Inhuman Warlock
chapter-761

Lucifer looked to his left, noticing two men standing outside the spheres on floating metal boards.

"You two are here."

"You think we won't come? Just because you fooled us, we wouldn't be able to find you? The people from the surface really underestimate Atlantians."

"Tell me, where is she?!"

"She? Who is she?" Lucifer asked.

"You know who I'm talking about! Where is the lady who you took with you? Where is Eve?!"

"So you came all this way to find her? I thought I was the reason. I'm hurt, you know. I am just the secondary reason for your arrival?"

"Enough of your games! Tell me where she is?! Return her to us!"

"If you had asked in the past, maybe I would've considered, but now..." Lucifer shook his head.

"She isn't going anywhere. Let alone you; even your King can't take her from me. You can certainly try though."

"Is that right?" The Old Minister let out, frowning. "We know you are strong, but you Variants underestimate us humans. We have reached a realm that you can't even imagine!"

"You will listen to us!"

Lucifer waved his hand, making a shadow portal appear under him. He released the throat of Xaen, letting him fall.

Xaen was swallowed by the shadows as well.

Lucifer patted his hands, "Now to focus on you."

The Old Minister smirked. "I like your arrogance. If I was in your place, I might've been arrogant as well since I would've been a frog at the bottom of the well."

"You destroyed an academy of ours, and now you think that's the strength of Atlantis. You don't understand what you destroyed was like a small speck of Atlantis in the most distant corner. Let me show you the true Strength of Atlantis!"

The old man raised his hand towards Lucifer. He clenched his fist. The spherical barrier around Lucifer suddenly contracted, becoming smaller.

As it kept getting smaller, it reached close enough to start pressing on Lucifer.

Lucifer took off his gloves, keeping them in his pocket before his figure disappeared from inside the barrier. He appeared right behind the old man, extending his hand to grab the throat of the man.

The man's throat was a few inches away from Lucifer when his white Gloves turned red.

Lucifer's hands passed through the man, unable to touch him at all.

The old man lowered his gaze, noticing Lucifer's hands that had passed through his throat.

He turned around, looking Lucifer right in the eyes. "I stand by my statement. You underestimate us too much. "

His body was in an ethereal form that couldn't be touched by anyone, yet he could touch everything. He placed his hand on Lucifer's chest.

Boom~

A powerful energy explosion took place between his hand and the chest of Lucifer. His body was ethereal, so he wasn't affected by it. He just stood there calmly with a smile on his face.

The body of Lucifer wasn't the same. Caught by surprise, his body shot back like an arrow, crashing on the ground.

A crater developed under him due to the impact.

Lucifer's clothes were still intact, but his body was in a mess. There was a hole in his body, and most of his skin was burnt. Even with the decreased impact of the Battle Gear, the attack was enough to damage him heavily.

His body slowly started healing as he pushed his body up; however, he once again found himself inside a sphere. The sphere was blood red this time.

"Same trick?"

"Not the same trick. Previously, I didn't know you could Teleport. I hadn't seen you do that, so I didn't prepare accordingly. However, this time the system knows the extent of your ability. It has modified itself accordingly."

"That sphere doesn't just stop you now, but it also creates a Spatial Chamber inside where you can't create any Spatial Disturbance. And without creating a spatial disturbance, Teleportation is impossible."

"You can't escape, young man. We are superior in technology. The era of Warlocks is long gone. It's the era of technology now. Technology that can learn your fighting skills just by seeing you and device plans accordingly."

Lucifer didn't blindly believe the words of the man and tried teleporting out of this barrier again.

It didn't work. There was no way he could teleport outside.

He raised his hand towards the sky, calling forth his lighting. A Mighty lightning bolt came crashing down, as thick as the barrier itself.

The lightning bolt crashed on the spherical barrier.

A blinding flash of light spread everywhere as the barrier and the lightning clashed.

Everything settled down, and Lucifer finally came into view under all the dust that was floating around. He was still inside the barrier that was perfectly fine.

Lucifer was slightly surprised. The barrier actually survived the impact.

"I told you, we know all your tricks. We've seen you fight. The barrier is made, keeping you in mind. AI considered all the scenarios regarding your skills that it analyzed to make sure it found the best solution."

The old man floated closer to Lucifer, landing right in front of him, right beside the barrier. The young guard also landed right behind him.

Alexi has returned by now, but he didn't interfere in the battle. Instead, he hid in the back, staying away from everyone's eyesight. He didn't want anyone to see.

Lucifer was fighting the strangers he knew nothing about. He didn't want to intervene without knowing anything. Since the enemies had Lucifer on the backfoot, he didn't believe he could contribute anything.

Moreover, he didn't want to jump in the battle of two strong people. He wasn't stupid enough to jump in.

He just stood in the back, observing the battle. He was, however, very curious. Who were these people? How were they beating Lucifer so easily? Just what was so special about them?

There was a small part in him that was hoping for the defeat of Lucifer since that was going to mean that he didn't need to work for anyone.

There was another part of him that wanted Lucifer to win since he truly wanted to see what the world imagined by Lucifer could look like. Could it really be a perfect world?

He couldn't wait to see what the future held for their world? But there was also a big question in his mind.

Lucifer had waged a war on the entire world. He had destroyed many organizations on the way, and in the future, he was going to destroy more.

When the world didn't have any strong people other than the ones Lucifer allowed, who was going to protect people? Who was going to keep the dungeons secure?
