Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Waking Up

The old man once again sat down, tired and disappointed at the failure. 

"I should take him back and arrange for his burial," the man said after he rested for a little. "Enough time wasted already."

He pushed his body up as he stood up before approaching Lucifer again. 

"Wait a minute. If he is in a coffin, won't the Coffin be destroyed as well? Even after his death, his abilities work, after all. I wonder if his abilities work on himself. If they don't, I can place his hand on his chest," the man muttered as he tested this theory. 

He moved Lucifer's hands and placed them on his chest as he observed carefully. 

"This won't work on him," he observed as he nodded. "What about his clothes?" 

The man once again moved his hand as he made Lucifer touch his shirt, which started decaying. 

"So this works on everything as long as he touches using his hand. The only exception is his bare body."
