Inhuman Warlock

"I think I'll be respecting their self confidence to some extent," Lucifer said. "Moreover, I'm also curious to know more about this fifth generation technology of theirs. I only saw the first generation, and it wasn't half bad.*

"Let them be. And bring back the others," he further added before closing his eyes. 

Milena rolled her eyes and left the place. 

....

Before Long, the Royal Advisor and Jan returned to Kellian, who was still standing on the top of the roof. 

"You're back. I thought you left."

"We believe you've been telling the truth. We want information about all the remnants of the Warlock Council who left. They might know the whereabouts of the rat we're looking for," Jan told Kellian. 

"So give us as much information you can."

"You know, they're my enemies too. We can work together to take them out if you want," Kellian suggested. "That would certainly be more efficient."

"We don't need your help," the Royal Advisor replied. "Just give us the information. We'll take it from there."

"Alright, I'll tell you. There are six leaders of the Warlock Council who escaped. The most important one is Jian Asade."

As Kellian said, Jan searched the name. A hologram opened up before him. 

"Jian Asade? Is it this guy?" 

"Yeah, that's the one. He is closest to Lucifer. And the second person is..."

Kellian kept giving information about all six Warlock Council heads that were in hiding. 

"Good. We will take care of it from now." The Royal Advisor turned around. 

"The six of them are already in hiding. I really think you might need my help."

"We don't care if they're in hiding. We have ways to find them as long as they left even a single trace behind," Jan said, waving his hand. He left the city with the Royal Advisor. 

The two of them didn't realize that Kellian had actually sent a shadow of his with them, which was to keep an eye on them. 

After making sure they left the city, Kellian turned around. 

Just as he turned, Milena appeared before him. 

"What are you doing here?"

"The little guy sent me. He wants me and Arthur to bring back everyone," Milena replied. 

Kellian transferred all the information to Milena about the whereabouts of everyone else, but he used his words when talking about Salazar. 

"Alright, I am off then."

"Wait, where is Lucifer. At least tell me that first."

"Lucifer? He is in the room which was initially assigned to him by the Council. You'll find him there." Milena disappeared. 

Kellian glanced one last time in the direction where the two men went before he entered the building. 

He went to the twenty-third floor, finding Lucifer lying on a sofa with his eyes closed. 

He didn't disturb Lucifer and just sat beside him, but before long, he started wondering if Lucifer was actually sleeping or he was in a coma like last time. 

He stood up and approached Lucifer to check his temperature, but before he could even touch Lucifer's forehead, the young man opened his lips. 

"What do you think you're doing?" Lucifer asked, not even bothering to open his eyes. 

"Just checking if you were fine," Kellian replied as he walked back. 

"Did the people from Atlantis leave?" Lucifer inquired. 

"Yeah. I even left my shadow with them. They've truly left the city. But I still don't understand. Why take such a long step?"

"You don't need to be concerned about it. It's just a personal decision," Lucifer answered. 

"Ah, wait... Is this about your parents?"

"What do you mean?" Lucifer asked. 

"He used the hands of other people to kill your parents without even moving his own finger. Are you doing the same thing with him to get equal? Using other people to kill him?' Kellian frowned. 

Lucifer smiled. "You really have a vivid imagination."

"That's not the answer."

Lucifer didn't respond. Instead, he changed the topic. 

"Leave Warlock Council remnants to them. I'm more concerned about Xaen. Get a flight ready for me. I'll be going to the island."

"You mean we will be?"

"Nope. I will be going. I will be going alone this time. You all stay here and take care of this small Empire of mine. I need eyes on the ground to manage things with the Council remnants and Atlantis."

"Is it not risky to go alone?" Kellian inquired. 

"What's risky is sitting here like an idle bird. Prepare the planes. I'll leave after the others are back."

"Oh, and in the meantime, get me information about the Xaen. I want to know everything about him that's there to know. I need my two stones back."

"I'll arrange the flight, but I still think going alone isn't right."

"Why isn't it right? I've been alone most of my life," Lucifer smiled. "I think I can handle a short trip."

"Anyways, there's so much to do and not enough time. It's time I finish things personally. Enough delaying. And hopefully, by the time I'm back, you'll have the bodies of the Warlock Council remnants ready for me."

"Now, let me sleep and don't disturb. The flight from here to the island is really long. Only wake me up when everyone is here."

After finishing, Lucifer turned on the sofa and started sleeping. 

"Alone on the Island with Xaen and the Family Heads that want to kill you..." Kellian muttered, frowning. "I still think this isn't the right decision."

Kellian had a feeling that Lucifer was behaving oddly since he heard about the news about why his parents were killed. He wondered if Lucifer was trying to distract himself from the mess of the past by acting different?

Lucifer didn't reply. It was unclear if he was actually sleeping or if he wasn't listening. 

After a six hour long nap, Lucifer woke up, hearing the constant chatter around him. 

As he opened his eyes, he saw all the Uprising members there, including Alicia, Dallas, Tristan, and others. Only Eve was missing. 

All the Nobles were also there. 

"Is everyone here?" Lucifer asked, yawning. 

He turned to Veracity. 

"Veracity, there's the one I was missing. You look good in the dress. Are you alright?"

Hearing the words of Lucifer, Veracity was surprised. Why was he talking like that? 

"Anyways, where's Eve?"

As Lucifer asked, a door opened and Eve stepped inside, drying her wet hair with a towel.

"You're up. How was your sleep?" Eve asked. 

"Not half bad. Anyways, now that you're all here, I have something to tell you."

He told everyone about his plan of going to the Island alone. Hearing his plan, everyone simply looked at him weirdly, surprised at his place.. It seemed a bit dangerous.
