Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 1025 1025

....

Stalnia, an aquatic realm enveloped entirely by vast expanses of water, revealed no vestige of land from its surface. Despite being completely covered in water, Stalnia pulsated with vibrant life, manifesting both above and beneath the water

Below the shimmering depths, an entire civilization thrived, sculpting an extraordinary subaqueous society.

Meanwhile, above the water, multiple sea ships could often be seen, bearing traders hailing from distant galaxies, converging upon Stalnia for interstellar commerce with its native inhabitants, the Aquarians.

For the most part, serenity prevailed in this aqueous realm, a testament to the harmonious coexistence of its denizens. Nevertheless, an air of change pervaded in recent times, prompting a discernible surge in security measures surrounding Stalnia.

Many formidable ships from the Star Alliance could also be seen circling Stalnia.

In recent times, many Worlds were being destroyed by an unknown force, and most of them were the ones that were involved in the destruction of the Ancient Clan. Although there was no evidence, most were certain about the identity of the person behind it.

The Aquarians were also the ones who took part in the destruction of the Ancient Civilization, which made them concerned about their future in these troubling times.

No one was certain who was going to be targeted next. There was an atmosphere of fear all around the galaxy, but since Stalnia was closest to the world that was last destroyed, the Star Alliance was paying close attention to Stalnia.

Not just the Star Alliance, but many hidden clans had also come out of seclusion and were paying attention to the aquatic world.

While everyone was prepared for an attack that could come at any time, no one knew that the person responsible for all this chaos had already entered Stalnia.

A lonely figure could be seen walking on the surface of the water, his steps leaving ripples behind. There was an endless expanse of water before the man, but the man didn't stop.

His eyes were void of emotions, yet his beautiful pupils still made him appear charming. Even his clothes appeared old and tattered, clinging onto him as if they were remnants of a forgotten era.

It was unclear how long he walked, yet for the first time, he saw a boat in the vast sea. The boat was coming from a distance, carrying a few merchants from another galaxy.

The ship also noticed Lucifer walking on the water. At first, they thought it was an Aquarian as only those people could walk on the water so effortlessly, but they soon erased that thought as Lucifer's physical features didn't match.

"Who might he be?"

"Could he be another merchant whose boat was destroyed?"

Amongst the merchants on the boat, a discussion regarding Lucifer had begun.

"Why would he be alone in that case? Something doesn't add up. He isn't even coming towards us to ask for help."

Although no one was certain who Lucifer was or why he was alone, but all of them were curious about his identity. Unfortunately, they were also cautious about that person.

"Should we approach him and try to ask if he needs help?"

"Are you crazy? What if he's dangerous? We are carrying important items for the Royal Family," the Merchant Clan Head explained. "If we are robbed here, it would be really embarrassing. Just let him be. As long as he doesn't bother us, we won't bother him."

"But what if he bothers us?" One of the guards asked with slight hesitation.

The Merchant Clan Head frowned, his expression turning cold. "Then kill him. He can only blame his luck for approaching us at such a sensitive time."

The Guards affirmed, agreeing to the other. Although they weren't sure who that person was, they couldn't take risks either. Not everyone had good intentions towards them.

Lucifer glanced at the large boat, but he didn't show any reaction. He simply kept walking. He was a calamity and with his arrival, it was only a matter of time before this world was destroyed.

Until then, he just wanted to see this world and understand its essence. It was a burden he had to carry after its destruction.

"Is he not approaching?" The Merchant Head asked after a few minutes.

"He... He..." The guard started stuttering in response.

He had constantly been keeping an eye on Lucifer, yet his face had suddenly gone pale as he finished his sentence. "He isn't there!"

"What do you mean he isn't there? Did you lose him?" The Merchant Head roared, almost feeling like slapping the guard to his death. He couldn't even keep an eye on a person?

"H-he just disappeared!" The Guard answered, still in disbelief. "One moment the man was there, and the next moment, he simply disappeared..."

This time the Merchant Head couldn't control his anger. He kicked the Guard in the stomach, sending him flying. "And that's why I tell you to stop drinking when you're at work!"

He picked up the spyglass himself before gazing in the distance where the man was supposed to be. Unfortunately, even as he looked all around, he failed to find that person.

"How is this possible?" He muttered, thinking of a few possibilities. He looked back at the guard.

"Did he enter the water?"

The Guard stood up, holding his aching stomach. He was worried that he would be hit again if he answered honestly, but he couldn't lie to the man.

"He didn't enter the water. He actually disappeared, Master! I'm not lying! I didn't take my eyes off of him for even a second! He actually disappeared!"

"Disappear?" This time, the Merchant Head couldn't find any way to deny it. It was true that the man wasn't there. Moreover, he also checked that the Guard wasn't drunk.

"But that's something that only high-ranking clans can..." he didn't know what to think about it. There were a few methods of teleportation.

The Star Alliance could use their ships to teleport a person to them, but that process left behind certain clues and was easy to distinguish.
