Inhuman Warlock

The Eagle flew towards Lucifer, roaring like a Lion. It was still some distance away from him, though.

Seeing the strange eagle on his path, Lucifer stopped flying and landed on the ground. The wind was making his hair wave as he watched the peculiar Eagle-like creature.

He couldn't help but wondered what it was. No matter how much he tried to think about it, he didn't remember hearing about an animal like this when he was young.

His lips parted as two words came out of his mouth after some thinking.

"Dungeon Dweller?"

He had managed to put the pieces together. If it wasn't an animal, it could only be a Dungeon Dweller that lurked inside the dungeons.

He was taught some things about them when he was in the facility. He had also seen the Dungeon Dwellers on television when he used to live with his family.

There was a time when he hated Dungeon Dwellers with passion. It was when he had first heard about his family's death and found out that they were killed by Dungeon Dwellers inside the Dungeon they went to explore.

He hated the Dungeon Dwellers with passion when he was in the facility. His dream was to be like his parents and destroy all Dungeon Dwellers.

When he lived in the facility, he would never have expected that he would hate someone as much as a Dungeon Dweller; unfortunately, it came true. He had started to hate humans just as much.

He watched the Chimera Eagle fly above his head and leave. The Chimera didn't even look at him for some reason.

Lucifer didn't bother to go after it either. He had decided to treat humans and Dungeon Dwellers the same. He wasn't going to go after them unless he felt like it. His current goal was to destroy the Facility, and that was what he wanted to place all his focus on.

His feet tapped on the ground as his body started rising in the air.

He started flying ahead. He had just started flying when he felt like he was in danger.

Abruptly turning back, he noticed that the strange Eagle was flying towards him now. Apparently, it had turned back in his direction.

The Chimera Eagle opened its mouth, and a beam of light came out of its mouth.

A stunned look appeared on Lucifer's face as he started to dodge, but the beam of light was too fast; he couldn't avoid it entirely. Even though he managed to save his chest that was being targeted, the beam of light managed to hit his elbow, cutting his left hand in half. The lower half of his left hand fell on the ground, separating from him.

"Not again!"

Lucifer thundered in frustration as he saw his hand lying on the ground. It was the second time in less than two days that he lost one of his hands. He couldn't understand. What enmity did everyone have with his hand?

Angered, instead of running away, he began flying towards the Chimera. A murderous look was visible in his eyes. He didn't even bother to wait for his hand to heal as the urge to destroy this thing took over him.

....

A Military Helicopter landed in an empty arena inside a beautiful city.

A few people stepped out of the helicopter, dressed in elegant clothes that seemed practical as well. There was a symbol on everyone's chest, making them seem like they were from the same organization.

A blue-haired man in civilian clothes walked to the group of people to welcome them.

"Welcome, Master Xander," the blue-haired man greeted the leader of Delta Squad, Xander.

Xander nodded with a subtle smile on his face.

"Hmm. Is everyone ready, Blake?" he inquired.

"Everything is prepared. Our Delta Squad Members have taken their position. It's impossible for anyone to realize that this city is void of people and that it's filled by undercover Delta Squad Members," Blake answered.

Xander looked around the arena and saw what seemed like a few adults jogging, seemingly like ordinary people, but he knew that they were all his men.

"Good. If we're not wrong, Lucifer should be here very soon. We must catch him and put an end to this ticking time bomb," Xander muttered as he turned back.

"Get the helicopter covered. I'll go around the city and see the preparation for myself," he said, walking away.

Blake started following him.

"You stay here—no need to escort us, Blake. Just make sure that our trail is covered. Flourence and I will go ourselves," said Xander without looking back. He left the arena with his second in command, Flourence.

....

Xander and Flourence left the arena and went to see the preparation that their squad had finished in the city.

They wanted to know if everything was perfect or not. It was a crucial mission. They needed to lure Lucifer inside the city before they captured him. In Xander's eyes, Lucifer was a tricky enemy. He didn't know much about Lucifer's abilities, but the ones he knew about were enough to intimidate anyone.

Lucifer had the Super Strength of his Father— the strongest Warlock Zale Azarel. He had the lightning of his father too. It was evident after seeing the bodies of his fellow teammates who had gone to catch Lucifer at his home.

To match the speed of their Warrior, who could use the Physical ability of Speed, he was sure that Lucifer probably had the powers of wind like his mother as well. Assuming that Lucifer got the S-Rank Decay abilities of his mother, then it made Lucifer a frightening entity despite his young age and lack of experience. He was at least a Quad-Awakened Warlock.

Someone like that could easily take many people out. Xander didn't want to face Lucifer head-on if he could avoid it. That's why he had placed this elaborate trap for Lucifer. It was hard, but he managed to get the permission to take over the entire city in wait for this potential enemy.

....

While Xander was checking the preparations in Erygas, Lucifer was facing the Chimera Eagle near the neighboring City, all alone.
