Inhuman Warlock
chapter-355

As Warlock King Salazar Lucia decided to travel to the Capital City, Lucifer had made a plan of his own which was to enter the Dungeon.

The whole world believed their story that Zeiss was dead, and he wanted to make that a truth.

It was going to be his first trip inside a dungeon which was going to be inside one of the hardest Level 3 Dungeon in the Elisium.

As Kellian was preparing for the departure, Lucifer went to take a shower.

Getting out, he again dressed in his battle gear, prepared to leave.

The helicopters were waiting for them on the roof, as per his commands. Uzuki and Cassius were also prepared to leave. Alicia had also gotten up by now. She got dressed as well, prepared to leave.

"I still think I should come with you. Others can handle the meeting with Guild Leaders, right?"

"Kellian, we already talked about this. We don't need any more people. The few of us should be enough for what we're about to do. So don't worry," Lucifer replied to Kellian. "Where is our guide, by the way?"

"She will be your guide," Kellian pointed towards a red-haired girl who was standing behind them.

" Alicia?" Lucifer asked, surprised.

s

"That's right. I don't think you can find a better guide than her. She has learned a lot about the Dungeons, even more than the leaders of some Guilds, I suppose," Kellian explained. "She is the best candidate. With her around, you won't need another guide."

"Are you sure she will be able to?" Lucifer asked.

"I'm confident," Kellian responded.

After finishing the short conversation, Lucifer didn't ask anything more. Since Kellian was confident, he was fine as well.

He had faith in Kellian when it came to this. Kellian was a teacher to Lucifer in some regards at one time, so he certainly had an eye for such things.

Lucifer stepped inside the helicopter and took his seat.

Yaliza, Uzuki, Cassius, and Alicia also stepped inside before the helicopter started flying.

Looking at the departing helicopter, Kellian said, "Best of luck to you all."

He turned around and went back inside.

....

"Have you ever been inside a dungeon?" Alicia asked Lucifer, sitting right beside him.

Lucifer shook his head. "I read a lot related to the dungeons, but I never went inside them. Never got the opportunity."

" Same with me. I also never went inside. This is going to be fun."

"You never went inside either? How will you guide us then?" Lucifer asked, curious. He wanted to hear the answer from her even though he already knew it.

"I know all there is to know about the Dungeons in Elisium. A few people have explored the dungeons and made maps. I memorized all those maps, so I know much more than you in that regard," Alicia answered.

'That's true as well. My knowledge is related to the research papers I read in the Academy. Since they weren't from Elisium, it is better with Alicia.' Lucifer thought.

"Do you have the map of the specific dungeon we're going to enter?" Lucifer asked. "Can you show me?"

" It's in my brain. One of my abilities allows me to save memories like a photograph only when I want to. All those maps are in my head," Alicia replied.

"How many skills do you actually have?" Lucifer asked, smiling wryly.

"Counting all the random skills, I have thirteen," Alicia explained. "But most of them are passive, like this photographic memory or the lights you saw in the tunnel."

"If we talk about proper powerful abilities that can be useful in battle, I have five," Alicia replied. "Only two of them are offensive though."

"You?" she asked Lucifer.

"I have five of them. Four of them are offensive, and one is passive," Lucifer replied.

" I think that's why Uncle... I mean, Raia used to call you that."

"What did he call me?" Lucifer asked, curious.

" He used to call you a powerful sword," Alicia replied. "On the other hand, he used to call me a shield because I have more defensive skills. Even my attack skills aren't powerful to that extent."

' A sword, huh. That reminds me... Quan said my father was looking for a sword. But even he didn't know what sword or why. I wonder which sword it was. Why would he look for a sword when he didn't even use a sword?'

"What happened? Why are you lost in thought?" Alicia asked Lucifer, bringing him out of his daze.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about something. There are just too many questions in my head," Lucifer muttered, sighing. "I wonder if I'll ever get answers to such questions."

"What question? Ask me. Maybe I'll know the answer?" Alicia suggested.

"You know me, right? You all know my abilities? You think I would use a sword?" Lucifer asked.

"I don't think you can. Your abilities don't need a sword. Instead, it'll be an obstruction in your use of strength," Alicia replied, shaking her head.

"What do you think, Uzuki?" she asked the young man.

"Meh, it'll be a waste of time for him to use a sword. Swords are overhyped after all," Uzuki lazily replied.

As he noticed Cassius glaring at him, he smiled. "No offense to you. But that's just a personal opinion."

"Uncle Yaliza, what do you think?" Alicia asked Yaliza.

"I also think he doesn't need a sword," Yaliza calmly replied.

"That's right. My father was the same. He wouldn't need a sword either. Then why was he searching for a sword? It doesn't make sense," Lucifer expressed. "And I'm sure Quan wasn't lying about this."

s

" Maybe there was something special about that Sword?" Yaliza suggested.

" Yeah. Even the ones who don't use items love collecting them. So it's not odd if your father wanted a sword. It might not be because he wanted to fight using it, but because he wanted that special sword?" Cassius agreed with the suggestion of Yaliza.

"Because at that age and after fighting bare-handed for half their lives, people rarely change their battle style. So I doubt they wanted to use that sword," he further said.

"A special sword, huh. I wonder what could be so special about it to make my parents chase after it," Lucifer muttered as he glanced out the window.

He wondered what that Sword could be like and where it was hiding currently. If even his parents couldn't find it, there was only a low chance for him to find it. He decided to stick with his plan of collecting the stones.
