Inhuman Warlock

Lucifer remembered one famous story of his time, which was told to him by his mother when he was a kid.

She used to repeat that story every so often. According to her, it was a made up story that was made by someone before the world came to know of the Dungeon Dwellers.

"I... I am a Pegasus," Lucifer explained.

In the story, Pegasus was the name of a Winged Horse that fought the demons to save the humans from extinction. It was also the only mythical beast he knew about, which he was hoping was unknown in this world.

"Pegasus?" Hun stopped in his tracks as he looked at Lucifer, frowning.

Looking at his frown, Lucifer wondered if something was wrong. Did he know this name?

"I don't remember hearing that name before. It's not even in our books. You must be from even farther than I thought. Anyway, can you take your real form so I can see? I am really curious as to what a Pegasus looks like," Hun said.

Lucifer couldn't help but shake his head. He had already expected a demand like this. That's why he wanted to avoid this topic n

"I can't take my real form. The same is the case for others. In my city, we are taught to live without going to our real form before people who aren't from our city. It's just something that I can do nothing about. These are the laws," he replied, making an excuse.

"Man, that's a really weird law. But I guess some cities can have really weird traditions. We also have a few weird ones that I don't understand, so I can understand where you're coming from." Hun nodded as he started climbing the stairs again.

"I'm glad you understand."

"Hey, who will understand if not friends?" Hun let out, chuckling.

The two of them stopped on the first floor.

As Hun escorted Lucifer through the corridor on the first floor, he talked about his father and how he was such a great person.

While hearing about the conquests of Hun's father, Lucifer observed the decorations in the hallways. There were many flower vases along the way, all having ice flowers. There was just so much white here that it was starting to look slightly off. These people had an obsession with white.

He was sure at this point that the warm clothes Salazar and Jenilia would get were probably going to be white as well.

Finally, after a long time, he saw something that wasn't white. Hun had stopped before a door that was red in color instead.

"Why isn't this door white like everything else?" Lucifer asked, curious. When everything was white except one thing, it made him curious.

"We don't have everything white," Hun chuckled. "Anyway, this is our library. Father often comes here to read to pass the time."

Knock~

Hun knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"You stay here. I'll call you inside when I'm finished talking with my father," Hun said as he pushed the door open. He stepped inside before closing the door.

Lucifer folded his arms and started waiting. He was wondering how his meeting was going to go with the father. Was it going to be easy? Could he also fool the father as he did with the son?

He walked back and forth, wondering when he was going to be called in. He stopped before a base that had a Frozen flower. Just as he was observing the flower, he heard the sound of footsteps.

He turned around, curious, only to find some people that had just arrived. He could see a middle-aged woman who had white hair and beautiful eyes, just like Hun.

'Must be Hun's mother,' he thought, finding the similarities too uncanny.

The middle-aged woman was being followed by a young girl who looked to be nineteen or twenty years old. He wondered if the lady was Hun's sister. The lady had snow white skin that was the fairest he had seen, but she didn't look pale.

Her eyes were full of innocence, and she looked a bit naive.

Just as Lucifer was looking at the two ladies, the two ladies also noticed him.

"Intruder?" The middle-aged woman said as her eyes turned fierce. The temperature decreased even more than before.

It looked like she was just about to attack.

"Wa-" Lucifer opened his mouth to explain. Fortunately, he didn't need to. The door opened right then, and Hun stepped out.

"You can come inside. Father wants to meet you."

"Hun? You know this intruder?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"Huh?" Hun turned back at the sound. "Ah, mother. You're back. And what nonsense are you speaking about? Why are you calling my friend an intruder?"

"F-friend?" the middle-aged man stuttered. She turned back to look at her daughter. "Yui, am I dreaming? Did he just call someone a friend?"

The young girl nodded. "You aren't dreaming. I also heard the same."

The young lady's voice fell in Lucifer's ears, sounding like a melody. He couldn't deny that her voice was slightly cute.

"What's so shocking about it? Anyway, I don't have time to talk about it. Father is waiting for him. I'll tell you later."

He took Lucifer and entered the room.

Inside the room, a man was sitting on his chair with a red book in his hand.

The man was also dressed in a white robe, but his robe looked even better than the robe of Hun. It looked like something worthy of a king. On the contrary, Hun's robe was more inviting and luxurious as if he was a young Master that wasn't scary.

The man raised his gaze. "So you are the person my son calls his friend?"

Lucifer nodded his head.

"Why did you come to this city?" The man asked.

"We were traveling for a long time, trying to see the whole world. After such a long time, we felt like we needed some recuperation and rest. We stopped at the next city we could find.

"What was the last city you saw?" The man asked casually. Even though it didn't look like he was asking anything hard, for Lucifer it was a very hard question.

He felt like this guy was interrogating a bit too much. Lucifer hadn't expected this many questions.

Moreover, he could lie about the city he was from by claiming that it was too far, but how could he lie about the last city he saw? It must be a city near this city. He couldn't make up a name for that?
