Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 915: Invitation

Chapter 915: Invitation

"As you said, that's all in the past. All your enemies are gone, and so are all your friends. What do you plan to do now?" Lucifer inquired.

The man just shrugged his shoulders. "If only I knew. I would've loved to just die, but even that isn't possible. I'm cursed to walk for an eternity because of what I am."

"And what are you? That's right! Everyone in your group died except you. Only you couldn't be killed. How is that possible? Unless... Immortality isn't the ability you received from your Bloodline?!"

It was only now that Lucifer realized what should've been obvious from the start. Everyone from his species could be killed. Either this Immortality wasn't a Bloodline ability or...

"This isn't the Bloodline Ability. If only it was, my family would've been alive... My friends would've been alive. They wouldn't have been killed right before my eyes," the man answered.

He didn't know why, but he was really opening up talking to Lucifer. Maybe it was because it had been a long time since he was with another person? Or because he was starting to consider Lucifer like a friend even though they just met. Even he didn't know what he was. All he knew was that he didn't feel any animosity with Lucifer at the moment.

"Then how? How did you get that Immortality? Where did you get it from?"

"It was granted to me..." The young man stated calmly.

"Granted by who?" Lucifer inquired again.

The man shook her head. "I'm not sure who that person was. The lower half of his face was covered when I met him. All I know is that he was a man who wasn't from this world."

"Why would a stranger give you Immortality? And how can he even do that?" Lucifer didn't understand how it was possible.

Immortality was a heaven-defying ability. Was there really a person in the past who was granting this ability to others? And if that was the case, shouldn't he be immortal as well? That meant he was still alive?

"Even I can't answer that question. I asked him why he was giving me this Immortality. He didn't reply. Maybe he did it because I helped him? That's only a guess though."

"Help him? The person who was immortal, how did you help him? He should've been strong enough to help himself."

"By helping him, I didn't mean help in anything major. It was a very minor thing that I did. I gave him a place to stay, took him to my home, gave him food and such. And before leaving, he gave me this ability."

"And throughout this time, you didn't see that person's full face?" Lucifer asked.

The man shook his head in response. "I didn't. All I know is that the man was really kind. The manner in which he talked and everything about him... It was just perfect."

"I wonder who that person could be. My immortality could be linked to him as well. I doubt I'll ever find him again." Lucifer was really intrigued about the person who had the Immortality. Previously he thought his Immortality was related to the man before him, but that wasn't the case anymore.

"Your Immortality? Do you also have this curse?" The man exclaimed in surprise, staring at Lucifer.

"Something similar to it." Lucifer sliced his skin a little and let it heal right before the man.

"So you do." The man watched Lucifer's wound heal in amazement. "So that's why your jaw isn't broken. You probably weren't lying about that. I apologize for that. I thought I was going easy on you, but even my easy was a bit too much for you."

"I'm not that weak," Lucifer rolled his eyes. "That aside, it seems the two of us are similar in more ways than one. Do you want to team up with me?"

"Team up with what? As I told you before, I don't know a single thing about this world anymore. You'll have to be clearer."

"Alright. Let me tell you about this universe first. At least as much as I know."

...

Lucifer spent the next two hours talking about the Star Alliance, some parts of his life, and what this world was being used for. He also talked about why he was here and what he was used for.

He didn't forget to talk about some of his past either to show that this guy wasn't the only one who had a messed-up history.

"So as you can see, for now I'm with the Star Alliance. After I become a Captain, I can help you as well. Staying with me is better than staying here all alone, isn't it?"

Even though Lucifer talked about a lot of things, he didn't talk about his ulterior motive in approaching this guy. He didn't tell this guy about his future conflict with the Star Alliance and that he was going to be in trouble in the near future. He also didn't mention that it was the time when he was going to need him the most.

He didn't want this person to feel like Lucifer was trying to use him as a shield because that wasn't the case.

He just wanted a stronger alliance, but that didn't mean he was going to hide while he fought. If anything, he was going to take the lead on the battlefield before sending anyone else! That's the kind of person he was.

"After I am the Captain in the Star Alliance and have my own ship, we can search for the person who gave you the Immortality. Life would certainly be interesting. So, friends?" Lucifer reached out his hands toward the young man.

"Friends..." The man gazed at the hands of Lucifer for quite some time before he ultimately reached out his own hand as well, nodding in agreement.

"I had no purpose in this life before you arrived. I was like a dead man living who didn't know why. But you brought a purpose to me. Exploring this world and finding the benefactor. You saved me from roaming like a crazy with no purpose for an eternity. So I accept... Friends."

Lucifer let out a sigh of relief. Everything went on smoothly, but things weren't over yet.

"That's good, but there is one problem. The Star Alliance members who are present here can't know about your presence. You'll have to hide until the Trials here are over and the barriers are opened. After that, with the help of Joana, I should be able to smuggle you out. Can you stay hidden?"

The young man nodded his head. "I can."

"That's perfect. Also, I forgot to ask your name. I am Lucifer Azarel. You?"

"Gabriel," the young man answered.

Hearing the answer, Lucifer felt like he had heard that name before. He just couldn't recall where it was…
