Inhuman Warlock Chapter 822: Wrong

Chapter 822: Wrong

Reading the file regarding Earth, Lucifer was stunned. Not only was this file from the mission on earth, but it was also belonging to the same time frame in which the Star Alliance had sent Lucifer back to earth.

He went through the entire file before keeping it back. He kept going through the other files; however, the rest of the files didn't have anything special. He checked all the files but only found something special in the first file.

"I guess now I know why I might have killed him. It is quite possible that my current self found out about this just now? Still, even though it's bad, why would I take the risk of killing him? I don't understand."

Lucifer stood up and left the room. He wasn't in the mindset to sit around. However, as soon as he left the room, he felt something strange. It was as if the s.p.a.ce was getting unstable.

"Finally!" Lucifer exclaimed. He knew what this feeling meant. He was being sent back. It couldn't have come at a better time.

Everything turned white. As his eyes opened, he found himself back in the s.h.i.+p.

"She is waking up." Coming to his senses, Lucifer felt a bit weak. He walked back and sat on a chair. His eyes remained on Joana, who was more focused on Milena.

He still didn't know the exact reason as to why he would kill Joana. The mission could've been one reason, but he knew that the missions came from upstairs. He knew he wasn't petty enough to kill Joana for a mission he couldn't refuse.

"Something wrong?" Joana asked, looking back at Lucifer.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about something."

"About what?"

"Nothing. Just some random stuff about what happened back there. It's nothing."

"I can understand. I would've been out of it as well if my friends were killed. Don't worry; take your time."

"Ah, Captain?" Maya chimed in. "Sorry to interfere in your intimate moment, but she's waking up."

"She is? That's good. Lucifer, I think it's your turn to talk to her. Remember, no small talks. We're already running out of time."

"Yeah," Lucifer nodded. He walked to Milena, who slowly opened her eyes.

Milena was momentarily surprised as she remembered the last moment before losing consciousness. She teleported, appearing in a different corner of the room. A sphere of energy appeared before her, which she was ready to attack with. However, she couldn't find Jian anywhere.

Her eyes soon fell on Lucifer. "You? Where am I?"

Except Lucifer, everyone else here was a stranger that she didn't recognize. "You are back."

"I am. Sorry for not being here last time. I was tangled in something and wasn't able to come. It's because of me that so many of our people lost their lives. I'm sorry. But now that I'm here, I'll make everything right."

"They killed everyone... They killed them all right before my eyes...." Milena told Lucifer.

Lucifer hadn't seen Milena cry before, but this time he could see a tear in her eyes. It was the first time he saw that. He doesn't know why but seeing her sad, he also felt a bit sad.

His figure flickered. He appeared before Milena. "I know what they did. I saw it when I went there. But I promise you; I'll give them a pain worse than what they inflicted on our people."

"Now stop crying." He brought his fingers closer to Milena's eyes to wipe her tears but noticed that his fingers were bare. He was back in the past. He couldn't touch her.

Letting out a deep breath, he closed his fist. Gentle winds started flowing that took the tears of Milena with them. "That's the best I can do for now."

Instead of calming down, seeing the care of Lucifer, even more tears came in the eyes of Milena as she hugged Lucifer. "We need to kill them! We need to kill them all for what they did!"

"We will."

"Ah, Lucifer. We're running out of time," Joana reminded Lucifer, smiling wryly. "Can you do that later?"

Lucifer came to his senses. "Milena, remember the stone I asked you to bring? Where is it?"

"That stone... It's right here..."

Milena freed Lucifer and wiped her tears before making a circle with her fingers. Following the movement of her fingers, the spatial portal appeared before Milena.

She placed her hand inside the spatial crack and pulled out a small stone.

"Here." She extended her hand towards Lucifer.

Using his winds, Lucifer made the stone float to Joana. "Find the stones."

Joana grabbed the stone. "Got it!"

"What is happening? Who are these people?" Milena asked, confused.

"You can think of them as friends, I guess. They're here to help me find more stones. They'll scan that stone and locate others. But they need to leave this place. They can't stay here for longer. They need to go back to their worlds."

"Their worlds? What?"

"Oh right, I didn't tell you about that yet. Because of an explosion caused by the Atlantians, I was tossed into s.p.a.ce with Xaen. That's where these people found me. Apparently, there are more words besides ours."

"And there's an organization which is kind of like an authority in s.p.a.ce, made up of people from different worlds. These people are from that organization. They need to go back to their base after bringing me here."

"You mean like the Warlock Council was to Zeston, they are to s.p.a.ce? Are you not joking with me?"

"Why would I tell such a stupid joke? In fact, we're already standing on their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. I'll show you later. But first, I need to focus on the stones. You wake up, rest, and eat something. I'll be right back."

Lucifer made the woman sit before walking to Joana, who was standing before a screen. He had already placed the stone on the table. The scanning had already started.

"Alright, signature of stone captured," Maya commented. "Starting the scanning of the world to find match signatures!"

"Good work. Let's see where the stones are...."

"We are already over our time limit," Joana said, smiling wryly. "Here comes one demerit point. Maya, be fast?"

"We're done!" Maya exclaimed.

"How can we be done? According to Lucifer, there are supposed to be seven stones. The screen only shows two stones on earth. We have one stone. There must at least be six. Where are the other four?"

"They aren't on earth maybe? In any case, I can't answer that question. I can only tell what I find," Maya replied as she started printing a map.
