Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 91 - 91: Change

"Then nobody can stand in our way. Not to mention the Union of Hunters, even Alpha Squad Leader of the APF Varant would not be able to stand in our path," acknowledged Vega.

Even though Caen couldn’t see Vega’s expressions, he was sure that there was a grin on Vega’s face right now.

Caen took a deep breath before he opened his mouth and asked, "Aren’t you scared of the kid, though? If he actually rises like that, wouldn’t it mean that there will be two people above you?"

"Your position is likely to fall. In a way, it seems like we won’t be using the kid, but he would be using us to rise to the top to rule over our organization and this world. Don’t you have any concerns?"

"Concerns, huh? You have no reason to worry. It’s for our shared purpose. I am prepared to make any sacrifice," Vega replied. "As far as the little one is concerned, don’t worry. We know how to manage it in the present as well as in the future. Just bring him to us."

...

Cold wind brushed against Lucifer’s face along with the water droplets of the rain, making him blink more than he usually did to be able to see clearly.

The cage bars were cold to the touch; however, Lucifer didn’t care about it at the moment. All he cared about was being free from this unbreakable prison.

Even though the bars did not prevent the air from entering, Lucifer felt as if he was suffocating. He couldn’t breathe and started getting agitated.

Being trapped in the cage reminded him of his old days when he was trapped inside the small room. At the time, he thought it was a room that would help him awaken his powers more quickly. He was told it was for his sake.

He was told that it was his room. Only when he was killed did he realize that the Facility was not to help him. The place he believed to be his new home was nothing more than a giant prison where he was held captive.

Being trapped in the cage was reminding him of the Facility, and he was finding it suffocating. He didn’t care anymore. All he wanted was to get out of that cage, even if he had to put his life on the line.

As determination filled his heart, one of his eyes began to change color gradually.

The eye, which had slowly started turning violet minutely, did it at a faster pace.

...

Lucifer’s right eye slowly changed color. It became slightly more violet, but it was still being overwhelmed by the original blue color of his eye. Most others wouldn’t even notice the slight change in his eyes from a distance.

Lucifer could also feel a current coursing through his body as if his blood was filled with electricity. He didn’t realize what was happening.

His breathing was rapid as the memories of his torture in his last moment flashed through his head along with all the previous memories.

He felt like he had never felt before. Was it fear he was feeling? Or was it hate? Or was it the tendency to go on a rampage and destroy everything that stood in his path? He didn’t care what it was. All he knew was that he couldn’t stay inside for even a second.

He caught the bars again without waiting for even a second. His muscles bulged again as his veins became visible through his skin. Even the veins in his neck were visible.

As Lucifer was putting all his effort into breaking through, no one else could see him. Even Caen wasn’t focused on Lucifer at the moment as he was immersed in the call with Vega at the moment.

He had no idea what was happening right under his nose. Everyone had thought that it was impossible for Lucifer to break through with his strength, but it was clear that they had underestimated him a lot, thinking that he was a naive kid who couldn’t do anything.

They had forgotten that he was a Warlock who was capable of something that no one could even comprehend.

The cage’s bars were made with one of the strongest materials known to people at the moment. It was further coated with anti-decaying material made with the research based on Lucifer’s own mother.

...

Lucifer’s mother, Clarisse, was known to be the strongest Sorcerer in the world. Even though she was a hero who fought for the righteous side, it wasn’t a lie that her decaying power was scary.

People knew that if she could awaken this power, there was a chance that someone else could as well. If the one who awoke this power after her was a good person like her, it was all good, but if the person was evil, they needed something to stop them.

They couldn’t let that person roam freely. Clarisse understood this concern as well, and she also shared it. She also didn’t want this power to be used by bad people since she knew how scary this power could be.

That’s why she contributed to the research and helped them create something that could resist decaying.

The only unfortunate thing was that this liquid could only be used on non-living items. Humans couldn’t rub this on their skin to protect themselves.

This liquid acted like acid if it was applied to human skin. That’s why it was only used on metals and other items. Also, it was too rare since it was way too expensive even to make a little amount of this liquid.

Even though Lucifer’s decaying powers were not working on the metallic bar, his other powers came to the rescue.

The mysterious black lightning gloves once again appeared around his hands that clashed against the coating of the bar. The coating and even the bars started melting since the heat that was created between the clash of the coating and lightning was too much for it to handle.
