Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 854: Betrayed by own

Within a second, Licorice’s figure also disappeared as he appeared behind Lucifer, teleporting.

He grabbed both the wings of Lucifer that were boosting his strength and tore the wings from his back, tossing them away.

“Argh!” Lucifer groaned in pain as he felt like his nerves were torn off.

“Do you even need to block my path?” White robed Lucifer asked Salazar. “It doesn’t look like Licorice needs my help. He alone should be able to kill you all. You’re just delaying our important work and nothing more.”

Just as he said, even Salazar and Yaliza were worried about the same thing. They knew how strong these people were and how difficult it was to take them out. However, they also knew that Lucifer had defeated four of them already, even though they didn’t know how. They believed he had a way.

Lucifer’s back bled as he landed on the ground. He noticed a foot coming towards his head to crush him. He teleported at the last moment, landing in a different corner to get some time to collect his breath, but Licorice also teleported right after him. The foot reached even closer to him, barely a few inches away from crushing his skull v

Lucifer called forth his lightning sword, thrusting it towards the incoming foot. At the same time, he called forth a lightning shield, not attempting teleportation anymore since he knew that it wouldn’t have any effect.

The sword hit the foot of Licorice, unable to harm him even a little. It was as if his skin was also as strong as the skin of Licia. His sword was nothing before it.

The foot landed on the lightning barrier, shattering it in an instant.

Just as the foot was about to land on Lucifer’s face, a white sphere of light landed on the chest of Licorice, sending him flying.

Lucifer was protected at the last second.

“Are you alright?” Milena asked.

“Watch out!” Lucifer yelled, noticing that Licorice was back. Licorice grabbed the neck of Milena. She couldn’t even teleport now that she was being held by him.

“You pests think you can stop him? Just because you defeated some kids outside, you think you are strong enough to face the Baltics? You aren’t even Worthy to stand before me!” Licorice yelled, thrusting Milena down.

Her back crashed to the ground, making her cough out a mouthful of blood as she felt that her breathing stopped momentarily.

~~~

Back in the barren world, a man was still sitting idly on a cliff. However, there was a mirror before him that was broadcasting everything that was happening inside the Dungeon.

There was a smile on his lips as he saw Lucifer on the ground.

“Too weak… I really wonder if you can survive. This time I won’t interfere,” the man muttered softly.

“Your life will bring my death. But your death won’t bring my life. So it won’t matter… I already did enough…”

He laid on the cliff, facing the sky. The mirror also moved on its own to face him in the sky, giving him a clear view.

Another volcano exploded in the back, making a loud explosive noise.

~~~

Licorice’s feet came crashing at Milena this time as he planned to take out the obstructions first.

Milena closed her eyes, still unable to teleport. She could see her death right before her eyes.

However, the impact she was hoping for didn’t come. She slowly looked up, wondering what had happened.

Even Yaliza and Salazar had a shocked look on their faces as they saw what had happened.

“Huh?” Milena looked straight ahead as a trail of blood came out of her lips.

Licorice stood still with one foot in the sky as if he was a statue.

“Move!” She heard the yell of Lucifer, which brought her out of her daze.

She slid her body back before standing up. She could see Lucifer still on the ground. His eyes were focused on Licorice, but he seemed to be in pain as well. Her nerves were visible as if they were going to explode.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Lucifer had trapped him in space. It was impossible to affect Licorice in space. She had already tried that. He was immune to it. So how was he like that?

“Time?” She exclaimed in shock, but she knew she couldn’t waste this opportunity, no matter what it was.

She pulled out her sword from her spatial storage and swung it towards the man’s neck. Lucifer was already clenching his teeth, struggling. He knew he couldn’t hold the man for long. This was probably their last opportunity.

Milena’s sword came swinging with full force, even slicing the winds along the way.

Bang~

Out of nowhere, a lightning bolt came flying. It landed on the chest of Milena, who wasn’t expecting it. The sword flew off from her hand before it could even hit Licorice.

She landed on her knees, looking at the hole in her chest, which had barely missed her heart. She looked towards the white robed Lucifer in the distance, who was standing behind Yaliza and Salzar.

Both of them were so immersed in the attack of Milena and Lucifer, they forgot to keep an eye on the other Lucifer, especially since the other Lucifer stood like a calm boy who had no intention of interfering. It was only now they realized how wrong they were!

The black robed Lucifer also couldn’t hold back anymore as he lost control of Licorice. His body dropped to the ground.

He had used so much strength just now to use the time control that he barely had anything left since his time core was defective. He couldn’t do it again.

He tried to push his body up, which was a chore in itself as he looked at the other Lucifer. They were so close to winning, and they failed, all because of the other Lucifer.

The real Lucifer was infuriated. He interfered, but he also hurt Milena, who dropped on the ground as her body kept bleeding.

Thum~

The feet of Licorice landed on the ground, but no one was under his feet.

Stunned, he looked at his surroundings, finding Milena bleeding in the distance.

“Time?” he muttered in surprise as he glanced back at the weak Lucifer. “You were even able to control me, if only for a few seconds? You never cease to amaze me,” the man exclaimed, sighing.

He turned to the other Lucifer. “Good work. If they had succeeded, your parents would never return. It’s good that you didn’t let them succeed.”

“Now it’s my turn to handle the rest,” he added.
