Chapter 494: What about me?
Salazar stretched his arms as he prepared for the battle. He knew that he only had a few minutes in which Feronia was trapped inside to take Arthur out. After Arthur was gone, he could have a much easier time escaping.
"So you want to fight me without any interruption? You should\'ve said that before. I would\'ve asked Feronia to not interfere. But it\'s a stupid decision altogether," Arthur muttered, sighing. "I really hate people who break their promise."
He instantly teleported behind Salazar, extending his hand to grab him by the throat. Unfortunately, Salazar still had his domain active. Even the fastest movement of Arthur was slow to him.
Before Arthur could even get to him, he turned around, swinging his knife.
His knife was just about to slice the wrist of Arthur, who teleported at the last moment.
"So that\'s the power of time. It\'s only after I experienced it did I realize how great it is," Arthur let out, rubbing his wrist.
A slight scratch was left on his skin, but that was much better than what would have happened if he hadn\'t Teleportation. His entire hand would have been cut.
"Why don\'t you experience it again?" Salazar asked, smirking as he extended his domain to cover an area even bigger than the Palace. No matter where Arthur could run to, he was going to be in his domain.
Arthur previously stood at the spot where he could see he was unaffected by the Domain as he watched the slower movement of Feronia compared to him, but something felt strange. Feronia was moving at an ordinary speed. As for Salazar, he wasn\'t moving much fast either.
He wondered if he had removed his Domain. He felt something was wrong, and his suspicions turned out to be true as he saw Salazar attack him.
Even though he was standing much farther, every movement of Salazar seemed lightning fast
Boom~
Salazar had just decided to mount a surprise attack but stopped as he heard a crashing sound.
The roof was broken, and tens of White Robed men entered the palace, landing all around Salazar, surrounding him.
"What are you all doing here?" Arthur asked, frowning.
"You were taking a long time, so we came to check,"?A dark-haired High Lord responded.
All the people who had come here were the High Lords of the Divine Empire.
"It looks like you still haven\'t dealt with one. Lord Arthur, you\'re getting slower," Another High Lord responded.
"Ten more," Salazar muttered, scratching the back of his head. And all ten of these were the Noble Lords.
There were now twelve of the Strongest Noble Lords here, all of whom were a part of the royal court.
Salazar felt a headache coming, but he still didn\'t find himself defeated. "So what if there are ten more. That just means more fun for me."
"Hahaha, this one is pretty confident." A Noble Lord said, bursting into laughter. "Kiddo, I alone would be enough for you, let alone ten of us."
"Why don\'t you back your words by your action then? Fight me alone. I promise I\'ll go easy," Salazar said, mocking the man.
"Hehehe, kiddo. I would have done that as well. However, you\'re not our prey. Someone else is here for you."
"Someone else?"
The Noble Lord pointed his finger upwards. Salazar glanced up for a moment, understanding what they were talking about.
He patted his gun, frowning.
The gun only had one special bullet, which was to be used against Milena but he had already used that, thinking Milena wasn\'t going to come here, but he was wrong. Milena was here, flying above his head.
She slowly came down, landing before Salazar.
"Your Majesty," Arthur and Feronia greeted the Queen.
"The enemy is at the door, and you\'re still wasting time here? I came to see personally what was taking you so long. And now I understand," Milena muttered, raising her hand.?"I can feel that there is some kind of restriction that\'s slowing everything in the surroundings."
"Is it your ability?" she asked Salazar.
Salazar frowned, not responding. He was still wondering how he could get out of the situation. Through the prediction, he already knew that his time domain wasn\'t going to be effective against Milena. And his mind prison wasn\'t effective either.
Moreover, he didn\'t have the bullet to trap Milena temporarily so he could have a way out.
"Well, I don\'t know if I should be upset or happy. All the strongest people of the Divine Empire came to capture me personally, including the queen. Not bad," Salazar let out, smiling.
"I believe you should be more upset. Because my arrival means your death. It doesn\'t matter what we did at the moment. We had no control over it, but we have control over the future. And we can see that your side is attacking us! So we can\'t treat you as a guest anymore," Milena answered.
"Treat us as a guest? Is that why you had Lucifer kidnapped? Because you were treating him as a guest?" Salazar asked.
"I didn\'t kidnap him. But it\'s true that someone from my side did, and I knew about it. And by now, he might be dead already. But as I said, we can\'t change the past since we weren\'t in control. It was all someone else, pulling the strings," Milena replied.
"But that doesn\'t mean we would forgive your side for attacking us because that\'s not related to the disappearance of your friend," she continued.
"So it is clear that you came here with bad intentions. Even then, we would have given you the offer to surrender, but we can\'t now. The enemy is at our doors, and we need as much help as we can get. That\'s why your death is important so that you can join our side as a noble!"
"I get it now. You want to turn me Noble so I can fight for you. It\'s not about your anger or anything. How about it, you free Lucifer, and I\'ll fight for your side willingly? Not only I but he will too. Because we aren\'t from the Warlock Council." Salazar explained.
"Another story now? You came here in a Warlock Council helicopter with a man from the Warlock Council Branch and now you claim you aren\'t one of them? Has fear of death really brought you to that extent?" Milena asked, sighing.
"But it doesn\'t matter. We can only trust you when we make you a noble. Moreover, we don\'t need your permission for you to help us. You have neither the authority nor the strength to command us!" she added confidently.
Boom!
At the same time, another person entered through the roof, landing on the floor. His landing created a crater on the floor.
"He doesn\'t, but what about me?" the newly arrived guest asked, facing Milena.
