Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 562 - 562: Execution

Amelia cast a flaming shield around her to protect herself. Hun also cast a snow shield around him, Lucifer, and Salazar, protecting them.

"Where is Jenilia?" Lucifer asked Salazar. He was sure she wasn't in the house, at least when it blew up. If that were the case, Salazar wouldn't have been so calm.

"I kept her hidden in a different house. But if the battle keeps going on, she might die as well. The house isn't far away either."

Lucifer looked at Hun. "Hun, can you protect Jenilia and get Gon out of this place? He needs to remain safe."

"But you...?"

"I'll come back after handling some things here."

Hun looked at Amelia. "I can't leave you alone with them all. They might turn on you."

"Are you worried about Amelia? Don't worry; she won't harm me."

"Huh? How do you know her name?"

"Don't ask questions. Before the place is destroyed, take Gon away. I'll tell you later. Salazar will show you the place."

"Salazar, go with him and leave. I don't want you to stay here. Don't delay."

Salazar glanced at the battle in the distance and nodded. He wasn't scared, but Gon's protection was the main deal. Without him, they couldn't have a way back.

"Are you really sure?" Hun asked again. "I still think you should come with us too."

"I'm perfectly sure. Leave now," Lucifer responded.

Hun removed the barrier after glancing at Lucifer one last time before asking Salazar to lead the way.

"Salazar, would you mind leaving that Sword?" Lucifer asked Salazar, stopping him at the last moment. "I might need it."

"This?"

"Yeah. My claws suffer inside his body. But the sword was perfectly fine. I can use it."

Salazar gave the Sword to Lucifer even though it didn't belong to him in the first place.

"Go now!"

Salazar and Hun left, leaving Lucifer behind.

Amelia stepped closer. " I'm not sure how you did it, but you brought yourself out of the battle and pushed another High Beast in the battle, singling out Lynx. Not bad."

"Who told you I pulled myself out of the battle?" Lucifer responded, glancing at the sword in his hand.

"You mean you're going to fight again? You really shouldn't. It's fine if Lynx and Deon fight since they'll get tired and stop the battle. But you shouldn't harm Lynx. If he's dead, his family will search for you. And the war between cities might begin. You should leave."

Lucifer shook his head, knowing he couldn't leave. He had enraged Lynx a bit too much. Moreover, one of their men was dead. If Lynx survived and went back home, he'd come back with more people. Killing him was better to remove a future threat.

Moreover, if Lynx is killed when fighting him and Deon, no matter who killed him, Deon would also find himself wrapped in the conflict with the Thunder Lion Clan.

That way, he would be forced to face the Thunder Lion clan, keeping them busy with his family. The Snow Wolf Clan might come to help as well.

"Now, if you'll excuse me." He flew straight into the air, stopping high in the sky.

The Thunder Lion and the Golden Rhino were still engaged in battle, destroying many nearby houses in the process.

"Hmm?" From high in the sky, Lucifer noticed more High Beasts coming in their direction.

He could see a group of Thunder Lions coming from one direction. From another Direction, the Snow Wolves were coming to see what the conflict was about. From the third direction, the Golden Rhino group was coming.

The families of all High Beast heirs were coming. The fireworks in the sky lasted for so long that they had attracted the beasts. Another Phoenix was coming, who was the mother of Amelia.

Lucifer looked all around him, frowning. He wanted to finish Lynx quickly, but everyone else was here too. Within a few minutes, they were about to reach the place. Could he still kill Lynx?

"Less thinking and more killing!" He stopped thinking and stopped flying. His body started falling down.

He further boosted his speed with the wind, controlling his direction.

The Thunder Lion had stabbed his sharp teeth in the neck of the Golden Rhino, who was trying to shake him off.

Lynx's eyes soon noticed Lucifer, who was coming towards him from the sky.

He related the neck of the Golden Rhino before roaring towards Lucifer, firing a powerful lightning bolt that again took the shape of the Lightning Lion that had clashed with Lucifer's lightning bolt previously.

Lucifer didn't stop this time though. He came crashing down. He also cast his barrier all around his body, at the same time donning the lightning Armor that he had learned to use.

Boom!

Lucifer hit the Lightning Lion, which exploded. Lightning flew everywhere, some being absorbed in Lucifer's body while the rest were harming him. His skin was burned because of the lightning, making his bones visible. His entire shirt had disappeared as well.

He came out of the lightning cloud, thrusting his Sword in the neck of Lynx before he landed on the ground, moving his sword with each movement.

Unlike Salazar, Lucifer wasn't hurt by the lightning that he could experience through the sword. He didn't need to free Lynx. Instead, he moved his Sword even deeper. Within a minute, he brought his sword out of the beast's neck, taking his head off.

Lynx's head dropped in the group, his eyes remaining open even as he died, unable to believe that he was killed by an outsider in his own city, while the High Beasts of this city supported him.

"Are you alright? I saw him trying to bite your neck off. I couldn't want you to die since you were only being fair here, unlike him. So to save your life, I had to take this extreme step!"

Ignoring Lynx, who was already dead now, Lucifer focused on Deon, trying to ignite some guilt and gratitude inside the heart of Deon while showing that he saved his life.

Deon came back to his real form, still stunned about Lynx's death. There were teeth marks on his neck that were still bleeding. He rubbed his neck.

He looked at Lucifer. "I don't know what happened here, but I can see that you helped me. Thank you so much. I might have been dead without you."

"Don't worry. I always help the righteous. You were just trying to protect your part of the city from a man who had actually gone crazy. He deserved it. You did nothing wrong. And don't worry, I'll take all the blame on me," Lucifer replied.
