Inhuman Warlock

674 Chapter 674: Complications

"There are many complications in it." Cassius nodded.

"At best, we'll only take out the conflicting ability and none of his old abilities. And at worse, one of his original abilities might be gone too. You understand that?" Xaen asked Salazar.

"So there's a good chance that he might lose his healing," Salazar muttered, glancing back at Lucifer. "If that happens, he's going to be really angry when he wakes up."

"I don't think it's the time to think about that," Eve said. "At the moment, his life matters more. Even if it needs his healing or other abilities to be sacrificed."

"He had already defeated most of the enemies. He already conquered most of the threats. I think Uprising can take it from here even without his healing," Alicia agreed.

"And even without healing, he'll be able to take care of things. Underneath all this, he'll be the same old Lucifer after all. The leader who brought us so far. From being one of the factions in a small nation to taking out the Warlock Council," she continued.

"So the situation of this place is the handiwork of you all. I was wondering why this city was in shambles. You have been going around, waging wars?" Xaen asked, sighing.

He looked at Lucifer. "Sigh, the old man was the same, thinking about taking over the nation. He changed but the kid... Still, it's surprising that he has reached so far. I knew he could reach far, but this far...?"

"Please take out both the cores if needed. Just help him first," Salazar told Xie, agreeing to the procedure.

Lucifer without healing was still Lucifer for him. He also prepared for what was to come.

"Ah, sir?"

The door opened as a Warlock stepped into the room and approached Yaliza.

In the absence of Kellian, Yaliza was indirectly incharge of the Uprising Team.

"Not now. I don't have time. If it's not important, wait outside. We're dealing with more important things," Yaliza told the man.

"Ah, it's a little important. A plane has been seen approaching the city."

"Enemy?" Yaliza asked. He turned to Salazar. "You all take care of him. I'll see what's happening. If needed, I'll give you a call."

Yaliza left the room.

"What details do you have?" he asked the man.

"Apparently, it's a place that's coming from Elisium. We just received information about it."

"A plane from Elisium? Is Kane coming here?" Yaliza asked.

"I'm not sure. It just said that someone important is traveling from the plane," the man replied.

"Why did you need me then? Couldn't you have gone to receive wherever was coming?" Yaliza asked. "I thought it was about an enemy."

"I-i just thought that you should know about the plane. Someone from Elisium is coming here at this time. We don't think it's something ordinary."

"Sigh, fine. I'll go personally to see who is coming. Is the chopper ready?"

"It's waiting on the roof."

"Good."

Yaliza went to the roof and left the base, going to the airport.

After landing at the empty-looking airport, he started waiting for the plane to land.

After around ten minutes, he saw people coming out. The first person he saw was none other than Veracity. She had a calm yet tired expression on her face.

Seeing Veracity, Yaliza sighed. "So it was just her? Lucifer must have invited her."

He stepped towards Veracity but stopped as he saw the person behind her.

"What? How can he be alive? I thought he..."

...

Lucifer reached the tallest building in the city, which was going to become the place where the strongest of Warlocks from the continent resided.

It was also the place where the government operated from at this moment. Many government offices were in the building, which was why the security wasn't bad either. There were armed guards at the entrance.

Right at the entrance, Lucifer and Zale were stopped. "May we know your purpose of visit?"

"We need to go to the lost and found department," Lucifer replied.

"So you have an appointment? Wait a minute, there is no lost and found department! Are you joking with me?"

"There isn't a lost and found department?" Lucifer asked, surprised. "Don't worry; we'll make one. Let us go in."

"I'm sorry, we can't allow you to get in. Please step away!" The guards refused to let anyone in.

Zale took a step forward to handle the situation. "Actually, both of us are Variants. We need to go in for important work."

"First of all, why should we believe that you're Variants? Secondly, even if you are, we can't let you in without an appointment." The guards refused to budge.

"Hmm? You want me to prove it?" Lucifer asked. "Fine with me."

Snap~

Lucifer snapped his wingers, creating a wind blast around him which sent the guards flying.

The guards fell to the ground. Most of them dropped the weapon. The weapons they dropped flew towards Lucifer on their own.

The weapons which weren't dropped were also taken by Lucifer. He sent all the weapons flying high to make them land on the roof of a distant building.

"Ah, what were you saying about not hurting the people?" Zale asked, smiling wryly as he remembered Lucifer's compassionate words before Clarisse.

"Not over an ice cream. You're comparing Tomato with potato," Lucifer replied, smiling. "That reminds me. The potato chips weren't bad at the hotel. I should have that again before leaving."

As he talked, he stepped towards the door, which opened on its own with the wind.

The guards on the outside stood up. "A-alert the security!"

"How? He not only took our weapons but also our communication device. We would need to go to that roof to get them. Or we could try entering the building, but the two of them will be there. I don't want to take that risk," the other guard replied, sighing.

"Ah, that..." The others were also slightly intimidated at the thought of how easily Lucifer took them out.

"Should we really antagonize him? I mean, he can kill many people. Maybe he truly needs to get some work done."

"You idiots! Two Variants came, pushed us aside, and you are scared? Is that how we'll defend this nation?! You stay here if you're that scared. I'll go inside myself and alert others!"

One of the guards ran inside the building. He could see Lucifer stepping inside the lift with Zale.

He ran to reception. "Enemies are inside the building! Quickly stop the left! Turn on the power of the lift. We can trap them."

Thud~

The lift was going to the top when it stopped abruptly in the middle of the two floors.
