"Cough!"

Andreas stood up and rubbed his chest while coughing. 

The person who had crashed happened to be none other than Andreas. He was also the one who passed through the skeleton, breaking it. 

"That was impressive," he muttered as he finally stopped coughing. 

"Strength which is much superior then the strength of the infected. It should be your ability, if I'm not wrong. That is actually very intriguing. Because if I'm not wrong, our other enemy also has similar abilities," he added. 

Lucifer also came flying. He grabbed the eye socket of the skeleton before tossing it aside. He landed near the crater of Arthur. 

"Are you alright?" he asked Arthur.

"What does it look like?" Arthur asked as he stood up. 

"Your nose is bleeding. So I suppose you're not fine. Anyway, it seems like you lost your Teleportation ability?"

"My wounds would soon heal. But how did you know about my Teleportation?" Arthur asked. 

"Because I already told him that I took it," Andreas said as he Teleported right behind Arthur. 

Lucifer also moved, knowing that Andreas was going to do something like this. After their back and forth, he had a general idea of Andreas's mindset. That's also how he was able to land an attack on Arthur. 

He had also expected Andreas to be heavily injured from his attack, but he still seemed mostly fine. 

Andreas attacked Arthur with his claws. In the meantime, Lucifer appeared in the middle of the two, changing his hand to claws too. 

Instead of saving Arthur, he attacked Andreas as well.

His claw happened to be at the same distance from Arthur's neck as Lucifer's claw was from his chest. 

Andreas Teleported before he could be hit. But at the same time, he also missed the chance of landing an attack. 

Andreas was one of the leaders of the Warlock Council, but not because of his powerful abilities, but mostly because of how useful and dangerous his abilities were in a battle. 

He had a variety of abilities. One of those abilities was that he was able to control wind like Lucifer because of his wings. He was also the person who helped his men land safely on the ground. 

His other ability was that his body had a powerful defense. He was able to take powerful attacks without being killed instantly. He didn't have any superior strength, but he had a third ability which made him a real threat. 

His third ability was known as ability theft. 

With that ability, he was able to steal any three abilities from his enemies and stack them to his own, but his ability also came with a few limitations. 

He wasn't able to steal more than three abilities in a day. Moreover, he couldn't keep the three abilities he stole for more than a day. At the end of the day, the abilities returned to their rightful owners. Moreover, he couldn't steal those abilities again. 

There was one more limitation to his powers, which was that he could only steal abilities that were used before him. 

Since he saw Arthur and Yasmine use their abilities, he was pretty pleased. He understood that those two were powerful abilities. That's why he stole those two abilities. 

As for his third slot, he was saving it for Milena. He wanted to wait until he met Milena to steal her ability of turning corpses into undead. 

Unfortunately for him, Milena wasn't here. 

Even though Milena wasn't here, he knew that Milena was probably inside the Empire. He kept his third slot reserved for Milena, who could change the entire battle with her ability. 

That's also why he wasn't taking any of Lucifer's abilities since they were a waste for him. Even though he was intrigued about the ability to make lightning fall from the cloud, that wasn't as good as Energy Negation. 

No lighting could hurt him as long as he had Energy Negation. Moreover, he had Teleportation, which was perfect for the battlefield. 

However, despite all that, Lucifer was creating trouble for him. For some reason, he was able to stop Andreas. It was as if he could read minds and knew where Andreas was going to appear. 

Andreas rubbed the back of his head in frustration. "You know, you're really making me upset."

He was also upset for losing Drake at the start. That was the most frustrating for him. Not only that but Drake was now being used against their own side. 

"It's just the start," Lucifer muttered as he moved again. 

He flew towards Andreas. 

"You can never hurt me. Teleportation is enough for you. And energy negation is enough for your lightning," Andreas lazily said. "But who is to save your friends?"

Andreas again attacked Arthur, but this time he was stopped by Drake's barrier. The barrier not only surrounded Arthur, but it also surrounded Duke. 

"Who told you I was looking to hurt you?" Lucifer asked as he smirked. 

Drake started attacking with his barrier. He didn't just attack Andreas but also trapped his teammates.

In the meantime, Lucifer kept flying in the field, stabbing the chest of all the dead Warlocks. 

"That should be enough," Lucifer muttered as he finally stopped. He stretched his arms, smiling. 

"Wake up, my brave men!" He called out, spreading his arms. 

On his call, all the dead started rising. All the Warlock Council members who had died on the battlefield stood up, returning as the warrior of Lucifer. A parasite remained inside the heart of every single one of them. 

"You!!!"

Andreas's face turned red in frustration. He was worried about Milena using his men. That's why he made those collars, but now Lucifer was using them. And these collars were useless. 

All the headless bodies were standing. 

Most of them had surrounded the three Warlocks that were trapped by the barriers. 

Drake removed the barrier that was keeping them trapped, letting all the attacks land on the Warlock Council members. 

The Warlock who could control the Skeleton was the first one to die as his head was sliced by a flying sword. 

The second Warlock was forced to his knees by powerful gravity before a ball of fire landed on his face, killing him. 

The third Warlock was killed by a bone spur that came out of the ground, impaling him. 

"You were saying something?" Lucifer asked Andreas, smirking. "Now, we shall see how far your Teleportation can take you."

"You know, I was saving the third slot for Milena. But I think I'll use it on you now.. That ability seems pretty good," Andreas responded.
