Inhuman Warlock

"Fail to control your anger, and you'll become a slave of it," Caen told Lucifer, advising him about keeping himself in control against the only weakness which Caen found to be too obvious. 

He believed that he wasn't the only one who could guess such a thing. One day, when the time was right, Lucifer's enemies could also use this trick to make him fall for their traps. And by that time, it was going to be too late. 

He believed that Lucifer was a part of their team. And after helping him today, he was certain that Lucifer was going to join their team and help them in achieving their goal. 

Since he was confident that this would eventually happen and Lucifer would become their ally, Caen believed that they were not going to fight against Lucifer. With that thought in mind, he genuinely advised him about his weakness. 

Lucifer heard his words and realized what this man was trying to say. He also felt like there was something about this thing that he needed to think about. If he had listened to his head last time, he might not have fallen into that trap. 

"When I was young, I had no one to advise me as such. I had to learn everything the hard way before I met this organization," Caen said as he glanced at Lucifer. 

"But you're different. You have all of us. And you can most certainly rely on us more. Always expect us to be behind you as your support, just like you'll be behind us to help us. Because that's what family does."

He kept talking calmly, but there seemed something genuine about him this time. As if he really meant every word he said. 

"I understand. I will be careful the next time someone tries it," Lucifer said, nodding. 

Meanwhile, the giant cloud of smoke which had filled the air started getting thinner, bringing more visibility to the two sides. 

The four helicopters could still be seen, flying in a straight line towards the facility.

"He has telekinesis. That is a problem since hard objects like missiles are useless. We'll have to do things ourselves," Yale said, looking in the direction of the helicopters. 

He turned to his left and stared at a woman as a mischievous smile appeared on his face. 

"Eliana, take them down," he told the lady who seemed to be in her early twenties. Her long brown hair was cascading down to her knees, whereas her bangs covered her entire forehead. 

The woman dressed in a white mini dress stepped forward as she nodded her head. 

She raised her hand in the direction of the first helicopter as her eyes started shining in blue light.

Ken had once again peeked out of the helicopter to see what the enemies were trying to do when he saw the woman looking towards him. 

He gently waved his hand with a flirtatious smile on his face, winking at her.

"It doesn't work. There's someone who is preventing my abilities from working on the helicopter," Eliana told Yale. Her eyes returned to normal. 

She had tried to use her powers, and they even worked, but their effect was negligible. 

Eliana had two abilities, both of which were elementals. One of her abilities happened to be Mechanical Disruption. 

Even though it wasn't a high-ranking ability, it was very versatile. With the use of her Mechanical Disruption, she could manipulate any machine from its functions, causing them to stop working for a certain period of time. The ability worked only and only if that machine was within a certain range of her.

After replying to Yale in disappointment, she took a second glance towards Ken, who once again winked at her as he tapped his heart as if he was telling her that he had fallen for her. 

He didn't forget to send her a flying kiss either. 

"That bastard!" Eliana cursed under her breath as she glared at Ken. If stares could kill, Ken would have been dead a hundred times already. 

"Hahaha, it's so fun to tease these people," Ken said as he started laughing. 

"They really think that they are the only ones who have files about enemies. Too bad for them; it's much easier for us to know about them than it is for them to know about us. That's the disadvantage of always being in the open," he added. 

"Ken, we aren't here to play. Focus on the enemies," Dion calmly reminded Ken without even bothering to open his eyes. 

"Alright, alright. I was just having a bit of fun. Anyway, you're right. Time to get to work and be serious," Ken said as the playful look on his face disappeared, replaced by a severe and thoughtful expression. 

…

"Fine. Since we can't get them down the easy way, I'll destroy them myself. Time to get to work and show them what we are capable of," Yale also said the same thing as he clenched his fist. 

He was going to take action himself since there were only two people who had such a long-range of attacks amongst the ones that were present here. 

And only his attack made sense. 

...

Beta squad Vice Captain Yale took a step forward as he took off his heavy jacket and placed it on the ground, revealing his bare hands that weren't very bulky. 

There seemed to be a black tattoo on his right arm, which had three strange characters that were impossible to read. It looked like someone's random doodle, much less like a proper character. 

He was just about to take action when he realized that the helicopter in the lead had fired a few missiles. 

Strangely enough, the direction of the missiles seemed entirely different, as if the one who had fired them didn't know how to aim at all. At the trajectory of the missiles, they were going to walk past the facility. 

That also happened to be the time when Ayn and Xander stepped out.
