Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 619 - 619: Weapon Of Dreams

"If you're ready to tell, I'm ready to listen. And if you tell the truth, you can start considering me a member of the Warlock Council as well," Lucifer replied.

"That's Perfect," Andrim smiled.

The other Warlock Council members were upset at this. They didn't want the secret to be revealed to the outsider, especially someone like Lucifer.

However, they kept their silence, thinking that Lucifer was going to be dead soon anyway. It didn't matter.

"Can you send your friends outside?" The old man asked Lucifer.

"Mili, Artho, can you wait outside for a minute? Don't come back until I invite you."

Milena and Arthur also wanted to hear what was so special about the stones. Why were these people after that? However, They still went along with the plan and left the room.

Kellian still remained hidden in the shadows of Lucifer.

The door locked again after Milena and Arthur stepped out. The room was sealed. The words that were said inside couldn't be heard by anyone on the outside.

"Can we start now? Why do you want these stones?' Lucifer began the questioning.

"I am getting to that," the old man smiled. "Don't worry."

"Let's start from the beginning. You weren't even born when the Dungeon Dwellers attacked the world. They killed billions of people on almost every continent. Most people think it was to simply kill people since they were monsters. However, that wasn't the case."

"The Dungeon Dwellers killed humans everywhere, but they had a purpose behind it. Do you know the purpose?" The old man asked Lucifer.

"I don't," Lucifer lied with a straight face.

"The purpose was to create the seven stones which were made using the life essence of humans," Andrim explained. "Initially, the main purpose of these stones was to open a portal. Maybe a portal to their home? We can't say for sure. But that was the case."

"However, just when they opened the portal, some people stopped them. And one of them was your father," Andrim said, smiling.

"In the eyes of most Warlocks, it was your father who stopped a calamity. And maybe those people are right. I won't comment on it. It's better left to the understanding of others since we can't really judge what the intention of the person on the other side was," he added.

"So you want to collect the portals to call that being here to know his intention?" Lucifer asked.

"Nope. Even though we don't know if he was a friend or a foe, we don't want to know either. It's better if he stays away. Let me continue the story. You'll understand."

"Your father tossed six of the seven stones in a different direction to stop the portal. And one of those six stones fell on the continent of Triton. And it was discovered by one of our Warlock Council members."

"That was the point when we started researching on the stones."

As the old man talked, another hologram appeared, which showed a stone floating in the middle and some scientists surrounding it and researching on it.

"The stone was discovered in the year 2028. And it took us five years of research to understand something. And what we understood was that the stones weren't just a key to open a portal. It was something else!"

...

Milena and Arthur stood outside the room, trying to hear what was being said inside, but they couldn't hear a single word.

Despite having so many powers, one of which was the ability to hear better, Milena couldn't hear.

She was starting to get frustrated. The suspense was killing her.

"Calm down. No need to get impatient. It's just a matter of time," Arthur told Milena, calming her.

"I am calm," Milena rolled her eyes.

...

"What was it?" Lucifer asked Andrim.

Andrim smiled but didn't answer. He turned to the man sitting near him.

"Joan, do you want to take it forward?" he asked a golden-robed man. "You were a part of that research team after all."

Joan nodded.

"We were told about these stones a few months after the Great War had ended," Joan said. "The Warlocks from Elisium contacted us and the other continents to tell us about the end of the War and the reason these beasts had attacked and how they were stopped."

"According to the information, these stones were a key to open the portal as long as it was with the other six stones. However, I could see that it was much more."

"That's why I started testing on it. And I was right. The stone wasn't just a key. It was a source of incredible power instead! It wasn't something that was useless without the other six stones! Instead, it was a miraculous energy source waiting to be discovered."

"And after a long and extensive research, we found how to use this energy. All we had to do was merge the stone with another artifact with the help of a merging formation."

"After reaching that point, all that was left was to find a suitable formation that could compliment the stone. And that's what we found. We used the stone with the strongest weapon we could make. And the merger of the two made something out of this world! It made the strongest Weapon if you would like to call it that!'

"We call it the Sword of Angels. It's something I'm very proud about," Joan said, smiling. "We want to find other stones so we could use them to make even more Weapons from the Heaven Series."

"Now you understand, right?" Andrim chimed in. "That's why we've been trying to get more stones for us without leaking this information. We don't want others to know how useful they are. We don't want another Heavenly Weapon in the hands of an enemy."

"The Sword of Angels..." Lucifer muttered. "Is it really that strong?"

"Strong? Strong would be an understatement. We don't call it a Heaven Series Sword for no reason! This truly is a weapon that doesn't belong on earth. This is the life's work of the Warlock Council. This is a weapon of dream! It's something that gives us the confidence to take on any enemy!" Andrim said proudly.

"If you really had that sword, why didn't you send your men with that sword to kill me?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

What he truly wanted to ask was why they weren't using that sword against Milena.. Why did they need his help? Why were they even worried about losing their men if they really had such a formidable weapon? Something didn't add up.
