Inhuman Warlock-939 Chapter 939
Something had happened that shouldn't have happened...
Everywhere, there was only silence as everyone was in immense shock. A body was lying near the feet of Lucifer, and the body belonged to none other than the grandson of one of the Highest Ranking Generals in the Star Alliance!
The rule did say that death was a possibility in the battles, but still, everyone knew that there were people amongst the participants that shouldn't be killed if the world wanted to be peaceful! Not only was Mander the Grandson of the strongest General in the Star Alliance, but he was also the heir of the Flame Lord Clan!
The Master of the Flame Lord Bloodline was the father of Mander! Mander's family were the rulers of an entire world, which was one of the strongest species in existence after the Three Major Species were wiped. And the young prince had just been killed.
Even the old man was stunned. He could see through the flames and knew what was taking place inside, but even he hadn't expected something like this to happen. As soon as he saw things going wrong, he was about to interfere. Unfortunately, everything happened too fast. Before he could even move, Mander was dead!
He rushed to the stage and picked up Mander's body. He checked the nerves of the young man. Mander's heart had stopped beating. He placed his palm on Mander's chest, using his abilities to try to heal Mander, but nothing worked. He managed to heal the physical damage on the body, but he couldn't bring Mander back to life. The man... was dead...
The first death had happened in the Trial World, but it wasn't the weakest person who had died. Instead, the person who was top ranker, and projected to win this whole thing at the start of the Trials was killed! And he was killed by none other than the last ranker.
Since everyone here knew the family that Mander belonged to, they knew that this wasn't the end of it. Even though the Star Alliance wasn't going to punish Lucifer for this death, Mander's family wasn't going to let him rest. A major event had taken place...

Raayi had her lips slightly open, looking at Mander's dead body. She couldn't help but imagine if she could be in Mander's place. She didn't see what happened inside the Flames, but whatever happened wasn't good...
"This is troublesome." Even Ron didn't know how to react to this whole thing. He came here to fight and challenge the strongest youngsters. If there was one person here who didn't care about rules and laws, then it was him. However, even he never thought about killing someone while he was here. Especially Mander and Raayi.
Amongst the families that were part of the Star Alliance and the major forces in the world, the Flame Lords, the Snow Lords, and the Thunder Lords held a lot of power, along with some other clans.
He knew if he killed one of the other two seeds, this could lead to an escalation in tension between the strongest families. Even though his family wasn't going to let any harm come to him, he still wanted to avoid the conflict between the two families.
Unlike him, Lucifer didn't come with the backing of any major families. He wasn't like them. His life was in much more danger than it would've been for them if one of them had killed Mander.
"He is dead..." The old man informed his men. "Take the body back and keep it secure. I'll send a message to the Alliance..."
His men stepped forward and carried Mander's body off the stage. They carried the lifeless body back to the base.
The old man remained standing in the middle of the stage for quite some time, seemingly lost in some serious thought.
"This shouldn't have happened... Things went too far." Even though he talked to himself, Lucifer could hear the words of the old man.
Even he understood that this whole thing was troublesome. He had inadvertently made some new enemies, and that too at the top of the Star Alliance Hierarchy. Even though it was an accident, he knew it wasn't time for excuses. Now that things had progressed so far, he could only accept it.
"It certainly went too far..." Lucifer looked down at his clothes which were covered in blood. "I was about to make him surrender when he attacked me. And subconsciously I..."
"Then again, if he didn't care about going easy in a battle, I didn't need to go easy either. He wanted my death, and he received death instead. It's only fair. You can't remove me from the Trials for that," he stated, slightly worried that he was going to be expelled from here after coming this close.
He didn't want to be expelled from this place. He needed to win and stay till the end when the barriers of the world were removed. He needed that to take Gabriel out with him.
"Don't worry. Even though what happened here was unfortunate, it's not against the rules. And I saw everything that happened. You aren't in problem from my side. You'll continue in the trial. And as long as you're here, no one will harm you over what happened. But once you leave here, that's where the troubles will start.'
"If you don't leave this place after winning, you'll just be an ordinary member of the Star Alliance. But even if you win, you'll just be a one star Captain. You won't even be close to a General. If you were a General, even Rasin Clan would've been hard pressed to attack you, but if you're just a Captain or less, they can take many approaches to have you killed."
"I don't think the Trial is something you need to worry about at this point. But the future..."
"Rasin Clan?"
"Yeah. It's the Clan Mander came from. His full name is Mander Rasin. And the Rasin Clan is one of the strongest clans in the Star Alliance. That's the problem. I'll try writing to the Queen to see what we can do to keep you safe, but even if she gives decree that you aren't to be attacked, that'll just stop them from openly attacking you."
'Just my luck... Rasin Clan will be after me now. Then again, it's not too bad either. If I were to look at the bigger picture, soon, the entire Star Alliance would be after me. What's one clan... Though I do have Gabriel now. And there's Ron as well... His family is also a high-ranking family. Maybe…' He glanced back at Ron.
