Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 1053 1054: Personal Hell

Lucifer's once radiant aura of power and dominance had now faded to some extent, replaced by a haunting darkness.

Thick, black veins snaked their way across his pale skin, pulsating with an otherworldly energy. Each vein seemed to writhe and twist, as if possessed by a malevolent force.

The cause of this transformation lay hidden within Lucifer's body that was trying to restrict the poison. Deep within his core, a vile poison had taken root.

The poison couldn't kill someone like Lucifer but it corrupted everything it touched. With each passing second, the poison's malefic influence grew stronger, its dark energy seeping into Lucifer's very soul.

As the poison coursed through his veins, Lucifer's body convulsed in agony, yet he stood straight, resisting the weakening poison. His eyes glimmered with a mix of anguish and fury.

With a burst of energy, Lucifer propelled himself towards Talia, closing the distance between them in an instant. He swung his sword, aiming to strike her down, but once again, her men stepped before her, attacking and blocking him.

Their attacks weren't weak either as one of the attacks even managed to slice Lucifer's left arm clean, passing through his physical defences that had weakened.

Lucifer still didn't hold back, roaring like a demon as he cut through his physical defences that had weakened.

Lucifer still didn't hold back, roaring like a demon as he cut the enemies in his path without caring about his poison getting stronger.

Simultaneously, the dark nerves continued to crawl across his body. They branched off from the black veins, entwining themselves around Lucifer's limbs, encasing him in an eerie, almost ethereal shroud. It was as if the very essence of darkness was manifesting itself on his flesh, a physical representation of the evil that had invaded his being.

On the other side, Talia's laughter kept echoing through the surrounding, as if she didn't care the least bit about her people being killed. It was as if they were just expendable, brought here to exhaust him.

"You can't get to me as long as they exist! If you want to survive, you can only stop this battle and surrender. I might consider letting you live as I take you back!" The woman spoke, her smirk remaining consistent.

Lucifer heard her words loud and clear. In response, he only said a single sentence. "And as long as I exist, you won't exist!"

His sword sliced through another warrior, passing through their barrier. Their blood splashing across Lucifer's face, making him appear even more demonic.

In the meantime, his left hand also recovered, bringing him back to his usual form.

Summoning her remaining strength, Talia channeled her own power into her ring. The crimson energy surrounding it intensified, matching the intensity of Lucifer's lightning. She thrust her hand forward, sending a surge of energy towards him.

Lucifer's eyes narrowed as he sensed the incoming attack. He quickly raised his sword, using it as a shield against the oncoming blast. The clash of energies created a powerful shockwave, shaking the very foundation of the battlefield.

The impact sent Lucifer hurtling backward, crashing into the ground with a resounding thud. He could feel the poison coursing through his veins, weakening his body, but he refused to let it deter him. He had come too far to be stopped now.

Gritting his teeth, Lucifer pushed himself off the ground and charged at Talia once again. Despite the pain and the poison coursing through him, his determination burned brighter than ever. He swung his sword with all his might, aiming for a decisive strike.

With each of his movements, the space around him shattered, occasionally turning into nothingness.

But before his blade could reach its target, Talia vanished into thin air, leaving behind nothing but a mocking laughter echoing through the air. Confusion washed over Lucifer as he scanned the area, trying to locate her.

Suddenly, a searing pain erupted in his back as he felt something pierce through his flesh. He turned around to find Talia standing behind him, a wicked smile on her face.

"Did you really think I wouldn't do anything?" she taunted, her voice dripping with superiority. "I am not so foolish as to fight fair when I can end this faster. You may have power, but in the end, the power of a fool is nothing before the power of the wise!"

Lucifer gritted his teeth, feeling the poison spreading further through his body. He had to end this quickly.

Ignoring the pain, he summoned all his remaining strength and unleashed a devastating attack, a wave of lightning and energy that surged towards Talia.

But once again, she disappeared, leaving Lucifer to strike at thin air. The attack collided with the ground, causing a massive explosion that rocked the entire battlefield.

As the smoke cleared, Talia reappeared, her expression smug. "You may be strong, Lucifer, but you are no match. Your Ancestors were failures and ended up dying before we could even find them. At least you're lucky enough to die at my hands, unlike them."

Lucifer's eyes narrowed, refusing to let Talia's words rattle him.

With a burst of determination, he forged ahead, channeling his strength and summoning the power of decay, merging it with his dark lightning.

These two were the elements that he had the best control of. Even when he awakened, these two elements were always with him.

While he was about to use everything he had, he frowned, sending more presence around him.

All around the unfamiliar world, many figures appeared out of thin air. Even more bizarre was that they all looked the same as the people he had killed and devoted. As if they were brought back to life. Moreover, all of them had the same poison ring as before.

"Oh, it seems I forgot to mention one thing," Talia laughed, watching her men return to life. "It's just as I said before. As long as they're alive, you can't kill me. But what I forgot to mention was that, as long as I'm alive, you can't completely kill them either."

"This is your personal hell, Lucifer. A hell you can never escape!"
