Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 310 - 310: Taking Over

Lucifer found an empty place and placed Alicia on the ground.

"Time to end it all." He muttered as his body started rising in the air.

He flew fifty meters above the ground. The thunder was still crackling in the sky as the clouds roared.

Lucifer looked all around the city as if trying to memorize where everyone was.

It seemed like most of the Variants were dead. The number of the ones that remained alive so far were only in the tens. Not even a hundred Variants from each side were alive for now.

Lucifer could also see that Tristan had already killed Gensi. Yaliza and Kellian were also at an advantage for now against enemies.

From such height, Lucifer could see the entire field.

"It’s time to deal the finishing blow. Hopefully, I’ll manage to take them all out at once," he softly said. "This would take a heavy toll on me. I’ll have to bear with it."

He was once again going to use the Wrath of Heaven but this time on a large scale.

As Lucifer prepared to use the Wrath on such a large scale, the clouds also returned the favor in the form of rain.

An intense rainstorm had begun, which was making the dust settle down, bringing back the visibility to the remains of this town.

The battle of both sides continued even in such rain.

The crackling of thunder intensified as Lucifer prepared to pour all his energy into this attack. Fortunately, he had just used the decay on Raia, which had made him energized again.

Boom!

Tens of lightning bolts abruptly fell from the sky, falling over the Variants of APF. In the crossfire and because of close range, even some of the Variant Uprising members were killed, but it didn’t matter in the bigger scheme of things.

What mattered was that all the APF Variants were dead, struck by lightning.

The chaotic field suddenly turned calm as all the attacks stopped. The enemies were already dead, after all. The only ones who remained were the strongest of the strong in Variant Uprising.

They all knew who this attack belonged to. They couldn’t help but look towards the sky to see a figure flying above them.

The figure of the silver-haired boy even seemed divine to some, giving them chills. A single person had killed all the strongest Variants of APF.

"Variant Uprising members! Listen to me!" Lucifer roared loudly, making sure his voice reached everyone.

As for the roaring clouds, they were suddenly silent as if supporting Lucifer by giving him silence.

His voice seemed to be reaching everyone’s ears despite the rain. They all looked at him, wondering what he was going to say.

Even Kellian and Yaliza looked up.

"Raia has been killed by Varant! He is dead! But Varant has also been killed by me, along with the remnants of APF! The War is over! But that’s only for now! We still have some people who will be a thorn in our path, like the Hunter Union! We can’t rest assured! We still need to give our best!"

"And you also need a leader to continue the Uprising now that Raia is gone! That’s why I’m taking over the Variant Uprising as your new leader! If anyone doesn’t accept it and think they are more worthy to lead, you can come and challenge me!"

"But just know, I’m undying. So only come forward if you’re really determined! If no one comes forward, it means you all accept me as your leader!"

Lucifer’s voice reached far and wide, falling in everyone’s ears. There were some who didn’t like that a youngster was going to lead them, but it also seemed like he was really capable. He had killed Varant!

Moreover, it wasn’t like they could kill Lucifer as he was undying, which was the biggest problem. In any case, no one was interested in leadership. Most of them looked at Kellian, wondering what he was going to do.

If anyone was in the lead to become the leader after Raia, it was him. Everyone wondered if Kellian was going to challenge Lucifer or not.

"I’m amazed that the kid actually wants to take over, but I’m also impressed because of that. Anyway, do you want to give it a try?" Tristan asked Kellian.

His body was still in pain because of his left arm being severed, but the bleeding had stopped with the help of Kellian.

Moreover, there was also a possibility of his hand being healed and for it to be reattached. So he was still carrying his detached arm.

Kellian looked up at Lucifer. The raindrops kept falling on his face but he didn’t mind them. Instead, he observed Lucifer standing in the air.

"I won’t challenge him. If there’s someone who is worthy of this position, it’s a Warlock King and even Raia believed that Lucifer is the only one capable of reaching that level. He might not be worthy of this position at the moment, but he certainly deserves it," Kellian answered, shaking his head.

"I won’t challenge him. Instead, I’ll support him. Even I want to see how far he can grow. Let’s wait," he further added.

"Meh, fine then. I guess he’ll lead. Man, it’s still funny that a kid who isn’t even allowed to drink legally can soon rule the nation. Do you really think it’s good?" Tristan asked.

"We can certainly advise him on things that he doesn’t know. I think he’ll do just fine. In any case, that’s the guy who killed Varant after all. I doubt anyone would question his abilities," Kellian responded.

" Moreover, we need him to help us in taking out the Hunter Union. We have suffered massive losses, and there’s still a long path to tread," he further added as he smiled.

"I, Kellian, accept the proposal as the Vice-Captain of Variant Uprising! Since he killed Varant, he deserves this position. From today, he will lead the Uprising with the support from us!" Kellian declared out loud.

The biggest credential in Lucifer’s favor was the fact that he had killed Varant. No one knew if he was actually telling the truth, but they chose to believe it.

Standing in the air, Lucifer was slightly surprised at how fast this was accepted. He had expected some resistance, but that didn’t seem to be the case. There was no resistance, and Kellian accepted it right away.

After Kellian’s acceptance, no one else questioned it either. He had the highest position after Raia, after all. Moreover, it wasn’t as if Lucifer was someone weak. And thus, it was accepted.

Yaliza was the only other person who could oppose now.
