Inhuman Warlock

1069  Chapter 1070: Waiting for this moment

Although Lucifer had missed his childhood in the Ancient Clan, in the last few years, he appeared to have become the favorite of many. Although he didn't talk much with anyone, many people were fond of him as their young master and the next leader of the clan.

Unfortunately, one day Lucifer disappeared. No one in the Ancient Clan knew where Lucifer had gone, not even his mother. However, once it was discovered that he was missing, the entire Clan was shocked.

The last time Lucifer had left the clan, he had wiped multiple civilizations. Many in the clan wondered if something like this was going to happen again.

Lucifer's father even instructed his men to go out and search for Lucifer without bringing much attention to himself.

Following his instructions, many Ancient Clan Members went to various worlds to see if there were any disturbances. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything wrong at any place. Every place was peaceful.

In an unknown area of the universe, a young man stood in an empty space, his hands behind his back while his eyes remained closed as if he was waiting for something.

Months passed, but the man didn't move at all. He neither ate anything nor drank. All he did was occasionally recover his strength by devouring his surroundings.

He just waited there patiently, unclear as to what he was waiting for.

At this point, the Ancient Clan was starting to worry about Lucifer's whereabouts, his mother and father the most troubled. Unfortunately, none had any idea that he was in his place.

Just like that, three months passed, when finally there was some disturbance in the surrounding area.

Lucifer slowly opened his eyes, his beautiful violet pupils glistening with a strange aura.

"Is it time now?" he mumbled, his eyes looking in the distance. "I didn't know the exact time for that, but according to the Star Alliance history I read, this was the approximate time. To think that I was three months off in my estimates."

The Spatial Disturbance in the surrounding became stronger and stronger and soon, a Spatial Crack opened in the dark space.

From the Spatial Portal, a woman's figure became visible, stepping out of the portal.

"You made me wait for quite a long time, my dear wife..." Lucifer spoke, as he moved.

Before the woman could even completely step out of the portal, she felt a cold hand around her throat.

Grabbing onto her throat, the hand pushed her back in the portal. However, as if that wasn't enough, the person that hand belonged to, also followed inside.

****

In an unfamiliar realm, a woman's figure came flying back from the Spatial Portal, crashing against a distant wall.

From the portal, a man also stepped out. Although the man had not even the slightest trace of any aura which made him appear like a mere mortal, but just by looking into his eyes, it was clear that he was far from simple.

"So this is your home..."

"W-who are you?" Talia asked, coughing heavily as she landed on her feet.

This wasn't her real body but it was her real soul inside this body. Moreover it was a body that had no strength yet as she was supposed to gather strength after entering Lucifer's world.

"You came looking for us, yet you can't even recognise us?" Lucifer asked, an amused smirk constant across his lips.

He had waited for this moment for a long time. Ever since he returned to the past, he had been waiting for this moment.

Other than the Traitors, the only other threat looming over his family was Talia and her family. In this life, he wasn't going to let any threat to his family exist, no matter if it was a friend or a foe.

"Y-you are..." Talia was taken aback as she heard Lucifer's words. His eyes also made his identity evident. She couldn't understand how she came across one of them as soon as she entered that world? Was that just a coincidence?

"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving alive!" Talia exclaimed as she pulled out a dagger. However, instead of attacking Lucifer, she aimed the dagger at herself.

To send her soul back to her real body, she has to die. Moreover, now that Lucifer was here, he had no way back. She wanted to take care of him herself.

She thrust the dagger at herself.

Lucifer used blink, appearing right before the woman. With one hand, he grabbed her wrist and with the other, he held her throat.

"Since you're interested in dying, I should help you myself!"

'You fool! That's right, kill me!' Talia, after realizing she couldn't free the dagger, could only laugh at Lucifer who was going to give her what she wanted by killing her. It was no different than him hitting his foot on an ax.

However, her inner smugness soon disappeared as her face turned pale. "W-what are you doing?"

Her body remained perfectly fine, but she felt a foreign force invading her body, directly targeting her soul.

In the past few years, Lucifer had a lot of time to think about the events of his previous life. And the more he thought about it, the more he started to notice minor things that he hadn't noticed in the past. Keeping all those minor things, he made preparations.

Moreover, with his father's guidance, he had been able to utilize the inheritance core even more perfectly.

With each passing day, Lucifer's abilities grew stronger, and he began to understand the true extent of his powers. His control over the inheritance core allowed him to tap into his old abilities and create new ones.

"Stop!" The Woman roared, feeling a burning sensation as if her soul and mind was being split apart.

If she was to be killed, then her soul could go back. But what if her soul itself was to be destroyed in this weak body? There was nothing left to go back. Even her real body was going to die.

Lucifer moved closer to Talia, his lips next to her ears. "I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this moment. It's always so fun to kill you, in your last life and this one…"
