Chapter 432: Plan gone wrong

Even though the sleeping pills had failed, he believed that this wasn't going to fail. He and the enemies were inside the barrier, and now none of them could leave before time was up. And that time was enough for him to take out the enemies. 

He kept the gun back and took off his gloves. 

"A barrier? Hah, you idiot. You trapped yourself inside with us? Did you really think we'll be looking to run? You should've cast it around yourself. And why are you taking off the gloves? Keep wearing them. It won't matter when you're dead anyway," The blue-flamed Noble said, smiling. 

He didn't take the barrier seriously. 

Lucifer didn't respond and kept the gloves in his pocket. At the same time, he also took off the glasses and kept them in his pockets. 

After keeping everything in his pockets, he finally glanced at the two Nobles. 

"Since I don't have much time, come together," he told the Nobles as he stepped towards them. 

"Too arrogant!" The blue-flamed Noble said, raising his hand. He fired another wave of his scorching flames towards Lucifer, who didn't avoid the fire. 

Instead, he simply made a cross before his face, protecting it. As for the rest, it was handled by his cloak, which not only protected him from the flames but also absorbed energy in the meanwhile. 

The energy orbs inside the cloak started charging as well. 

"N-nothing is happening to him! His cloak should be special! It's not burning!" The Dark-Flamed Noble reminded his brother. 

"I see that too. It won't last for long. In any case, I'll take care of him. Even before the others come here, this guy would be dead," the Blue-flamed Noble let out, not taking it seriously. 

Just as he had expected, the Nobles that were guarding other sides of the Palace had also noticed the light from his flames. All the Nobles from the Palace were running towards them. 

Some of them entered the Palace to inform others about the intruders. 

"I guess it's going to be a large-scale war tonight itself. There goes the plans of taking things lightly," Salazar muttered, smiling wryly. 

They wanted to enter silently, but things went south. It was as if they had really messed up this time. 

Lucifer increased his speed, appearing in front of the Blue Haired man, reaching out his hand to grab the neck of the blue-haired man, but he also realized that there was nothing that could be grabbed by him. 

Something was really odd there. It was as if they didn't have a tangible body now. 

"Now you know how futile your efforts are?" The Blue-flamed Noble asked, laughing. 

At the same time, he grabbed Lucifer's neck. "You can't touch me while I can."

"Wait, something is wrong. What's happening?! What are you doing?! Tell me what you are doing! Why is my body growing weak?"

The man's arrogance started decreasing as he felt something odd. His body was getting weaker, and so were his flames. It was as if something was absorbing all the strength of his flames, stealing them. 

"You're doing it!" He exclaimed, realizing that Lucifer's hand was still inside his body. He flew back, running away, but Lucifer didn't leave him. 

Lucifer followed the man, keeping his hand inside the man's chest. As they were inside the barrier, there was no place to run to. 

"Get away from me! Leave me this instant!" The blue-flamed Noble roared, unable to shake off Lucifer no matter what he tried. 

"Let me feast. I'm still not full," Lucifer answered, not letting the man leave. His hand was already no more than a skeleton inside the flaming body of the Noble, but he didn't care. 

"Argh! You bastard! Leave me!" 

The Noble kept screaming, but his voice grew weaker as his body slowly disappeared. Soon, only a speck of light was left of him. 

This time, however, Lucifer didn't kill the man. Instead, he tested a theory. He grabbed the speck or fire inside his fist and stabbed his fist in his own chest, letting it decay inside his body.

He wanted to test if his body could do the same trick as it did last time. After destroying the speck of flame inside his body, he retracted his hand, letting his chest heal. 

His body absorbed the flame. Once again, he felt like his body was being filled with energy as an energetic feeling filled him up. 

He raised his hand, observing it carefully. After a little more focus, he was able to cast the skill as well, creating a ball of blue flames on his hand. 

"Amazing. Just as I expected," Lucifer muttered, smirking. This was the second power he had stolen. 

Since the blue-haired man had turned to flames, this fire was his body, which was the same as what he did last time. He decayed the flame body inside his own body. The only difference was that it wasn't a beast this time. 

Seeing his brother die tragically, the Dark-Flamed Noble started getting concerned for his life. Just as his brother had proven, their Flames were useless in front of Lucifer. At the same time, he had something which could kill them even in this form. 

He didn't want to die like his brother did. He tried to stay away from Lucifer since he knew that if he fought in close range, he'd end up getting caught like his brother. Unfortunately, he was inside the barrier, which had limited space. 

"I need to break this thing!" The Dark-Flamed Noble declared as he started punching the barrier, but it wasn't something that could be broken from inside. 

It could only be broken from the outside and not from the inside. 

"It won't break like that," Lucifer told the dark-flamed noble appearing behind him. 

The Noble turned back to find Lucifer standing before him. He couldn't even speak before Lucifer's hand entered his chest. Unlike before, his hand didn't burn this time though. 

...

"Your Majesty, someone has attacked the Royal Palace!" 

"Who dares?"

"Those guests from the Warlock Council are here. They tried to infiltrate the Palace, but they were discovered, and now they're fighting against our guards!"

The news of the Palace being attacked had spread inside. All the Noble Lords woke up from their slumber, running outside. Even Milena was informed about what was happening. 

She donned her black robe before she left as well. 

...

Lucifer finished the Black-Flamed Noble, whose screams went silent as he dropped to the ground. 

Finishing the enemy, Lucifer looked around, shaking his head. He could see hundreds of Nobles surrounding them. Even Salazar was standing near him by now.
