Chapter 8: Tell me what you know!

"I was wondering what you had to say..." Lucifer said as he looked down on Loraine.

His voice was angry, and his face was turned into a frown.

After all, who wouldn't be angry if the demons that you used to protect accused you of betrayal?

However, Lucifer wasn't really angry about that.

He already suspected that some things would change, or some new theories would be up in the open.

He already thought of that scenario when he decided to go out of his mansion one more time.

What he was angry about was how Loraine took so much time to say that.

That was, at least, 3 seconds of Lucifer's life!

"I kept you alive because I was going to ask you about the modern Hidden world, but it looks like there's no need for that."

Lucifer was seriously angry about that.

Back in the day, no demon would dare take 3 seconds from Lucifer's time!

Even 1 second was enough to bring them the capital punishment, and that was death, and yet, this woman actually dared to take 3 seconds?!

"Insane!" Lucifer said as he roused his mana once more!

He didn't care about the consequence of his actions right now.

After all, it was just his body that would be affected.

He just had to heal it one more time, and that was why Lucifer used his magic.

However, before Lucifer could use his magic on Loraine, Loraine spoke again.

"Are you going to send me to Purgatory as well?"

"A demon who is still fighting in wars, unlike you?"

"Unlike you, who turned his back on us demons?!"

Loraine raised her voice as she looked up at Lucifer!

However, that was not all she did.

As she was prostrating, it was hard for her, but she stood up fast!

And when her hands were revealed, some light was on it!

And that light was from the magic that Loraine was preparing when she was talking!

"Lucifer, the traitor!!" Loraine shouted as she swung her arms to punch Lucifer in the face!

Her hands that were shining in light were looking dangerous, and even Lucifer wouldn't be able to escape unscathed from it!

Why? It was because the magic was...

"Astaroth's light!"

...a magic that was based on one of the Hell Gods!

At least, that was what Loraine thought.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded out in the hallway when Loraine punched Lucifer in the face.

Smoke and specks of dust rose in the air that hindered Loraine's vision, but she still felt it.

'I felt a solid hit!' Loraine thought as she smiled.

After all, she felt like she hit a solid one, and even the magic on her hand exploded right on Lucifer's face!

Even a Hell God wouldn't be able to survive magic that came from another Hell God!

At least, that's what she thought.

However, that smile of hers soon dispersed as she heard a voice coming from the smoke.

"Fuck this body of mine...to think I can't even dodge an ant's fist because of it..."

"W-what..." Loraine muttered as she felt some kind of resistance in the fist that struck Lucifer.

She felt herself being pushed, and that was true as her arm was now shaking!

Shhhh.

Her feet slid off quite smoothly as that resistance continued pushing her.

And Loraine knew that it was Lucifer who was making that resistance.

That was why she was panicking. If Lucifer still isn't dead, that means it would be her who would die!

That was why her right hand moved faster than she could think!

She punched Lucifer's head once more, which was somewhere inside the smoke.

However, as Loraine felt Lucifer resisting, she could somehow tell its general location.

Boom!

Another loud explosion resounded out in this hallway as Loraine punched Lucifer once more.

'I hit him! But...'

But why do I still feel him pushing me?! Loraine thought as she tried hard not to get carried away by Lucifer's force.

However, she couldn't as Lucifer spoke once more.

"There are too many insolent demons nowadays, huh."

"First, you fuckers rob someone else's mansion."

"Second, you guys fucking proudly declare you are someone else's descendant."

"And now, you use dirty tricks to fool your opponent?!"

Lucifer used all his strength to push away the hand that was on his face.

Of course, he didn't use his hands to do that!

And despite that, Loraine lost her balance, and she got pushed away!

Shuuu! She flew in the air until she hit the wall in the distance!

Crack!

Her back hit the wall, and her bones cracked somehow, but that was the least of her problems.

After all, Lucifer was really angry right now!

That was why when Loraine looked up once more, she soon saw another devil floating in the air.

'The Gates of Purgatory...?' Loraine thought.

However, she couldn't think anymore as she felt that she was being sucked.

Right, Loraine felt like she was being sucked, and with an aggressive force!

"AHHHHHH!" Loraine screamed as she felt pain, as if her soul was being dragged away!

No, her soul was literally being taken away as some sort of transparent light was grabbing another transparent light!

And that was Loraine's soul being stuck by the devil's weapon.

And the one controlling the devil was, of course, Lucifer, who shouted.

"Grim Reaper: First Form!"

The devil floating in the air opened its mouth wide as it pulled its death scythe!

Loraine's body then fell over to the ground as her soul left her body!

The devil kept pulling its death scythe until Loraine's soul was right before Lucifer.

"How should I kill this rude bitch? Hmm." Lucifer said as he began thinking.

However, his thoughts ended when he remembered why he left this woman alive.

"Ah, fuck. Grimmy, make her able to speak."

There was only one reason why Lucifer left this woman alone while killing the other demons.

And that was to know the Hidden world through her.

"Grimmy, can she speak now? Make sure that she won't be able to lie."

Lucifer spoke as he looked at Grimmy, who was floating in the air.

And when Grimmy nodded his head, Lucifer looked at the soul floating right in front of him.

Lucifer then moved his right hand towards Loraine's soul as he spoke.

"Now, tell me what you know about the Hidden world."
