Uzuki had just sat straight when his other hand sensed danger. He immediately took over the body.
As soon as he took the control of the body, everything changed. His aura became fiercer, and his reflexes became faster. He laid back on the bed swiftly, dodging the sword just by a hair's width.
He couldn't see the Sword, but he noticed the change in the winds as if something had sliced through it. This was enough for him to confirm that there was someone in this room who was attacking him.
Even though he couldn't see them, he was sure there was more than one.
He rolled to the side of the bed, getting down. He once again avoided the sword that landed on the bed just as he got off. The entire bed was sliced into two halves.
He jumped towards the nearby window. The glass window shattered with the impact of his body hitting. The glass window shattered.
Uzuki left the room and ran to the exit. He didn't want to fight some invisible people in such a closed space, especially when he didn't have any long range weapons. It was easy for him to handle if he could see the enemies but not now.
Uri followed after Uzuki through the window after snapping the neck of the man who had spoiled their entire plan by his untimely entry. The other four Warlocks also followed after Uzuki.
….
Lucifer stood calm inside the sphere that had trapped him. Even though he looked calm, like he didn't care at all, there were many questions floating in his head.
He wanted to find the weakness of this sphere to get out of it, but he couldn't think of any. The sphere wasn't destroyed by his lightning, and he couldn't hold the sphere long enough for his decay to achieve something.
He couldn't Teleport outside, and he couldn't use his wind to free himself. Even his shadow couldn't leave the sphere.
The sphere reached really close to him, so much so that it started touching his skin, burning it.
Having no time to think, he made a decision. He needed to protect himself, and he only had two abilities that had evolved to the next stage.
He couldn't control the Time after evolution to the level he could before, but he still hoped to try. That was the only way out of this mess.
He focused deep as he tried connecting to his Time Core which was unusually big. Not only had he stolen the Time Core of Julien, but he also stole from his father before evolving. It was his biggest core that he could see.
At the same time, he used his second evolved ability. He cast a barrier made purely of his Dark Lightning to stop the other barrier from shrinking.
The Atlantian Barrier could absorb the lightning to become even stronger, but despite that, it couldn't break through the barrier as Lucifer kept supplying more and more lightning to keep the barrier stable.
He was inadvertently making the barrier stronger, but he didn't care. He needed time no matter what.
The Time Core was too strong for him to control as he didn't have much insight about the ability of time. It wasn't a core part of his body that was there from the beginning. He had a slight connection with it, but that wasn't even enough to access the outward abilities of the Core.
The lighting Barrier blocked Lucifer from everyone's view.
"This idiot… He is making our barrier even stronger. I thought he would've been smarter." The old man smirked, watching his Barrier absorb the lightning, but his smile soon disappeared as he felt the barrier becoming unstable.
Within seconds, the AI also issued a warning, confirming the suspicions of the man.
"Warning: Due to too much energy absorption, the Atlantian Barrier is becoming unstable."
"Stop the absorption!" The old man commanded.
"Absorption can't be stopped. It is advisable that you move back. The barrier will explode in ten seconds if absorption isn't stopped."
"Sir, if there's an explosion, that guy will die! How will we get the information then? We need to save him!"
"Do you expect me to pass through the barrier? Even I couldn't do that! That barrier is too strong now! I'll be ripped to shreds if we try."
"So, what should we do?" The young man asked. "If we die, we'll never find her."
"I know, but we can't die for information!"
"His Majesty will kill us in any case if we don't find her!"
"I know, but I can't do anything. I will find any excuse to give to His Majesty. We'll tell him that this guy destroyed the body of Lady Milena after finding her useless, and we killed him. We might be able to survive. In any case, this man will be dead now."
"Don't die for a dead cause."
As the old man finished, he moved back. The young man followed suit. Both of them moved thousands of meters away from the barrier to protect themselves from the worst part of the explosion, but they didn't leave the sight entirely.
They followed the suggestion of Ai on how much to move back because they were protected by their barrier.
On the other hand, Lucifer didn't know that he had already found a flaw in the barrier. He stood inside his lighting barrier, unaware that it was making the other barrier unstable.
He was too immersed in trying to use even a fraction of time to escape this mess. He needed to reverse time by a few minutes to get out of this mess, but he couldn't gain enough control of the abilities he owned.
Finally, the barrier had enough. It was so unstable that it couldn't hold on for longer. It exploded.
Boom~
The explosion was so powerful that even the lightning barrier couldn't resist it for even a fraction.
The barrier shattered. Lucifer's eyes abruptly opened as he saw a massive unstable wave of energy coming towards him. It was so powerful that spatial cracks kept appearing around him. The spatial stability was destroyed completely.
Lucifer started turning into a shadow. Since the barrier was destroyed, he could escape, but even that wasn't possible. As he was standing at the core of the exploding barrier, a black hole developed from all the spatial destruction, swallowing the shadow Lucifer had turned to.
The black hole even swallowed all the destructive energy that had created it, stunning even the people from the Atlantis.
They watched the beginning of the explosion before everything was swallowed by a black hole. Even that black hole disappeared immediately after.
"What just happened?" The young man asked, stunned.
