Inhuman Warlock

"He didn't bring the tsunami," Eve answered, shaking her head. "In fact, the tsunami was quite natural. He had no hand in it."

"Then?"

"The Tsunami didn't kill the family of your Grandpa Chi. It's true that the Tsunami did kill many villagers, but quite a lot of the villagers survived the Tsunami as well. The old man's family was one of the few survivors," Eve explained.

"Don't tell me Xaen killed them instead?' Lucifer asked. "If Grandpa Chi was the leader of Dark Variants, there's no way he couldn't differentiate between two different kinds of deaths."

"You think Xaen didn't think of this? When he came to check the destruction in the village after everything was over, he noticed the family members of Grandpa Chi who were carrying some important things they saved from the house."

"Unfortunately for them, the things they were carrying contained the portrait of the entire family together, which included Grandpa Chi. Xaen recognized them and understood everything. However, he didn't just kill them personally."

"Instead, he made some portals appear under them which had an outlet at the bottom of the ocean. The family members of the old man died, unable to breathe at the bottom of the ocean," Eve explained.

"After they were dead, Xaen brought their bodies back without even touching them. He didn't leave any trace behind. He left just as silently as he came."

"Not long after he was done, the old man finally reached there with his warriors, only to find many dead bodies belonging to the people who died in the tsunami. His family members were one of them."

"In the end, the old man was broken by the death of his family members and blamed himself for it. He blamed himself for not being there when his family needed it. For his bigger goals, he left his family behind, and now they were gone forever."

"I don't think even Xaen could have expected such a good outcome, but it happened. The old man, also known as the Dark Wizard at the time, disbanded his organization and disappeared."

"After a year, he returned, now as a different person with a different mindset. The enthusiastic Dark Wizard was now nothing but an old man who cared for nothing in this world. He lived an ordinary life in the village where his family had died, according to him."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Lucifer asked, slowing his steps.

He had met Eve a long time ago, and he was sure that Eve knew about his relationship with the old man and Xaen. Why didn't she tell him about Xaen in the past? He couldn't understand.

"It was all in the past. Everything was fine now. Xaen became friends with the old man after he stopped supporting the Dark Variants. I don't want to raise the issue again to throw everything away."

" The truth would've set them against each other. The things which were balanced would've been tossed in turmoil. How would I know that he was going to target you... I thought he had changed after so long."

"I've seen him for a long time. He hasn't done anything like that in so long that I thought he changed..."

Lucifer sighed, shaking his head.

"Thoughts are always biassed. We think what we want to think, no matter how far from reality that may be."

He further continued. "The reason you don't see him do anything like that is because he didn't need to. The Dark Variants were home. Why would he need to do things like that again? But that doesn't mean his core personality changed."

"Eve, would you do one thing for me?" Lucifer asked Eve after thinking for a little.

"What?" Eve inquired.

"I think I can handle things from here. I can use the glasses to find the clan. But now that I know about Grandpa Chi's strength, I think it would be good to have him join us."

"It would certainly be good. He is quite strong indeed."

"Exactly. That's why I think we should split. Go to Grandpa Chi. I'm sure you know where he lives. Tell him the truth and bring him here. In the meantime, I'll create a base for us here."

"You want me to leave you alone?" Eve asked, frowning.

Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Do you think you're my babysitter or something? I have fought alone most of the time. You don't need to worry about me. Go and bring Grandpa Chi here."

"Are you sure?" Eve asked once again. "I really don't think we should separate."

"Nothing will happen. Stop stressing yourself," Lucifer responded. "We can cover more bases like this. Moreover, we can stay in contact. If you don't find him in the village, you can just return."

"Here, take this mask. It was created for me, but you'll need it more since you'll be turning into me. Take this cap as well."

He gave some items to Eve to help her hide her identity.

"I would still advise you to avoid turning into me if you can." After finishing, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Eve remained standing in the back, watching the shadow leave.

She shook her head. "There he goes alone. I don't know why, but I have a really bad feeling. I hope I'm worrying needlessly. I should get the old man back fast."

She turned into Lucifer and wore the face mask and the hat before turning into a shadow. She left in a different direction than Lucifer.

...

Milena's flight also landed on the small island nation near the Continent of Darkness. Since she didn't need to hide her face, she openly stepped out of the airport.

She stopped a taxi and stepped inside. "Take me to the Cloud Mansion on Central Street."

"Ah, mam? Do you work at the mansion?"

"Nope."

"Then you have an appointment?"

"I suppose something like that."

"Good. Because you won't be allowed there if you don't. I just didn't want you to waste your money. There are many travelers who come here and ask to go to that place for sightseeing. Honestly, they just waste money since they can't even get in."

"And then they complain about our island, calling us scammers after they leave. That's why I thought I should inform you first."

"Don't worry. I'm not worried about money." Milena smiled. "Just take me there. I'm sure I'll get an entry myself."

The driver started the car, taking Milena to the place known as the Cloud Mansion, where the richest man on the island lived.. But the man wasn't famous and feared for his wealth.
