Chapter 533 - 533: Why?

As soon as he said that, he disappeared and appeared ten steps back. 

He looked at one of his teammates and tried again. He also teleported.

"Strange. It works on him. It works on me. Then why didn't it work on the guy? Try again!"

The cat tried again, shaking her head in the end. It wasn't working. 

Lucifer stood cross-armed as he watched the confusion on the face of Zhu. 

He already knew that Zhu was going to take a long time to understand it. 

Lucifer was using Energy Negation. And he was using it all around him. All the Uprising Members were covered in it. And Space Energy didn't work in this field. 

The only time Teleportation worked in the Energy Negation field was when the Warlock was using it on himself. Zhu could Teleport in and out of the area, but he couldn't send anyone outside the field who was standing inside. It was impossible unless the person using the Teleportation was holding that person. 

He got to learn such secrets of space from Arthur when he was leading them in the War. 

Even though he wasn't entirely sure if this would be the same, he was still mostly sure. And it looked like it was working. 

Zhu tried to use the Teleportation on another Uprising Member, but nothing happened. 

"So it's your doing! How are you stopping it?" 

"One minute is over," Lucifer declared.

"This, fine. I'll kill him personally," Zhu muttered as he sat on his knees. He started drawing another circle. 

"You can't let him finish! He's Summoning another beast!" Kellian warned Lucifer.

"It's alright. I want to see what beast he can summon," Lucifer responded, not interfering. He had a plan for the beast. And he was sure that the beast was going to be some attack type beast this time. "But that doesn't mean I can't have some fun."

He tapped his feet lightly on the ground. Following his tap, the earth started shaking. The ground where Zhu was drawing also changed as a bone came out of the ground. Another one came, followed by one more. Soon, there were five bones which soon revealed to be giant skeleton fingers as the hand also came out. 

Zhu teleported ten steps back, avoiding being caught. 

"This Skelton? I think I saw it before," Zhu muttered. "Isn't that the same skeleton that is used by one of our Warlocks? He was sent to the Divine Empire. It's fascinating. He possesses the same ability?"

Another skeleton hand came out of the ground, followed by a skeleton hand. Soon, the giant skeleton was completely out of the ground, facing Zhu. 

"John, handle the skeleton. I don't have time," Zhu lazily said as he disappeared. It was unclear where he had gone, but he wasn't visible.

"Did he run?" Tristan asked, frowning. 

"He went to a safe place to finish his Summoning Circle. Should I try to find him?" Kellian took a step forward. 

"No need. You stay here. In the meanwhile, I'll take care of the rest."

Stretching his arms, he stepped forward. 

As Zhu had disappeared, there was no one to command them. The Warlock Council grew impatient as they watched Lucifer step to them. 

They decided to take everything into their own hands as they ran towards Lucifer. 

A Black robed man stepped forward, smirking. "You are too arrogant."

A small cloud appeared above Lucifer, which wasn't as high as the dark clouds. It was only two meters wide, but it was able to cover him entirely in its shadow. 

"Blood Rain!" He called out.

Red droplets started falling from the cloud that appeared to be blood. 

A shield appeared above Lucifer, and the same appeared around all the Uprising members just to be sure. 

The blood kept falling on the shield, unable to penetrate but the droplets that fell on the ground made Lucifer understand what this rain was. 

"It is called Blood Rain, but it's no less than Acid Rain, isn't it? With just that, you called me arrogant? It seems you have some problem of arrogance. Let me show you what true arrogance is," Lucifer grimly declared. "And what true clouds can do."

Boom~

A Black lightning bolt fell from the sky. The dark-haired man tried to dodge the bolt as he saw it coming straight for him; however, he couldn't run Anusha. 

The barrier of Lucifer had appeared all around him, trapping him in the middle, unable to let him move. Only his head was out of the barrier, and that's also where the bolt fell. 

The black bolt fell on his head, impaling his body. His painful scream echoed in the ears of all the Warlock Council members before it went silent, scaring them as well.

"Pretty good barrier. It takes care of the flaws," Lucifer muttered, amused. 

He had used the lightning before. Most of the time, he was able to kill the enemy, but there were times when even they were able to avoid it. However, the barrier worked well to trap them. 

Lucifer shifted his gaze at the others. More barriers appear around the others, but even letting them move. Black lightning bolts kept falling from the sky, killing the Warlocks that were left. 

Most of them cast a barrier of their own above their heads, but their barrier was nowhere as strong as the barrier of Derek, which could resist lightning. The barriers shattered like a glass window that faced a stone thrown towards it.

The lightning bolt fell on the heads of all the Warlock Council members, leaving only one. 

Lucifer glanced at the only remaining person who was also trapped in the barrier. 

"We meet again, don't we?" he asked Jenilia. 

"So you lied to me that you were a businessman?"

"That wasn't a lie. I'm a businessman." Lucifer spread his arms. "And this is my business."

"You can't blame me for this. I didn't go to the Warlock Council to attack. You all came to our home. So don't blame us."

"Why even justify yourself? Go ahead and kill me. That's all your Dark Warlocks are good at. First, you killed my brother and now everyone else. Go ahead and kill me too!"

"Your brother? Which one of these was your brother?" Lucifer asked, amused. 

He was surprised that Jenilia didn't yell when her brother was killed here. 

"Not here! He was coming to Elisium! You people blew his plane so you could start this war! I don't think no one would know! We checked the flight proofs. There was one from Elisium that came with just one passenger!"

Lucifer understood which person she was talking about. Kellian had told him. But he couldn't accept it. 

"That's a false accusation.. Why would we kill your brother? Do we even need to wage war? And why should we kill them in another city? If we wanted war, shouldn't we kill him in Elisium? What nonsense."
