Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 409 - 409: Assassination

Lucifer was enjoying playing with the enemies and their weapons. Their bullets were useless against him, and their missiles were diverted by him, using his wind.

So far, he had only used his wind. He hadn’t even used his lighting, but that was going to change as dark clouds started forming in the sky.

Lucifer was amused that no missiles were coming towards him now.

"Looks like they learned their lessons with missiles, but they still keep shooting. When will they learn that?"

Lucifer spread out his arms, creating a massive wind tornado around him. One tornado split into two, which split into four.

It was the same trick that Xander had used against Lucifer when they fought outside the facility. Inspired by that attack, Lucifer had also created this wind tornado.

Unlike fire tornados, the wind tornados couldn’t burn anyone, which was why he created thousands of wind blades inside the wind tornados to make them more threatening.

Tens of wind tornados moved inside the city, creating devastating destruction.

The soldiers of Akmod kept getting caught by the tornadoes, sliced into small pieces.

Hundreds of screams drowned in the crackling of thunder in the sky.

The tornadoes kept moving deeper and deeper into the city, followed by Lucifer, who was wondering if he was even going to need his lightning. Is this why fighting humans was so easy?"

While Lucifer was flying deeper into the city, an underground pathway opened behind him.

A dark-haired man stepped out of the underground tunnel, dressed in all black. He was carrying a black sniper rifle in his hand. Standing straight, he aimed his gun towards Lucifer, whose back was facing him as he floated away.

"You think your bulletproof clothes can save you? Your head is fully exposed, my friend," the man said, smirking.

He got a precise aim of the back of Lucifer’s head, which was fully exposed.

Taking a deep breath, he stabilized his hands. He released his breath and fired.

Bang!

A bullet flew straight towards Lucifer, who didn’t think that a person could be behind him since he had killed them all.

The bullet flew towards him and soon penetrated from the back of his head, passing through his forehead, leaving a see-through hole in his head.

....

"Hahaha, It’s a clear shot! This guy is dead! It looks like we won’t need to use X356," Hamilton started laughing, seeing Lucifer being shut on his screen. He believed they had already won.

"Ah, sir? Why isn’t he falling to the ground?" His underling asked, shocked how Lucifer was still flying despite being shot.

"Ah..."

As time passed, even Hamilton was feeling strange. Why was this guy still flying? Since they couldn’t see Lucifer’s face clearly in the footage, they couldn’t see that his wound was healing.

Instead, they saw Lucifer turn around.

....

Lucifer gently touched the hole in his forehead, which had already started healing by now.

"It looks like I left someone alive in the back—a really rookie mistake by me. But then again, this was why I didn’t want Salazar to come with me. If it was him, he might have been dead. Unfortunately for them... I came."

Lucifer glanced around and soon found the black-clothed man.

"Good aim," Lucifer said softly. "Now, my turn to aim!"

He raised his right hand towards the sky and brought it down. As if initiating the movement of his hand, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, landing on the ground.

The black-clothed man looked at the sky, noticing the pitch-black lightning bolt falling towards him.

His feet froze as he didn’t know if he should dodge to his left or right. He didn’t even know if he should dodge at all. There wasn’t enough time, and he didn’t know where this bolt was going to fall.

"Oh, Cra-" Ultimately, he said his last words, realizing where that bolt was going to fall. He couldn’t even finish his words as the bolt impaled him.

....

"W-what was that? Did lightning fall on his commands?" Hamilton asked, shocked.

"I-i think so, sir. The lightning did fall on his commands from what it seemed like. I think... We shouldn’t mess with him. He didn’t even die when he was directly shot! I think we shouldn’t make him our enemy!"

"Don’t think too much. Use X356 now! So what if he doesn’t die from bullets? That will take him out! That’s our most advanced weapon!" Hamilton said.

"Alright, sir. I’ve already told all our men to go inside bunkers near them. I think we’re ready to give it a try."

"Good! On the count of three!"

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One...! Now!"

...

A missile was fired from the back of the city, straight towards Lucifer.

"Hmm? Another missile? Do they still think it’ll work? Or have they given up?" Lucifer wondered.

He raised his hand towards the missile, firing a lightning bolt at him.

The lightning bolt struck the missile, making it blow up, creating a small cloud, but there was no explosiveness to it. Only small explosions took place, but a strange white cloud started spreading everywhere.

It spread so fast that before Lucifer could even realize that this white cloud was odd, he was already inside the white cloud, breathing it in.

"Something isn’t right about this cloud?" he muttered, using his winds to make the white gas fly away from him.

Even though the white cloud flew away, Lucifer felt somewhat odd as his heart started beating irregularly. He started feeling a bit sick, but as soon as his healing kicked in, he felt refreshed.

"Ah, I get it now. That was some kind of poison. Not bad for using a new trick," Lucifer muttered, shaking his head.

"I’m bored now. It was a good trick but not great. That’s nothing interesting anymore," he declared, lazily shaking his head.

One after another, massive lightning bolts started falling from the sky, destroying buildings, missile launchers, vehicles, and everything else in their path wherever they fell.

...

"Ah, sir? I think he’s still fine. That didn’t work."

"I can see it!" Hamilton roared in rage. "How is that possible? How can this guy not be affected by our greatest chemical poison? How?!"

"Alright! I’ve decided! We can’t fight him! If we can’t win openly, I’ll blackmail him! Turn on the speakers inside the city!" He commanded.

"Turning on!"

....

Lucifer kept attacking every establishment in the city when he heard a voice.

"Greetings, young Variant! Welcome to Akmod, but let me remind you, if you move even an inch closer, you’ll regret it!"

"Is that a threat?" Lucifer asked.
