Thirty minutes ago...

Kellian had decided to check the floors to kill all the enemies that were left inside. However, unlike Milena who started from the middle floors and Arthur who started from the middle floors, he started from the top floor. 

As a shadow, it wasn't particularly hard for him to find an entry. He checked the entire top floor, only to find it empty. That's what made him decide to check the lower floor. 

He appeared at the floor of Julian and started checking for any life. In the end, he had stepped inside the room where Julien was sleeping. 

Finding a sleeping target, Kellian found himself lucky. He didn't even need to fight. 

He called forth his shadow Sword as he walked closer to Julien. His feet didn't even make any sound. 

Within a second, he reached right beside Julien. He raised his sword, prepared to take out Julien. 

Unfortunately, that's when Julien opened his eyes. Kellian hadn't made much noise but the killing intent of his was enough to alert Julein who enjoyed the benefit of his heightened senses. 

Julien opened his eyes at the same time as he stopped time to understand what was happening and where this killing intent was coming from. 

However as soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself sighing a breath of relief. The Sword of Kellian was only a few inches away from his throat. If he was just a second late, he would have been dead by now. 

"Man, you guys can't even let me sleep, can you?" He moved his body aside before standing up. 

After getting off the bed, he kicked the chest of Kellian, making him fall like a statue.

"Don't mind it. I just want my bed to be dirty after what I'm about to do." 

He took the dark Sword of Kellia, flashing a bright smile on his lips. 

...

Present time...

Milena didn't even know what had happened. For her, time was stopped entirely. She couldn't even see Julien turn back and look at her. All she could do was wait for Julien to free her so she could see what had happened.

Unfortunately, it didn't look like Julien was going to give him a chance. 

Julien didn't know that Milena could use Energy Negation if he freed her, but he was always alert and didn't underestimate his enemies often. 

But there was one more factor. Since time was stopped for Milena and all other enemies of his that he stopped time around, they couldn't know what had happened to them. 

All they could see when they were freed from the time stop was that Julien was standing in a different place which gave them a feeling that he had used teleportation instead. It was a good advantage for Julien. 

The only thing that the enemies could use to get an inkling of what had happened was by checking the clock on their time which could sink with the international time as soon as the time was allowed to flow freely. 

As for the clocks that hung on the wall and weren't connected to other sources, they could only resume time from where they were stopped which again made victims feel like it was teleportation and nothing else.

With all these advantages, Julien was fairly confident in his abilities to take care of himself. 

He observed Milena, even touching her soft cheeks. Milena couldn't even blink. Her face was still filled with the predator look as if she was just about to eat the head of Julien. 

"Such a fierce look doesn't suit this beautiful face of yours," Julien said, smiling. He placed his thumbs around the lips of the lady, raising them to form a smile on Milena's face as if she was toying with them. 

"That looks much better," he commented, satisfied at his work after a nice smile was on the lips of Milena. "Too bad I'll still have to kill you though."

He lazily turned around and started walking towards the Nobles that Milene had turned. 

He stopped before the tens of Nobles. "Meh, they all fell so fast. Then again, I can't blame them."

"Still, it's odd. None of my team members are here. What is this partiality? Were my team members not good for her?" He asked, having fun. "Oh right. They are on higher floors. Meh."

He walked to a Swordsman in the back who was holding a sword in his right hand. He raised his hand and took the sword from the man before turning around. 

After taking the Sword, Julien stepped back. 

"Not bad," he said as his fingers grazed against the sharp edge of the sword. "Time for a real world test."

Swiss~

He swung his sword, straight ahead. As the sword was already sharp and the Nobles before him couldn't move, the sword sliced his head, taking him out. 

Despite being killed, the man couldn't scream as if he was just a statue. His head also stayed in place, not falling over as time stopped in the surrounding area. The blood also didn't splash anywhere. 

The sword itself was only covered in a small amount of blood. 

"It'll work." He smiled as he turned around to face Milena but he didn't walk to her. His face looked like he was thinking about something really grave. 

"If I walk to her, I'll have to come back again to kill the Nobles and then go back to the lift. Too much time will be wasted." He rubbed his chin. "Sigh, why is there so much work for me?"

He couldn't help but shake his head, already feeling tired. "I'll just finish Nobles first and then go to kill her. Straight to the lift behind her and back to kill others. That would be better."

He lazily turned around to face the Nobles that used to be Warlock Council members only until recently. 

...

Lucifer flew straight to the Warlock Council headquarters without thinking about anything. He needed to make sure that Julien wasn't lying. Was Kellian still dead?

He didn't even bother to take the main entrance, instead trying to use the windows to barge inside the room. 

The main problem was that the Formations on the window were still active. And they weren't going to let him enter so easily. He couldn't teleport on the other end either. 

He stopped before the windows but not because he was scared of the Formations. He wanted to attempt something to make his trip faster. 

He raised his head towards the sky as lightning flickered inside his eyes.
