Inhuman Warlock Chapter 350 - 350: Can't Afford Two Crazies

Chapter 350 - 350: Can't Afford Two Crazies

" They sent Jenilia all the way here for the stone. Why didn't you use your tricks to get the stone?" Lucifer asked Quan.
" Varant even refused me. No matter how much I tried, he didn't give it to me. Of course, I couldn't directly ask him either to not make him suspicious," Quan answered, slightly confused.
He wondered why he was asked another question? Wasn't it the turn of General Maxwell?
"In any case, getting the stones wasn't our mission, I suppose. Even though I don't know what he actually wanted, I'm sure getting the stone was only secondary in his list," he further said, clenching his teeth in pain.
Lucifer stood up and patted his clothes.
"I think I got all the answers I wanted from you. Quan, you have two more points than General Maxwell. So my next question will be for both of you."
"It's a question for three points and the last question. The person who answers will win and survive. The one who couldn't will fail and die. Are you two prepared?" he asked the two men.
Quan was upset on the inside. He had a two points lead, according to Lucifer, and it was the last question. Technically, he had won, but Lucifer was cheating by making it a three point question!
It cheated him of his advantage and gave an unfair advantage to General Maxwell who was losing in points.
By making it a three point question, Lucifer had once again brought the two of them back to square one.
When Lucifer said that it was the last question, General Maxwell felt like his heartbeat stopped for a moment since he knew he had lost.
As soon as he realized that it was a three point question, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He still had the chance of survival.
"Last question for the two of you. How do you contact the Warlock Council President from here?" Lucifer asked, smiling.
General Maxwell was completely silent as he heard the question. He started worrying since he knew he couldn't answer this question even if he wanted to. Quan could contact him, and only he knew how to contact.
"I didn't contact him! Only Quan was allowed to!" Despite not knowing the answer, he still spoke.
Quan felt a deep elation in his heart, hearing the question. Amongst the two of them, only he could answer the question. It meant that he had won if he answered.
"I contacted him by calling him! Only I have his number! It's...."
Quan not only answered Lucifer, but he also blurted out the number of Warlock Council President.
"So, I won, right?" he asked after answering.
"That's right. You won," Lucifer agreed. "The small competition is over. Congrats on the victory."
"I'm free to leave now? I'm forgiven as per your promise, right?" Quan let out as he excitedly stood up. "Now that I'm forgiven, can I go back to the city? I need to see a doctor urgently."
"Don't worry. I don't think you'll need to see a doctor anymore," Lucifer muttered, turning back.
Fast winds flew, slicing the heads of both General Maxwell and Quan.
"Enjoy your stay in hell," Lucifer said, walking back with his hands behind his back.
He didn't even bother decaying the two of them since he didn't want to dirty his hands.
Instead of going back to where they came from, Lucifer and others stepped out of the closest exit by simply creating one.
It was Alicia who made that opening on the roof of the tunnel.
Everyone left through the opening to find themselves in the middle of the city, near the Hunter Union headquarters.
Some of the Variant Uprising members were still fighting the Hunter Union Warlocks. Lots of bodies were lying all around them, including the bodies of some Uprising Members.
"Kellian?" Lucifer casually called.
"I'm on it," Kellian said, jumping into the battle.
Kellian proved to be a fatal addition on the battlefield, turning the tides even more in favor of the Uprising with the help of his Shadows.
Lucifer didn't interfere and simply watched the battle play out.
During the battle, a stray energy wave flew towards Lucifer and the others. Lucifer didn't even bother blinking as a barrier appeared before him, protecting him from the attack.
"You can at least try dodging the attack, can't you?" Alicia asked Lucifer, rolling her eyes.
"Why would I when you're here with that barrier? In any case, that attack wasn't all that powerful?" Lucifer asked in return. "It would be a different matter if you weren't right beside me."
" What if my barrier isn't strong enough to stop the attack someday?"
"Then you'll blow up to smithereens because of the attack, and I'll heal and be back to normal." Lucifer shrugged.
"You are really-" Alicia started replying, but she couldn't finish as she stopped.
She held her head which suddenly started aching as if it was going to blow up.
"Are you alright?" Lucifer asked, wondering what happened to her suddenly. She was grabbing onto her head with both her hands.
"I-it hurts! It hurts so much!" Alicia yelled as she sat on her knees, still holding her head
She even shut her eyes tightly as she started seeing weird flashes in front of her eyes.
One moment she was lying on a bed as syringes were stabbed in her back. The next moment, she was sitting on the battlefield, holding her head.
She felt like her head was splitting apart.
"What happened? Alicia! Are you alright?" Lucifer asked, slightly concerned.
"I-i don't know. My head is hurting so much!" Alicia yelled as her eyes started getting wet. Tears started trickling down.
"You need to calm down first. Don't think about anything. You are perfectly fine," Lucifer suggested as he tried to calm Alicia, who seemed like she was losing it.
"I don't know what's happening! Please stop it! Please stop it! My head will blow up!" Alicia yelled as a barrier formed around her, trapping her in a cocoon.
Inside the barrier, she kept screaming in pain as she saw many strange scenes flash through her eyes. In all of those scenes, she saw only one face... The face of a white-robed man who looked like a scientist.
"She was perfectly fine. What happened to her suddenly? What should we do?" Cassius asked, concerned about Alicia. "If it stays like this, I worry that she might go crazy!"
"I'll stop it then. We can't afford two crazies," Lucifer muttered, sighing.
He took off both his gloves and kept them in his pockets before he stepped closer to the barrier.
