Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 510 - 510: Alive

Lucifer sat in the middle of the battlefield outside the city in silence, trying to see if he could retract the wings.

It had already been twenty minutes since he arrived here, and he appeared to be gaining some control over the wings. He was able to control and move them. Moreover, he could also make the wings disappear now, retracting them.

It was only after he retracted the wings that he sighed a breath of relief.

"Finally," he muttered, sighing a breath of relief.

He stood up, stretching his arms. "Fortunately, it was controllable."

He brought the gloves out of his pocket and wore them before donning his cloak again. Since the shirt was already destroyed, he hadn't taken it when he flew here, which made it such that he wasn't wearing any shirt inside the clock.

He didn't close the cloak either, letting his chest remain visible to some extent.

"Now, what shall I do with them all?"

He looked at all the headless Warlocks that were a part of his army now because of the parasite. Even though they all looked ugly, he didn't want to waste them.

The strength of theirs was very good indeed, especially Drake's, whose barrier was the most powerful one he had seen.

As he stared at the bodies, an idea popped in his head while a devilish smirk crept up his lips.

Taking small steps, he walked towards Drake while also commanding him to come closer to him. The distance between the two of them kept decreasing until there was only half a meter of distance left between them.

Lucifer took off his left hand glove.

"Since you're already dead, I suppose you won't blame me," he muttered as he stabbed his right hand in the chest of Drake.

He grabbed the heart of Drake and pulled it out. Drake still didn't fall on the ground, even though his heart was taken out.

Lucifer grabbed the arms of Drake, letting his decay take effect. Drake's body was destroyed, leaving nothing behind. Even the parasite which was inside his body was destroyed.

"Let's see if it works. If it does work as intended, I shall have a lengthy feast," Lucifer let out as he glanced at all the undead Warlocks behind him.

He followed the same procedure as he did with Andreas and stabbed his stomach with his hand before inserting the heart inside his body with his right hand.

As the heart reached inside his body, he used his left hand to grasp it, decaying it inside his body.

Within seconds, the heart and whatever remained of Drake were completely destroyed.

Lucifer felt a different kind of strength inside his body. To test his theory, he tried casting the blue barrier that Drake used.

"Hmm? It's not working? I failed?"

"That's strange. Is it because he was dead for a long time?"

The barrier didn't work, even after he tried multiple times, making him think that the bodies had some problem.

"It would be a big waste in that case," he commented, frowning.

He had planned to take the powers of all the Warlocks, but it didn't work. The only conclusion he could come up with was that it was because the bodies were dead for a longer time.

"Do I really have no easier option than to carry all this weight in their current form to Elisium? Nah, other than Drake, none of them is particularly exceptional. It would be better to turn fresh enemies in wars."

He was already disappointed that he wasted Drake. If he was to take one undead with him who he considered worthy, it was going to be Drake. Unfortunately, he destroyed the body of Drake, thinking he could take his powers.

As for the rest, he didn't find them worthy to come with him on flights back to Elisium. It wasn't a good look, and it wasn't worth it either.

He decided to destroy the undead that were left.

"At least they can be good for target practice."

He raised his right hand towards the Warlock, who was standing the farthest.

"What? I can't fire lightning either? What's happening?"

He wanted to fire lightning from his hands and not from the sky, but nothing happened. For some reason, it didn't work.

He tried again, but it still didn't work. Next, he tried using lightning from the sky, and that worked as intended.?A lightning bolt fell on the undead Warlock, destroying most of his body.

"I don't get it. This works, but that doesn't?"

"Decay works too. Then why is lightning misbehaving?"

He tried testing his other powers just to be sure.

He was still able to turn his hands to claws. He could still fly, but he couldn't use wind blades in close proximity. He also tried casting the barrier that he had received from a Dungeon Dweller, but that didn't work either.

"This... This looks awfully lot like energy negation? It's as if I'm inside a barrier and can't use those attacks in its range?"

Frowning, he flew up.

After he reached a certain height, he tried again, but this time he was able to use the lightning perfectly fine.

"As expected. This was an Energy Negation Domain! But how could it be? Andreas stole the powers of Yasmine, and he's dead. After his death, no one should be able to use Energy Negation since it should return to its original owner, who is dea-"

"Ahh, so that's it! She is still alive, despite being swallowed by the ground. It must be the work of a Warlock."

He looked down at the ground, assured that Yasmine was trapped inside, but he couldn't get her out. He could break the ground, use lightning to attack the ground to make an opening, but he didn't.

He didn't know where she was. It could hurt and kill Yasmine too.

Even though he wanted to help Yasmine and it wasn't good news, his eyes suddenly lit up in excitement.

"Wait, if that place is under the effect of Energy Negation, does that mean Drake's barrier didn't work because of that?"

He wanted Drake's powers at any cost. He was highly disappointed that he couldn't get that, but now there was a possibility that it was all because of the Energy Negation?

He once again raised his hand and tried casting a barrier.

This time, the barrier appeared as normal. Moreover, it was exactly the same as the barrier of Drake, which brought a smile to Lucifer's lips.

"Just perfect!"

He commanded all the undead to attack the barrier to test his strength.. According to his commands, all the Undead started attacking at the same time.
