Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 554 - 554: Atlantis

"There was a time when I went to the office of Master Zhu in the council. There was a file on his table. This symbol was printed on top of the file. And there were two words written on the file," Jenilia replied.

"What two words?" Lucifer asked.

"On top of the file, Classified was written. And in the middle was this logo. As for the second word, that was right under this trident symbol."

"And what was that?"

Jenilia took a deep breath before she replied, "It was Atlantis."

"Atlantis? What's that?" Salazar asked, smiling wryly. "The name of a group like Uprising?"

"I'm not sure. That was the first time I saw the symbol and this word. I'm as clueless about this as you all. Whatever this Atlantis is, it's highly classified. Even the Divine Emperor and Uprising weren't as classified," Jenilia replied.

"If this piece is actually related to Atlantis, it must be from there," she continued.

Lucifer rubbed the back of his head. "Atlantis, huh. It doesn't matter. What matters is that it's from there. The search is over."

"What search?" Hun finally decided to ask. "Didn't you say you didn't know anything about summons? Why does it look like you know more about it than even us?"

"It's the truth. We don't know anything about the summons. But we do know something else. We just wanted to make sure that this summons was related to what we know about," Lucifer replied. "I didn't think it would actually be the case, but it looks like that's the case."

"Can you be more clear?" Hun asked.

"Do you really want to know?" Lucifer asked, trying to come up with another story.

"It would be great if you could be honest." Hun nodded.

"The truth is that we didn't lie to you. We left our home because we wanted to travel the entire world, but there was more to it. We also wanted to try to see if we could find our parents," Lucifer replied, sighing.

"Huh?" Jenilia looked at Lucifer, smiling wryly. What nonsense was he spouting now? She thought he was going to tell the truth, but he made an even more absurd lie?

Salazar didn't react. He didn't expect Lucifer to tell the truth since it wasn't good to take the risk this close to the goalpost. What if they accepted the truth and Hun was upset that they lied to him? Everything was going to go south. He was wiser than Jenilia.

"Your parents?" Hun asked.

"Yeah. Our parents." Lucifer stood up and walked to Jenilia. He took the piece of metal from her hand, grazing his fingers against the trident symbol.

"Five years ago... Our parents disappeared from the city. That's what brought me and these two together since we all shared the same pain. We all came together and ultimately became close friends."

"Just like that, four years passed, and we weren't able to find anything regarding our parents. We ultimately gave up. Instead, to calm our heads, we decided to take a tour of the world together. And that's how those trips came together."

"However, as we traveled, we came to hear some things about the summons. That gave us hope and some hints. It made us think that maybe our parents were summoned as well. That's why we were so interested in the summons."

"Throughout our journey, we tried to collect as much information about summons as we could, but we didn't get any concrete information, at least not until now," Lucifer explained as he sat back in his seat.

He didn't forget to lower his head and close his eyes.

"W-we are sorry. We reminded you of the hard past!" Seeing Lucifer look so sad, Yui hastily apologized. She believed in each and every world of Lucifer.

"I-i am sorry. I didn't mean to accuse you or remind you of the past. My curiosity just got the best of me. Can you forgive your friend?" Hun also chimed in.

Lucifer took a deep breath as he raised his head. "It's alright. You aren't at fault. Anyone in your place would have asked such questions. Moreover, you aren't responsible for the disappearance of our parents. You don't have to apologize."

"Thank God you aren't upset!" Hun also sighed a breath of relief. "So, what is this Atlantis about?"

"Each of our parents left behind some things. Jenilia's mother left behind a diary in which there was a mention of Atlantis. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to open the diary, as you already heard."

" Master Zhu is what she calls her uncle. Her mother left the diary to her uncle. When she went to her uncle's room, she saw the name and the symbol as she had just said. That's all she knows about this as well," Lucifer explained.

"Why don't you ask the uncle to let you read the diary? That would give you so many clues about Atlantis?"

"We can't. After she asked her uncle about the diary, he burnt it. He said he didn't want Jenilia to dig in too deep and get hurt. That's why the only thing she knows about them is that it's related to this trident symbol and Atlantis! And now we have proof with this piece of metal!"

"The world Gon goes to is the same World where our parents also used to go most probably. If I'm not wrong, they used to come back before we could notice their absence, until one day when they couldn't come."

" The answers we need lie in the world that Gon is summoned to. Finally, we have a clue!"

"I... I can understand how excited you must be to know about your parents, but as I said. Only the people who are selected by the Gods can go to the other world, and no one knows how that selection is made. Even with that knowledge, you can't do anything," Hun said, sighing.

"Also, as much as I want to curse myself for saying it, but it has been five years. If they haven't come back, they are probably dead. I think you should try to leave the past behind and live in the present!" He continued, even though he was finding this topic heavy. He didn't want to hurt Lucifer.

"You don't have parents at home. You don't have to go back. Just stay here forever! Make this city your home! All of us are here for you!" he added.

"Stay here forever?" Yui muttered. Even though she was sad about the history of Lucifer, the thought of them staying here forever was making her happy from the inside.

Moreover, he didn't have parents.. Even after marriage, he could stay at her home as the son-in-law.
