Chapter 433 - 433: Arthur
Lucifer touched the barrier which was keeping him safe, destroying it instantly.
He stepped closer to Salazar, who was gravely looking at all the enemies before him.
There were so many Nobles around them, and all of them were strong Warlocks with incredible healing.
"Are you ready to go all out?" Salazar asked Lucifer, smiling.
"I’ve always been ready," Lucifer replied grimly.
"I’ll need air support then. You should go up so I could cast my Domain without affecting you," Salazar reminded Lucifer, who nodded.
"You’ll get more than air support," Lucifer let out as he started floating in the air. Dark clouds began covering the dark skies, surrounding the entire Royal Palace, spreading outwards..
"He’s running away! Stop that bastard!"
Seeing Lucifer fly up, the Nobles thought that he was running away.
"I don’t think he can run. Look there! He’s also here! I think he’ll take care of the kid now." Another Noble pointed towards the Royal Palace.
On top of the Royal Palace, a man was standing, with his arms folded. His dark red eyes were fixated on Lucifer, who was flying up.
Unlike the others, the man was wearing all red. He wore a red vest, on top of which he was wearing a red coat.
A silver cross was stabbed in his right ear, being used as an earring. The silver cross matched his short silver hair.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man lowered his hand, shaking his head. He took off his red coat before he also started floating in the air.
The dark clouds that had appeared in the sky started intensifying and roaring as black lightning flashed in the sky.
The loud roar of the clouds woke up the citizens of the city from their deep sleep.
Caen stood near his window, looking towards the dark clouds in the distance.
"Looks like the plan didn’t go as he thought it would. This can be a problem," he muttered as he jumped out the window.
....
Lucifer stopped more than a hundred feet above the ground, but he wasn’t alone. A red vested man also stood before him.
"Daire... Arthur Daire," The silver-haired man softly said.
"What?" Lucifer asked, confused.
"My name. I think you should know the name of the man who kills you. It’s only good manners," Arthur said calmly.
Lucifer didn’t answer, simply shaking his head.
It was only after his initial disappointment that he replied.
"Azarel... Lucifer Azarel..."
Hearing Lucifer reply with the same arrogance, Arthur’s face twitched unwillingly.
He opened his pale lips to reply, but before he could, a flash of black lightning fell. The lightning shot towards Arthur, but it wasn’t the only lightning bolt.
Hundreds of Lightning Bolts came crashing down, some even aiming for the Palace to bring Alicia out.
As the lightning was about to hit Arthur, he disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared before Lucifer, punching his guts.
His speed was so fast that it seemed like the mad had simply teleported. Lucifer couldn’t even see the man move.
The punch landed on him, the power of which was high enough to send Lucifer flying back uncontrollably. He crashed on a distant building, breaking the walls he kept passing through before his body ultimately stopped.
"Cough, that was unexpected."
Holding his stomach, Lucifer coughed out a mouthful of blood as he stood up.
He could feel that some of his ribs were broken, but they were healing.
Even though Lucifer was out of the picture, the lightning bolts still fell. More than thirty lightning bolts fell on top of the palace, destroying the roof and everything below it.
The Palace came crashing down, destroyed entirely. The other lightning bolts fell on the nobles, killing the ones that hadn’t managed to dodge.
Arthur looked around, amused. "That destruction. It’s not bad. He is powerful indeed."
He was amused at how many of their men were killed by Lucifer at once. More than fifty Nobles were dead at the same time their palace was destroyed.
He wasn’t concerned about Milena, who was still inside the Palace with other Nobles Lords since he knew they could protect themselves from it.
Just as he expected, an explosion took place as all the rubble of the Palace flew away, revealing a group of Nobles. Milena was standing in front of the group. A powerful aura was coming from her as a red mist formed around her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBehind Milena stood the white-haired man who was also standing behind her in the Royal Court. Despite not being a noble, he commanded high respect in the Empire because he was considered the right hand man of Milena.
As for why he was so dear to Milena, even the Noble Lords didn’t know about this. All they knew was that he was special. They also couldn’t understand why Milena didn’t make that man a Noble.
Milena was really angered at what had happened. Not only did some Warlock Council pests decide to attack them, they even destroyed their Palace. This was the limit to her patience.
’She seems upset. I can’t blame her for that. It was her decision to let these people live here. I would be upset too if I were in her place,’ Arthur thought, looking at Milena, who was looking angry.
’I wonder if she’ll send Sirius to take care of this mess or send someone else,’ he thought, glancing at the white-haired man behind Milena, known as Sirius.
Milena looked around, noticing Salazar fighting her man. For some strange reason, she could feel that something was odd.
Salazar was fighting against her nobles, who were moving extremely slowly, unable to do anything.
Frowning, she started walking towards Salazar himself.
"Hmm? Is she going herself? It looks like this guy is going to die. Well, at least he knows the name of her. He can die in peace, knowing the name of his murderer," Arthur thought, watching Milena walking towards Salazar.
The red mist around Milena kept getting intense as she approached Salazar.
...
Dancing with the winds, Salazar kept killing the nobles while avoiding all the attacks that were coming to him.
This time he was more careful as he didn’t want them to come back again. He kept taking their heads off.
The fact that everything inside his domain was slow helped him immensely. What helped him even more, was the fact that Lucifer took out quite a lot of them with his lightning.
He was curious as to why the attacks of lightning stopped suddenly. He looked up, surprised to see that Lucifer wasn’t there.
Instead, it was a red-vested man who simply smirked.
