Chapter 614 - 614: Accepting Invitation

" It would've been faster if I hadn't waited for them. But they were already on the way. So I waited. In any case, do you really think I would care if any of them die?"

"You think you won't?" Eve asked in return. "You have more emotions than you let out, young man. And I saw the extent of those emotions in the pond with that phoenix."

"Don't talk about her." Lucifer frowned.

" See? And you say you don't care," Eve said, raising her head. "Look up and tell me what you see."

Lucifer raised his head. It was already evening. The sky was starting to darken, but there was still enough light.

"I see the sky and some clouds. And I see the sun is setting. What about it?" Lucifer asked.

"That's right. Do you know the specialty of the sun?" Eve asked.

"It gives light," Lucifer replied.

"That's one of them. But I'm talking about the second one. The specialty is that you can't see the sun at night. After the sun sets, all you see is darkness. But does that mean the sun doesn't exist at night? Or is it not giving light in the night?" Eve asked.

"It's always there, even if you can't see it. A person's emotions are the same," she added. "You might not see your emotions at times. You might even feel that you've lost your sense of pain and sadness, but it's always there, just hidden from plain sight."

"Ignoring your emotions won't make you stronger. That will just mean that you aren't strong enough to accept your emotions. The day you gain strength to acknowledge your strengths and your flaws while accepting your true emotions, you'll be complete."

"Remember my words."

After finis.h.i.+ng, Eve lowered her head and stopped looking at the setting sun to find Lucifer looking at her.

"What are you looking at? Have you fallen for me already?" Eve asked, laughing.

Lucifer stopped looking at her right away. "You might be right about one thing. So many people don't need to die, especially when there is a better plan."

As he looked away, he noticed that Kellian and Milena were done with the briefing.

He started walking towards them instead, leaving Eve behind.

...

Now that Kellian and Eve were finished with the briefing, Lucifer joined them and gathered all of them together.

"I'm sure you all understand what you need to do?" he asked.

"We did." Everyone said in unison.

"Good. Now forget all that. There had been a change in the plan," Lucifer declared.."You won't be attacking the city tomorrow. Instead, you'll be staying back here."

"W-what?"

"Are we backing off? What happened?"

"Is there a new plan? Are we going back?'

Many questions were raised suddenly, coming from both sides. Even Kellian had tons of questions himself.

"Silence!" Lucifer yelled, silencing everyone. "We're not going back. The Warlock Council is still going to be destroyed. The only difference is that we'll use a different plan now!"

"Kellian!" Lucifer commanded.

Kellian stepped forward.

"The Shadow Monarch of Uprising and one of the most threatening Warlocks in the a.r.s.enal of Uprising. You'll be coming with me tomorrow."

"Milena and Arthur, the two of you will also be coming with me," he further said, selecting only three Warlocks. "Only four of us will go."

"Only four? What? Why are we all here then? You want our queen to fight alone when all of us are here? Nonsense!" Jiani called out.

"Who the h.e.l.l do you think you are to call any plan by him nonsense?" Jane responded to Jiani. She was from Uprising and didn't accept the insult of Lucifer.

"Silence! No infighting!" Lucifer intervened before the argument could get bad.

"Previously, I was moving with the plan that I had made after knowing that you were all going to be here. But I had ignored something important," he said. "It was about the invitation!"

"Invitation?" Milena asked, frowning. She didn't know what invitation he was talking about.

"You mean the Warlock Council invitation?" Kellian asked.

"That's right. It was such an important thing. We can't ignore it." Lucifer smiled.

"What Warlock Council invitation? Is someone going to tell us?" Jiani asked.

"Warlock Council invited me to join them in destroying the Divine Empire," Lucifer answered. "They don't know that the Divine Empire is mine as well."

"Anyway, we'll use that invitation. I will go to them tomorrow. Kellian, Arthur, and disguised Milena will come with me as my envoys."

"We'll get an entry inside the Warlock Council headquarters, and we'll be taken to a meeting with all the Warlock Council leaders."

"There, it'll be our responsibility to take out all the Warlock Council leaders who will be in one place."

Lucifer told the plan in brief.

"That... That would certainly be a big advantage. If we attack openly, all the leaders will be spread out. It'll become pretty chaotic. But if we can get them all in one place, it'll be pretty amazing," Kellian agreed. "It'll save us a lot of time."

"Yeah. And after we crush the heads of the Warlock Council, the rest will be child's play," Lucifer said. "And if something goes wrong, it's fine too. All I said is that our army won't enter the city tomorrow. But that doesn't mean they can't surround it from a safe distance."

"If needed, they'll be commanded to attack," he continued. "Any questions?"

"Yeah. One question." The hand which was raised belonged to Ca.s.sius.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you taking only three people?" Ca.s.sius asked. "Why am I not included?"

"Because I don't need firepower. I need stealth and someone who is difficult to kill. Milena and Arthur can use teleportation. They can kill fast in a small s.p.a.ce while protecting themselves. On the other hand, Kellian has his shadows."

"They're selected keeping the worst situation in mind. And lastly, I need more firepower outside. In case things go wrong, it'll need your sword to bring the city cras.h.i.+ng down."

"Any other questions?" Lucifer asked again after answering Ca.s.sius.

"I have a question. I'm also pretty good at keeping myself safe. My energy negation can be pretty good. Why am I not coming?" Yasmine asked.

"Because I already have that arranged. We don't need more. And three are already enough. If I go with more people, the Warlock Council might get suspicious," Lucifer explained. "That's why even Kellian will be in the form of my shadow when going there."

"One last thing. I'm sure most of you already know the use of these bracelets. There are some in the box. I want everyone to take one and use it on the enemies if needed.. As for how to use them…."
