Inhuman Warlock

Kellian had just received the information that Dallas succeeded in the mission. The plane of the Warlock Council was down.

He had already commanded both Dallas and Tristan to return before he left his office, prepared to meet the Guild Leaders of Guilds that were affiliated to the Hunter Union.

The Guild Leaders of the top fifty guilds were called here for this meeting. As for the weaker guilds, they were going to be informed of everything over a message.

The Guild Leaders were forced to wait for hours, making a few of them impatient.

Despite having to wait, none of them even dared to make a ruckus. The reputation of Variant Uprising was much different than the reputation of Hunter Union.

If anyone created trouble here, it was clear that they were going to be killed. Uprising controlled everything now.

"How long do we have to wait? I have a feeling that it's all intentional. They want to make us wait to establish themselves as superior," the Leader of Rank 2 Guild commented.

He was a bulky man who was completely bare chested at the moment.

"Yeah. That should be the case. I use this trick as well," Another guild leader affirmed.

Most of the Guild Leaders agreed that Uprising actually didn't have anything important to do. It's just that they were intentionally making them wait.

"Unfortunately, we can't do anything but wait. Hunter Union is gone. We're too weak to stand against the Uprising. Moreover, I don't think any of us can face the kid who defeated Varant, can we?" The leader of the Rank 5 guild said, sighing.

Everyone else also sighed, realizing their own positions.

"That's true. We can do nothing but wait." A man said who had been silent since the start. He was the Guild Leader of the Rank 1 Guild under Hunter Union.

He was also the strongest of all the Guild Leaders present here.

There was also one more person here, sitting in the back. Previously, he happened to be the leader of one of the top ten Guilds, but after an unfortunate event, most of his guild was wiped out.

After that, he still continued the Guild, but its ranking fell. It was now ranked eleventh. It was known as the Red Eagles Guild.

As for the unfortunate event that happened, it was caused by Lucifer himself when he annihilated most of the Red Eagle Guild. And the ones that survived were killed by Dungeon Dwellers that attacked the city.

The Red Eagle Guild Leader was known as Derek Quinn. He was a blonde-haired man dressed in a red jacket. Based on his looks, he seemed to be in his early thirties.

At the time when Lucifer had the conflict with the Red Eagles Guild, he happened to be inside a Dungeon with his team. It was only after he came out that he found out about what happened to his guild.

Since then, he had been searching for Lucifer.

He had almost given up hope of ever finding Lucifer after so many years passed.

Surprisingly, just as he gave up on his revenge, he saw the broadcast on TV which mentioned Lucifer becoming the new leader of Uprising and of Elisium.

As he saw Lucifer on the screen, flames of revenge were reignited inside his heart.

He had decided to come to the Capital City to take out Lucifer himself, but before he could, he got a message that he was invited for a meeting by the Uprising.

He immediately accepted the invitation and came straight here, waiting for the right opportunity to face Lucifer.

The gates of the hall opened, and four men stepped inside, led by Kellian. He was followed by three powerful Warlocks of the Uprising.

"I apologize for making you all wait. I was caught in important work. Now that I'm here let's start," Kellian said as he took the main seat. The other Warlocks stood behind him.

"What do you mean? Why isn't Lucifer here?! How can the meeting start without him?" Derek complained.

Hearing his complaints, Kellian frowned.

"May I ask why it matters to you if our leader is here personally or not? You're just the Guild Leaders. You're not the Hunter Union leader or a Warlock King for him to meet you."

"Also, I would advise you not to lose your manners. He's our leader. You can't address him by name. He's not your friend," he said, not being kind at all.

"You-" Derek didn't know how to reply to this. He had just asked where Lucifer was, and Kellian snapped.

"I am just saying that it would've been nice if he was here as well. I mean, we'll be working for him from now on. He should at least meet us," Derek improvised, improving his tone. He couldn't lose control before meeting Lucifer.

"He'll meet you when he wants to. That's all I'll say," Kellian lazily replied. "Now, back to the topic."

"We called you here to inform you about the changes that will be made going forward. These are important changes, so you must listen carefully."

"Firstly, I'm sure that you know about it, but the Hunter Union is no more. You'll work for us from now on. As for your work, it'll be the same as before. You need to keep the Dungeons in control."

"Next, we're making a Hunter Oversight Committee. It'll consist of Uprising Members."

"Every month, they'll inspect your Guilds and check your progress and the status of the dungeons under you. It's all so that things can move smoothly. I hope you'll support the committee."

"Another thing, If it is discovered by the oversight committee that any of you were scheming against the Uprising, you'll face the wrath of Uprising."

"So I hope you'll keep that in mind. Don't do anything stupid because we have ways to know."

Kellian kept talking about the new rules that all Guilds needed to follow. Most of these weren't too shocking. The Guild Leaders didn't oppose any of the rules.

Only the thing about the Hunter Oversight Committee was surprising. It meant that they were constantly under the radar of Uprising now.

It was also understandable. The Uprising was now ruling Elisium. They were taking steps to make sure no one could betray them.

"And lastly, whenever we need you, you must come at once. It doesn't matter what you're doing."

"When we're under attack, you need to come to support us. If you don't come despite our call, you'll be considered a traitor. And you'll be disposed," Kellian spoke about the final rule.

"So, do any of you have objections? If you do, now is the time to speak," he reminded everyone before he sat calmly, waiting for a response.
