Inhuman Warlock Chapter 486 - 486: Partially

Chapter 486 - 486: Partially

Lucifer walked back and forth on the island, trying to think of a way to escape. He even tried hurting himself, thinking it would help him wake up.

He attacked his leg with his lightning.

As the lightning bolt pa.s.sed through his leg, a hole became apparent in his leg, which soon healed. However, for some reason, he didn't feel pain.

"It was such a far-fetched idea. Of course, it wasn't going to work," Lucifer muttered, shaking his head.

He was already out of ideas as he couldn't come up with anything. He was like a sitting duck who was waiting for his healing to somehow wake him up.

Finding himself so helpless, he was angry as well. He was especially angry at himself, kicking the sand as he walked here and there.

"Hmm?"

He slowly looked up, noticing his surroundings getting dark. It was as if it was evening suddenly. It shouldn't have been that way since he had just seen a bright sun in the sky.

As he looked up, his lips widened. It wasn't evening but something else that was creating this darkness.

He noticed a giant being in the sky which was so big that even the sun and its light was hidden behind it.

As for the ma.s.sive being, it was the same statue that Lucifer had seen in the temple.

The headless being was flying above him. His size was even bigger than a mountain from what it appeared.

"So I was right. This was your work. A dungeon dweller that survived the onslaught of the Variants? Or should I say a dungeon dweller who didn't even take part in the war and instead chose to hide in the temple here?" Lucifer asked, glaring at the ma.s.sive statue in the sky.

Unlike in the temple, the statue was still in this place. His face was also more expressive. The face on its stomach had a broad smile as if he was mocking Lucifer.

"Is this the dream world created by you?" Lucifer asked as his body started floating up.

He flew higher in the sky, getting closer to the ma.s.sive statue.

Even though he asked the question, Lucifer hadn't expected an answer since he believed this thing wouldn't be able to speak.

"That's right. This is a world created by me. Or you can say, a prison created by me to hold you temporarily," the statue answered, proving Lucifer's a.s.sumption wrong.

"And you're now here to destroy my consciousness?" Lucifer asked again, having a general idea.

The statue said his stay was here temporarily. That could only mean his consciousness was either going to go back to his body or die here, making those words true.

He was sure that the statue wouldn't free his consciousness, so it could only mean he was here to destroy him entirely?

"I must say, this is a good plan. I thought I was immortal, but I forgot that the body could be immortal but not the soul. If you destroy my soul, I'll be killed. Hah, all this time, I was thinking if I could ever get my eternal sleep. And here, I finally have a way, don't I?" he asked.

The statue smirked again, luckily his lips. "You're partially right."

"Partially?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

As he kept the statue busy in conversation, he continued getting closer to the statue. In the meantime, he also started using his powers.

He was sure that his attacks couldn't hurt the statue in this dream world since he wasn't a physical ent.i.ty here, but this was the only thing he could come up with at the moment.

He had no other way to resist than trying this. If it worked, then it was perfect, but if it didn't work, he could finally sleep peacefully in the embrace of death.

He found both options acceptable, even though he was more inclined towards staying alive since he still wanted to find his origin.

"That's right. I'm not here to destroy your soul. I'm here to possess your soul," the Statue answered, showing his stone teeth.

"Possessing my soul?" Lucifer asked, frowning. His face twisted in disgust. "What?"

"A fraction of my soul will merge with your soul, taking control of it," The statue answered. "You would still live, but just as a spectator, listening to all my commands."

"In short, you want to make me your slave?" Lucifer inquired, unable to believe.

He had thought that he was here to destroy Lucifer, but he was here to take control of his body?

"That's right. I have arranged everything to make sure it happens. Your body already has my Divine Insects, making it even stronger, so your body is worthy of my possession," The statue answered.

"You should thank me instead. Because of me, your abilities will be even stronger," he added, cackling evilly.

" I understand now. I know why Sirius was stupid enough to call you an angel? You possess him too? Don't you feel embarra.s.sed with self praise?" Lucifer asked, rolling his eyes.

"I think I can put the pieces together. Sirius came here to destroy the temple, but he found his way inside the Temple accidentally. He found his way to you, falling for your trap. You possessed him and let him leave."

"Through him, you wanted to take control of the continent, but you were scared of the Warlocks realizing the truth and coming to wipe you out? You're a coward, so that explains it."

"You ran away from the battle with the humans, probably after seeing that you all had no chance. That would explain why you were scared of humans here. You didn't want them to come after you, knowing that it was the work of a Dungeon Dweller. You are scared of death, aren't you?"

"Unlike the other Dungeon Dwellers, you didn't face death bravely and ran here. In fact, you probably didn't even leave the Temple for years in fear."

"Even though you had control of Prince Sirius, you were still scared. You wanted to remove all the threats, and that's where Milena came to play."

"Sirius saw Milena, and through his powers, he managed to guess her abilities. And through him, you also knew her abilities. That's when you decided to use Milena to remove all threats, right?"

"I mean, Sirius could easily have freed Milena without having her run away. He was the Prince, after all. However, it was important for your plan that Milena hated everyone else."

"That's why you used Sirius, having him pretend to be an ordinary guard who took mercy at Milena."
