Inhuman Warlock

"I suppose you're the one I'm here for?" Jian asked as if he was looking at Milena for the first time.

Seeing the gaze of Jian on her, Milena felt as if a poisonous viper was observing her.

Seeing Jian's eyes open, Milena felt like something was wrong. His barrier had managed to protect him against her Wind Blades which was the most surprising part for her.

She was using her Energy Negation constantly, and even then, he was able to cast his barrier? His barrier overwhelmed the energy negation of Milena as well, working even now.

Not only did the barrier protect him, but the sword that Milena had tossed away also flew back to Jian, falling straight into his hands.

....

Kellian called Kane using the phone he had received from Arthur.

Kane initially ignored the call as he was busy talking with Lucifer. However, the constant ringing of the other phone made it difficult for him to ignore it.

He gestured for a teammate to pick up the phone as he continued talking to Lucifer. "I can understand that you lost your memories but so much has happened in the last eight years, mostly because of you."

"You became the leader of the Uprising after Raia and took us to War with the Warlock Council. The team is still fighting the Warlock Council. Wait, you have a TV near you. Tell the waiter to turn it on. You'll be able to see it live!"

"I don't know how you lost your memories, but if I'm not wrong, it must be related to this war. Maybe you were hurt or something. In any case, stay there. I'm sending a team to you. We'll talk face to face. I'm coming right there. Don't leave! And keep that phone with you!"

He disconnected the call and looked at his men. He hastily commanded. "I need a chopper right now! It's urgent!"

The second man picked up the phone that was constantly ringing. "Who is it?"

"Ah, it's you." The man turned to Kane. "It's Kellian. He wants to talk to you."

"Kellian? Perfect timing. It looks like Arthur got to him. Give me the phone," Kane said. "We need to tell him about Lucifer losing his memories."

....

"Losing his memories? Again?!" Kellian exclaimed in shock. "It just had to be now? But how did he get to Elisium?"

"That's right. He lost his memories. I'm going to get him right now. However, he doesn't remember anything since the incident where he was targeted at Orion Beach."

"He only remembers meeting you for two days only when you trained him. I think you need to talk to him, so he trusts us."

"Let me talk to him!"

"Just a second. I'm taking you to a conference with him. Talk to him and help him trust us. Because at this point, we're all strangers for him, except you."

...

Lucifer asked the man to turn on the TV, wondering what war they were talking about. He couldn't remember anything at all, no matter how hard he tried. It was like he was suddenly pushed into a life that he didn't recognize at all.

Even though he hadn't watched the footage of the war, just the details he had heard so far were making his headache increase.

"Why would I work for Uprising? Why would I lead them? I just wanted to be alone? Why did I take this stupid decision?" He muttered to himself.

The waiter turned on the TV.

As soon as the TV turned on, a building came to sight with a broken window.

Lucifer stared at the building in confusion but knowing what was happening there.

Boom~

A flaming explosion took place inside the building. Clouds of flames came out from all the windows, along with what appeared like a human figure.

A beautiful red-haired woman's body came flying out of the building. Her fair cheeks had turned red from all the blood that was dropping down from the wounds on her cheeks.

Even her clothes were torn from the shoulders. Fortunately, the clothes were fireproof, protecting her from further embarrassment.

The woman crashed into a distant building. Another figure jumped out of the building, looking like it was flying. The second person landed on the building as well, standing tall before Milena.

"Who is that man?" Lucifer asked the waiter.

The waiter shook his head, not knowing the answer himself. It was even his first time watching that man.

The man who was holding the phone of Lucifer answered instead. "I was watching the same stream before getting the call. I saw his introduction."

"Who is he? Uprising member?" Lucifer asked. "And that lady? She's being beaten so badly. Don't tell me she's on our side?"

"The man is a Warlock Council Member. At least that's what he told the world. So he's your enemy," the man answered, shaking his head.

"I don't know who the lady is, but since she's fighting this man, she must be with Uprising."

"So this strong guy is the enemy?" Lucifer asked as his frown deepened. He started observing the man even more carefully.

"That woman stands no chance. If I'm not wrong, she will die soon. This guy is really strong," he added, shaking his head. "I don't even think I can fight him. I thought I was strong with four abilities, but so far, he has shown more than that."

"Why would I challenge him? Do you know why we went to War with the Warlock Council?" he asked the man.

"Ah, this... How can I tell..."

"Tell me. I won't kill you for an answer. For not answering, I truly might."

The man let out a deep sigh. "It's because you wanted to take over the world. You attacked other nations to take them over. If I'm not wrong, the Warlock Council is the organization of Triton which you attacked."

"I want to take over the world?" Lucifer asked, seemingly even more surprised. "So this entire war is for no reason? There's no goal or purpose behind it? I just want to take over the world?"

The man nodded. He even seemed worried that Lucifer might kill him. However, he was also surprised that Lucifer had lost his memories.

"This is stupid. I only did things for my revenge until now. I only killed people who I needed to or who tried to harm me. Why am I wasting my time in conquering the world in my future?"

"Wait... Uprising. They wanted to conquer Elisium. If they convinced me to lead them, that means they convinced me to take part in their wars, all for what? For nothing at all?"

"Varant is dead. Raia is dead. I killed all my enemies. Why should I fight a war for someone else?"
