Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 359 - 359: Facing The Beast

There was actually no other way to open the dead end except by breaking it. The same thing was done by the Hunter Union members. They broke the wall and went ahead. Just like before, the wall healed itself again.

Lucifer and his small team kept advancing ahead, not finding any Monster along the way, which made them believe they were on the right track.

Soon, the path split into three.

"One of them is the one taken by Hunter Union. I think we should once again split up to check which of these three paths still have monsters left," Alicia suggested as she started walking towards the first path.

" I’m taking the first one. I’ll meet you all back here in five minutes," she said before she entered.

"I’ll take the middle one. Yaliza, you take the last one. You’re fast enough to avoid any traps. The others can stay behind," Lucifer said before he flew inside the middle path.

"I’ll be right back. Don’t do anything in the meantime. Stay where you are," Yaliza reminded Cassius and Uzuki before his figure flickered. He also disappeared.

" Do they all think we’re kids that can’t take care of ourselves?" Uzuki commented before he walked towards the side.

"What’s the worst that can happen if we don’t stay in our place? I mean, come on! We’re powerful Warlocks too."

With his back facing the wall, he sat down.

"Ah, I think they might have been right," he suddenly said, sighing. "I really should stop raising red flags."

"What happened?" Cassius asked Uzuki, wondering what might have happened.

"I think I just sat on a trigger. If I stood up, some trap would activate," Uzuki answered, smiling wryly.

Cassius couldn’t help but rub the back of his head. "Just keep sitting there. Don’t stand up until Alicia comes back. We might need her barrier to protect you."

...

Lucifer had chosen the middle path. He was still advancing ahead, trying to see if there were any beasts here.

He couldn’t find any signs of battle, but similarly, he didn’t find any beasts either. So he couldn’t be sure if Hunter Union came here or not.

’Ah, there’s one!’ he thought as he soon noticed a two-headed wolf in the distance. The wolf was sitting in front of a Black Door as if to guard it.

Even though it had two heads and eight eyes, all of his eyes were closed as he seemed to be sleeping. Since Lucifer was flying, he hadn’t made any noise or footsteps either.

’Since a beast is here, I think Hunter Union didn’t select this path.’

Lucifer turned back to leave, but he soon stopped. He knew staying here was a waste of time, but he was really curious about that black door. He couldn’t help but wonder what was behind it.

The two-headed wolf seemed to be guarding it as it sat right in front of the door, even though it was sleeping.

There was something inside Lucifer that really wanted him to open the door. He wondered if it was his curiosity or just that urge to see what was behind the doors.

Ultimately, he decided to give it a try and check on the other end of the door.

He flew closer to the Two-Headed Wolf as he prepared to shoot a lightning bolt.

Getting in position, he fired not one but three lightning bolts one after another, all aimed at the Two-Headed Wolf.

The wolf abruptly opened his eyes as soon as Lucifer attacked as if it had a sixth sense.

Seeing the three lightning bolts coming towards him, the wolf jumped high in the air, dodging the attack.

The pitch-black lightning bolts hit the ground, leaving a deep crater in its wake. The wolf soon landed on the ground after successfully dodging the attacks

Awooo!

It glared at Lucifer while roaring in rage.

"I thought it would be easier," Lucifer muttered, taking off his gloves as a smirk formed on his lips. "But then again, this is more fun."

He kept the gloves in his pocket before he glanced back at the wolf.

Powerful winds started moving towards the Wolf in the distance, hiding hundreds of wind blades inside them.

All these wind blades attacked the Two-Headed Wolf at the same time, but they had no effect other than causing a few scratches.

Realizing how powerful the defense of this wolf was, Lucifer was surprised. His wind blades could cut a lot of things but not this wolf’s skin which was a bit too armored.

He raised his hand, deciding to attack with Black Lightning as that could destroy everything, no matter its defense, but the Wolf didn’t give Lucifer another chance as it attacked as well.

Awooo!

As the Two-Headed Wolf opened both its mouths, a blood-red beam of light came out of its first mouth, which could make a hole in even the hardest of metal with its heat.

From its other mouth, a freezing blue beam came, which was enough to freeze anything in its path.

Hastily, Lucifer dodged to the side as he fired more black lightning bolts while trying to close in on the Two-Headed Wolf.

The wolf didn’t stop attacking though. The beams he was using to attack didn’t stop for even a second. As the wolf’s eyes kept track of Lucifer, his mouth also moved, trying to hit Lucifer.

Even though the beams didn’t hit Lucifer, they were hitting the walls. While the first beam kept melting the walls, the second kept freezing them right after.

It was only when the wolf saw an attack coming towards it that it closed its mouth, jumping once again.

As the beams stopped, Lucifer found it easier to reach the wolf, which was distracted in dodging the intimidating lightning.

The Wolf soon noticed Lucifer getting awfully close to it. It opened its mouth again as it fired the two beams, but it was too late.

Making a strange maneuver in the air, Lucifer landed on top of the wolf, grabbing it by the neck.

His decay started acting, but he didn’t wait for it. Instead, he applied his full strength on both his hands to crush the neck of the Two-Headed Wolf.

In front of the strength of Lucifer, even the defense of the Wolf wasn’t enough. Its neck was crushed, making it drop to the ground as its lifeless eyes closed permanently.

Sitting near the beast, Lucifer placed his hand on the wolf as he started the process of decay.

In the meantime, he couldn’t help but look at the destruction this wolf had caused.

"Certainly a powerful beast. I wonder what it was guarding," he let out.

Finishing with the decay, he turned to look at the door.

He wore his gloves again before he pushed the massive black door.
