Inhuman Warlock Chapter 34
Advertisement
The flames kept scorching Lucifer's skin which kept healing just as quickly now that the flames were less fierce.
"Tell me the name of the facility I was kept in for years," Lucifer commanded Zach as he opened his mouth that looked bizarre as its tissues were burning and healing simultaneously.
"What the heck are you talking about! I don't know where it is. All I got is the information to catch you," Zach answered back. "My seniors will know more about it, though. If you surrender, I'll help you find all the information you need."
He continued stepping back as the surrounding temperature kept rising due to his flames while continuing to try to maintain his distance.
Lucifer stepped towards Zach, letting himself get injured to help his healing when he noticed Enforcer bringing his phone out.
As he saw Enforcer taking out the phone, he slowly raised his right hand and pointed towards Enforcer.
Zach wondered why Lucifer was pointing towards Enforcer when his face suddenly turned pale.
He noticed a pitch-black bolt of lightning leaving Lucifer's fingers and moving towards Enforcer.
The black bolt drilled Enforcer's head, killing him instantly. He dropped to the ground, lifelessly. The phone in his hand also fell simultaneously.
"Enforcer!" All three of the men bellowed as they watched him die with an impossible look on their faces.
"He's a Quad- Awakened! Impossible! How?" Zach finally lost all his composure.
He had thought that as long as they remained away from Lucifer, they were safe, but he also had an ability like that? Moreover, someone with four abilities, that was unheard of.
"We can't take him on. I'll keep him busy; you take Perfecto and escape!" Zach told Zoom who was closest to him.
Perfecto was a bit injured, but Zoom was someone who could carry him. They needed to get out of this place. The information they had received was wrong.

Zach had decided to sacrifice himself to let the other two escape.
"I'm not leaving! I will never leave you behind. If we're going to be killed, we'll die together!" Perfecto insisted, not agreeing to the suggestion.
"You idiot, leave! Someone needs to stay alive to inform the others about what happened here!" Zach said to Perfecto. "It's clear that we didn't have accurate information about him. We need to make sure everyone knows!"
The wind was flowing at its peak, making everyone's clothes flutter with the wind. Sparks of flames also flew around, seemingly useless.
Zoom's eyes got slightly wet as he thought about Zach sacrificing himself for them.
"Don't worry, I'll take him!" Zoom declared as he ran towards Perfecto.
Unfortunately, Lucifer had also heard their plan. He once again raised his right hand, shooting out another lightning bolt.
"Watch out!" Zach bellowed at the top of his lungs.
The lightning bolt once again struck, taking another life. There was a reason Black Lightning was known as one of the strongest abilities.
Zoom had been running when the bolt struck him. Even after he fell down, his body kept sliding due to the forward momentum.
Lucifer didn't stop with that; instead, he started running towards Perfecto, finally coming out of the storm of flames.
Moving with the winds, he appeared before Perfecto, who was finding it difficult even to stand.
Perfecto had already known that he couldn't live anymore as he saw a hand coming towards his face.
Within the blink of an eye, he found himself lying on the concrete road with a cold hand covering his face. His body started decaying, and within seconds, he turned to dust.
Zach couldn't move. He was frozen in place. It took him quite some time to come to terms with what had happened.

"You bastard! I'll send you to hell!" Zach roared as if he had almost gone mad. "I don't care if I live anymore!"
Flames around him appeared, much more intense than anything before.
His muscles started bulging as his body increased in size.
"I will die after using this, but at least I can take a monster with me," Zach muttered as he closed his eyes.
"Overdrive!"
A weak voice left his lips.
He opened his eyes which were blazing red now. His body also turned reddish, making him less like a human and more like something else.
"Die for me!" He laughed like mad as he raised his right hand towards Lucifer.
A wave of flames came out of his hands, shooting towards Lucifer.
His flames were as red as the flames of hell now and much more potent than before. His body clearly couldn't handle this kind of power, and it started breaking apart, but Zach didn't care.
"Overdrive?" Lucifer was confused.
What was Overdrive? Even though he didn't understand what it was, he could clearly see that it made Zach stronger.
"Die!"
The hell flame moved towards Lucifer and burned him apart; his body burned so fast that for a moment, some of his skull became exposed.
Even though his Healing tried to help him, the situation seemed worse as the destruction was much faster than the healing this time.
Fortunately, the flames didn't last for long.
Lucifer had suffered heavy burns when the fire stopped as Zach fell to the ground.
His body remained on the ground, lifeless.
He had died. The last thing he saw before dying was a terribly burnt person whose body healed right before his eyes, slowly.
'Monster' was the last word that escaped his mouth before his breath stopped.
It took Lucifer a few minutes before he healed.
A sigh escaped his lips as he watched the dead body of Zach.
"I thought I could keep him alive for information, but I guess I'll have to wait for longer," he muttered in disappointment.
The only reason he hadn't attacked Zach, in the end, was to get information about the facility from him. But he was also gone.
Lucifer looked towards the house and started walking towards it to get some clothes while also noticing a pair of black gloves lying in the distance.
As his clothes were burned, the gloves had fallen down while also surviving the flames because of being made of fireproof material.
He picked up the gloves and wore them as he walked towards the house.
Ring! Ring!
As he walked towards the house, he heard the sound that felt like a phone ringing.
He turned back to realize that the sound was coming from Zach's body. He started striding over to Zach's body.
He brought out the phone.

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)

A New Kind of Freak (A dragon evolution story)
For dragons, those who dominate the food chain, growth is always a troublesome time. Left to fend for oneself with only a library of memories passed down as their inheritance, no fate is worse than being a failure before birth. What can a small mutated hatchling do in such snowy outskirts? With few options besides magic, the Nexus provides a quick source of power, but that does not mean his enemies were without strength. Levels and stats are available to all in this dragon eat dragon wor- "So... am I really made of Ice-cream?" * * * This is a Progression fantasy where the main concept is about the growing protagonist actually focusing on their own growth without passing through constant hoops for the sake of it. He stays out of trouble, albeit not always successfully, and only cares about evolving enough that he can hold his own weight in the world. Showing that being made of ice-cream isn't a weakness, but a strength when nurtered properly. Also it doesn't end in a protagonist who becomes/kills god, because that just doesn't fit the theme.
