Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 649 - 649: Goodbye Lucifer...

Salazar glanced back at the city once again before turning to the chopper. "Yeah. We can't let Andrim escape. Hopefully, the city can survive this onslaught until this."

In the background, Cassius was more concerned about Lucifer. He didn't know why, but his heart felt uneasy after seeing all this.

First, Lucifer wasn't responding, and now all this. Something seemed really wrong.

...

The lightning kept falling on the building again and again. The defenses of the Warlock Council headquarters kept getting damaged with each passing second as more and more bolts fell. It was clear that the building wasn't going to last long.

At this point, even Yasmine could feel the vibration on the floor. There was a constant drumming sound with terrible vibration.

She stood up and ran to the window, looking outside. "Just what the..."

His lips remained open as she saw all the destruction outside. Black lightning bolts were falling everywhere.

Wherever the bolts fell, destruction took place. Buildings fell to the ground, houses were destroyed, and thousands of people were killed, but Lucifer had no idea what was happening.

Yasmine understood why the building was vibrating! She understood that it was probably because of all the lightning, most of which was probably falling over the headquarters.

Even the Warlocks and the Nobles were having a hard time avoiding all the bolts that fell anywhere without any order.

One of the Nobles was flying towards the main headquarters while screaming to warn others.

"Hurry! We need to get to the headquarters! That can be the only safe pla-"

Boom~

In his warning, he failed to avoid a bolt himself as tens of them fell at the same time above him, leaving no room to escape.

The lightning only intensified. Instead of one bolt everywhere, groups of black bolts fell around the city.

The survival of the city was looking unlikely if things remained like these.

Seeing all the damage, Yasmine was sure that they were all going to die if it didn't stop.

She hastily ran to Lucifer.

"Lucifer! You need to stop! You're destroying everything you worked hard for! You're destroying your legacy!" She yelled to Lucifer, but to no avail.

It was as if he couldn't hear her. He looked really sick.

This made Yasmine think of something else. It all started when she had tried to help Lucifer with a wet cloth on his forehead. That's when the barrier of his came. It didn't come when she carried him here or kept him on the bed.

She wondered if it was because of that? Was his body resisting any temperature control measures for some reason? Or was it something similar yet different?

She didn't have much time to think. She could only go along with her theory and rest.

She took off the wet cloth from Lucifer's forehead and placed it on the bowl of water before running to the window again.

Boom~

Another lightning bolt fell on top of the building, this time shattering the barrier entirely.

As the bolt destroyed the roof, its rubble started falling down towards Lucifer.

Seeing the rubble fall, Yasmine grew scared. She didn't want Lucifer to be hurt in a situation like this. But she couldn't do anything else either.

She didn't have a barrier to keep Lucifer safe. And her energy negation wasn't going to keep him safe.

Fortunately, just as she thought about risking herself to stop the rubble, she noticed that the pieces had stopped.

A semi-translucent barrier appeared around Lucifer, protecting him from it.

The barrier didn't seem to belong to Lucifer as it was a different color.

"May I ask what's happening here?" A calm yet confused voice came from the side.

"Aira! You couldn't have come at a better time!" Yasmine let out, breathing a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"That aside, are you going to tell me what's happening?" The red-haired woman asked.

She was one of the High Lords in the Divine Empire and a part of the team that came for the battles.

"Wait a minute! It works!" Yasmine exclaimed, seeing the vibrations stop. She looked out the window. "The lightning stopped!"

The fierce lightning fall had stopped outside. The sky was still dark and roaring, but it wasn't attacking. It was as if it was warning her, again and again, to not try something like this against its master!

The Warlocks and Nobles that were still on the way to the headquarters sighed a breath of relief, seeing the onslaught stop. They didn't stop though.

They still continued advancing towards the Warlock Council headquarters just to prepare for another such storm.

...

"Why is he lying like that and not protecting himself? What actually happened?" Aira asked Yasmine.

"I'm not sure. I found him unconscious on the twelfth floor when I was searching for him. He seems to have a really bad fever. When I tried to help him, his lightning grew restless," Yasmine replied, looking towards the hole on the roof.

"I wonder what is happening with him. But it doesn't look good for him and for us."

"What do you mean? Isn't it the best opportunity to kill him?" Aira smiled, licking her lips.

"What?" Yaliza looked at Aira, confused.

"I mean, come on! This bastard cheated Her Majesty to enslave her! And he's been using us like we're his servants! Previously, we couldn't do anything because he was too strong and always had his people around him."

Aira smirked.

"But now he is alone! And he is the weakest we can ever hope to see him. What could be a better opportunity to kill him than what we have right now? Just imagine! We can kill him right now and destroy his body! We'll be free of him!"

"And then Her Majesty can reign supreme on the whole world. As long as this Demon is gone, no one would be left who is stronger than her! We shall be free! We can also kill his team members after that. Without him, they are nothing for us?"

As Aira talked, she kept walking closer to Lucifer. She removed the spherical barrier which was around Lucifer as a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

She stood just a few inches away from Lucifer. She could already see a beautiful world ahead of her which didn't contain Lucifer!

"I can't believe we have been this lucky." She licked her lips, feeling delighted. "A golden sword took shape in her hand, made purely of the energy that she had used to make the barrier."

She raised the sword, aiming it towards Lucifer's throat. A devilish grin remained on her luscious lips.

"Goodbye, Lucifer Azarel. If you have a next life, don't try to chew more than you can eat!"

Swiss~

She brought her sword, slashing down.
