Chapter 118: Healing (2/2)

Incidentally, the only reason why Lucifer was only able to do something like this now is because of the Demon Eyes.

Even though Lucifer's body is the one doing all the work, in order to make sure that Lucifer's body would still be Lucifer's body, his soul was needed to be there to be the gatekeeper.

And since Demon Eyes was created with Lucifer's soul, Lucifer is now able to do something like this.

Of course, Lucifer isn't using the Demon Eyes now as that would be huge pressure on his body.

However, the fact that he has opened it means that some of his powers have come back even though it came at a cost of his body.

Therefore, this option became available to him only after forcing himself.

That was why...this would take a long amount of time to be done.

However, the demons who were waiting for Lucifer seem to be ready to wait for him as a lot of time has already passed, and they were still not budging.

Well, they knew that they wouldn't be able to go somewhere else anyway.

Even if Rouge and Oumu were to go back, they would have nothing to do there.

Besides, it's not like Oumu would be able to go back since he still has not confirmed his position.

And because he still has not confirmed his position, Rouge certainly cannot go back.

And now, a day has finally passed and someone finally spoke up.

And this was...as expected, Oumu.

He spoke, albeit he hesitated a little bit, ”So...when is he going to wake up?”

”We've been here for a long amount of time now, but he isn't showing any signs of waking up at all.”

Indeed, Lucifer has not shown any signs of waking up at all. Not even a twitch could be seen on his body.

However, the one who came with him here, Rouge, spoke, ”Just wait, Oumu.”

”You know that you won't be able to go anywhere even if we have to wait here for a year, you know?”

And what Rouge said was the truth. Even if Lucifer is like this for a whole year, Oumu would have to wait for a whole year.

Rouge might come back to the Warmester Denoble House to handle some things, but definitely not Oumu.

However, it seems that Raya Pazier had something to say in this situation as she also spoke following Rouge, ”Well, just wait a little bit.”

”Lucis said that he would be done soon enough as what he's doing is just something that wouldn't really take a lot of time.”

Raya Pazier said those words, and as soon as she finished saying those words, Oumu immediately had a reaction.

”Wouldn't take a lot of time? What are you talking about? A day has already passed, and I can say that for sure that a day is a lot of time,” Oumu said, but he didn't say it angrily or anything of the sort.

He knew what kind of position he was in, so showing any kind of hostility could mean that his head would be rolling on the ground at any moment.

Besides, even though a lot of time has already passed, Oumu could say for sure that the demon incarnate and Nocturnal Phantom has not once looked away from him.

That says a lot about how they were looking at him and were trying hard to find faults with him.

Anyway, what Oumu said made a lot of sense. A day is a lot of time, and even Raya Pazier knew that.

However, since Lucifer is an ancient demon who has already lived for a long time, as that's what Raya Pazier believes and is actually right, him saying 'wouldn't take a lot of time' might actually mean 'a lot of time' to those who only lived for two decades or so on.

And that is exactly what Raya Pazier thought about what is happening in this current situation.

But...it seems that they didn't have to worry about this anymore as...the dark fog around Lucifer suddenly coagulated into a single spot.

It was right in front of Lucifer, and it was Nocturnal Phantom in a kneeling position.

However, that was not all as even the demon incarnate appeared, and it seems that he was bowing his head.

Of course, the three demons could see this, and they were also able to hear Nocturnal Phantom's words as he spoke.

”Welcome back, My Lord.”
