Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 779

"So I have no other choice but to help you?" Lucifer asked, understanding what the man was implying.

He was literally keeping his way back as a hostage. At the same time, he was claiming that even if he wasn't, going back was going to be impossible for Lucifer if he didn't join the Star Alliance.

If he didn't do that, even if he wasn't pushed back in prison, he wasn't going to be allowed back due to the energy expenses that the Star Alliance needed to open a portal to his world.

"There's no hurry. You don't have to give me an answer now, even though I know what your answer is going to be like. You said I'm not stupid enough to trust you blindly. Similarly, I know you aren't stupid enough to not take my offer."

"But still, just for the illusion of it, you can think about it. I'll wait for your answer tomorrow."

Joana kept walking straight with Lucifer, only stopping after reaching a white door. He didn't take a single turn along the way at all.

"It seems we're back at your room. You'll be sharing a room with Xaen until you give me your decision. However, I have a feeling you won't mind that since you have some scores to settle with him?"

"You can do whatever you want with him. Unlike you, we've placed a restriction on all his abilities with the second ring. He can't escape. Meanwhile, you can still use your abilities. So have a good time, young man."

"Abilities?" Lucifer asked, turning back. He had thought that this guy didn't know about the abilities that Lucifer had. However, it appeared that he knew.

"Yeah, the abilities. As I said, we interrogated Xaen before. He told us everything about me, but more importantly, he told us your entire life story, regarding your abilities. So we do know you better than you think."

"Despite knowing my abilities, you aren't restricting my abilities. You're really taking a risk by trusting me so much, all for your future. Not bad."

"As I said, I do have some faith in my heart. Just like I'm trying to win your trust for my future, you're trying to win our trust because we aren't your enemies and you need a way back."

" Since we're both trying to win each other's trust, why shouldn't we both trust each other?" Joana said, smiling.

He placed a hand on Lucifer's shoulder. He opened the door. "Think about it clearly. I can be a great enemy but I can be an even better friend if you give me a chance."

The door opened, revealing Xaen inside. Even though they didn't take a single turn and only walked straight, somehow they ended up where they started. Lucifer didn't know how it happened but he felt like there was some spatial disturbance that was used.

This place was much more complicated than he thought. This ship could really be like a maze for him if it needed to be. He could feel that there was much more danger in this ship than he had seen.

He knew that Joana wasn't stupid enough to trust him blindly. He probably had faith in his ship and on his squad to handle the abilities of Lucifer.

'This walk... Was it intentional?' Lucifer thought, looking back at Joana.

It was Joana's way to show Lucifer that they could use much more than he could which he clearly understood.

He gained many insights from this one act.

He stepped inside the room, not taking a second glance at Joana. The door slowly closed after he entered.

Lucifer shifted his focus from Joana to Xaen who was sitting on the bed, looking upset.

"I don't even know what this place is, but I'm here because of you. Are you happy now? I'm a prisoner of some aliens."

"It isn't my fault that you tried to cross me. It isn't my fault that you laid traps for me. It isn't my fault that you stole my stones. If anything is my fault it'll be the upcoming death of yours before I'll do it personally if you don't return the stones that you took.'

"You idiot? You're still thinking about the stones in this condition? What stones, we're literally in an unknown space in a place that even I didn't know existed. You can't even go back, let alone get more stones."

Hearing the answer of Xaen, Lucifer started walking towards him. He stopped right before Xaen.

He slowly observed his hand which didn't have any gloves. Only his left hand had gloves at this point.

He brought his finger closer to the forehead of Xaen, stopping just a few millimeters away from him.

"I won't repeat my demand. If you don't want to be crushed in the next second, return the stones to me."

Xaen rolled his eyes. "You can't even use your abilities here. You're a prisoner just like me. See these rings? They block our abilities much better than any of my Limiter ever could. At the moment, you're no more than a human just like me."

Lucifer didn't respond. He simply touched the forehead of Xaen.

As Xaen's forehead was touched, he started feeling a burning sensation on his head. It was like his head was being forged in the flames of hell.

Before too much damage could be done to Xaen's body, Lucifer removed his fingers again. His actions had answered the question of Xaen, proving that they were different even though they were both prisoners.

Xaen looked horrified at Lucifer, surprised at how Lucifer was still able to use his abilities. It was only now that he realized that there was only one ring on the fingers of Lucifer on the hand in which he wore a glove.

"The ring! They only gave you one ring? That means they didn't give you the ring that blocks abilities. Why? Why did they let you be?!" Xaen asked, stunned at the sudden revelation.

"It doesn't concern you. Just tell me where the stones are? If you don't, I'll kill you right this instant. And believe me when I say it, but I won't get punished for killing another prisoner.'

"They already got what they wanted from you. They don't care about your life. That's why they left you for me. Tell me or you'll die!"

Xaen glanced at Lucifer blankly for a moment before he burst into a laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Do you think I'm a kid who is two years old or something?" Xaen asked. "I only have one leverage on you, which is that only I know where the stones are.. If you kill me, you won't be able to find them in your entire lifetime."
