Chapter 604 - 604: We\'re Not Done
He clapped his hand again, firing more lighting bolts towards the sky, creating an opening in the ground.
He flew out with the coffin in his hand. Salazar and the Dean also flew behind him.
After leaving the room, Lucifer found himself in the middle of a desert. There was no human establishment nearby.
Not stopping with just that, he called forth the lightning from the sky, destroying the underground room even more than it was already destroyed.
After destroying the chamber, he called forth wind tornadoes to bury the room with sand, making it impossible to be found.
"That\'s much better," he said, patting his clothes.
He changed the color of his cloak to white and covered his head with the good as the sun was shining bright above his head.
He also brought his gloves out of his pocket and wore them.
"Show me the map of Zeston and highlight my location from it," He commanded.
A holographic image appeared didn\'t before his eyes which showed the map of Zeston. A green dot was beeping in the map, highlighting the location of Lucifer.
The green dot was right at the edge of Zeston.
"Right on the border, huh. It doesn\'t matter."
"Highlight the Warlock Council headquarters as well," he further commanded.
A red dot appeared in the middle of the map.
"What\'s the distance between me and it?" he asked.
A grey line connected the two dots. A number appeared above the line.
"The distance is six hundred and fifty kilometers," the assistant voice echoed in Lucifer\'s head.
"Connect to the phone of Kellian and point out his location. Also, connect a call with him," he commanded again as he started flying towards the Warlock Council Headquarters.
At the same time, a bigger map appeared, highlighting the map of the continent of Triton. A yellow dot highlighted the location of Kellian, who had just entered the continent of Triton. He was advancing towards Zeston.
"Where are you now?" Lucifer asked Kellian as the call was connected.
"I am on a commercial flight. Just entered the Continent of Triton. Do you have the location ready where we\'ll meet?" Kellian answered.
"Are you with everyone else from the team?" Lucifer asked.
"No. We are already out. All of us are taking a different flight to get inside Zeston. We\'ve also inserted our data into their system. We would be considered the citizens of Zeston. No checking," Kellian replied. "At the moment, only Triston is with me."
"What about Milena?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "Why aren\'t you keeping an eye on her?"
"She is with me as well. I was just answering about the members of our original team.?If we talk about our extended team, then Milena and what\'s his name... Ah, yeah Arthur. Milena and Arthur are also traveling with us," Kellian explained.
"Don\'t worry. None of the Nobles are unsupervised," he further added. "So, where are you? Did you reach Triton as well?"
"I am already inside Zeston. I\'m traveling to the main city where the Warlock Council Headquarters is situated. I\'ll send you the location on your phone within minutes. We\'ll meet in that small town which is right at the edge of the main city."
"Understood."
As the call was disconnected, Lucifer tapped on a small town in the holographic map. "Send this location to Kellian."
"Location sent," the assistant answered.
...
Sitting in the passenger flight, Kellian received the location of the meeting.
\'So that\'s the place. Good. Just when I thought we would have to fight without him, he appeared to help us. The Warlock Council is the only strong force that stands in our way! And soon, it\'ll be fine as well. We would control everything and won\'t have to be in conflicts anymore,\' Kellian thought, looking at the time, which wasn\'t far from the Warlock Council headquarters.
He sent the location to other team members as well who were in other places, telling them to find a way to get to the meeting point.
...
All the Uprising Variants were getting close to the Warlock Council for a surprise attack to end the war before it could begin.
And an even bigger threat in the form of Lucifer was also getting closer to the same aim.
The entire Uprising was united. On the contrary, the Warlock Council was never as divided as it was now.
Throughout the days, many meetings had taken place, all ending up in chaos before any decision could be reached.
Today, another such meeting was called, this time called as final.
All the Warlock Leaders were sitting in the meeting Chamber. The meeting hadn\'t started yet as the managing Warlock of the Warlock Council was yet to arrive.
The dark door opened, and an old man stepped inside. He walked to the main chair.
"Greetings to everyone. And thank you for coming back again," the old man said before sitting down.
"Old man, we would still say the same thing. Until you resign and give that post to someone else, we won\'t support anything! It\'s been enough!"
"Yeah! Throughout the years, the Warlock Council was the biggest force! No one dared to even think about opposing us! But under the weight of your decisions, we lost all that reputation! Three of us are dead, and I\'ll give a big credit of that to you!"
"Yeah! We were all saying that we should all attack the Divine Empire! But you and some of your idiots were so stubborn that you didn\'t listen! You sent Andreas! And we all know the result! It wasn\'t Andreas who died but our fear in the mind of our enemies!"
"Agreed! Old man, resign. It would\'ve been fine if it was just one mistake, but you did a second one as well! Instead of attacking Elisium with our full force for them disrespecting us, you sent only two of us there to attack them. And the two ended up dying!" I\'ve never felt this insulted before!"
"Not only did we not get the stones, but we also lost our dignity and respect! You must reign and let a competent person lead!"
"Yes! Resign!"
"Resign!"
One after another, the chants started echoing in the meeting room, trying to force the old man to surrender his seat.
Just like the last meeting, there was once again a man who was lying lazily on his seat with his eyes closed as if he wasn\'t interested in the meeting even now.
"Man, you\'re all like vultures," the man lazily commented.
"Julien, you stay out of it! We\'re not done with you either! It\'s partially your fault as well! You were the one who moved Hanzi, which made him decide to go only with Zhu!"
