Inhuman Warlock
chapter-766

"He won't make a foolish decision that would put his people at risk. And I'm sure Kellian knows that. That's why he's supporting him."

"But it's a stupid decision! It'll put all of us at risk!"

"Would you say the same thing if Her Majesty had suggested this plan? No right? You would've thought that she had some foresight."

"Why can't we give this benefit of the doubt to Lucifer? At least wait until Her Majesty is here. Let her discuss this plan with Lucifer. We don't need to involve ourselves."

"Her Majesty will agree with me that it's a stupid plan. Just you watch."

"And if she doesn't?"

"Then I'll do whatever one thing you say. And if she does oppose this plan, you'll do whatever one thing I tell you to do. Agreed?"

"Deal." Arthur smiled, taking the deal. He had some understanding of Milena, and he had some understanding of Lucifer.

He knew that both of them shared similar thinking. If Lucifer came with a plan, there was a good chance that Milena was going to understand it. He was confident enough to take this bet.

"Easiest bet I've ever made," he told Jiani as he stood up. "Anyways, I'm going back to the city to keep an eye out."

He stood up. His figure disappeared.

...

Uzuki roamed through the city for the first time. He wasn't even wearing any attire that could link him to the Uprising. Even the token that was given to him by Dallas was lying in his pocket, away from everyone's sight.

Moreover, this place used to be his home as well, so he remembered everything. He used to live here alone. He was a citizen of this place.

Roaming through the city, he subconsciously ended up in front of his house. It was a small house where he was born and grew up. He lived in this house with his parents.

As soon as his parents died, the memories of his parents started troubling him. Everything in this house reminded him of his parents, which made him decide to leave the city and travel the entire world.

That was how he ended up in Elisium and ultimately joined the Uprising, which brought him back here. It was like a cycle. He was back where he started.

There was a lock on the door, but the lock's key was always with him. The key was hanging on his neck like a pendant.

He used the key and opened the lock before stepping inside.

"It's been such a long time, yet it feels like I was just here yesterday," he muttered, sighing.

He observed all the paintings that were hanging by the wall and all the portraits of his family. Seeing the portraits, he again remembered his family. A look of reminiscence graced his innocent face, but he didn't cry.

He swiftly moved on and walked to his bedroom. The bed was perfectly clean and just as he had left.

He took off his shoes and dropped on the bed. "I am back home. It feels so good to lie on this bed again."

Without even realizing it, he fell asleep in the comfort of his own bed, losing himself to sweet dreams.

As Tristan fell asleep, the token of the Uprising fell out of his pocket, falling straight on the invisible mist.

....

While Yaliza slept peacefully, Uprising members kept disappearing. From ten, the numbers had increased to twenty. Only ten of them were left.

Amongst the ones dying, quite a few of them were Nobles as well.

"Where to next?"

"There's one more nearby. It should be easy to take him out though. He's deep asleep, all alone in the house."

"That's good."

Uri led everyone towards Uzuki's House.

Within five minutes, they reached the house of Uzuki. The door was still open. They just had to push it lightly, and they were allowed inside. With silent steps, they moved closer to the bedroom of Uzuki.

The five Warlock Council heads entered the bedroom of Uzuki, only to find him sleeping peacefully.

'We don't even need a shroud to kill this guy. Just how peacefully he is sleeping. He doesn't even realize the trouble he's in,' Uri thought, shaking his head in disappointment.

He gestured for Jian to kill the guy.

Jian took a step forward, moving closer to Uzuki. He raised his Sword, prepared to kill Uzuki.

His Sword came slashing down.

Tap~

Jian abruptly stopped as he heard the sound of footsteps. He looked back in the direction of footsteps.

The footsteps came closer and closer.

Jian and the others stepped aside, keeping their silence. They even slowed down their breathing to make sure they weren't discovered.

The door of the bedroom opened, and a middle aged man stepped inside.

He looked at Uzuki on the bed.

"Uzuki, is that you? You returned?"

"Huh?" Hearing the noise, Uzuki opened his eyes.

He sat up. "Uncle Luke?"

"Hehehe, you still recognize this old neighbor of yours? Where did you disappear suddenly? I thought something happened to you. You can't even imagine my shock when I saw your door open. I thought someone broke inside your house."

"Ah, it's nothing like that. I had left the city for a little while. I just returned," Uzuki responded.

"You chose a really bad time to return. The entire city is different now. The Warlock Council has fallen. Some outsiders have taken over this place. They rule this place. I'm even scared to go too far from my home. But it's good to see that you're back."

The man stepped closer to Uzuki.

In the back, Jian looked at Uri and others. They were relieved that it wasn't another Warlock. It seemed like it was just a Human. They could go forward with their plan.

He stepped closer to Uzuki again, prepared to attack once more. Meanwhile, Uri stepped closer to the middle aged man, keeping his steps silent, so there wasn't any noise.

As the middle aged man reached closer to Uzuki, he noticed the badge of Uzuki that was lying on the bed.

"That badge... You work for them?" Stunned, the man took a step back.

Uri was just standing behind the man, not expecting him to step back so suddenly.

The man hit him.

"Who?!" Stunned, the man felt like another person was behind him that he hit. Shocked, he looked back.

At the same time, Jian brought his sword swinging.

Uzuki noticed the strange phenomenon with the man. There was a sense of doom inside him which was more clearing felt by the other personality inside him.

The innocent look on his face disappeared, changing with a fierce one.
