His wings also looked less like an angel and more like the wings of a Demon near his shoulders. Each of his wings appeared to be one and a half meters long, which didn't appear to be much. 

"One thing I didn't want to borrow from him," Lucifer muttered, shaking his head. He expected to take the powers and not the physical features, which could mess with his look. 

"What happened to you?" Arthur landed before Lucifer, noticing his wings. 

Duke also landed beside him. "Where's that guy?"

"He's dead," Lucifer replied. "Now stop wasting my time and finish up the rest. Leave me alone."

Lucifer was already pretty upset because of these wings. He didn't want to spend more time talking about it.

He flew away, picking his cloak on the way. 

After finding a peaceful place, he again landed on the ground and started to wonder about his wings. 

"Should I cut them? But what if they grow again? There must be a way. If they're because of a power, then there must be a way to keep them from coming out as long as I want."

He closed his eyes and tried to focus on retrieving the wings.

...

"What happened to him? He looked upset," Duke asked. 

"Don't worry about him. He's right. We should be more concerned about the others. Their leader is already out. Let's help the others in taking the rest out too," Arthur responded, sighing. 

Duke nodded and looked down during his lazer on the ground, making a hole that was big enough to accommodate both of them. 

After making the hole in the ground, he jumped down. Arthur also jumped down. 

Taking a short flight underground, they landed on the ground. 

"Hmmm? You already cleared the rest?" Arthur asked, surprised. 

Under the ground, there was an ample empty space where all Nobles were standing. 

All the Warlocks were also dragged here in the midst of battles to keep the city safe. Not only that but the Warlocks were also killed swiftly by now. 

Marks of destruction could be seen everywhere. Craters could also be seen on the ground, which was filled with headless bodies that seemed to have suffered the explosion of the collars. 

The Nobles also had torn clothes that were covered in blood. However, they had mostly healed by now. 

"Of course. Did you expect us to be defeated?" A red-haired Noble Lord replied, smiling. "Anyway, where's Yasmine?'

"She's dead," Arthur answered. "What's the number of casualties here?"

"We lost ten Nobles and fifty newborns," the red haired lady answered. 

"Ten Nobles... That's a lot..." Arthur muttered. "Her Majesty wouldn't like it."

"What can I say? The enemies were strong. In fact, ten is after the fact that we could heal. If not, the number would have been too high. We really shouldn't have underestimated the foreigners," the lady replied. 

"Also, as far as Her Majesty is concerned, I think she's going to be more upset at the loss of Yasmine," she added, sighing. "Let's go to her. The others will clean up here.'

Arthur nodded and flew outside with Duke and the red-haired lady known as Jis. 

"Where's that Lucifer now?" Jis asked. 

"No idea. After killing the enemy leader, he just took off. He didn't look happy," Duke replied. "Who knows where he went."

"Let's just hope that he ran away and won't ever return. We don't need that bastard in our Empire," Jis replied. 

"I don't think you should be that harsh. No matter what, he helped us while putting his life in danger," Arthur muttered, shaking his head. "Even though I hate to admit it."

"Help? What help? He kept Her Majesty out of the war and inserted himself. In essence, we lost our Strongest Warrior in exchange for him! So it was certainly not worth it!" Jis retorted. 

"Moreover, his plan was stupid! Instead of separation, we should've been together! Yasmine would have been alive if Her Majesty was there!" she continued. 

"I'm not sure about that. I think there was a good chance that Her Majesty would have been hurt too. And keeping everyone there would have been dangerous," Arthur answered. 

"Preposterous! Are you trying to say that Lucifer did better than our queen would have done? You're going off the deep end of the cliff, it seems!"

"That's not it. I'm saying this because I saw the powers of their leader! He was able to steal powers. He stole mine and Yasmine's powers! And just imagine, if Her Majesty was there, he could have stolen her powers too!"

"What if he stole her powers to bring people back to life? He would have brought his men to life! And used our advantage against us! He would have had all the powers of his men then, who would've had our healing too!"

"Just tell me this. How many people would have died if the Warlocks had our Noble abilities and healing too? And then tell me what was better. Keeping her away from the battle and splitting up or not having her join the battle?" Arthur asked. 

"On this topic, I'll have to side with Arthur too," Duke chimed in. "It would have been risky to have Her Majesty there. Lucifer's trick to take her out of the battle was bad, but it worked for the better."

"Hmph," Jis rolled her eyes. "Still, it doesn't change the fact that Lucifer is a scummy person who used the goodwill of Her Majesty to snatch her control!'

"I won't argue there," Duke let out, smiling wryly. 

The roof of the guest house was already broken for the most part. Instead of going through the door, the Nobles flew in through the opening in the roof. 

"And that's when he took over Elisium, finishing the first chapter of his life and a small part his quest for revenge." Caen finished the story of Lucifer up to the point of his takeover of Elisium. 

He intentionally skipped some part of the story about the goal of their takeover of the world and the reason they came to the Divine Empire. At the same time, he didn't forget to mention their enmity with the Warlock Council to get some goodwill from Milena. 

"Who took over what?" Arthur asked, landing in the middle of the conversation.

"Arthur! You're back. How did it go? Is the battle over?" Milena asked, standing up. 

"It went according to the plan. We won the war. All the enemies are dead," Arthur nodded. 

"That was fast.. I thought it'll take longer," Feronia commented. "So, how was the battle? How many enemies were there? And is there any loss to our side?"
