Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 153 - 153: Ending Xander



"I think Vega stole Xander's sense of sight momentarily, but Xander is strong. The effect shouldn't last for more than a minute, I think," he further added. 

As Xander went blind, he couldn't see Lucifer, but he still remembered Lucifer's trajectory when he was approaching him. 

He believed Lucifer was so blind in anger that he was going to come straight. In his mind, he made a few calculations and reached out his hand in the direction he decided. 

Surprisingly, his aim happened to be right as Lucifer was actually there. His hand landed on Lucifer's chest, but Lucifer also caught his hand at the same with his boney hands. 

Now there was no way for anyone to dodge any attack, but Lucifer didn't fire the lightning bolt. Instead, he used his Decay. He was starting to feel tired. He wanted to use his decay to give him strength and make him able to go on for longer. 

As Lucifer started using his Decay, Xander also used all his strength to create his fire that moved straight through Lucifer's chest, burning him even faster. Even Lucifer's bone had started being destroyed at the moment.

At the same time, Lucifer's Decay also activated, which sent an extreme pain inside Xander, which made him groan in pain as he felt like his body was being destroyed. He tried to move back and free his hand, but Lucifer's strong grip was keeping him in place. 

Xander's body slowly started turning old while his life energy entered Lucifer. 

Absorbing the life energy of a strong warlock like Xander worked miracles as Lucifer was seemingly able to keep up with the damage now. 

He could feel his Healing working like it never did, for the first time, overwhelming the flames. 

The damage of the flames was finally being matched by his healing as his bones recovered at the same speed as they were destroyed. 

Unfortunately, Xander didn't have healing, and he seemed to be struggling as his breathing had slowed down. 

With his body getting weak, his flames had also become weaker as he wasn't able to use his full potential. His young-looking face was already covered in wrinkles.

As the flames weakened, Lucifer's healing started looking even superior as the damage was less than the healing now. Not only had his bones recovered, but his muscles had also started healing now as he was looking less like a skeleton. 

...

Ayn found Xander in danger as he was caught by Lucifer, but the situation only worsened as Xander was growing weaker.

She could see that Xander was being overwhelmed by Lucifer. She was surprised at Lucifer's skills to overwhelm Xander, but she also knew that she needed to interfere. If she didn't interfere, Xander was going to die!

She packed her fist once again as she punched the ground. The ground once again started shaking. 

Within a second of her punch, a few Giant Ice Swords came out from under Lucifer, who was just a few meters above the ground. They came from different points, making sure that Lucifer couldn't dodge in the direction of Xander.

The only path left for him was to dodge back while freeing Xander if he wanted to survive. 

Lucifer, fortunately, saw the swords and realized that if he was hit, he might be cut in half. He needed to dodge. 

Without thinking twice, he used his Wind Control to fly back as he dodged the sword that had almost reached him. He also had to free Xander, or both his hands would have been sliced. 

The giant swords kept coming out of the ground. Unfortunately, even after he dodged, the ankle of his right leg was cut. 

Lucifer also didn't leave this opportunity as he knew that this was done to save Xander. He wasn't going to let it happen after all this. 

He raised his right hand even though he was flying almost horizontally with his stomach facing the sky. 

He used his brain as he looked towards the sword, and after making a prediction, he fired a lightning bolt, having the maximum strength he could conjure. 

The sky roared crazily once again as the pitch-black thunderbolt reached the Crystal Sword, shattering the strongest ice to pieces before the thunderbolt continued on its path. 

"Noo!"

Ayn yelled as she saw her Ice Sword shatter but not because Lucifer had broken her Ice Sword. She yelled because she could see the trajectory of the thunderbolt. It was flying straight towards Xander. 

Xander was still unable to see, but he was free now. He was just about to use his flames to fly. Even though the flames and he was considerably weaker, he knew he had to do it, or he was going to crash on the ground. 

Unfortunately, before he could even do anything, the sound of crystal shattering fell in his ears soon before a thunderbolt penetrated his chest. 

Lucifer was also without his right foot that was cut from the ankle as he landed on the ground. 

Vega appeared near Lucifer as he said, "We should leave. You're hurt as well. This isn't the time to fight to the death."

Lucifer looked at Vega before he nodded his head.

"Henrik! Make the tunnel!" Caen commanded.

Henrik listened to him and created a tunnel inside which Lucifer entered. Since Lucifer didn't have his right foot, he was using his Wind to be able to move without falling. 

The battle had come to a sudden halt as Ayn started running towards Xander, who was lying unmoving. 

Blood was coming out of his lips as his black eyes finally returned to normal. The effect of Vega's powers was over. It seemed a bit too late, though. 

The Variant Uprising members also started leaving in the opposite direction. Even Dion didn't attack Ayn, whose back was facing him as he turned back and started leaving. 

Even though he had an advantage, he knew that short advantage needed to be left to have a bigger advantage in the future. He needed to stick with the plan. 

The APF members also stopped the battle. It seemed like an unofficial ceasefire had taken shape with Xander getting hurt and Vega and Lucifer leaving. 

Ayn had also separated herself from the battle in worries over Xander's safety.
