Inhuman Warlock

Lucifer got back to work, focusing on absorbing all the abilities from the bodies that were gathered. After working non-stop for the entire day, he finally finished.

He was starving after using so much of his powers, but he was slightly pleased that he was finally done with this monumental task without any obstruction. Now he could put his attention to where it really mattered... In eating.

"No sign of Xaen in the city?" he asked Kellian after standing up.

" My Shadows are keeping an eye on the city. No sign of him so far," Kellian replied. "Maybe he truly left."

"Maybe, but not for long," Lucifer replied.

"So, what should we do next? Go to Elisia? Go to the island? Or someplace else?"

"Next we go to a restaurant. They aren't closed, right? I'm starving."

"They aren't. The Nobles that were left behind in the city helped us handle the minor matters like cleaning the damage and instructing all the authorities about the new change in leadership."

"Most of the life is back to normal, at least to some extent. That's the case for many local businesses."

"The bigger ones that need connectivity with other cities are still closed. I was waiting for things to get calmer before removing the data lockdown."

"You don't need to hide anymore. Remove the data lockdown. Let the entire world know that the Warlock Council has fallen. The remaining rats should already know it in any case," Lucifer said, leaving the building with Kellian through the window.

"What's the update about the other Warlock Council leaders? Our men found them?" he asked.

"I did send a team to their houses after checking who was teleported where. The teams were led by Milena, Arthur, Yaliza, and our best men. Unfortunately, they didn't find anyone. The men have gone underground, it seems," Kellian answered.

"They probably know what happened here. Excluding Jian, five other Warlock Council heads are still alive if I'm not wrong."

"I think they went into hiding because they were informed by Jian Asade," he further explained. "I think we made a mistake by telling them the truth."

"Not we, I. I told him," Lucifer replied, landing on the streets.

He lazily walked on the streets, covered in bloody clothes.

As soon as he landed on the streets, the first thing which attracted him was a clothing shop near him.

The clothing shop brought so many memories back. It was the same shop where he had met Clarisse and where they stopped in the past.

He stopped before the shop, momentarily forgetting that he was looking for a restaurant.

"That reminds me, I need new clothes." He stepped inside the clothing store. Kellian stepped in behind him.

Most people here didn't know what the new leader of the city looked like, but they knew Kellian. They had seen Kellian talking to the Nobles. It was evident that this group was of them.

The store owner quickly approached Lucifer and Kellian respectfully.

"Greetings, Sir. What may I offer you?"

Lucifer didn't focus on the man. Instead, he observed the clothes.

"The shop had a better selection in the past," he said before turning around. "Nothing interesting here anymore."

He left the shop and went to the nearest restaurant. He took a table with Kellian near the window seat and called the waitress.

"You..." The waitress recognized Lucifer since he had come here in the past, but seeing Lucifer with Kellian was surprising.

" I remember you. The girl who challenged me?" Lucifer asked, smiling.

"Ah, N-not at all."

"Bring the same thing you brought last time. Let's see if I can finish it this time," Lucifer said.

"Y-yes." The woman didn't waste a single second as she ran to the back.

Within minutes, she returned with a jug filled to the brim with a straw. Lucifer picked up the straw and tossed it away before picking up a jug. He started drinking directly and finished the entire jug within a minute.

He placed the empty jug on the table, leaving the waitress surprised. How should a man drink so much this fast?

"If I remember correctly, that gives me free food?" Lucifer asked.

"Y-yes."

"Good, because I don't have any money." Lucifer smiled while talking to the waitress. For some reason, he seemed like he was in a good mood.

The girl stood stunned. It wasn't as if she was going to dare ask Lucifer for money after knowing he was with the people who took down the Warlock Council. She didn't know that he wasn't with those people; instead, those people were with him as he was the leader.

"I'm starving. And this didn't do anything for my hunger. Bring all the best dishes you have," Lucifer told the Waitress, not even checking the menu. "I leave the selection to you."

"Y-yes." The waitress turned around and left.

Lucifer's actions didn't go unseen by Kellian. "You seem to be in a good mood suddenly."

"Well, I kind of am," Lucifer smiled.

"May I ask why?" Kellian inquired.

"When I talked to Jian, I was pretty upset that I was talking to my parent's killers. However, landing in this city reminded me of something..." Lucifer replied.

"What did it remind you of?"

"Nothing, you won't understand," Lucifer replied. "Just know that I've finally understood something. It's time to put the past behind me and get over it. I've made many mistakes, trapped in my past. But now anymore."

"Moreover, now I know that there's a possibility..."

"Possibility of what?"

"A possibility of something great," Lucifer answered, looking out the window. "It's time to stop being the kid who let his emotions drive him. It's time to become..."

"Time to become what?" An amusing voice came from the back, cutting him mid-sentence.

Lucifer turned around. "Milena? You're back, it seems."

"You don't like me being back?" Milena asked, smiling. "I searched everywhere. When I couldn't find the target, I decided to come back. Others are on the way back as well."

She sat beside Lucifer.

"Anyways, now that you're becoming a new person how about taking off these bracelets?" She asked, raising her hands to show her Limiters. "That would be a nice thing. A good start."

"I said I want to be a bit different. I didn't say I want to be nicer," Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Anyway, why do you even worry? It's not like I'm limiting your powers. It's just a precaution."

"Anyways, may I ask how you came back safely? All I was told is that you're back. Did that Xaen help you? Which ability did you lose?"
