"I am sorry, but we can't risk it. If she is really any spy, even one day can be dangerous. Please step aside. All we want is to ask her some questions. Stop blocking us!"

"You can think whatever you want. But I'm not letting you spoil my day," Lucifer lazily responded. "As for the guy who is blocking the door. I also have an answer for him."

Since these Warlock Council brats were showing off their strengths, he also did the same. He used his super strength which overwhelmed the person blocking the door. 

The door shut. The Warlock Council members continued knocking on the door, warning Lucifer but he didn't respond. 

"Prepare for battle. If they break inside, it's on." Even though it looked like he was talking to Milena, he was actually instructing Kellian who was already in position. 

Just as he expected, his actions didn't sit well with the Warlock Council members. It wasn't as if he cared either. Now that he knew that the Warlock Council didn't have the sword, it was good to have them start the battle. 

Also, he had missed the chance in the meeting but now they were all in this place together. It was as if they were inviting him to kill them. 

The smacking on the door intensified. It was only a matter of time before the enemies were going to barge inside. 

"Joan, stop trying. It's proven. He is guilty. That's why he doesn't want us to talk to her. We should just kill him already. He is an enemy of the Warlock Council who is inside our base! We can't let him do whatever he's planning!" A middle aged man told Joan. 

He had been opposing this plan to involve Lucifer with the organization since the start and now he had the opportunity to get it done with. 

Joan was under pressure from both sides. Lucifer wasn't listening and the Warlock Council members were asking for action against Lucifer. 

He was feeling so overwhelmed that he couldn't even think about leaving to contact Andrim. It was time for a decision and he had to take one. And a decision he took. 

He brought his card out which could be used to open the door. 

"Fine. I suppose we have no choice. But try to contain the damage. There are three of them. Five of us shall be enough to take care of Lucifer. The others can contain the other two and contain the damage."

As Joan gave in, he also contacted the Security Team, asking them to seal the entire building and to activate all the defensive formations so the battle couldn't destroy the place. 

"What's the commotion?" There was so much noise that even Eve came out of her room.

"Just stay back. Don't get involved," Lucifer warned Eve as he stood before the door. 

He took both his gloves off and waited for the enemies to enter. 

He was prepared to bring this place to ruins! Lightning kept cracking around his arms. At the same time, the sky was covered in the dark clouds.

Finally, the sound of the door being unlocked came. 

Milena stretched her arms, smiling brightly. She was finally going to thrash the people that wanted to destroy her Empire. 

The door opened. And people stepped inside. 

The entire room was covered in formations which started shining. All the walls started shining in bright golden light which was reinforcing them. 

This was also the time when Kellian took action. 

He was already in the Control Room. He had seen how the people managed the systems. 

His shadows came out of the group with sharp shadow swords and stabbed them abruptly in the back of the defense staff. 

As the entire room was sealed and couldn't be opened, none of the staff members had their guard up. They hadn't known that Kellian had entered as the shadow of one of their members. 

Entire room was filled with screams as people dropped to the ground like flies. 

He simply pressed a button, deactivating all the defense. At the same time, he also contacted Salazar and told him to attack the city with the help of the Nobles. 

...

"We didn't want to have to do this. You forced us." Joan said as he stared the same in the eyes of Lucifer. 

"But you can't do anything now. All the defenses are active. And you have no way out. Even your strength can't break the walls with the formations. No path to escape. And we knew about your external lightning control."

As Joan finished speaking, a clone of his appeared behind Lucifer. 

The clone started speaking. " The lightning from the clouds can't enter the building after breaking all the defenses. So do you want to surrender now? We'll investigate you to decide if you're actually guilty or not. And if you aren't, we'll free you." 

A second clone appeared around Lucifer. "Or shall we kill you directly? Surrender looks like a better option, isn't it?"

"You only have three seconds to decide!" A fourth clone appeared as well. 

Within a second, Lucifer was surrounded by the clones of Joan. 

As for Arthur and Milena, they were like weaklings for the Warlocks. Some weak members of the uprising. According to their data, only Lucifer was a threat. On the contrary, others were so weak that they couldn't even break through a barrier. 

That was why another Warlock Leader simply cast a barrier around the two of them to seal them in the barrier. The barrier also included Eve. 

"They're underestimating us a bit too much, aren't they?" Arthur asked Milena, chuckling. 

"They sure are. Such idiots," Milena responded. She lowered her head and placed her hand on her mask. 

"Three Seconds, huh."

"Go ahead. Finish your countdown," Lucifer lazily said. 

Seeing the mocking attitude of Lucifer, the Warlocks grew even more frustrated. 

A lot of them just wanted to send Lucifer straight to hell, but Joan stopped them. 

He believed Lucifer wasn't an idiot. He was certainly going to surrender before the time was up. There was no way Lucifer could think that he had a chance there. 

After all, the formations in the room were specially made for Lucifer. There was a reason they gave this time to Lucifer. 

Not only did the external lightning not come here, but there was more. One of the formations in the room controlled the wind here. No one could use the wind in the room. That effectively made one of Lucifer's powers useless. 

Secondly, he certainly had lightning but the Warlock Council had arranged for that as well.
