Inhuman Warlock Chapter 578 - 578: Invitation

Chapter 578 - 578: Invitation

The lightning core grew a second time with another absorption, but that wasn't the end of it. Since it still wasn't double the size, Lucifer kept throwing more and more abilities to the lightning core without stopping.

The more he tried, the more tired he became. However, it finally happened. After he sacrificed his 200th core to the lightning core, the core finally reached the threshold and even crossed it!

At one moment, Lucifer was even sure that it wasn't going to work. When he had tossed the 100th core, the lightning core was just a tiny bit away from the threshold, but that threshold was the hardest.

He had to toss another hundred cores just to break that threshold since he didn't want to give up. He had already decided that he wasn't going to believe this diary if the 200th core didn't work either. Fortunately, it did.

"Two hundred similar ranked abilities to increase one S-Rank ability... No wonder this theory wasn't mentioned anywhere. No one could achieve this successfully since every person had only one or two abilities. Even the best Warlocks only had a couple of abilities at best."

"If I'm not wrong, Nicola was probably killed by one such Warlock who believed his theory and sacrificed his ability for no reason."

Lucifer muttered softly as he kept observing the changes in his lightning core. The core looked much darker now. Moreover, there was lightning inside the core as well, which wasn't before. It was as if the core was a world in itself which contained the most terrifying of lightning.

Seeing lightning flash inside the core was something he found very amusing. However, it wasn't the only place where Lightning was cracking.

Even in the outside world, a heavy lightning storm had taken place around Lucifer.

Roar~

Bright lightning had formed a tornado that was spinning around him. The sky was already dark since it was night, but it was occasionally s.h.i.+ning as lightning occasionally flashed, highlighting the dark clouds in his surroundings.

Lucifer slowly opened his eyes. As his eyes were opened, a tiny bolt of lightning was also momentarily visible, flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

He observed the thunderstorm that was circling him. Everything appeared to be new. He felt a connection with the lightning that he had never felt before.

In the past, he felt like lightning was his acquaintance, but now he felt like lightning wasn't a stranger but a part of his family that he could understand and talk

He slightly raised his hand. With the rise of his fingers, all the lightning storms disappeared as if they were never there.

Two dark wings appeared behind his back as he stood up, not even trying to wipe the smirk off his lips.

He wasn't sad that he had sacrificed hundreds of peak abilities since they were nothing before what he had now! He was now a Warlock with an ability that was above S Rank.

He flew high in the sky, floating between the clouds and the ground before raising both his hands. Hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky, following his single gesture, but unlike before, they didn't fall on the ground.

The lightning bolts stopped in the middle of the air, around Lucifer.

In the past, the lightning bolts were like the spear of Zeus. Once they were thrown, they couldn't be controlled or retracted. They crashed where they were aimed. But now, the bolts were like a part of his body that could follow him like loyal soldiers.

Lucifer started spinning where he floated. The lightning bolts which were around him also started spinning, creating an even bigger thunderstorm.

Lucifer stopped, and so did the lightning bolts.

As he raised his hand towards the sky, all the lightning bolts went back inside the clouds before disappearing.

"This was worth it. The biggest weakness of lightning is gone. And it's even stronger. Moreover, I haven't even tried all the things I can achieve now. A worthy sacrifice," Lucifer muttered.

He brought out a diary from his pocket and stared at it. "Nicola, you were a genius. If you're actually alive, you deserve to be awarded."

Lucifer wanted to evolve even more abilities, but he knew he didn't have enough. He believed he needed around two hundred to grow other top abilities of his, and he didn't have enough.

"More abilities, huh. Isn't there a war we need to attend to?" His smirk widened as he remembered the Warlock Council. Soon, he was going to be back to fight the Warlock Council.

That war was like a feast for him! He could hunt enough Warlock to grow all his original abilities!

He observed his surroundings once again before he flew back to the Snow Clan Mansion, filled with confidence that he was capable of facing any challenge with his newfound strength, even the High Beast Leaders.

Reaching his room, he dropped straight to his bed since he was extremely tired by now. Even though he was just sitting when sacrificing his abilities, it took a heavy mental toll, making him extremely tired.

He didn't even bother to take off his cloak as he fell asleep.

It was four in the early morning when he slept. And in just two hours, Hun came knocking at his door to wake him up.

Lucifer was so heavily asleep that he didn't even wake up at the knocks.

Worrying about Lucifer, Hun used the other key to open the door. Entering the room, he checked up on him.

"Hah, just sleeping. I thought something had happened. It's alright. Take enough sleep..."

He left the room and went to wake the others. Unlike Lucifer, Salazar and Jenilia woke up instantly.

Jenilia was once again served in the room while Salazar went to dinner with Hun after making sure that Lucifer was sleeping and didn't want to wake up.

Hun set aside food for Lucifer.

"Where is the other one?" Hun's father asked after seeing only Salazar with Hun.

"He is sleeping. Maybe he slept late last night. Who knows," Hun responded, taking a seat.

" Sleeping late? What were you two doing last night?" Hun's father asked Salazar, already knowing the answer. "You should sleep on time."

"We'll keep that in mind." Salazar nodded.

After finis.h.i.+ng dinner, he went back to his room.

...

It was four in the afternoon when Lucifer woke up from his sleep. He washed his face before looking out the window to check the time.

"I'm already late, it seems."

The food was already placed on the table beside him. He quickly finished eating before going to Salazar's room.

They had everything prepared. They had the stone and the answers which he needed. Now all he needed to do was to watch Gon and leave with him.

"Ah, you woke up! I was waiting for you! Hurry and get prepared! We're going to the wedding in the Phoenix Clan! Apparently we got an invitation!" Hun saw Lucifer leaving his room and called out.
