Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 586 - 586: Why Would Anyone...?

"Mother, are you fine?" Amelia went on her knees, watching her mother lie there.

"I am fine." Her mother sat up, still staring at Lucifer.

"Who are you exactly?" She asked Lucifer. No ordinary beast could be so strong, especially without turning. In the human form, beasts could use powers but only a tiny fraction of their true power.

That's why all High Beasts preferred to change forms when fighting. It was different with Lucifer though. Lucifer fought all this while without turning.

He wasn't just strong at her, but he was stronger than her in his human form, which stunned her the most since it implied he was a thousand times stronger than what he showed if he turned. Just what kind of monster was he?

"Who am I?" Lucifer asked in return. "I already introduced myself when you weren't here. I am Lucifer Azarel, the Warlock who shall rule everything one day."

As Lucifer spoke, his voice seemed filled with power, making others feel that he wasn't just telling what he wanted to do, but he was reading the future of this world instead. The level of confidence was just incredible in his tone.

"You... I don't want to get involved with you." Amelia's mother stood up, forcing her weak body. "Even though I want to kill you, I know it's impossible with my strength, even if you destroyed my daughter's life. Please leave."

"You already destroyed the wedding. Leave us alone now and do whatever you want to do."

"I think you misunderstand something. I didn't come here for your permission. I came here on my terms, and I'll leave when I want," Lucifer lazily stated.

Even though he hadn't killed Amelia's mother, he didn't have any goodwill left for her in his heart since she attempted to kill him. In fact, he only had contempt for her.

"Amelia, step forward," he commanded Amelia. "I don't have much time."

Amelia stood up. After taking a brief look at her mother, who was saying no, she walked towards Lucifer.

She stopped before Lucifer. She knew he wasn't going to hurt her, most probably.

Standing before him, she bowed slightly. "Thank you for helping me. Because of you, I can live and die in dignity. I'll always be grateful to you, no matter how long I live."

"Will you be silent and listen to me first?" Lucifer calmly stated. "I came here to talk to you."

Amelia nodded.

"I am leaving soon. And I probably won't be coming back. That's why I wanted to help you before leaving. It's all because you helped my mother. So don't overthink why I did it."

In the back, Salazar was struggling to control his smile. 'He really doesn't understand himself. He's not lying to Amelia. He's lying to himself instead.'

"I didn't want you to suffer because of the poison you received while saving my mother. Think of it as me settling scores," Lucifer told Amelia.

"The poison she received while saving your mother? So it's your family which destroyed the life of my daughter?!'' Amelia's mother exclaimed, hearing the words of Lucifer. "So you're not a beast but a so-called human?!"

She continued yelling. "And you think breaking her marriage absolves you of all responsibility? She'll still be suffering until she dies in a few months, all because you destroyed the wedding!"

Lucifer's frown deepened. Lightning again flashed in his eyes as a lightning bolt came crashing from the sky, landing just a few inches away from Amelia's mother.

"Don't think I'm joking when I say I'll kill you. Don't test your luck," Lucifer grimly declared. "If I hear one more word from you, you'll find your head in your feet, and that's the promise of a Warlock!"

Amelia's mother looked at the hole in the ground that was made because of the bolt. She started sweating, realizing that she was too weak here. She couldn't even voice her opinion or anger.

"Please don't!" Amelia exclaimed before looking at her mother. "Mother! Stay silent! If you don't, I'll never see you again!"

Even without Amelia's insistence, her mother had realized that she needed to remain silent. If she died, her daughter had no one to take care of her.

"That's better. Now, where was I?" Lucifer rubbed his chin. "Ah, yeah. Settling scores."

"I've decided to settle scores and heal you. But I need to strengthen my abilities to heal you. And it'll take time. So I want you to accompany me back. That way, I can control your poison from hurting you. And when I get strong enough, I'll heal your inner poison and send you back. Do you accept?"

"Accept?" Amelia asked. "Coming with you?"

"Yeah. Coming with me to earth." Lucifer responded. "Think carefully. I won't force you, but that's the best option for you. And you won't have to marry any stranger either. After you're healed, you can come back."

"Ah, Lucifer! It's happening!"Jenilia's abrupt yell attracted everyone's attention.

Lucifer turned around, looking towards Jenilia. She could see a small white circle appear under Gon's feet which was getting bigger.

It looked like the Summoner on Earth had started drawing the Summoning Circle.

"Lucifer, time to leave." Salazar also became alert. He started walking towards the summoning circle.

After reaching the circle, he spread his Time Domain to slow it down even more.

Lucifer also stood up.

He curiously looked towards Amelia, raising his hand. "Will you come?"

It was the first time he was inviting someone to join him... The first time he was raising his hand towards another person, trying to extend his trust.

Amelia looked down at his hand, which was hidden by black gloves that were slightly degraded because of time. She didn't grab his hand though.

She looked at her mother in the back. The thought of leaving her mother forever? She didn't like it. She didn't want to leave her behind.

Lucifer waited for Amelia to hold his hand for about ten seconds with expectations, but his hand remained empty.

Amelia didn't hold his hand. Instead, she turned her back on him and started walking towards her mother instead.

'I am sorry, but I can't leave my home.' she thought but didn't have the courage to speak out loud.

Lucifer's hand was left where it was, empty as always.

He looked down at his empty hand, slightly chuckling. "Of course... Why would anyone...?'

He lowered his hand, clenching his fist tightly. The sky outside was already dark, but it also started raining. Some of the water droplets fell from the broken roof, falling on Lucifer.

He didn't look back as he walked towards Salazar. Both his fists were clenched, and there were no expressions on his face.. Thunder kept roaring in the sky again and again.
