Chapter 44: Healing... (1/2)

'This is bad...' Lucifer thought as he felt his head being massaged by a pretty woman.

Of course, Lucifer didn't care if Rachel was beautiful or not. Lucifer didn't give a fuck about something so mundane.

However, this situation was really bad as Lucifer was sure that he hadn't gotten any injury.

He hadn't gotten any injury or even a scratch from the old man or Professor Malbath's attack.

The old man was not that powerful, and he was a lot weaker than Sebastian.

That was why Lucifer was sure that he hadn't gotten anything from the old man's attack.

And what's more, Lucifer...felt nothing at all when the old man attacked him. Absolutely nothing.

In fact, he felt as if the wind blew on his body, and that was it.

That was why Lucifer knew that Rachel wouldn't be able to find anything on his body.

And once Rachel founds it, Lucifer would immediately be suspected once she reports it to the old man.

Of course, there was nothing that even Lucifer could do in this situation.

It's not like Lucifer could kill Rachel or something like that.

Well, there was something Lucifer could try, and that was...to put the same fear that he instilled on Asgo to Rachel.

Right, if Lucifer forces Rachel to become his subordinate, nothing would go wrong.

Hell, he could even control things out better if he did that.

However, Lucifer himself rejected that idea when he thought of it.

Why? It was because...it's not like every demon would choose to follow Lucifer even if he instilled fear in them.

There are demons who would fight to the death, and there are demons who would choose to meekly follow once threatened.

There are also cunning demons who would pretend to follow the strong and then betray them later on.

There are also demons who would fight Lucifer first, and then give up once they found out that they cannot win against him.

There are various demons in the Hidden World, and Lucifer knows that very well.

What's more, Lucifer has not spent any time together with this Rachel woman at all.

That was why he didn't know Rachel's attitude or personality or mindset.

And since he doesn't know, it would be hard for him to know how Rachel would react if he decided to instill fear in them.

Rachel might be the cunning fox who would betray him later or Rachel might be the one who would fight to the death.

Either way, Lucifer didn't have enough information to risk it.

Although he could cast a curse, Lucifer's specialty was not cursing people.

Even though he was a Hell God, a demon won't be able to do something that he cannot do.

Incidentally, the reason why Lucifer just straight-up threatened and made Asgo his slave was because...he messed up.

Right, he messed up by bursting out in his anger and letting Asgo see that.

He couldn't control his anger and acted out right in front of Asgo, which is something that Lucifer didn't want to do at that moment.

That was just how...frustrated and angry he was about the princess.

He just covered it up by making Asgo his slave and threatened him.

Of course, he also put some extra precautions by putting a weak curse in Asgo.

Well, Lucifer was actually thankful that happened as Lucifer got the idea of conquering the underground world of the Zacharath Kingdom.

Anyway, Lucifer's head was still being massaged by Rachel as she tried very hard to find any scratches or injuries.

It was then that Rachel spoke as she just looked at the empty air.

”Hmmm...there's nothing on the head. Professor Malbath probably didn't strike him here.”

Rachel said with confidence and without any hint of doubts in her voice.

It seems that she was really sure of what she found. Well, it was only reasonable that she would be sure.

After all, feeling things out with her hands was actually more accurate than seeing things.

Although it was weird, that was just how it was for Rachel.

That was how she did things ever since she knew that she could use healing magic.

Anyway, now that Rachel knew that there were no injuries in Lucifer's head, it was now time to explore other areas where Asgo said Lucifer could possibly be injured.

And that was...the shoulders.

She quickly moved her hands to Lucifer's shoulders. It seems that Rachel was used to doing this as she didn't have any problems finding Lucifer's shoulders at all.

Of course, Asgo could see it all happening, and he could feel his heart pumping out of his chest.

Literally, every single bump of his chest could Asgo feel the intensity of this situation.
