Inhuman Warlock
chapter-498

"Keep Milena safe?" Salazar asked with a twisted look on his face. Since when did they become protectors of Milena? What actually was going on.

Lucifer raised his left hand and tapped his wrist three times to signal something. "She's now no better than an ordinary human."

Seeing that gesture, Salazar appeared to have understood everything.

"Ah, so that's what you did! Take out the head of a snake, and the entire snake falls. Clever indeed. Don't worry. I will keep her safe until your return."

Salazar turned to Caen and waved his hand. "Come with me. You'll be safer there as well."

Caen nodded.

"Ah, right." Salazar looked back at Lucifer as if remembering something. "I think you might be needing this. It didn't work on Nobles, but it might come in handy against the ordinary Warlocks."

He tossed the gun to Lucifer, which was given to him.

Lucifer caught the gun and kept that in his pocket.

"I already used the energy bullet. Keep that in mind when you use that," Salazar said at last before leaving.

Caen followed Salazar and left but not before wishing Lucifer luck.

"We only have seven minutes left. Can we go now, or do we waste time until enemies are inside our home?" Arthur asked Lucifer, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, let's leave."

Lucifer started rising in the air, using the wind. The other Nobles did the same.

At first, it was a little surprising to Lucifer to see that all the Noble Lords could fly. He remembered that Arthur had told him about only three Nobles being able to use the wind.

He didn't understand how it was.

"Also, as we fly, I want all of you to tell me your powers so we can coordinate properly. Also, what method do you use to communicate with each other when you're in battle?" he asked, to understand everyone more in the shortest time.

"I think you already know about me. I can use wind and teleportation. And I have other Noble specific powers like superior strength, speed, agility, and ability to fly." Arthur went first as he flew right beside Lucifer towards the Easter Border.

"Flying is something all Nobles can do?" Lucifer asked, surprised. He thought it was because of their abilities, but it appeared that he was wrong.

"In a way,* Arthur nodded. "However, it isn't as easy as controlling the superior strength and agility. It takes a lot of time for a Noble to be able to fly. That's why only we Noble Lords and a few rare Nobles are able to fly at the moment. The others will still take time."

"Even after all that, the ability is still good. I'm sure that the enemies wouldn't have many aerial fighters," Lucifer replied. "What about my second question?"

"Your second question's answer is that we use the same methods to contact others as you people do," Arthur said, showing his defense.

"However, when we're within one-kilometer proximity of each other, we don't need to use it. We can then use telepathy to transmit our thoughts," Lucifer replied, sighing.

"Now you have telepathy too? Is there something you people don't have? And here people said I was an oddity," Lucifer muttered, sighing.

"You don't have to be jealous. All you need to do is become a Noble. You'll have all the advantages too," Arthur suggested.

"Good attempt, but no thanks," Lucifer responded.

"You, what's your ability?" he asked the next person. "Introduce yourself while telling your ability. There needs to be no miscommunication."

"I am Duke. I'm a High Lord in the Divine Empire, and my ability is Hot Plasma Vision. I can fire a laser with my eyes at the enemies," the next man replied.

"That is a pretty good ability. You can be the firepower we will need. How powerful is that laser? Can it destroy barriers of enemies?" Lucifer asked.

"Most probably. There has never been a barrier I wasn't able to destroy," Duke replied.

"Good. You'll attack their planes with me. One thing I learned throughout the years is that one shouldn't waste an opportunity. Take the plane down when it's in the air! You'll stay with me," Lucifer nodded.

"What about you?" he asked another lady in the back who was dressed as a man. The woman also had short hair. From her face, no one could make sure if she was a lady or a feminine looking guy. However, her chest gave her away.

"I am Latvia and can use High Density Energy Field and use that same energy field to fire energy projectiles," the lady answered.

"Latvia, you'll be at defense then. Protect the others and make sure that not a single person dies. Except me, provide your defense to everyone," Lucifer let out.

"Next?"

"I am Jiani, and I can use Energy Manipulation," the next woman answered.

"Energy Manipulation?" Lucifer shook his head. "You'll have to explain in better terms. I don't understand what that is."

"It means I can absorb the energy attacks in my surroundings and manipulate them to become mine. And then I can attack with them," Jiani answered. "I can manipulate any attack as long as it's not as strong as the lightning you used."

"So you can piggyback on the attacks of others but not as strong as mine. Disappointing," Lucifer responded. "Alright, you stay in the back."

"Next?"

Since most of the Nobles were ladies, another woman stepped forward.

"I am Yasmine," the dark-haired lady said. "And I also use something similar to her known as Energy Negation."

Before Lucifer could ask her to explain, Yasmine continued. "I can create a field around me inside which no one can use Energy attacks. Moreover, all energy attacks that enter the field are negated, as long as they're not out of my range."

"Negate Energy attacks in your range? That means a long-range attack would be useless on you. Not bad. Only warrior type Warlocks can take you down. That's good. You'll also stay with me in the battle," Lucifer nodded, impressed.

"Stay with you?" Yasmine asked, surprised.

"That's right. You, Dukes, and Arthur will be the leading squad that will go ahead. The others will stay back and take the people down who escape our assault and manage to get inside the Royal City," Lucifer agreed.

"That means you four will stand outside the city alone?" Jiani asked, squinting her eyes.

"Four people standing together isn't the definition of alone. Also, that's true. We'll be outside the borders and the first line of defense." Lucifer nodded. "We'll take them down before they can get inside. But if some still do, I want them to be welcomed with all you have."
