Chapter 636 - 636: Absolute Time
"So, are you coming to take his body... Oops, I mean, are you coming to take back his pieces or not. I'll leave his body in my bedroom for your convenience. On the second highest floor," Julien said.
"I'll leave the door open," he added. "Don't worry though. I won't be in my room. You don't have to worry about your safety."
"Since I'm already up, I might as well clean the building of ours. So take his pieces out before I return. You have twenty minutes of free reign before I return."
Beep~
As soon as Julien finished speaking, he disconnected the call and tossed the phone away.
His mood was really bad as he had to wake up in the middle of his sleep after sensing danger. He couldn't believe that he wasn't even allowed to sleep peacefully.
Since he didn't want anyone to disturb him again, he decided to end all the commotion himself. It was time for him to get to work.
Just as Lucifer was confident about his ability and wasn't scared of anyone, the same was the case for Julien. In fact, his confidence was even more than Lucifer's since he had never suffered a setback in his life.
Julien was the scariest Warlock of the Warlock Council and also the reason Andrim was still in the post of the Warlock Council head.
The other Warlocks didn't show any fear of Julien, but deep down, they actually respected him for his abilities. But more than respect, they felt jealous of his abilities as they thought he was just lucky.
There was often a war of words between Julien and the others, but in the end, most people actually listened to the ideas of Julien. That was when Julien didn't show his abilities. It was different now.
He was actually going to take things seriously so he could get back to his lazy routine without being disturbed.
At the same time, there was another monster that was someone people listened to. It was Lucifer who was flying towards the Warlock Council headquarters.
Lucifer was feeling enraged. He didn't understand who this person was! Not only did he claim to kill Kellian, but he was also so arrogant.
He couldn't understand how any Ordinary Warlock could create trouble for Kellian! And where was Milena when Kellian needed her! He had specially sent her to help him. He couldn't believe that she had left him alone!
Two Warlocks... Both were leaders in their own fields, and both were considered someone who could take out any threat. And both of them were heading to a path where only one could be left alive.
Lucifer didn't realize how Julien might have killed Kellian. He didn't know that Julien had the power to stop even time. It was an ability that made even the strongest of power useless.
When a person was stopped in time, it didn't matter how much strength he had. It didn't matter if he could destroy mountains with a punch or kill millions in an instant. Everything was useless. Only time was absolute!
And the time was siding with Julien.
Julien picked up a robe and wrapped itself around his shoulders before leaving his room.
He stepped inside the lift, which went down.
The lift went straight to the floor, which had the defense room. He needed to find what was happening there through the direct feed of all the rooms that could only be accessed from there.
As he reached the door, he tried pushing it but found it to be locked.
"Is there even a need to keep it locked?" he lazily commented as he brought his card out and unlocked it using the force Authorization.
With a clicking sound, the door opened.
Standing in the center of the room, he was able to see everything. There were monitors everywhere, and each of the monitors was showing a different screen. Despite having many monitors, they didn't show all the feed.
Julien had to step ahead to take control of the system to change the feed since there was nothing of interest in the current feeds. All he could see in the feeds were places that were filled with dead bodies.
He didn't want to find the bodies. Instead, he wanted to find the intruders that could disturb him. At the moment, he wasn't even sure if there were any more or not.
He kept switching through footage again and again. After a long time and too much attention to detail, he finally noticed something. He noticed Arthur fighting some of the Warlocks on the sixth floor.
On another monitor, he noticed Milena on the twelfth floor. She was walking with her army of Nobles that she had recently turned.
She had also removed her mask by now, showing her beautiful face.
"So that's what's happening." Julien couldn't help but smile as he realized what had happened. "Looks like I was the wrong one this time. Who knew I wasn't suggesting to invite a sacrificial lamb but a wolf that was already working with the wolf we wanted to kill?"
"Man, the old man is going to be so upset about what happened."
He stood up and left the room.
He went to the twelfth floor to meet Milena first as he wasn't someone who liked wasting time on weaklings first. He directly wanted to go deal with Milena first.
In fact, if he wanted, he could have gone to fight Milena instead of Andreas in the Warlock Council, but he never left Zeston. According to him, traveling for long distances was tedious and tiring.
That's also why he suggested they take Lucifer with them, so he wasn't going to be dragged in the middle.
The lift stopped on the twelfth floor, and Julien stepped out.
His beautiful blonde hair came down to his shoulders, but they looked to be in a mess. His eyes were perfectly calm though.
He stepped out of the lift.
At the same time, a door opened, and Milena stepped out with her Nobles.
Her eyes fell on Julien at the same time as she noticed him.
"One more for the collection." She smiled, looking at Julien.
Her figure disappeared, and she teleported behind Julien. She opened her mouth to reveal her sharp fangs, which were advancing towards the neck of Julien at lightning fast.
Right before her teeth were about to touch the neck of Julien, she stopped. Not only her, but everyone else stopped as well.
The lift which was closing also paused. The hands of the clock stopped moving.
"A similar ability to Avil. So that's how you took him out. I was wondering how," Julien turned back to look at Milena.
She couldn't even think, let alone move.. Time had stopped entirely on this floor.
