Inhuman Warlock Chapter 1018 Back to earth

Chapter 1018 1018: Back to earth

Lucifer appeared in the Star Alliance Ship. Although he expected the entire atmosphere inside the Ship to be chaotic as Ron was supposed to be chased by the Star Alliance, strangely enough the ship wasn't involved in any fighting.
Instead, it was moving at lightning speed towards Earth. He was curious as to what happened to the ship that was chasing after Ron.
Slightly intrigued, Lucifer entered the Command Center, where everyone was stunned to see him inside.
Before he could even speak a word, he felt a sweet fragrance around him as Alicia jumped into his embrace. The others also appeared happy that he was safe.
Lucifer felt weird by their reaction. He had already heard them talking bad about him behind their back, so he wasn't sure if they were still faking it. He freed himself from Alicia's embrace.
Kellian asked him if he was alright, only for Lucifer to ignore him entirely. Instead, he walked to Ron, asking what happened to the Ship which was chasing after them.
Ron wasn't sure why he felt that something was wrong with Lucifer's equation with his friends. On one end, he didn't want to leave his friends to die to the point he risked his own life. On the other hand, he didn't even want to talk to them.
Although Lucifer said that he saved them because he just wanted a crew, but Ron understood that it wasn't the truth. If it was just about a crew, they could've kidnapped a few of other ships. It would've been much safer than freeing prisoners from Star Alliance prison.
Although he wanted to ask Lucifer what happened between them, but he controlled his curiosity.
"Since there was only one ship following us, it wasn't hard to take it down," Ron nonchalantly answered as if he hadn't just taken down a ship being controlled by an experienced captain.
Lucifer didn't know how to respond. He was just happy that they had safely gotten past.
"How far are we from earth?" he asked Ron. The most important thing for him was to save earth now. After that, everything else could be handled.
"It'll still take us seven hours even at the fastest..." Ron answered. There was nothing else he could do as the ship had limited speed. If it was the mother ship, it would've been faster if they were in a better ship, but nothing could be done about that.
"Two hours..." Lucifer went silent. At this point, every second was important since he wasn't certain what the Annihilation Squad was going to do to earth.
It was highly likely that they were going to first search for him there and if they didn't find him, they were going to destroy Earth as per their instructions. So it all depended on how long that search went on for.
Even during the search, he was worried that his family might be hurt. Although his father and mother weren't his real parents, but they were still the most important people in his life. He wasn't certain if something was going to happen to them.
The thought of losing his family filled him with a deep sense of dread, and he couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility for their safety.
....
For the next few hours, Lucifer could do nothing but wait for the moment while praying. He also started preparing for the coming battle.
Ron also did the same. With a little less than two hours left, he started preparation. He didn't even care that the entire Star Alliance was after Lucifer and now after him as well. Since he believed that Lucifer was a friend, he was standing by his side.
More importantly, he had a family of his own so he understood the value of the family. He didn't want Lucifer to lose his family.
Ron donned his Black Battle Armor made from Lightning Stones. It was a treasure of his clan that was used by his father in his early years. It was also what made his father stand out from the rest of his generation.
The Battle Armor worked to increase the strength of their clan members, along with making them able to use Lightning beyond their capabilities.
Although Ron rarely used weapons and focused more on his physical strength since he often wanted to challenge himself, but this time it was more than just about himself.
He brought out the sword specially crafted by his grandfather for him. It was a Sword that his grandfather especially told him to never use unless he had to, and Ron believed this was the time.
It was just the two of them against the entire Squad of the Star Alliance that specialized in Wars and battles. It was different from other Captains as this could be called the best of the best. Since their numbers were low, he didn't want to go easy this time.
Although he knew that it was a serious matter, Ron was also somewhat excited that he would get to challenge the top tier war squad of the Star Alliance.

Lucifer finished his preparation and left his room, only to come across Kellian who was waiting for him outside.
"Did we do something wrong to upset you?" Kellian asked. He had noticed that Lucifer felt distant as if he was upset at them.
They had gone through so much together so Kellian knew Lucifer. He could easily notice the change.
"Nothing wrong. You just did what you had to..." Lucifer spoke, not explaining. Leaving Kellian behind, he entered the Control Room. It was about time where they were to arrive outside Earth.
Kellian stood there, unable to shake off the feeling that he felt. He sighed as he also entered the control room. For now, it was time to focus on saving their world.
Lucifer's long white robe brushed against the floor as he walked closer to the control screen. At the same time, the ship came to a halt. They had reached their destination.
However, as Lucifer looked out the window, his expressions darkened.
