Chapter 9: Lesser Demon (1/2)

”Tell me what you know about the Hidden world.” Lucifer said as he grabbed Loraine's soul.

This soul was under the control of the Grim Reaper that he summoned, which means that it was under his control.

That was why Lucifer was sure about this method.

”Hmm. First, tell me if what you said earlier is true. Am I considered as a traitor in the demon society?”

Lucifer wanted to know if what Loraine said was true. After all, Lucifer has been gone for a bit too long.

He knew that there would come a time when the demons of today would misunderstand what happened in the past.

Well, Lucifer didn't really care about being branded as a traitor.

After all, the only thing that would come out of that is hindering his movements between kingdoms and territories.

He could even just kill pursuers or people who want to catch him.

If demon society actually wanted to catch Lucifer, they would have sent all the Demon Kings that they got.

Even with that, there was no telling who would win.

Well, Lucifer just wanted to know if he would have to go undercover or something like that.

Although it wasn't his style, Lucifer knew how weak he was right now.

That was why taking risks boldly when he couldn't commit to it was a wrong move, and Lucifer knew that with all his heart.

It was then that Loraine spoke without moving her mouth.

Well, she was just a soul now, and what's more, she is now just a mere puppet.

”No...You're not a traitor. I made it up to try and make an opening.”

”I knew it; bitches of Astaroth really do the same things even if thousands of years have passed.” Lucifer said as he shook his head.

He knew that the notion of him being a traitor was ridiculous. After all, he was a Hell God.

And you cannot just convict a Hell God of a betrayal with no proofs or anything like that.

Lucifer then looked at the soul that he was grabbing as if he were looking down on it and spoke.

The aura that Lucifer had on his person suddenly changed as it turned sharp!

The power and pressure coming from Lucifer became rougher and wild as if it were an animal that has been released from its lock!

”What is the reason for Astaroth to send you in this place?”

After all, the question that Lucifer asked would change the way he handled things.

If Astaroth were the one who sent the intruders to his home, Lucifer wouldn't just let it slide.

However, it seems his concerns were exaggerated, as Loraine proved it when she spoke.

”I am only a Lesser Demon. Astaroth does not look at me.”

It was then that Lucifer widened his eyes as he looked at Loraine's soul.

His body began shaking, and his feet took a step backward as if he couldn't believe it.

He then shouted out loud as he squashed Loraine's soul.

”What?! Lesser Demon?! You are?!”

”...Yes.”

As Loraine's soul was under Lucifer's control, she wasn't allowed to react to the pain or even stutter a little bit.

That was why she was able to answer Lucifer's answer straight away even though her soul was almost gone now.
