Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 57 - 57: Self Defence

"When they are powerful, they toy with life, and when they are weak, they beg for life. This is what this world has become," Lucifer said as he started towards Fray. "I will cleanse this place today."

His short-tempered and slightly broken heart was stopping him from seeing the reality. What happened to him at the lab and the restaurant had made him short-sighted.

He thought everyone who tried to stop him was terrible. He couldn’t see that Fray had actually done nothing to harm him. Instead, Fray was only trying to stop him to save his people.

Fray cast another barrier using his ability to entrap Lucifer. Lucifer was once again trapped, but Fray didn’t stop there. He cast another plasma barrier on top of the one that was already there. After that, he cast another plasma barrier.

One after another, he kept casting the barriers until Lucifer was inside ten plasma barriers.

Even though Fray had cast ten plasma barriers, he was having a hard time maintaining them. He had overdrawn his powers which had a heavy toll on his body.

"Go fast and call the others here! I can’t hold him in for long," he again reminded the employees of the shop as he saw them standing there, but they didn’t move.

They started pointing towards the barrier with a blank look on their faces.

Fray looked at the barrier and noticed that the green barrier was turning black and rotten.

"Run, you idiot!" Fray scolded the men, who finally listened and started running towards the door.

The employees of the shop ran out in droves, leaving the shop. Most started running towards the police station, while some ran towards the Red Eagles Guild.

Inside the barrier, Lucifer wasn’t doing anything. He was just touching the barrier with his fingers and letting his S-Rank Decay do the rest. The Plasma barrier was getting disintegrated from the inside out, and soon, the tenth barrier was destroyed as well.

That was when Fray dropped to the ground after coughing out a mouthful of blood. He had received another backlash after someone broke his barrier that he had worked so hard to make. His eyes closed as he remained unmoving as if he was dead.

Lucifer walked up to Fray, who was lying on the ground after getting free, but he could only watch Fray unmoving, in curiosity.

He was dead? How? Was it how that old guy had died after using his power when he shouted overdrive last time? He couldn’t help but assume as he saw Fray.

Shaking his head, he turned back and wore his gloves again as he started looking around the shop to choose the clothes for himself.

After a short time, he had selected the clothes that he liked.

He had selected black jeans, a green t-shirt, and a red jacket over it all. He had also selected shoes now. All of these clothes were his size, so he didn’t look odd now.

After getting dressed, he left.

...

Lucifer stepped out of the showroom and started walking away.

He had only walked a few meters away from the showroom when a woman walked past him towards the showroom.

She walked closer to the showroom. As she was focusing on her phone, she wasn’t paying attention.

She reached near the door which opened, allowing her to enter, but she felt something weird. It was as if her shoes were on water or something. She could feel the splashing.

She took her eyes off her phone and looked down, only to see a red liquid below her feet that looked like blood.

Her face turned pale as she started looking around. She saw bodies, unmoving.

A scream escaped her mouth.

She was about to call the cops with her shaking hands, but she heard sirens outside.

The cops were already informed by the staff that had run away, so they were already here.

The cops had just arrived.

A group of six cop cars stopped before the showroom, and around Twenty cops stepped out of the car with their weapons.

They entered the place and pointed their guns towards the woman.

"Hands in the air!" They told the woman as they saw her standing with her back towards them.

The woman raised her hands as she turned back.

The cops saw that her face was covered in tears.

"T-thank god, you’re here, officer. I was just about to call you guys. Look at it! There is a killer in our city!" the woman let out.

The one leading the team of the cops was Sergeant Trafford, who couldn’t help but frown as he heard her words.

"Ahmm... sir, they said that a kid was killing people. She might be another witness," another cop said.

Sergeant Trafford looked at the woman without lowering his gun.

"Did you see the killer?" he asked.

"N-no. I came just a few seconds before your arrival. This place was already like this. I haven’t even touched anything other than the door yet," The woman replied.

"Alright. We’ll need to take you to the station for your statement. Carl, Take her in and get her in the car."

The Sergeant looked towards another cop and instructed him.

The woman was handcuffed and taken into the police car.

The other cops looked at the scene and sighed.

"The people claimed that Master Fray was keeping the person trapped. I also informed the Red Eagles because of that," Sergeant Trafford muttered as he looked at the faces of all the Bodies in the showroom.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a man, lying in the ground, face down. The man had red hair, which reminded him of Fray.

Before he could step forward, he heard a sound from their back. The glass doors of the showroom were opened.

He glanced back and saw five people entering the showroom. All five were wearing the same color of jacket that had a Red Eagles Insignia on it.
