Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 65 - 65: Run

Lucifer raised his left hand in the direction of Tei.

A pitch-black lightning bolt left from his hand and moved towards Tei.

Lucifer didn’t wait to watch Tei die, though, instead he jumped back and used the wind to fly towards the woman that was his biggest obstacle. The same woman who was using her abilities to pull or push him previously.

His movement was his advantage, and if he wanted to keep it, he needed to take the woman out.

If that woman weren’t in his way, he wouldn’t have lost his hand. He wouldn’t have been hit by that blast.

Seeing Lucifer come towards her, the blue-eyed woman again raised her hand as her wet hair moved with the wind. Rain droplets kept sliding down her face.

Her entire focus remained on Lucifer. Even after seeing their Vice Guild Leader die, she didn’t give up. Instead, she decided to fight. She decided to fight for her friends and for her guildmates to protect them.

In her mind, she was fighting a criminal that killed viciously. She knew that if she hesitated now, countless people would die at the hands of this demon.

Lucifer was once again caught in her force manipulation. He couldn’t move forward.

The problem he had was his Wind Control. It was a pretty high-grade elemental ability that a person could Awaken. It was at least equal to or higher than the ability of the woman when it came to strength, but this was also Lucifer’s weakest element.

Lucifer had only learned to utilize it to the lowest extent. He wasn’t even able to control its full force to fly; otherwise, he might have been able to overcome her force with just his Wind Element alone.

As he was stuck in the middle of the force, the lightning bolt he had previously fired penetrated the skull of the Sword Master Tei, killing him instantly.

The cops and the other Hunters also started attacking Lucifer while keeping their distance. They didn’t want to make the same mistake as Elisi. They didn’t wish to let him get close.

Since Lucifer couldn’t move forth or back, he decided to move sideways since she couldn’t stop that.

He moved to the side in the direction of the Hunters that were attacking him from the left.

Raising his hand, he fired another black thunderbolt which moved in the direction of a white-bearded hunter.

Lucifer knew what he was doing and what happened was exactly as he planned. A sand shield appeared before the bearded man, protecting him from the thunder too.

But this was precisely what Lucifer wanted as he utilized the opportunity to attack the woman that was forcing him. He knew that the shield would save her again, and that’s what he wanted to do.

He felt like the man who used the sand shield was already at his limit, and forming two Sand Shields was probably the max he could achieve at once

A Sand Shield appeared before the woman as per his expectation.

"I’ll protect you!" The man said to the woman as he smiled. His forehead was sweating as his face turned pale, but he stood tall to protect the woman.

"T-thank you," the woman said as she smiled, but her smile changed to a horrified look as she saw a black lightning bolt pass through the man’s chest, leaving a big hole behind.

The man vomited out a mouthful of blood as he dropped to his knees. The light in his eyes started dimming as he fell, face first, onto the ground.

The woman left everything behind as she ran to the man, but before she could touch him, a lightning bolt penetrated her head as well.

She dropped over the body of the man, unifying in death.

Lucifer was freed from her force as he landed on the ground. The woman who was obstructing him was dead.

"Now there are no obstructions," Lucifer muttered as he looked at the man and the woman.

His plan had worked. His plan wasn’t to kill the woman but to kill the guy first. He made sure that the guy was overstressed with saving others so that he wouldn’t be capable of saving himself, unaware that Lucifer was targeting him.

This tag-team was like the worst combination against him. One kept him in his place, preventing him from getting close enough to use his S-Rank Strength or S-Rank Decay. The other person saved the first from his S-Rank thunder with his Sand Shield that was somewhat effective against his thunder which Lucifer hadn’t mastered even five percent yet.

After the man was dead, it became easy for Lucifer to kill the woman.

...

Black Lightning flickered all around Lucifer’s body. The sky was still covered in dark clouds. Flashes of blue lightning could be seen in the sky that seemed less frightening than the Black Lightning flashing around Lucifer.

Lucifer was free to kill but was getting annoyed too, as he was constantly being shot at.

The attack of hunters didn’t annoy him as much as the little bullets did since the bullets were much more in number.

With that in mind, he decided to kill the cops first.

He raised his left foot and smashed it on the ground. A deep crater was left behind as he used the momentum to help him fly ahead. He flew in the direction of the cops.

As no one in the group had the powers of the woman, they couldn’t stop him. The other Mages and Warriors only had offensive or defensive abilities. They didn’t have the crowd control abilities to stop him.

As for their offensive abilities, they were useless in front of Lucifer, who used his nimble movement to dodge most of the attacks. The attacks that managed to hit Lucifer were also not strong enough to force him down. The strongest of the Red Eagles were already dead.

Lucifer didn’t mind the pain as he was hit with flames, sand, wind blades, and many more powerful attacks. The pain was the least of his concern. He simply ignored the pain as he let the healing take care of it.

He reached Sergeant Trafford and instantly went for his neck.

He grabbed the neck of Sergeant Trafford, who continued shooting Lucifer’s chest, but nothing worked.

Sergeant Trafford knew that he wouldn’t live for long.

"Run away and call APF!" he gave his last command to his men before he turned to ash.

The battle was a lost cause. He knew they couldn’t win and told everyone to leave.
