Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 104 - 104: Wrath Of Gods

"I got you now," Lucifer muttered as he caught the fist of Flourance before it could land on his chest.

"Looks like I was right. You can’t always stay like that. As you said, using the brain can sometimes be better," he continued as he gazed at Flourance expressionlessly.

As Lucifer talked, he gazed at the pained look on Flourance’s face, who was on the verge of screaming.

Flourance was feeling the brunt of Lucifer’s ability of Decay. As Lucifer caught his hand, which was out of the Spatial Displacement, the Decaying Powers of his started taking effect, which affected the entire body of Flourance. Even the portion of the body which was in a different space was affected.

His cells started dying as his body grew old. Inflammation started inside his body as his blood started evaporating. His skin started drying and breaking down.

With this much distraction and breaking down of his body, the Spatial Displacement of his was also broken as his entire body returned to the real space.

"Aaaah! Free me now!!!" Flourance cried in pain as he struggled to free his hand, but his strength was nothing compared to Lucifer.

It was as if his hand was caught by a mighty god. Since he was in the air, he couldn’t even use the ground to propel himself backward to free himself.

Gret and Oayne were horrified as well at the sight of Flourance, who was starting to look like a skeleton. His scream never stopped. At least not until his body turned to ash which sprinkled over the ground.

As the human weight was removed from the parachute, it flew away with the wind.

The other two Variants watched their Vice-Captain die. Sweat covered their faces since there were only the two of them left. After the death of Flourance, there was no one to attract Lucifer’s attention except the two people.

There was still some time before they could land on the ground and be able to fight or run. Until then, they were at the mercy of Lucifer. The two of them looked down at the ground as they sweated more.

"If he attacks now, one of us will die. Only one will survive since we’re close to the ground," Gret pointed out as he took a deep breath.

Oayne understood the graveness of the situation. His heart was beating like a drum as he saw death in front of him.

He still kept his courage as he said, "Whoever survives must run deep into the forest and hide. We can’t fight him. The sacrifices of us shouldn’t be in vain."

Gret gazed at his friend, who was the only person still alive with him. He released a mouthful of breath.

His eyebrows lowered as he said hopelessly, "I am closer to him, so he will attack me most certainly. That’s good as well. You have a daughter and a wife. I, on the other hand, am a bachelor with no one to care for me. No one will miss me anyway. After you land, please run and don’t look back. Survive at all cost."

After you escape, go back to the base and tell Varant what happened. Captain Xander is strong, but we are dealing with a monster here. We need to use all our strength to crush him, or we might suffer the events like today. Make sure you survive and tell everything!" he continued.

"W-what are you saying? Of course, you will Su-" Oayne was talking back when he stopped as he saw Lucifer turn around.

Lucifer was looking back at them. His face was as emotionless as ever. He could also see that there wasn’t much time to attack since they were soon going to land. If he attacked one of them now, the other one was going to survive and run away since he would be on the ground.

He had been attacking one person at a time until now since he wasn’t confident if he could attack two people at the same time with precision.

He decided to do it even at the risk of missing as he raised both his arms towards the two Variants.

"What the heck! He is going to attack us both?!" the two of them shouted at the same time, stunned. They both understood what Lucifer was trying to do.

"Can he even do that?"

"He hadn’t done that since the battle started, at least not successfully killing two at the same time. Is he trying something new? We’ll be dead if he can do this!"

None of the two Variants could believe if Lucifer could do this. They were all confident that he couldn’t; otherwise, he would have done this already.

Lucifer had fought against Flourance in Erygas. He had fought multiple enemies here as well. Why didn’t he attack simultaneously if he was capable of such great aim?

"Why would he be trying if he wasn’t capable of doing it? It looks like I wouldn’t be able to return and tell master Varant or Captain Xander. We’ll both be dead here," Oayne muttered as he gazed at the sky. He closed his eyes softly as if he had already given up.

"My wife and my daughter... I hope the APF can catch this guy and exterminate him, so the humans don’t face the wrath of this monster," he lamented as he prayed to the gods that he believed in.

The sky thundered right at that moment as if the gods were responding to him, telling him that they are watching everything.

A satisfied smile spread across Oayne’s lips as he heard the raging thunder of nature.

"Urgh!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood as the black Lightning bolt of Lucifer hit him.

His eyes opened wide in pain as he lost control of his body.

He looked to his side and saw a big hole in the chest of Gret. His clothes were covered in blood as well. His lips were bleeding as a single tear left the corner of his eye and slid downwards. His eyes lost their shine, but they still remained open even when he died.

Oayne watched his last companion die as well, but he knew that he wouldn’t survive for long either. His body was already damaged beyond repair.

He gazed at Lucifer as he said his last words, "You think you are the god. Live in that illusion for as long as you can. One day you will suffer the wrath of the true gods...."

His eyes closed as he lost the last bit of his life.
