Chapter 849: Last I'll see
Divided by their different ideologies, the two sides were united by a common enemy as they decided to work together. Jian agreed to work with Milen in getting them out so they could find the lost sword that he came into this world for.
Unaware of the deal that had just taken place between Jian and Milen, Lucifer had just finished Killing Azurel, and he only needed to kill Licia.
Without taking long, he shot toward Licia. His figure kept flickering from one place to another as he kept disappearing while closing in.
Only a trail of electricity was left in his wake in his unpredictable movement.
Licia stood calm, not moving even a little. She didn't need to move either as there wasn't time. Before she couldn't even blink, Lucifer was already right beside her, thrusting his sword.
As if sensing the movement of the sword, Licia smiled, but she didn't move even now. The sword struck her. Despite hitting Licia, the sword couldn't pass through her body. It was as if her body was made from the strongest materials. Even his lightning sword was failing in penetrating her skin.
Lucifer's eyes opened in surprise. Within the next second, he felt a cold hand around his neck. His body was raised high in the sky before it came crashing down.
His body was smashed on the ground, creating a crater under him.
A trail of blood came out of his lips as he felt the impact. He looked at the one who had attacked him, trying to see who it was. He had already killed Azurel, and the other two were busy with Jian, so there should've been none. And he was sure it wasn't a woman's hands.
He wasn't as stunned when his sword failed to stab Licia as he was now, seeing the one who had attacked him.
"Jian? You're betraying me at this time? You don't want the information?" he asked, holding his chest. His figure disappeared and appeared ten meters away to get a clear view of Jian, Licia, and Milen standing together. "Or did they take over your mind already?"
"These people taking over my mind? They don't have the capacity," Jian snorted.
Hearing his arrogant words, Licia's lips twitched. Even she didn't know what had happened; she didn't like the way this guy was talking about them as if they were nothing.
Milen placed his hands on the shoulder of Licia and whispered in her ears about the deal he had made with Jian. He even talked about what kind of person Jian was and that the person who was controlling him wasn't from this realm.
Hearing all the new information, Licia was slightly amused. Someone from another realm was here too?
"That's why I was feeling that otherworldly energy. I see," she muttered, folding her arms.
"Look, kid. I would've worked with you since I want to help Jian achieve what he wants, but the other side has offered me a great deal which I can't refuse. So it's time we stop this battle. I can't let you stop the deal and spoil everything. So drop your fighting spirit and let the Baltics do what they want," Jian warned Lucifer.
Lucifer was momentarily silent as he heard the threats. The entire equation had changed suddenly. However, it wasn't bad either. In any case, he needed to take care of Jian in the future. It seemed like it was the time already.
"Lucifer Azarel, stop fighting, and let us proceed with our plan. Just as we promised to help Jian, we promise to you as well that we won't hurt innocent humans!" Milen also chimed in to stop the battles, which were already over in his eyes. "In any case, you're all alone here. You can't beat us and get your way. No one is coming to help you!"
"I'm all alone; you're right. And you are three now, including Jian. It's hard, you're right. Especially since even my sword can't penetrate some of you," Lucifer exclaimed, nodding. " However, you're wrong about one thing."
"And what would that be?" Milen asked, curious.
"That no one is coming to help me," Lucifer responded lazily as he dropped to his knees, placing his palm on the ground.
"What is he doing?" Licia asked Milen. "Seems like he's surrendering, but his tone isn't right."
"He isn't surrendering. He is creating a Summoning Circle!" Milen exclaimed. "No one can go out from here except the Summon Beasts through a Summoning Circle."
"This guy won't surrender," Licia commented, sighing. "Let me finish him."
She took a step forward, but she was blocked by Jian.
Jian's sword was blocking her path. "Let me take care of him. I already gave him a suggestion. If he doesn't listen to even me, that's my insult which I won't take nicely."
Jian started stepping towards Lucifer with calm steps, seemingly not in any hurry. A white Summoning Circle appeared around Lucifer, which covered an area of five meters around him.
The Summoning Circle kept getting bigger and bigger and only stopped when it covered an area of twenty meters.
Jian stepped on the Summoning Circle, which he could've broken easily just by stabbing his sword on the ground, but he wanted to deal with Lucifer directly.
"You only the summoned beast will take a few minutes before it can come, even if you finish the Summoning Circle. And if the summoner dies in the meantime, the circle and the summoned beast disappear. You really think I would've allowed you to do it?"
Lucifer raised his head, looking deep into the eyes of Jian. Initially, his eyes seemed deadly serious, but his lips curved into a smile.
Noticing his smile, Jian frowned. Just why was he smiling? Did he think that he couldn't kill him?
"I think it's time I ended this. I really don't like that mocking look on your face. I would've let you live if only that weren't there," Jian exclaimed, frowning as he raised his sword, pointing it straight at Lucifer's head.
He didn't notice that by the time he did that, Lucifer also did something. He placed his bare finger on one of the formation lines.
"You want to know why I am smiling?" Lucifer asked, seemingly amused.
"Why?" Jian asked.
"Because this is the last I'll see your ugly face. What can I do if not smile?" Lucifer retorted. The formation under him started shining brightly, getting defected by the decay.
After finishing his words, Lucifer disappeared. He appeared a hundred meters away, outside the range of the formation circle.
Licia, Jian, and Milen looked at Lucifer in the distance, having a feeling of doom.
