Chapter 240 240: He Hasn't Started



"You can\'t be serious. You\'re asking me to stay out of the battle that will decide the fate of this world?" Lilith couldn\'t believe what Atlas was saying.

Instead of staying out himself, he was asking her to stay out.

"Luna is already staying behind with a few of our men to keep an eye on Misella, who won\'t be joining the battle. The two will be safe here, and if you also stay behind, you can also stay safer," Lucifer tried to explain, even though it wasn\'t easy.

"Who says I want to stay safe? Even everyone is putting their lives on the line, including you; how can I stay behind and just watch? I\'m not a kid who can\'t protect myself."

Even though Lilith was somewhat glad that Atlas was considering her safety, she was upset as well that she was being told to stay back as if she was a kid who couldn\'t protect herself. She had fought so many wars, even the last war with the Empire. She survived so much. She deserved to be there.

Contrary to what Lilith was thinking, Atlas was also thinking from a different side. On his side, he wasn\'t wrong either. With two Progenitors and the army that they had, there was genuinely no need for Lilith. And if they couldn\'t win with all they had, they weren\'t going to win with Lilith either.

If the army they had wasn\'t enough, that was going to mean that the enemy was stronger than they imagined. And in that case, it was going to be a slaughter of their side, which was going to include Lilith as well.

From what Atlas understood, if it was their victory, it was going to be their victory without Lilith as well. If it was their loss, even Lilith\'s presence couldn\'t change it. If she stayed behind, then they had a better chance.

Even if their side lost this time and all Progenitors were captured, Lilith was still going to be safe in the back. She could plan on how to help them escape with the help of Luna.

It wasn\'t just for their safety that they would be staying behind, but it was something akin to the third plan, which was the backup plan, in case everything went south.

Even though he hoped there was no need for that, it was still safer to have a backup plan than to not have it.

Unfortunately for him, Lilith just refused to listen, even to him. For the next half an hour, he kept trying to convince her to stay behind, but Lilith didn\'t listen. If he was stubborn, she was more stubborn than him.

Ultimately, he could only give up and just agree to take her.

She was going to stay with the rest of the group while he went alone, but she wasn\'t going to stay behind in this town.

*****

After having lots of back and forth with Lilith, Atlas accepted his defeat and left the Mansion. However, he did remind Lilith to make sure that Misella didn\'t leave the mansion. It was Lilith\'s responsibility to also make an excuse as to why she and Atlas had to leave the Town for a few days, only leaving Luna behind.

Leaving the mansion, he went back to the training arena to see how Vor\'s training was going. This close to a war, he wanted to keep himself distracted, and that\'s what watching Vor train Lancaster did to him. Watching others have friendly battles, it kept him engaged as well.

However, as soon as he reached near the arena, he was surprised. The Vor and Lancaster weren\'t fighting. Lancaster just stood in the distance with Tyler and Lucius.

It was Atlan and Vor who were fighting. Their fighting was quite intense, but it didn\'t look like they were trying to kill each other.

It was more like two men fighting just to see who was superior.

"What is happening here?" Atlas joined Tyler and Atlan.

"Just having some fun," Lucius answered instead. "There was no fun in watching Vor train a kid. This is more fun."

"Also, we haven\'t fought Vor before, but still, we heard some stories. Atlan wanted to check just how much truth was to those stories," he further stated. "Don\'t worry though. They won\'t kill each other. That\'s for sure. Both of them are sensible enough."

​ "The two seem to be on an equal footing for now," Atlas commented, observing the ongoing battle. If it were a friendly battle, he wouldn\'t stop it since he could get to learn more from it.

Not only could he see the true fighting strength and skills of Vor, but he could also see how a Progenitor fought.

So far, he had only seen one Progenitor fight, and it was Lucius when he was facing the Franc Clan members. However, that was a different type of battle. That battle was against Spellcasters who preferred to fight from a long distance without getting close. If one could avoid their spells, then those Witches were no stronger than ordinary humans.

On the contrary, Vor was different. Vor didn\'t rely on spells. He was a close range fighter who was quite comparable to the Progenitors in strength and speed with an additional advantage of the poison in his claws and fangs, which made him quite threatening to a Progenitor.

The only thing in which the Progenitors were superior was their faster healing and their immortality. However, one of those advantages was neutralized by the poison, which even the healing couldn\'t remove fast enough.

The longer a battle went on with a Werewolf, the riskier it was for a Vampire, and that\'s also why all the Vampires preferred to kill the Werewolves as soon as they could. Moreover, it was also the reason that Wolves hunted in packs when they faced a powerful enemy.

It increased the strength of their position, and in a pack, they could drag the battle longer to get more and more position in the enemy\'s body.

"They aren\'t on equal footing… Atlan hasn\'t even started yet," Lucius responded to Atlas\' observation.
