Inhuman Warlock

"That's true as well. No one can understand what's in the heart of a person," Lucifer muttered as he sighed.

He brought out his phone and called Vega, who was sent to the Security Chamber to deal with things.

He was told to take over that place and arrange the security to help them. All the old fingerprints were removed from the system.

Vega also got inside their system to get every hidden detail from it. Not only that, but he also killed the people that were trapped inside the ice blocks.

He was going through the details, arranging everything according to him when his phone rang.

"Yeah?" He asked, picking up the phone.

"I want you to get all the details of the prisoners in APF cells from their system," Lucifer commanded Vega. "How fast can you get me those details?"

"I'll send you all the details on your phone. It'll take five minutes only," Vega answered.

"Alright. Do it fast," Lucifer said before disconnecting the call.

Vega got to work again. He found the details of the prisoners and sent the details to Lucifer.

After sending the details, he called him again.

"I sent you all the details. There are actually two hundred and seventeen prisoners in APF at the moment, excluding the people we just put in. But there's a strange thing too that I noticed," Vega told Lucifer.

"What strange thing?" Lucifer asked, curious. What could it be that Vega noticed?

"Wait, not one. Actually, I noticed two strange things. I just saw the second thing. And I think it'll shock you too..." Vega said as he noticed a footage on the screen which he never thought he'd see.

"Tell me what they are?" Lucifer asked again.

'I'm currently looking at the screen, and I see... Your father..." Vega replied. Even he was having a hard time believing it.

"Old footage, you mean?" Lucifer inquired, thinking it was some old video of his father.

"Not old footage. It's live. He's inside the facility at the moment. I see him going towards the terrace. He's inside a lift right now. It seems like he is... Alive..." Vega said, completing his sentence.

"He is alive?" Lucifer stood up in shock as a multitude of expressions covered his face. How could it be that he was alive?

"Stop the lift right now. And tell me which floor it's at," Lucifer told Vega as he hastily left the office.

Cassius and Alicia ran after him, wondering what was happening. Who was alive? What was so urgent for Lucifer that he was so affected?

They ran after Lucifer, who stopped in front of the lift on their floor. Since Varant's office was already on the highest floor, he was on the top floor as well.

And according to Vega, the lift was going to pass through here to get to the terrace, but Lucifer had told Vega to delay the lift after knowing which floor it was on.

He also told Vega to make sure the lift stops on his floor.

…

The lift stopped right in front of Lucifer as he had commanded since Vega literally controlled everything in the base now.

The lift opened to reveal five people inside.

Lucifer's eyes were only stuck on one person in the lift though. His father...

The men inside the lift were shocked as it opened on this floor. And the people before them weren't from APF. They were trying to escape instead of surrendering but now that they were caught, they decided to attack.

As soon as the lift was opened, many attacks came towards Lucifer and others.

None of the attacks hit anyone, though. A powerful barrier appeared in front of them, which stopped all the attacks. Alicia finally got involved in the battle.

Amongst her many powers, her defense was said to be the best. It was said to be an unbreakable defence.

If Lucifer was said to be the definition of overwhelming attack power, Alicia had an overwhelming defence.

No attack passed through her barrier.

" Should I kill them all?" She asked Lucifer.

"Wait," Lucifer replied, coming out of his daze. "Take out the other four. Leave the one in the middle."

He didn't want her to attack his father, who hadn't attacked them yet.

"Alright," Alicia nodded.

She raised her other hand slowly, making four illusory knives appear out of thin air, which she shot towards the four people that Lucifer talked about.

The four attacking men dropped to the ground with a hole in their foreheads.

Alicia removed the barrier as well since the last standing man hadn't attacked a single time.

Lucifer looked at his father, who stood inside the lift. Zale Azarel looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger.

Many emotions filled Lucifer's heart as he stepped towards Zale.

"Do you recognize me?" he asked.

The man seemed confused. He didn't know who the three people before him were. All he knew was that they were from Variant Uprising.

"Who is he?" Cassius asked Lucifer, curious.

"He is my father," Lucifer replied softly.

It was only now that Zale Azarel seemingly understood something.

"You're Lucifer?" He asked Lucifer.

Lucifer repeatedly nodded his head. "It's so good to see you alive. I'm so glad that you are here."

He hugged Zale Azarel tightly.

It was only after he hugged Zale that Lucifer's smile disappeared. Electricity flickered in his arms which were hugging Zale.

"Arghhh!"

Zale's scream filled the lift as he was attacked with black electricity.

Seeing Zale scream, Cassius grew shocked. What was Lucifer doing? Was he attacking his own father?

The screams of Zale soon stopped as the light in his eyes disappeared.

Lucifer freed him, making the body of Zale fall on the ground.

"W-what did you do? Didn't you say he was your father?" Cassius asked, unable to believe what he just saw.

"Fake Father. He's an impersonator," Lucifer said as he stomped on the head of the man lying near his feet, stomping his skull.

"After the confession of Varant, I was sure that my father was dead. In any case, if they were here, then Varant would have known. He would've told me before. It could only mean one was lying. And I'm sure it wasn't Varant," Lucifer replied, sighing.

"Still, for a moment, I believed there was a possibility. A small chance that it could be true. I was hoping for it to be true that he was alive. But it's not him. My father wouldn't be harmed with any lightning. He failed the test. He's a fake," he added.

"I wish he weren't though," he muttered, dropping to his knees.
