Chapter 124: Hell God (1/2)

”Good. We have a deal. I shall tell you about my identity, then.”

Lucifer said those words with a thin smile on his face.

It was because he was happy that things were finally going his way, though things were always going his way.

However, this time it was a little bit different. Why? It was because there was the chance that Oumu would have said no to his offer.

After all, Lucifer's offer was just too one-sided and it was too advantageous for Lucifer, but still.

It's not like it was already clear skies for Lucifer and the gang.

Even after Lucifer tells Oumu his identity and everything else, there was still the possibility that Oumu would say 'Ah, forget it. I'm serving the Warmester Denobel House,' and then try to make a run for it.

And if that were to happen, whatever occurred up to this moment would all be meaningless and pointless.

Besides, even though Lucifer planned to make Oumu into an arrow that would shake the whole world because he knows his identity, that was still for the future, that plan was not for now, so it would be extremely risky for Oumu to stay alive after betraying Lucifer.

Of course, Lucifer was aware that there was a chance of this happening, so he has not really let down his guard or anything of the sort.

However, it is still the truth that one can see that Lucifer was happy with the results of what just happened.

Anyway, now that things were finally getting started, Lucifer...also thought that it would be best if he started to speak now, which is why he spoke.

”Hmmm...where should I start? Ah, how about this then?” Lucifer said as he turned his look towards Raya Pazier, who had an excited look on her face.

It seems that she couldn't keep her poker face anymore because she was just too excited to know Lucifer's identity.

However, when she saw that Lucifer turned his face to look at her, Raya Pazier immediately wiped off any traces of emotions on her face and just looked at Lucifer with a thin smile.

Naturally, though, Raya Pazier's excitement didn't escape Lucifer's eyes.

However, Lucifer just didn't care about any of that right now as he continued to speak.

”As some of you may know, I am a very old demon. I am probably one of the oldest demons still living in the world.”

”And the fact that I am the one of the oldest means that I am strong.”

”After all, the demon race, as history knows it, is always fighting against the Heavens.”

”In my time, you are lucky enough if you get to live past 100.”

”Some of the lucky ones might have lived long enough to be called an ancient demon, but I am more special than an ancient demon.”

”Now, do you know what is more special than an ancient demon?”

Lucifer said. Even though Lucifer said that he would tell them about himself now, he wouldn't really cut to the chase and say that he's Lucifer, one of the Hell Gods of the past.

After all, that would be a boring way to do it. That was why Lucifer decided to do a little backstory here as a way to humor himself.

And besides, Lucifer also wanted to make some fun with Raya Pazier as Raya Pazier is the one who had her father predict that an ancient demon would come and save her family.

After all, even though it is the truth that Lucifer is an ancient demon considering his age, his real identity outshines his identity as an ancient demon that it wouldn't even do him much justice to call him an ancient demon.

Anyway, Lucifer didn't really ask that question to anyone in particular, but someone still answered.

And it is, as expected, Raya Pazier who answered.

”There is no one else who could be considered to be more special than an ancient demon.”

”Two or more demons kings are needed to kill an ancient demon, and this is because ancient demons have grown stronger in time.”

”The more they grow old, the stronger they become. Naturally, not all ancient demons are like this, but all ancient demons have some sort of tricks under their sleeves, which is why they are universally accepted to be more special and stronger than demon kings.”

Raya Pazier said as she just kept this poker look on her face while talking.

And what she said was the truth.

Demon kings are demons who could be considered right below the Hell Gods.

Demon kings are really strong as well, especially if they are from Hell.

There are demon kings who are roaming the Hidden World, but those demon kings are pretty weak when compared to the demon kings from Hell.
