Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 701 - 701: The Summoner

"So, Which color do you want?" Lucifer asked Eve once again.

"Do I really need to mess with my hair? I really like the way they are."

"You don't have to. But it's more convenient. If you want, you can use other ways to cover your hair too. But it's faster. Moreover, it's more efficient as well. I leave the rest to you," Lucifer answered, closing the bag.

"Are you angry? Fine. I'll do as you say. Give me the blonde one. I always wondered how I'd look as a blonde."

Lucifer opened the bag again and gave the small bottle to Eve.

"Mix a few drops with water and apply to your hair. The effect lasts for a week or until you wash your hair in plain water."

Eve took the bottle but didn't leave. "Will you also change your hair color? Don't you need it more than me? I mean, your long silver hair does stand out."

For a minute, Lucifer didn't reply. It was only after some time that he nodded.

"I will do the same."

"Which color are you choosing then?"

Lucifer picked up the black bottle and showed Eve. "Go and finish faster. After you're done, I'll go."

"I'll be right back." Eve started leaving, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and peeked behind her. "I think you'll certainly look good in black."

"This girl..." Lucifer shook his head, watching her leave after throwing such a line.

He glanced out the window, watching clouds in the sky. "Back to the island..."

"Everything moved so fast. It seems like I was there just yesterday, studying like nothing had happened in the past. Now here I am."

"Hopefully, everything will end after this. All the problems should disappear to some extent, including the Warlock Council remnants and Xaen. That will only leave one thing to be dealt with."

He started going through the rest of the papers about his parents' history. Some of this data was already with Elisium, but the rest was discovered in the systems of the Warlock Council, which mentioned some things that weren't known by many people.

He kept going through the papers.

Around ten minutes passed before Eve finally returned. "I'm done."

She looked the same as before. The only difference was that her beautiful violet hair looked pure blonde now. It was a small change, but that small change made her look like a completely different person entirely for some reason.

"Hmm? Oh right." Lucifer kept the rest of the papers on the side along with the bag before he stood up.

"I will be right back." He left.

Eve picked up the stack of paper, wondering what Lucifer was reading.

....

Not long after Lucifer's plane left, another Plane departed from Zeston, which was supposed to take Milena on a mission of her own.

She was tasked with bringing back one of the stones that was sold in an auction.

It was such an easy task that she felt like it was similar to taking candy from kids. In fact, she didn't even feel the need to go on this mission herself.

Still, it was a mission that was important since Lucifer was going to take off her Limiter if she was successful, so she couldn't risk blowing up the chance for any reason, so she decided to actually go personally, even though she felt that it was stupid.

The plane left, taking her to another Island nation that wasn't far from her Continent of Darkness.

The Western Island was one of the biggest Island Nations, which was known for its wealth and resources. It was an island that had many natural resources. In fact, for that reason, many other nations wanted to have a good relationship with it.

It was also said that the Island didn't have many Variants of its own, but it was a good vacation spot, so many Variants went to it on vacations.

Milena had already memorized the name and the address of the person who was supposed to be the winner of the Auction. It was someone named Jonason.

According to the information she was given right before leaving the base, the man wasn't really a rich person. Instead, he worked for one of the richest men on the Island as his manager.

"Honestly, this is such a big waste of time. The man isn't even a Variant. And I need to personally go to retrieve the stone from him."

Throughout the route, she kept complaining in frustration, but she was also looking forward to being free of this bracelet and living her life in freedom.

Arthur and Jiani also left the base on a mission of their own which involved kidnapping someone. They were also given the information they needed by Kellian.

A third flight took off from Zeston in quick succession, accommodating the two of them.

Arthur and Jiani sat near each other, reading the same document.

"Arlan Sjek," Arthur commented. "The strongest Summoner still alive known by the Warlock Council. I wonder why Lucifer needs him kidnapped?"

"Who knows what the guy wants. I'm just happy that he's going to free Her Majesty after returning. Then we can go back to the Divine Empire. Just a few more days..."

"That's true, but still... I don't think he would do something for no reason at all. I just don't understand how Arlan is linked to everything?" Arthur rubbed his chin.

"Maybe Lucifer needs a Summoner to work for him? That would explain why he's sending us to the strongest Summoner?"

"Why would he ask for that man to be kidnapped then? If he just needs the guy to work, then why all this?" Arthur asked.

"Ah, do you really not know Lucifer yet?" Jiani rolled her eyes. "The guy is a showoff. Of course, he wants to intimidate the Summoner first before asking him to work. And what could be better than kidnapping the guy and keeping him hostage?"

"Maybe you're right. That does sound like something he would do," Arthur nodded. "But does he really need a Summoner? A Summoner we can kidnap doesn't sound like a powerful force. The Uprising is already very strong, isn't it?"

"It's not our job to think about what that arrogant guy wants. Just do this last thing and leave with Her Majesty. He can handle the rest from here."

....

Lucifer returned, drying his wet hair that was now dark, unlike the usual shiny silver.

"Step aside." He told Eve, who didn't realize that he was back. She was still reading the documents.

"Ah, you're back." She raised her glance, noticing Lucifer's hair. "You do look good in black.. Completely different from before. But what happened to your eyes? How did they turn black as well?"
