Chapter 648 - 648: No Control

"I'll do everything. Don't worry."

After Cassius kept his phone back, he noticed that everyone was looking at him.

Even Arthur had come back to see if Lucifer was back or not. 

"What happened? You look serious?" Arthur asked. "Who was on the call?"

"It was Kane from the Uprising lab. He said that Lucifer wasn't picking up the call, and his signal was coming from this building. I don't know what is happening, but he might be in danger. We need to find him!"

"Hmm? That's odd? I searched all the floors to find bodies. I couldn't find him anywhere?"

"Maybe you missed him? Whatever. We don't have time for answers. Andrim will be coming in ten minutes! We need to stop that first!"

"Alicia, you take Eve and search all the floors to find Lucifer or at least his glasses! Check every place thoroughly!" Cassius told Alicia before he disappeared with Arthur. 

Alicia also started feeling concerned about Lucifer, wondering if he was in danger. 

"Did everyone leave?" Eve came out of the bathroom, noticing that there was no one there except Alicia. 

...

Arthur took Cassius to Salazar and the others, informing them about the arrival of Andrim. He also had the direction where he was going to come from. 

"Alright. I don't think we'll be needing too many people to take care of one Andrim. Only the best of us shall go. Agreed?" Salazar asked. 

"Yeah."

"Good. So Arthur, Yaliza and I and Milena will go. Arthur and Milena will teleport us inside the chopper, where we'll take Andrim out. And if we can't, we'll come back. It'll be the turn of Cassius and Tristan to take the entire chopper out then. Alright?"

"And if somehow things don't work out, Jake, Dallas, and Amie will take care of the rest. Any questions?"

"There's one more time. I need the rest of you to go to the Warlock Council headquarters and search each floor. We came to know that Lucifer might be inside the building."

"We need to get this information to him. So as soon as you find him, tell him everything and tell him to come to us at the border!"

Seeing everyone agree, the plan was decided. The team which was selected flew to the southern side of the city to wait for the chopper. 

As for the rest, they went back to the headquarters in the city. according to the plan to find Lucifer. 

...

The search for Lucifer began. A small group of Warriors went to each floor to search all the floors at the same time and to save time. 

At the same time, Alicia and Eve had reached the twenty-fourth floor. They wondered if Lucifer was with the bodies that he had asked to be gathered. 

Unfortunately, despite searching every corner, they couldn't find Lucifer. 

In fact, it was someone else who found Lucifer. 

It was none other than Yasmine who found him. She was the woman who could use Energy Negation. She was also the one that was saved by Lucifer when she was trapped in the middle of the ground in the Divine Empire. 

Seeing Lucifer lying on the ground, she grew scared. She had always seen the invincible side of Lucifer. He didn't even fall to his knees even once before her, and now he was lying on the ground like a dead person. 

"D-d-did he die?" She hastily ran to Lucifer to check her nerves. 

"Fortunately, he is still breathing. But his body... It's heating up. He has a heavy fever! I-i need to take him to a safe place and inform others!"

She picked up Lucifer and ran to the lift. 

As she entered the lift, she noticed that Lucifer's breathing was really weak. His heartbeat was slow as well. She couldn't understand what was happening. She needed someone knowledgeable, but they were all body in the upcoming battle!

She hoped that she was going to find someone on the top floor. 

The lift went to the top floor. The door opened, and Yasmine stepped out. "Is anyone here?!"

Even though she yelled, there was no response, making her understand that she was alone!

She placed Lucifer on the bed in the closest room and covered his body with a blanket. Despite his high temperature, he was shivering. 

After being done, she ran around the room to find something. She couldn't find any medicines anywhere that she could recognize. And she couldn't feed him any unknown pill. 

She simply picked up a piece of clothes and tore it accordingly. 

She also brought a bowl filled with water before sitting beside Lucifer. 

She made the cloth a bit wet before placing it on the forehead of Lucifer to give him some relief. 

As soon as she placed the cloth on the forehead of Lucifer, his trembling increased only. 

Boom~

A barrier came out of Lucifer's body, pushing Yasmine aside, making her fall on the ground. 

The spherical barrier remained around Lucifer. 

"Subconscious reaction?" Yasmine said, rubbing her butt that was hurting after the fall. "I'm sorry, but this is for your own good."

She spread her arms, casting her Energy Negation to make the barrier of Lucifer useless. After finishing, she stepped closer to Lucifer and once again did the same. She wanted to get his temperature in control first. 

As Yasmine again placed the wet cloth on the forehead of Lucifer, he again started shivering. 

Unfortunately, his barrier couldn't do anything. 

Roar~

The sky roared madly as if scolding the person who was making Lucifer feel uncomfortable. 

Boom~

A thick lightning bolt fell on the Warlock Council headquarters, but it couldn't penetrate the protection. 

"Hmm?" In the distance, Milena was standing at the border, waiting for the chopper, when she noticed the lighting bolt. 

"This is his lightning. So he's certainly there. But what is he doing? Why is he making lightning fall there?"

Even Cassius was confused. What was Lucifer doing? And why wasn't he picking up the call?

The phenomenon didn't stop after one bolt. Instead, it intensified as if angered even more. 

The clouds spread far and wide, covering the entire city. The lightning bolts started falling everywhere, not discriminating at all. They just wanted to ruthlessly destroy everything. 

At the same time, the bolts continued falling on the building. 

"Something is really wrong. I don't think Lucifer would attack the entire city after we have won. Something is really wrong!" Seeing the entire city being attacked, even Salazar felt that something was wrong. 

He looked at Cassius. "We need to find him at any cost and understand what's going on!"

"The chopper is here.. Let's take Andrim out before doing anything else," Arthur commented, pointing towards the incoming chopper.
