Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 504 - 504: Don't Need To Answer

Suddenly finding himself unable to teleport away, Arthur found himself being surrounded by the enemies. He had become the focus of everyone's attention.

A flying sword came straight towards Arthur's head. Arthur tilted his body to the side, dodging the sword by a hair's breadth.

He continued trying to teleport, but for some reason, it didn't work.

Instead of trying to teleport, he flew in the air to avoid a barrage of attacks, flying back. He wasn't left alone even then as a barrage of attacks was fired in his direction, leaving him no direction to avoid the attacks.

"Come on! What is happening!" Arthur cursed, not understanding what happened.

Fortunately, before the attacks could land on him, a red beam came from the distance, which destroyed the attack which was about to hit Arthur.

"Are you alright?"

Duke approached Arthur.

"Do I look fine? I don't know what's happening, but my Teleportation has suddenly stopped working!"

Duke floated near Arthur and continued attacking and stopping all the attacks that were coming in their direction.

"I think it might be something similar to Yasmine's ability. There might be a Warlock who is stopping your Teleportation. Do one thing. Go back to the wall and try testing your Teleportation. If it works, that means it's exactly as I said."

"What about you?" Arthur asked.

"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. You're our most important weapon. Keeping you safe is our priority!"

"I'll be back immediately after testing!"

Arthur started flying away from all the Warlocks to test the theory.

The other Warlocks were also running towards the wall. In fact, most of them had almost reached the walls.

"I must say, it was a really brave decision to come with only three infected to stop us. But it's also a stupid decision. You thought you could stop us from getting inside the city with just the three of us?"

Andreas looked in the eyes of Lucifer, who approached him.

"It doesn't look that hard," Lucifer replied lazily.

"Is that so?" Andreas asked. "I think you should look behind. Most of my men are already near the wall. Soon, they'll be inside the city. You can do nothing about it."

"Who told you I'm going to do something about it?" Lucifer responded lazily.

In the background, a Warlock jumped over the massive wall to enter the city.

"There goes my first Warlock," Andreas said.

"And there he comes back," Lucifer responded, without having to even look back. Just as he said, the body of the Warlock came flying back to land outside the city.

Andreas's face twitched as he saw that.

"I think you forgot something," Lucifer said. "Only three people were brought outside the city. That means all the rest are still inside. At the moment, your goal shouldn't be to enter the city. It should be to be able to stay inside the city."

Boom~

With another explosion, two more Warlocks came flying outside the city to land on the ground. Their heads were bleeding as their entire body appeared to be burnt.

Andreas frowned.

"So the reason you came out wasn't to stop us. It was to find us a sense of victory at being able to go past you so our men would be more relaxed when they enter the city. You wanted them to underestimate the defenses."

"Well played. But it won't work for long."

"I'm sure it won't. I don't want it to work for long either. Just long enough until you're all wiped out, and it starts with you," Lucifer said as his figure flickered.

He appeared right behind Andreas and reached out his hand to grab his throat.

His hands were only a few inches away from Andreas's neck when Andreas disappeared to appear three feet away from Lucifer.

"Another Teleportation user?" Lucifer muttered, frowning.

This ability seemed too similar to the ability of Arthur. "Why is everyone getting this annoying skill?"

"Well, you should thank your friend for giving me this ability. Or should I say, you should thank yourself for letting me take their abilities?"

A calm smile graced the lips of Andreas.

"So you copied their abilities?" Lucifer asked. "An ability stealer. Not bad."

Andreas smirked.

"Not copied. You can say I stole their abilities in their entirety. They can't use their abilities as long as I can use theirs," Andreas smirked. "Do you now understand how futile your efforts are?"

"Intriguing. You had that kind of ability, and even then, you were scared of attacking the Divine Empire. Let me guess... It's because you can't steal her abilities?" Lucifer asked.

"I don't think I need to answer you anything!"

Andreas disappeared and appeared behind Lucifer. His right hand turned into beast-like claws which he thrust towards Lucifer.

Lucifer didn't move this time. Instead, he casually remained in his place. The claws reached his throat, but before they could hit him, a barrier appeared around Lucifer to protect him.

The barrier wasn't violet like the one he used. Instead, it was blue now.

The claws hit the barrier but couldn't pass through.

"This barrier? Drake?" Andreas exclaimed, recognizing the barrier. It seemed to have the same properties as the barrier used by Drake.

"You can steal powers too?" Andreas asked.

"No, but I can steal people who use those abilities," Lucifer replied.

On the ground, Drake was standing, looking in their direction. The hole in his head was still as visible as before. His eyes were also lifeless, but he was still able to use his abilities.

Lucifer had subtly used his claw spikes to leave a parasite in the body of Drake after killing him, letting him wake up.

Six more barriers appeared around Andrew, trapping from all sides. However, the barrier was still unable to stop his Teleportation as he appeared in front of Lucifer.

"Ability to bring the dead back to life? It's similar to Milena's ability. Not bad. I wish I were able to see you use it before I filled the slot," Andreas muttered, frowning.

"Let me guess. So that's what it is. You need to see the person use his ability to be able to steal it?" Lucifer asked, keeping Andreas distracted.

"No points for guesses. Also, your wind blades can't do anything. So stop using them again and again. They tickle me!"

As Lucifer had been using wind blades to target Andreas, it was clear that they weren't working. Let alone working; they kept disappearing before they could even hit Andreas.

"You also stole Yasmine's powers?" Lucifer asked, taking a guess.. Seeing his attacks disappear, it was clear that it was similar to the effects of Yasmine's domain.
