<h4>Chapter 377 - 377: Carnage </h4>


    Lucifer kept trying the number of Kellian, but it didn’t connect.


    "What did he say?" Yaliza asked Lucifer, concerned about his friend as well. He also knew about the dream.


    "Szar is already there. I doubt Kellian is going to listen to me," Lucifer answered. "Hopefully, he would at least be able to dy Szar until we get there."


    ...


    Kellian properly adjusted his jacket before leaving his office. Instead of letting Szare to him, he was going to walk to Szar himself.


    Along the way, more Uprising Warlocks joined him.


    ..


    Szar Lucia found the new headquarters of the Uprising, which was temporarily made in the Capital City. As for their real headquarters, it was to be madeter. They had just taken over this ce.


    Szar reached the entrance of the building, which was being guarded by a Warlock of Uprising. It was an S-Rank Warlock who didn’t have any hair on his round head.


    The Warlock known as Gallente had dark eyes that nced at Szar Lucia, who wasing to him.


    He recognized Szar, but he still decided to stop him. He couldn’t let anyone enter without permission of Kellian.


    "Warlock King Szar, please wait right there. You first need to go through checking!"


    "I don’t have time," Szarzily said, not stopping.


    "I’m afraid I must insist," Gallente stepped in front of Szar, blocking his path.


    "I stand by my statement," Szar said, walking casually with his hand in his pocket.


    As Szar nced at Gallente, time seemed to have slowed down. The movement speed of Gallente was that of a turtle now.


    Szar walked with his normal speed, getting past Gallente, who hadn’t even managed to move his hand in this time.


    Gallente noticed that Szar was moving so fast that he couldn’t catch up.


    His own speed wasn’tparable. But for Szar, he wasn’t moving fast. It was Gallente who was too slow. Ten seconds of Gallente were simr to one second of Szar.


    Gallente was still caught in his slow movement, whereas Szar had already reached the entrance of the building.


    Bringing his hand out of his pocket, he pushed the door open.


    As Szar entered the building, Gallente finally came out of the time maniption he was caught in.


    Warlock King Szar Lucia was one of the most mystical Warlocks. Not many people knew what his powers were.


    Almost everyone thought that his powers were that he had super speed and high endurance, but everyone was wrong.


    Warlock King Szar Lucia had the power of Time Maniption. He could slow down the time in his surroundings to some extent, making everything else slow down while he was able to move freely.


    Everyone outside his range was unaffected by his powers though. This was also the limitation of his powers.


    It didn’t affect people who weren’t in his range. That’s why he kept the workings of his powers a secret.


    It was also a power that was hard to guess since it was difficult to distinguish that it wasn’t Szar who was fast, but it was the world that was slow.


    Using this strange power, he had been able to climb the hierarchy and be a Warlock King.


    "Warlock King Szar Lucia, may I ask what brought you here?"


    As soon as Szar entered the building, he was greeted by Kellian and other Warlocks standing in his path.


    "You must be Kellian from Uprising, also known as the Shadow Monarch. You should be the second inmand here, am I right?" Szar Lucia asked.


    "I am. So what brought you here?" Kellian calmly asked.


    "I’m here to meet Lucifer," Szar exined.


    "I’m sorry, but he’s not in the city at the moment. You’ll have toe backter."


    "Why do I find it hard to believe your words. Ah, maybe because you’re not the good guys. You’re the people using Lucifer for your goals, so of course, you’ll keep him hidden. But I’m not going back without him. Tell me where he is?"


    "I told you, he’s not here. Stop being paranoid and leave. I’ll inform you when he returns."


    "You won’t mind if I check myself, right?"


    " I’m sorry, but I can’t let you do that either. This is our base, not a park where anyone can roam freely."


    "Should I consider it as your unwillingness to let me see for myself? That makes me even more suspicious of this ce. I’m going to check myself. Step aside if you don’t want to get hurt."


    A calm conversation turned into something more serious, ending with a threating from Szar Lucia.


    "You’re an idiot; you know that?" Kellian asked, shaking his head. "When he isn’t here, you’re still insisting so much, as if you’re so sure."


    "Step aside!" Szar insisted.


    Kellian sighed, remembering Lucifer’s words. Lucifer didn’t want any fight here, so he decided to follow those words.


    "Fine! You can check. But what if you don’t find him? Will you apologize for this aggression?" he asked.


    "We’ll see about thatter." Withoutmenting on anything, Szar continued walking inside.


    ...


    "Vega, I can’t contact Kellian. What’s the update? Do you know why Szar is there?" Unable to talk to Kellian, Lucifer contacted Vega.


    "Yeah. I don’t think there’s any need to worry. Apparently, he’s there to meet you and not to fight," Vega exined.


    Hearing the update on the situation, Lucifer finally felt better. There was no need to worry. Still, he didn’tpletely put his guard down.


    "That’s good, but still stay alert. I don’t want Kellian hurt. That prediction can’te true!"


    ...


    Szar Lucia checked the entire building, unable to find Lucifer. The entire building was filled with silence as it was upied by less than a hundred people at the moment, making it easy to search the whole ce.


    Szar finished the search on the terrace.


    "See? He’s not here. Are you satisfied now?" Kellian asked Szar, standing under the clear sky.


    "You’re right," Szar agreed. "Where is he then?"


    "Why do you want to meet him?" Kellian also asked before answering.


    "Because I want to take him with me, away from all this carnage," Szar replied, turning his back on Kellian.


    He looked at the beautiful setting sun in the distance.


    "Yeah, that’s impossible. He wanted this. He wanted Elisium to be governed by Variants."


    "What you see is what he wanted. You can never take him away from this. For him, it’s not a Carnage, but it’s the future that he wants. So you should give up," Kellian pointed out. "He’ll nevere with you."


    "Yeah, he won’t because of you all, I know. You’re the ones that messed with his brain. You think I don’t know the ability of Raia?" Szar asked, turning around.


    "As long as I remove the obstruction known as Uprising, he’ll definitelye with me," he added, smiling. "It’s good that he’s not here at the moment. I can freely take care of this mess."
