Inhuman Warlock

Why isn't he picking up? Something is definitely wrong! Get us back faster!" Xander said impatiently as his call to Flourance went unanswered.

"We are going as fast as we can. Calm down. Everything should be fine. Flourance knows his stuff," the man sitting near Xander comforted him since there was nothing else they could do at this point.

...

Lucifer stood in the middle of Florence and his men, feeling like it was definitely a trap that the men weren't attacking as if they were waiting for him.

Without taking any longer to contemplate, he came to a decision, which was to attack the place that was less suspicious to him. He decided to attack Flourance.

The Rain had started slowing down, but a light shower was still present there in the chilling atmosphere, creating a peaceful melody as water droplets fell on water that was collected on the streets.

Nevertheless, this serene atmosphere was tainted by the strange silence from everyone present there, as if it was the silence before the storm.

Lucifer collected his strength in his right feet. He raised his feet and smashed it on the ground as he propelled him forward using brute force, which was amplified by the power of wind which he used for his advantage even at a moment like this.

Despite the puddle of water on the ground trying to soften the impact, the force was still powerful enough to leave a crater behind in his wake.

"He's attacking the Vice Captain!"

"Stop him!"

Two of the Delta Squad members started running towards Lucifer, who was going farther from them, in the direction of Flourance.

The two of them had only taken a step in his direction, but they stopped as a bulky man appeared in front of the two of them.

"Stop! Are the two of you idiots? If you had taken a few more steps, you would have stepped on Spot 0! Everything would have been for naught then!" the bulky man said as he squinted his eyes.

"We are on the wrong side of the field. We can't go to him. Instead, we need to bring that stupid kid to us! Didn't you listen to the Vice Captain's commands?" He continued.

"That's right! Everyone! Long-range attacks only. Mark, Lei, the two of you are short-range warriors! You can go fight to not make him suspicious but go from the side and fall back as soon as he starts chasing," Another person commanded.

The two agreed as they moved from the corners of the streets to make sure that they didn't step on the forbidden spot accidentally.

Lucifer was flying towards Flourance when he felt a sense of danger. The lightning inside his body was reacting fiercely, flickering around his entire body.

He didn't take his eyes away from his target Flourance who was simply standing there, but he did change his movement.

Instead of flying straight towards Flourance, he started moving in zig-zag to dodge the attacks that might come from behind.

Raising his right hand, he fired a lightning bolt, simultaneously diverting his attention between attacking and movement while using two powers at the same time.

At the moment, he was only capable of using two powers simultaneously while having a hard time trying to control three abilities at once.

He shot out the lightning bolt that zapped towards Flourance, who was simply standing there with his arms folded.

As the Lightning Bolt got near Flourance, it passed through his body, not harming him in the least.

Even Lucifer was stunned as to what was happening. It didn't seem like Flourance dodged. The attack simply passed through him.

A lightning bolt came from the back and hit Lucifer at the same time.

"Hmm?"

It seemed as if he got his energy replenished instead of getting hurt. He looked back, curious.

As soon as he turned back, another lightning bolt landed on him, this time straight on his chest. The result was the same, though. Instead of harming him, it replenished the energy that he spent in battle, making him feel even more refreshed.

"Blue lightning bolts replenish my energy? I did know that lightning doesn't harm me after I awakened the Black Lightning, but this as well? There's so much I don't know about my powers."

He gazed at the Delta Squad Members, soon recognizing their lightning user.

"What the hell? I know my lightning is only a B-Rank Power, but how can it not harm him even a little. He didn't even have a pained expression?" The Lightning user of Delta Squad, Ben, fretted.

"It might have something to do with the fact that he is also a Lightning User? The Black Lightning is an S-Rank Power that contributed a lot to Master Zale Azarel being the strongest Warlock."

" Even though the kid is young and can't bring out even a fraction of the power that Master Zale showed, his body still contains S-Rank Black Lightning. It's understandable that your low-level lightning doesn't hurt him," Another Variant answered after observing the situation.

"So I am useless in this battle," Ben sighed as he lowered his head and stopped attacking in embarrassment. Only the other members kept attacking.

"Sigh. He stopped attacking. I would have let him hit me if he was still attacking," Lucifer muttered expressionlessly as he continued dodging the rest of the attacks.

"Let's deal with you first," he let out as he turned back towards Flourance, only to be stunned as he found that spot empty.

He heard a voice from behind him as if someone was whispering in his ears. "That's what happens when you take your eyes off your enemy. Lesson number one, never take your eyes off the enemy."

Before he could turn back, a hand grabbed his neck from the back, raising him in the air before smashing him on the ground. Lucifer's face was the first to hit the ground as his nose broke and started bleeding.

"A kid will always be naive. I might as well take you with force. I can't understand why Xander is so worried about you. You might have some strength and unorthodox powers, but you don't have any proper battle experience."
