Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 867: Back where started

Chapter 867: Back where started

After a long time, Salazar finished explaining, taking a long breath.

"Where is Lucifer? Where is my son now?" Zale asked.

Salazar looked towards the sky, shaking his head. "I'm not sure where he is. All I know is that things are too silent now. It makes me feel that Lucifer had won already. That means he killed that bastard. Maybe he is on his way here? That should be the case. That's why I stopped you from leaving. I want you to be here when he returns."

~~~

The city of Triton wasn't the only city which had people coming back to life. Elisium was also the same. The Uprising members that had died fighting for Lucifer were back, as confused as they could be.

If there was one place that was more surprised, it was the Divine Empire. First, they were attacked by Dungeon Dwellers, and then Dragons came. And now, there were Nobles that had returned to life that had died fighting the Warlock Council in the Empire? Even more shocking was the return of the dead humans.

The sisters of Milena... They were back along with her parents. However, one thing was different about them. Unlike the others, they didn't remember their last moments. It was as if someone had removed those traumatic memories from their head before bringing them back.

Fortunately, there were Nobles in the city who recognized Milena's family. They took them in and allowed them in the Place after making sure they weren't clones.

"Hmm?" Milena was talking to the father of Lucifer when she suddenly stopped. She closed her eyes as if she was focusing on something.

"This can't be!" She exclaimed out loud. There were tears in her eyes which started trickling down her cheeks.

"What happened?" Arthur and Salazar asked at the same time.

"Return from the dead… It didn't just happen here," Milena replied. "I got a mental message from Ryi. The ones that had died fighting the Warlock Council in the Divine Empire are also back."

"That's amazing, but why are you crying over that?" Arthur asked, frowning. He could feel that there was more to the story. "Who else returned?"

"My family..." Milena smiled as tears kept trickling down her cheeks. "My sisters and my father are back. Lucifer didn't forget then. He is amazing. I don't know how I can ever repay him!"

Hearing the praise of her son, Clarisse was So happy. She knew she wasn't there for him yet her son had grown up to be a nice man who did such nice things for his friends. He was not only strong, but he was also kind.

Despite what he did, despite all the wars he fought, there was still good inside his heart. She couldn't wait to meet her son.

She had seen him in videos and saw how big he had become, but she wanted to see him with her own eyes and hug him tightly so she could apologize to him for never being there for him. It was all her fault that he had to suffer so much. She couldn't help but give all the blame to herself.

Back on the Island, something more had happened. Grandpa Chi was also back, perfectly fine. Moreover, he was also younger now! Not only him but his kid and grandkids were also back to life in the exact form where they were killed in the last.

Their house, which had exploded, was also back inside, which all of them had appeared.

Lucifer had remembered everyone that had helped him along the way, and now that he had excess strength that he needed to spend, he decided to spend it for the ones who stayed with him and helped him.

Each and every person who had helped him was back to life, even the woman from the Warlock Council who was killed inside Atlantis when he, Salazar, and her were attacked from the back. Emilia also came back to life.

What more was that all the abilities of Cassius were also back now, all thanks to Lucifer. Lucifer had helped everyone he could to spend all the strength to save his own body, and time manipulation at large scale was the only option he could come up with.

He didn't know how many Time Paradoxes his actions were going to cause, but he didn't care. If he hadn't done it, his own body would've been destroyed.

Many people were back from the dead, and they were happy; however, no one knew where the person who brought them back was. No one knew where Lucifer had gone.

The person who brought happiness to so many faces was in pain himself in a faraway place.

Lucifer had landed back on earth through his portal. Unfortunately, the place he appeared wasn't where he wanted to be. He had created a pathway for the continental of Triton through the Portals, but as he lost consciousness and his excess strength, the connection weakened, and the destination got messed up.

Instead of appearing on the City of Warlock Council to get his victory lap, Lucifer appeared in the one place he never would've selected to go to.

He had appeared inside Atlantis and not when he was at his strongest. He had appeared in the same academy that he had destroyed the last time he was here. Since then, the Academy had been abandoned, and all the equipment from the Academy was taken, leaving only the building which had a damaged structure.

Lucifer had appeared on the roof of the Academy, landing on his back. He laid unconscious. Most of his skin had turned pitch black initially, including his feet and legs, but now that same skin was a dark shade of green as if he was prisoned. Even his own healing couldn't return his skin to normal.

Fortunately, he had spent all the excess energy in time before the damage could've reached his hearts as that couldn't be healed in that case.

His breathing was slow, but it was stable. His healing couldn't heal his body parts that were damaged, but all his vital organs were fine, which worked with his healing even now.

He stayed on the roof for three straight hours, unmoving, before he finally made some movement. A pained grunt escaped his lips as he opened his eyes slowly. ᴀll ɴ ᴏᴠᴇʟ Fuʟʟ.cᴏm

"Not this place..." he muttered, looking straight above. He recognized this place right away, which made him let out a sigh.

He started observing his body condition as he sat straight. "Nerves are damaged. Can't be healed. That's the worst part of it all."

He could feel his hands tingling and his fingers making unnecessary movements that he didn't want them to do.
