Chapter 133: Blood Guardian (1/2)

'Both of them...are in a vulnerable state...a state where I can kill them both, right here right now.'

Oumu thought as he looked down at Lucifer, who was buckling down, and Nocturnal Phantom, who couldn't even be seen anymore.

Of course, Oumu was tempted by this situation. The Warmester Denoble House is the house that Oumu pledged his loyalty to.

The Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House is the man to who Oumu pledged his loyalty.

It was only natural that...if given the chance, Oumu would want to avenge his master and bring justice to the Warmester Denoble House.

And even though he is a friend to Rouge, he would also want to make Rouge meet justice and bring him down from his current position that wasn't even meant to be his.

Of course, just because Oumu really did agree to betray the Warmester Denoble House, it's not like...he could just ignore the temptation that he was seeing right now.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Hell, this might be the only chance that a demon would get to kill Lucifer.

That was why...it was tempting...for someone like Oumu, who could possibly be a servant to Lucifer for the rest of his life.

However, the pressure from this temptation was strong.

Why? It was because...as soon as Oumu started to look favorably into finishing Lucifer and Nocturnal Phantom off, the scenery changed.

Because Oumu was looking at Lucifer knowing that he is an ally, a servant of Lucifer, there was nothing like this before.

However, now that he was looking at Lucifer as an enemy, someone who he needs to kill, the pressure...just turned on all of a sudden.

It was like not feeling the fire next to you because the wind is blowing the fire away to the other side.

That was why it was certainly not easy for Oumu to just suddenly take the temptation.

'Do I do it?' Oumu thought to himself as he saw Lucifer cough out another bowlful of blood on the ground.

He must be extremely weak right now for his body to just cough out blood like that!

Look! He can't even stand anymore and needs someone to hold his knees! This must be a sign that he's weak enough!

Weak enough for me to kill him!

Those were Oumu's inner thoughts as he tried to contemplate if he would be successful in killing Lucifer.

However...even though Oumu's inner thoughts were definitely the truth, Oumu...still didn't jump on the opportunity.

Why? It was because...it was just impossible to succeed.

Oumu knew that Lucifer is the one who killed the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

And it is more than likely that the Six Pillars of the Warmester Denoble House are with the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House when Lucifer killed him.

In other words, Lucifer not only killed the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House but also the Six Pillars of the Warmester Denoble House.

And now, Oumu is a demon who cannot even match up to a single pillar of the Warmester Denoble House.

Even though he is the demon in charge of the duty of war, he can't really handle even a single one of them.

And now, there is a guy here who is more than likely to have killed all of them, all at the same time.

Trying to kill Lucifer in his current condition is like saying that Oumu would be able to kill the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House since he is very old as well.

That was why it was just impossible to succeed.

And now that Oumu has calculated that it was impossible to succeed and that it would be impossible to kill Lucifer and Nocturnal Phantom even in their current conditions, Oumu decided to just do what a normal servant would do.

And that is to help his distressed master, which is Oumu did as he kneeled on the floor and grabbed Lucifer's shoulders.

”Lucis! Are you alright?! What's happening to you?!” Oumu said those words with a look that just seems to scream how worried he was.

It seems that Oumu is also a very good actor. Well, he had to be able to do something like this to be in charge of a very important department within the Warmester Denoble House.

However, when Oumu touched Lucifer's body...there was something crazy that happened.

And that was...the blood on the ground...the blood of Lucifer...suddenly started to float in the air.

No, it didn't just float in the air, but it also made Oumu remove his hands from Lucifer's shoulders!

”H-Huh? What's going on? What is this...” Oumu murmured as he looked at his hands being covered by Lucifer's blood.

Even though it was blood and blood was supposed to be disgusting, it didn't feel that way for Oumu.

In fact, Oumu felt stronger, rejuvenated, and better than before.

Well, this is just because...in the demon's world, Lucifer's blood is considered to be holy water.

After all...Lucifer's blood is a Hell God's blood.

However, that was not the most important point as Oumu's hands were finally removed from Lucifer's shoulders.
