Chapter 35: Dealing with a Demon (1/2)

Ameanum could see the Demon's true form with his eyes as he was aware of her true nature. Also, the Illusion wasn't strong enough to work against his EAGLE EYES.

The female Demon noticed him and then disappeared and reappeared right in front of him as she moved at a speed that even Ameanum's eyes weren't able to keep up.

The Demon was stopped at breath distance from Ameanum.

Chains appeared at an even greater speed than her movements and went around her legs, arms, and neck.

”It is nice seeing you, Lucy. It's been some time since we last spoke.” [Ameanum]

The Demon tried to move, but the chains were stronger than her, and so have no other option; she just spat on him. Ameanum didn't even try to avoid it as there seemed like there was an invisible field around him that the spit hit it, not making contact with him.

Her spit was somewhat acidic, and there was a special seal on her that didn't allow her to do any damage to Ameanum.

She was Lucy, one of the General of Mephistopheles, the Lord of 8th Layer of Hell. She was the final boss of a special event that had happened some years ago, and the last part of it was for the Players to defeat her and seal her. As a reward, each one which survived till the end had access to ask her to fulfill one wish.

There were some limits on what she could do. Still, there were many game-breaking things she could allow them to do, but they had to be careful on what to ask as if they weren't clear enough, there may be some problems with the results.

An example was a Player asking for a Divine Weapon for him, which the Demon gave him. Still, it was a weapon that his class wasn't able to use as it had requirements that were impossible for him to get, and also, the weapon was bonded to him so no one else could use it. He couldn't even sell it as the weapon would teleport to him if it went more than 10 meters from him, and it would also deal no damage at all if he didn't meet all the requirements.

All the players looked forward to using this wish to their advantage but didn't notice that their action made the seal they created weaker. It was a trap of the System to make the players understand that things aren't as they look, and the Demon would get free if one player didn't take notice of it and decided not to make his wish.

And, of course, that player was Ameanum.

”Let's save the pleasantries, and let's get to work. I am here to do something you were looking forward to. I am here for my wish. ” [Ameanum]

The Demon was surprised at what Ameanum said, as she wasn't expecting it. She then sniffed the air Ameanum and seemed to notice something.

”Oh, I see. You aren't alive anymore. So do you want me to put a good word for you in the afterlife? Cause you should know I am not able to bring you back.” [Lucy]

Ameanum smiled at that.

”Of course not, and to tell the truth, I wasn't expecting you to notice my situation that quickly, but I am not here for that. I am here to request a specific item to be brought to me—a REINCARNATION POTION. One with no side effects and you should promise in your name that it will bring no harm to the one who consumes it or anyone else. Simple right?” [Ameanum]

The Demon called Lucy smiled on that and was ready to say something but got stopped by Ameanum.

”And when I mean your name, I don't mean your Demon Name but your real name [??????].” [Ameanum]

Ameanum said a name, but no sound seemed to get out of his mouth like a mysterious force didn't want the name to be heard, but it seemed at least it took the attention of the Demon.

”How do you know of it? This is something that no one in the realm should know.” [Lucy]

What she said was correct as there was no way for the players to know her name. Still, Ameanum had some inside information, and one of the developers had accidentally mentioned the Demon's name. This was because the Players had the chance to learn it during the event but didn't, and he was upset about it. He promised that he wouldn't use this at any point as knowing the real name hers was granting him power on her even more than the seal on her.

But it wasn't like he used the name to get anything game-breaking, so it shouldn't be much on breaking his promise.
