Chapter 101: Enemy? (1/2)
”Lucis! I found her!” is what the voice said, and as soon as Lucifer heard those words, Lucifer shot open his eyes and moved towards the source of the voice.
Of course, it was obvious but the owner of the voice is Rouge, the man who is present in this room other than Lucifer.
And where Rouge was located right now was...in the room.
Right, he was not in this room, but instead, he was...under the room.
In other words, he was deeper underground right below this room.
Lucifer could finally see the reason why the woman and the sixth son showed up at the same place and yet they were not together when Lucifer saw the sixth son.
And that's because the woman was below a floor from where the sixth son was located in.
Although Lucifer could see through things and realize that he is looking through something with his Demon Eyes: Burning Soul, Lucifer prioritized closing his eyes when he saw and determined that he found the sixth son, so he didn't really have the time to double-check things through or something like that.
Anyway, when Lucifer reached the floor below the room where the sixth son was located, Lucifer could finally see the woman that he was looking for.
She was just lying on the bed with her eyes closed, unmoving. It seems that she has fallen asleep.
She also got some clothes, and it was the clothes that the woman was wearing the first time Lucifer met her.
And this basically means that nothing has been done to her, yet. As soon as Lucifer realized this, he could feel his emotions calming down and he even instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, knowing that nothing was done to the woman yet was definitely a relief for Lucifer even though he didn't know the reasons why.
'Damn it...why am I acting like this just because of a woman? I don't understand myself...' Lucifer thought as he looked at the woman with fierce eyes.
However, it seems that Lucifer didn't have the time to think about this anymore as Rouge, the one who found the woman, spoke.
”Lucis, what do I do? Should I wake her up?” Rouge said.
Of course, Rouge finally understood why Lucifer was rushing to go towards the location of where the sixth son was.
It was all for the purpose of this woman. And naturally, Rouge thought that this woman was Lucifer's woman.
After all, it is only natural for him to think like that after seeing Lucifer, who was always acting calmly and reserved, rush here.
That was why Rouge asked Lucifer first before doing anything to the woman.
Hell, Rouge didn't even check if the woman was alive or anything of the sort because he didn't want Lucifer to misunderstand something.
That was how...scared Rouge was when it comes to the nightmares that Lucifer can give him.
”No. You don't have to wake her up. After all, she's...awake already.” Lucifer said while looking at the woman.
And as soon as he said those words, a noise came from the direction of the woman, ”What the!”
Turning his head to look at the woman, Rouge soon saw something...crazy.
And that was...the woman was somehow holding a sword out as she leaped to attack Lucifer!
”You bastard! Where did you take me!” The woman shouted out loud while flying towards Lucifer.
However, she came to an abrupt stop as Lucifer created a barrier of mana around the woman, forcing the woman...to float in the air.
”You think you can stop me with something like this!? I'll break this fragile wall of yours with this!” The woman swung her swords towards the barrier, and as expected, the sword...broke.
”W-what...” The woman murmured with disbelief in her eyes.
It was only natural for this to happen as the barrier was made with Lucifer's mana.
There's no way that a puny sword that came from a random woman would be able to destroy a barrier made with Lucifer's mana.
”Hmm. Come to think of it, the first time we met, you said something about me being an assassin from the Warmester.”
”I see now. They took advantage of me knocking you out, and then kidnapped you, bringing you here.”
”I assume this is done by the sixth son that I just killed before.”
”Tsk. To think that my actions would actually benefit a pig.”
Lucifer said all those words while looking at the woman who is floating in the air.
