Inhuman Warlock
chapter-425

"What the heck is this place?" The words echoed in the surroundings, filling the whole place.

It wasn't only Salazar who wondered about such a thing. Even Lucifer was thinking about the same thing, wondering what the heck was happening here. The same was the case for Caen. This place, it wasn't a bar at all.

There were couches and tables placed everywhere. All the seats were filled as well, occupied by white-robed people. As white robes were only worn by nobles and newborns, it was clear to understand that this place was filled mainly by them.

They weren't the only ones there though.

On the couch closest to Lucifer, a white-robed man was sitting comfortably. He wasn't sitting alone though. A woman was sitting on his lap, seemingly an ordinary human.

The man's teeth were stabbed in the neck of the woman as he sucked her blood. The woman didn't resist though. Instead, she seemed like she was going through ecstasy. A smile remained on her lips as she let the man drink her blood.

Similarly, on another couch, a white-robed woman was sitting. Her beautiful red hair came down to her waist. Most people would have been attracted by her beautiful looks, but Lucifer and others were disgusted as they watched a man lying on her lap.

She stabbed her sharp teeth in the neck of the man right before their eyes, making the man bleed while she sucked his blood.

Similarly, the same thing was going on all around this place. There were a few people that weren't drinking blood directly from humans though. A few people had glasses in their hands which were filled with blood. Bottles filled with blood were placed on the tables before them.

"This isn't the bar we expected it to be," Caen commented. "I think we should leave."

Unfortunately, their entrance wasn't stealthy. Some nobles had already seen them, standing up.

Slowly, more and more nobles realized what was happening here.

"It looks like a human doesn't know how to read. He really dared to infiltrate this place? Who wants to claim him? He's fresh blood, it seems." A young dark-haired Noble said, grinning.

His words brought even more attention to the situation.

The woman who had just started sucking the blood of a well-built man brought her teeth out of his neck, glancing in the direction of Lucifer.

"Step aside," A red-haired Noble said, pushing the woman in his lap aside.

"Wait... Take more!" The woman called out, sad that the man had stopped sucking her blood mid-way. She wanted even more of that ecstasy.

She lay on the sofa, sad.

There were around fifty Nobles inside the bar, and almost all of them were looking at Lucifer and his friends. Some even licked their lips.

"Because of Her Majesty's rules, we can't drink from any human unless they break a rule. After they do that, they are sent here," One of the Nobles said, smiling.

"In a long time, there hasn't been any fresh blood here. I was sad that no one breaks any rules nowadays. Who knew someone was going to come in here, offering themselves," he further added, bursting into laughter.

"Same here. I guess it's our lucky day. Four of them came at once," another Noble chimed in, smiling.

"You know, the first bite is always the best," the red-haired lady chimed in. "There are four of them. Only four of us can have that first bite. I'm calling dibs on the silver-haired sweetheart."

Her gaze remained on Lucifer as she talked, to be specific, on his neck.

"I'll take the blondie then," Another Warlock said.

Slowly, more and more Nobles started chiming in, expressing their desires to take the men for themselves.

The talks soon evolved into an argument as everyone wanted the first taste.

Standing near the entrance, Salazar looked weirdly at what was happening.

"Are they really talking about using us as food bags? I mean, can you tell me something?" Salazar asked Caen.

"Yeah. That's what's happening, I think. Also, what do you want to know?" Caen asked in return.

"I wanted to ask if they're underestimating us a bit too much or overestimating them even more?" Salazar asked, frowning.

According to him, he could easily take everyone out here. It didn't matter if people here were nobles or powerful Warlocks. For him, they were all nothing. He could wipe them all out before they could even bring their fangs out.

"Should I take them out?" Salazar asked Lucifer.

Lucifer slowly shook his head. "That won't be needed."

Folding his arms, he remained calm, observing all the Nobles.

He was more curious about this blood thing. There wasn't any data about this thing in any of the files. He was sure that even the Warlock Council didn't know about these things.

The Nobles drank human blood. He didn't know if they drank it only casually because it tasted good to them or if it was something essential for them.

If it was essential for their survival, then it could explain a few things. Most of the Nobles were pale. Their bodies probably didn't have enough blood, maybe because they were dead before being brought back to life.

Their bodies didn't have the same capacity to produce blood as an ordinary human, which was probably why they needed human blood. That was the theory Lucifer came up with, but he wasn't sure about this.

Seeing the argument escalated, one of the Nobles chimed in. "Let's not argue! How about we come up with a fair way to decide the turns."

"What fair way? Let's go with seniority. Since I'm the eldest of you all, I'll take the first turn."

"No, let's go with youngsters first. I'm the youngest, so I should go first."

"No, I was made a noble before you all. So let's go by the date we became a Noble. I'll go first."

"How about we go by height?"

"Weight?"

"Let's go by looks. I'm the most handsome. Let me go first!"

All the Nobles suggested a form of selection, only suggesting the things in which they were good at.

Seeing no good come out of it, the Noble who had stopped the last argument chimed in again.

"How about we let the prey choose instead? That would be fairer as no one has an unfair advantage in that. Let's see who they want to surrender to. That way, there's no cheating, and no one can be upset."

"I accept," the red-haired woman said, smirking. She slightly lowered her dress to reveal even more of her fair skin.
