Chapter 755

"I won't stop you all from underestimating him if you want, but I would firmly advise against it."

As he talked, turning his back towards Eve, a shadow started rising behind him, slowly creeping closer to the lady who was lying on the bed behind Xaen.

Xaen couldn't see behind him, but still, a smirk crept up his lips.

"There's one more thing I should tell you all about that person," he added.

"What?" Alexi asked.

"He is strong, but he's also a fool at the same time. He lets himself easily be influenced by his emotions, thinking everyone else is an idiot. We can use it against him."

As he spoke, he placed his hand in his pocket.

He pressed a small button in his pocket.

"How can we use it against him?" Mirali raised her head towards Xaen.

"By taking a toy of his and dragging him back to us. It will work, don't you think so? Lucifer?" he asked, looking back.

The shadow of Lucifer that was moving closer to the woman on the bed disappeared as Lucifer came to sight.

"You!" Alexi and Mirali stepped back in surprise, seeing Lucifer.

Even Lucifer looked confused to some extent. He felt something off. He didn't know what it was, but it was as if something was sucking all his energy.

He couldn't even use any of his Ability Cores as whatever bit of their energy he tried to use, it didn't leave his body but was sucked by something else instead.

"No need to be scared of him. That's what I said when I told you that he's a fool," Xaen told Alexi and the others.

"He thought he could steal my Limiters and modify them so I couldn't control them? He learned some really great skills to be able to modify them, but he forgot one thing."

"I am the creator of the Limiters... It's not hard for me to take control of the Limiters again."

He turned to Lucifer, smiling. "Are you shocked or impressed?"

"Let me guess; you're thinking how can the Limiters affect you? Their lightning shouldn't affect you? And they don't work on already running abilities?"

Lucifer didn't answer, but his eyes said everything. He needed answers.

"The Limiters you took, they weren't the old Limiters you were used to. The tens of Limiters you're wearing as an accessory, thinking you'll use them on others when needed? They aren't what you thought they are."

"They are a Prototype of the next Limiter version that I've been creating for a long time since shocking people and making them lose consciousness wasn't the best approach to stop people from using abilities in the campus. It seemed a bit inhumane to some."

"So these things were in the process of creation for a long time. They're still a prototype, but they're as close to the final version as they can be."

"New Limiters?" Alexi asked. It was also the first time he was hearing of such things. Just what things was Xaen doing behind their back?

"They are mostly similar to the old ones. They make you lose consciousness when you use your abilities. To make you lose consciousness, they store some energy and send them to your body as electricity."

" And as you know, if it can supply energy, It can also store energy."

"So it stores whatever bit of energy that comes from the ability cores of the person before it could leave their body in the desired form. It then disperses the energy in nature in a non-destructive form. It's like a pacifier," Xaen let out, stretching his arms.

"Oh, just a reminder. Now it also works on your passive abilities."

"Why didn't you use this in the Academy?" Lucifer asked, observing the tens of Limiters. He didn't even know that he was roaming while wearing the weapon of an enemy.

Xaen simply smirked in response. "I'll leave that for you to figure out."

Lucifer could sense something from his words. If he hadn't used this in the Academy, it just meant he was more confident in the poison.

Either he didn't bring whatever controlled the Limiters, or there was still some flaw in the Limiter that he was yet to solve.

If it was the former, there wasn't much he could gain from that information, but if it was the latter, he just needed to figure out that flaw.

'If I break them, that should be the end of it.'

He placed his hand on the Limiter, trying to crush them, but he couldn't crush them. The Limiters felt very strong. He couldn't even make a dent on them, let alone crush them.

He didn't have much strength as all his strength was being sucked by the Limiter.

Xaen just watched Lucifer, amused.

"Amusing, isn't it? How vulnerable can a person be without his abilities? One moment you were threatening the entire world like the king of the world, and the next minute you couldn't even break a piece of metal. Aren't I right?"

"Without your strength, you aren't nothing but a small kid that doesn't know what he's doing. That's what happens when you start being overconfident about your abilities and stop thinking critically," Xaen said.

Alexi nodded his head. "It seems you didn't put anything you learn in the academy to use. I had a feeling that was going to be the case."

He already understood that Lucifer wasn't thinking clearly. He was more dangerous and stranger than the Alex they used to know, but that strength came at the cost.

Since he was stronger, he didn't need to use his brain that much, which resulted in him ignoring such skills.

Back at the Warlock Council headquarters, Kellian had a deep frown on his face.

He stood tall, wearing a headset on his head as he looked at the screen, which broadcast everything that Lucifer was seeing.

Since Milena was disconnected, Lucifer contacted Kellian instead and was on a call with him just to be sure. At the same time, he was also sending the signals through his glasses as to what he was seeing.

"These Limiters are used against you. Don't worry though. Just stay there. I'll ask Roy to find the flaws in the Limiters. Just keep them busy for a short time!"

He moved to another screen and contacted someone else.

"Roy, you have the sample of New Limiters, right? I want you to open them and understand them thoroughly. Find the flaws in them.. You don't have much time! I need an answer in a few minutes!" He commanded.
