Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 796: Won't last

He didn't want to fight for anyone else. It wasn't his mission or goal. He had promised himself that he was never going to let himself be used by anyone.

He didn't understand how stupid his future self could be, but with his current mindset, he couldn't convince himself to fight for Uprising, especially against an enemy like that.

He kept eating while keeping an eye on the battle on the screen. The situation was getting worse for the lady, but Lucifer didn't care. Neither did he know her nor he cared. She was no less than a stranger to him.

He finished eating.

"Now that Varant is dead, I have nothing to do. I have no wars to fight for myself, and I don't want to fight for others. It's time I leave."

He stood up and prepared to leave, taking one last glance at the screen. Two figures flew in the air, fighting one another. It was only one side that was losing so far, and it wasn't the side of the man.

Soon, another man joined the battles.

Seeing Arthur use Teleportation while fighting, Lucifer grew really intrigued. However, even with Teleportation, Arthur couldn't gain an advantage as Jian was even faster than Teleportation, it seemed.

In fact, even cameras were having a hard time keeping a focus on him. No one even knew how he was doing it, but the wounds on Milena and Arthur's bodies kept increasing.

"They have healing like me too? Apparently, it wasn't as rare as I thought."

Noticing the wounds on the Nobles' body, Lucifer shook his head. They had healing as well, which somehow disappointed him.

"Even with the healing, they can't last long. They're being hurt faster than they heal. Before they heal one wound, three more appear on them. It's a lost cause."

"And how was I leading them? These people are so strong. Even I would have a hard time defeating this lady, let alone the guy who is having such an easy time defeating her."

He stopped watching and turned to leave. He had enough of watching such things.

Ring~

Just as Lucifer was about to push the door to leave, the phone started ringing again.

The dark-haired man picked up the call. "Hello?"

"Sir," he said, running to Lucifer. "This is for you."

Lucifer stopped. "Place it on my ears."

The man placed the phone on the ears of Lucifer.

"Yes?"

"Lucifer, is it you?" A different voice asked.

"Yeah. Who are you?"

"I am Kellian. I heard you lost your memories. Even then, you should remember me. I met you at the base before you went to the beach."

"Kellian? I think I remember you. I'm not entirely sure."

"So you really did lose your memories. I worked as the second head of Uprising under you. Do you know what happened to you? What made you lose your memories?"

"I don't know anything. The last thing I remember after waking up was that I was in a lab. There was a doctor before me and two men."

"Did they tell you anything? Like where they found you or who they are?"

"They didn't tell me anything."

"Alright, we can ask them later. For now, you need to hear me carefully. We are in the middle of a battle in Triton, and I think you shouldn't join us if you don't remember anything. We can't risk you."

"So wait there. Kane will be right there to take you in. In the meantime, I'll try to handle the situation with Milena here. We need to help you get your memories back fast; only then can we do anything else."

"So go back to the base. Kane will tell you about the last eight years. Maybe seeing history and knowing such things will help jog your memories. You understand, right?"

Lucifer didn't reply. He just looked at his feet which were already half out of the restaurant. He was planning to leave, but he remembered that he needed his memories back. He also needed to know what had happened to him in the last eight years.

As for deciding if he should take part in this battle, he knew he could take that decision even later. It didn't need to be right now.

"Alright, I'll wait." He took his step back, letting the door closed. "But even if I don't have my memories, I have my common sense. Let me suggest you something."

"Suggest what?"

"I'm looking at the battle on the screen, and if the two people fighting with that man in the sky are your best people, then you should run. Run from the battlefield. You can't win. You'll just die fighting."

"You're telling us to run away? Heh, you truly lost your memories, it seems. If it were the old you, you would've been fighting at the front."

"If it were me, even then, I wouldn't have won. The winds are useless against him. He can avoid lightning. He's too fast for me to even touch. I couldn't have harmed him even the least. So even if it were old me, unless I was an idiot in the future, I would've told you to run."

" It's good to risk your life for something personal, dying to take over the world... Even I find that stupid. So run... That's all I'll say. Don't die for the goal of Uprising dominance. Return."

"The Goal of Uprising Dominance? If only you hadn't forgotten, you would've known that Uprising had no plan to expand globally. You brought us on this path because you wanted it. You wanted the entire world to make it the way you want it to be," Kellian responded.

"It's not the goal of the Uprising that we're fighting for. It's your goal we're fighting for."

"My goal? Even if it was my goal, drop it. Leave that place if you don't want to die there. And while you're at it, tell the two fighting in the sky as well. If not, I suppose that they'll die in the next few minutes as well. Don't tell me I didn't warn you."

Lucifer walked back to the table, leaving the phone in the hands of the man. "You can disconnect the call. I'm done."

The dark-haired man followed the commands of Lucifer. Even if Lucifer had forgotten his memories, he was still the man that couldn't be ignored.

Even after knowing that the person on the other end of the call was probably some heavyweight from Uprising, the man disconnected the call before he walked back to Lucifer.

"I was wrong about a few minutes. She'll die in the next few seconds," Lucifer commented, shaking his head. "She should've run away while she had the chance."
