Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 106 - 106: He Did

Lucifer had decided to agree to Caen’s proposal and slowly started floating downward until he landed on the ground.

He walked towards Caen with small steps, not in any hurry.

"I will come with you," Lucifer said without a tinge of emotion in his voice.

"That’s good," Caen let out as he smiled. He extended his hand towards Lucifer as if intending to shake his hand. "Welcome to the team."

Lucifer stood still without any movement. He lowered his gaze at the man’s hand, which didn’t have any gloves, before looking at his face as if he was looking at an idiot.

Caen wondered why he was looking at him like that before he realized what he had done wrong. He slapped his forehead as he let out, "Right. How could I forget about your Decay? You can’t control that."

Lucifer didn’t respond.

"Don’t worry. We have a few good resources. We do know of gloves that were made keeping your mother’s abilities in mind that can last for a day without decaying."

"We are already trying to get our hands on that technology. After we get that, we can create hundreds of such gloves for you so you can live your life as normally as you wish. As you know, we care for our team members. Since you are becoming one of us, you’ll be a part of our big family as well."

Caen kept talking as he tried to tell Lucifer about their sincerity. His smile never left his face.

Generally, he rarely smiled, but on a mission, he could use any persona, so he wasn’t having a hard time faking his expressions.

Lucifer was also finding the words of Caen interesting. He was intrigued by the benefits, but he still kept his suspicions. He wasn’t going to let himself be swayed since he knew that they had an ulterior motive as well.

"Right. We should leave now. Let’s go," Caen let out as he turned back. He walked back towards the helicopter.

Lucifer thought for another second before he started following him, unaware of how this decision was going to turn out. He didn’t know what was going to happen, but he had decided on one thing. He wasn’t going to think of them as any more than puppets that he would be using.

He wasn’t going to be making friends. He also wasn’t going to let them control him or use him like the scientists had done, even if he had to burn the whole world in the process.

He had only taken two steps before he stopped. A frown appeared on his face as he slowly turned back.

Caen also stopped and glanced back as he also heard a sound coming from behind them.

It sounded like the engine of a car that was making a big noise.

Lucifer gazed into the distance and saw a few off-road vehicles racing towards them. The car in the front had no roof while the other cars did.

In the first car, Lucifer saw a bulky man standing. The man had what seemed like a rocket launcher in his hand, which he was carrying with his right shoulder’s support. The car also had a driver and a few more men.

"More of them," Lucifer muttered as he gazed at them.

Electricity again flickered near his arms as he began using his powers. He smashed his right leg on the ground and used the impact to propel himself forward.

His feet left a deep mark behind, but no dust flew this time as the ground had seen plenty of rain recently. The soil was still wet, or his stomping might have caused a big cloud of dust in his wake.

"Wait!" Seeing Lucifer flying towards the cars with the intention to attack them, Caen shouted. "They are my men. They came to help us!"

Lucifer heard the words of Caen and stopped. His feet landed on the ground, but he didn’t turn back. His fists were still clenched as his eyes were still observing the fresh arrivals.

Caen walked towards Lucifer as he further described, "I told you they were waiting ahead for us to blow the other helicopters. As the Delta Squad guys found out about you being missing, they stopped and decided to move back. Since the old plan had failed, I called them here to support you in battle. Surprisingly you already dealt with the enemies before they could come."

"Fine," Lucifer muttered as he turned back and resumed walking towards the helicopter.

He soon reached near Caen and stopped when he was right beside him. He looked in Caen’s eyes in full seriousness.

Caen didn’t know why but he always felt intimidated whenever he looked into Lucifer’s eyes. It was the same this time. He asked, "Is something wrong?"

He wondered if he had done something wrong. He couldn’t see anything like that being done by him, though.

"I need clothes," Lucifer said, looking down at his chest. He had no shirt. He was bare-chested for a long time.

"Oh, that," Caen laughed as he nodded his head. "Don’t worry. We will buy factories of clothes for you."

"Good," Lucifer muttered as he walked past him. He entered the helicopter and sat down, folding his arms.

The Cars stopped in front of Caen as the men stepped out.

"What, boss! You called us here, but you already dealt with them. You could have left some of them for us at least," the bulky man who was carrying the rocket launcher said, looking disappointed. "I wanted to blow up a few of them."

"I didn’t touch even a single one of them," Caen answered as he shook his head lightly.

He glanced back towards the helicopter before he continued, "Well... technically, he didn’t touch them either, but it’s all the handiwork of our new friend."

"The work of that kid?"

"Really? Is he that strong?"

"What the heck! Did he kill all of them alone without dying? Just what kind of monster is he?"

All the men were stunned to know about Lucifer.

"What kind of monster is he? That’s what I’m curious about too," Caen muttered under his breath as he frowned.
