxuriant trees and lush green leaves. That was also where Lucifer had set up his base, but looking from here, Lucifer didn't know where his base was.
Everything was really tiny when viewed from above. Lucifer thought he was already familiar with this scene since he had been living in Owen's house for a while, but he wasn't.
To the West of the island was an extremely majestic and gorgeous flower field with different flowers that Lucifer didn't know the names of. In the middle of the flower field was a stone temple that looked quite ancient, as if it had been built millions of years ago. In general, that place was poetically beautiful.
But Lucifer didn't feel that way when he looked at that stunning flower field. If his guess was correct, then that place was the place where he had died about 200 times.
'I swear I will never go back there again.'
The East side of the island looked quite ordinary. There was just a normal forest there like the North side, but what made it stand out was the existence of a tower in the middle of that forest.
That tower looked quite old and also quite threatening. There were also some giant statues of knights holding swords around the tower, as if they were protecting the tower from something.
It was a tall and extremely prominent tower, but Lucifer had never seen that tower until now.
Perhaps the reason he didn't see the tower was the same as the reason he saw a rocky mountain instead of a statue of a man chained like a slave.
Lucifer observed the tower for a long time, as if he was captivated by its mysterious beauty.
But Lucifer's intuition told him that he shouldn't approach the tower no matter what. And he shouldn't know if he should listen to his intuition or not.
Finally, there was the South. To be honest, Lucifer didn't know how to describe the South of the island. If there was one word to describe it, it would probably be "Chaos".
The South of the island was a chaotic, mysterious, and extremely dangerous place, a place that humans should not enter.
There was a forest with trees with blood-red leaves. In the South, there were also several giant weapons made of stone stuck in the ground, lost from their owners.
Not only that, there were also a few stone knight statues that had been greatly destroyed, which made Lucifer wonder who or what had destroyed those giant statues. Moreover, Lucifer could also observe an old village and many other things.
That was why Lucifer said that it was a chaotic place, without any meaning.

The sun was gradually disappearing below the horizon, but Lucifer, Nothing, and Volcanic Slime had not returned to the base yet.
It was not because they did not want to, but because they could not.
While the three of them were admiring the entire island in a daze, a herd of Centaurs had gathered below the statue without them noticing.
It was because of them that Lucifer's team was completely trapped on this statue. They could not go down even if they wanted to since there was a high chance that they would be killed instantly.
The Centaurs below had extremely handsome and beautiful faces, not inferior to world-famous actors or models. Even Lucifer felt that his beauty was far inferior to those Centaurs.
Furthermore, the male Centaurs all had strong bodies that were obtained through a lot of training, and their four legs looked equally strong and powerful.
Those Centaurs could have killed Lucifer instantly with just one kick.
Additionally, Lucifer guessed that they were all Giant-level monsters, and since they were happily talking to each other like normal humans, he assumed that they were special monsters - monsters that had the ability to think like the Half Horse Half Wolf he had faced before.
"Hey Lucifer, what should we do?" Nothing asked Lucifer, this was the tenth time he had asked Lucifer this question.
And just like the previous times, Lucifer shook his head in frustration, not knowing what to do in this situation.
At first glance, it seemed like these Centaurs were the ones who cleaned this statue, thanks to them, this statue was always kept clean without a speck of dust.
The Centaurs were talking while enthusiastically cleaning this statue.
Suddenly, Lucifer noticed a Centaur entering the statue, just one. It seemed like its purpose was to come up here to clean, which also meant that Lucifer and Nothing would have to confront it.
Could Lucifer win? This possibility was quite low because Lucifer also had to struggle a lot to be able to defeat Half Horse Half Wolf. And now he had to face another monster that was the same as Half Horse Half Wolf?
But he had one advantage, no, two.
The first advantage was that Lucifer could revive thanks to the Unknown Ring, but since it was just his guess, everything was still uncertain.
And the other advantage was that he could fight back against this Centaur because Lucifer could guarantee that the monster would never expect a human to be on top of the statue.
It would be attacked by not just 1 but 2 people, oh wait, counting Volcanic Slime, it would be 3.
"Hey Nothing, we'll sneak attack the Centaur that just entered the statue alright? What do you think of that plan?"
"Do we have any other choice?" Nothing replied with a tiring smile.
***
Lucifer and Nothing stood on opposite sides, both of them were holding their weapons tightly and waiting for the Centaur to advance to the top of the statue. They only had 1 chance, so both of them were quite nervous. They were trembling a lot as well.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer by time, and it seemed like the Centaur was whistling as well.
This monster reminded Lucifer of Owen, who often whistled while walking. Lucifer wondered how Owen was doing now? Was he still alive? And how about Reina?
"Get ready, Nothing." Lucifer said as quietly as possible.
"You're the one who needs to get ready." Nothing replied.
As soon as the centaur reached the top of the statue, the first thing it saw was Nothing holding a wooden spear and charging towards the monster.
The spear pierced through the monster's heart, not giving the Centaur a chance to say anything. But the monster wasn't dead yet, it was on the brink of death.
And that's when Lucifer made his move.
From behind, the skinny boy rushed towards the monster and stabbed it in the back of the neck, instantly killing the Centaur.
