Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 836: Welcoming

Lucifer kept traveling alone, soon reaching the end of the Dungeon, unaware that there were people who were trying to catch up to him.

Soon, he reached the end of the Dungeon, finding a dead end. "This was all? This wasn't as challenging as I thought? Where is the person who challenged me to come here? Was this a joke?"

Lucifer looked everywhere but couldn't find any other way. Ultimately, he decided to turn around and leave.

He had only taken one step back when a figure stepped out of the wall in the back. "Lucifer Azarel, it looks like you really kept your side of the deal. You reached here."

"So here you are..." Lucifer turned around, slightly surprised as to where this person came from.

Without wasting a single second, he tossed out a lightning bolt.

Before the lightning bolt could hit the man, the figure stepped back, passing through the wall in the back. The lightning bolt also passed through.

"A secret entry?"

Lucifer also flew inside the wall, feeling as if he had passed through another barrier.

~~~

"It's a dead end," Jian commented, looking at the wall. "I think we really flew past that person without realizing. Where is Milena? Maybe she saw him?"

"There she comes." Lucifer noticed Milena flying towards him.

"Are you alright? Did he attack you?" Milena exclaimed in shock.

"Why would he attack me?" Lucifer asked. "I'm fine. We just had a race which I lost."

"I just sensed the aura of his other personality. I thought he was attacking you. I came as fast as I could, but you two were really fast," Milena explained.

"He just used his other self to win. However, it's interesting that you mentioned about his other personality, which is stronger than his usual one," Lucifer let out, shaking his head.

"I forgot to mention it. I just remembered. I was just so immersed in everything. I thought you knew about it. I just thought of the possibility of you not knowing it," Milena explained, lowering her gaze.

"Is there anything else I don't know about?" Lucifer inquired right before Jian. It was a general question, so he didn't bother if Jian heard them.

"There's one more thing. Right before our battle started, Arthur told me more about the abilities of Jian," Melina said, glancing at Jian. "He can't die. He's immortal in a sense."

"He has healing as well?"

"No. His immortality is different from yours. He doesn't have healing. Instead, it's his body that returns to a perfect condition as soon as he dies. His body reserves its time by a day to bring him back to life. Moreover, every death makes him stronger," Milena described.

Lucifer glanced at Jian with a bit of surprise. This Ability was certainly good as it was instant healing from death to a perfect status. However, one department in which it was behind his healing was that it couldn't heal wounds as long as he didn't die.

"She isn't wrong," Jian innocently smiled. "However, there are some things that even she doesn't know. I'll let them be a secret for now."

As he spoke, he lazily shifted his body back to stand with his back resting against the wall.

"Wha-"

His body didn't get the support of anything solid behind him as he passed through the wall, falling on the other end.

"The entrance of the Higher Dungeon..." Lucifer muttered. He had a feeling it was something like that. Who knew Jian was going to find the entrance first.

"Milena, stay alert. We're entering a higher grade Dungeon that has never been explored before. Moreover, the people on the other end are already expecting us, so there might be a trap there. Be careful," Lucifer reminded Milena before he turned into a shadow and passed through the wall.

Milena also took a step forward and passed through the stone wall, disappearing.

....

Lucifer came out of a different wall, noticing Jian standing before him. There was no one else in the surrounding area.

He jumped out of his shadow as well.

"What is this place?" Jian asked, glancing back.

Milena also came out by now.

"It's a Higher Grade Dungeon, it seems. This was connected to the other Dungeon," Lucifer explained. "Let's continue the search."

"You knew about this, didn't you? You knew the mission involved a Higher Grade Dungeon?" Jian asked, frowning. "That's why we haven't found the friends of yours we're looking for, and you weren't surprised either."

"Of course, I knew about it. I'm here to save my friends," Lucifer explained. "I already told you at the start that we'll be saving them from a Dungeon. It might be a Higher Grade Dungeon, but it's still a Dungeon. Moreover, the last Dungeon wasn't even a challenge. This couldn't be much different either."

"Come." Lucifer took the lead.

He was slightly surprised though. He had expected to be welcomed by hordes of Monsters that were to be here to kill him, but there was nothing.

"You think the person who was ahead of us also entered this place?" Jian asked. "If that's the case, we might be seeing a few dead bodies soon."

"Maybe," Lucifer muttered. Since the entrance wasn't that hard to discover, it wasn't hard to believe that someone else could've entered this place as well. He was still more concerned about no one being here to attack them. He couldn't even feel any danger?

"Greetings Lucifer Azarel. If only got knew just how many special people are here to welcome you..." The dark figure muttered, standing before Lucifer, who just came following him.

There were four more people standing in the back, all having a frighteningly powerful aura.

He had just appeared in a completely unknown place only to be welcomed by Dungeon Dwellers that looked like humans. He didn't even know that the people in the back were Dungeon Dwellers.

"Who are you all? What do you want from me?" Lucifer asked.

"Who are we...? I suppose you don't need to know the answer to that question." A fifth person stepped out of the Shadow, appearing to be a bulky man, dressed in lavish dark clothes. "Just know that we're the people who have been wronged. And you have the key to make things right for us."

The man had the strongest aura of all of them. He also looked the calmest of them all. The others had a look of excitement on their faces for some reason, as if they had received the biggest just with the arrival of Lucifer.

The man kept walking closer to Lucifer, and with each of his steps, Lucifer felt a quake in his heart.
