Inhuman Warlock

Lucifer took the powers of Kellian before leaving the room; however, unlike Kellian, he didn't move with his real body.

Instead, he created multiple shadows of himself that were supposed to check each and every one to find the person who had killed Kellian.

He knew it was hard to find the person since he hadn't seen who did it, but he was sure that the person was certainly going to stand out at the moment since he was going to kill others according to his own words.

Another thing that Lucifer understood was that Andrim had lied to him about the number of heads that were in the Warlock Council Headquarters.

He said that there were only twelve, but they were already dead, and there was no way that an ordinary member was going to be allowed to live on this floor since the top floors were reserved for Warlock Leaders.

He didn't know why Andrim would lie though. Was he suspicious about him?

Many questions were in Lucifer's head, but they were all overshadowed by the anger he was feeling inside his heart.

His shadows went in each floor and found many Warlocks, most of whom were unaware that this place was under attack.

One of his shadows even reached the thirteenth floor and continued going down, but something strange happened as soon as the shadow reached the twelfth floor.

The shadow just stopped... It couldn't move anymore. Moreover, Lucifer didn't get any signal from the shadow either. It was as if the shadow had just disappeared abruptly.

Standing on the second-highest floor, he frowned at the oddity.

He sent more shadows to that floor, but the same phenomenon happened with all of them. Something was certainly wrong there, and he had a feeling that was related to that person who had killed Kellian.

He flew straight out the window and flew down, stopping right before the windows on the twelfth floor.

Instead of attacking with a spear-like before, he flew closer to the window.

He took off his gloves and placed his hand on the glass window.

The formation did try to stop him again, but they kept getting destroyed until his hand actually touched the glass, which started decaying.

...

"You all forced me." Julien declared as he swung his Sword.

His sword reached closer and closer to Eve, moments away from slicing her head.

"I agree..."

Just as the Sword was about to slice the head of Eve, a person came out of a shadow, grabbing the sword before it could touch Eve.

"Huh! What?" Eve opened her eyes, coming out of the time restriction.

She noticed Lucifer standing before her. His hand was holding onto the blade of the sword. Droplets of blood kept trickling down from his hand.

Eve couldn't understand what had happened. One moment she had opened the fridge and the next moment, there were two people standing before her.

Even though she had spent quite some time in the Warlock Council, she hadn't seen Julien use his power, so he didn't know about the power of stopping time.

All she had seen from Julien was his power to slow down time, which she didn't consider a threat to Lucifer. But she understood that something was wrong with her understanding. How could she not have seen Julien coming to her even if the time was slow?

"You can move?" Julien asked, frowning.

He had stopped the time on the entire floor so that nothing could move. How was it that Lucifer was moving then?

Honestly, Lucifer hadn't known about the power of Julien to stop time. But he had sensed that something was wrong after seeing Kellian's death. Kellian had his shadows.

Even if he was in danger, he could certainly escape, and no one could stop him! That was until there was something stopping him from leaving or turning into shadows.

Another thing that alerted him was the disappearance of the shadows on the twelfth floor.

Lucifer didn't know what it was, but he certainly knew that he didn't want to give Julien any chance to take advantage of his.

He had cast his Energy Negation in this war for the first time and especially to enter this floor, without knowing if it was needed or not.

Lucifer was looking in the stunned eyes of Julien.

All the laziness in Julien's eyes was gone as he stood before him, unaffected by his time control.

With his right hand, Lucifer kept holding the sword. There was an intimidating aura around him that was giving Julien chills.

He tried pushing the Sword to slice Lucifer's hand, but the sword didn't move even an inch as if it was unmovable.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this," Lucifer grimly said. "You must want to run."

"Ah." Julien actually felt like he was in a mess. He couldn't help but take Lucifer's advice seriously. His biggest advantage was useless against Lucifer. And if the time stop didn't work, the time slowdown wasn't going to work either.

And other than these two things and his Threat Sensing ability, he didn't have any other ability. And that Threat Sensing ability was screaming at him, telling him to run if he wanted to leave.

Julien freed the sword of Lucifer and started running, trying to save his life.

Leaving the room, he ran straight to the lift.

Milena was still stuck in time there since Energy Negation only worked in the vicinity of Lucifer.

Unfortunately for Julien, that was enough for Lucifer.

Lucifer turned into a shadow, disappearing.

The shadow appeared between Milena and Julien, and Lucifer came out of it.

He didn't attack Julien though. He let him run. He wanted to see how far he could run.

Julien turned around and started running in a different direction. Unfortunately, that direction wasn't enough to save him either as another shadow came out of the ground, blocking the path again.

The shadow didn't just block the path of Julien. Instead, it used the shadow sword of Kellian to slice towards Julien.

"Arghhh!" Julien roared in pain as his left hand was sliced. Holding his left shoulder, he ran towards the left corridor.

Finding a room, he hastily entered and closed the door.

"Good place to hide you have here," Lucifer's voice came from behind him inside the room.

"Go away!" Julien roared as he opened the door and started running away again.

Unfortunately, as soon as he left, another shadow appeared behind him. This time, the shadow sliced his other hand.

Lucifer had promised himself that he was going to show Julien hell by using Kellian's powers, and he wasn't going to let Julien die so easily.
