Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 360 - 360: Strange Beast



Lucifer stared at the massive black door, which was previously guarded by the Two-Headed Wolf. Unable to wait any longer to quench his curiosity, he decided to check inside. 

He opened the door by pushing them before he stepped inside.

As Lucifer stepped inside, he was able to find a massive room which seemed to be at least a hundred meters long and hundred meters wide, 

He looked around the room, observing it carefully, only to notice that there were a lot of things inside.

On both sides of the rooms, there were massive statues of various beasts. All the beasts in the statues looked intimidating and powerful, making him wonder if these were the statues of the beasts that resided inside this dungeon. 

Despite looking around, he wasn't able to find the statue of the Two-Headed Wolf that he had just faced, which made him doubt his assumption. He knew that the wolf should have been here if that was the case.

  Creak! 

As he stepped forward, he heard a creaking sound behind him. 

Turning around, he noticed that the massive black door had suddenly closed. 

"An automatic door?" he wondered, glancing at the door. "I'll think about that later. First, I need to check this place."

He stepped close to one of the statues to observe it carefully.

He even touched the statue to feel its texture. The statues seemed to be carved from stone which didn't look anything different from ordinary stones at all.

After observing the first statue and not finding anything special, he shifted his attention to a different statue. All of the statues at the start seemed to be the same. There was nothing special about any of them. 

The only question about these in Lucifer's mind was about the origin of these statues. Who made them? He didn't believe these monsters made them for themselves. 

Stepping forward, he kept glancing at all the statues and stopped observing them from close. A few times already gave him a general idea. 

After looking at hundreds of statues, some big and some smaller, Lucifer reached the end of the hall where he was able to see only one statue, which was placed in the center, having an overview of the whole room. 

The last statue was the smallest, but it also looked the strangest. Despite being the smallest statue here, it was still taller than Lucifer, twice his size. 

Other than these statues, there was nothing in this room. There was no treasure either. 

He couldn't help but wonder if this was some kind of temple for the beasts instead. 

He observed the last statue, which was placed in the center. "Something is different about this one."

The statue seemed to depict a creature that had the body of a cat and the head of a Dragon. There were also two ox-like horns on its head and a mane that reminded him of a lion's mane. 

But that wasn't surprising to him. What was surprising was the fact that only this Statue seemed to be made of a different material.

The stone it was made from was different from others. It was a black stone, unlike the white ones of other statues. 

Reaching out his hand, Lucifer tried to touch the statue to feel its texture. Strangely enough, before he could touch the statue, he stopped.

He felt like the statue moved a little from the last time he had seen it. Its hand was in a different position. He wondered if it was his misconception. 

Unfortunately, he soon realized that this wasn't a misconception of his. He was able to see the eyes of the black stone beast open. The eyes looked at Lucifer. 

Before Lucifer could react, he saw a small speck of light coming out of the beast's eyes. 

Not willing to take the risk of being hit by it, he hastily moved to the side to dodge.

Even though he was fast, because of the close distance, he wasn't able to completely avoid the golden speck of light that had come out of the eyes of Black Statue. 

The speck of light hit Lucifer's left hand. 

Being hit by the speck of light, Lucifer felt a little heavy. He didn't stop moving as he glanced towards his hand to notice that his fist was turned to stone, including his left glove. 

As time passed, more and more of his arm kept turning to stone, and it only kept spreading upwards. 

Concerned about becoming stone if this kept spreading like this, Lucifer used his wind blades on himself to chop off his arms from the shoulders, making his left arm fall on the ground. 

Even though his arm dropped to the ground, the stoning didn't stop. Soon, his whole left arm was completely stone. As the arm was cut, Lucifer managed to protect himself. 

He was still shocked at what he saw. A beast that could turn others to stone? 

As he was confused, he saw the beast moving his head. Another speck of light shot towards Lucifer, who flew into the air to avoid that speck of light. 

This time, however, that speck of golden light couldn't hit him. Instead, it hit one of the statues behind him, having no effect. 

Lucifer flew towards the black stone beast as he fired a few lightning bolts to destroy it. 

The black stone statue didn't move even in the face of the attacks. Instead, it shot more specks of lights that clashed with the lightning bolts. 

Even the lightning bolts turned to stone before hitting the black lightning beasts. The stone bolts hit the black beast, only to turn to pieces themselves. 

The beast was still completely fine. 

"It can even turn my attacks to stones?" Lucifer exclaimed, stunned. 

He was able to see another speck of light being fired at him. Quickly thinking of a plan, Lucifer hid behind a nearby statue. 

As the statues were protected from these attacks, he decided to use them as a shield.

The specks of lights hit the statues again, proving to be ineffective. The statues were already made of stones. These attacks couldn't do anything against them.

As Lucifer's left hand was healed by now, he picked one of the statues, using his immense strength before running towards the beast.

The beast kept attacking, but it had only one attack. And this attack was useless against these statues. The statue that Lucifer was carrying kept taking the attacks, leaving him safe from worries.

Despite seeing the statue coming towards him, the black stone beast hadn't moved from his spot. It was unclear if he could even move at all or if he was stuck here.
