Chapter 89: Incomprehensible (2/2)

Well, it wasn't really an idea as Lucifer just remembered something.

And that was...

”Grim Reaper: First Form!” Lucifer shouted out loud as he used a little bit of his mana and made it leak out of his body.

And as soon as he did, the Grim Reaper...Grimmy used the mana to form itself on the air as Grimmy floated on the air.

However, there was something different to Grimmy now compared to the time when Lucifer summoned it before.

If, before, Grimmy was a scary-looking devil who could probably scare a war veteran with just its looks, right now, Grimmy would just be laughed at by children.

Why? It was because...Grimmy looks like a stick that was malnourished with some kind of chain on its hands.

Hell, Grimmy couldn't even hold its own weapon properly as it kept falling out of its hands.

And when Lucifer saw Grimmy like that, he could guess the reason almost immediately why Grimmy was like that.

”Hah...my condition is that bad, huh? To think that you got affected by it, too...” Lucifer murmured as he looked at Grimmy, who was floating in the air.

However, the fact that Lucifer didn't disperse Grimmy at all means that Lucifer sees Grimmy as useful in this situation.

And that was indeed the fact as even this stick Grim Reaper would be able to do something in this situation.

However...before even Lucifer could order Grimmy to do something, a sudden noise suddenly disrupted him.

”P-Patriarch...? What the hell...is going on...” A shaky voice resounded out in this place.

And it caught Lucifer's attention, which made Lucifer turn his head towards the source.

Of course, it was Rouge, who was now standing right beside the corpse of the Patriarch.

As it all happened very fast and it happened with Lucifer killed him with just a look, Rouge didn't know what was going on.

He didn't know if the Patriarch was killed or if the Patriarch just lost his consciousness due to old age.

It was very obvious, but Rouge just thought that the Patriarch just needed some kind of good smacking so that he would wake up now since he was still in a battle.

However, when Rouge first came to his senses, that was exactly what he did; he gave the Patriarch a good smacking to wake him up.

But...no matter how much he tried to wake up the Patriarch without Lucifer noticing, the Patriarch wouldn't wake up at all.

Incidentally, the only reason why Lucifer didn't notice what Rouge was doing was because he was too immersed in himself and his injuries.

Well, it was only natural for him to be that focused on himself if his physical condition was this bad.

Anyway, that was the reason why Rouge was just looking at the Patriarch as confusion was set in his mind, not knowing what to do in this situation.

And that was only normal. After all, his bosses, the 6 pillars and the Patriarch, were suddenly lying on the ground.

Although it seems like a lot of time has already passed, that was certainly not the case.

At most, only 5 minutes have passed. And seeing the 6 pillars and the Patriarch collapsed on the ground, Rouge...was not able to take it in better and was just thinking that this was just an illusion or a dream or whatever.

After all, the 6 pillars and the Patriarch were the people that Rouge thought to be the strongest.

He thought that no one would be able to beat them, and he was right in that.

People in the Zacharath Kingdom wouldn't be able to defeat them this fast. It would take them a lot of time and manpower to take down the 6 pillars and the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

However...Rouge just didn't know the existence of the Hell Gods, the true powerhouse in the Hidden world.

They were literal gods walking the Hidden world. Even though Lucifer was just a shell of his past self with his physical condition, Rouge's heaven, which was the Patriarch, is only an ant to him.

And Rouge...was not able to understand this fact.

Well, it was because he didn't know anything yet so that was understandable.

”Ah, I forgot about you since I was in this situation, but you were still here, huh,” Lucifer's voice resounded out in Rouge's ears.
