Inhuman Warlock
chapter-812

After giving it a long thought, Lucifer decided to take the decision. His decision came as a surprise to everyone, including Joana, who was expecting Lucifer to stop and talk now.

He felt that Lucifer did care for the lady, or he wouldn't have stopped initially, but he couldn't understand his decision to attack how.

"He probably thinks that giving up will make him weaker." Joana rubbed his chin, finding the entire situation amusing. He also felt a bit disappointed by the reaction of Lucifer.

"He is good, but he still needs to learn a lot. I think his definition of strength makes him weaker instead. He thinks he needs to do certain things even if they go against what he truly wants. He thinks that he must not listen to his emotions. However, he forgets one crucial thing..."

Joana started rising in the air after Lucifer as well. "He forgets that these emotions are what makes a person. He doesn't always have to sacrifice what he wants to stand tall. He can do it without this as well."

Joana reached Lucifer, but he didn't stop. He kept flying further. He passed through the barrier around the Warlock Council headquarters.

"What are you doing?! Step away!" Lucifer roared, warning Joana, so he didn't get hurt in the attack.

Joana smiled in response, glancing back.

Jian also seemed confused as to who this person was. He had managed to pass through the barrier so easily. Moreover, this person also seemed a bit too mysterious.

Jian couldn't put a finger on it, but he felt that there was something about this person that was out of this world.

It was his first time seeing this man, but still, he felt a little intimidation from the man. He didn't feel it even when he stood against Lucifer. For some reason, this man gave him the jitters.

Jian held the hilt of his sword firmly as he watched Joana get closer to him. He didn't know who this person was. It made him even warier.

The Trident kept falling from the sky, getting closer and closer to the Warlock Council headquarters.

"Don't worry. I am not here to interfere in the matters of this world," Joana told Jian, smiling.

He raised his right hand toward the sky and stood in the path of the lightning trident.

The massive trident touched his hand; however, instead of destroying his band, the trident started getting smaller as all the destructive energy was absorbed in the body of Joana.

It seemed as if Joana was absorbing the entire trident. The Trident broke into pure lightning and entered his body before disappearing entirely.

The massive trident, which seemed powerful enough to flatten an entire city, was swallowed by Joana like it was nothing.

This was the first time Lucifer had seen Joana in action, and he was surprised at his strength. More than surprised, he was upset at Joana for interfering.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm just stopping you from making a mistake."

"You said you won't interfere with whatever happens!"

"I kept my words. I didn't interfere in the matters of this world. I just stopped a star alliance member from making a mistake that he might regret in the future. And I think you'll be grateful someday that I did it."

"Who... are you?" Jian asked Joana, frowning. "You don't seem like an enemy. You stopped him. But you aren't a friend either since you seem to be with him. So what exactly is your aim?"

Joana turned to Jian.

"Who am I? I don't think you've earned the right to know that yet. As for me being your enemy, you should hope that day never comes. For now, just know that I'm a neutral party here."

" I'm not going to interfere in the matters of this world unless you force me. In that case, I might forget the rules. So you better not make that happen."

"As for you, Lucifer. I think it's not the time to fight, especially if it's going to hurt someone you care for. I think we should take things easy and focus on the common ground to solve the conflicts. What do you two say?"

"Oh right. Ten minutes have already passed. I only have ten more minutes. I think before we talk about cooperation, we should get to finding the stones!"

"That cooperation will never happen," Lucifer straight told Joana, but he soon thought of something.

He couldn't get Joana to take part in the battle, but he could certainly get the guy to take Milena from them.

"But you're right. We should focus on the stones. And as I said, the stone was with a girl. That's the girl." Lucifer pointed towards Milena.

"She has the stone?"

"Yeah. And only he should know where she kept it."

"Fine, let me ask her where it is.".

Joana flew towards the building.

"I will be taking that girl. Don't try to stop me if you don't want to die. If you attacked me first, I'd take that as hostility, and it'll be a declaration of war against the Star Alliance. I've warned you."

Joana landed on the building and walked towards the middle-aged man who was carrying Milena.

The man glanced at Jian. He didn't know how to react. He waited for instructions from Jian.

Jian stood silent, keeping his eyes on the man. He didn't know who the man was, but hearing the words of Joana, he felt that the man had some extraordinary origin.

He had also noticed the massive ship that had surrounded the sun. He had received the information from the scientists as well.

He managed to put the pieces together that this man wasn't from earth. He didn't know how strong that massive ship was, but he was sure that the ship was going to have some powerful weapons.

"You aren't from this earth. Are you?"

"I'm not," Joana answered.

"Let him take the woman," Jian told his man calmly. "

"I'm giving you the woman. Take her. But only, I'm taking your words. You won't interfere in the matters of Earth, no matter what we do here," Jian reminded Joana.

He wasn't scared of Lucifer, but he was certainly wary about an organization from space that had strong people like Joana. He didn't want to make enemies before he knew more about them.

"I have better things to do than to fight your wars," Joana responded lazily.

Joana took Milena and stood at the edge of the building.

"I'm taking her to the ship to wake her up. Are you coming?" he asked Lucifer. "I only have a few minutes left. We need to be fast."
