Inhuman Warlock



With each step, Lucifer's speed increased exponentially, leaving behind a trail of swirling crimson energy in his wake. It was as if time itself had slowed down for him.

However, surprisingly enough, the woman's ring shone even more brightly. She was somehow able to keep up with Lucifer's speed.

She quickly summoned a barrier of energy to shield herself, but it shattered upon contact with Lucifer's sword, the sheer force of his attack overwhelming her defenses. The impact of her barrier shattering, sent her flying back. However, she remained unharmed.

The woman wasn't alone either, as the others also joined the battle, attacking Lucifer from behind. The attacks aimed at Lucifer missed as Lucifer disappeared before the weapons could even touch her.

Instead, he appeared behind the warriors who had attacked him with a single swing of his sword, taking out one's head. The blood once again devoured his sword as the body decayed.

The torrential aura storm around Lucifer kept getting stronger as time passed.

As Lucifer raised his sword, an even more powerful aura storm could be seen in the sky, as if it was splitting the sky itself.

Lucifer's sword came slashing down, bringing forth all the devastation with it. The ground trembled beneath the force of Lucifer's strike, causing a powerful shockwave that shattered the ground itself and sent debris flying.

In that single instant, half Warriors that Talia brought with her were instantly wiped out, their bodies disintegrating into nothingness.

The aura storm surrounding Lucifer intensified even further, crackling with an otherworldly energy that seemed to devour everything in its path. It was a display of power and destruction unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.

Strangely enough, throughout this entire time, Talia didn't try to stop Lucifer at all. Instead, she watched with a mild smile on her lips as if she didn't care that Lucifer had killed half her people.

Lucifer frowned, seeing her completely carefree despite the initial losses. However, what he saw next made him realize why she was so carefree.

He could see his sword turning darker, contrary to its initial color. Not just the sword but he even felt pain spreading through his entire body, his vision blurring as if someone had cast a spell on him.

Talia's smile widened as she saw it working. She raised her right hand, as if intentionally showing the ring to Lucifer.

"Did you really believe I came here without a plan?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of amusement and triumph.

"This ring holds a power far greater than you could ever imagine. It was especially crafted by Generations of my Ancestors, all to counter your clan. Who would've thought that it'll have to be used on a small kid."

As she spoke, the darkness surrounding the sword intensified, pulsating with an ominous energy.

Although she pointed towards the ring vaguely, she didn't tell him exactly how it worked or why Lucifer was affected to this extent.

Lucifer didn't know what was in the ring or why he was affected when he didn't even touch the ring. It was as if he was getting more poisoned every time he killed one of them. lightsnovel

'Although their rings are a weaker version of mine, they still work on the same principle. The power of the rings have merged with their bodies the moment they start using it. And the moment the more he kills them, the more poisoned he gets.' Talia thought, watching Lucifer being attacked.

'Unfortunately he got his family's inheritance. Or things would've been so much simpler. But it doesn't matter. The more he kills, the weaker he shall get. Although his body will heal all the toxins after some time, that much time should be enough for us! This time, I'll go back to my family with the dead body of the last remnant!'

As the woman was lost in thought, she felt a presence behind her. At the last moment, she moved, trusting her instincts, barely avoiding Lucifer's sword.

Turning around, Talia was startled to see a young man behind her. She kept flying back, understanding Lucifer's intentions.

"Is the poison what gives you such confidence?" Lucifer asked, his eyes still calm and cold, despite his skin turning a darker shade thanks to the poison.

Although he didn't know how exactly he was affected by the poison, he had a guess. It was all because of devouring the strength of those he killed.

To protect Talia, more guards appeared before her, attacking Lucifer and blocking his path.

Thousands of spatial shackles shot out from their sleeves, grabbing onto Lucifer's wrist, ankles and throat. The other warriors also intervened, using the same method.

Since he was directly in contact with the ring that prevented his space and time restriction through the chains, he didn't use spatial travel this time. Instead, he let the shackles hold onto him.

The sky had already turned dark, shrouded by clouds. A strange symbol appeared in Lucifer's eyes as a lightning current coursed through his blood.

He had become a conduit of lightning itself.

"Arghh!" Pained cries of the Warriors filled the surroundings as Lucifer's lightning traveled through the Chains to them.

The Warriors writhed in agony as the lightning surged through the chains, their bodies convulsing from the electric shock. Their attacks faltered, and the spatial shackles weakened under the immense power coursing through them. One by one, the shackles shattered, freeing Lucifer from their grasp.

One after another, Lucifer killed the Warriors that were still paralyzed from the attack. However, this time he didn't devour them. He let their bodies fall down to the ground, along with the ring in their fingers.

He thought this might help. Unfortunately, even though he didn't devour them, he saw that the strange poison inside his body had increased only.

"So this isn't about devouring but just about killing," he muttered, glancing at Talia who was standing in the distance, as if taunting him to kill them.

"If it's poison that can't be avoided, then I'll accept it. But in any case, none of you will be returning alive today."

Even with the poison, Lucifer still used his powers, despite it affecting his body more. The illusory horns once again appeared over his head, giving him that Demonic appearance.

"Let's see who dies first."
