Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 74 - 74: Joining Battle

The beasts hadn’t even started attacking yet when they saw a Lightning Bolt coming in their direction. Before the Silver Tiger could even react, the lightning bolt passed through its head, giving it a painful yet fast death.

All the beasts started roaring as they saw one of them being killed. They were all furious as they started running even more fiercely.

The Chimera Eagles that were flying in the sky opened their mouths. Multiple beams of white light came out of their mouths in the direction of Lucifer.

The group of Silver Tigers also opened their mouths, firing an orb of white light, filled with a strange energy, towards Lucifer. The orb of light seemed to be filled with massive amounts of energy that could be enough to scare any person out of their wit, but Lucifer didn’t back off.

He watched the Chimera Eagle and the Silver Tigers attack him; however, the other beasts didn’t, making him feel like the others didn’t have the strength to attack in long range.

Watching tens of beams of white light and six spheres filled with a terrifying amount of energy coming towards him, Lucifer reacted fast. He didn’t want to be hit by any of these attacks since he didn’t want to be at a disadvantage against the hundreds of beasts by being wounded.

He knew that he couldn’t use the blunt approach against them since this battle was clearly different from fighting against Variants.

The beasts weren’t going to let him heal if they managed to get a hold of him. He didn’t want to take the risk of dying during the battle, especially because of his negligence.

"I need to kill the flying beasts first. It should be easier with them gone," he muttered just as the attacks were about to hit him.

Smashing his feet on the ground once again, he used all his S-Rank Strengthening to jump high in the sky. This time, he didn’t focus on moving ahead but only up.

He easily jumped Twenty meters high in the sky while the attacks landed on the ground, hitting nothing but empty dust, creating a five-meter deep crater that seemed to have a diameter of over two meters.

....

"H-he is flying?!" Weston exclaimed in shock as he saw Lucifer flying into the sky from the windshield of his car.

" He’s not flying. He’s jumping. I mean, he did fly a little while he was running, from what I could see, but that was all. He couldn’t fly any higher. He should be flying high from the start if he could. I don’t think it’s possible for him," Saele muttered, shaking his head.

"Ah, so that’s what it is. Why did he jump that high, though? Wouldn’t it be tougher to target while he’s falling after jumping so high?" Weston asked. He was a Sorcerer-class Variant and not a Warrior, so he didn’t understand.

" He might become a target, or he can be careful about this situation and utilize it for his benefit. Let’s just enjoy the entertainment. It’s our two enemies fighting against each other," Saele replied as an amused smile forming on his face.

Placing his hand behind his back, he got in a more comfortable position to enjoy the battle.

....

Swinging his right hand, Lucifer fired another bolt of lightning to target a beast, but this time, he knew the one he needed to target. The beasts who could attack in long range seemed to be the ones he needed to take out first.

His main target seemed to be on the Chimera Eagle in the lead. Attacking with the lightning bolt, he used his Wind element to boost himself forward to stop himself from falling down.

Even though he hadn’t mastered flying at a higher altitude, now that he had managed to reach so high with the help of jumping, he could use his Wind Element to fly to a short distance.

The lightning bolt advanced towards the flying eagle, who moved to the side, dodging it. Unfortunately, the Chimera Eagle behind it seemed to be unaware that the one in front would dodge in the last moment. The Chimera Eagle behind the main target was killed instead as it fell down.

"As expected, these are some clever birds," Lucifer acknowledged as he flew ahead.

Since the Chimera Eagles were moving in his direction, the distance between the two of them decreased at an even faster pace until Lucifer was directly in front of a Chimera Eagle.

The Lion-like mouth of the Chimera Eagle opened as soon as it reached Lucifer after it managed to dodge the previous lightning bolt, but it was already too late.

Lucifer caught the Chimera Eagle by its neck and started falling down along with the Chimera Eagle, smashing it above a Silver Skinned Tiger who seemed to be just below them.

Using all his strength, he smashed the Chimera Eagle on the ground. The force seemed to be so fierce that it not only killed the Chimera Eagle, but the Silver Tiger also died instantly as its bones were crushed.

Raising the body of the Chimera Eagle that had already started to disintegrate, he rotated his body in a complete circle, smashing all the beasts that were near him before releasing the body of the Chimera Eagle towards one of the Skeleton Soldier in the back.

As he was attacking everyone surrounding him, he had managed to see the Armored Vehicles standing in the back.

Recognising the people inside it, a frown appeared on his face.

"So you are here as well," he muttered in a grim tone."I’m not letting you watch. You might as well join too."

Without leaving a chance for the horde of beasts to attack him, he again smashed his feet on the ground and jumped upwards, but instead of attacking the Eagles, he turned his body back, forming another lightning bolt which he threw towards the Armored Vehicle in the lead.

As the lightning bolt flew, it attracted the attention of the beasts on the ground away from Lucifer since it wasn’t targeted at them.

The lightning bolt hit the armored vehicle, not damaging it in the slightest.

"Hah, He saw us. So what? Does he really think he can harm us? We can’t be harmed by lightning as long as we’re inside our Vehicles. He can’t harm us at all," one of the Warriors inside the car laughed as he saw the black lightning bolt disappear after hitting their armored vehicle.

The others, however, weren’t laughing. They seemed to be frowning.

"Why are you guys looking so shocked?" The Warrior asked others in confusion. Not understanding why they were so serious. "Our Vehicle can bear lightning, can’t it?"

" Our Vehicle can handle lightning, but it can’t handle hundreds of Dungeon Dwellers attacking us," Weston muttered as he sighed.

"The damage has already been done. It looks like we would need to join the battle now," Saele declared as he opened the doors of the armored vehicle on his side.

The Warrior still looked confused, not understanding what was happening. Weston decided to explain since he wasn’t sure if the man would ever be able to figure it out on his own.
