Inhuman Warlock

Even his own lightning attacks disappeared as soon as they reached Andreas.

Even though the lightning attacks weren't working on Andreas, they continued creating destruction in the Warzone. 

Only the Warlocks that were still on the field knew how chaotic the lightning was. They couldn't even focus on fighting Duke without having to worry about the lightning falling on their heads. 

The laser of Duke was a problem on its own, mixed with his agility and his flying skills. 

...

Arthur flew five kilometers away from the battlefield before trying to use his teleportation, but it still didn't work. 

"It's not a domain skill. What happened to me?" he wondered, frowning. 

"Whatever. So what if I can't use Teleportation! I can't leave the battlefield!"

He started flying back. 

As he flew back to the battlefield, he noticed the battle of Andreas and Lucifer, which had just begun. He could see Andreas Teleporting similar to how he used to do. Moreover, he could also see Lucifer's lightning disappear as soon as it reached the vicinity of Andreas. 

He recognized both the abilities. One was his own Teleportation, while the other was Yasmine's Energy Negation. 

"He stole our powers? Are they not working because of him? That Bastard!"

Arthur increased his speed and started flying towards Andreas instead. 

Screech~

Before he could even fly closer, a screeching sound filled the place. Arthur was forced to close his ears, pained from the sound which was no less than an attack. His ears also started bleeding. 

Massive bone claws came out of the ground, seemingly belonging to a giant. 

The bone claws reached out towards Arthur, grabbing him in their palm. 

Another bone claw stepped out of the ground before a skeleton head also popped out. Soon, an entirely massive skeleton came out from the ground. 

The ten-meter-tall skeleton was a giant who was holding Arthur in his palm, trying to squeeze him. However, Arthur was resisting the fist, stopping him from closing entirely. 

"Hmm?"

Duke noticed the situation of Arthur. He changed his target and fired a laser towards the skeleton. 

The bright red laser hit the wrist of the giant skeleton, breaking it apart. The left claw of the skeleton fell down. 

Freed, Arthur flew out. He looked towards Duke to thank him; however, he saw something else. 

"Watch out!" he screamed; however, he was too late.

A flaming sword was already too close to him, about to hit his forehead. He had no way to escape. 

As if giving up, Duke closed his eyes as he muttered, "May the Divine Empire remain victorious!"

"Huh?"

He had expected a painful ending, but the pain didn't come. He slowly opened his eyes as he peeked. 

"What?" As his eyes opened, he found himself stunned. There was a barrier protecting him from all sides. 

Attacks kept landing on the barrier, unable to even leave a scratch. 

"Who did this?" he muttered, but he soon noticed Drake standing on the ground, despite being dead. 

"Dead brought back to life? Who did it? If it were Her Majesty, his wound would have healed. And an enemy wouldn't bring him back to life to help me. Does that mean Lucifer?" He muttered, glancing upwards in the direction of Lucifer. 

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion took place, filling the place where Drake was standing in a cloud of fire. 

"Look! That's the collar taking effect! Fortunately! I thought it was malfunctioning!"

"That's good! I didn't want to face Drake as an enemy! These bastards won't have a defense now!"

Seeing the explosion, the happiest people were none other than the Warlock Council members. 

All of them had worn the explosive collars that were to blow up their heads so they couldn't be brought back to life by Milena after that. 

Even though Milena wasn't here, the principal behind him coming back to life seemed the same. So the blown head was supposed to take Drake down. 

The cloud of flame soon disappeared, leaving a headless body of Drake standing in its place.

Despite not possessing a head and shoulders, Drake still remained standing like an ugly corpse. 

Moreover, his barrier was still effective, surrounding him. 

His only command was to keep himself safe and to help others whenever they were in need. So he had cast a barrier around himself and was helping Lucifer and others. 

Seeing the headless Drake, even Duke was weirded out. Just what kind of ability was it? Even Milena couldn't bring back a corpse like that to life. How was Lucifer able to?

Even Arthur was surprised at what he saw. Previously, he was relieved that Duke managed to survive, but his pleasure soon changed to shock after seeing Drake. 

The screeching sound came again from the Skeleton, which again attacked Arthur with his right hand, which was still intact. 

"Can't be distracted!" Arthur repeated as he started flying towards the head of the skeleton. 

The skeleton waved his hand to catch Arthur, but he wasn't able to guess the swift movement trajectory of Arthur, who avoided all the attempts of the skeleton. 

He reached the skull and packed his fist, and thrust his fist forward. 

Boom!

Arthur dropped to the ground brutally before he could even land his punch. A sudden force had landed on his body, which pushed him towards the ground. 

As Arthur crashed on the ground, a crater appeared under him. He tried pushing his body up; however, that incredible force didn't let him. 

The skeleton raised his right foot and stomped on Arthur. 

"Heh, there goes another." A chubby man chuckled in the distance, watching the skeleton stomp Arthur. 

He was the person who had brought Arthur down to the ground with his powers. After finishing Arthur, he shifted his attention to Duke. 

"Huh?"

As soon as he looked at Duke, his eyes widened. He saw a red beam of light come towards him. He tried dodging to the side, but it was too late. The mean penetrated through his head, leaving a big hole in his face. 

Duke attacked the foot of the skeleton as well, concerned about Arthur. He left everything else behind. Nothing else was important at the moment. 

Only five Warlocks had remained behind. Others had gone to invade the city.

Amongst the five, one was controlling the massive skeleton. The second was just killed by Duke, leaving only three more, excluding Andreas. 

Lucifer's side also had three, from what it seemed. Duke was still alive. They also had Drake, who was stopping the attack of the three Warlocks from reaching Duke. And lastly, there was Arthur, whose life or death was unknown. 

The skeleton raised his foot, prepared to stomp again.

Boom!

A person came flying from a distance, crashing on the skeleton's chest. 

Breaking the bones of the skeleton, the person crashed on the ground.
