Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 776

"It's not the time to think what would've happened. The enemy is inside our stronghold. And if Uzuki's assumption is correct, there were five of them. One of them was killed by Uzuki, leaving only four."

Kellian observed the screen as he talked. The screen showed the information of the five Warlock Council heads that weren't in the city during the first assault on the city.

The screen showed all their abilities that were known, but there was no mention of invisibility in the system.

" We only know some of their abilities that they didn't hide, but we can see that they have more abilities. All four of them are very strong. If I'm not wrong, the invisibility is being brought by one of them. If we can take him out, we can remove all of them easily," he continued.

"At the moment, the headquarters is sealed. We left no point of entry. They can't enter even if they're invisible. The only way anyone will go outside is through my teleportation," Arthur took a step forth.

"We know they are hiding in the city somewhere, waiting to attack us," Kellian said. "They have patience but so do we. No one would leave the headquarters without my permission. Only the ones who are capable enough to face invisible enemies would be sent out."

"Also, as soon as they run out of their patience, they'll have to come out in the open or attack this headquarters. We aren't in a race against time; they are. The more time we get before this battle, the better since Lucifer and Milena will be back soon."

"The best attack against them at this point would be to do nothing. Moreover, if they attack us in the headquarters, we have her. She can use Energy Negation. That should be able to disrupt the invisibility cloak."

"Are you all understand what I'm saying?"

"Yeah, we need to stay put." Arthur affirmed, confirming the plan as the momentary leader of the Nobles in the absence of Milena.

...

In another corner of the city, Jian and his two friends were sitting in a bar that was closed. The shutter of the bar was down, yet the owner kept it open for the Warlock Council members, making it their base where they could hide.

"That person had some really good reflexes. He was able to fight us even without seeing us," Aron said, taking a long sip.

He had stopped using his shroud, making everyone visible.

"He was just lucky. If that obstruction hadn't arrived in his room, he would've been long dead. That bastard sure was lucky," Uri responded with contempt.

"I would kill that bastard when I see him next time!" he further added.

"He was lucky, but what about us? What are we going to do now? They know we are here. They also know who we are and how many of us are there. This mission isn't a stealth mission anymore." Aron brought the topic back to the main point.

"Moreover, they had sealed themselves in our headquarters. I went there to take a look around. They have sealed every place. We can't enter without destroying a wall or alerting them," he continued.

"Doesn't that mean they are just scared?" Uri enquired. "It means we are on the right track. They don't have the strength to face us. We should just attack and destroy them!"

"What do you think Jian?"

Jian had finished ten bottles already, yet his eyes looked sober. "They aren't scared. They are just wasting time."

"Wasting time! What?"

"Can't you see? Even after they know we are here; we don't see Lucifer or Milena looking for us? With the kind of firepower those two have, they wouldn't be hiding if they were here."

"My suspicion was correct. The two strongest Warlocks of theirs aren't here. As for why the rest have locked themselves in the headquarters is because they are waiting for Lucifer and Milena to return before mounting a full assault on us."

"I'm sure Lucifer and Milena must be on their way back. If they were going to take a long time to return, these guys wouldn't have chosen to wait. Instead, they would've decided to face us themselves."

"That means Lucifer is going to be here soon? Then can we afford to wait?" Uri asked.

"We can't. And I'm sure they know we are desperate for time. That's why they've probably set up an ambush for us already. The moment we attack, we would fall into their trap."

"But we can't sit back and waste time either. So we only have one option."

"What option?"

"We need a distraction."

"Distraction? You mean to bring them out!"

"Yeah. We need a distraction that's big enough to force all of them out of their bill."

"What distraction can we use? It's not like we can attack the civilians? Even if we do, they won't come out. And as you said, if we attack the headquarters, it'll be like falling into a trap? Then what distraction?"

"The same distraction they planned for us," Jian said, stretching his arms. "They did a worldwide broadcast; shouldn't we reply with the same?"

"You mean you'll do a worldwide broadcast as well?" Uri asked, stunned.

"Yep. Uprising holds their reputation dear. If we attack their reputation, they'll be forced to come out. And what better way than this?" Jian asked.

"They just declared that the city is under their control. But now the city doesn't have even a single one of them. We can do whatever we want."

" So I will do the broadcast. Aron, you can handle the technical side. We'll show the world what a coward this Uprising is."

"All we need is a little fire, and then we can enjoy the show."

"However, all of us won't be there. Only I and Aron will be there. The two of you will mount an assault at the headquarters after we attract their big guns out. Do you understand?"

Uri and Roy nodded, agreeing with the plan.

"Since Uprising knows all of us are invisible, they won't find it odd that you two are here. They'll just think that you're hiding nearby. It'll keep them wary and would help us more."

"We need to make our disadvantage an advantage and win this battle of wits before Lucifer and Milena come, and we need to do it at any cost. Do you understand? There should be no mistake at all."

"Don't worry; we'll handle everything. Bring most of them out, and I'll enter the base.. I will take the headquarters system under my control, and we can bring those things out of the headquarters as well. It'll be our victory!"
