Chapter 642 - 587: Edward Ortberg (1) (1/2)
”So what are you going to do here, Master~~?”
She stretched the last word and said with a seductive tone but Arthur ignored her and transformed back into Buo Buo.
Unlike Fariya, the chief guard of the third level is an annoying and close-minded angel and checks the prisoners on every floor each month. He also terribly dislikes, no, he abhors demons, including Fariya so their relationship is straight-up hostile. In fact, from what the succubus said, she did clash with the angel a few times but Habs would interfere and separate them.
”If I step foot into his floors, he's bound to appear. Though he has made a few deals with Buo in the past.”
Arthur thought for a moment before saying: ”If I kill him, his absence will quickly be noticed. Is there any way to bypass him?”
The person in question is called Erandil, an eight-winged angel, who can be described as a prick. He's a bit stronger than Fariya, but now that her stats increased after becoming Arthur's slave, she's certain she can handle him and even kill him but their fight will attract attention.
Furthermore, Erandil has high awareness and his three floors are blinded with angels. The master and the slave spent some time talking and thinking of a plan and, finally, they found a plan which may work.
Half an hour later, Fariya appeared on the 7th floor while dragging a chained prisoner behind her. A smile was blossoming on her beautiful face as she winked at the angels, who, despite being majestic beings, weren't able to resist her charm, especially the males. They would get fl.u.s.tered and instinctively look away, in fact, they didn't even try to stop her as she seemed to be escorting someone.
Unfortunately, the chief guard showed himself less than a minute after her arrival. He was a tall angel with eight golden wings curled up behind his back, he had a long golden hair that rested on his shoulders and his face didn't suit his race. He was expressionless as he glared at Fariya then at the prisoner with an unusual appearance.
Hostility and killing intent emanated from his eyes as he looked at Arthur, who had the appearance of a Devil. The parasite managed to retrieve one of the devil corpses on the 49th floor of the Red Tower, however, he got no stats or skills, surprisingly. Nevertheless, his appearance was more enough to rile up Erandil's emotions.
”What's this?”
He sternly questioned the smiling succubus, who lightly pulled the chains, causing Arthur to stagger a few steps to the front.
”I'm escorting him to the fourth level, where he belongs.”
”Oh?” Erandil frowned as he marched toward the devil and examined him from head to toe before speaking: ”I'll do it. Go back to your level!”
He was about to snatch the chains from Fariya only for her to pull her hand away and retorting: ”The Warden personally instructed me to do it. If you have any objections, go to him.”
Not only was Erandil in bad terms with Fariya, but he also didn't get along with the Warden, who was a human. Erandil considered himself superior and righteous and didn't approve of many things Habs had done in the past. Sadly, when he tried objecting, he would only get beaten by Habs and punished by Heaven, who ordered him to always obey the Warden.
”…”
The blond-haired angel glared at the succubus, his eyes never drifting toward her revealed curves and seductive parts. He seemed immune to her charm as a domineering aura emanating from him, apparently, he wanted to use force but he was startled as the succubus released an energy that overwhelmed his pressure and caused him to take a step back.
”Stick to your duties, Erandil.”
Unlike how she interacted with others, Fariya hated the angel to the bones and wasn't interested in charming him, much less talking to him.
Arthur quietly watched their interactions without saying anything, though he was prepared to act in case things go awry. Erandil was focused on the succubus so he made a move, he was confident in dealing a fatal blow to the angel, however, that will only complicate his plans. Furthermore, there were a few angels not far from here and they would sound the alarm before he can reach them.
Angels were telepathically connected so a single thought from one of them would alert the rest and that would result in the prison going into complete lock down. Plus, the most fearful person, Habs, would come here within minutes.
Fariya repeatedly told him that the Warden is really a terrifying person. He's much stronger than all the chief guards and is a merciless person, but he wasn't downright evil and his goal was to reach Heaven and spread his fame. Actually, Habs originated from the Demon Realm, which part of the reason Heaven didn't invite him despite his astonishing accomplishments and godly powers.
