Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 635 - 635: Challenge

Tom kept falling down, facing his death. Unfortunately, before he could even touch the ground, his face turned pale.

He looked down and noticed a see-through hole in his chest which was bleeding.

With his pale face, he looked back at Lucifer, understanding what had just happened. His vision started turning blurry as his eyes ultimately closed.

Thump~

He ultimately dropped to the ground, face first.

...

Nothing was left standing at the place. All the surrounding buildings were destroyed, turning into rubble.

There was only one which was still left standing, and it was none other than the Headquarters of the Warlock Council itself. It managed to survive while using its defensive mechanism, which consisted of all the special formations that were cast on it.

Lucifer looked back at the Warlock Council headquarters. He wasn't concerned about what might be happening inside since all Warlock Council heads that were here were killed.

He believed Milena was enough for the ones that were left inside the building. He didn't know that there was one Head Council Member still left who hadn't attended the meeting with him.

Including Julien, there were eight Head Council members that were still alive. However, only one of them was still inside the building.

Lucifer turned his attention to the bodies of the Warlock Heads that he had just killed now. Or, to be more precise, he was looking at whatever was left of their body in all this destruction.

He flew towards each of them, one after another absorbing their strengths so he could use them to evolve other powers of his.

He knew that twelve weren't enough though. He had to take out all the Warlocks that were in the city and were still alive.

Boom~

Just as he finished absorbing the Warlock Kings, he heard a loud explosion. He flew up and observed his surroundings, wondering what was happening.

The first thing he noticed was that a building was on fire. And a battle was going on nearby.

As for the ones fighting, they were from the Uprising. Dallas was fighting with a group of Warlocks in the distance.

He could see that his team was here, and they had come from all sides. The Uprising members had teamed up with the Nobles that could help them get here faster.

It was a perfect team up. It was also showing its effects. The damage factor of each of the two man squads was so much that they were taking on multiple Warlock Council members.

Call for help were constantly coming to the Headquarters from the Warlocks, but they weren't getting any response. Unfortunately for them, their message was only reaching Kellian's shadow, which was ignoring them.

All the Warlock Council members knew that something was wrong with the headquarters since they had seen the massive lightning phenomenon recently.

They couldn't even go back to check either as they were engaged in battles themselves.

"They're here. Pretty fast. In fact, it's a bit too fast..." Lucifer looked at his team members, frowning. "Were they hiding outside the city instead of going back like I had asked them?"

Instead of being happy about their fast arrivals, Lucifer was more concerned about how they made it possible. He wondered if they didn't follow his instructions.

If that was the case, the only person who could be behind it was Salazar. As for why he did that, Lucifer couldn't understand. Salazar didn't look like a person who wouldn't follow orders properly.

He looked around, trying to find Salazar since he needed his answers. In his mind, he was done with everything else at the moment. Only ordinary Warlocks were left that could be handled by Milena inside the building.

After looking all around, he finally noticed Salazar. He was fighting five Warlocks at once. The only difference was that he had his Time Domain which made it look like he was fighting slow turtles instead.

Without wasting a single second, Lucifer flew straight to Salazar.

Salazar had just killed one of the five Warlocks around him when four lightning bolts fell, taking out the rest of the Warlocks.

Salazar turned around, realizing who might have arrived. "You're here. It looks like things went well. I saw the massive lightning strike. It was the same as I had heard about your father's ability."

Salazar kept talking after seeing Lucifer, but Lucifer didn't look like he was in the mood to talk.

"May I ask how you're here so fast?" Lucifer straight asked Salazar.

"What do you mean?" Salazar asked, confused.

"I think you know all too well what I mean. How did you all get here so fast? Even if the Nobles flew at their fastest speed, they couldn't have brought you all here so fast. So tell me how you're here so fast!"

"This..." Salazar scratched the back of his head. "Man, your eye for detail is scary. I thought you wouldn't notice."

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Fine. I will tell you everything. I was about to take everyone back when one of the Nobles suggested that they could open a path underground. I think you know her,"?Salazar replied.

"It was Aslima, wasn't it?" Lucifer asked.

"Yep. Since you were concerned about us being seen, we decided that he was better off hiding underground instead of going back."

"Why didn't you tell me about it then?" Lucifer asked.

Just as Lucifer was interrogating Salazar, he felt a vibration inside his pocket.

He brought his gloves out and noticed that it was coming from Kellian.

"Think of a good answer. But it must be worth it," Lucifer told Salazar before he turned around. He wore the gloves as he flew back.

"Yeah Kellian?" Lucifer asked.

"Yaaaawn~"

The only thing that Lucifer heard in the response was a yawn.

The yawn was followed by a lazy voice. "Man, I feel really cranky when I have to wake up in the middle of my sleep."

"Who are you?" Lucifer asked. It wasn't Kellian's voice, that was for sure.

"Kellian? Is that the name of this guy?" Lucifer asked. "Whatever, I'm too lazy to care about."

"I just called you to tell you that I've killed this Kellian of yours. So, my dear Lucifer. Won't you come to take back his body? I don't want his body to stay in my bedroom. It might start stinking soon."

"You killed him?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"It depends." Julien's voice came from the other side.. "I mean, would you be open to considering his thousands of small pieces lying before me as proof of me killing him? If yes, then I'm afraid you're right."
