Chapter 91: Healed (1/2)

”You'll know soon enough,” Lucifer said as he looked at Rouge.

Of course, what he said was the truth as Grimmy finally disappeared completely from here and went inside War's body.

As soon as Grimmy went inside, the atmosphere in the room changed completely as it just...went dark.

The light that somehow survived the clash between Lucifer and the Patriarch grew dim and darkness became evident in this place.

”W-what the...hell...you bastard! Is this your doing, too!?” Rouge shouted out loud after losing his calm.

Well, it suddenly got dark all of a sudden, and as far as Rouge knows, when it gets dark, something unbelievable happens.

When the room got dark the first time, the 6 pillars, who Rouge viewed to be the strongest subordinates in the Warmester Denoble House, collapsed on the ground and are likely to be dead.

And when the room got dark the second time, the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House himself fell on the ground and is likely to be dead as well.

Rouge was the one who gave the Patriarch a good smacking to wake him up, but the Patriarch didn't wake up at all.

That was why Rouge thought that the third time that the room got dark would be his turn to collapse on the ground and...die, just like the 6 pillars and the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

However, contrary to his expectations of being killed right away, Rouge...couldn't feel any killing intent directed at him nor could he feel any abnormal happenings around him.

'W-what's going on now...what is he doing? Fuck this shit...I can feel my life shortening just because of this shit...' Rouge thought as he kept his senses sharp and he strengthened his guard around himself.

After all, even though he knew that he would be no match for Lucifer, he would still fight for his life.

That was just how living creatures are. Of course, it would be a different matter if Rouge was broken mentally, but in this case, he was not.

That was why Rouge could still prepare himself even after losing his calm and knowing that he stands no chance against Lucifer.

However, it seems that Rouge didn't have to worry about dying or anything of the sort as...nothing really happened to him.

Nothing happened to him, and just like that, the lights in this room...came back on as if nothing happened.

”Huh?” Rouge exclaimed out loud with a dumb look on his face. He couldn't believe that he didn't die even though the lights turned off already, and nothing happened to him.

Well, it would be more correct to say that he was relieved that he didn't die.

However, Rouge knew better than to be complacent right now, which is why he quickly looked around the room to look for Lucifer and Grimmy, who was supposed to be in War's body.

But...as soon as Rouge found them, he couldn't believe what he was seeing as his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of his eye sockets.

Why? It was because War's body was standing up on its own now. However, there was something weird about him.

And that was...his entire body was decomposing fast. It was as if he was being melted away by the sun itself.

His flesh was falling out of him, and his organs could be seen now.

It was obvious, but...this is the aftereffects of Grimmy possessing someone else's body.

Because Grimmy is such a unique living creature, which is a Grim Reaper, his obnoxious and toxic aura naturally decomposes people that he possess or people who are near him.

Of course, Grimmy can stop his aura from destroying people, which is somewhat convenient since he wouldn't just kill people randomly, but if Grimmy himself possesses someone else's body, his aura would naturally kill the body that he possesses, which is...quite irritating for Lucifer as he was in this situation.

And that was why War's body was quickly falling apart, which made him look like a zombie who couldn't die.

However, the next thing that really made Rouge widened his eyes so wide that it looked like they were about to burst out of their eye sockets was the fact that Grimmy...himself was pulling out his body.

With War's right hand, Grimmy used it to pull War's left hand away from his body. With that kind of 'baggage' in his right hand, Grimmy continued to pull several parts of War's body away from his torso.

Eyes, nose, lips, ears, flesh, fat, literally everything that Grimmy could hold with War's right hand, he grabbed onto it.

Of course, because War's body was already decomposing, it was really easy for him to do something like this.

And seeing something like this was...really disturbing even for Rouge, who killed a man when he was but a child.

After all, it was as if he was looking at a monstrosity from his nightmares that wouldn't stop chasing him around.

But...the next thing that happened shocked Rouge even more.
