Inhuman Warlock
chapter-308

"I was hoping they would at least kill each other in this. They didn't even injure each other seriously. It looks like I'll have to interfere in it myself. It's not the time yet, but there's no other option."

Standing in the distance, Lucifer seemed disappointed as he looked at Raia and Varant.

"Cassius, you were right. They didn't kill each other. I'll try one more time. If I fail, just now that it's time for plan B. Get ready," he said in the earpiece.

"At least it did damage their forces. They can't collect themselves anymore. The battlefield is chaotic enough," he further said as he looked around.

Hundreds of Variants had been killed already, from each side. And more of them kept dying as time passes.

He took a deep breath as he spread out his arms.

The violet in his eyes became even more dominant at the moment. At the same time, the strange pattern which was on his back started shining brightly. The shine could also be seen through his shirt.

The entire city was still covered in dust and smoke, but the sky above had been completely clear. There wasn't even a single cloud in the sky, but that changed suddenly as clouds started appearing in the sky.

The clouds were pitch black. The dark clouds soon covered the entire sky, stopping the light from falling over the city. The city turned even darker.

"This is going to eat up a lot of my energy, but I hope it'll be worth it. Fortunately, the dust in the city will stop everyone from seeing the thunder. But the sound would still be a problem. First time trying limited attacks. Hopefully, it'll be worth it."

Lucifer was already determined to attack, but he was also slightly concerned since he hadn't used it before.

Every time he tried the Wrath of Heaven, he always used it in a large-scale area by making lots of lightning bolts fall.

But it was only now that he wanted to attack with only a few bolts, making sure to save his strength so he could attack more.

"We need to find that kid!" Raia told Varant as he started searching for Lucifer.

"You should've helped me kill him before instead of trying to use him. You're responsible for it!" Varant complained. "Let me try to find him."

Roar!

The two of them were just about to start searching when they stopped as they heard what seemed like the roar of clouds and the crackling of thunder.

"You know what it is, don't you?" Raia asked, frowning.

"The thunder from the sky... Son of Zale... It's the Wrath of Heaven, isn't it?" Varant asked. He looked up at the same time as Raia.

One powerful lightning bolt fell from the sky abruptly, falling where Lucifer wanted it to fall. It was falling straight towards the head of Varant.

"Good try," Varant scoffed as his figure flickered. He switched positions within the blink of an eye, dodging the attack.

One after another, bolts kept falling from the sky, targeting Varant. This confused Raia even more. Not a single bolt was targeting him.

This forced him to think if he had been wrong? Did he really overthink everything? Maybe Lucifer actually didn't want the two of them dead?

He was now having second thoughts.

' Maybe I was wrong. He didn't tell me about Veracity because he actually didn't have her in the city? It's also possible that she refused to help him, and he killed her back in her home just like he had killed Ayn? That could be why they didn't find Veracity there?'

He was starting to make up reasons in his mind to reach a specific conclusion to justify that he was wrong.

'APF thought that he took Veracity, but he probably didn't. As for those strange questions, maybe he was genuinely asking me. That should be it! If he actually knew that I helped in his father's death, he wouldn't have left me.'

' He would've gone crazy right there and tried to kill me. He didn't. I was wrong! He is on my side! I can still use him! I doubted him for no reason!' he thought, frowning.

He was a little embarrassed for being so wrong about something, but it also worked in his favor, he thought.

He believed his performance was so realistic since he was actually fooled that he certainly convinced Varant that he was with him.

As Varant appeared near Raia, dodging the thunder, Raia finally moved as he thrust his Sword towards the chest of Varant.

Varant was already busy, barely dodging the thunder that was falling from the sky when he had to face the sudden attack of Raia.

It was only now that he realized that Raia had fooled him.

He hastily dodged the attack of Raia, only to be struck by one of the three lightning bolts that had fallen from the sky.

"He did help. It looks like it worked," Lucifer muttered, smiling.

Raia didn't know, but there was a little bug planted on his clothes previously that was transmitting everything he said into the earpiece of Lucifer.

Lucifer was able to hear what Raia had said. He understood why Raia had stopped, and that gave him an idea. If even after all that he supported Raia, then Raia was surely going to feel that he was wrong. That's precisely what happened.

At the last moment, Raia betrayed Varant. Three lightning bolts fell from the sky, targeting Varant, who couldn't dodge entirely. The shoulder of Varant was hit by the bolt, which left a big hole in his chest.

Varant's face became pale as he felt the extreme pain of being hit by the lightning bolt. He felt as if his whole body was paralyzed as he dropped to the ground.

Lucifer stopped using the bolts as he landed on the ground near Raia.

"Are you alright?" He asked Raia.

"Y-yeah. Where is Alicia?" Raia asked in return.

"I sent her to help the others since I was enough to give you support. Anyway, it looks like we really did it, didn't we? The strongest warlock of APF is down. The war will soon be over," Lucifer told Raia as he continued walking towards Varant.

"That doesn't matter to me though. I got what I wanted. The opportunity to kill the murderer of my parents," he added as he stopped just a few inches away from Varant, who couldn't even move.

"How does it feel? To be in the feet of someone you easily crushed last time?" Lucifer asked Varant as he looked down.

He made sure to stay out of reach of Varant as he didn't want to be grabbed suddenly. But that didn't stop him from waving his hand.
