Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 829: Safe

After gently kissing her on her neck, Lucifer moved back, glancing into the deep eyes of Milena. It was as if he was conveying many things with his eyes.

However, his few words were enough for Milena to understand that he wasn't serious about working with them. Was he playing them?

This time, Milena did the same, bringing her lips closer to the ears of Lucifer, biting his lips gently, whispering. "So we're really going to kill him?"

"You won't leave me, right?" Lucifer asked, slightly nodding. "I know it might be hard for you to forget the deaths of our men, but we need to get over it. They are gone."

"Revenge can't bring them back. Instead, we can use their sacrifices for a bridge that will bring the two organizations together to make a new future. There has been enough bloodshed already! Moreover, I'm not an Envoy of Star Alliance for earth. I can't be the one bringing destruction to Earth," Lucifer exclaimed, sighing.

As he was talking in his usual tone, Milena understood that he was making sure that the cameras heard him. However, there was still an uncertainty in her heart if these were his serious words.

"Now drop the plan of going away from me. We will be leaving for the Dungeon soon. Get as much rest as you can. We might not get time for rest after this."

Lucifer's fingers grazed Milena's cheeks as he walked back to the chair. He had said all he wanted to say. He believed Milena could understand after this much, at least.

Lucifer walked back to the sofa. Folding his arms, he sat down with his eyes closed. There was a lot for him to think about, regarding the Star Alliance and how they involved him in their mess without him knowing.

Milena also walked back to the sofa and sat beside him. She had questions of her own, but for now, she let them go. She simply observed the calm face of Lucifer.

Three hours later~

Lucifer opened his eyes, hearing the knock on the door. "It must be Jian.."

He knew that Jian was eager to go to the Dungeon since he was expecting answers to his question soon after that. In fact, he was even more eager than Lucifer.

Just as Lucifer had expected, as soon as he opened the door, he was able to see Jian standing outside the room.

"Everything is prepared. We can leave at any time," Jian informed Lucifer. He was also dressed in different attire.

Jian was now wearing a long robe which had a Warlock Council insignia on it, just like Lucifer had the robe with Star Alliance insignia.

"Milena, let's go. Everything is ready. It's time we leave!"

Hearing the shout of Lucifer, Milena woke up from her sleep. She hadn't even realized when she had fallen asleep. Standing up, she walked to Lucifer, leaving the room with him.

Lucifer and Milena followed Jian, who was all alone.

"Anyone else from your side coming with us?" Lucifer asked.

"No. I can't afford to bring anyone. As you all killed most of my men, I'm only left with a few. If I let them come with me, who will take care of the base? So I'm going alone," Jian explained, reminding Lucifer of his own decision to leave alone in the past.

When he did that, he didn't know that by the time he returned, everything was going to be different. However, he also found it amusing. Jian was also doing the same thing here, and the outcome was going to be different yet similar.

If only he had more men here, he could've planned to take advantage of the situation, but he only had Milena, who was coming with him. He couldn't do many things.

This time he needed to handle everything alone, and that was what he was going to do after clearing the Dungeon.

Getting to the roof, Lucifer noticed a chopper was already waiting for them.

"It'll take us to the airport, and from there, we'll go to Elisium," Jian described, stepping inside the helicopter.

Lucifer and Milena also stepped inside. If someone would've seen all three like that, they couldn't have imagined that the three were enemies who wanted to kill each other until a few hours ago. And now they were traveling together, talking as if nothing had happened.

Milena still looked like she was out of it, but Lucifer was playing his part so perfectly that even Jian was surprised. If he hadn't known better, he would've thought that Lucifer truly forgot about the past.

Their conversation wasn't only limited to the mission ahead. They even talked about things regarding the status of Elisium.

Lucifer didn't know what had happened to Elisium. He had only assumed that everyone there was gone by now as well. However, hearing Jian mention the lack of members, Lucifer felt like there was a possibility that these people hadn't attacked Elisium.

He directly asked if these people attacked or not. The reply came as a good news to Lucifer since Jian confessed that he hadn't sent anyone to Elisium yet. He was still trying to handle the other things in Zeston.

"Even though I didn't go to Elisium in the last five days, I was planning to go there in the near future as there was a possibility of you being there. However, you came here before I even needed to go. And now we're working together, so I feel no need to destroy Elisium."

"Instead, I'll help you rebuild the Uprising while I rebuild the Warlock Council. This time, instead of being enemies, the two organizations will work together," Jian explained, flashing a bright smile.

Since he was going to kill Lucifer after getting his answers, it didn't matter how tall promises he made. It wasn't as if he needed to fulfill them after Lucifer was gone.

Moreover, even though Lucifer had healing, he was still more prone to death than Jian, who was impossible to be killed. He didn't even think about the possibility of losing.

There were a lot of things that Lucifer came to know which made him slightly happy. Not all Uprising members were dead. Kellian had managed to escape, and everyone in Elisium was probably alive as well. Even in such massive losses, he was getting some good news.

....

As Lucifer and Jian had just left the Warlock Council base to get to the Dungeon, there was another Lucifer who was already standing before the same Dungeon, right at the entrance.

Clenching his fist, the other Lucifer stepped inside the Dungeon, not knowing what laid ahead.
