Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 789: I am weak

However, he didn't give it too much thought. It was possible that these people didn't consider the possibility of him waking up. They didn't leave any security measures behind for him.

Turning left, he started flying, prepared to kill anyone who tried to stop him from leaving.

Surprisingly, he couldn't find a single soul in the entire place. He easily left the building to land on the main street outside.

He could see humans walking back and forth.

"A lab in the civilian area?"

His long silver hair was messy, yet it didn't stop people from recognizing him.

Standing in the middle of the street, he watched people walk past him but slowly, the people started noticing him.

As more and more people recognized Lucifer, they realized who he was. Stunned and scared, they started taking steps back slowly.

Some of them tried to not look at him so as to avoid his gaze, while others were too shocked to realize that they were looking at him.

Watching their gaze, Lucifer was slightly surprised. These people looked like they recognized him.

"Oh, that's right. Just before the attack, the information about me was released. These people think I'm a murderer." Lucifer scoffed, understanding why these people were glaring at him.

He ignored these humans since these weren't of use to him.

"APF will get the news about me soon. They might be here for me. I can either wait for them or leave. I'll wait!"

He started walking back and forth, waiting for the enemies to get to him. He wanted to find Varant and kill that bastard for attacking him from the back.

If he was here, he believed he could see Varant. It was also safer for him since he could expect an attack here. If he left, he had to be alert all the time to make sure Varant didn't attack him sneakily like before.

Instead of having to watch his back all the time, he preferred to wait and get things done now that he had time.

As he was walking back and forth, he soon noticed his reflection in the glass windows behind him. As soon as his gaze fell on his reflection, he stopped in his tracks.

He placed his fingers and felt his face. The reflection did the same, proving that it was indeed his reflection.

"That's me?" Lucifer exclaimed, stunned at his looks. He looked older... much older than he remembered.

"Is this me? I look older? How long was I in this lab for? Was I in a coma?"

The questions in his head only multiplied, whereas the answers in his head were none. Moreover, he heard the growling of his stomach.

In the immediate rush after waking up, he didn't notice it, but his body was just now starting to catch up. He hadn't eaten anything for a long time, and his body was already out of energy.

The number of humans standing before him also increased as more and more people joined the group that was trying to see what Lucifer was doing.

For them, Lucifer was a scary Warlock, but he was also their leader, so they wondered if he was here for something important.

"I can't fight like this. I am weak... And this body... It's older. Too much time has passed and I don't know what happened in this time. It's not the time."

His body started floating in the air as he prepared to leave.

"Give my message to Varant! Tell him I will kill him!" Lucifer told the citizens before he flew away, disappearing into the distance.

The citizens looked at each other in confusion. What was Lucifer saying? Which Varant was he talking about? They only remember one person named Varant, and apparently, he was long dead as well. So which Varant did Lucifer want to kill?

The news about Lucifer's appearance in the city didn't reach Varant as he was dead, but it certainly reached Uprising. Kane was surprised as soon as he heard about Lucifer's presence in the city.

From what they knew, Lucifer was supposed to go straight to Triton to help the others. It was surprising to find him here in that case.

"Moreover, even as they tried to contact Lucifer after knowing where he was, they couldn't get any response. In fact, they weren't able to get through even on the new number that Lucifer gave them.

Kane wanted to give the information to Kellian, but Kellian was already busy fighting. Everything came on Kane's shoulders to detect Lucifer.

"Search entire Elisium. I want to know where Lucifer is," he commanded his men. "I hope he knows what's happening in Triton. He needs to know about Jian and how much he might be needed there."

He had a feeling that Lucifer's presence here might be because he wasn't planning to go to Elisium, probably because he underestimated the opposition like everyone else.

"When even I used to think that the opposition of the Uprising was weak before the revelation, it must be the same for Lucifer. He needs to know."

"Sir! We found him! He's in the same city where he was last seen!" A man's response came within a few minutes.

"Where is he? Show him on the screen."

"This feed is from a restaurant. Apparently, he has taken over the place, and he's asking them to feed him. He seems to be behaving a bit odd though."

"It's nothing to be surprised about. He always acts unorthodox when he's hungry. Get the restaurant on the line. I want to talk to them."

" Yes. sir."

The restaurant was called directly, however not a single person in the restaurant bothered to pick up the call. Lucifer was sitting before them, demanding food. They didn't have time to pick up a call, ignoring him.

The chefs started cooking their best dishes for Lucifer. On the other hand, the phone kept ringing, annoying Lucifer.

Seeing Lucifer look annoyed, a waiter ran to the landline and removed the wire to disconnect it entirely.

After disconnecting the landline, he turned to Lucifer, seemingly concerned about the reaction.

Fortunately, Lucifer didn't even stand up. Instead, Lucifer was looking out the window, observing the bustling city.

"Which year is it?" he asked the waiter.

"It's 2056." The waiter stepped closer to Lucifer respectfully.

"So eight years... It has been eight long years. The city still looked the same though. Everyone is going about doing their jobs. All the buildings look the same. It's like only I've changed in this city."

"Does the APF and Uprising still fight regularly?" Lucifer asked. "Varant must've been stronger now. What about Raia?"

"APF?" the waiter asked, stunned. He couldn't understand why Lucifer was talking like an idiot. Was he testing him?
