Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 497 - 497: You're Mine!



"Oh, I should remind you something too. Only I can take off that bracelet. If I'm hurt, Milena will die too, despite her healing. And if you tried taking off the bracelet yourself, she would still die. So you better listen to me instead. Your Queen's life is in my hands," Lucifer reminded everyone. 

"At the moment, she's just unconscious. She isn't hurt. But if I want, that unconsciousness can turn to eternal sleep," he continued. 

"Take care of Her Majesty," Arthur told Feronia, handing Milena to Feronia. 

He turned to look at Lucifer. "Is this your way of getting back at us for what Sirius did to you? Even after Her Majesty apologized?"

"What do you think?" Lucifer asked, smirking. 

He stretched his arms, yawning. He waved his hand, making a distance chair fly to him. 

The Chair landed before him. He walked around the chair and sat on it with one leg resting on the other, facing Milena and the others. 

"Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm still upset because of what happened to me in the Empire, and I want revenge? Or maybe that has nothing to do with it? Who knows. You can select any reason." 

"Whatever reason you select, it won't change the truth. The truth is that Milena's life depends on my life. And it's also the truth that you people will need my help in taking out the Warlock Council."

"It's also the truth that I'm willing to help you in this battle. And all I ask for is that Milena stays out of the battle, letting me take the lead. Why are you all upset about it?"

"As long as Milena doesn't try to take out the bracelet and doesn't use her powers, she is perfectly safe. In fact, you can still treat her as your queen and keep her safe. Moreover, don't you agree that it's better if she stays out of the battles?"

"If she takes part in the battles and dies, you'll all die too. So you should be happy with my decision to keep her out as that keeps you safe?" Lucifer asked.

"This?" 

"What?"

All the Noble Lords were shocked at Lucifer's words.

"What happened? Are you shocked why I heard it? Let's just say a beautiful rainbow bird told me," Lucifer said lazily. Even though he didn't glance at Arthur, Arthur understood who Lucifer was talking about. 

He accidentally implied something similar to it last time they were flying in the sky, but he stopped mid-way and started talking about birds to change the topic. Who knew that Lucifer was going to guess. 

"Your reactions just go on to confirm my theory. So in a way, your life depends on me too. As I said, my death will mean Milena's death. And her death will mean your death. What an incredible death chain," Lucifer let out, laughing. 

"It's better than anything I could have asked for. So, who wants to attack me now? Go ahead. I won't use any defense," he added, amused. 

He couldn't have asked for any better leverage. 

Even though he was lying about the fact that his death was going to mean Milena's death, he was sure no one was going to take the risk. 

Milena already took the risk by trying to take off the bracelet, thinking he was lying. The outcome was in front of everyone now. No one was going to risk their lives to test it. If they were wrong, all the Nobles were going to die. 

"What will you take to free Her Majesty?" Arthur asked. 

"Free her? What do you mean? I don't have her imprisoned? Don't you already have her in your hands?" Lucifer asked, amused. 

"Anyway, I'll talk about the rest of the terms with Milena when she wakes up. For now, you should focus on keeping her out of the battle. And focus on the battle against the Warlock Council," he continued. 

"The lives of all of you are in my hands. So effectively, I'm the ruler of the Divine Empire. If anyone has a problem, they can raise their hands."

No one raised their hands. It had no benefit. Lucifer was right. All their lives were in his hands since he controlled Milena's life. 

"That's good. So, as the Emperor, I declare that no one shall be allowed to harm the Empire. Even if it's the Warlock Council! Who is going to give me the update? How far are the Warlock Council planes from this city?" Lucifer asked. 

One of the High Nobles checked their device. "Ten more minutes before they'll be in the airspace of the city."

"Good. Let's welcome the enemies," Lucifer said, standing up. "Feronia, you stay here with Milena. And tell her everything when she wakes up. Keep her out of the battle and harm's way."

"As for the others, you follow me!"

Lucifer flew up, leaving the same way he came. 

The other Nobles sighed but ultimately followed behind Lucifer. 

Arthur also glanced at Milena one last time before he also flew after Lucifer. 

Everyone flew after Lucifer, who hadn't gone far before he went down. 

Lucifer noticed Salazar on the ground. He was with another man. 

'These idiots. I told them to run away. Not to wait for me! But they are still nearby.'

He landed before Salazar and Caen. 

Seeing the Nobles behind Lucifer, they thought that Lucifer was being chased. 

"What happened? Was Milena too powerful?" Salazar asked as he prepared for battle. 

"Nonsense. I already control Milena now. Moreover, I took over the Divine Empire," Lucifer replied. 

Behind him, the Nobles landed. They didn't attack. 

Salazar's jaws dropped. What did he mean he took over the Empire? How did it become so easy suddenly? Just what happened?

As far as he could see, only one time lightning fell from the sky since he had left. How did this one attack bring the Divine Empire down to their knees?

Since when did it become so easy? 

Even Caen was surprised. Just what magic did he use? He had thought that it was going to be hard to take over the Divine Empire, especially after finding out what happened in the Prediction of Predictor. 

In any case, it was going to be harder than the takeover of Elisium since there were only three of them here. So how was it that it was easier instead?

Ten minutes! Only ten minutes had passed since Lucifer's arrival, and he changed everything. Was it even possible to break the record of this ten minutes?

"Why are you two looking at me like that?" Lucifer asked, rolling his eyes. "Anyway, I don't have time to explain. I'm going to take out the Warlock Council.. You guys go back inside the Palace and keep Milena safe."
