Chapter 501 - 501: What Shall I Do With It?
Lucifer jumped off the wall with Yasmine, who was stunned as Lucifer abruptly embraced her waist. Yasmine never let a person touch her. And even when she did, it was only to touch her hand.
No one had ever touched any other part of her body. It didn't matter if the other person was a girl or a guy.
It was known throughout the land. That's why, even when Arthur had to teleport with her, he only held her hand.
No one knew the reason behind Yasmine's discomfort at being touched, but they respected her wishes. It was an unknown fact that Yasmine was extremely sensitive.
As soon as someone touched her, she started feeling strange inside her body, as if her sensitive spot was touched. It was only acceptable if her hand was touched. Other than that, she was uncomfortable, especially in a place like her waist.
Stunned at suddenly being touched, she was about to push Lucifer back, but before she could, he had already jumped with her. She couldn't push him back now as she was going to fall.
She bit her lower lip, trying to stop herself from making a noise. It was only after the two of them landed on the ground that she finally pushed Lucifer back.
As Lucifer was pushed back, his fingers brushed against Yasmine's skin, making her unable to control anymore.
"Aaah."
Yasmine let out a light moan as she dropped to her knees weakly.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Lucifer asked, confused. He didn't understand why Yasmine was suddenly acting like that. "Do you have a fear of jumps?"
"You idiot! Don't touch me again!"Yasmine responded weakly as she tried standing up, but her knees were still weak.
Lucifer weirdly looked at Yasmine, not understanding anything. What happened to her suddenly?
"Is it because you're shy about a man touching you?" Lucifer asked.
"Nonsense," Yasmine let out firmly.
She placed her hand on the cold soil and pushed her body up to finally stand.
"You're weird," Lucifer muttered, rolling her eyes. "Whatever, hold this."
He gave her his gun.
"What shall I do with a gun?" Yasmine asked as she took the gun, confused.
"He's a bit too confident in his barriers. He thinks he can take care of anything. That's why he's coming alone. But as soon as he comes in your range, he'll know how useless that is. You are to shoot him at that time. You understand?" Lucifer asked. "That would be an easy win."
"I... I don't know how to shoot. I never used such toys," Yasmine responded.
Lucifer scratched the back of his head, annoyed. It was such an easy way out, but she didn't even know how to shoot. He could give her a short tutorial on how to shoot, but there was no time.
"Fine, return it to me." He took the gun. "Just stay with me and leave everything to me. Also, cast your domain right after my command!"
He had already changed the magazine in the gun with the ones that had real bullets. He walked toward Drake, who was still walking alone. For some strange reason, the other team members were casually walking behind Drake.
''So he's their tank. Not bad. Let's see how far their tank can take them," Lucifer muttered as he also walked toward Drake.
Even though Yasmine was slightly hesitant, she walked behind him.
Only a few meters of distance was between the two sides, and it didn't seem like the two sides were enemies. Instead, it seemed like Lucifer and Drake were walking towards each other for a business meeting.
Andreas remained in the sky, watching Lucifer with great interest. He already had an idea as to what was happening. He had seen the lady behind Lucifer destroy the energy swords.
"If I'm not wrong, that girl can destroy energy in her surroundings. But just to be careful, let's assume that she can make all attacks around her ineffective. That would explain why the man beside her is walking with a gun in his hand," Andreas said softly.
"Moreover, from her previous actions, we can also assume that her abilities only work in her surroundings. Otherwise, they wouldn't have teleported her near the sword. You understand, right? It's a trap."
Andreas kept talking to himself from what it looked like, but in reality, there was a Warlock amongst them who established a link between all of them.
Because of that, Andreas was able to broadcast his words to others. Moreover, he could also hear the words of others. He wasn't just talking about this place to himself. Instead, he was telling others.
At the moment, everyone knew about this plan, including Drake, who was walking to them.
"They want to come close to you, to make your barrier ineffective and shoot you. It looks like they underestimate us too much," Andreas continued.
"Zhan, time for you to get to work. And Drake, don't get closer. Try to stop them in their path while maintaining your distance," he continued.
As soon as he spoke, Drake stopped. The others also stopped behind him, however before he could do anything, his lips opened in surprise.
"Yasmine, now!"
"But they're too far! Not in my range!"
"I told you now!" Lucifer repeated.
Yasmine nodded and cast her domain in her surroundings.
Frowning, Drake tried using his barrier to test if it was working. A barrier appeared before him.
"It works," Drake muttered, frowning. "Were they trying to create a smokescreen?"
Drake and everyone else was focused on Lucifer and what he was trying to do. None of them realized that there was another person they needed to keep an eye on.
It was Andreas who took a casual glance towards the wall, feeling something wrong.
However, as soon as he looked at the wall, his face turned weird.
"Drake, it's a distraction! Protect yourself from all sid-" Andreas commanded, however before his words could even reach Drake, it happened.
A man appeared behind Drake, happening to be none other than Arthur.
Arthur placed his hand on Drake's shoulder before anyone could know it. He disappeared but not alone. He took Drake with him.
Just like he had taken Yasmine, this time Arthur took Drake right in front of everyone. He appeared behind Lucifer, who raised his gun without even looking back.
And the aim of the gun happened to be so perfect that it rested right in the direction of Drake's head.
Bam~
Lucifer pressed the trigger.
Drake tried casting his barrier; however, nothing came to his defense.. The Warlock with the strongest defense happened to be so useless that he died from an ordinary bullet.
