Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 1042 1042

"I was right. You can actually see me!" the young man exclaimed, absolutely convinced that he was right all along. Lucifer could truly see him.

"Grandpa said that it was impossible. So how did it do it?" he asked, his expressions revealing his slight fascination.

He removed the spatial shroud that had kept him invisible since he was certain that it was useless.

"Are you also part of some big clan? But I've studied about all other surviving major clans. I've never heard of someone looking like you. Who are you?"

His questions didn't stop at all. One after another, he kept asking without even waiting for the answer, akin to a child who found something that caught their attention.

"If you can see through our skill, that must mean you're also somewhat capable in this field. Even my Grandfather didn't believe it was possible. So you mustn't be half bad. Right?" the man asked as he followed Lucifer.

"Why is someone like you walking instead of directly flying to the city? Can't you fly? Do you need my help?" the man asked, even though Lucifer hadn't spoken a single word to him so far.

"Is it that you can't speak? That would explain why you're so silent. Although I don't understand sign language, but you can try. I'll try my best to understand." The young man stated, taking Lucifer's silence as his inability to speak.

"You must also be invited by the Star Alliance. Apparently many big clans were invited this time. Most of the clans rarely leave their world but apparently this meeting was very important because of that bastard."

Since Lucifer didn't speak, the young man talked himself, trying to engage Lucifer. He wanted to know more about Lucifer to understand what trick he used to see through his grandfather's skill. That was also a reason he was being so friendly to Lucifer.

He wanted to understand the flaws in their skill that allowed Lucifer to see through it. If it wasn't for the act that all the guests this time were from major clans, he could've even thought about forcing Lucifer to tell his secrets.

Because he didn't know Lucifer's identity, he used another method and tried to be friendly and get closer to him.

"Apparently that guy has become more dangerous. I think the Star Alliance is once again going to suggest working together. Initially, many clans were stubborn about working alone and not interacting much with the outside world. But things have started to change now," the young man stated.

"What do you think about it? Is your clan going to work with the Star Alliance?" he asked. "Honestly, I think this is all dumb. Why do we have to work with others to take care of one person? We easily killed the entire Ancient Clan when the clans worked together last time. Do we really need to work together to take care of one person?"

"The only reason that person has managed to survive and do as he pleased is because he only dealt with the pathetically weak Star Alliance and destroyed a few minor worlds. He didn't come across the Hidden Clans. If he had, this problem would've been solved already."

Hearing the man speak, Lucifer finally responded, "Are you certain you could've killed him if he came across your clan?"

"My clan? Heh, I don't think my clan would even need to get involved. I would've been enough to crush that bastard and hang his head like a trophy at the entrance of our clan, just like we kept the head of the Ancient Clan members that were killed during the war."

The young man talked with pride, along with clear arrogance as if he looked down on the entire world. This time, he didn't hold back in trying to show Lucifer just how special his clan was to make him realize that it was a good idea to become friends with him.

As Lucifer heard the man's words, he abruptly stopped, his legs refusing to move.

"You hang their heads at the entrance of your clan?" Lucifer asked.

"Hahaha, that's right. If you ever come visit our clan, you'll be able to see clearly. We even have something even more special that even my Grandfather treats like a cherished trophy which is evidence of our Ancestor's contribution during the war."

"It's the head of the person who used to be the leader of the Ancient Clan during the war. Unfortunately, my grandfather doesn't allow it to be hanged outside. But I can take you to my clan and show you if you become my friend."

The young man stepped before Lucifer, reaching out his hand, offering his friendship to Lucifer.

Inside the Palace at the center of the Star Alliance, representatives of all the Major Clans had arrived.

Most of those representatives were made of the leaders of the Hidden Clans who treated this meeting as a get-together and an opportunity to assess the strength of the other Major Clans that they hadn't seen ever since the great war against the Ancient Clan.

Once all the invited clans had arrived, the barrier around the world was completely closed, no gap left within the barrier.

The Main Hall of the Palace buzzed with activity as nearly every clan leader gathered inside. They held elegant crystal glasses filled with a special wine derived from thousand year old vines of the Treants. Renowned for their mystical properties, these ancient vines produced a beverage as enchanting as it was rare.

In the hall, almost every Clan Leader was observing the others, trying to observe the strength of other clans. Almost most clans acted politely with each other, but none trusted the other.

Once everyone was gathered, it was time for the meeting to start.

The new Star Alliance Leader stepped forward, his head held high with pride. It was time for him to tell everyone that the Star Alliance had killed Lucifer. It was time to make everyone realize how powerful they were!
