Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 439 - 439: Caught

"Why isn’t any bolt falling on him?" Arthur asked, frowning. However, just as he said it, a bolt did call on Sirius.

Sirius didn’t take his eyes off the battle of Milena. He didn’t try to avoid that bolt either. Instead, he simply raised his hand, casting a blue barrier around him.

So far, no barrier had succeeded in stopping a lightning bolt. Even the energy barriers of Noble Lords had failed. Arthur believed Sirius would fail too. And he would die, but that didn’t happen.

"Hmm?"

The lightning bolt fell on Sirius’s barrier, but it wasn’t able to break it. This was the first time Arthur saw the lightning fail to break a barrier..

"His Barrier... Is powerful. Even more powerful than mine. Very interesting," Arthur muttered, smirking.

Sirius finally took off his eyes from the battle and looked in a different direction. He straight looked at Arthur, who was observing him. After taking a subtle glance, he focused back on the battle.

The battle between Milena and Lucifer was only intensifying in the sky as the figure of both of them kept flickering all around the city, fighting.

Milena’s teleportation was creating the most problem for Lucifer though. No matter how many times he got close to her, she teleported away as if she was toying with him.

He didn’t let her escape though. Lightning kept calling everywhere, where she appeared, not giving her the room to breathe either.

It was odd for all the Noble Lords to watch though. Why wasn’t Milena attacking? Why was she only dodging? Was she trying to mess with Lucifer before finishing him off?

Caen reached the battleground and also noticed Lucifer in the sky, fighting against Milena. Instead of a fight, it seemed more like a chase where Milena was running away, and Lucifer was chasing n

"Wind, claws, and lighting. It seems like you only have these three powers. If there’s anything else, show me," Milena told Lucifer, appearing behind him.

"If that’s all, I think I can finish you now. I thought you’d have some unique ability that might force me to make you a Noble to get your abilities, but you’re not anything special. I’m disappointed," she soon added, sighing.

She raised both her hands, creating thousands of Clones of her, all around Lucifer. All the Clones surrounded him, and they all attacked at the same time, but only one of the attacks was real. Most others were illusions.

As for which attack was real, it was impossible to guess.

Lucifer shot towards the sky, dodging all the attacks. He gave up on the ordinary forms of battle, deciding to use the skill that Raia had told him about. Raia warned him not to use that skill until he had really mastered it, but he didn’t care at this point.

Then again, before he could do anything, Milena again teleported behind him, stabbing her right hand in the back of Lucifer’s chest. Her right hand had changed into sharp claws, which easily penetrated the back of Lucifer, shredding through his letting Armor while also tearing his cloak.

Milena grabbed the heart of Lucifer from the back, but before she could pull out, Lucifer also stabbed his own chest. He grabbed the hand of Milena which was holding his heart

A chain was made inside Lucifer’s body. His hand from the front led to his heart, and Milena’s hands led to his heart from the back, finishing the chain.

Lucifer’s decay started taking effect as he grabbed the hand of Milena.

"Huh?" Milena’s face turned pale as she felt a pain like never before.

She couldn’t understand why she was feeling this path. She had all the abilities of her Nobles, and one such ability was pain resistance.

She also had abilities related to strong body defense, which was why she wasn’t affected by wind blades, but for some reason, she was feeling pain. And it wasn’t any ordinary pain. It was as if her body was breaking apart, slowly, from inside out.

She started growing older as her skin started decaying slowly. She tried to teleport away to save her, realizing that it was because Lucifer had touched her.

She understood it was because of his touch. It was some ability of his which she didn’t know about. Something he kept a secret so far, probably waiting for her to get close.

Despite her attempts to teleport away, she wasn’t succeeding. She couldn’t teleport back, no matter how much she tried.

Something was blocking her abilities. It was as if she couldn’t teleport because her body was constantly changing form because of Decay.

"Free my hand before I crush your heart!" Milena warned Lucifer.

"Go ahead," Lucifer said grimly, without looking back.

"You!" Milena clenched her fish, crushing Lucifer’s heart, but his healing kept him going. He still held her hand with full strength, not letting her be free.

The decay got even worse for Milena, who started struggling to keep her mouth closed. She wanted to scream in pain, but her dignity didn’t allow her.

"Free me now!" Milena yelled again, not getting any response. She could use her other abilities but not her Teleportation, which was what she needed to free herself if she didn’t want to cut her hand.

For some reason, she decided against cutting her arm, which was grabbed by Lucifer since she had healed, but she couldn’t regrow limbs.

That’s why Nobles died when their head was decapitated. They could heal wounds, broken bones, and other things, but they couldn’t regrow limbs or head, unlike Lucifer.

She didn’t want to live the rest of her life without her arms.

"Fine. Let’s see how you survive after this!" She declared, raising her other hand.

A long knife made of blue energy appeared in her free hand, which she swung towards Lucifer’s throat to take his head off.

Even if he could go on despite his heart being crushed, he couldn’t survive if his head was chopped off, she believed.

She swung her free hand towards Lucifer’s neck, but before it could go too far, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, hitting the hand which held the knife.

"Arghhh!" Finally, a scream left Milena’s lips as her hand was cut because of lightning. Her hand started falling down, soon landing on the ground right in front of Caen.

One of Milena’s hands was chopped, while her other hand was grabbed by Lucifer. It didn’t seem like she had any way out of the situation, especially without her hands in this situation, but that didn’t stop her.

Despite being in such a bad situation, she controlled her pain, deciding to use other methods.

She started flying ahead, pushing Lucifer, who was holding her hand.
