"And as Zeiss and his team keep us occupied, Varant will arrive as well. Two Warlock Kings against one... This is a tough battle to win," he further added as he sighed.

"True. That's why I want to create a Fifth Warlock King, Lucifer Azarel. The stronger version of Zale Azarel. As long as he reaches his full potential and becomes a Warlock King, the balance of power will tilt in our favor," Raia said as his eyes shone, expecting a great future.

"True. As long as we keep Lucifer with us, win his loyalty and his support, it's only a matter of time before we succeed. Since he is certain to become a Warlock King with his powers," Kellian said, nodding in agreement.

"That's right. He received two S-Rank abilities directly from a Warlock King and another S-Rank ability from his mother, who was the strongest Sorcerer. As for his Healing, that ability is so mystical. I don't even know what grade it could be, but it's fantastic," Yaliza also chimed in.

"His Healing is most probably S-Rank as well. I wonder if his healing has any weakness or not. If there are any weaknesses, I doubt even he knows. Too bad we can't test. So far, it seems really good," Raia said as he looked to his left.

"Ah, there they are. They kept us waiting long enough," he suddenly called out as he noticed a helicopter in the distance, advancing towards them.

"Should I welcome them?" Kellian asked as he cracked his knuckles.

"Go ahead. I doubt it would be able to do anything at this point but sure," Raia answered as he gave the permission.

After receiving the permission, Kellian stretched his arms as he stepped ahead of Raia.

Standing on the edge of the building, he moved his left foot a few inches back to position himself while he placed his right foot ahead.

Shadow Emperor Kellian spread out both his arms. A dark shadow started spreading out of him that advanced through the ground. His shadow kept getting longer and longer as it advanced towards the helicopter even though he himself kept standing in the same place.

Soon, the shadow traveled a distance of ten kilometers to reach the place above which the helicopter of APF seems to be passing by.

As the shadow was long enough, Kellian moved both his hands ahead as he clapped with great force. The clap seemed so powerful that its sound echoed far and wide.

Still, the focus of the others wasn't the clap but a massive wave of darkness that had come out of the ground from under the helicopter, seemingly ready to swallow it whole.

Massive waves of darkness closed in on the helicopter of APF as the distance between two decreased with each passing moment.

Unfortunately, just when the wave of darkness was only five meters away from the helicopter, a man jumped out of it.

It seemed like the man's whole body was shining in a mysterious silver light. As for his skin, there seemed to be some strange black markings on his skin which were looking extremely fascinating through the shining silver light.

His long hair moved with the wind as he flew down, seemingly intending to punch the darkness that was coming towards them.

As for the body of the man, it was so bulky, which matched with his looks, in return making him look like a Viking. He was also a member of APF, known as Arne, the Destructive King.

The darkness of the shadow clashed with the light of Arne, ultimately being defeated as the dark shadow was destroyed before it could even reach the helicopter.

Arne didn't stop going down as his closed fist landed on the ground, creating a deep crater because of the impact of the clash.

"Kellian, how about you leave it to me. It seems like you're defeated in the clash," the dark-haired red man known as Yaliza stepped forward, placing his hand on the shoulder of Kellian.

"Hah, this much is nothing. You know my powers are affected because of the distance. He fought my distant and weakened shadow and achieved a small victory. This much is nothing. Just let me go to him and handle him personally," Kellian said calmly as he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Surprisingly, the Sword Emperor Tristan had also seen the helicopter. A cheeky grin appeared on his lips as he excitedly ran towards the helicopter as well, leaving the building which was about to be destroyed intact.

"Should I?" Yaliza asked Raia, who subtly nodded his head.

"Alright. Go take the fight to them. Even though it would've been better to let it come up to us, it doesn't matter," Raia said as he watched the APF helicopter landing on the ground.

...

As the Alpha Squad Helicopter landed on the ground, the whole squad stepped out of the helicopter.

Varant stood in the middle of the team while the rest stood on the side, looking around at destruction that had been caused here.

"They've created such a mess in such a short time. I don't even want to think how many people are killed here," Vice-Captain Riali said as he sighed.

He soon noticed a shadow advancing towards them from a distance.

"I'll go take care of that guy. You handle the rest," Shadow Monarch Riali said as he turned into a shadow and disappeared as he saw Kellian in the distance.

Assassination Emperor Gensi of the Alphas also disappeared as he saw Sword Emperor Tristan in the distance.

The rest of the members of the Alpha Squad also spread out, selecting an enemy for themselves which they could take out, leaving only Arne, the Destructive King, and Varant, the APF head.

The two of them were looking in the distant building on top of which Raia and Yaliza were standing.

Yaliza seemed to be talking to Raia as if he was asking for something. In response, Raia nodded his head, after which Yaliza also jumped down from the building, landing on the ground.
