Inhuman Warlock

"Oh, that day will certainly come. Don't worry about it. And it won't be too far either," Lucifer declared.

"Veracity? Was everything he told the truth?" he asked Veracity.

"He told the truth. He hasn't lied a single time so far," Veracity answered.

"That's good. Now the next question. How did you all do it? How did you kill him? Even if he was inside the Dungeon, he should be strong. He also took the team with him, and he had my mother, so how did you all do it?" Lucifer asked his next question.

This was also an important question in his head. How did they actually do it?

"Poison," Varant answered.

"What the..."

Ayn's mouth opened wide as she heard the words of Varant. Could they be any more evil? Not only did they kill him, but they did it by using the cowardly way of poisoning?

"Poison, huh. I'm not surprised. I don't know why but I didn't expect anything else from you. That's all you're worth," Lucifer replied, sighing.

" That was the only way we could think of to end everything without causing any battle," Varant answered.

"If you had done it outside, there would have been an inquiry. People would have known they were poisoned, and the person who did it would be caught," Lucifer guessed.

" In any case, I doubt you could even make them drink anything like that when they remained at home most of the time, and they didn't drink beer or anything. Is that why you sent them to the dungeon?" he asked.

"That's right. It was impossible to poison them in their home. And they didn't drink anything outside. And they only went to a family restaurant. They were the gods of that restaurant."

" We couldn't ask the restaurant owners to poison their food. They would've leaked the information to your parents. We would be in trouble," Varant answered.

"So we all planned this. Raia and I started our battle in a city to show that we were busy. And Zeiss entered a different dungeon to show that he was busy too. That's when the Hunter Union asked your parents' help," he continued.

"Most of the team was selected by your father, but we also managed to slip one of our men inside the team. He was responsible for poisoning their food," he further explained as he laid helplessly on the ground.

"So the footsteps that were seen coming out of the Dungeon... They belonged to that traitor?" Lucifer asked.

"That's right. He was the only one who came out," Varant answered.

Lucifer took a deep breath as he tried to digest all the information. This one scheme was all it took to kill the strongest beings on this earth.

He couldn't help but wonder how amazing it would be if his parents had his healing too. They would be immune to poison like him. They wouldn't have died because of this cheap trick.

"Give me the name of the person who poisoned my parents? Where will I find him?" Lucifer asked.

"He is known as Adam Turner. He is a member of the Rank 1 guild. The strongest guild which is affiliated to the Hunter Union," Varant answered.

He knew that it was going to get that guy killed, but it didn't matter anymore.

Varant had stopped caring about others at this point. In any case, he was sure that Zeiss would answer this question if he didn't.

"One last thing. Where is the stone? One of the seven that you kept?" Lucifer inquired.

Hearing the question, Varant was stunned. This guy really wanted to do that?

"I will never tell you. Go ahead and kill me," Varant said firmly.

"It's in your base, have it?" Lucifer asked.

It was at that point, Varant flinched. This gave Lucifer all the answers he needed.

"As expected, after you buried it, it was discovered. Then you kept it in the base to protect it better. Don't worry, that's all I needed. I have ways to get that from your base," Lucifer let out, smiling.

"I think this is enough. Time for you to go," he said as he took off his right glove.

Varant understood what was coming. He had already expected this. His gaze roamed around the room, taking one last look. His eyes stopped on Ayn.

"How could you do it? I would never have expected this from you!" Ayn let out, seemingly heartbroken.

Everything she believed was a lie. And everything she thought to be a lie was the truth now. She felt defeated, as if her moral standing had gone down suddenly.

Varant didn't reply. He had no answer to this question. He simply stopped looking at her, prepared for his inevitable death.

Lucifer placed his finger on the forehead of Varant, letting his decay take effect.

'I feel this death is too merciful for what you all did, but this way, I can get stronger.' Lucifer thought as he saw the body of Varant decaying.

Varant felt the same pain that Raia did. He clenched his lips to not scream but even still, it was proving hard.

Ultimately, he couldn't help but scream in pain.

The room, which was completely silent until now, was filled with screams. And the screams only stopped when Varant ultimately turned to dust.

Lucifer stood up and walked to a chair nearby after wearing his gloves. He picked the chair and sat facing Ayn.

"See? You're all hypocritical fools. You'll kill anyone and everyone when you think you need it. And you'll even try to justify it," he told Ayn. "I am also the same. I'll kill anyone and everyone I need, but I can still never be as cheap as you all."

"He was like that... Raia was like that, and Zeiss would be like that. And people like you would always be toys for them. They'll use you while pretending to have virtues. You're all nothing but foot soldiers that didn't fall for their fake ideology," he further added.

"So I leave two choices before you. If you have really seen the hypocrisy of your side, wake up and help me in my quest. The second choice is that you die. Just like him, I'll give you three seconds."

Ayn was already overwhelmed as she felt betrayed by Varant when Lucifer presented these choices to her.

"Varant was wrong, but as you said. We were all ignorant fools. We didn't do anything wrong! Our aim and everything we did was to help others. I won't let you destroy everything because Varant was wrong. I'm sorry," Ayn responded.
