Chapter 440: Taken out

Milena pushed ahead, forcing Lucifer as well. 

The two of them were towards a nearby building, looking like Milena was going to smash Lucifer on the building. 

Unfortunately for her, Lucifer also used his wind, stopping just a few inches away from the wall. He turned his body around, making sure that Milena's back faced the building before he pushed back. 

The walls of the building broke as Milena's back smashed the walls. The two of them entered the building, but they didn't stop there. 

Instead, Lucifer continued pushing back, breaking even more walls while using Milena as a shield. At the same time, he continued holding Milena's hand, which was inside his chest.

Milena was still holding into the crushed heart of Lucifer, which had started healing. 

Seeing Lucifer's heart growing in her hand, Milena grew surprised, understanding that he probably had healing too; moreover, his healing was even stronger from what it seemed. 

Milena continued getting older as wrinkles developed on her face. Her healing was the only thing that had kept her from turning into ash, but even that was being chipped slowly.

One of Milena's hands was sliced while her other hand was unavailable. She couldn't teleport, and she couldn't use any other offensive attacks as they all needed for her to use her hands. 

All of her offensive attacks were like that, which proved to be a bane for her now that she didn't have a hand. 

Lucifer had Milena in his grasp, and he wasn't going to leave her. Unfortunately, out of nowhere, a blinding flash of red light appeared. It appeared only a few inches away from his neck. 

As soon as he realized what was happening, he cast a barrier around his neck while at the same time bringing his hand to stop the attack. 

Unfortunately, the red arc not only passed through his barrier, but it also sliced his hand before the red arc of light sliced through his neck.

The world started turning upside down, but that wasn't the case. Instead, it was his head that was turning upside down, rolling off. It soon fell off his body, falling down, along with his sliced palm. 

Caen noticed Lucifer's head fall, getting stunned. Did this imply that the battle was lost? Or could he heal from this? Many questions remained in his head, but that's when he saw something even more shocking. 

The white-haired man appeared near Lucifer. As for that red arc of light, it seemed to be a light trail coming from his knife, which he had used to slice the head of Lucifer. 

His ability to go invisible allowed him to get close to Lucifer without letting him realize it. 

"Invisibility, huh. So that's what's special about him. Not bad," In the background, Arthur nodded. Finally, he had an idea as to what ability Sirius had. 

But that wasn't all Sirius was also flying. There seemed to be more to him. 

After taking Lucifer's head off, he sliced his other hand, which was holding Milena's hand, helping free Milena. 

As Milena's hands came out of Lucifer's chest, he started dropping to the ground as well.

Sirius looked at Milena; getting close to her, he whispered something in her ears again. Milena nodded. 

The two of them looked down at Lucifer's body which was going through a strange transformation even now. Something odd was happening as bones started growing out of his neck, forming a skull. 

"He is still healing. His healing is very powerful," Milena muttered, frowning. "I can't turn him even now though. With his healing, it seems impossible."

Milena said it was impossible, but Sirius had other thoughts in mind. He went down, placing his hand on the chest of Lucifer, who was still going through the healing process. 

Even Sirius didn't know that the strange pattern in Lucifer's back had started changing shape. As for the red stone which was inside the pocket of Lucifer, it started melting as its essence passed through his body, going to the strange tattoo on his back. 

The body of Sirius started shining, and so did Lucifer's body. The two of them started shining in a mysterious white light. Soon, Sirius took off his hands, looking in a certain direction towards the sky. 

...

In the sky, a person was standing, watching everything. The person was dressed in black, and a blindfold was wrapped around his eyes, but still, he was able to see everything. 

The person was none other than Predictor, who grew surprised, watching Sirius look at him. 

He was here in his dreams, so it was odd that someone was able to see him. Not only did Sirius see him, but he even flew up, grabbed Predictor by the throat.

On the ground, Lucifer's body was still going through a strange phase as a strange formation started appearing under him, which was the same as the tattoo on his back.

The same formation appeared in the sky as well. Lucifer's body started floating in the sky slowly, stopping when it was in the middle of the two formations.

The stone which was in the neck of Milena also flew away, landing on the forehead of Lucifer, being absorbed by him. That energy ultimately ended up in the tattoo on his back as two more formations appeared, one on Lucifer's left while the other on his right. 

In the sky, Sirius grabbed Predictor by the throat and crushed his throat. 

"Haah!"

Predictor suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself on the bed. 

His entire body was covered in sweat, including his clothes. As for his heart, it was thumping madly. 

"Just what was that? A prediction? It can't be. In Prediction, no one can see me. So a dream? But it seemed too realistic to be a dream. I need to inform him," Predictor got off the bed, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

...

"Excuse me, I'm getting a call," Kellian informed Jia and Jenilia as his phone started ringing. 

He was still sitting in the meeting with the two of them. 

"Yeah?" He asked, picking up the call. 

The calm and confident expressions of Kellian soon disappeared as he became serious. 

"Are you sure?" He asked, frowning. 

"Alright. I'll send you the number you can contact him on," Kellian replied. "In the meantime, I'll also try contacting him."

He put the phone down and sent the number to Predictor, who had just called him. 

"Can you two wait outside? Something urgent has come up. Give me a few minutes," he informed Jia. "Dallas, take them outside and show them the city."
