Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 407 - 407: Opportunity

"What did Kellian say? Who attacked us?" Caen asked as Lucifer returned to them.

"He said that we weren’t the target of the attack. It’s just that our plane happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Lucifer answered.

"Any plane that enters this country’s airspace will be blown up," he further added.

"How will we get out then?" Caen asked. "If all planes are going to be blown up, how will we leave?"

"It’s nothing serious. We’ll just go to the people that blew up our plane and... convince them to let our plane land here," Lucifer replied.

"By convincing, you mean...?"

"Yeah. I’ll be going there. It can be a good opportunity to get some exercise," Lucifer explained. "Let’s find something to eat before leaving. Our next flight should be en-route soon. We need to take these people out before that."

"You’ll be going there? You mean alone?" Salazar asked, noticing the minute details of Lucifer’s words.

"Yeah. I’ll be entering that place alone. I’ll drop you off near that place so I can pick you up after I’m done," Lucifer explained as he started walking straight, searching for something to eat.

Salazar and Caen followed behind.

Caen knew he wasn’t of any use in a war. He wasn’t an explosive Warlock. Lucifer, on the other hand, was different, and so was Salazar. He didn’t insist on entering that place with Lucifer since he would’ve only been a commodity.

"Are there any Variants in that place?" Salazar asked Lucifer.

"There are a few from what I heard, but they aren’t too powerful, so nothing to be concerned about," Lucifer answered. "Their biggest strength is their military might."

"It’s the first time I’ll be facing an enemy that entirely depends on modern weapons. It should be fun," he further said, smiling. "It’ll be like a breath of fresh air after facing the Warlocks and the monsters."

"I think I should come with you too. It’s just modern weapons. They aren’t that powerful," Salazar responded, throwing his name ahead. He didn’t desire for Lucifer to go alone.

"Nope. As I said, I’m going alone. It’ll be faster for me alone since it’s pure destruction. You’re a specialist of taking our powerful enemies easily, and that’s good, but we aren’t focusing on powerful enemies," Lucifer replied, refusing again.

"This time, we would be fighting weak enemies that hide behind their high numbers and powerful weapons," he continued. "Taking you there would be a waste."

"I think he is right. From what I know about your powers, you won’t be of crucial use in this mission. You’re a powerful Warlock, but not in this case. By the time you finish a hundred people, Lucifer would have killed a thousand," Caen agreed with Lucifer.

"Just let him take the lead," he further added.

"Fine! Go alone then," Salazar let out, rolling his eyes. Even though he acted upset, he knew that he wasn’t needed on this mission. His powers weren’t for something like this.

"There it is!" Lucifer suddenly exclaimed as he flew straight ahead. His cloak flapped with the wind as Lucifer flew as fast as he could.

"What happened?" Caen grew confused, watched Lucifer fly in such urgency. He and Salazar started running behind Lucifer.

They soon caught up to Lucifer, who was standing straight. The body of the deer was lying on his feet.

Salazar and Caen stepped closer to him. As their feet landed on twigs and dry leaves on the ground, it created very subtle noises, but even that was enough to alert Lucifer.

"That takes care of the dinner," he said, turning around. "Do any of you have a lighter?"

"I don’t," Salazar replied.

"I don’t either," Caen also said.

"Sigh, fine. Go and get some wood and some stone. Let’s light the fire in the old style."

Caen left to collect some wood and soon returned. As for the stones, they were already there.

Lucifer arranged everything accordingly and lit the fire using the stones. The fire started burning on top of which the deer was cooked.

Within a short time, the deer was completely cooked for everyone to eat.

"I’m surprised you know how to light a fire like this," Salazar commented as he resumed eating.

"I didn’t know it at the start. But I learned it as I grew up. That reminds me... I wonder what happened to that girl...?"

Seeing Lucifer mention a lady, Salazar couldn’t help but ask, "Which lady? Some crush?"

" Not really. She was a girl who looked like my mother. She had helped me a little, even giving me her lighter so I could light a fire when cooking in the forest," Lucifer replied. "In a sense, she taught me that cooking the food was needed."

"She was one of the first few people that I met that were nice to me," he continued but stopped midway as he also remembered the couple who had fed him.

With one memory, many events returned. He also remembered how he had killed that couple because they wanted to have him arrested.

He also remembered how he killed that girl’s brother who helped him, all because he talked bad about his parents.

"I shouldn’t have killed that boy," Lucifer muttered. "Only breaking his hands should have been enough. I was really easy to upset in my younger days, too impulsive."

"You shouldn’t have killed who?" Salazar asked. "Which boy?"

"Nothing, it’s all in the past. Neither I nor anyone else can change my past. It’s what makes me who I am today," Lucifer let out, shaking his head.

He also started eating, stopping thinking about the past.

After everyone finished dinner, they all went to a pond nearby that was discovered by Caen when he was searching for wood. They all drank the water from the pond.

Lucifer let the others rest for half an hour. He also rested a little. Sitting with his back resting against the tree, he donned the glasses and started playing with them.

" Show me the map of Dalia," he commanded the glasses.

As per his commands, a map opened before him. Even though the map was shown on the screen of the sunglasses, for him, it seemed like a three-dimensional map had opened right before his eyes.

"Highlight my location on the map," he further commanded.

A red dot appeared in the northern part of the map.

"Highlight Akmod on the map," he further said.

A green dot appeared in the southern part of the map.

"Good.. Now minimize the map and keep in on the corner of my view," he further said.
