Inhuman Warlock
chapter-513

"And if you think you don't need to take them out anymore than I do, I would be happy to wait and watch. I give it one month at most before they mount their full scale attack on the Divine Empire," he added.

Hearing Lucifer, Milena understood that he wasn't lying either. It was true that he had enmity with the Warlock Council, but it was also true that she was probably the biggest enemy in the eyes of the Warlock Council. They were probably going to return soon.

"I think you already know that much," Lucifer continued. "So it's not that I want to use your Nobles to fight my wars. It's instead you who will be giving me your Nobles to take the Warlock Council out."

All the Noble Lords looked at Milena, waiting for her response.

"So it's clear that we'll all be fighting the Warlock Council," Milena nodded. "Don't you think it would be better if I could use my powers again?"

She raised her hand to reveal the bracelet again.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I fully intend to use your abilities to their fullest extent, but that won't need me taking off the bracelet," Lucifer replied.

He stood up and walked closer to Milena, and touched her bracelet gently.

The red light on the bracelet turned green.

"Now, you can use your powers without being hurt, but you still can't take that off. If you even try, you'll get badly hurt. And the link to me still stays. If I'm hurt, that limiter will kill you. So you should know how to behave."

He sat back on the couch. Now that he had the ability of Derek, he wasn't concerned about his safety. He didn't need to keep Milena restricted. He was sure that he could take care of her easily now.

The only reason he had used the Limiter on her was because he was concerned about her after what he went through. He had been too relaxed and confident recently, which got him trapped last time.

He wanted some time to think about how to handle Milena. She was more threatening than any other Warlock from the Warlock Council in his eyes.

He didn't want to trust her in haste and fight beside her, just because a team of Warlock Council was at the door.

Now that the Warlock Council problem was solved temporarily, he could think with a calm head.

Milena raised her right finger in the direction of Lucifer. A white sphere of light appeared above her finger, floating in the air.

She could actually use her powers without being hurt. It appeared that he wasn't lying about that either.

"Shall I consider it your willingness to fight beside me?" Milena asked.

Now that she was allowed to use her powers, she wondered if he wasn't scared of her anymore.

"Of course you can. You can't kill me in any case. And even if you did, you'll die as well. Not only that, if I end up in a mental prison or something like that, you'll die even then. So you can't use the trick either," Lucifer answered.

"I won't keep you restricted. You're free to do whatever you want but remember. I control your life now," he added as he stood up.

"Caen, Salazar, follow me."

He started walking away, leaving a stunned Milena behind.

"Where are you going?"

Milena followed Lucifer. The other Noble Lords also did the same.

"We're going to the city to eat something. I haven't eaten in a long time. I'm hungry," Lucifer lazily answered. "You don't have to come. I don't want a crowd with me."

"Crowd?" Milena asked, glancing back. It was true. All the Nobles were coming behind her. "You all go back to the Palace and take care of the repair works. I'll be back."

She directly told her men to stop following her. Since it was a matter of crowd, it didn't matter if she came alone.

Arthur released a mouthful of breath, but he didn't say no. He stopped with the rest.

Milena left the Guest palace, flying behind Lucifer, who was carrying Caen and Salazar with his winds too.

"Do you need to come? It's not as if you will eat anything. As for blood, you won't get any in the open," Lucifer told the lady who was flying beside him.

"Who told you I only drink blood? Unlike the Nobles, I can survive on both. I didn't always drink blood, after all. Blood is a necessity for the Nobles, but it's only a luxury for me," Milena answered. "In any case, do you even know where the human restaurants are? I can guide you."

"Are you trying to win my trust?" Lucifer asked. "Acting close won't make me take off the bracelet."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can use my abilities to protect my people, I don't care about this bracelet. Also, even though I don't like the thought of my life linked with yours, if it had to be anyone, I'm glad it's someone with your healing abilities, which are stronger than mine."

"How do you know about my healing? You weren't in the War? Ah, Arthur and Duke told you. I got it."

"Nope. I found it from your story. I mean, your story starts from a dead person coming back to life. It's safe to say that you can heal," Milena replied.

She pointed in a direction. "Look there! That's the best restaurant, according to what I heard."

"You heard? You didn't go there?" Lucifer asked.

"I didn't. But I ate the food made by the chef of this restaurant in the Palace a few times. I think you'll like it," Milena answered.

Lucifer felt suspicious at how innocent Milena was acting. It was as if she had no ill intention towards him.

He wondered if it was because she came to terms with the reality that she needed him? Or was it because she wanted to have him take off the bracelet like he took off Salazar.

Lucifer landed before the restaurant that was suggested by Milena. Pushing the door open, he stepped inside.

The restaurant interior was pretty ordinary. There were wooden chairs surrounding rectangular wooden tables. Glass windows gave a view of the outside and let lights in.

A middle-aged man was sitting on one of the chairs, keeping his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

Since there was a war on the horizon, the Nobles had declared that no one was to leave their homes.. That declaration was still in effect since the general public didn't know that the war was over.
