Chapter 535 - 535: Snatching

Three seconds were over as well, completing five minutes and the challenge of Lucifer, but at this point, that wasn't the goal. The goal now was something different.

Lucifer's right hand changed to the claws. He thrust his claws in the stomach of the Black Dragon. The Dragon looked like a shadow, but that was his real skin.

The pain of being stabbed made the Dragon go even crazier. He also stabbed his claws in Lucifer's chest.

Lucifer continued screeching, not because of pain. He didn't care that he was stabbed. He was, however, waiting for something else. Only after five more minutes did he stop.

The Dragon also stopped as his eyes turned blank.

"Take your hand out," Lucifer commanded.

The Dragon pulled his hand back, leaving a big hole in Lucifer's chest, which started healing.

Zhu was stunned to see his dragon listen to the command of another person.

"Kill him, big guy!" He yelled. The dragon ignored him.

"I think I should thank you for giving me this gift. I always wanted a beast that could fly. You solved that problem," Lucifer smiled, glancing at Zhu.

"You! What did you do to my Summoned Beast!"

"I did nothing. I just made it mine. Also, five minutes are over. But then again, I don't really need your permission to let my men leave. I can simply kill you myself.?I was just wondering what to do with your beasts. I have an answer to that question now."

"You played a game last time. It's my turn to play a hand. Five minutes. You have five minutes. If you can survive, I'll let you have the beast back."

Zhu's frown deepened. This guy was actually mocking him? Did he really think it was hard for him to survive for five minutes? He had the Snake for protection. If he wanted, he could also teleport away and return after five minutes.

He didn't know what Lucifer did to take his beast, but he didn't need to take it in. He couldn't let the Dragon be in Lucifer's control.

"I would've loved to play this game, but I don't have to. I would've been fine with my men dead, but I can't let you take my beast.?Time to change the past so I couldn't make the same mistake."

He brought his finger down to tap the head of the cat. Lucifer already expected that as well. He had noticed that the man tapped the head of the cat as a signal for her to use her powers. He was sure he was going to have her reverse time like that as well.

Before the fingers of Zhu could land on the head of the man, Lucifer started yelling again, using the same screeching power. The cat and the snake again started struggling restlessly with the noise.

Zhu rapped the head of the cat, but nothing happened. The cat didn't look like it was in the mood to think about anything else since it was in extreme discomfort.

This time, the Dragon wasn't struggling though. His mind was asleep, and it didn't bother him since he was in Lucifer's control.

The Dragon started flying towards Zhu.

"W-what! Don't you dare attack me! I'm your master!" Zhu yelled hysterically as he stepped back.

"Cast the barrier!" He commanded the snake as he didn't see the dragon stop. As the screeching continued, the Snake didn't listen either. Without it, Zhu had nothing. He didn't have an attack or defense of his own. Without his beasts, he was mostly an ordinary human.

He started running back, only hoping that the Snake would cast the barrier in an emergency. In the meantime, he continued calling the snake and the cat again and again, but no one listened.

Slash!

The Dagon reached Zhu and swung his claws towards Zhu, who was cowardly running.?It hadn't even been one minute before the head of the Zhu dropped on the ground.

Soon, his body also followed suit, dropping with a thud.

Lucifer didn't want the cat to reverse time to bring its master back, so he continued screeching as he flew towards the body of Zhu.

The cat and the snake rolled on the ground even more crazily as Lucifer reached the beasts. The first thing he did was turn both his hands into a claw. He stabbed one in the summoned cat and the other in the Summoned Snake.

Only after he saw them stop moving did he bring his claws out.

"That takes care of things."

He turned around, looking at the men. "Get in the helicopter and go back to the base."

"And you?"

"I'll come back later. I have some things to do."

"What about the girl?"

"Leave her behind. I'll bring her back too."

After some clarifications, Kellian nodded and went back to the helicopter with the others.

The Warlock Council members left in the helicopter while Salazar remained behind.

"Did you already know that it was the answer to take him out? Or was it luck?" Salazar stepped closer to Lucifer.

"I had a feeling. I wasn't sure if it was actually going to work. I studied a bit about tamers. The Variants who can use noise work great against them since most Summoned Beasts can't bear the noise. Of course, that's not the case with all beasts."

"So you took a risk that played out."

"I guess you can say that. But even if it hadn't worked, I had other ways. The only problem was this little cat. If this plan hadn't worked, this cat would've been troublesome."

"In fact, I'm not even sure if what I'm trying to do will work or not."

"And what is it that you're trying to do?"

"Three minutes... After three minutes of the death of the summoner, the beasts disappear. I'm wondering if I can keep them here since they're under my control. If it works, it'll be great."

Lucifer kept looking at his clock as he talked.

He observed the three Summoned Beasts. "You three aren't allowed to leave."

The beasts nodded.

The time continued trickling away.

"Five seconds."

"Four."

"Don't leave, right? Remember that!"

"Two..."

"One..."

As soon as Lucifer finished the count, he started frowning. A Summoning Circle had appeared under all three of his beasts.

The beasts were resisting as per his commands but looked like they were losing the battle.

"They can't do it. I'll need to help them, it seems."

He reached out his hand and touched the summoning circle that was trying to take his beasts back.

He thought he would be able to decrease the power of the circle with his decay, but he hadn't expected that it was going to be something different.

The three beasts disappeared, and they weren't alone. Lucifer was also sucked by the Summoning Circle.. They all disappeared.
