Chapter 336 - 336: Varant's Message
Only two Warlocks were standing on the roof, but the two of them were enough to stop anyone that tried escaping as they were also S-Rank Warlocks.
A group of two was always told to guard the roof, so they worked in a team. The old group had gone to sleep, and now it was their turn.
"You two can go back. There's no need to guard the roof now," Lucifer told the Warlocks who had just greeted him.
The Warlocks didn't oppose and left through the lift.
Lucifer stood alone on the terrace now.
He looked at the sky, which was still slightly dark, but the sun could be seen rising in the distance. It was starting to get bright.
The sky was also slightly clouded, but that wasn't going to be the case for long.
Lucifer's body started floating in the air as he spread his arms.
As for the sky, it also started getting more clouded. As this place was mostly isolated, it didn't matter even if he practiced here. There were no civilians here who would be affected or spread the news.
The dark clouds covered the sky entirely as Lucifer prepared to use the Wrath of Heaven to practice it more.
This time, it was even faster as within seconds, tens of lightning bolts fell from the sky to the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the lightning bolts fell from the sky, many explosions took place all around the APF headquarters.
Vega was just about to leave to take a short nap after giving the tasks to Drak when he heard the explosions like everyone else who was inside the base.
Just like everyone, he also thought that they were being attacked. At least it seemed that way. Fortunately, after checking a little, he realized that it wasn't that they were being attacked. It was just Lucifer practicing.
"It seems like some of his lightning bolts fell on the mines, causing the explosions." As he understood what was happening, he pressed the button on his system.
"This is Vega, contacting all Uprising Members. The explosions that you just heard aren't because we're being attacked. It's because our new Captain is practicing his skills. You can relax," he said.
His voice echoed in the entire APF base from the speakers that were almost everywhere.
Even Cassius and Alicia had stepped out of their rooms after the sound of explosions, but after hearing Vega, they understood more about it. It was just Lucifer practicing.
They walked back inside the rooms, not getting worked up. The other Uprising members also relaxed.
...
Floating in the sky, even Lucifer was surprised at the explosions. He had entirely forgotten about the explosives that Ayn had told him about.
He didn't stop because of them though. He continued using the Wrath of Heaven, again and again, pushing his limits.
The explosions continued as every time, at least one or two lightning bolts fell on top of the explosives.
The explosions only stopped when Lucifer stopped. He had used the lightning so many times that he was sweating by now.
He landed on the ground, struggling even to stand. He had actually used this exhausting skill more than four times.
Even when he felt like he couldn't do it anymore, he used it one more time before stopping.
He felt a strange tingling in his hands and was extremely exhausted. Fortunately, he was still able to walk despite being weak.
He entered the lift and went down.
Stopping in the Canteen, he called for some food.
...
"Kensington has fallen!"
"We're showing you the live footage from Kensington. Not even a single building is left standing."
" Uprising attacked Kensington! The Government statement tells us that they are taking this matter seriously and that Uprising will face the consequences for it!"
Almost all the news channels were covering the destruction of Kensington City, which had been wiped off the map. Only barren land was left there.
" After pretending to be the good guys, Variant Uprising finally showed its true face after destroying Kensington. Even in the next city, we heard reports of Uprising Members killing people."
The news coverage continued for hours since it seemed to be big news.
It was only in the afternoon when the news channels received a response from APF.
"Many lives are lost in the Kensington Tragedy! We have just received a video from the APF on this tragedy! We would like to show our viewers!"
Almost all the news channels played the video to the public in which Varant was talking about what happened in Kensington and how the Uprising destroyed a city.
He also talked about the fact that the Uprising will face the consequences for what they did.
None of them knew that it wasn't actually Varant but Caen, who had recorded the video. Even the government in the Capital City didn't realize that Varant was dead.
All the bodies that were in Kensington were destroyed after all. There was no proof that any APF members had died there.
...
It was four in the afternoon when more Helicopters landed on the roof of APF headquarters.
The helicopter was not only carrying the members of the Uprising, but it also had Veracity.
Moreover, there was also a scientist who was carrying a silver bag in his hands.
The group of twenty was escorted down to the meeting room where Lucifer, Alicia, Kellian, Cassius, Yaliza, and all of the important members were sitting, discussing the next plan of action.
Even Uzuki was in the meeting, but it wasn't the normal Uzuki. The Warlock Uzuki was sitting in the meeting. Caen was also here.
"I have received more insider information from my source. Apparently, APF members are also checked before entering the Capital City. The only exception is Varant. He is never checked. And I think we can use this," Lucifer said, starting the meeting.
"Use Varant? Isn't that guy already dead?" Uzuki inquired.
"He is dead, but only we know. For the world, he is still alive. That's why we will use a fake Varant to get us in without trouble," Lucifer replied.
"Caen will impersonate Varant and solve our biggest problem," he added as he continued talking about the plan in greater detail, from the start to the end.
"According to my sources, Zeiss isn't in the city. He is in the Dungeon, which is near the Capital City, with his team. This would be pretty easy. By the time he comes out, everything would be over," Lucifer continued.
"Drak, you're responsible for keeping an eye on the dungeon. I want to know as soon as Zeiss steps out of it, alright?" He asks Drak.
