Chapter 435 - 435: Selection

"I allowed you permission to live in my land, and that’s what you do?!" Standing before Lucifer, Milena asked, enraged. The red mist around her was even more intense.

"You did kill a friend of mine. Shouldn’t I be the upset one?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

"You! You attacked my Palace and my people first! And now you’ll pay for it with your blood!"

"I love my blood a little too much, so I don’t think I’ll be doing that anytime soon," Lucifer answered calmly as electricity started crackling around his arms. At the same time, the sky thundered as a powerful black bolt fell towards Milena.

Milena’s figure flickered as she appeared in another spot as if she teleported.

Lucifer grew surprised at this teleportation. Wasn’t it similar to what Arthur used? He knew that Nobles didn’t have this ability. If they did, so many of them wouldn’t have died.. So it was certainly a Warlock ability.

He was mostly sure that it was the Warlock ability of Arthur. Then why did Milena possess it? He was already surprised because of her wings which were similar to the wings of one of the Nobles he saw in the bar in the morning and now this.

So far, he had already seen two Warlock abilities on Milena, which were similar to the Nobles she turned.

"You possess the abilities of the Nobles you turn, aren’t I right?" Lucifer asked, frowning.

Milena didn’t accept, nor did she deny. Even though she said nothing, her silence contained all the answers that Lucifer nodded.

"Interesting. That’s a very interesting ability. Much better than the way I do it," Lucifer commented, getting his answer.

’I want to steal her powers, but can I? She’s more powerful than I thought. She possesses the powers of hundreds of Nobles that she turned. We only knew the tip of the Iceberg so far.’ he thought, wondering if he should kill her instantly or capture her, using the Limiter which was in the hands of Salazar.

With the Limiter, he believed he could keep Milena in check as he killed the other Nobles. Then, he could later test to see if he could steal her powers too, but that was also a problem. There was no way Milena was going to let him get to that.

He took a deep breath, sighing. Even though he had faith in himself, he didn’t want to take this unnecessary risk since even after getting the bracelet; it wasn’t easy for him to place the bracelet on Milena’s wrist.

She wasn’t going to let him get closer without killing him.

"Can you give me one minute?" He asked Milena.

"You want to pray to your gods before death?" Milena asked, frowning. "Fine. Take the last minute of your life. The next minute, you’ll be dead."

Instead of praying like Milena thought he would, Lucifer looked at Arthur in the distance.

...

Arthur expected Milena to kill Lucifer instantly, but he was slightly surprised that Milena even bothered to talk with Lucifer.

He knew that Lucifer’s death was still inevitable since he destroyed the Palace, which actually used to belong to Milena’s father, who was dead now.

It was the house where she grew up. It contained all her childhood memories which were why it was precious to her. It was more than just a building that was taken by the enemies.

Arthur knew that it was only a matter of time before Lucifer died.

Soon, he saw Lucifer glancing in his direction.

He grew curious as to why Lucifer was looking at him when he saw Lucifer raise his hand slowly.

Believing that Lucifer was about to attack, he braced himself.

Not only him, but all the other Nobles were thinking that he was going to attack Arthur. Even Milena thought the same, but she didn’t stop him.

She wanted to see what Lucifer was planning. In any case, she knew Arthur could protect himself with his teleportation.

Everyone was expecting an attack from Lucifer, but there was no attack.

Instead, Lucifer simply raised two fingers as he called out. "Arthur, pick one finger!"

"Huh? What?"

"What?"

"Is he playing a game at this time? What the hell is he doing?"

"Why would he ask him to pick a finger?"

Not only Arthur but all the other Warlocks were confused because of Lucifer’s actions.

Even Serius was frowning, observing Lucifer.

"Ah, I get it! I know why he did that! He’s pretty clever!" one Noble suddenly exclaimed out loud as if he had cracked the mystery.

The other Nobles looked in the direction of Noble, who looked a little chubby.

"Why? Tell us too!"

"That’s right! Share with us too! Why is he doing that?!"

"We want to know too!"

The other nobles also started asking the chubby Noble about the reason since they were sure Lucifer wasn’t going to tell them.

Serius and the other Noble Lords also started listening in carefully while keeping their eyes on the sky.

The chubby man puffed out his chest as he proudly smiled.

"I had to think a lot about it, but now I know the answer. Only a clever Noble like me could have uncovered this mystery. Are you all ready to hear?" he asked.

"Since drag! Just tell us already!" One of the Noble Lords yelled.

Being scolded by a Noble Lord, the chubby man started sweating.

"Ah, right. So here’s the answer. Lord Arthur was the first one who attacked him. I believe he simply wants to show him the middle finger before he dies, and he wanted to take Lord Arthur’s help in that," he explained.

"If Lord Arthur chose the first finger, that man will lower his first finger, leaving only the middle finger up, showing it to Lord Arthur. If Lord Arthur chose the middle finger, he’d probably say that Lord Arthur made the right choice since he deserves the middle finger," he further added, smiling.

The Noble Lords started coughing, unable to believe that the enemy could have such childish reasons for doing something like that right before his death.

If he really wanted to mess with Arthur, he could simply have attacked him. Most Noble Lords understood that whatever the chubby man said was simply not true.

The other nobles also started cursing the chubby man for thinking of something so childish while thinking that he was a genius.

Everyone looked up, wondering what the real reason was.

"What are you thinking about, Arthur? Are you scared?" Lucifer asked, amused.

"Nonsense. Why would I be scared," Arthur let out, rolling his eyes.

"Then pick one," Lucifer insisted.
