Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 318 - 318: Identity

"I’m taking the Base under my control as I’m the one with the highest authority now! Step aside!" Ayn said, seemingly emotional.

"She’s telling the truth. Let her go in and talk to Mark," Jake also said the same thing, supporting her claims. He didn’t know all he believed was a lie.

"Alright. Go in," the guards stepped aside, letting her pass.

Ayn pushed the door of the Defence Room and entered inside.

"What are you doing here?" Mark asked as he turned to look at Ayn.

"I’m here to save you all. Please forgive me for this," Ayn weakly said as she looked down.

"What are you saying?" Mark asked, frowning. He didn’t understand what Ayn was implying. "Why are you apologizing?"

"I’m apologizing for this," Ayn grimly said as she raised her hands abruptly.

The entire room turned cold as her hands moved, but that wasn’t the worst of it. The worst was that all the APF members in the room were frozen in Ice Slabs.

She had just used her powers as it was planned. Lucifer had actually stopped the Limiter momentarily, just like the teachers in the academy used to do before tests.

"I’m really sorry. But you won’t die there. I made sure of that. I know what I’m doing is bad, but it’s the only path I have to save you all," Ayn said, sighing.

She picked up her phone and called the number of Kellian that she had memorized. "The path is clear. You can come."

"Perfect," Kellian commented as he got ready to depart towards the base.

As everyone in the Defence Squad was frozen, not a single person could control the defenses now. All the defenses were down as most of it was manually controlled from this place.

Taking a deep breath, Ayn left the Defense Room and walked back towards the cell where she had kept Lucifer.

She soon reached the cell of Lucifer.

Using the keys, she opened the door, freeing Lucifer.

Lucifer was sitting on the bed with his head down when he heard the sound of the door opening. He raised his head to reveal a smile.

Patting his head, Lucifer stood up. "Is it done?"

"I did my part. All the defenses are down," Ayn answered. "Now, you need to keep your promise."

"As long as your men don’t oppose me, I will. Let’s see how it goes," Lucifer said, stepping out of the cell. "Where’s the broadcast system? Something which can help me get my voice to every corner of this facility?"

"Follow me," Ayn said, taking a deep breath.

Lucifer followed after Ayn, but at the same time, he glanced at the other cells, wondering who the people kept there were.

Ayn brought Lucifer to a room which had a mic that could transmit his voice everywhere in the base.

"As soon as you turn that switch on, it’ll start broadcasting your voice," she informed Lucifer as she pointed towards the switch.

...

The Variant Uprising members landed on the top of the APF headquarters.

As there was no one who could keep an eye on what was happening here, no guards were sent to the roof to intercept them.

Kellian and the other Uprising members stepped out of the helicopter, landing on the place where they always wanted to. The headquarters of their enemy.

"It was easier than I expected. The new leader isn’t bad. His plan really helped make things easier here."

"That’s right. I think he really isn’t bad. Instead of using brute force, he used his brain, and now we’re standing in a place we wouldn’t have even thought to be standing otherwise. This will mark the end of APF."

Seeing them so close to success and that too, so easily, the Uprising members were really surprised and pleased.

This made them appreciate Lucifer. Despite being so young, he was so good. He was not only strong but clever as well.

Ignoring the idle chatter, Kellian picked up a phone and called the number of Ayn.

"It’s Kellian," Ayn said as she handed the phone to Lucifer.

"Yeah. Are you in position?" Lucifer asked as he placed the phone near his ears.

"We are on the roof," Kellian replied.

"Stay there. I’m sending Ayn to fetch you," Lucifer told Kellian before he disconnected the call.

"They’re on the roof. Escort them inside. In the meantime, I’ll handle the rest," he told Ayn as he sat on the chair.

"Remember your promise!" Ayn reminded Lucifer one last time as she left.

As Ayn left, Lucifer was left alone in the room. He sat on the spinning chair, looking up.

As the chair spun, he could also see the roof spinning.

"One step closer...." Lucifer muttered as he sighed. "It’s more tiring than I thought. But I can’t stop. Elisium is only the beginning."

He placed his feet on the ground, slowing down the spin.

He reached out his hand towards the switch, ready to turn it on as he prepared to speak.

....

Ayn reached the roof and sent the Uprising Members down, using the lift.

As there were more people than the limit of the lift, she stayed out and kept using her fingerprint to send all the members to the lower floors.

After all the other members were gone, it was finally the turn of Kellian, Yaliza, Alicia, and Vega. They all entered the lift with Ayn.

A few members also remained on the roof to make sure no one escaped from there.

None of them said anything.

"Greetings everyone!"

The lift was going down when everyone heard a voice.

"It’s him," Alicia commented.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lucifer Azarel. The kid who was hunted like a dog by you all. But I also have another identity..." Lucifer said.

His voice reached every corner of the APF headquarters. The few members of APF that were in the base all heard it. They couldn’t understand what was happening.

The voice also reached the medical facility where Xander was staying. He wanted to go and help Varant, but he couldn’t because he wasn’t able to walk properly even now. All he could do was stumble.

As he heard the voice, he found it somewhere familiar initially, but when Lucifer told his identity, it was clear to him who it was.

"What’s that guy doing here? Could it be that he managed to infiltrate the base?" He muttered as he tried to stand up.

"You can’t stand up! Stay sitting!" The doctor once again stopped him. "Instead of blindly rushing in, you should first see what’s the situation! Hear what he has to say!"
