Inhuman Warlock Chapter 57

"When they are powerful, they toy with life, and when they are weak, they beg for life. This is what this world has become," Lucifer said as he started towards Fray. "I will cleanse this place today."
His short-tempered and slightly broken heart was stopping him from seeing the reality. What happened to him at the lab and the restaurant had made him short-sighted.
He thought everyone who tried to stop him was terrible. He couldn't see that Fray had actually done nothing to harm him. Instead, Fray was only trying to stop him to save his people.
Fray cast another barrier using his ability to entrap Lucifer. Lucifer was once again trapped, but Fray didn't stop there. He cast another plasma barrier on top of the one that was already there. After that, he cast another plasma barrier.
One after another, he kept casting the barriers until Lucifer was inside ten plasma barriers.
Even though Fray had cast ten plasma barriers, he was having a hard time maintaining them. He had overdrawn his powers which had a heavy toll on his body.
"Go fast and call the others here! I can't hold him in for long," he again reminded the employees of the shop as he saw them standing there, but they didn't move.
They started pointing towards the barrier with a blank look on their faces.
Fray looked at the barrier and noticed that the green barrier was turning black and rotten.
"Run, you idiot!" Fray scolded the men, who finally listened and started running towards the door.
The employees of the shop ran out in droves, leaving the shop. Most started running towards the police station, while some ran towards the Red Eagles Guild.
Inside the barrier, Lucifer wasn't doing anything. He was just touching the barrier with his fingers and letting his S-Rank Decay do the rest. The Plasma barrier was getting disintegrated from the inside out, and soon, the tenth barrier was destroyed as well.

That was when Fray dropped to the ground after coughing out a mouthful of blood. He had received another backlash after someone broke his barrier that he had worked so hard to make. His eyes closed as he remained unmoving as if he was dead.
Lucifer walked up to Fray, who was lying on the ground after getting free, but he could only watch Fray unmoving, in curiosity.
He was dead? How? Was it how that old guy had died after using his power when he shouted overdrive last time? He couldn't help but assume as he saw Fray.
Shaking his head, he turned back and wore his gloves again as he started looking around the shop to choose the clothes for himself.
After a short time, he had selected the clothes that he liked.
He had selected black jeans, a green t-shirt, and a red jacket over it all. He had also selected shoes now. All of these clothes were his size, so he didn't look odd now.
After getting dressed, he left.
...
Lucifer stepped out of the showroom and started walking away.
He had only walked a few meters away from the showroom when a woman walked past him towards the showroom.
She walked closer to the showroom. As she was focusing on her phone, she wasn't paying attention.
She reached near the door which opened, allowing her to enter, but she felt something weird. It was as if her shoes were on water or something. She could feel the splashing.
She took her eyes off her phone and looked down, only to see a red liquid below her feet that looked like blood.
Her face turned pale as she started looking around. She saw bodies, unmoving.
A scream escaped her mouth.
She was about to call the cops with her shaking hands, but she heard sirens outside.

The cops were already informed by the staff that had run away, so they were already here.
The cops had just arrived.
A group of six cop cars stopped before the showroom, and around Twenty cops stepped out of the car with their weapons.
They entered the place and pointed their guns towards the woman.
"Hands in the air!" They told the woman as they saw her standing with her back towards them.
The woman raised her hands as she turned back.
The cops saw that her face was covered in tears.
"T-thank god, you're here, officer. I was just about to call you guys. Look at it! There is a killer in our city!" the woman let out.
The one leading the team of the cops was Sergeant Trafford, who couldn't help but frown as he heard her words.
"Ahmm... sir, they said that a kid was killing people. She might be another witness," another cop said.
Sergeant Trafford looked at the woman without lowering his gun.
"Did you see the killer?" he asked.
"N-no. I came just a few seconds before your arrival. This place was already like this. I haven't even touched anything other than the door yet," The woman replied.
"Alright. We'll need to take you to the station for your statement. Carl, Take her in and get her in the car."
The Sergeant looked towards another cop and instructed him.
The woman was handcuffed and taken into the police car.
The other cops looked at the scene and sighed.
"The people claimed that Master Fray was keeping the person trapped. I also informed the Red Eagles because of that," Sergeant Trafford muttered as he looked at the faces of all the Bodies in the showroom.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a man, lying in the ground, face down. The man had red hair, which reminded him of Fray.
Before he could step forward, he heard a sound from their back. The glass doors of the showroom were opened.
He glanced back and saw five people entering the showroom. All five were wearing the same color of jacket that had a Red Eagles Insignia on it.

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
