Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 576 - 576: Evolution



Lucifer landed outside the Snow Clan mansion and stepped inside the house with Salazar after observing the surroundings. 

The two of them reached their rooms. 

"Get some sleep. I'll read the diary and see what it's about. And don't even tell Jenilia about what we did."

"Yeah." Salazar entered his room, wishing goodnight to Lucifer. 

Lucifer also stepped into his room and closed the door. 

He walked to his white bed and placed the diary and the map there. He also took off his cloak, keeping it in the corner before he went inside the shower to freshen up. 

After a short shower, he stepped out. 

As soon as he stepped out, he noticed someone in his room. "What are you doing here?" 

The white-haired man was smiling. "Can't I come? It's my own house, after all."

"Sneaking inside the room of your guests. That's not good, is it?" Lucifer asked, walking closer to the man. He snatched the diary that was in the man's hand. 

The patriarch of the Snow Wolf Clan didn't try to stop him. He had already tried reading it, but he couldn't understand even a single thing. The words were incomprehensible to him. 

"Since you can sneak in and out of my house, why can't I sneak in your room? By the way, may I ask where you found this diary? In the Thunder Clan?"

"So you were following me?" Lucifer frowned. 

"Well, I was just trying to make sure you didn't get yourself killed. Let alone being killed; you killed the Thunder Clan Patriarch himself? I certainly underestimated you."

"You do you know that?"

"I entered the mansion after you stepped out. It was certainly surprising to know what you did. But you left a mess. You left other Thunder Lions alive. Even without their leader, they could've made a commotion. You know how stupid it was to leave them alive?" The man asked, rolling his eyes. 

"Leaving a weakened clan alive is worse since they would've tried revenge sneakily. So I had to finish them off," he added. 

"So you killed the rest?" Lucifer asked. 

"Yes. At first, I simply wanted to kill them after finding out what you did there. If I had even the slightest proof of you working with them, you would've been dead by now as well. However, you killed their leader. There's no way you were working for them."

"And that's why you're still alive, talking to me."

"May I ask what this is?"

Lucifer's frown deepened, but he didn't reply. 

"So why did you do it? Because he threatened you and risked attacking others?" The man asked. 

"You can say that," Lucifer responded. "Now, please leave. I need to sleep. Moreover, I'm about to leave soon as well. You won't have to worry about me anymore."

"You'll leave? But I was just starting to like you. However, that's probably for good. Make sure to give Hun a good reason, so he isn't disappointed." The man stood up, turning to leave.

"Oh right. I forgot to mention one thing. I don't know what's written in that diary, but the man is something I find familiar. If you need my help, come to me in the morning."

The man left the room, disappearing into the night. 

"The map?" Lucifer threw the diary to the side and walked to the map. In everything, he had forgotten to check the map as well. 

He picked up the old man and unfolded it to reveal what was inside. 

"This handwriting!" He exclaimed, seeing the map. 

Even though the diary didn't have the handwriting of his family, making it belong to someone else, the map did have his parents' handwriting. 

It wasn't any random map but something that they kept with them. 

He sat on the bed and started trying to understand the map. 

"Seventh Tomb." There was one word written on the map which wasn't written by his parents. 

However, the second line was written by his father from what he could understand. 

"Stopped search at Seventh Section. Need to continue from here next time." 

After the line, there was an arrow that pointed towards an X mark on the map. 

"So that's where they stopped search? Search for what? And why did they stop?" Lucifer exclaimed. "Moreover, it looks like the map isn't complete. 

There was another like which could be seen stopping on the left edge of the map. It was as if the line was pointing towards something, but that part was missing.

"Did that man hide something from me?"

"The map didn't name the location either. It just said it was in the Seventh Tomb. This place will certainly be in Elisium. But I don't think I heard about it before."

He quickly left the room, stepping into Salazar's room. 

"Wake up."

"Did you need something?" Salazar had just closed his eyes to get some sleep when Lucifer woke him up. 

"Do you know about the Seventh Tomb?" Lucifer asked. 

"Seventh Tomb? I don't think I've heard about it before." Salazar shook his head. "Is it something important?"

"It's nothing. Go to sleep." Lucifer departed from the room and barged inside Jenilia's room. 

Jenilia was still up, keeping an eye on Gon, who was sleeping. 

"He's still not summoned back?" Lucifer asked. 

"Not yet," Jenilia replied. 

"Alright. Leaving that aside, did you hear about the Seventh Tomb?" Lucifer inquired, wondering if the Warlock Council had any information. 

"Seventh Tomb? Is this about a Tomb of some king or something? I don't think I heard about it before."

"Alright." Lucifer left the room, disappointed. He walked back inside his room, keeping the map aside. 

"Hun's father did say that he knows something about the map. I'll talk to him in the morning."

He picked up the map and kept it inside his pocket safely. "And if I can't get any information, after getting back, I can scan the map to find matches. Something should turn up. Whatever they were looking for, it must be important."

After putting the matter of the map at rest for a moment, he picked up the diary and started reading it. 

The diary had over five hundred pages, making it slightly thick. Most of the pages were empty though. 

It didn't take Lucifer even two hours to finish reading the diary. 

"Is that even possible? If it is, it would be something incredible... This man... He was a genius. I'm surprised this theory hasn't spread to others. Could it be that it didn't work, and that's why? But the way I read it, this certainly makes sense.. If it works, it'll be amazing."
