Inhuman Warlock
chapter-685

Cassius finally attacked Kellian after thinking for a really long time. Xaen had left everything on him. If he wanted to have Lucifer back, he needed to kill Kellian.

If he didn't, Kellian was going to disappear, and he wasn't going to be found. Lucifer was forever going to be going. At least that's what he thought.

Kellian tried leaving the formation barrier that was keeping him in one place, but he couldn't. He could only watch the attack come at him.

Finally, he stepped out of the shadow, observing the attack.

"Two deaths in less than two weeks. I seem to be on a roll here," he muttered, shaking his hand.

He folded his arms, not covering before the attack. "I would probably die with Overdrive, but... I'm going to die in any case. At least I can take him away."

He took a deep breath. It was always a hard decision to use Overdrive which boosted the strength of a Variant because it only gave them a few minutes before their death.

However, Kellian was prepared.

Time seemed to be moving extremely slow for him as he was thinking so fast, having no time.

...

Zale and Clarisse stood before the shop where they had bought clothes with Lucifer.

Lucifer had just disappeared, and none of them understood where he went. For some reason, the tone of his words made them hear like they were seeing him for the last time.

"Where did he go?" Clarisse asked Zale.

Zale was confused, having literally no idea.

He glanced at the letter in his hand, having a feeling that this one letter had the answers he needed.

He started unfolding the paper.

"If you're reading this letter, then I think I have left this place. I-"

Boom~

Zale started reading the letter, but he had just finished reading one line when a massive sand storm came from the back, hitting him.

The fine sand Particles made Zale bleed, tossing him straight ahead.

Clarisse was also hit by the sudden sandstorm, but she used her wind to keep minimal damage.

Zale landed on the ground, looking around to see who had attacked him.

"You..." He glared at two men standing before him and Clarisse, but the men weren't alone. Zale also noticed that there were hundreds of soldiers all around them, aiming their guns at them.

"Where is your third partner? I heard he was really into showing off by breaking into our government office?" One of the two black-clothed men asked.

"Did you know what you just did?" Zale asked, glancing at his hand. The piece of paper in his hand was missing. He only had a small corner of the paper in his hand, which contained just one word, "Must."

The fine particles of the sand attack had destroyed most of the paper in his hand.

"We haven't even begun. Raise your hand and go down on your knees. That is if you don't want a thousand holes in your body in the next second itself. We won't be as kind next time."

"You know what Lucifer would've said if he was here?" Zale asked, sighing.

"What?" Clarisse asked, stepping back to stand beside Zale. "That we should surrender instead of hunting the innocent?"

"Nope. He would've said that there are times when violence is necessary," Zale replied. "It's one of those times right now."

He further continued, "If we surrender now, we might be locked up for life for murder and breaking in. The only way to get out of this place is..."

"It's to go through them," Clarisse finished his sentence.

Zale said. "But the problem is the bullets."

" I might be able to take them out, but I need a bit of distraction," Clarisse told Zale, keeping her voice low.

"Then distraction is what you shall get," Zale said.

He took a step forward. "Are you two Variants as well? May I ask which one of you used the sand?"

"I don't see you going down to your knees. You know I'm not going to repeat myself. We don't have time to waste. Surrender right now. The next warning will come in the form of a bullet and will take your life with it."

"Fine. I'll surrender," Zale said, smiling. He raised his right foot a little and brought it crashing down.

Thum~

As soon as his right foot landed on the ground, a deep crater appeared around him. The cracks on the road started spreading everywhere while the ground started trembling.

The unexpected trembling made the guards lose their balance. Clarisse used the opportunity to fire her wind blast at all the guards, making them all fly back.

All the guards crashed on the walls behind them, losing their weapons.

Clarisse sent another gust of wind to pull all weapons towards her, away from the guards.

"You!" The two men grew infuriated, but before they could do anything, they felt a sense of danger.

They jumped back hastily, barely avoiding the black lightning that had fallen from the sky.

Two more lightning bolts fell, targeting the helicopters that were roaming in the sky.

"I-it worked! I did it!" Zale exclaimed excitedly. It was the first time he was able to bring forth the lightning from the sky. He didn't know how he did it, but the sudden connection made him feel really strong.

"That was good, but the battle isn't over yet," Clarisse reminded Zale, pointing straight ahead.

...

The fierce Sword Energy came flying to Kellian, who was just milliseconds away from throwing away from his life, but he noticed something which made him stop.

A shadow was coming out from under him on its own. It wasn't his shadow. He could feel it. That left only one person this shadow could belong to.

"Lucifer?" he muttered.

The shadow took the form of Lucifer. The first thing Lucifer saw was the attack of Cassius that was coming towards him.

He clenched his fist, punching the ground.

Boom~

A powerful black lightning wall appeared before him and Kellian, which intercepted the attack of Cassius.

"I must say, I thought I was dead and in a limbo when I woke up, only to then realize it was a shadow realm. May I ask why I was there?" Lucifer asked, glancing back at Kellian. "And why is Cassius attacking you?"

Even though he asked these questions, the main question he had was about himself. How was he here? Did the letter not do anything? There was no change in the history despite his presence in the past?

Everything seemed similar to the past except the fact that Cassius was attacking them.
