Chapter 438: Odd Noble

The seed of conflict had already started taking shape between the Warlock Council and Uprising, having the potential to destroy many lives in its path. Still, neither the Uprising nor the Warlock Council cared for the consequences. 

The Warlock Council was confident in its strength. They believed they could take out any nation, especially a weak nation like Elisium, which was further weakened by the last war. 

On the other hand, Uprising was also at the height of their confidence, not caring about who stood before them. It didn't matter if the Warlock Council came against them since they had faith that they could take on the Warlock Council with the support of Lucifer. 

Far away from the new conflict which was taking shape, Lucifer found himself caught in a different conflict of his own, which was much more severe. 

Salazar was killed, and now he was facing Milena, surrounded by all the Noble Lords who haven't involved themselves in the conflict since Milena took the lead herself. 

Lucifer found himself trapped in the enemy territory alone, facing an enemy who possessed hundreds of powerful abilities that she absorbed from the Warlocks she turned. 

Despite all the odds being against him, Lucifer didn't back off. He knew he could escape if he wanted to, but he didn't. He didn't desire to run in the face of adversities.

Instead, he decided to give it his all. He decided to go all out. 

A pitch-black lightning armor formed on his chest and shoulder. A black lightning gauntlet also appeared on his hands. 

Under all the lifting, the black cloak was providing him additional defense. 

"Lightning armor, huh. That's a cool ability. I wonder why he didn't use it before," standing in the back, Arthur commented. He still hadn't understood why Lucifer made him choose a finger. Instead, he was more curious about what was happening. 

A flash of lightning was left in the wake of Lucifer as he finally moved, appearing near Milena instantly, before she could even blink her eyes. 

Milena teleported again, watching Lucifer's claws coming towards her neck. She appeared ten meters away from him, only to grow shocked as she saw a powerful lightning bolt fall from the sky in her direction. 

Even though she was behind Lucifer, the lighting bolt fell from the sky as if Lucifer had eyes in the back as well.

That wasn't the only bolt though, as many more fell all around the city, not just near Lucifer, but all over the city. 

...

In a bar inside the Royal City, some nobles were drinking blood from humans, enjoying their free time when a lightning bolt fell on top of the building, bringing it crashing down. 

So far, it was only lightning without any rain, but even rain arrived soon enough, showering the entire city with its cold droplets. 

Boom!

An explosion took place in the city as the lightning bolt fell on the energy station, which provided electricity to the entire city. 

The night itself was dark, but the destruction of the power station brought power cuts, turning all the lights of the houses off. The entire city was covered in a veil of darkness as if nothing existed here. 

The civilians were scared to step out of the houses, seeing the lightning fall outside, but they were also afraid to stay inside the house since lightning could fall on their homes too. They just kept praying to God that the lightning wouldn't fall on their houses. 

In the drenching rain, Caen walked towards the Royal Palace, changing his looks. Instead of looking like the winged Warlock Council leader, he now looked like a civilian of the Royal City. He wanted to see what was happening with the plan. 

Fortunately, he had only walked for over ten minutes outside the Palace when he saw a lightning bolt fall on top of the Place where he was staying. 

Seeing the palace being attacked by the lightning, Caen sighed a breath of relief, realizing how close he was to Death. If he hadn't left the Palace, he would have died inside. 

"Heath should be dead too. Now we don't have any pilots, it seems. Hopefully, things aren't as bad as I imagine them to be," Caen muttered, stepping closer to the Royal Palace. 

His long robe brushed against the puddles of water as he walked through the streets that had started being covered in water slowly. 

"Hey, you! Where are you going! The palace is under attack along with the entire city! It's not safe to walk out of the house. Stay inside!" 

"Who?" Caen asked, looking around as he heard a man's voice. 

Looking around, he soon found who had spoken. It was a young man who was standing inside his house. He was talking to Caen through the window, suggesting that he go back and not put his life at risk.

Caen opened his lips to respond when he saw lightning flash before his eyes. A lightning bolt fell on top of the house, destroying the entire building, bringing it down. 

Caen scratched the back of his head, shaking his head. "As if staying inside is any safer."

...

As the lightning fall intensified, even the Nobles near the battle of Lucifer started getting concerned as they dodged the lightning. 

Instead of worrying about the battle, they were worried about the lightning falling on them. Most of them kept their focus on the sky instead of the Battle to protect themselves. 

As the lightning fell, some dodged it, while others cast their barriers to protect themselves. Unfortunately, no barrier was able to stop the lightning. 

The ones who dodged the attack survived, while the ones that opted for the barrier protection were caught by the lightning, which killed them instantly. 

Just like that, thirty more Nobles had died in one minute. 

"Don't use barriers! That lightning is strong! Just keep dodging!" Arthur reminded the Nobles, who seemed to be helpless. 

Only the Noble Lords were safer as they avoided the lightning safely. 

There was only one person who hadn't moved at all amongst all the nobles. It was Sirius who stood with his arms folded, not concerned about lightning falling on him. Instead, his focus remained on the battle of Milena against Lucifer. 

So far, no lightning had fallen on him either. 

Arthur also observed this odd phenomenon. Why wasn't any Lightning falling on Sirius? He was always curious about the identity of Sirius and what was so special about him. 

So far, no one even knew the abilities of Sirius, but he did seem impressive with the way he handled himself.
