Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 529 - 529: Magic Trick

Kellian stepped inside the helicopter and informed the pilot that it was time to leave.

Behind him, the other team members also stepped inside, still stunned that they had to leave in such disgrace, but most of them understood that if Kellian was saying that, there must be something to it.

Most of them took their seats while one woman stood near the door.

She didn't even need to talk to Kellian to know what was her responsibility. Her eyes turned bright white as she started using her powers. A white mist started spreading everywhere, covering the entire area within seconds.

It spread far and wide, bringing visibility down to zero.

"We're ready to take off. So where should we go?" The Pilot glanced at Kellian.

"Get us out of Elisium. We need time, and it's better to not stay in Elisium for the moment as we do it."

"Roger."

The pilot got into action mode. The rotors of the plane started moving.

"May I suggest Triton? That place is pretty good for hiding?" A calm voice filled the helicopter, which had just started rising a few seconds above the ground.

Tristan looked to the side to find a man standing there with a smile on his face as if he was just enjoying the show.

On the man's shoulder rested a crystal snake comfortably. On his left hand was a small black cat.

"Why are you all looking at me like you don't recognize me? Ah, how silly of me. I didn't introduce myself to you in the first place."

"I am known as Zhu by my colleagues. I am the person leading the Warlock Council against you. So I thought it would be better to tell you my name before killing you all."

"Kellian already met me in the first place. I'm not sure why he ran so fast without answering me. I also came to get my answer. If one of you can prove his abilities, I'll also extend the same offer to him. If you can't, then you better die."

Tristan stood up, gripping the hilt of his Sword.

"That reminds me. We won't be taking off. The weather is better outside. So how about we enjoy it there?"

Space started changing along with the surroundings. One moment everyone was standing inside the helicopter; the next moment, they were inside the Warlock Council Plane, surrounded by all the Warlocks.

Tristan prepared to attack, but the space changed once again as everyone found themselves standing in the group, still surrounded by the Warlock Council members.

"Enough playing!" Tristan raged as he pulled his katana out thrice in quick succession, firing energy blades at Zhu.

Zhu smirked as he tapped the head of the cat in his hand.

Purr~

Following the noise of the cat, Zhu disappeared from where he was standing. Instead, an Uprising Member appeared in his place. On the other hand, he appeared in the position of the Warlock Council members.

The attack that was supposed to land on Zhu landed on an Uprising member instead.

"Aww, why are you killing your own team member? Proving your loyalty to me! Not bad. Unfortunately, your abilities aren't that impressive. You're nothing but a brute," Zhu commented.

"Y-"

"Tristan, don't attack again. Can't you see? He's manipulating you by intentionally making you upset. He's just toying with you," Kellian declared. "If he wanted to protect himself from that attack, he didn't need to dodge. But he's playing here."

"Hahaha, you're clever as well. It's fun to play around a bit. But don't stop them from entertaining me," Zhu answered.

He further continued. "Because the moment I stop being entertained is the moment your team members will die. Don't you want to see them alive instead?"

Lucifer was flying towards the town as fast as he could. He was able to hear the conversation taking place between Zhu and Kellian as well, through the earpiece of his as Kellian was still connected to him.

"So it can't only teleport itself, but it can also help you teleport and manipulate the space around you. With that, you can switch positions with others or make any person you want appear in a different place? You're like the god of the battlefield," Kellian said, trying to get the information to Lucifer.

The wind kept brushing against Lucifer's lips as he flew at his fastest speed. "Another teleporting mess? Why is everyone spawning with this messy ability? That summoner..."

There was only Salazar beside him as he had already dropped Caen to a safe place. Caen wasn't a fighter, so he couldn't leave him on the plane with Milena, but he couldn't take him either, so he left him in a small town along the way where he could stay safe from the battle.

The roaring sound of a fighter jet fell in Lucifer's ears, drowning the sound of Zhu's reply.

A fighter jet was coming from the distance, straight towards Lucifer.

"The fifth plane. It must have that annoying shield too," Lucifer muttered, sighing.

"Doesn't matter." He sped up in the direction of the fighter jet while taking off his gloves.

As the fighter pilot saw a person flying towards him, he realized that it was another enemy. He started firing bullets towards Lucifer, who was flying towards him.

A powerful barrier appeared before Lucifer, taking care of all the bullets until Lucifer reached the plane.

The formation activated, but instead of being afraid, Lucifer placed his palm on the formation as he started pushing back.

The plane that was going as fast as it could slowed down a lot at such a fast speed, warning sounds started resounding in the pilot's ears.

The Sword formation wasn't destroyed by Lucifer, who simply let his decay take care of the formation. As soon as the formation was close to breaking, he used his left hand to fire the bolt.

In the small fraction of a second, when the first formation was broken and before the second could be active, the lightning bolt managed to pass through, shattering the reinforced glass of the jet, which was bulletproof but still unable to defend against the attack of such magnitude.

The light in the pilot's eyes dimmed as his head weakly fell ahead.

Lucifer released the plane and let it race ahead. The trajectory of the plane was downwards, and the elevation kept decreasing with each passing second until the plane actually crashed on the ground.

He once again races ahead to the town with Cassius.

"Sigh, you guys are no fun.. If you don't make it fun, I'll make it fun myself," Zhu smiled innocently as he looked at the lady in the back.
