Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 831: Gift

Lucifer had just started eating. He only took a few bites when he started feeling a tingling sensation in his body. He could also feel some pain. It all started after he ate. It wasn't hard for him to guess that it was because of something that was in the food, most probably the poison.

He glanced at the woman, frowning. Even she was trying to kill him? Fortunately, he had his healing which soon kicked off.

She didn't know about Lucifer's immunity from poison, it seemed. Lucifer played along, acting as if the poison was overwhelming him.

As soon as he asked the woman about the poison, she appeared to be scared. Her expressions gave it away. It was her doing.

"Why?" Lucifer asked. Pushing the chair back, he stood up.

However, as soon as he took a few steps toward her, he dropped to his knees as if his legs had turned weak.

"It's working! Good!" The woman exclaimed. "Now you just die!"

Her words were sharp, but her expressions weren't that of a scheming person. Instead, she had tears in her eyes as if she wasn't happy at killing a person, and she didn't do it for any greed. It was as if she herself was in pain.

"Why?" Lucifer repeated the question again weakly.

"For what you did to my daughter and my son! You think I don't know you killed my son?! It became evident when I saw you on the screen! You killed my son! On the other hand, I kept waiting for my son, thinking he would return someday!"

"Just because you had the strength, you think you can take lives as you wish? Even though I have no right to take someone's life, taking your life would take millions of lives like that of my daughter and my son from all the wars and bloodshed! I'm willing to commit this sin!"

Even though she talked tall, her tears were only increasing. Her face was also pale by now.

"What did I do to your daughter? I don't remember anything..." Lucifer responded as his eyes kept getting close. He dropped to the ground but was still breathing from what could be seen.

"My daughter, she wasn't killed in an accident! She was murdered! She was murdered by your people, including you!"

"What?"

"Like every other day, she was working in the Hunter Association headquarters as an assistant when you decided to attack the capital. You people targeted the Hunter Association headquarters at the start."

" The Hunters who were strong managed to escape, but my daughter and many others were left behind, dying under the rubble! And even after all that, you justified your attack with excuses?"

"You think the world is an idiot? You took both my kids from me; even after we'd been so nice to you in the past, you returned our kindness with cruelty!"

"And even after doing all this, you come here, hoping that I'll feed you?! It must be God's doing! He wanted me to kill you!"

"So that's what it is," Lucifer let out, standing up. He finally dropped the act of being weak. "I don't know what happened in the future because that's not me. That's someone I don't even remember or understand. I don't know why my future self took the decisions that he took, but I can't change the future."

"You're fine?" The woman was scared to see Lucifer up, perfectly fine.

She started running towards the door.

Despite that, she couldn't run faster than Lucifer. Lucifer appeared at the entrance of the door, blocking the path.

"I'm not going to hurt you, don't worry," Lucifer exclaimed, shaking his head. "However, I don't want you to run without hearing me completely."

"I told you I don't know why I did what I did, but I know I was wrong. Even if I don't recall that moment, I did it, so I need to take the responsibility. But I can't let myself be killed either for what I did. Not like it's possible either. However, what I can do is apologize to you!"

"I want to apologize to you for everything I did! I want to apologize for causing the deaths of your kids. It wasn't my intention. If I had known your daughter was there, I would've protected her first. She is more special to me than you think she is. However, I won't ask you for forgiveness for what happened. I'll leave that decision to you."

After finishing, Lucifer stepped aside, freeing the doorway. "I said what I wanted to say. You can leave if you want to."

Lucifer walked back to the dining table, leaving the lady behind. He started eating the poisoned food again.

Watching him still eat the same, the woman couldn't get herself to leave. Moreover, Lucifer had promised he wasn't going to kill her.

"Why are you eating it even after knowing there's poison in it?" She asked Lucifer.

"Because food is food. And you prepared it for me. I can't let it go to waste," Lucifer replied. "Also, this poison doesn't affect me. And I'm really hungry."

Even Lucifer knew that he was being a little shameless here, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't bring her daughter back to life. He couldn't punish himself for killing her. If it was someone else, he couldn't have done something but not when he himself was the culprit.

Throughout the time Lucifer was there, the woman couldn't get herself to say anything. She was just too shocked to say anything.

After finishing, Lucifer stood up. "Thank you for the food."

He was also bad at consoling people, so he didn't know what to say to the woman to comfort her when he was the culprit. He just decided that silence was better than anything at this point.

He left the house and left. He had only taken a few steps away from the home when he sensed something. It was some kind of strange smell that was coming. The sky had also started getting dark.

"It looks like you didn't take our last conversation seriously. I was waiting for you, but you are roaming around carelessly." A hoarse voice came from the back, prompting Lucifer to turn back.

A dark figure was standing behind him.

"Looks like we need to get more serious to convince you. I noticed that you had some kind of relationship with the woman inside? I left a little surprise inside for you. If, after all this, you feel like finally meeting me again, come to the Dungeon where your parents disappeared. Enjoy the gift."
