Chapter 507 - 507: Third Slot
Andreas raised his right hand and changed them to claws which were similar to Lucifer's claws.
"And there goes the third slot," he muttered, smirking.
"Strange. I took his power. But why can't I control the men he brought back to life?"
He tried using the ability he had stolen from Lucifer to control the men, but he wasn't able to.
It didn't matter if he had stolen the power from Lucifer temporarily. The parasites were sent by Lucifer, and they were still connected to him.
Andreas could use that power on others, but he couldn't wrestle the control of the ones that Lucifer had controlled.
Lucifer also checked his hands. He couldn't use that ability of his anymore. But he still wasn't surprised. He had already expected that much. However, he was really curious about the ability of Andreas.
How was he able to steal abilities? And if he could, why didn't he steal all the abilities at once? Why was he so selective?
'He can probably steal a limited number. And he appeared really unwilling to use it on me before, saying he was saving it for Milena. If I'm not wrong, then he can only steal three...' Lucifer thought, glancing at Andreas, who kept dodging the attack.
He wanted to use his claws on Duke and the others, but Derek's barrier kept creating an obstruction for him. Whenever he tried attacking the Nobles, that barrier appeared to stop his attack.
He still wasn't overwhelmed as he had an idea. He still hadn't used his energy negation. He was sure that he could stop the barrier with that. Moreover, then he could stab the Nobles with his claws to turn them.
Both his hands were in the form of claws as he avoided the attacks again, making everyone forget for a moment that he had energy negation. He Teleported in front of Duke and thrust his claws ahead.
The barrier appeared again, but before his claws could hit the barrier, he used his energy negation. At the same time, Duke used his laser; however, the energy negation worked on it too. The laser disappeared into thin air as the claws kept closing in on Duke.
The undead that was standing far away also attacked, but their attacks also disappeared.
Duke applied pressure on his legs to push himself back to avoid the attack, but it appeared to be too late. The claws reached his chest, penetrating the shirt and thrusting ahead.
The sharp claws had entered half an inch inside the chest of Duke, which made his eyes widen in pain.
Arthur was standing close to Duke. He flew towards him, but he appeared to be late as well.
The hand didn't go any further and stopped there.
"That should be all." A calm voice fell in Duke's ears.
Duke moved back, letting the claws leave his chest while looking sideways at Lucifer, who was grabbing onto the wrist of Andreas.
There was only one thought in his head. 'Fast!'
He was amazed at how fast Lucifer reached there. The last time he saw Lucifer, he was standing far away. But he was able to get there at the speed of lightning, stopping the attack at the right time.
"You!" Andreas exclaimed, stunned that Lucifer was there so fast. Moreover, something was wrong. He didn't know what it was, but he could feel his skin burn as soon as Lucifer's hand touched his wrist.
And this burning sensation was spreading all over his body. A pain was also spreading inside his body which appeared to have started getting old.
Andreas didn't know that Lucifer had this power since he hadn't used it from the start, but it appeared to be something that passed through his energy negation! He couldn't stop it. He could still try Teleportation, but he decided against it.
He made up his mind to make Lucifer his slave by using his own ability. He stabbed his sharp claws in Lucifer's chest, which was unprotected as he had his cloak open.
The hand stabbed his chest and started leaving a parasite inside his body. Strangely, the parasite didn't affect him this time. It was even weaker than last time.
"So you can steal abilities but the weaker version. I'm disappointed," Lucifer muttered, shaking his head. With this, he didn't even need to be in a hurry to get the parasite out since it was already too weak.
Instead, he used his other hand to grab the throat of Andreas firmly.
Unable to take it anymore, Andreas Teleported away, but he was already very weak. He looked like a sixty year old man with wrinkled skin until his young self.
"Will you keep running all the time?" Lucifer asked, shaking his head. He stabbed his hand inside his chest and grabbed the parasite before crushing it. He brought his bloodied hand out of his chest, leaving a gaping hole. The hole closed slowly.
Andreas's face looked ugly in frustration as he saw the wound heal. It appeared that lightning, flying, and making others his slave weren't his only abilities.
Lucifer glanced towards Arthur, who was also looking shocked. "Your Teleportation is really an ugly ability. It's so frustrating,"
Arthur didn't reply. He remained shocked at Lucifer's healing. It was faster than his own ability for some reason. Just what exactly was he?
All the Warlocks that were still alive had already jumped inside the city, leaving only Andreas behind, who was still alive. All the others were dead and turned to enemies.
Moreover, his own condition wasn't good at all. He found himself trapped in this place. He couldn't get any advantage over the enemies. At best, he could only Teleport.
He was starting to regret the abilities he had stolen. He believed that he shouldn't have stolen the revival skill of Lucifer since it didn't appear to work as he thought.
Moreover, the Teleportation was good, but it wasn't working either. Derek was spoiling it.
As for his Energy Negation, it was a good defensive skill, but it was useless if it couldn't stop that decay and other such skills.
"I'm getting bored here. This stalemate isn't fun. I'll be going. You guys play amongst yourself," he calmly said before he disappeared.
"Running away?" Arthur asked, hearing the words.
Lucifer looked around, wondering where Andreas was. Did he actually run away?
As he looked back, he saw Andreas flying towards the city instead.
"Since he can't defeat us, he wants to fight inside the city. Probably to kill some people and get some self confidence," Duke commented.
He squinted his eyes, firing a red laser towards Andreas, but the laser disappeared as soon as it reached him. "That freaking energy negation!"
"Leave it.. Lucifer is going after him personally," Arthur chimed in, pointing towards Lucifer, who was already on the trail of Andreas.
