Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 632 - 632: Running Away

There were formations all around the room to absorb lightning. If Lucifer fired any bolts, before they could even reach them, they were going to be absorbed by the formations near the wall.

This was what gave so much confidence to the Warlocks.

They had effectively made Lucifer's lightning and his wind useless, which were claimed to be his strongest abilities.

There was also his Decay which they knew about, but that was easy to avoid. All they needed was to make sure that they didn't let him touch them.

They knew that Lucifer was being a fake tiger at the moment. He was going to cave in. And after capturing them, they could swiftly take him out.

"One!" Joan started his count.

The other Warlocks also took their positions.

"Two..."

"Before I say three, why don't you try testing your lightning and your wind?" Joan suggested, wondering if Lucifer didn't know yet.

"Go ahead. Try using it on me." Joan confidently said, laughing.

Lucifer looked at Joan, amused.

"Are you ready, Kellian?" he said.

The Warlocks looked at him, wondering who he was talking to. Some of them remembered the name of Kellian as well from previous meetings. He was the vice Captain of the Uprising and known as the shadow Monarch.

Before they could get to any conclusions, they heard a loud booming sound.

All the formations that were surrounding the room disappeared abruptly. Even the Wall stopped shining.

One lightning Bolt appeared behind each of the Warlock Leaders while a wind knife appeared before them.

The bolt and the knife moved at the same time.

The Warlocks were still overwhelmed by the sudden change. They couldn't even think about dodging such abrupt attacks. Fortunately, there was one Warlock in their group who was sharp.

He was standing in the back, not speaking much. He was just keeping an eye on the situation in case he was needed. He was known as Avil.

He was one of the most low profile Warlocks in the Head Council but everyone knew that he was also one of the most useful ones. He was an integral part of the Head Council.

That's also why the Head Council never sent Avil on a mission alone. If there was a mission of one or two people, they never sent him. He was too important to be lost in minor battles.

As soon as Avil saw the formations disappear, he understood that something was wrong. He didn't even wait to know what it was like others. He directly used his powers.

The lightning bolts were mere inches away from the throat of the Warlock Leaders when they all disappeared.

"Where did they go?" Lucifer exclaimed, frowning.

The barrier surrounding Arthur and Milena also disappeared.

Milena observed her surroundings. "Looks like they ran away. Pretty fast."

"I can feel some spatial disturbance. It looks like some kind of mass teleportation. There must be some Warlock who is capable of doing that in their group."

No one knew about any existence of a Warlock in the Head Council who had a power like this since Avil only used his other power. His power of Mass Teleportation was something that only the Head Council knew.

That's also why he was so important to them. He could get them out of any troublesome situation.

"Kellian, can you see where they are? And who was it that did it?" Lucifer asked.

Kellian came out of the shadows.

"It doesn't look like they are inside the building," he said, observing all the camera footage.

"I made a mistake," Lucifer said. "I should've brought Salazar as well. He could've slowed them down. Now we don't know where all these snakes might be."

"Wait. I can see them. They are on the roof, discussing something. Looks like they appeared there."

"Can you check the footage of this room to find the person that used this Teleportation? If we just went like this, it'll be useless again."

"Just give me a minute."

The shadows in the control room looked through the footage of the room to find the person who used the ability.

"I have a feeling that it was the man in the back. His reflexes were the fastest and I can also see a shine in his eyes before they all disappeared.?His name appears to be Avil."

"Arthur, do you remember the face of the person who was standing in the back?" Lucifer asked, turning to Arthur.

"I think I saw him," Arthur nodded.

"Good. I don't want him to use his powers again. So before I go there, I want you to go and take out Avil first. Can you do it?"

"His reflexes seem to be fast. I can't guarantee anything. But I can try."

"Try isn't enough. I want you to do it at any cost! I don't want to play the cat and mouse game forever!"

....

Avil had acted swiftly after seeing all the formations stop. He directly brought everyone away from Lucifer at the first sight of danger.

After appearing on the roof, everyone was initially confused but soon understood that it was Avil.

Most of them thanked Avil for what he did. They were all so confident in the formation that they didn't think what might have happened if the formation stopped.

Joan directly contacted the Defense Staff to ask them what was happening. He didn't receive any response though. Everyone in the room was already dead there. Only Kellian's shadow was there, hearing Joan repeatedly ask questions.

"Something is seriously wrong. No one is responding," Joan informed the others.

"I think it might be the work of Kellian. As soon as Lucifer said that name, the formation stopped working. And if I'm not wrong, Kellian is famous for his ability to hide in the shadows," Ganso chimed in.

"I also think it's his fault. And the Defense Room isn't responding. The control of all the formations are there as well. I have a feeling that Kellian might have infiltrated that place. He turned off the formations!" Another Warlock said.

"That should be the case! That bastard effectively stole the control of our headquarters so we couldn't do anything against him!" Joan ahead with the others.

"You were right about this Lucifer. He was certainly a scheming bastard! He came here with a plan! And he had almost killed us all! We can't let it go! We need to kill that bastard at any cost!"

"Agreed. But we need to be more careful this time! We can't lose too many people in this battle!"

"I have a suggestion we can try.." Avil took a step forward.
