Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 563 - 563: Cowards

"It all started because of me. So what if I had to kill you to save him? I won't let you suffer because of that. Just tell the elders that I did everything, and you came in too late. It's not as if I have any family members. It won't matter even if I'm killed. But you have a family. I can't let you and your family suffer," Lucifer said, sighing.

"Nonsense! I don't care what happened! I won't let you take the blame for it! You did everything for me! Moreover, you're an outsider. You'll actually be killed. If I take the blame, it won't matter."

"The Thunder Lion clan won't be allowed to kill me because of my family! And we're not scared of a little conflict! Just like you, I also know how to respect righteousness! Nothing will happen to you!"

Just as Lucifer had planned, everything worked in his favor. This guy was actually what he thought. He fell for everything.

Standing in the back, Amelia was stunned. Just what was happening here? How was he so good at manipulation? He literally killed a High Beast because he wanted to and made it seem like it was because of Deon that he had to do it.

"Give me that sword!" Deon told Lucifer.

Lucifer already knew how far the High Beasts were. So he didn't resist and handed the bloodied sword to Deon.

Five Thunder Lions landed in the empty place where houses used to be until just a little while ago. However, only blood and destruction could be seen there.

Lynx's father came to see who was fighting with Lynx and what was happening here, but as soon as he reached here, he was greeted with the sight of his dead son.

The headless body of his son was lying in the middle, and Deon stood before the body with the sword in his hand.

Without thinking, the Thunder Lion Patriarch roared towards Deon and started dashing towards him. "You killed my son! You shall die!"

"Who dares to kill me, son! Let me see!" The Golden Rhino Patriarch also reached the place, roaring in his mighty voice.

He cast a barrier before the Thunder Lion Patriarch to stop him from getting to his son. In the meanwhile, he reached his son. He stood in the middle of him and his son.

"What's happening here?" The Snow Wolves also arrived.

Hun's father saw Lucifer standing with Deon. He grew confused as to what happened here.

"Father!" Hun also arrived in the field, surprising Lucifer. He didn't run away? He was followed by Gon, Jenilia, and Salazar.

The four of them were getting away when they noticed the Snow Wolves running towards the battlefield. Seeing no other reason to run, they came back. Hun was sure that with his father and his Uncles present, no one was going to harm them.

"Mother!" Hun approached his mother.

"Hun, do you know what happened here?"

Hun looked around, growing surprised to see Lynx was already dead. His head was chopped.

He could see the blood-covered sword in Deon's hand, but he was sure that it was done by Lucifer. He was the one who took the Sword. Moreover, Deon was in his real form when he left. He couldn't have held the sword.

"Yes. I told you Lucifer was going to stay here? Apparently, Lynx came here to get him out and attacked him. Then Deon came to stop the battle, but Lynx also attacked him. That's what happened here," he explained, making sure he was loud enough so everyone could hear him.

Even the Golden Rhino Clan Patriarch heard him. He looked towards his son. "Is it true?"

"That's right father. I came here to stop the conflict, but Lynx attacked me. It was as if he had gone crazy. I had no choice but to kill him," Deon replied.

His father also noticed the teeth marks on his neck and all the other wounds.

"Your son tried to kill my son in my area! And now you dare to do the same? Do you want to die as well?!" The Golden Rhino Clan patriarch roared towards the Thunder Lion Patriarch.

"You? Your bastard son killed my son, and now he's making a story?! My son would never have attacked someone for no reason! Your son murdered my son! Now I'll make it right by sending him to my son so he can apologize to him directly!"

"Really? I dare you to try touching him!" The Golden Rhino Patriarch took a step forward, challenging the Thunder Lion.

Amelia's mother also landed before her. She was also confused as to what the conflict was about. Why were these two High Beast clans facing each other? But she soon noticed Lynx's body and the Sword in Deon's hand.

She understood a few things just from that. Apparently it was a conflict between the kids that got out of hand, and now the Elders were involved too.

She asked her daughter. "Can you tell me what happened here?'

Instead of accepting the truth, Amelia also went with the story since that's what everyone else was doing. She told the same thing that Lynx had attacked the Snow Wolf Clan guest when Deon came in the middle to stop the fight; he was attacked as well.

"Father, he saved us from the crazy Lynx! We should side with them!" Hun looked to his father. "The Thunder Lion clan is too arrogant, thinking they own the city and they can attack anyone for no reason!

"Why should we? He didn't try to harm one of us. Let the two clans deal with the matter themselves. It's not as if that Lucifer is from our Clan or anything. We have no stake in this." It was Hun's second uncle who answered instead.

"That's not right! He knew Lucifer was our guest when he attacked. Moreover, I was also attacked. But Lucifer asked me to get away from the battlefield, so I could keep Gon safe. If not for that, I would've been standing with them as well! We do have a stake in it!" Hun insisted.

"Just think about it! Even Deon came to stop the battle since he knew it was wrong. On the other hand, Lucifer is our guest. Deon was an outsider in the conflict, but he stepped in because it was the righteous thing. On the other hand, we are running away from conflict?"

"The world will call us a coward and mock us for this! We can't be idle spectators! We need to join!" he added.

His father looked at him, frowning.. It was unclear what he was thinking.
