Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 762

Chapter 762

Even with so many organizations and so many Variants, it was hard to keep Dungeons secure. What was going to be the situation when those people didn't exist?

To achieve his goal of a world that was exactly as he imagined, Lucifer was removing a layer of defense from this world. He alone couldn't control all Dungeons all around the world. Alexi knew that Lucifer was walking on a dangerous path.

He couldn't see the future, but he knew that the future was going to be very different. If it was going to be a better place or a worse one, that was the question.

Lucifer was trapped in the new barrier, which survived even the attack of thunder. It truly was a powerful barrier, just as the old Minister described.

"You still have time. Tell us where you hid her body. Tell us, and we would be lenient in our punishment."

"So you saw all my abilities and planned accordingly. I knew the tech of the next generation would be good, but this is better than I thought."

"An attack that casts a barrier around me which can resist my attacks. The Gloves which can protect you from my attacks and something to help you fly. It seems a trip to Atlantis would be very fruitful."

"Trip to Atlantis? As our prisoner? We can think about it if you tell us where that body is. You'll be allowed to live."

"Tell you where she is so you all can kill her like you did last time?" Lucifer asked.

The old man's brows raised slightly as he heard Lucifer. "How do you know? Who told you?!"

"Who else? The girl you're trying to take. People like you will never change, right? Take help from someone and then betray them? You call yourself better than Variants? Why?"

"What's different in you? Your heart is just as corrupt as the ones I've come across. You think you're the good guy, but you're no different than the Variants who kill innocent people for no reason at all."

"You are wrong! We aren't monsters like you Variants! We only do what's good for our survival! On the contrary, you Variants kill innocent humans who couldn't even threaten you. Compared to you monsters, we're angels, doing what we need to survive."

"Monsters? There's a monster inside all of us. The only difference is that I don't hide my Monster. You do, pretending to be a Saint for your people."

"The reason you killed Eve was not for your survival. She wasn't a threat to anyone. Instead, she was the reason you all survived for so long. It's just your selfish nature that came out, compelling you to dispose of her."

"Am I right?"

"Enough of your nonsense! I am not here to hear you talk nonsense! Tell me where she is! With each passing second, the sphere will keep getting smaller."

"If you don't answer, you'll be crushed to your death!"

As he finished speaking, the sphere started getting smaller.

His red gloves also returned back to the usual white as his body returned to normal now that there was no risk.

"This barrier is good. And so is your technology, understanding my skills, and formulating a plan. But you missed one thing."

"What?"

Instead of answering, Lucifer simply stretched his arms, touching the walls of the barrier.

"Are you talking about your strength? That won't help you either. As I said, we planned for everything."

"Hmm?" Lucifer frowned, touching the walls of the border. It wasn't because he was surprised that his strength couldn't break it but because he could feel his fingers burn.

The surface of the barrier was molten hot. His attempt to decay the barrier was cut short as his fingers were destroyed as soon as he touched the barrier.

Not even the bones of his hands were left intact since he waited a short time before taking his hand off.

"Was that an attempt at decaying? I'll repeat myself one last time. We've seen all your abilities, even the ones you used briefly in battles."

"Generally, the barrier would've sent electricity roaring down a person's body, but especially for you, there is no lightning since that doesn't affect you. Instead, it's the flaming heat. How will you decay it if you can't even touch it?"

Lucifer looked down at his burnt head that was slowly recovering. Things were indeed complicated. He had sacrificed most of the abilities to evolve Time. Now he barely had any new abilities left that weren't his usual ones or defensive.

His sonic scream wasn't of help either in this case.

"Are you really willing to die for that girl? Why don't you tell us? You can avoid all this pain! Why are you taking this risk for her?"

Despite the barrier moving closer to him, Lucifer didn't open his mouth. Instead, he simply folded his arms and closed his eyes as if he was lost in thought.

The white robed guard moved closer to the old man, bringing his lips closer to the man's ears. "Sir, are we really going to kill this guy?"

"His Majesty strictly told us that we need to kill him, but we also need to recover the body of Lady Eve. If we kill him, we'll finish the first part of the mission, but what about the second part? Recovering Lady Eve seems more important. I don't think we can kill him."

"You idiot, do you think I don't know that? I am also doing it to get answers. However, what can I do if he doesn't answer. I can't beg him to tell us! Don't worry though; as soon as the barrier touches his body, he'll understand what it feels like when you drown in molten lava.'

"Even he won't be able to resist. He seems confident, but we'll see how confident he is then! He will tell us everything we want to know. We just need to create some fear in his heart."

"His entire hand was burnt, but he didn't even flinch. Are we sure he'll say anything?"

"I can also see that much. That's why I have played other cards as well. The sphere is slowly being filled with fear-inducing has. Soon, he'll be shivering in fear like a car. And when that fear meets the extreme pain of his body being burnt, let alone him, even his father will talk."

"I hope so." The young man stepped back and just observed Lucifer, hoping to get answers. He knew what was at stake.. If he couldn't get answers, not only the Minister but even he was going to be killed.
