Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 521 - 521: Formation War?

The Warlock Council Planes were advancing towards Elisium at full speed, accompanied by high-speed warplanes that were flying beside them.

The Warlock Council didn't realize that the information about their arrival was already leaked somehow. Still, even if they knew, they wouldn't have cared. They were that confident in their strengths.

There were two teams that were in charge of this mission. Both teams were told to work together on this, but almost everyone knew that it wasn't going to be the case. Both Warlock Council Leaders that were on this mission wanted the glory for themselves.

Both of them were going to try to overtake the other with different plans. It was something that all the Warlock Council Leaders knew, but no one cared since it only motivated these two more.

That was also why the two groups were flying differently and taking different routes.

The first group was taking the flight straight to Elisium while the other group was taking the long route to enter Elisium from the back.

Both groups had different plans. One wanted to break all obstructions to defeat the Uprising.

The other group felt that it was too bothersome. They didn't want to waste time taking down minions. They wanted to attack the Capital directly. They also wanted to use the first group as a distraction.

The first group was being led by a Warlock known as Zhu, who was the sixth strongest Warlock in the Warlock Council.

Zhu was also known as the second strongest summoner in the continent of Triton.

He was a man dressed in plant white clothes, wearing a leather jacket on top, which was grey in color.

There was also a snake sitting on his lap. The white crystal snake was the size of an ordinary snake, but unlike ordinary snakes, it had a horn on its head.

The first plane was also accommodating Jia, who was the envoy that met with Kellian last time. She was also the one that informed the Warlock Council about the looks of Lucifer.

Thanks to Jenilia, they now possessed a sketch of Lucifer, who was decided to be the main target on the battlefield. He was the person who was the biggest threat to the Warlock Council, along with Kellian.

Jenilia was also sitting in the same plane in the back, looking at the sketch of Lucifer.

"Are you really the Uprising leader? Did you lie to me that time? I hope that's not the case. However, if you're on the battlefield, you'll be my enemy. And I won't go easy on you. But I do pray that it's not the case."

...

The second group was something that Uprising knew about, but even they didn't even realize that they were taking a different route.

Kellian thought that they were going to be in the same entourage. That's why he was keeping an eye on the planes of the Warlock Council, not knowing that it wasn't their entire force. It was just the first group.

As for the second group, they flew under the radar of Kellian, who had applied all the forces in the town to face the enemies. The other end of Elisium was left completely defenseless.

...

The second group was being led by a Warlock known as Hanzi.

The man was in his early thirties and was slightly weaker than Zhu, who was leading the first group. At least that's what was said. The Warlock Council didn't actually have Warlocks fight to decide who was stronger.

Only their performance in battles against the enemies was judged to decide their strengths, and so far, Zhu was considered to be in the lead. That was also why Hanzi wanted to be the one to crush Lucifer.

He wanted the glory of killing the enemy leader to get an edge above Zhu in the organization. He was already tired of being known as weaker than Zhu.

Even though no one said that on his face, he knew that they all thought that; that's also why he felt like he was given less importance in the organization.

Hanzi sat in the plane, sipping on his coffee as he glanced outside the window.

"My friend, thank you for unknowingly acting as my pawn. Weaken the enemies while I'll be hunting some real big fishes," he muttered.

Three groups were en-route to Elisium in planes, all coming to Elisium from different directions.

The first group was the closest to Elisium, while the second group and Lucifer's group appeared to be at the same distance from Elisium.

The first group also reached the neighboring nation of Elisium first.

As soon as it entered the airspace of the nation, three missiles came flying towards the planes.

The Warlocks didn't even need to disturb Zhu to take care of such missiles. It was only after taking care of the missiles that they informed Zhu that their plane was attacked.

"Don't bother with them. Just keep the place safe and let us reach Elisium. We'll take care of this nation on our way back," Zhu lazily said.

He was upset that even pesky nations were attacking them, but he also knew that it could be a tactic to delay them. He didn't play along.

Throughout the way, more and more attacks came towards the plane, but none of them landed on the plane.

The planes soon reached near Elisium.

"Sir, we're almost there!" A Warlock informed Zhu.

"Good," Zhu muttered, smiling.

He tapped his earphones. "You have the permission."

As he finished his commands, the fighter jets that were surrounding the planes sped up even more.

....

"They're almost here," Kellian said, looking at the screen.

He could also hear more details in his ears which were coming from Vega back at the base.

"Tristan. Ready?"

"As ready as I can be," Tristan responded, smirking.

He held the hilt of his sword.

Five fighter jets came slicing through the winds; however, it was as if the enemies knew about them. Before they could even get inside the airspace of Elisium and attack, two five powerful arcs of black light came flying towards them.

The beam of light reached the jets, but that's also when a strange formation that was carved on the plane started shining.

The formation became bigger and appeared as a shield before the planes that blocked the attacks.

" Sword Formation? Without a Sword?" Tristan exclaimed in shock.

He had seen the same thing being used by Cassius. It was the formation that absorbed the attack and fired it back with more force! How could the Warlock Council use this on planes instead of swords? Just what technology did they use?

Just as Tristan had expected, the same attack came back in their direction from the formation.

"Dodge!" Tristan yelled, warning the Uprising member who was in the line of attack; however, it was too late. The attacks hit the Warlock, killing him.

The planes also entered the airspace of Elisium before dropping the bombs where the Warlocks were standing.
