Inhuman Warlock

"Are you really trying to test me? Because just remember, you will really regret it," Jestor asked, lazily glancing at Lucifer. "You know, I can kill you in a second?"

"Go ahead," Lucifer lazily said. "Since you already threatened me, I do want to see how you can kill me."

"If that's what you want, then so be it."

Jestor teleported away from Lucifer. He appeared in the middle of the ship since he didn't want Lucifer to secretly attack him.

Lucifer smiled in response. He didn't move.

"Passengers of the ship, stop running away! Nothing will happen to you!" Jestor yelled.

He pointed towards Lucifer. "All of this is his doing! He wants to scare me by keeping you hostage. But you don't need to worry. Before he will die right here and right now."

His words made people stop. They all looked towards him, wondering what he was going to do.

Jestor raised his hand. "You will regret the moment you decided to blackmail me."

He flashed a mocking smile before he raised his right hand. He slowly brought his two fingers together, snapping them.

Snap~

The sound of the snap was drowned in the roaring sounds of the clouds; however, what followed was something that Jestor hadn't expected.

His calm expressions disappeared as he noticed that Lucifer was still calmly sitting on the chair.

"H-how?"

He tried again, but still, nothing happened. Frowning, he looked in a different direction and snapped his finger again, testing on a distant object.

This time his ability worked as the chair disappeared.

"Why isn't it working on him then?" he asked himself, trying again and again. Nothing happened though.

"Let me guess. You wanted to use your teleportation to kill me? Probably by teleporting me to the bottom of the ocean or something?" Lucifer asked, smiling.

"That's the thing with you Teleporters. You are so difficult to kill, but you are also mostly harmless as long as the right person stands before you."

He had already tested this theory in the past. The person who could Teleport was able to do it even under the Energy Negation field, as long as he used it on himself or the thing he was touching.

On the other hand, if he tried to use this on other objects, the Energy Negation stopped it.

"I told you about the two people with similar powers to you, right?" Lucifer asked. "There was a third person as well. But he used mostly borrowed power to it. It was fun to kill him as well."

He even rested one leg above the other as if he was on a vacation, looking at his prey.

"Come on, do something! Time is passing. You only have two minutes to show me on what basis you dared to threaten me. Either you show me that, or you die along with everyone else on this ship. The choice is yours."

"Why isn't it working on you? Just what are you?" Jestor asked, taking a step back.

"Who am I?" Lucifer asked, smiling. "Didn't I already give my introduction before? I am Lucifer... Also known by many other names such as Demon, Devil, and so on. You can call me by any name you prefer."

"Still, you only have less than two minutes. After that, you won't be capable."

"All this talking is making me thirsty. I was already hungry as well. I already told you I get cranky when I'm hungry, didn't I? You can't blame me anymore."

"Oh, and one more thing. I can see you people moving in the back. If anyone tries to leave the deck before me, you'll regret it as well."

"Come on, Jestor. Only sixty seconds. Do something. I don't want to have to destroy the ship just because of you. So please stop me."

Each word of Lucifer fell in the ear of Jestor, punching his self confidence. It was as if he was really weak before the guy on the chair who kept mocking him.

"Fine! If that's the way, then so be it. I didn't want to get blood on my own hands, but I won't hesitate now!"

Jestor disappeared. However, he didn't appear again for the next ten seconds. Everyone wondered if he had run away in fear, leaving them in trouble.

'All he had to do was ask for forgiveness. But he really wants to go that far, don't he?" Lucifer commented, sighing.

Jestor once again appeared behind Lucifer. This time, he was carrying a knife in his hand.

Appearing like an assassin from the back, he thrust the knife in the back of the throat of Lucifer.

"See? The consequences of being arrogant?" Jestor asked. "You chose a wrong ship to show your arrogance on."

Clap~

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The sound of clapping came from the back. "See? You are so predictable."

"W-what?" Jestor was stunned to hear the voice of Lucifer coming from behind him.

The figure he had stabbed dispersed like a shadow that never existed.

"What the..." Jestor teleported, appearing in the distance in fear.

"Time is up. You failed, my friend." A shadow appeared behind Jestor, whispering in his ears.

Horrified, Jestor teleported once again. His heart was thumping like crazy.

Meanwhile, the real Lucifer once again appeared on the chair.

"And that's why you should never threaten someone like me. I hope you got your lesson."

Lucifer snapped his finger, making the clouds disperse, letting the sunlight fall on the deck again.

"Don't worry though. I was only having some fun with my friend here. You can rest easy. I'm not going to kill you all, at least not until any of you think threatening me is a good idea."

Lucifer stood up, stretching his arms. "Enough fun for the day."

He glanced at Jestor in the distance, who was glaring at Lucifer like a scared bunny.

"You don't need to be scared. I just wanted to show you how foolish you were being. I'm not going to kill anyone today. At least not until you do this foolishness again."

He turned to leave.

"Oh wait, I forgot something." He stopped right before the stairs. "One should always clean up after themselves."

He casually waved his finger, using his winds to bring the chair he was sitting on to its original place, acting just like Jestor did.

He went downstairs.

"This guy..." Joan was in awe of Lucifer after seeing him in action. "He is amazing! He is so strong! He is like a god! I don't care what his personality is like, but I really want him as a son-in-law. There is no way the dark-haired one could be as strong as him."
