Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 658 - 658: Goals

"One day, I also want to make my parents proud," Zale said, sighing.

"Parents, proud?" Lucifer let out, not knowing how to respond.

"I am not sure if they'll be proud. In fact, they might even be disgusted at me for what I've become," he smiled while responding.

"But I don't care. In my eyes, they were idiots. The idiots who couldn't make so much more of their lives if they were just a little bit more selfish."

"I don't care if they'll be proud or not. What matters is that I believe in the path I'm walking, and I am proud of it."

Lucifer said, letting out his true thoughts.

"The way you talk about your parents, it seems you don't like them much. Is there any particular reason?" Zale asked, looking confused at Lucifer.

Lucifer glanced at the dark sky momentarily. "That's not true. I did love them the most, and I still do. Without them, I won't even be here. I would still be lying in the corner of a cave, crying. To me, they are no less than gods."

"Your thoughts look complicated. On one end, you seem to adore them, and on the other end, you seem to blame them. I wonder what your parents actually did for you to feel like this..."

"I don't think I can explain. It's too complicated to express in words, and I don't feel like putting in the effort at the moment," Lucifer responded, sighing.

"I hope you can tell me one day, so I know what not to do," Zale said.

"What do you mean?" Lucifer asked, wondering if Zale had found out the truth.

Zale took a deep breath before he answered. "You know, I also want to have kids one day. Watch the little ones grow up to become fine young people like you and me one day."

"I want to teach them everything I'm going to learn throughout my life. Play with them, have fun with them... Give them the best life I could."

"However, I don't want them to detest me. So I wanted to know what your parents did so I could avoid them. Because I don't ever want to hurt my kid, even unintentionally."

"So I really hope you can tell me what they did. I will remember that and make sure to never do it again."

Lucifer simply looked at his father, talking about his future kid. He couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.

Was it what his father was thinking when taking care of him in his young days? To never disappoint his son? To make sure his son had the best life he could? To make sure he grew up to be a nice man?

"What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zale asked, seeing Lucifer stare blankly at him.

"Nothing." Lucifer turned his gaze elsewhere and continued flying.

"So, are you going to tell me what I shouldn't do?" Zale asked again.

"I think you should manage your personality. Don't be so trusting. Even your closest can betray you for no reason at all," Lucifer simply replied, issuing a vague warning.

He still hasn't decided if he should do something to change the future. Fortunately, he believed he had plenty of time to decide. He needed to look at the bigger picture of messing with the future, from all sides.

Helping his parents was good, but not if it made the current him disappear. And even then, it wasn't guaranteed that Zale could survive in the future.

Who knew? He might not even trust him. Who could trust what was going to happen in the future, after all.

....

Salazar went back to the top floor and told everyone what they found downstairs. He told the Uprising members about the proposition of Milena and how he felt that they were wrong about the Nobles, and there was a good chance they weren't involved in it.

In the end, it was decided that they were going to trust Milena once and give her a chance to see if she could find what was wrong with Lucifer.

Still, they remained wary of the Nobles to be able to counter in case they tried to pull anything.

Salazar and Cassius allowed Milena to stand before Lucifer.

She simply placed her finger on the forehead of Lucifer and closed her eyes.

His entire body started shining in a golden light as she used one of her powers that she used to consider most useless to send her consciousness inside Lucifer's head.

Within a second, she closed her eyes.

"I don't think it's going to work. I can't enter his head. There is a barrier there to stop anything from getting in. I think this might be a protection against mental attacks."

"Something like an immune response of his body after suffering a mental attack back in the Divine Empire. But it also stops other things like my consciousness. I don't think I can get in."

Milena stepped back. "His ability is becoming the biggest obstacle in us helping him."

"Is there no way we could help him?" Arthur asked, frowning.

"I think we should let him be instead of interfering. Maybe his healing will start working soon," Jiani let out.

"Nonsense. We need to help him in any way possible!" Alicia exclaimed.

"But how. We don't even know what's wrong with him! None of us can help him." Jiani responded. "Anyone have a better idea?"

"I think we should try normal methods instead. Let's take him to the medical room and see if human doctors can find what's wrong and treat him," Salazar suggested.

Seeing no other option, it was decided that they were going to do it. They were going to use the best doctor this city had to find what was wrong with Lucifer.

Unfortunately, they were soon going to find out how wrong it was. They couldn't even take the blood sample of Lucifer without his powers getting restless.

Many people in the city got hurt again because of it.

Fortunately, with Yasmine's energy negation, they could at least take a sample without anyone inside the building getting hurt.

...

After a long flight, Lucifer and Zale finally left the frozen land. However, they continued flying until they reached the nearest island where they rested. Unlike Lucifer, Zale couldn't stay up for so long, and he needed more rest.

They finished their dinner on the island before checking the directions again.. The next day, they continued their flight again, continuing to advance towards the continent of Zeston, where something very big was going to take place.
