Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 921: All out



Chapter 921: All out

As if following Lucifer’s commands, a massive bolt of lightning fell from the sky, straight at the middle-aged man.

The man’s eyes opened wide as he saw the frightened Lightning Bolt, which was a pitch-black like the darkness of nights.

“Thee Black Lightning? Isn’t that the specialty of our Ostrin Clan?” Ron commented in surprise as he recognized the attack.

“This guy is certainly very interesting,” Mander said, frowning. “He can use Winds like the Gale Clan; he can use Black Lightning like the Raasin Clan, he can use wings like the Daemon Clan. Just what is he?!”

Raayi was completely silent at this point. This guy… Everything he showed until now was special. As time passed, she felt more and more that the man was a seeded Candidate sent by the Queen herself. Did this mean she has just mocked the candidate of the queen?

The Black Bolt of lightning fell from the Sky. The middle-aged man was frozen in place. He hadn’t expected an attack like this. He even forgot to move.

Bang~

The Lightning Bolt hit. An explosion took place. Unfortunately, the bolt didn’t hit the middle-aged man. Instead, the attack hit a stark white barrier that had appeared above everyone else to protect them.

The old man appeared in the center like a ghost, glaring at Lucifer. “May I ask what is happening here? You think this is a playground where you can attack your Instructors?”

“He used a life-threatening attack on me first. Maybe you should ask your ‘Instructor’ why he would do that?!” Lucifer asked without backing off.

The old man was taken aback. He gazed back at the middle-aged man in the back. “Is he telling the truth? You attacked a participant with deadly force?!”

“I-i accidentally… I wasn’t thinking straight. It’s because he was undermining my authority and trying to get ahead of me. I lost control for a moment.” The middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

“You lost control?!” The old man roared in rage. “You are an Instructor! You are older and more experienced while the kids are inexperienced in things! Nothing you said justifies attacking him!”

“What if he was harmed? What if he was killed? How would I answer that to the higher-ups?! It’s different if they die in the tournament, going through challenges, but if one dies outside the trials, this is disastrous! How can you make such a mistake?!”

The middle-aged man bowed again. “I am really sorry. I promise this will never happen again.”

“It better not!” The old man rolled his eyes before gazing back at the young man. “Now, take the kids to the place that was decided.”

The middle-aged man took everyone with him, this time not daring to do anything extra.

Lucifer also prepared to follow him, only to be stopped by the old man. “You stay here.”

Lucifer stopped and turned around to face the man. “You need something.”

“He attacked you yet you have not a single scratch on your body. That implies that you managed to dodge that attack. And despite not being harmed at all, you used such an attack on him with the intent to kill.” The old man floated closer to Lucifer with his hands behind his back.

“If I wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t be alive. I just wanted to scare him a little to make him understand it’s never a good idea to attack me like that,” Lucifer answered calmly. “Even if you hadn’t arrived, that attack wouldn’t have landed on him. I would’ve diverted it.”

The old man squinted his eyes. He didn’t know if Lucifer was telling the truth or not, but he could only assume that it was the truth.

“I will take you at your word, but just because he started it, you aren’t allowed to kill him either. If you have the strength to kill him, that means you have the strength to control him or come to me. Next time something like that happens, I don’t want you to kill anyone. Just come to me and inform me. I promise I won’t let you go through any bias. Everything will be fair for you here.”

“I will do that.” Lucifer nodded. He had already done enough for the day to make his future here interesting. He didn’t need to do more. Everything from here was going to happen on its own.

“That’s better. Now follow me.”

The old man started flying away. Lucifer flew after the old man, who went in the same direction as the other Instructor.

As previously Lucifer was immersed in his competition, he hadn’t noticed that he was getting close to the snow mountain. It was only now that he realized where they were going! They were going to the mountain where Gabriel had his house.

‘What do they want to do there?’ Lucifer thought, frowning. “Fortunately, I managed to cover the opening of the house. They shouldn’t be able to see it or find it, but there’s still a possibility that they can sense him. I hope they can’t.”

He was somewhat worried about the Trial being there.

“The Trial is on the Mountain?” Lucifer asked the old man.

“Yes.” The old man didn’t take even a second to answer. “Right on that mountain is the first challenge you’ll have to face. That challenge will also decide your new rankings.”

“So if I win that, I can straight go to rank one?” Lucifer asked.

“Heh, that’s not how it works. There are no winners or losers in that challenge. It’s not something like that. I suppose you haven’t been told enough about your ranks yet, so let me tell you.”

“Ranks aren’t useless, even the initial ones. They can be very rewarding instead since each rank comes with a certain amount of points. For example, if rank one gets five hundred points, rank two gets four hundred fifty, then rank fifty-one will get five points or something like that.”

“As the tournaments progress, you’ll all fight for more points. After coming out of each challenge, you’ll be awarded a certain amount of points. The new points will be added to old points, and the rankings might change.”

“You can climb some tanks, but it’s impossible to get enough points from a few challenges to take the top rank unless the top rankers perform so badly that they get no points at all in the tournaments.”

“That’s why ranks are so important at the start, and only after the deliberations of the High Council the initial ranks are given. Moreover, the top three are considered seeds. They are said to be the winning candidates, each selected personally by a General. So they get even more points at the start for being a seed.”
