Chapter 500 - 500: Strongest Defence
Lucifer's gaze met with Andreas. He also recognized that person. He was the leader of the Warlock Council, Andreas. Moreover, he was also the same person that Caen was impersonating.
"That man... Isn't that your friend?" Duke asked, also noticing Andreas.
"He's not Caen. Caen was impersonating to be him. He's the real deal," Lucifer replied. "Anyway, it's time for you to show your skills. Let's give the guests a welcome gift."
"You mean..."
"That's right. Target the first plane," Lucifer replied.
In the meantime, his clouds had also gathered. They even started roaring as if telling Lucifer that they were prepared to take the enemy down.
Arthur and Yasmine took out the last golden sword as well before they returned to the wall to stand beside Lucifer.
Arthur appeared perfectly fine, as if what he did was too easy. On the other hand, Yasmine was sweating and breathing heavily as she went through a lot.
It was hard for her to cast her domain ten times in quick succession.
"You did good. Now stay back and let us take care of them," Lucifer said, patting the shoulder of Yasmine.
He also took off his gloves and kept them in his pockets. "Duke, not!"
As Lucifer stretched his arms, Duke attacked. A bright laser beam left his eyes, getting thicker as it reached farther.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe beam advanced towards the first plane from which Andrew was peeking out.
Andreas wasn't phased. He didn't even bother to go back inside the plane. He had faith in the barrier around the plane.
The beam of energy hit the barrier, making it flap. The barrier started flickering a bit in the face of the powerful attack, but that was all. The barrier wasn't broken.
However, before Andreas could even smile, another attack came towards his plane, this time even more powerful.
The attack this time doesn't come from the front. Instead, it came from the sky.
Black bolt of lightning penetrated through the dark clouds before landing on the barrier of the plane. The barrier again flickered but did not stop there. Another lightning bolt fell from the sky.
One after another, lightning bolts kept falling from the sky on the same spot.
Inside the plane, a blonde man was sitting on his seat with his eyes clenched tightly. He was the S-Rank Warlock who was maintaining the defensive barrier.
His entire body was covered in sweat as he wondered if he could maintain the barrier for long.
A few Warlocks noticed the condition of the blonde Warlock. They hastily ran to Andreas.
"I don't think Drake would last long like this. This attack is powerful. And unlike other powerful attacks, it doesn't stop. It's as if the person who is attacking us doesn't get tired at all! If it continues like this, we will lose the barrier!"
"That's true. It's also harder since he's covering all the planes with his barrier, which weakens him further. If he were only using the barrier in a small area, it would have been easy for him," John agreed.
"So, what shall we do?" he asked Andreas. "Should we still wait until we're inside the city? Or attack now?"
"I wanted to be inside the city before we started our assault, but it doesn't matter anymore. We're going out now. Tell the others to jump out. Instead of being one bigger Target, it's better for us to be spread out," Andreas agreed.
As he finished speaking, he jumped out of the plane. His beautiful white winds spread wide as he started flying.
Within seconds, the other Warlocks from the plane also jumped out.
Strangely, none of them had any parachutes, but still, they went down slowly as if they were as light as a feather.
It was also the ability of another Warlock who was casting it on a large scale.
Lucifer's attack continued on the plane while Duke attacked with his laser again, this time targeting the people who had jumped out of the plane.
The battle between lighting and the barrier continued. The barrier continued weakening, especially when Drake opened his eyes.
He also walked to the exit and jumped out.
Only after he jumped out did the barrier disappear. The lightning crashed on the plane.
Boom~
A loud explosion occurred as the plane blew up.?Its flaming pieces started falling down, crashing towards the wall of the Royal City because of its trajectory and close proximity to the wall.
Lucifer stopped his lightning and clenched his fist, bringing forth powerful wind tornadoes which stopped the flaming plane pieces from crashing on the wall.
The tornadoes took the rubble of the plane and flew back towards the Warlock Council members that were still in the plane.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that Drake didn't have to defend the entire plane with his barrier, he was freer. He sighed a breath of relief as he sighed.
After collecting a few breaths, he again prepared for battle, now having the opportunity to be more effective since he didn't have to spread his barrier too thin.
He raised his left hand towards the incoming beam of red energy, casting a barrier as the barrier was cast. This time, the barrier was concentrated in a small place. It was only two meters wide, but it stopped the laser attack.
It was also stronger. Unlike before, it didn't even flicker before the energy beam.
"Now, time to show them what we can do," Drake muttered as he landed on the ground.
He noticed a tornado filled with the plane pieces flying towards him. He shook his head and started walking towards the tornado alone. No one even bothered to stop him since they all had faith in Drake.
As for Andreas, he also stood with his arms folded, seemingly amused.
'It's so good to have Drake on my team. He has one of the strongest defenses that I have seen. In fact, he's also capable of becoming a Warlock Council leader with his skills.'
' Unfortunately, the Warlock Council focuses more on offensive skills and not defensive. Otherwise, Drake would have been in a higher position,' Andreas thought, watching Drake step ahead.
As Drake reached the Warlock Council planes, he casually clapped his hand, casting a barrier all around the tornado.
The barrier trapped the tornado from all sides and started closing in.
As the barriers closed in, the tornado kept becoming smaller and smaller before ultimately disappearing.
Drake shifted his gaze to Lucifer and started walking in his direction.
"Interesting," Lucifer muttered, smirking. "Yasmine, it looks like he would be a good opponent for your energy negation. Want to go play with him?"
"I wouldn't mind," Yasmine nodded.
"Good," Lucifer let out as he wrapped his hands around the soft waist of Yasmine and jumped down the wall.
