Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 1015 1015: New

The Commanding General's suspicions deepened as he contemplated the ominous possibility of a hidden enemy. Was there really an additional threat lurking in the shadows, beyond what had already been discerned?

His vigilant gaze swept the surroundings, yet he remained unable to detect any other presence. What further heightened his apprehension was his unwavering conviction that the destructive force which shattered his spear had emanated from within Lucifer.

As the searing lightning bolt struck Lucifer's chest, a malevolent wave of energy surged directly toward his heart, sending it into a paralyzing spasm.

The brief cessation of his heartbeat gave way to a renewed rhythm, accompanied by the haunting sight of blood gently tracing its path from his lips as breathing was restored.

Lucifer's heart had started beating once again, but he still remained unconscious. Something strange was going on with his body. It was something that even he couldn't understand. It all happened when he was attacked by Anti Magic.

At that moment, he was certain that there was no escape. He could only bravely face the attack. He was certain that he could be seriously injured in the attack, but that didn't matter.

The attack proved to be more overwhelming than he thought, making his abilities unable to be used. He felt a surge of shock as he realized he was defenseless against the attack.

In the blink of an eye, Lucifer was overwhelmed by the attack. He felt his surroundings getting scorching hot, as if he was tossed straight into a lava, his skin burning. However, at the same time, he felt something else as well.

While all his abilities were made useless, there was something else that he noticed. It was something strange within him that he didn't notice before. It was only when he was at this stage that he felt this strange warmth rising within him.

It was something terrifying that even made him scared.

Lucifer was someone who wasn't scared even at the face of death before the Anti Magic Attack. But what he felt inside him made him scared. It was akin to some sleeping beast inside him, which was starting to wake up.

It was a strange power, that was getting stronger the more he was hurt by the Anti Magic Attack. Even the Anti Magic Field wasn't useful against this strange thing.

Moreover, he felt as if this strange ability within him was asking him to fully utilize its power if he wanted to survive. But Lucifer subconsciously resisted that strange feeling.

He felt as if he could forever lose himself if he accepted this ability. It was overwhelming, making him feel that he couldn't control it. More than the harm his body felt from the attack, he felt harmed by this ability.

The pain within him was stronger than the pain of his skin being burned. It made him roar in pain.

Lucifer tried to find a way to coexist with this power, but the struggle within himself threatened to tear him apart. He knew he had to make a choice - either embrace the ability and risk losing himself, or reject it and try to find another way to survive.

In the end, he chose to embrace this ability. Although he was scared that he might lose himself, but in this moment, he had to survive! He had to return to his family and survive, at any cost.

As Lucifer embraced the strange power, he roared out loud, feeling a pain like never before. His entire body was breaking apart. His heart was overwhelmed. His heart was beating over ten times per second, blood rushing through his entire body.

Most of his blood vessels burst open, blood trickling down his eyes, nose and ears. In the end, even he couldn't stay conscious. This pain made him pass out. What happened after that, he didn't know.

It was only when he felt a current course through his heart that he finally came to his senses.

Lucifer opened his eyes, his vision still blurry. As he looked at his body, he was surprised to see that he was fine. Even the blood trails on his face were gone. He remembered his face being covered in blood, along with his clothes.

However, at this moment, there was no blood on his face or in his ears. Only fresh blood was trickling down his cheeks. It was as if the time itself had been reversed to make sure that he wasn't hurt to that extent.

He also thought about reversing time in the past, but he couldn't do it anymore, especially because of the elemental manipulation by the Star Alliance. And on top, the Anti Magic further restricted what he could do, which made it strange.

He was certain that it wasn't Time Reversal, but it was something similar. Something that he couldn't quite understand. At the moment, there was another Ability Core within his body.

It was an ability core which was in his heart. It was the same Ability Core which he noticed when he was attacked by Anti Magic. It was also what saved him. Unfortunately, he still wasn't certain how.

How could his core activate on his own? How could his other abilities protect him from the Star Alliance, as if they had a mind of their own. How was it possible?

Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to think about it. With the Star Alliance distracted because of the Lightning Storm, not much attention was on him. At the same time, the Spatial Restriction was also removed by the Star Alliance, which granted him an even better opportunity.

Instead of trying to escape right away, Lucifer glanced towards the Commanding Ship. Since these people were so interested in him, he couldn't leave them be.

They had shown him what they were capable of. And now, it was his turn.

Even he hadn't noticed it, his thoughts had slightly changed at that moment. Now, he was angrier and felt an urge to kill people he hated. And one such person was right before his eyes.
