Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 327 - 327: Step Aside Kiddo

"So it is indeed you. You’re alive even after being caught by Varant; I’m surprised. It seems like you’re really immortal," Caen said weakly as he stood up.

As he stood up, Lucifer could see the pain on Caen’s face.

"Are you in pain?" Lucifer inquired.

"Well, what do you think? It’s only been a few months since Varant broke my bones last time. That bastard really loves screwing with me. But I’m almost fine now," Caen answered, smiling. "What are you doing here though? Did you break inside?"

"That’s right. Variant Uprising has taken over the APF headquarters. You’re free. Come with us. We’ll take you to the medical facility."

"Uprising has taken over?! How? What about Varant and all the APF Warlocks?" Caen asked, stunned.

"They’re all dead as well, including Varant," Lucifer informed him.

"Huh? Are you really telling the truth? Raia actually managed to kill him?" Caen asked in disbelief. "Where is Raia now?"

"Raia is dead. And it was I who killed Varant," Lucifer answered. "A lot of things have changed. Come, I’ll tell you everything."

...

"What do you mean you’re the Uprising leader now?"

It was the biggest shock of his life as Caen heard the news. Lucifer was actually the big boss now?

"That’s right. Kellian and Yaliza are upstairs too. They can explain everything in more detail," Lucifer let out as he stopped in front of the last door.

It was the fifth door and the last cell in this place that they hadn’t checked.

Lucifer kicked the door, breaking the metallic door which crashed on the wall inside the cell.

He entered the cell to see a man doing pushups on the ground.

Seeing Lucifer enter, the man stopped as he looked at Lucifer.

There seemed to be fear in his eyes.

"W-who are you all?" The man asked, seemingly scared.

Lucifer observed the man from top to bottom. The man was dressed in white prisoner clothes. He had short dark hair and beautiful hazel eyes.

His perfectly chiseled face made him look particularly handsome, but the fear on his face was something obvious.

"Do you know who he is?" Lucifer asked Caen.

Caen shook his head. "I have no idea, but for him to be kept here, he should be an important prisoner who Varant didn’t want the world to know about."

"Who are you?" Lucifer asked the young man, who seemed to be in his early twenties.

"I-i am Uzuki," the man answered, stuttering.

"Did you kill people?" Lucifer inquired.

"I haven’t even killed a single fly," the man answered, sighing. " I don’t even know why I’m here. I just came here from the Nation of Zeston. I just wanted to sew different nations."

"Why are you in prison then? Something doesn’t add up," Lucifer replied, frowning.

"What can I say? Even I don’t know why I’m here. I was in a bar, drinking. Suddenly everything turned dark. The next thing I knew was that I was here. I kept telling them that I’m innocent, but no one listened," Uzuki replied.

He seemed like an innocent man from a decent family that would never dare to commit a crime.

"Strange. Even though they are bad, I don’t think they’ll capture someone for drinking? What are you not telling us?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"I’m telling you. This is the truth. Please tell your seniors to free me. Even though I don’t have anyone waiting for me back home, I still can’t stay here. I’m innocent!" Uzuki insisted firmly.

"Fine. Give me the name of the bar where you were drinking and the date," Lucifer said, giving this man the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was actually telling the truth. At least that’s what it seemed like from the way he talked.

"It was Sky Bar. As for the date, I believe it was the seventh, exactly two months ago," Uzuki answered.

Bringing his phone out, Lucifer called Vega.

"Can you find me if something happened in Sky Bar about two months ago on the seventh?"

"Ah, I remember that. I don’t even need to find out about it. There was slaughter in that place. Apparently a Variant had killed fifty gang members there. In the end, Varant had captured that man," Vega told Lucifer as he remembered about this event.

"The footage of that event wasn’t released to the public, but I managed to get one. But why are you asking about it?" he inquired.

Lucifer glanced at Uzuki as he heard the explanation. Uzuki still looked innocent.

"Alright. I’ll keep that footage ready. I’ll see later," Lucifer said as he kept the phone down.

"So you didn’t do anything, and you didn’t kill anyone," Lucifer repeated, staring at Uzuki.

"Absolutely not. I was drinking when everything went dark like it often does. Then I woke up here," Uzuki answered again.

"Like it often does?" Lucifer inquired, noticing something odd.

Nodding, Uzuki started explaining.

"Yeah. I don’t know what it’s with me, but there are times when everything goes dark. Most of the time, it happens; I wake up on my bed. I tried consulting doctors."

"In fact, it even happened when I was sitting before them. Everything went blank. When I came to my senses, the doctors told me I have a condition. They said I have a Narcolepsy Variation."

"Narcolepsy Variation?" Lucifer inquired.

"That’s right. They said that everything turns blank because I suddenly fall asleep because of my Narcolepsy. And I wake up in a different place because I sleepwalk to my bed when I’m sleeping," Uzuki answered.

"I tried showing many doctors, but they all said the same thing and that I don’t need to worry about it as I’ll keep safely reaching my bed. But unlike previous times, I woke up in this cell this time for some reason. And I was imprisoned. Please tell you seniors to free me!" he pleaded.

"I think I understand a few things. You don’t have Narcolepsy. Instead, it’s Sp-"

"Kid, don’t try to be a doctor!" A gruff voice suddenly filled the room.

A smirk formed on Lucifer’s face as he heard the voice.

"I was right, it seems. It’s not a Narcolepsy Variation but a Split Personality Disorder," he said as he observed Uzuki.

This time, Uzuki was looking different. Unlike a scared human, he looked like a proud Warlock now. His aura was powerful too. It was clear that he wasn’t a weak Warlock.

"That trash Varant isn’t here this time? That’s good as well. I can leave this place," Uzuki said, grinning. "Step aside, kiddo. Don’t make me hurt you."

"Don’t make you hurt me, huh," Lucifer repeated, amused.
