Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 651 - 651: Suspicions

"What is happening here?" Milena asked, confused.

"What's happening is that we've seen your true side. And if you all didn't step away from him, I don't care who you are or how strong you are. You'll be lying on the ground in pieces!" Cassius warned everyone, stepping closer to Lucifer.

"Fine. I'll step away from him. Let me understand what just happened here. I'm just as ignorant as you. And I don't want this misunderstanding to cause any unnecessary conflict." Arthur started stepping back slowly, moving away from Lucifer.

"That's better," Cassius said, stopping right beside Lucifer. Salazar also came beside him to keep Lucifer safe. Until they had an answer, they couldn't trust anyone.

"Will someone explain what just happened? Why are you talking like we're your enemies? And why is Lucifer lying like that?" Milena asked again.

"Ah, Your Majesty, look there..." Jiani pointed towards the body lying on the ground in the distance.

"That looks to be Aira. She is killed with a sword. I believe they attacked her. Either they've gone crazy, or they want to kill us now that we helped them. I'm not sure why though. But we must be careful," She reminded Milena.

"For now, don't trust them," she added.

"There's nothing like that. I have a feeling that they were justified in killing Aira," Arthur responded, appearing beside Milena.

"What do you mean?" Jiani asked. "Why did she deserve to die? What happened before we came?"

"I think the only person who can answer the question should be Yasmine. When I appeared with Cassius and Salazar, I noticed that Lucifer was lying on the bed. And Aira's sword was moving towards his throat. She was about to kill Lucifer," Arthur replied, frowning.

"What? Why would she try that? Are you telling the truth?" Milena asked, still not believing everything.

"I am just telling what I saw. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. But at the time, I didn't think anyone had the time to think. So they acted in haste to save Lucifer and killed her. Fortunately, he wasn't harmed," Arthur replied, letting out a deep sigh.

"Because if Lucifer had actually died for some reason, that bracelet would have killed you since it's connected to his life," he further added.

"Aira! How could she be such an idiot!" Jiani exclaimed. "By attacking Lucifer, she wasn't attacking him but attacking all the Nobles! His death would have been our death!"

"That would be the case if he was killed. But with his abilities, I have a feeling that the outcome would have been much worse," Arthur said, glancing towards Lucifer. "If he were killed, we would have died. But if he had survived the attack, he would've killed us all in anger!"

"Fortunately, we were here to stop this from happening,"He let out, placing his hand on his chest. "I don't even want to think about a future where we had failed to stop the attack..."

"How is he?" Cassius asked Salazar, who was checking Lucifer. He didn't keep his sword back either.

"There are no Physical wounds as far as I can see, but something is certainly wrong with him. He is sweating, and his body is heating up. It's as if he has a heavy fever," Salazar replied.

" But his face is pale as well, like his body lacks blood. I don't understand what's happening to him. His heartbeat is also slow," he further added.

"Did someone poison him?" Cassius asked.

"I'm not sure. But if it was poison, his healing should have been working to help him. Poison should be useless on him. I think it's the effect of some Warlock using their abilities on him," Salazar replied. "Maybe so they could easily kill him?"

"You mean... Nobles. So they truly schemed to kill Lucifer," Cassius muttered. "We can't keep Lucifer here. We need to take him to a safe place, away from them. They can't be trusted!"

Cassius stood up after checking up on Lucifer.

"Please don't get to any conclusion so fast. We promise we didn't plan to hurt Lucifer. Why would we even try! Her Majesty's life depends on his life! If he dies, she dies! And if she dies, we all die! Why would we try to kill him?! Let's get to the bottom of the truth together!" Arthur let out.

Salazar looked at the Nobles suspiciously. Their words did make sense, but he also had another theory.

What if they thought that Lucifer had bluffed about the bracelet being linked to his life, and they wanted to call out the bluff by killing him? He couldn't trust them just on the basis of that clarification alone.

"Sure. Tell us your side of the story. Let me hear what justification you have for one of you attacking Lucifer and for this condition of his!" Salazar let out, pointing towards Lucifer.

"I can tell you what happened! I have been here since the start!" Taking a deep breath, Yasmine stepped forward. "Arthur won't know anything, but I can explain what happened."

"Then tell us what happened," Milena said. "Let me know what could make such a strong Warlock lie like a weakening on the sofa. Just what happened to him?"

"I-i was sent to search the floors after you all went to take care of the incoming enemy. I was tasked with searching the twelfth floor. And that's where I found Lucifer!" Yasmine said.

"He was lying on the ground like he is right now. And he had a high temperature. So I brought him upstairs and placed him on the bed, and tried to find medicine. But I couldn't."

"So I just filled a bowl with water and tried to bring his temperature down by placing a wet cloth on his forehead," Yasmine exclaimed.?"I'm sure you can see the bowl of water and the cloth right there. It should be there!"

Salazar looked behind and noticed a bowl was indeed lying there.

"Very convenient story. You found him like that on the twelfth floor?" Salazar asked. "Arthur, didn't you check the twelfth floor when you were collecting bodies?"

"Doesn't it look too convenient that you were in the place where Lucifer was found lying, and you claimed you didn't see him? Or could it be you did it yourself?"

"I didn't see him there. I'm being completely honest. But it's also true that I didn't check every corner," Arthur scratched the back of his head.

"I had killed the Warlocks on floor one to floor eleven. And I also checked floor twelve before coming up.. So I knew where all the bodies were," he added.
