Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 892: Aftermath

Moreover, he was also very glad that he chose to listen to Lucifer and come out on his own. Now according to Lucifer’s own words, he couldn’t kill him. 

“It seems whatever you saw was really a dream,” Lucifer commented. “I got excited for no reason.”

“You promised me you won’t kill me if I left and survived! You must keep your promise now!” Predictor stated. “I survived and fulfilled your condition, and I deserve to live.”

“Of course, I always keep my promises. I won’t kill you. You can leave,” Lucifer lazily stated as he flew back inside the helicopter. 

Predictor couldn’t believe he had survived. He had faced death in the face and came out surviving! He was so happy that he couldn’t contain his smile. He tossed his head back and started laughing, lying on the warm sand. 

“So we are really letting him leave,” Killian muttered, seeing Lucifer return. 

“I promised him I’ll let him live if he survived coming out of that place, against his prediction of his death. He succeeded. I will keep my promise,” Lucifer answered. 

“I’ll tell the pilot to get us back.” Kalian nodded. He walked to the pilot. 

Some others also looked slightly unsatisfied with the decision, but ultimately it was Lucifer’s decision. They couldn’t do anything against it. 

“What’s the hurry, Killian.” Lucifer stopped him. “We aren’t done here yet.”

“What do you mean?” Killian looked back. 

Lucifer lazily sat on his seat as he closed his eyes. “I promised Predictor I wouldn’t kill him, but you all didn’t. He isn’t just my enemy; he is yours too. He betrayed you as well, leading you to your death. My revenge might be completed because of my debt, but yours…”

“This…” Hearing Lucifer, a smile formed across Tristan’s lips. He understood what Lucifer was implying, and he was right. Predictor hadn’t just hurt Lucifer. He had hurt them as well.

“You are right.” Tristan stood up, holding his sword firmly. He jumped out of the place, landing before Predictor. 

Predictor sat straight, noticing someone land before him. “What are you doing here? Don’t you know Lucifer has forgiven me? You must leave me alive now. Listen to the boss!”

“Well, boss forgave you, but shouldn’t you be asking for our forgiveness as well? You didn’t just betray him after all. He said he forgave you. He didn’t say all of us would forgive you, did he?” Tristan laughed out loud. “Oh, how I love this moment!”

Predictor’s jaws dropped as he finally understood! Lucifer had been really careful with his words. He wanted to cover all his bases. He never intended to leave Predictor alive!

“Lucifer, you bas-” Predictor screamed in rage, but before he could even finish his words, a sword came flying. His head was separated from his body.

Predictor’s head dropped to the ground, followed by his body.

Standing near the door of the helicopter, Lucifer was looking down on Predictor with his hands behind his back. “You’re free of your mental prison. You’re welcome.”

He turned around and sat on his seat. 

“Won’t you take his ability?” Kellian asked, seeing Lucifer sit calmly as if he wasn’t interested in the body outside. 

“That’s what I wanted, but I’ve changed my mind now,” Lucifer responded. “Prediction certainly comes with a lot of baggage. I already have plenty of nightmares; I don’t want to confuse them with the future.”

“This ability… It is better if it is gone with him.”

The helicopter landed on the ground to allow Tristan to enter again. The helicopter rose in the air, turned around, and departed from the place. The body of Predictor laid on the sand, lifeless. 

“Did you set the base as I wanted?” Lucifer asked Kellian as they started leaving. 

“It should be any second now,” Kellian answered, looking at his clock. 

Boom~

A loud explosive voice fell in everyone’s ears as a cloud of fire spread above the base. The old Uprising base had suddenly exploded. 

“There it is,” Kellian let out, glancing back. “There goes all the remnants of the old Uprising.”

“It’s better that way. The new Uprising is the future, and it’ll be even when I leave,” Lucifer answered. 

The helicopter went straight to the airport, where the jet was already waiting for them to take them back. Everyone entered the jet. 

Lucifer once again went back to his cabin to get another short nap. He was also slightly concerned about something. 

He had left one of his shadows with Maya to keep an eye on her. It was to make sure she wasn’t here to do something which could be harmful to him, but what she was doing… It confused even him. 

She hadn’t gone to the Uprising base to do anything. Instead, she went to the ruins of the Dungeon in Elisium, from where Lucifer had gone to the higher ranking dungeon. 

Unfortunately for her, along with the destruction of the Dungeons because of Lucifer, the portal was also destroyed. After observing the place for quite some time, she left. 

From that moment on, she went from the rubble of one Dungeon to another. Lucifer couldn’t understand what she was trying to do. Was she really here to make a report on what had happened? Or was she trying to find more about the appearance of Baltics in this world? Or was it something more? Was she trying to find clues about how Lucifer had managed to defeat someone who could cause so much destruction in this world?

The Dungeons she was exploring were all destroyed by Lucifer, after all. Maya took a sample from each of the Dungeons, keeping it in her storage sample. 

Lucifer was really curious. He wanted to ask her directly, but he knew she wasn’t going to answer. He also couldn’t attack her for not answering. He couldn’t force her like he could with others. She was like an envoy of Star Alliance. If anything happened to her, it was all going to be on him. 

She was the trickiest opponent for him as he couldn’t use his forceful tactics on her. He also couldn’t ask her directly. He needed to find another solution to get an answer from her. 

While Lucifer was concerned about a future threat, his team outside was thinking about something else entirely. They were all planning on orders in which each person was going to go to help Lucifer fall for their candidate. Who was going to attempt what and when was being decided.

Since they didn’t have any threats, they were more concerned about Lucifer’s love life.
