Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 122 - 122: Defeated Varant

A lightning bolt left his finger, which seemed to be as dark as the darkness itself. They could see black lightning and its strength from the bolt. But it was too late to stop him.

Some of them were also curious if the pants would actually stop the attack or not. So they were glad that Lucifer was testing its effectiveness. As for the rest, they were shocked at the crazy kid who was trying to harm himself.

The lightning was powerful, and apparently, it was too powerful for the pants to handle. Still, the cardigan particles were able to reduce the strength of the lightning bolt by ninety percent before the bolt passed through them.

"Urgh!"

A light pained noise left Lucifer’s lips before he controlled his voice. His leg was bleeding as a hole was visible in his leg now. His leg also weakened because of the wound he got from the impact.

He was still not losing his balance since he used his other leg and the wind to his advantage.

"It works," he said, glancing at Henny.

’This guy... Just how did he grow up like this? He is so different,’ Henny thought as he gazed at Lucifer’s calm face as if nothing had happened to him.

The pants were still intact. Even though there was a hole in Lucifer’s legs, they could not see any damage in the pants.

A trail of blood trickled down his leg. His wound started healing as his healing power took effect.

"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you one more thing about the pants. It’s also bulletproof. Moreover, they don’t get affected by blood."

"You can throw a glass full of blood or mud on it, and that would be absorbed as the pants clean themselves. So cool, isn’t it?"

A clever grin appeared on Henny’s face as he talked more about it.

"Hey, since these could serve as bulletproof too, why didn’t you make that Vest Jacket with it? And our battle gear? When will you shift that to Cardigan Particles?" Caen asked.

Henny looked at Caen blankly. Caen stared back, wondering what this guy was thinking. Why was he staring at him?

"You asked a good question. An excellent question which is surprising coming from you," Henny explained before he burst into a peal of laughter.

"Your jokes are getting worse, Henny. Now answer," Caen said, feeling a little bit annoyed.

"The answer to your question is pretty simple. Because that’s where the limitation comes in. Each Cardigan Particle takes a long time to be created. As I said, this item is the first thing we made out from the stock we had. Even though we can create an unlimited number of such particles, it will take a lot of time."

Henny spoke spontaneously as he explained to them.

"According to my assumption, in a week, we can make one Battle Gear Transfusion to Cardigan Particles. Lucifer’s pants was a test of Cardigan Particles to see if we can create a clothing article with that."

"Now that the test is finished, we can start making the battle gear for Master Raia. After that, we will make for the others who are next in line. So your number is pretty late. But you’ll certainly get one."

"Don’t worry. And when you get one, there’s no need to replace or repair, so we’re free to move over to the next. Within some time, everyone here will have one," Henny added, reassuring them.

"It’s alright. I’m in no hurry since I don’t plan to get hit ever. I was just curious," Caen answered lazily before he shifted his attention to Vega.

"Now that we are done, shall we leave?" He asked.

"Alright. Let’s take off. I’m sure Raia left by now too," Vega muttered as he looked at the clock.

"He left? Where is he going?" Henny asked, shocked. "Is the big boss coming with you as well? It’s rare for him to go out. God, I pity your enemies then."

"Hah, no. He isn’t coming with us. He is going to attract the Righteous Wolf," Vega answered before he turned back.

He started leaving.

Lucifer also followed after Vega and the others. His black pants, battle shoes, and jacket looked so ordinary, but it was giving them a pretty unique look which didn’t look bad in the least.

Henny was left behind in the lab, watching the retreating back of Vega until he vanished from his sight.

"He’s going to attract the Righteous Wolf? I wonder which city is going to be destroyed today. At least Raia will have fun today," he muttered as he shook his head lightly before he went back to work.

...

A giant opening appeared in the middle of what seemed like a desert from which a helicopter came out, flying in a certain direction.

Inside the helicopter, a group of people was sitting. There were only seven people in the helicopter, but there was a strange aura surrounding them all, making it feel like they possessed immense strength hiding inside their bodies.

"So, which city are we going to, Raia?" One of the men asked as he gazed towards the man who had an expressionless look on his face.

"Which city, huh. Their information hub, Elantra. We’ll go there. That would certainly make them come," Raia answered as he gazed out the window.

His short silver hair matched his beautiful hazel eyes. As for his pale skin, that made him seem a bit like a Vampire.

He also wore a robe that seemed like a Royal Mantle, having an intimidating look instead of the fluffy ones that the Kings used. It was made of Cardigan Particles as well.

Actually, Henny hadn’t lied when he said that Lucifer’s pants were the first item he made with the Cardigan Particle. This robe was also something he made after that. At the moment, there were two clothing articles made of Cardigan Particles.

This one looked more unique though, since it was made by Transfusion of Cardigan Particles with Raia’s existing battle gear robe.

"Elantra? Sounds like fun. I wonder if Varant will show up. Hmm, I guess he will be there as soon as he knows that you’re there as well. He’ll leave everything behind and run to you," one of the seven laughed as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"That’s what we want, so I don’t mind. I also wanted to get to fight him once again," Raia replied as he talked about the leader of APF, Varant.

"His ability is really annoying, though," a dark-haired Variant said. "The ability that can defeat any Variant. He really needs to die."

"His ability can’t defeat all Variants. There are certain limitations. We just don’t know it yet. Also, didn’t Zale Azarel defeat Varant before?" Another Variant replied as he started laughing.
