Chapter 92: Say... (2/2)

There's no way that an ant such as Rouge would be able to decide something in this situation when Lucifer was in this picture.

Lucifer was the one who decides things in this situation, and Lucifer knew that very well.

That was why he just kept walking towards Rouge. And when he reached him, Lucifer immediately...pinned Rouge down on the ground as he kicked Rouge's chest with his right leg.

”Kuhk!” Even though it was on his chest, Rouge coughed up blood, and his body spasmed all over as if thousands of ants were crawling to his skin.

No, being kicked by Lucifer, even though Lucifer was holding back so that he wouldn't kill Rouge, is very painful.

That was even as Rouge started to foam on his mouth with his saliva, but not only that, his body...started to crack up as if he was about to pass away with just a kick.

Well, this was only natural. After all, Rouge was way weaker than the 6 pillars and the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

There's no way that Rouge would be able to survive Lucifer's kick now that he is somewhat healthy and was able to move normally.

Anyway, after kicking Rouge, Lucifer then bent his back to look at Rouge's face.

Even though Lucifer wasn't saying anything or wasn't doing anything to Rouge, Rouge just understood that if he doesn't look at Lucifer now, he would die.

Right...Rouge just felt that way, and it was amazingly scary as Rouge actually believed that would come true.

After all, what he saw in this room was the truth and it was not some kind of nightmare that Rouge experienced or anything of the sort.

That was why...even though Rouge wasn't really thinking straight right now, and his body was hard to move after receiving such a hard and strong kick to his chest, Rouge forced his head to turn and look at Lucifer.

He did it with great effort, and his saliva just came out of his mouth as if his mouth was a fountain.

And it was with this kind of look that Rouge faced Lucifer with.

However...Rouge didn't know - that the instant Rouge would meet eyes with Lucifer is the moment that things...would escalate.

”Do you want to live?” Lucifer's voice resounded out to his ears.

No...to be exact, it echoed in and out in his brain.

It was weird, but that was how it felt like to Rouge who heard it. However, that was not all that happened as Rouge's eyes saw something...change right in front of him.

Illusion? Magic? Rouge didn't know, but Lucifer's head was somehow floating in the air away from his body.

No...it was no longer Lucifer's head as it looked like it was something hideous and monstrous; something that Rouge had never seen before in his life.

And while seeing that kind of vision right in front of him, Lucifer's voice continued to echo in and out of his brain.

”I will give you a chance to live; become my servant and I will let you live.”

”Well? Give me an answer. Your body is cracking up and you would die in a minute.”

”A single yes - That's all I need to prevent your life from stopping.”

”Say yes. Say yes. Say yes. Say yes.” Lucifer's voice resounded out in Rouge's brain.

No...it was not longer Lucifer's voice as it was just some kind of deep, horror kind of voice that Rouge couldn't idenitfy.

Of course, all of these things happened very fast. To be exact, it just happened in a single second.

And that was why...it was effective.

What Lucifer meant to do by doing something like this is to break down Rouge's mental fortitude.

Although he was already broken by the time Lucifer healed his body up, it would be better to break him again to make sure that Lucifer would get what he wanted.

Combined with the illusion, the devilish voice that just seems to lure Rouge in, and the injury that Rouge received, this was the best way to break down Rouge.

”AHKK!!!” Rouge shouted out loud, unable to comprehend what was happening.

And after breaking him down, Lucifer just has to pick him up.

”Say yes, Rouge. And I will let you live.” The devilish voice continued to echo in and out of Rouge's brain, unrelenting and not stopping.
