Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 623 - 623: Whereabouts

He walked to Eve.?"What are you doing here?"

"Sightseeing. What are you doing here? How did the meeting go?" Eve asked, acting like nothing had happened.

"Don't act ignorant. You knew about the sword, right? Why didn't you tell me before!"

"What Sword?" Eve asked, confused. "Oh, you mean the Sword of Angels or whatever they call it? Yeah, I knew about it. Why?"

"Why didn't you tell me about the sword and that it was with Andrim! That man isn't even in the city! If I had attacked them, It would've been a mess!"

"He isn't in the city? I thought he never left the city. Before you woke me up, I was in the meeting with them, and he was in the city. However, a few days have gone by since then. So maybe he left. Just bad timing, I guess," Eve smiled wryly. "So you didn't go through with it, right?"

"I didn't. I need to wait for more now," Lucifer responded. "But that still doesn't change the question. Why didn't you tell me? It doesn't matter if he was here or not. I needed to know about something like a freaking Sword made using these stones!"

"Ah, I think you should calm down. People are looking at us," Arthur tapped the shoulder of Lucifer, alerting him.

Fortunately, the people who were looking at them were casual citizens. They weren't related to the Warlock Council and weren't close enough to hear what was going on.

The people only thought that it was a lover's quarrel.

Lucifer observed his surroundings and calmed down.

"Walk with me," he told Eve.

They continued walking while looking at the surroundings as if they were tourists. However, the conversation didn't stop.

"I didn't tell you about that sword because it's not here. Why would I even tell you about that thing? That's not of concern for your meeting. If it were with Andrim, of course, I would've told you," Eve answered, smiling.

"The sword isn't with Andrim?" Lucifer asked. 'Who has the sword then?"

"Hehehe, it's a fun story," Eve flashed a cheeky smile. "That Andrim guy... He lost the sword."

"He lost the sword?" Lucifer's face twitched. "So he was bluffing?"

"He certainly was. He still hasn't told his men that he lost the sword in fear of upsetting them. For a long time, he has been trying to find the sword while keeping it a secret from others," Eve replied. "Why else do you think he didn't use the sword instead of asking you for help?"

"He said it was because of the Sword's side effect and that it can kill its welder."

"That's just the bs excuse he gives his men." Eve laughed. "Even though it's true, that's no reason for him to not use the sword. He can certainly find a group of strong Warlocks to wield the sword instead."

" But he keeps giving this excuse that it's only for an emergency since he has nothing to show in the name of that Sword," she further continued.

"If he waged a War without your help, people will certainly ask him to use the sword which he doesn't have. It's like he has dug a hole for himself, and he needs you to make it right."

"How can someone like him lose such an important weapon? I mean, just how?" Milena looked confused.

A person losing a weapon of this magnitude? How was it possible?

"Losing it might be putting it lightly. I don't think I can fault him. He placed the sword in his room safely. But when he went to check, it wasn't there. So even though I said he lost it, it's actually stolen."

"You know who stole the sword?" Lucifer asked. "Then you must also know where that sword is?"

"Of course, I know who stole the sword," Eve answered.

"Where?"

"It's in the world of Summons. It's in the place you just came back from." Eve laughed. "But it would be better if you don't go back there. The sword is already in the hands of someone who is looking for you to kill you. So stay here. It's safer."

"Someone who wants to kill me? I mean, you'll have to be more specific than that. The list is pretty big after all," Lucifer lazily replied.

"Showoff," Milena muttered under her breath. She could hear the pride in the voice of Lucifer as he talked about it.

"Also, how did it even end up in the World of Summons?" Lucifer further asked. Even though he had heard what Milena said, he didn't pay any heed.

"One word. Zhu..."

"What Zhu?" Lucifer asked, frowning. He couldn't recall the name. "Is he one of the guys I killed? Ah, that Summoner! You mean him?"

"Pretty much. It was none other than his own beasts who stole the sword and took it to him. And to keep the sword a secret, he took the help of that black dragon that you had taken into your control."

"That dragon?"

He recalled leaving a Parasite in the Dragon and using him to kill Zhu. However, when they were thrust to the World of Summons, he sensed that someone had killed the Dragon and the other beasts.

"Yup. Since he worried that someone might come to check his room after the news of the sword disappearing was discovered. So he called forth the Dragon."

"Don't tell me he sent the dragon back with the Sword. That idiot! Did he not know that the beasts lose their memories after going back?" Lucifer asked. He couldn't believe the stupidity of Zhu.

"Not really. He didn't send the dragon back. Instead, he told the Dragon to absorb the Sword in his body. When you fought him, you must have noticed that the Dragon wasn't moving his left hand much. It's because he was keeping that sword in his left hand," Eve explained.

"Zhu was an idiot but not enough of an idiot to not know that the Dragon would lose his memories. That's why he didn't send the sword back with him but just told him to keep it inside his body."

"That way, even if he forgot the memories after going back, he couldn't get rid of the sword or sense it. And when Zhu needed, he could just call the dragon out and ask him for the sword. Unfair, it looks like he didn't get much of a chance after you took control of his Dragon."

"So the sword was with the Dragon." Lucifer frowned, frustrated. He couldn't believe how close the sword was to him. "Is it with the people who killed it!"

"Yeah. After sending the dragon under someone else's control because of the Parasite, they killed that Dragon. It is blasphemy to let someone else have control of your body like that, after all.

Not only were the three beasts killed, but their bodies were searched thoroughly.. That's when they discovered the sword.
