" This will make things a bit complicated. With such danger, the higher ups might not allow this Lucifer to beco a Star Alliance mber. A person who can explode at any ti is too dangerous."
"I don't think so," Joana responded. "Lucifer is inherently different from the other guy. Both aren't even the sa species if the scan is to be believed. So we will wait for the diagnostics to be completed."
"After it's completed and it shows that the scan wasn't wrong, we can classify Lucifer as a different species that has characteristics of them all. The other guy will be classified as a human. We don't need to ntion this explosion thing in the briefing about Lucifer."
"Moreover, even if that thing is true, so what? Lucifer would be back to earth before seven days are over. And we can make sure he doesn't spend more than seven days away from earth at once."
"We can keep sending him back once every seven days at least if worst cos to worst. However, I genuinely think that Lucifer won't have the sa problem because of his species."
"Aren't we intentionally hiding the information from higher ups than? If we tell them that there's no chance of Lucifer suffering an explosion, they'll certainly believe us. But if we do, the worst they'll do is keep Lucifer in a cell for seven days. We should tell them the truth."
"If he indeed doesn't have this problem, he'll be let out after seven days."
"Is that so? And what if I was wrong and he dies in an explosion? I'll lose this opportunity. It's much better to keep sending him back until he reaches a high enough level and becos a Level Two mber. Now don't talk more about this. I don't want to hear anything."
"And rember, only ntion in the report what I told you. No one outside needs to know more than that."
The lady stepped back, sighing. She nodded her head. "I'll do as you say. But I really hope you're right. If sothing goes wrong in the future, you'll be blad otherwise. And I don't want that to happen.
"Hahaha, I'll be blad? That's an understatent. If I were to be honest, I might be executed." Joana burst into laughter.
"If you know, then why take this risk?"
"Because bigger risk ans bigger rewards. Send the report fast. We'll be ho in an hour. The report needs to get there so that Lucifer can be allowed to land without being arrested. You understand?"
Talking with the lady in the back, he was really distracted. As he turned back to the screen, his eyes opened wider.
Lucifer was standing before Xaen. Blood was all over the floor. Many of the body parts of Xaen were missing.
"God..." Joana rubbed his forehead at the sight. "He really can be brutal to get what he wants... I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or wrong, but I'll really need to be careful with this guy. He can be a double edged sword."
"Bring Xaen out of Lucifer's room and send him to a doctor. Can't let him die. We need to know if he's telling the truth about the explosions or not. We need him alive. Also, prepare for landing."
...
Milena flew towards Jian, calling forth a dark edged Sword, made purely from energy.
Mid-flight, she also cast Energy Negation to safeguard her.
The last ti she faced Julien, she was so close to death, being caught in his Ti Prison. She couldn't even use Energy Negation after that point. If Lucifer hadn't arrived at the right ti, she would've died.
Since then, she had decided that whenever she was going to fight against a powerful enemy, the first thing she was going to do was cast her Energy Negation to protect herself.
Jian stood calmly, watching Milena fly towards him. Even now he didn't seem worried as he held the hilt of his sword which still rested in the sheath. However, for so reason, even the sheath of the sword was sharp enough to slice soone's throat easily.
Kellian also sent so of his shadows towards Jian. Before Milena could reach Jian, Kellian's shadow reached him. The shadow vines the feet of Jian to hold him in place.
Two more shadow vines ca out, wrapping the wrist of Jian.
Jiani was surprised to find Kellian interfering. By the ti she realized that Kellian had interfered, she was already furious. "What are you doing? It's the fight of Her Majesty!"
"I'm just helping. It's not a ti to show off. It's the ti to fight against an enemy. The headquarters is under attack. We need to finish him fast. If he runs, it'll be problematic. So I'm stopping him."
"Don't worry, I wasn't going to run. You didn't need to do this." Jian laughed. "I didn't co here to run. I ca here to take care of so pests who thought it was a good idea to kill brother!"
"However, now that we're all here, I think it's good. Let the whole world see what happens to the ones that attack the Warlock Council. You all were right."
"The entire world needs to be scared of an organization that can destroy them all at once. But you were wrong about that organization. It isn't Uprising. It's the organization I created. Today the whole world shall see the truth."
He turned towards the cara in the distance.
"And Lucifer Azarel, if you're seeing this, be prepared. What I do to these people is nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you for what you did to my father!"
Milena reached Jian and swung her sword.
Still tied by the shadow wines, Jian raised his hand. The shadow vines that were holding him until now broke apart, not even providing the slightest of resistance against Jian.
'Even though I'm weak, my shadows shouldn't be that weak. How did he break them so easily? Just what...'
Breaking the vines, Jian raised the sword which was still in the sheath to block the shadow sword of Milena.
The shadow sword clashed with the sheath of Jian's sword but couldn't pass through. Let alone damaging the sword, it couldn't even damage the sheath of Jian's Sword. Not a single scratch was left on Jian's Sword.
Milena grew stunned at how fast Jian was. It was as if he moved even faster than her.
She teleported behind Jian, swinging the sword again.
"I expected more from you," Jian's calm voice ca as he stepped to the left, barely avoiding the sword of Milena as if sending the attack.
