Chapter 809: Small thing

"He is someone who knows how to fight. He reminds me of another friend I used to have. He was also a brutal fighter who gave it his all when he started fighting."

"I think he can analyze what the opponent is about to do and make his response accordingly. Not only can he comprehend the actions that his opponents can take, but he can interrupt those."

"What do you mean?" Lucifer asked. "He can see the future?"

"I don't know if he can see the future or not, but I think there were moments when I felt like he was prepared for the upcoming attacks as if he read the mind of his opponents or saw it happen. I might be right, or I might be wrong, but I'm ninety percent sure I'm right."

"For example, he knew where that lady was about to appear behind her. He also knew when to interrupt that guy's Teleportation. I think he could see what was happening."

"Not only did he know what the others were going to do, but he also had everything to obstruct them. He could stop their teleportations as well as their other skills. I don't know how he did that."

"That's only what I could tell after looking at the videos. We could've received a more in depth analysis after scanning him properly. However, we can't take him to the ship."

"That would be against the laws and would be considered as us kidnapping people from this world. We can't do that unless these worlds join the alliance and sign the treaty."

"Just know that I know what I'm talking about. He knows what you're about to do before you do it. At least, most of the time, that's the case. As for how he does that, your guess is as good as mine. So you might need to be careful about this."

"You aren't allowed to interfere in the matters of this world. But if your Envoy is attacked by them, Will you be allowed to attack?" Lucifer asked Joana.

Joana shook his head in response. "The envoy is supposed to be strong enough to take care of such situations. That's why we only send strong envoys there," Joana explained.

"And if our intervention is needed, we would need permission from the headquarters before doing anything. So I literally can't do anything here other than recalling you back to the ship."

"That way, I can save your life. However, just know that if there ever comes a need when you're recalled to the ship, you would lose your envoy position."

"You might not come back to this place again. So I would hope that there never comes a need for that until you're done with everything here."

The video continued, showing the defeat of Milena and Arthur. The fight didn't even last that long before both of them were defeated.

"His sword is pretty strong as well. You should avoid it during the battles," Joana reminded Lucifer; however, Lucifer didn't look like he was listening.

His eyes stayed on the screen where Arthur was stabbed in the chest. Arthur coughed out a mouthful of blood as his body started falling down.

Even Milena looked tired, which was something that Lucifer found odd. Joana didn't know Milena enough to know her stamina, but Lucifer knew it. He knew that there was no way Milena was going to get tired from just this much.

She should've been able to fight for days without running out of stamina, but here she seemed like she was so tired she couldn't even raise her hand.

"That sword...." Lucifer muttered, frowning. "It steals their energy."

"What?"

"I said that the sword truly isn't an ordinary sword. It just isn't something that's sharp. It's also special in more ways. I think it's stealing their energy with each slice."

"You mean the sword makes the enemies tired?"

Lucifer nodded. "I've known Milena for quite some time. She has even more stamina than me sometimes. She couldn't get tired so easily. The only thing I've noticed so far is that she received too many wounds from the sword."

"That could be the only thing that made her tired. Even though her healing healed her, I think she already kept losing energy before the wounds healed. This guy is clever."

"He certainly is clever if what you say is true. He's also a hard enemy to defeat. He can predict your reactions," Joana agreed. "Are you sure you want to fight him?"

" He can stop your attacks and avoid them. Not only that, but he can also weaken the enemies. He's like a perfect all-rounder who covers all the fields properly."

"If you don't want to find him, I can talk to him. I can tell him about the Star Alliance and tell him that you're our Envoy and that he shouldn't attack you? However, that would mean you won't attack him either. Are you ready for it?"

"I'm not. I'm not going to let him live. I'm going to show him a hell worse than humans made up in their imagination."

Lucifer started rising in the air. He tossed the body of the man back.

"Then I won't be able to help you. You'll have to do things on your own." Joana sighed at Lucifer's response.

The sky was already covered in dark clouds, but the clouds only became darker. Soon, the entire city was covered in the clouds. The clouds didn't stop as they kept extending even outside the city.

"This isn't how I expected things to go," Joana said as he started rising in the air as well. He flew after Lucifer.

Lucifer and Joana landed before the Warlock Council headquarters, which was surrounded by a blood red energy barrier from all sides.

It was the first time Lucifer had seen this barrier. It wasn't there when he used to control the Warlock Council headquarters.

"Not bad at all. This barrier is pretty good. It's not close to what we have, but it's much better for this primitive world." Joana smiled, observing the barrier.

He took a step towards the barrier.

"Be careful. It can harm you." Lucifer reminded Joana, trying to stop him. "Let me destroy it first."

"Harm me? This small thing? I doubt it," Joana said, shaking his head.

He easily passed through the barrier as if it was nothing but air. He didn't face even the smallest resistance.

Curious, Lucifer also tried the same. However, it was different for him. As soon as he touched the barrier, an explosion took place right before his eyes. The explosion tossed him back.
