Inhuman Warlock Chapter 177 - 177: Eternal Slumber

Chapter 177 - 177: Eternal Slumber

Lucifer didn't do anything as he silently went to his eternal sleep, wondering if he was ever going to return. He wanted to return. He had a desire to return.
His parents still needed justice, and he still needed to find what his parents left behind, but still, he doubted if he could ever return. What Varant had said about his eternal death seemed true.
Even in his last moments, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really the end. If his life finally was free of this dark world.
Could he really sleep in peace now? Far away from this cruel world? Could he meet his parents again, in heaven? Could he finally cry in his mother's embrace again? Could he finally be weak again? Finally, be a child? Many questions were floating in his head as his heart was pulled out.
As soon as Lucifer was killed, Varant also dropped to his knees as if his body had suddenly gone weak. His eyes were bleeding as he kept coughing out the mouthful of blood before he fell even further.
"Backlash is hitting you. You really shouldn't have used your powers like this. Your life can be in danger now. Really an idiot," Riali told Varant as he picked him up and placed him on the seat of the helicopter.
"T-throw him in the sea," Varant told Riali, weakly as he opened his blood red eyes.
"What? Why?" Riali asked, not understanding. They finally had Lucifer, and he was dead. They didn't need to throw him in the sea now? Or was there something that Varant hadn't told them about Lucifer?
Why did he pull his heart out even after killing Lucifer? Something seemed strange. He believed that Varant actually hadn't told him everything.
"Throw!" Varant said firmly before his eyes closed as he stopped moving.
Riali ran up to Varant and checked if he was breathing.
"Sigh, he's still breathing. That's good," Riali muttered as he breathed a sigh of release.
"How strong for the world yet how weak currently. This world really doesn't understand a thing about your powers."
"To use them for two minutes to stop four S-Rank powers of a person, you won't be able to move for a year. Sigh, this limitation on powers can really be a scary thing," he said as he walked back to Lucifer.
"Rowen, attach the oxygen mask to Varant and give him initial treatment," he told Rowen.
" Already on it," Rowen replied.
"If only Lucifer didn't have S-Rank Powers, the backlash would have been minor, and the time of the effect of his power would have been longer. At Least Lucifer is gone now. We won't ever see these eyes again. The world can be at peace in the future too," Riali said as he looked down at Lucifer.
"Throw him in the sea, he says. Whatever, he must know better. I thought we could take him back and do some research, but he should have a reason."
Riali picked up a heavy object and tied it to Lucifer's body just to be sure.
He picked Lucifer up and walked up to the door of the helicopter which was flying above the sea. The helicopter had already gotten far away from the land. No island or land was nearby.
Once Lucifer went down, his body wasn't going to be found for an eternity.
"Sorry, kid," Riali said one last time as he looked at Lucifer's face. Lucifer's eyes were still open, but there was no life in them.
Riali closed Lucifer's eyes before he got ready to throw him in the sea.
" You had a rough childhood that made you what you were. It was sad, and I didn't like it either. But the path you walked was wrong. Destiny made you stand on the path against us. I wonder who I can blame. Certainly not you. This world is a complicated place."
"You faced a lot of sadness in this life. May you rest in peace in the afterlife and have the happiness you deserve. God bless you," Riali said some prayers before he tossed the body of Lucifer outside.
Lucifer's body dropped from a height of thousands of feet from the helicopter before it fell in the sea, making a lot of water splash everywhere.
His body kept drowning. The speed of his drowning was further increased because of the heavy weight that was tied to his body.
Riali took a deep breath before he sighed. Even though he knew it was important, he just threw a kid into the sea. He wondered how his life brought him to this moment.
He had a nine-year-old kid of his own, so he felt even worse about killing a kid, but there was no choice.
He turned back to look at Varant only to see that Lucifer's heart was still in his hand.
"He did tell me to throw, but he forgot to mention the heart. Did he mean it too? Or not?" Riali wondered, confused, if he should throw the heart too.
"He wanted him to be thrown into the sea urgently. I can't wait for him to wake up after we go back. It would be bad if I needed to throw the heart too," he wondered what he should do with the heart.
"Whatever, he must have meant it too. He just didn't realize that the heart was in his hand," Riali said as he walked towards unconscious Varant.
He took Lucifer's heart from Varant before he walked back towards the door and threw the heart outside too.
He walked to the pilot and told him to take the helicopter to the base.
"Do you know who this woman is? She was with Lucifer, and near the Variant Uprising helicopter, so she should be their member, but I didn't remember seeing her face. Could she be a new recruit?" Rowen asked Riali after he looked at Caen who was lying unconscious.
They still hadn't realised that the unconscious lady they had attacked was Caen.
"Who knows? Maybe she's the babysitter of Lucifer in Variant Uprising. We had no time to ask her. We'll ask when she wakes up. Anyway, she was close to Lucifer. They made her accompany their precious prodigy, so she must be an important member at least," Riali answered.
He continued. "We should be able to get a lot of information out of her. Maybe we'll even know about their base now. Their days should be numbered."
The helicopter carrying the APF started flying back to the base while the body of Lucifer kept drowning in the sea until it hit the bottom. He wasn't breathing, and he wasn't healing either. Two minutes had passed, but it seemed like he really was dead.
The silent yet massive sea swallowed the young Warlock.
While the APF thought that it was the end of their troubles, they didn't know. It was just the beginning...
