Inhuman Warlock Chapter 852: Free Soul

Chapter 852: Free Soul
"This was a fake seed planted by them to make sure Lucifer works for him. As the other Lucifer didn't do any critical thinking, he couldn't catch a lie. However, the one with experience found multiple loopholes in the story, and now he was sure it was a lie. The video was also of this crystal. So everything was a lie. The only truth about this whole thing was that Yaliza and I were captured! Everything else was a lie," Salazar further stated.
The red crystal disappeared completely, leaving no trail behind. Lucifer stood silently, not speaking anything. However, there was a volcano inside his heart. It wasn't just the fact that he was fooled. However, he was given hope, and then it was snatched away. This made him even angrier.
He looked towards the roof of the mansion, taking a deep breath.
"Arghhhh!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, letting out all his emotions. "I will kill you!"
He made sure to use his sonic voice as he screamed to make sure his voice reached Licorice.
Thousands of shadows came out of his shadow and flew out. Now that Licia wasn't here, there was nothing that could trap his shadows which were a perfect weapon to locate his parents.
A few seconds after all his shadows left, his robe waved behind him as he turned around after letting out the scream, not speaking anything.
Milena wanted to talk to him and to comfort him, but she didn't know what she could do. She herself went through such emotions in her past, and no matter what others said, it didn't calm her down.
She knew that the person needed to be alone with their thoughts at times like this. She couldn't disturb him, but she couldn't leave him alone. She silently followed behind him.
Even Lucifer didn't realize the strength of his emotions which had traveled far and wide. The Dungeon was under the sea, so no clouds were above it, but if one were to look from a distance, they would've noticed that the dark clouds had covered the entire sea.
One of Lucifer's shadows located Licorice with another Lucifer.
Getting the information, Lucifer started flying towards that spot.
....
In an unknown location, a world existed which was destroyed from top to bottom. Not a single life form or plantation existed in the world.
The entire world was barren, only having volcanos that kept exploding at regular intervals.
A young man, seemingly in his late twenties, sat in the world, on a lonely cliff, staring thousands of feet down at the bottom, lost in thoughts. It was unclear what he was thinking, but his lack of expression made him look very mysterious.
Slowly, the man looked to his left, noticing a projection of a man sitting beside him. The other man was none other than Licorice.
"So you're still hiding in this place?" Licorice asked. "Reminiscing how you destroyed our home?'
The man didn't reply. His colorful eyes looked at Licorice emotionless.
"Not going to say anything now?" Licorice asked.
"You don't have to distract me," the man finally responded. "I already know what is happening and what you're trying to do. I won't interfere."
He could already see that Licorice was here using the connection with Lucifer, through which he was stealing his energy to use on the barrier. He didn't even bother to stop him, as if this much energy was nothing for him.
"You know what I'm trying to do?" Licorice asked. "Then you also know next time I'll come for you?"
The man only nodded his head. "Why else do you think I'm still in this world? I will let Destiny take its course. If you succeed, come. I'll be here. If you don't succeed, even then, it doesn't matter since I'll still meet someone I need to meet."
"Would that someone be Lucifer?' Licorice asked. As he was gathering the energy, he still had some time that he could waste here. It wasn't often he got the time to talk to the destroyer.
The man didn't reply, going silent once again.
After a few minutes, he finally opened his lips. "Thank you."
"What? You're thanking me? For what?" Licorice asked, stunned. Why was this man thanking him? What did he do?
"I think that much energy should be enough for you to break the barrier," the man let out, talking about something else entirely. "You can leave."
The man snapped his fingers.
Boom~
Licorice heard an explosion as his illusory body disappeared. He also felt as if the connection he was using through Lucifer was gone. He found himself back in the Dungeon, still holding the hands of Lucifer. However, he couldn't feel that connection anymore.
It didn't matter though. The man was right. He had collected enough energy to break the barrier, but the energy wasn't with him. He was just establishing the connection. As it was through Lucifer's body, all the excess energy was stored inside his body.
In any case, he could use that energy since Lucifer was with him and didn't know what to do with that energy.
He kept holding the hands of Lucifer and placed his other hand on the barrier.
A wave of violent energy came out of his fingers which was absorbed by the barrier; however, the energy seemed to be too much for the barrier. Cracks started developing on the barrier, which multiplied. Within a second, the entire barrier was covered in cracks.
Tuck~
Ultimately, the cracks were enough to shatter the barrier as if it was nothing but a piece of glass.
"Finally," Licorice smirked. Still holding onto Lucifer's hands, he stepped ahead.
~~~~
Three minutes later, Lucifer also arrived on that spot.
"They broke the barrier. The core of the Dungeon must be ahead," he muttered as he continued his flight.
~~~
The distance of the core of the Dungeon from the shattered barrier wasn't much. After flying for only a minute, Licorice reached the core of the Temple, where he saw a small violet crystal.
"Sigh, this small thing! This thing has been powering the Dungeon for so long? This was what gathered our energy! This tiny fragment is what made this place a prison! But not anymore! We'll be free finally!" The man exclaimed as he picked up the crystal from the center of the room.
He reached out his hand towards Lucifer. "Give me your hand. After we break this crystal, your parents' souls will be free."
Lucifer raised his hand again.
Licorice held his hand. At the same time, the other Lucifer stepped inside the core. Gusts of winds accompanied him as he landed inside the core with Milena and others.
