By using Dagger Of The Night, Lucifer was able to quickly cut down the trees without spending much effort.
Since receiving this dagger, Lucifer had fallen in love with it at first sight. This dagger was not only useful in general, but it was extremely useful. This was the best thing Lucifer had ever received someone.
Dagger Of The Night could cut down trees smoothly, its damage to monsters was also very large, and it could also cover the blade with fire. Lucifer could use this dagger for many things.
As expected, it was the Artifact of one of the strongest system awakeners in the country - Owen.
Thanks to it, Lucifer's work progress was also much faster. It didn't take him more than an hour to cut down the necessary amount of wood.
What Lucifer was thinking of was to combine the logs together and secure them using vines to create a surface wide enough for Lucifer and Nothing to lie on comfortably without worrying about falling off while sleeping.
He had enough wood, now Lucifer needed to find vines, luckily Lucifer knew where he could get those things.
Since Nothing didn't know where that place was, this task would be assigned to Lucifer, while Nothing would stay and guard the base in case any monsters got past their traps.
Leaving Nothing sitting like a king on the tree branch, Lucifer headed deeper into the forest full of potential dangers alone.
***
The location of these vines was quite far away from his base, Lucifer had luckily discovered it while walking around the lake they used to get water 2 days ago.
Well, Lucifer wasn't exactly lucky either, as he had found some monsters sleeping soundly near the location where the vines were, but he still managed to get a few vines somehow.
This time, Lucifer just hoped that the monsters wouldn't be sleeping nearby, but rather somewhere a little further away.
'I am almost there.'
Lucifer's heart was beating like crazy with anxiety. A series of bad scenarios kept appearing in his mind, but Lucifer attempted to ignore it by thinking about something else, something happy that could keep his mood up.
Lucifer realized that he had made a mistake in not asking Nothing to come along, if Nothing was around, Lucifer would probably feel a little less worried.
But unfortunately, Lucifer couldn't summon Nothing right now, as he was guarding their base as well as grilling delicious meat for them to eat.
Thinking about the juicy and tasty meat from yesterday made Lucifer's mood a little more comfortable.
Suddenly, Lucifer heard some human voices talking instead of the growls of monsters from afar. There were humans on this island other than Lucifer, he was not alone on this island:
"Hey, should we leave this island?"
"If that's the case, how should we leave this island? Besides, we haven't had anything to eat for a few days."
"That's right, most of the monsters we encountered came in packs, there's no way we can deal with such a large number."
It seemed like there were 3 humans there, Lucifer was about to go meet them right away but then he immediately stopped when he heard the voices of all 3 people.
Those were extremely familiar voices, he had heard those voices before, voices that Lucifer could never forget even if he wanted to. Those were the voices of Clark, Damian and Lynja - the ones who made it impossible for Lucifer to get acquainted with anyone.
Even today, Lucifer still sometimes remembered the time when those three people humiliated him in front of hundreds of people, and his desire to kill them grew stronger and stronger.
'Should I kill them now?'
Lucifer had intended to attack them but then gave up. They could still be used, and moreover, Lucifer couldn't face three people who had been trained since they were young just by himself.
That's why Lucifer would spare them, at least for now. He would still kill them when the time came, after all, no one would know what happened inside the Trial.
As long as they were still on this island, Lucifer would still have a chance to kill them. So there was no need to rush.
Ignoring those people, Lucifer swiftly took as many vines as he could and returned to his base.
'But those three are really lucky, finding each other on the first few days is almost impossible to be honest.'

A new day had come, but today the weather was not as nice as usual, today, the sky was pouring rain. And not a light drizzle but a huge storm.
A few trees near Lucifer's base were uprooted by the terrible wind, the pile of leaves that Lucifer used to cover the traps were also blown away, revealing the holes, only a fool would fall into these holes when they were exposed like that.
But Lucifer's tree was not like the other trees, it was still able to stand firm somehow. As expected of the tree that Lucifer had chosen.
Lucifer hated the rain because his body would get wet, soak and be extremely uncomfortable, the temperature around him would also decrease a lot, and most importantly, Lucifer couldn't grill the meat to eat.
'This is so boring.'
What made Lucifer feel most uncomfortable was that Nothing had crawled into Lucifer's shadow to stay away from the rain. Now, Lucifer could only sit alone without anyone to talk to.
He thought that he had gotten used to the loneliness after many years of living in the slums, but it turned out that's not the case. Lucifer couldn't help but feel a little hurt.
Just a little.
A few dozen minutes had passed but the storm hadn't stopped yet, it's even bigger than before.
Lucifer sat alone like a loner, his body shivering from the cold, raindrops continuously falling into his eyes, causing Lucifer's vision to blur.
Lucifer should have built a shelter when he had the chance to do so. He felt so regretful.
At that moment, Lucifer heard the sound of branches breaking, footsteps, and heavy breathing approaching him. Because his vision was blurry, Lucifer couldn't see what it was, but Lucifer could almost guess that it was a monster.
A monster was approaching Lucifer with a clear desire to kill him.
'It's okay, I have to calm down! Just be quiet and do not make any noises.'
Lucifer tried to be as hushed as possible and calmed himself down, thinking that the monster wouldn't be able to drag him down from the tree, it didn't have intelligence anyway.
That was Lucifer's mistake. Lucifer didn't know that this Half Horse Half Wolf monster was a special monster, which meant it had intelligence, it could think like a normal human.
Lucifer's death was getting closer and closer. No, it should be called deaths to be more exact.
