Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 765

Chapter 765


"Dallas, why are you late for such an important meeting?"


"I"m sorry. I was just informed about the meeting. I came just as fast as I could." Dallas apologized. "When did you return though?"


"That"s not Lucifer. It"s Caen. Don"t mind him. Take a seat." Kellian chimed in, inviting Dallas inside.


"Caen, you will never stop playing around, will you? I liked you better in the past when you were more serious." Dallas sat beside Kellian. 


"So, what"s the meeting about? Any update?"


"Yeah. There are a couple of updates. The first is that Milena will be here tonight. So we just need to hold on to the fortress for a few more hours."


Jiani seemed pleased to know that Milena was going to be here soon. The others didn"t feel much different about it. 


"And others update?" Dallas asked. "About Lucifer?"


"There is one about him too. He said he had conquered the island as well. Soon he"ll leave the island and be back here. Then we can think about what to do next?"


"How soon is his soon?" Tristan asked. 


"He said a couple of days. But there"s also some bad news."


"Bad news?"


"Yeah. Yaliza and Salazar are caught by Dungeon Dwellers. After Lucifer returns, we might be needing to go there to save them."


"They couldn"t even survive a level four Dungeon? I didn"t know they were that weak," Tristan exclaimed, rolling his eyes. "I should"ve been sent to clear the Dungeon."


"It"s not a Level Four Dungeon where they"re trapped," Kellian responded. 


"Then what? If I"m not wrong, they went to explore a level four Dungeon? Where else would they be trapped?" Dallas asked. 


"That we don"t know. But from what we know, it"s at least a Level Six Dungeon."


"What?" Dallas stood up, shocked. 


Tristan"s expressions weren"t much different. It was the same case for everyone except the n.o.bles. They didn"t have Dungeons in the continent of Darkness, so the criteria didn"t hold much value for them. 


Still, seeing the expressions of others, they could gather that it was a big deal. 


"Level Five has been cla.s.sified as a Disaster Level Dungeon where each beast holds enough strength to flatten a country. A level Six Dungeon has been unheard about. Just what kind of beasts would it have? Are you sure they"re in a Level Six Dungeon? How did they get there?"


"And even if they"re trapped in a Level Six Dungeon, how do you know about it? I don"t think it"s possible to contact someone inside the Dungeon. So how do you have this information?"


"I don"t have this information. Lucifer had this information."


"And how did he get it?"


"A Dungeon Dweller told him..."


"What? Why would a Dungeon Dweller tell him that? And how can we know that he wasn"t lying?"


"Because it wasn"t a Dungeon Dweller that was weak. It was something that we hadn"t seen before. A human shaped Dungeon Dweller. So far, we"ve only seen different. Moreover, he was also very strong. He hypnotized the entire city at once to attack Lucifer."


"I think it would be fair to believe his words."


"Even if what he said is true, why would a Dungeon Dweller tell this to Lucifer?" Arthur chimed in. "I think it"s a trap. If Salazar and Yaliza are there, they must already be dead."


"Their names are being used to call Lucifer into this trap. We shouldn"t let him go inside."


"Even Lucifer has considered this possibility of this being a trap, but you know how he is. He wouldn"t think twice, even if it"s a trap. He is determined to go inside even if it"s a trap."


"We"ll discuss more about it when he returns. For now, just know that we might need to enter a Dungeon in the future."


"I can"t help but feel like you"re all being really hasty. You"re spreading your forces too thin, even though you don"t have the liberty to afford such dilution." Even Jiani gave some input of hers.


"For example, even when you haven"t taken care of the Warlock Council remnants, you sent everyone else on different missions, leaving the city defenseless. And now we"re in this mess where we could be attacked at any time, and we"re waiting for everyone to return."


"If that wasn"t enough, you all challenged the entire world, and without taking care of that mess, you"re thinking about exploring a never before seen Dungeon?"


"I just can"t understand you all. It"s like you want to make things hard for you."


Even Kellian agreed with her. He had the same thoughts, but he didn"t question Lucifer. Lucifer was the reason that they managed to reach so far. 


Even though Lucifer took some decisions along the way that put them in danger, they were ultimately successful. 


When the Uprising was thinking that it was dangerous for them to attack the APF headquarters right after a war that left most of them injured, Lucifer took the decision to do it, and they succeeded without many casualties.


When they were thinking that attacking the Divine Empire while challenging the Warlock Council was foolish, he did it and succeeded. 


Even they thought attacking the Warlock Council with their small forces was going to be hard, he made them do it, and they succeeded. 


So far, Lucifer certainly took some strange decisions, but all of his decisions were successful. He didn"t know if it was luck or a really distant planning, but he knew that whatever it was, they needed it. 


Lucifer had earned his trust with his decisions, and Kellian wanted to support his decisions keeping the past record in mind. 


"I know this is hard to understand, but I"ll still side with him." Kellian agreed. "We can certainly discuss this when he returns, but if he says we need to do it, we would."


"Man, you"re like a teacher"s pet at this point. No matter what the teacher says, you"ll believe it blindly."


"You"ll send your people to the Dungeon, then who will defend this place if the combined forces of this world tries to attack you, agitated from your threats? I thought you were smarter than this."


"I said what I wanted to say. The meeting is over," Kellian stood up. "Get back to your posts. I"ll tell you if I get any more information."


He left the room. Even though he left, he could still hear Jiani calling him teacher"s pet. 


"Jiani, I think you went overboard. Sometimes it"s hard to understand plans. There are many things involved.. But what we can know is that Lucifer is a capable commander."
