Inhuman Warlock

"Moreover, he can't be killed! When he was a child, he was killed in his mansion by some people. His father had died that same day, but that's when he had woken up as well!"

"His first ability is that his body recovers to its best condition whenever he's killed! Not only does that happen, but every time he is killed, he becomes stronger! This guy! He literally killed himself every day just to get stronger!"

"So he can heal and get stronger?"

"It's not healing but time reversal of his body. His body returns to the condition of the past when it was perfect whenever he dies, but he didn't go back in time. He stays at the same time; just his body age goes back."

"If I'm not wrong, this guy has killed himself over a thousand times to gain strength and his strength is now..."

"His strength is now what...?"

"I don't know what his strength is, but from the data we just managed to unencrypt, I can confidently say that even the entire Warlock Council combined couldn't have defeated him."

"No one knew about the true Strength of Jian except the Chair of the Warlock Council. For the entire world, the old man was the one who started the council, and he was stronger, but he was just... a puppet of Jian!"

"This Jian... He is a psychopath, not much different than Uzuki!"

"Uzuki? You mean split personality?"

"Crazy level of split personality. But unlike Uzuki, both of his personalities know about each other. One is the clever one who takes the lead most of the time, killing people when needed using schemes and all. That personality stays out most of the time."

"What about his second personality?"

"I don't know when his second personality comes out, but I feel like I don't want to watch that happen. It's somehow related to his sword."

"Tell Milena and everyone else about it before they force this other personality out! Don't let them fall into this trap!" Kane exclaimed. "Act fast."

"Alright, I'm going to tell them!" Arthur kept the phone back.

"I'll be right back. Take care of the base," he told the others, preparing to leave. Milena and Jian still talked. No one had made a single move until then, which gave Arthur more time.

Boom~

Just as Arthur was about to leave, he heard a booming sound. Alarms started ringing all over the headquarters as the left entrance of the Warlock Council headquarters caught on fire.

"Kellian was right. They were going to attack, but he was wrong about one thing. Jian wasn't the distraction for this attack. Instead, this attack seems to be a distraction for Jian."

Arthur scratched the back of his head. He needed to leave, but he also had a task to protect this place. Only he could teleport the members from one part of the headquarters to another.

"Jake, Roy, Elina, you three are coming with me. We are going to the site of the explosion. The others shall stay behind. Am I clear?"

Not even waiting for the response from others, he held the hands of the ones he called for and disappeared.

He appeared on the first floor, slightly farther from the entrance. He already considered how far these people could've traveled inside the base since the explosion and teleported according to that so he could wait for them.

"You three stay here. You know those guys can be invisible; that's why I selected you. You can sense them. You three have the abilities that can help you. Just keep them busy for a little. I'll be right back! I need to inform Her Majesty about something important."

Boom~

Arthur tried moving again, only to find that he couldn't Teleport this time. There was some kind of obstruction.

He looked around in confusion.

"Greetings, Arthur and everyone else."

A man's voice came through the speakers.

Arthur raised his hand and looked towards the speakers.

"The Control room!" His expressions soon turned weird. He could understand that the only way to access the speakers was through the control room.

"This means those people are already inside the control room? From the time of the explosion to now, even a minute hasn't passed. How could they get there so fast?'

"Even with Teleportation, you are slower than us. It seems we overestimated you. We thought you'd be blocking our path, and we'd have to go through you." The voice changed, sounding like it belonged to a different person now.

"That's why we didn't attack directly and used Jian as a distraction to bring your strongest out first. However, it seems like it wasn't even needed."

"It looks like at least two of them are here. Either Jian has the third one, or the third one is here as well. In any case, they're calling Jian a distraction. So they really don't know about Jian. As expected, the information was secret even from them."

"Either it's that, or Jian truly isn't thinking about revealing his other self even now? Could he really be a distraction for the moment so they could use the base?! Argh, I need to get this information to them somehow! I need to go out!"

" The headquarters is under enemy control now. They must be in the control room, while the rest of our members are on the top floor. You three run up and alert them and stay with them. I'll leave this building so I can inform Her Majesty and others."

Issuing his last set of commands, Arthur started running towards the exit. The teleportation was blocked somehow. He could only run. However, he didn't even understand how teleportation was blocked."

Did this place have some facilities like this? And they didn't know about all that? So even after being here for so long, they couldn't explore all the functions of this place? Many questions floated in his hand as he ran towards the exit.

Now he was regretting why he didn't just teleport right near the entrance instead of giving him buffer room.

He kept running and running, ultimately teaching the exit.

"After leaving this place, I should be able to teleport. However, getting back inside this place would be hard again. I'll think about it when we get to that part. Until then, I can only hope that others can stay safe!"

He was only ten steps away from the exit. His long hair floated with the wind as he ran. He could also feel. He could feel the heat coming from the entrance that was covered in flames.

He covered his face, preparing to jump through the flames.

Pushing his body ahead, he jumped.

Only a moment after he jumped, he felt something. There was a feeling of danger that grasped his heart. The heat was different as well. Suddenly the flame turned colder.
