Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 735

"I can't understand it. They killed your brother. How are you still thinking so calmly?"

"He killed my brother. Will acting rashly bring my brother back?" Jian asked, shaking his head. "I want to kill him, and I want to make sure it happens in the most efficient way possible that leaves no room for his escape."

He wanted revenge, but he also wasn't stern enough to think that he must have revenge now and take it personally. He was very patient when it came to such things.

It was also why he made such an elaborate plan to have Zale and Clarisse killed, leaving no room for mistakes. Even though it took him a lot of years, he was successful in killing one of the strongest Warlocks without even having to fight.

"Moreover, I believe those two will keep the guy busy," he further added, glancing in the direction Altantis Warriors went in.

"You think they can succeed in killing him?"

"Who knows. But I could see that they weren't scared even after seeing the strength of the guy. I believe they have confidence, so it's better to have confidence in them as well."

" In any case, both outcomes are good for us. They can either kill him or at least keep him distracted while we recapture the headquarters."

"Are you all prepared to do it?" he asked his men.

Hidden in the back, Kellian heard everything that was being talked about. Instead of following the people from Atlantis, he preferred to stay with Kellian

He already knew where the Atlantis Minister was going to go. There was no need to follow. What was more concerning were Jian and his men, who could've hid anywhere.

"So you want to attack this place." Back at the Warlock Council headquarters, Kellian was walking back and forth, frowning.

He had expected a distant possibility of being attacked, but he didn't expect it to happen this fast. The entire city was almost empty. They barely had a few people since everyone else had gone on a separate mission.

He rubbed his chin, glancing out the window. "This just became a big mess."

The Warlock Council remnants were prepared to face Milena and others, but if they knew that even Milena and her strongest Generals weren't at the capital, they would've been much more happy.

"Even if I tell others to come back, it'll take much longer. By the time they are here, the battle would already be over," he said as if talking to himself.

"What can I do to delay them? Ah, wait. Caen!" he abruptly exclaimed.

Since Caen was only good at disguise, he hadn't been a big part of the battles. He wasn't even given much of a mission this time. He was back at the Warlock Council headquarters.

He pressed a button on the wall. "Caen, come into my room this instant."

....

Back at Elisi, Jian finished telling his plan before he noticed something odd.

His shadow seemed much darker than the shadows of the others here, which was odd.

He pulled out his sword and stabbed his shadow behind him. He was so fast while using his sword that by the time people could look at his reaction, his sword was already stabbed in the group.

A dark energy penetrated the ground, setting the ground on fire. As soon as Jian pulled out his sword, the fire stopped. There was no mark left behind on the ground.

No one could've guessed that the ground was burning just a few moments ago if they were to look at it now. There were no scorching marks left behind.

The shadow of Jian was much lighter now, matching the tone of others' shadows.

"Interesting," Jian muttered, amused.

"What?" Everyone looked at Jian, wondering what he was talking about. Why did he suddenly attack the ground?

"Someone was spying on us, I believe. That person was using a shadow. Not bad," Jian said.

"The people that just left?"

"I don't think so. If I'm not wrong, it was the shadow of the person who misguided those two about us. In other words, it was the shadow of someone from the Uprising who sent it with them to keep an eye on them." Jian kept the sword back in its sheath.

"You mean they know our plan now. We can't infiltrate Zeston now."

"Nope. On the contrary, this is the right time to do it. They will know that we know about their spying. If I were in their place, I would've also thought that the other side would change their plan and go into hiding now that their plan was out," Jian said.

"They'll think we will change the plan now and won't attack since it would be suicidal now. That's why it's the perfect time to do it!"

"I agree with Jian. He's right."

"I am on the fence about it, but if you all believe it's right, I guess I'll go along as well."

"I'm in too."

Slowly, everyone supported the plan, telling Jian to lead.

...

Kellian's shadow was destroyed. Generally, that wouldn't have hurt him since it was an ordinary shadow that was barely linked to him, but it was somehow different.

Kellian held his chest as extreme pain engulfed him. He had a hard time breathing as he dropped to the ground. It was as if someone had burnt his heart in the fire of hell.

Caen opened the door and stepped inside, only to find a pale-faced Kellian on the ground.

He ran to Kellian and placed his hand on his back. "Are you fine? What happened?"

He picked a glass of water and placed it before Kellian. "Drink some water. You'll feel better."

Kellian took the glass and took a few sips as he rubbed his chest with his other hand.

"I am fine, just a bit of weakness," he told Caen as he weakly stood up.

Caen supported him, taking him to a chair.

"They know," Kellian said after sitting on the chair.

"Who knows what?"

"The remnant leaders of the Warlock Council. They are all together, scheming against us. They know Lucifer isn't here. They were planning to attack us. They also knew my shadow was spying on them. They destroyed it."

"Is it the aftermath of your shadow being destroyed? I don't think something like this has happened before. Don't tell me it's because you're weaker now that your main body was destroyed?"

"That's not the case. No matter how weak I am, a shadow's destruction shouldn't have affected me. It was something about that Sword of Jian and the fire.. It somehow found me through the link and managed to hurt me here before I cut the connection."
