Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 837: Forever here

"Now that you're here, I suppose we can begin," the King of Dungeon Dwellers smiled as he kept stepping closer to Lucifer. "We already waited a long time for your arrival."

Lucifer knew he wasn't here to meet friends based on how they invited him. Letting these people get close to him was a mistake. He kept stepping back, soon reaching the wall from which he had entered; however, he couldn't pass through the wall to go back.

"The entrance is closed. You can only come here, but you can't leave," the man said, sighing. "It's that damn barrier. Just like us, you're also sealed here."

"Anyway, we aren't your enemies. We just want to leave this place just like you'll want to leave this place. Since you're trapped here, you can't leave. You'll need our help to leave, and we'll need yours. We need to work together if we want to leave," he added, stopping just as he was a few meters away from him.

"Who are you?" Lucifer asked. He didn't directly attack for two reasons. First, he had a feeling that if he attacked, he wasn't going to win. The man was just in a completely different league altogether. He could feel it. It was as if he was a man who was standing before a god.

"I am Licorice, the King of the Baltics," The man responded.

"Baltics?"

"Oh, you call us the Dungeon Dwellers," Licorice smiled. "However, we are the proud Baltics from a distant world which was destroyed by a beast. We escaped and came here, only to realize that we were locked here. We couldn't leave. That's why we need your help."

"Dungeon Dwellers who look like humans?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "Why would I help you get out? Don't you just want to destroy the world? If I let you out, it'll be even easier for you to do it with your strength. Even though I don't care about the destruction you cause, it's still the world I need to live in. Why would I do anything for you?"

"If not for us, how about doing it for yourself, your friends, and your family?" Licorice lazily stated as he turned around. "I won't force you. I'll leave the decision to you. If you want to get out, work with us."

"However, before I leave, let me remove a misconception of yours. We Baltics don't like killing anyone. We don't even want to destroy the earth. It's just the lower-ranked Baltics who haven't evolved. They couldn't control themselves in new surroundings, scared at what happened last time."

"If we were outside, we could've stopped them, but we couldn't. We were trapped here, destined to watch them attack the innocent creatures of this world. Trust me, that's not our intention. That's all I'll leave you with. If you think you can trust us and want to help, come after us. If not, you can just sit there since there is no way out anyway."

Licorice left as calmly as he came. His four followers also left, following closely behind.

Lucifer had expected them to attack him, not that wasn't what happened. What happened was completely against what he had assumed. Confused, he started following after them.

He tried to catch up to Licorice, but the four followers blocked his path. "What are you trying to do?"

A barrier appeared between the two sides. Seeing the running approach of Lucifer, everyone thought he was about to attack Licorice.

"It's alright. Let the little one come." Licorice chimed in as he snapped his fingers. A single snap of his destroyed the barrier of his followers.

The men and women stepped aside at the commands, allowing Lucifer to pass through.

Lucifer started walking right beside Licorice. "You said I'll listen to you for me, my friends, and my family. What did you mean by that?"

"Hmm? Did you not watch what was on that phone?" Licorice asked, frowning.

"Which phone?" Lucifer inquired, confused. Which phone? It had been decades since he had touched a phone. Even now, he couldn't hold one because he didn't have his gloves. "What are you talking about?"

"The phone that Jestil gave you last time he met you?"

"He didn't give me any phone. All he did was kill a person, and for that, I'm going to kill him for sure," Lucifer responded, taking a glance back at the dark-cloaked man.

"He's talking about the phone I gave you during our last meeting where I invited you to come here," Jestil chimed in. "Don't tell me you didn't check that phone?"

"I suppose that meeting was around a week ago? Because I don't remember anything that happened before this week," Lucifer explained.

"Ah, that would explain why you didn't come here. And I thought you just didn't care about your parents," Jestil chuckled. "It looks like I didn't need to kill that old lady to make you furious. The poor lady died a dog's death for no reason. Oh well, all well that ends well."

Hearing him laugh at the death of the girl, Lucifer grew even more upset. Fortunately, Jestil didn't give him the same feeling that Licorice and the four others gave him. He could attack that guy and had the confidence to win.

Moreover, he didn't have to worry about Licorice attacking him since he already understood that he was the key that could get them out. Since he was of such high importance, he could literally do anything as long as he didn't go overboard and get believed killing Jestil wasn't going overboard.

Without much thought, Lucifer swung his hand, shooting a lightning bolt.

"Hehehe, I'm not as easy as my brother for you to kill," Jestil's laughter echoed as his body turned to mist. The lightning bolt passed through his body.

Unlike the real Lucifer, this one only had strength, lightning, decay, and wind. He had nothing that could hurt the mist form of Jestil.

Still, he didn't hold back. He flew towards Jestil. "It's not the end yet. The end will be when you die."

"Lucifer, calm down. You can't defeat him," Licorice reminded Lucifer, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he stopped his four generals from interfering in the battle.

The battle began as Lucifer fought a misty creature, trying to get an attack in whenever Jestil came to his real form from the mist, which was right after every dispersal. However, Jestil was so fast to disperse again that he successfully avoided all the attacks.

The attacks created loud explosions, the sound of which traveled far and wide. Some of those explosions even fell in the ears of Lucifer... The real one.

"Something is happening! Stay alert and keep yourself hidden!" Lucifer exclaimed as he shot ahead.
