Inhuman Warlock

Both of Franci's sons have died right before his eyes. They were killed by Lucifer.

Franci was so angered after realizing what had happened that his eyes turned blood red in anger. At first, he was against killing Lucifer but had to stay behind since he favored his son.

Now that Lucifer had killed both his sons, his family had no heir left. His entire bloodline was killed.

"You..."

"Me what?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "I killed both your sons. If you were going to say that, I already know."

"You will die!" The left half of Franci turned dark, returning to the purest form of energy, making it seem like he was made purely of dark energy.

The other half of his still looked normal like before; however, his eyes were shining blood red.

The sky was covered in dark clouds, but still, some flickering of lighting could be seen, occasionally brightening the sky.

After Franci turned, even that wasn't visible. Everything turned dark. The clouds were covered in a black mist, and so did the hospital.

Before long, everything had turned dark. No one could see anything in this darkness, especially Lucifer. It was as if he had gone blind momentarily.

He brought his glasses out of his pocket to use the night vision, but something hit his hand before he could wear the glasses.

The glasses flew away, landing on the ground, but they weren't alone. He could also feel that three of his fingers were suddenly missing now. His fingers were cut by something.

"Is that how-"

He tried speaking, but before he could even finish his sentence, he felt pain in his left hand. His hand was cut from his wrist. It fell to the ground.

Lucifer cast a barrier around himself, slightly amused at the tactics of Franci. He finally understood why Franci was called the hunter of darkness. He was like a Ghost while his prey was blond in darkness.

Even though he cast a barrier around him, he noticed that something sliced his other hand as well. His other hand fell on the ground as well.

"The mist isn't just mist. It's like your weapon. Very amusing," Lucifer smiled. "Since it's everywhere, no matter how I cast the barrier, it'll be inside it. It's like the wind. Clever tactics."

"Killing you won't bring back my boys," A voice came from everywhere. "But..."

"But it'll make you feel good." Lucifer finished the sentence of the man. "Is that what you wanted to say? I know the feeling. That exact feeling is what I'm craving with Xaen."

"You could've done so much good. But you've fallen so far. Hopefully, in your next life, you'll make the right decisions," Franci said, sighing.

"I wanted to give a good show to the people of this island, but you made it impossible. They can't see anything in this darkness."

"You're about to die, and you're still acting so confident? Just what I'd expect from my student. One shouldn't lose calm even in the face of death and die with dignity."

"Who says I'm calm because I'm about to die?" Lucifer responded. "I'm calm because I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in you. You forgot your own teaching, it seems."

"What teaching?'

"Even when the enemy is on the backfoot, never get too cocky. Don't talk too much and finish the enemy fast. You don't know what they might be capable of. Remember something?" Lucifer asked, sighing.

His hands had grown back by now as well. Franci noticed his hand, growing surprised. It was the first time he was seeing Lucifer's healing.

"I'll follow the advice then. This time it won't be your hands. This time it'll b-"

"This time, it'll be your neck." Lucifer sighed, finishing the sentence again.

Franci did as he said. Lucifer felt something slicing against his neck.

Boom~

Just as something touched Lucifer's neck, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky, covering the entire surroundings of Lucifer. This time, the bolts didn't even avoid Lucifer and fell on him.

On their way to the ground, the bolts destroyed everything that stood in their path, including the mist. The dark mist kept disintegrating, unable to bear the destructive force of the lightning.

Franci looked up, stunned. The range of lighting was so big that he knew he couldn't avoid it.

He couldn't believe that Lucifer was prepared to kill both of them. However, he was still a bit satisfied that Lucifer was going to die as well. He didn't stop thrusting his sword, which kept penetrating deeper and deeper into Lucifer's throat.

Thud~

The lightning bolts fell on the ground, destroying everything. The men of the Franci Family that were standing around them also couldn't avoid the lighting. Not a single one of them managed to escape.

An old man opened his eyes, stunned. Lucifer wasn't before him. He also didn't have his sword. What's worse was that he felt a soul crushing pain in his body.

He looked to his left, noticing the cameras that were focusing on them.

It didn't take him long to realize that he was in the media helicopters. As for how he got there, he didn't understand. It was as if one moment he was killing Lucifer, and the next moment he was here.

He looked down, realizing his chest had a big hole in it.

The man dropped to the ground, unable to breathe. He still didn't understand how it happened.

"Looking for it?" Lucifer's calm voice came, following his footsteps. He stepped before Franci and sat on his knees.

Franci's heart remained in his hand.

" I'm sorry that you had to die like this. I know you would've been happy to die in the lightning, thinking you killed me as well. But that wouldn't be good. I want everyone to see your death. And more importantly, I didn't want my clothes to be damaged."

"I wish things didn't have to be this way?" Lucifer said, turning Francis's face towards the camera again.

"Ai... Cough..."

Franci tried to speak, but only blood came out of his mouth. His body went limp.

Lucifer looked at Franci, the man who taught him things when he was a student at the academy. The man who taught him about the world when Lucifer had lost his memories.

Franci's eyes were still open even when he died. Lucifer closed his eyes carefully. "Rest in peace, old man. I am sure you wouldn't want to be in this world for what's about to happen next here."

Lucifer stood up and turned to the Camera.

"Is it running?" he asked the staff in the helicopter that was shivering.

"Y-yes."
