Inhuman Warlock

Lucifer was lying on the ground, roaring in pain.. pain like never before. The aura around him also intensified at the same time as his strength kept increasing by leaps and bounds in a short time.

General Rasin arrived near the world that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere with an entire fleet that consisted of five General Rank Members and many more Captain Rank members. 

"Sir, there is some energy interference in this world's field. We can't scan it for life. Shall we destroy it directly?" One of the Star Alliance members asked General Rasin. 

They didn't know what kind of threats were in that world, and they also didn't know if the person they were after was there. If that person was, destroying him right away was the only answer, according to them, as it was the safest option. 

"No need. I'll go check it out personally. If there's any need for blowing up this place, I'll tell you myself," General Rasin responded. 

It was after a long time that this world had appeared, which they thought to be destroyed before. If they destroyed it again, wasn't that a waste?

He wanted to go down personally and check. Moreover, with three Generals and the backup of the ships above, even if he found someone, he was confident that he could take them down. 

He discussed with the other Generals, and eventually, they all agreed to go down and investigate themselves. 

All five Generals were teleported to the world, along with some backup. The ships were left behind in the control of their deputies, who were connected to them. 

Around twenty people landed on the world. They divided into five teams of four, each going in a different direction to search faster.

After three hours of searching, one of the five teams reached the Cliff Region. 

It was only after they reached closer to that area that they were able to sense some strange energy. They instantly informed the other Teams and told them to come, not taking any action alone. 

Before long, all the teams caught up to the first team near the cliff. They all advanced together, ready to take action at a moment's notice. 

As they got closer to the cliff, along with the intensifying aura, they were also able to hear some faint screams 

"Someone is definitely there!"

All the Generals increased their speed, moving even faster. 

The Generals reached the Cliff, only to find out that the source of that strange energy was a person. A young man was lying on the ground, twisting and turning his body as if he was in extreme pain. His nerves had turned pitch black and were branching out. 

"That bastard... He is here?!" General Rasin exclaimed in shock, finding Lucifer before him. 

"Isn't that Lucifer that the Star Alliance paid a lot of attention to? What is he doing here?" Another General asked. "I thought he was in Nimel's home."

"This bastard looks like he snuck out. And to get here, that only shows that he had a relationship with whatever happened here! I think we were right! This bastard was related to the Ancient Clan. If I'm not wrong, he might already be the person we were looking for!" General Rasin exclaimed. 

"So, all his interaction with the Star Alliance... Everything was an act?" Almost everyone was stunned, believing that Lucifer had managed to fool them and infiltrate so deep into their Alliance without them even realizing. 

"What should we do about him? He seems to be going through something really strange. He doesn't even know that we're here. Should we kill him directly to avoid any future threats or take him in as a prisoner for the Queen to decide?"

General Rasin frowned. "As much as I want to kill that bastard for what he did to my son, I think we should take him back. We need more information from him."

The man brought out handcuffs that were made from a special material that could prevent a person from using their abilities. They had already tried it on Lucifer once, only to know that it worked. 

General Rasin stepped close to Lucifer, protecting himself against the pulses of destructive energy that were coming out from Lucifer. 

He got closer to Lucifer and placed his wrists under cuffs. As soon as the cuffs were placed, the destructive energy stopped leaking. At the same time, Lucifer also stopped moving. 

"This little bastard, I'll make sure to get back at him for what he did to my son in the future. And that time, even the Queen won't stop me!" General Rasin exclaimed, placing his foot on Lucifer's face. 

The destructive energy stopped leaking from Lucifer's body, thanks to the shackles, but they still kept building up inside his body, changing something inside him forever. 

General Rasin turned back to the others, still not taking off his foot from Lucifer's face. "Looks like we're done here. I don't think we'll find anything else here. But still, just for the sake of it, we need to sweep through this world once."

He instructed the Captain Rank members to continue the search and just like before, contact them if they found anything. 

The Star Alliance members started leaving to continue their search while the Generals stayed here. However, they stopped as soon as they had taken only one step. The ground had started trembling. The space started cracking apart. 

Lucifer's eyes abruptly opened, this time being completely pitch black. A massive explosion of energy came out of his body that was out of even his control. 

The powerful wave of energy even destroyed the shackles that were placed on his body. 

General Rasin was so close to Lucifer that he was also the first to be affected. The door that he was keeping in Lucifer's face turned into dust, followed by his entire body. It all happened so fast that he couldn't even curse. 

The other Generals cast their barriers to protect themselves. Even the Captain Rank Members used whatever they had to defend themselves.
