Inhuman Warlock
chapter-834

The Level Seven Dungeon housed the strongest Dungeon Dwellers that were capable of destroying planets with a flick of their fingers. However, even these strong Dungeon Dwellers needed one mare human to free them.

Their strength was their biggest curse since the stronger they were, the stronger the seal of the Dungeon was going to be, and it was going to last for a long time. On the contrary, if they were weaker, they could've left the Dungeon a long time ago.

That's why they had planned to invite Lucifer inside and use his energy to shatter the seal. Fortunately, they didn't know about the second Lucifer entering the Dungeon. They had been keeping an eye only on the first Lucifer as soon as he entered. Their entire focus was on them.

If they hadn't kept all the focus on the first Lucifer, they could've noticed that more people had entered the Dungeon. Their plan was only a part for the first Lucifer.

Lucifer, Jian, and Milena walked inside the Dungeon, prepared to face the Dungeon Dwellers. However, they were slightly surprised. It wasn't that they didn't find any Dungeon Dwellers. However, they had found a Dungeon Dweller that was already dead.

Along the way, they only saw bodies and blood.

"Whoever it was that entered before us, he's having real fun, it seems. He left nothing for us," Jian said amusingly. "Either this Dungeon is really as weak as I imagined it to be, or whoever entered before us is quite strong."

He touched the bodies of the beats. "Yep. The wounds are still fresh. The blood is still warm. If I'm not wrong, this happened in the last half an hour. If we're fast, we might be able to catch up to that person. These beasts would be slowing him down after all.

Lucifer nodded, observing the wounds. He didn't know why but it seemed somewhat familiar. "They are killed using lightning and brute strength."

"You noticed it too, it seems." Jian smiled. "That's right. Whoever did this has some abilities similar to you. Or your father, for that matter. That's why I'm curious to see who did it."

"I initially thought it was someone from your team who was here, but I studied up on your members a bit, and I know that none of them possess these abilities. So it's none of them. It looks like it'll be fun."

Jian looked excited to know more about the person who was ahead of them, but Lucifer wasn't as amused. These cuts didn't look like the work of the Dungeon Dweller that he was thinking about. Moreover, why would that Dungeon Dweller be killing his own beasts? It was certainly a human, and he was sure of it now.

With that theory, he would've assumed it was an Uprising member as well who was informed about the plight of Salazar and Yaliza, but that didn't make sense either.

Just as Jian had said, none in his team could control lightning to such precision. In fact, these wounds weren't much different from what he would've left behind.

"I'm also curious to meet the person who did it," Lucifer commented as he started walking.

They walked for twenty minutes straight. Without any obstruction, it was much faster for them to travel. They didn't need to waste time. However, even though they traveled so fast, they hadn't caught up to the person who was ahead of them.

"We still haven't managed to catch up to him, even though we didn't need to fight. Meanwhile, he has been killing beasts which should've slowed him down. Despite all that, he is still faster than us. That can only mean one thing," Jian muttered, observing the body before him.

The wound was also fresh on it, just like it was with every other body along the way.

"It means these beasts aren't even a threat to him," Lucifer finished the sentence of Jian. "He isn't wasting even a single second in killing them. That means he is quite strong. Moreover, he's moving very fast, as if he's in a hurry for some reason. That person is really good."

"Exactly. He's moving faster than us despite having more to handle. We need to increase our speed if we want to catch up to him." Jian nodded.

Milena hadn't spoken anything since they entered the Dungeon, but seeing the obsession of these two men with the person ahead of them, she couldn't control herself from chiming in.

"Why are we even so concerned with this person? Don't we have a different mission of our own? In any case, we also need to get to the end of the Dungeon. Even if we aren't fast, we'll still meet that person eventually!"

"You don't understand, little girl. It's not about meeting that person. It's about the curiosity. The faster we get rid of this curiosity, the better it is for us. You won't understand," Jian responded, laughing.

"We need to be fast. We can't let that person have all the fun," he added, standing up. With a confident smile, he turned to Lucifer. "How about we have a race?"

"What race?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"Let's see who reaches that person first! With this race, we will give it our all. We won't waste as much time either. So, what do you say? We didn't fight, so we couldn't decide which one of us was stronger. This race can be that battle," Jian chuckled. "No benefit in wasting time."

"Fine. We will have that race," Lucifer nodded. It wasn't a bad idea either. All of them were strong, and all of them could go faster than they'd been going. This wasn't half bad.

Jian stretched his arms. "On the count of three..."

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three...."

As soon as the count was over, two figures shot straight, leaving dust in their wake.

Milena shook her head. "These guys..."

She hadn't taken part in the race. In any case, she didn't want to get in between the battle of two men.

Still, she couldn't stay too far behind. She also started following after them, occasionally teleporting in the middle to cover any excess gap.

On one hand, Milena was trying to catch up to Lucifer and Jian. On the other hand, Lucifer and Jian were in a different league altogether.

Not only was Lucifer using his winds, but a flicker of lightning could also be seen around him. He could've used teleportation as well, but he was being fair and using pure and raw speed of his.

Surprisingly, Jian wasn't much behind either. It was unclear how he was so fast, but there wasn't much gap between him and Lucifer. In fact, it was Lucifer who was a few meters behind Jian, trying to catch up.
