Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 640 - 640: Misunderstanding

Lucifer didn't realise how it happened, but he understood that he had started enjoying the hunt for Julien.

Julien kept running, but no matter how much he ran, he couldn't hide. The shadows were everywhere.

He was going crazy! Just a few minutes ago, everything was under his control, but now he had lost everything.

He was like the King of his domain that no one could disobey! He could kill anyone and everyone! He was the predator who was too strong for this weak world? How did he become prey from a predator?

Just what exactly was Lucifer! How was he immune to his abilities? He couldn't understand.

He was so close to just giving up when the shadow appeared again, swinging that sword once again. This time the shadow sliced Julien's left hand from his ankles.

Arghh~

Another scream filled the hall as Julien dropped to the ground.

"Stop crying. You're hurting my ears." Lucifer's calm voice fell in his ears again. Looking back, he noticed Lucifer there.

"Why are you playing with me! Kill me directly, you coward!" Julien yelled with bloodied eyes.

"Kill you directly?" A wide grin formed on the lips of Lucifer. "That won't work. You showed me your skills by leaving Kellian in a thousand pieces. And it's time I show you my skills by doing something similar."

"Let's see. Your record is a thousand pieces. I think two thousand should be enough for me, right?" he asked, smirking.

Ten more shadows appeared around Julien, making him dread what was coming.

Lucifer turned his back on Julien, whose screams increased more and more. Lucifer didn't go too far since he had to stay close to shadows to keep them immune from time freeze.

However, the window wasn't far from him. He went to the window instead of wasting his time looking at Julien, who was doomed to suffer worse than Kellian.

Standing before the window, Lucifer looked towards the city. The Headquarters of the Warlock Council was the tallest building in Elisium, which gave Lucifer a clear view of the city in the surroundings.

He could see fires and explosions all around the city. It looked like the battles were still going on. He hadn't expected his men to take so long to deal with the Warlocks that were spread throughout the city.

It looked like the Warlocks weren't that weak either. They could at least put up some fight for the most part as long as they weren't faced with the Warlocks of his or Milena's calibre.

As Lucifer observed the surroundings, he noticed that the screams of Julien had stopped entirely. But the shadows were still going on. It looks like they were going to finish their target of two thousand for sure.

Just to be sure, he retracted his Energy Negation domain to only surround himself to see if the effects of Time Restrictions were over. And just as he expected, the shadows could move freely without his Domain.

Since Julien was dead, his powers had stopped working. Lucifer also stopped his Energy Negation since he didn't need that anymore. Moreover, that skill always took a great amount of toll on his body.

It was very energy consuming since it basically used the energy of his body to stay active. In fact, he could feel that it was more energy consuming than his lightning itself.

Leaving Julien to the shadows, he walked back to Eve and Milena.

...

As Lucifer had left Eve to chase after Julien, she was once again trapped in time, and only after Julien died did she get free. She didn't even realize that she was again trapped. She was still confused.

Lucifer and Julien had disappeared from the surroundings. For a moment, she even wondered if she was imagining stuff before but then she noticed the drops of blood near her.

Lucifer had stopped the sword, protecting her. He didn't even hesitate to let his own blood flow for her sake.

She couldn't help but feel a bit sweet inside her heart. For someone like Lucifer to protect someone else, it showed that he did care for her and his friends even if he didn't show it.

As she thought about Lucifer and how he was, the scene of their kiss again flashed before her eyes, making her face turn red. "What am I thinking! It's not the time!"

She left the room to see what was actually happening.

...

Outside the room, Milena had also come out of the time freeze.

She was in the middle of the air, about to bite Julien, but her teeth only landed in the empty air. Julien had disappeared.

"What? Where did he go?!" She exclaimed, but something even more shocking happened.

She saw the head of all the Warlocks drop on the ground right before her eyes, all at the same time. This was slightly intimidating for her as well.?How were they killed so fast? Who was doing it?

She cast a barrier around her and used Energy Negation as she looked around. She was sure that it was the work of Julien.

Just as she was trying to find Julien, she heard the sound of footsteps. It was coming from the left corridor. She believed that Julien was certainly there!

She teleported near that corridor and stood on the side, prepared to mount a surprise attack.

She didn't realize that it was Lucifer she was prepared to attack.

Lucifer had already worn his gloves again since there was no threat anymore. Even she didn't know that Milena was waiting to attack him.

Milena heard the footsteps getting closer. She was prepared to bite the next of Julien for sure this time.

And just when the footsteps reached close enough, she teleported before the corridor and jumped towards Lucifer, trying to bite his neck.

Lucifer was also surprised at the sudden attack. Without thinking twice, he grabbed the throat of the assailants as he thrust his hand ahead to claw out the heart of the enemy.

It all happened so fast that no one had a single second to think about it or control their actions. It was too late...

Milena couldn't bite Lucifer as he had grabbed her throat, keeping her away. Instead, it was Milena who was in danger as her heart was about to be clawed.

Fortunately, Lucifer saw Milena's face at the end moment. He acted fast and opened his fingers that were about to stab the chest of Milena to protect her.

Milena survived because of the fast thinking of Lucifer, but even she wasn't completely unfazed. No matter how fast Lucifer acted, he still found his hand pressing against the left breast of Milena…
