Chapter 638: Faced
Boom~
A massive black lightning bolt fell from the sky as if answering Lucifer's call, but it didn't fall on the building. Instead, it straight fell before Lucifer, a few feet away from his body.
Lucifer raised his hand, grabbing the lightning bolt that was falling towards the ground, stopping it in place.
The lightning bolt was too big for Lucifer to hold but it started compression as soon as his hand wrapped around it, so much so that it was no thicker than a staff.
Before long, the bolt started looking like a lightning spear which was filled with immense power. Lucifer threw the spear directly towards the windows with the formation.
Boom~
The spears clashed with the windows which were reinforced by the shining formations that tried to keep it intact.
Boom~
The spear and the formatting clashed but the victory was of the spear as the formation was destroyed. Before the spear could enjoy any success, another formation appeared in the back.
The spear kept crashing through formation after formation as it got closer to the window, looking almost unstoppable. It was also losing Power though.
Fortunately, it clashed with the glass before it could disappear. The glass was destroyed and the formation before it stopped, leaving a massive entry in the window.
Lucifer used the window of the building to fly straight inside the floor of Julien. He looked everywhere to find clues about Kellian but he couldn't.
At last, he checked the bedroom of Julien.
In the bedroom, he did find something that made him even more upset. There was blood on the ground. There was also more than just blood there.
It was actually none other than Kellian. He was lying dead right before his eyes and not in a situation where he could be healed.
Lucifer didn't look at Kellian for long. Instead, he turned his back on Kellian.
"I don't care who you are, but you've made a mistake you shouldn't have... And now you'll pay for it."
Lucifer turned around to leave, but he stopped before the door and again turned around.
He was conflicted in his mind about something. He wondered if he should leave Kellian like that or if he should absorb Kellian's powers.
After taking a deep breath, he decided to do the latter. Kellian was different from Jenilia. He was much closer to him. And Lucifer felt more sad over his death.
But at the same time, he felt more angered at the person who had killed him. And he knew that he had to take Kellian's powers to find that man faster and again use his power to kill that person. That was the true justice.
Taking a deep breath, he walked towards Kellian, deciding to do it. He uses his Decay to destroy most of Kellian's body while absorbing the last piece of his, taking the power of Kellian.
After finishing up, he stood up and left the room where Kellian had died.
...
Back at the lower floors, Julien was going around, doing things as usual. He had killed half the Warlocks by now but there were still more left.
"I never thought about it, but there are too many Warlocks in the council. What a mess. My arms are hurting already," he said, shaking his head.
Despite feeling tired, he still continued the massacre, killing more and more.
It was after quite some time that he finally finished. But that also made him more tired.
He found himself thirsty already. Instead of walking thirty metres back to Milena, he decided to walk five metres ahead to the room which had the kitchen on that floor. He wanted to drink some water at least before continuing.
Moreover, he didn't think that Milena was going to run away. The entire floor was the captive of his time control. None could move without his permission.
He walked straight ahead, only to find that the door to the kitchen was already open. And it wasn't enmity either.
"Looks like someone else had the same idea as me." He smiled as he stepped inside.
He could see a woman inside who was standing beside the fridge which was open. She was just about to bring something out when time stopped and she found herself here.
Julien stepped closer to the woman near the fridge. "Aren't you the woman who was with Lucifer? For a commoner, you seem to be awfully comfortable in this warzone. So you certainly were working with them, weren't you?"
"Then again, I can't blame you. It's also because of you that he was found out. Just for that reason alone, I should leave you alive, shouldn't I?" he asked, bringing a bottle of Water from the fridge.
He opened the cap of the bottle and started drinking some water while sitting on the ground, lazily.
He glanced at Eve again. "I can't help but notice it. But are all women around Lucifer so beautiful? I mean, so far I've seen two. And both of them were certainly special in their own league. He's a lucky guy, isn't he?"
"No wonder his luck has run out so fast. I've heard that pretty ladies are no less than succubus who suck the guy dry of everything. It's much better to live alone and enjoy the comfort of sleep, wouldn't you agree?" he asked.
"Ah, right. You can't even speak." Smiling, he stood up. He had finished the bottle.
He walked to the fridge and kept the empty bottle back and turned to leave.
He had almost reached the door to leave when he stopped.
"Then again, It's better to not leave any threat for the future. Who knows, you might be more than just a pretty face like Milena." He turned around, sighing.
Even though he said it, seeing that he had to walk back and waste time, he couldn't help but shake his head. "God, more unnecessary walking."
"I should plan before doing something. Changing my mind in the middle wastes so much time."
"On second thought, it might be better to leave you for others to handle. Too much work for me to walk back."
He turned to the door again but couldn't step out. "Then again, it'll be even more work if you escaped and I was tasked with finding you."
He once again turned to look at Eve and started walking back to her.
He stepped just a few inches away from her. "Don't blame me, alright. I didn't ask you to come here. It's not like I wanted to waste my sleeping time either. You all forced me."
Swiss~
He lazily raised his sword to slice the head of Eve to take her out right there.
