Chapter 9: Lesser Demon

"Tell me what you know about the Hidden world." Lucifer said as he grabbed Loraine's soul.

This soul was under the control of the Grim Reaper that he summoned, which means that it was under his control.

That was why Lucifer was sure about this method.

"Hmm. First, tell me if what you said earlier is true. Am I considered as a traitor in the demon society?"

Lucifer wanted to know if what Loraine said was true. After all, Lucifer has been gone for a bit too long.

He knew that there would come a time when the demons of today would misunderstand what happened in the past.

Well, Lucifer didn't really care about being branded as a traitor.

After all, the only thing that would come out of that is hindering his movements between kingdoms and territories.

He could even just kill pursuers or people who want to catch him.

If demon society actually wanted to catch Lucifer, they would have sent all the Demon Kings that they got.

Even with that, there was no telling who would win.

Well, Lucifer just wanted to know if he would have to go undercover or something like that.

Although it wasn't his style, Lucifer knew how weak he was right now.

That was why taking risks boldly when he couldn't commit to it was a wrong move, and Lucifer knew that with all his heart.

It was then that Loraine spoke without moving her mouth.

Well, she was just a soul now, and what's more, she is now just a mere puppet.

"No...You're not a traitor. I made it up to try and make an opening."

"I knew it; bitches of Astaroth really do the same things even if thousands of years have passed." Lucifer said as he shook his head.

He knew that the notion of him being a traitor was ridiculous. After all, he was a Hell God.

And you cannot just convict a Hell God of a betrayal with no proofs or anything like that.

Lucifer then looked at the soul that he was grabbing as if he were looking down on it and spoke.

The aura that Lucifer had on his person suddenly changed as it turned sharp!

The power and pressure coming from Lucifer became rougher and wild as if it were an animal that has been released from its lock!

"What is the reason for Astaroth to send you in this place?"

After all, the question that Lucifer asked would change the way he handled things.

If Astaroth were the one who sent the intruders to his home, Lucifer wouldn't just let it slide.

However, it seems his concerns were exaggerated, as Loraine proved it when she spoke.

"I am only a Lesser Demon. Astaroth does not look at me."

It was then that Lucifer widened his eyes as he looked at Loraine's soul.

His body began shaking, and his feet took a step backward as if he couldn't believe it.

He then shouted out loud as he squashed Loraine's soul.

"What?! Lesser Demon?! You are?!"

"...Yes."

As Loraine's soul was under Lucifer's control, she wasn't allowed to react to the pain or even stutter a little bit.

That was why she was able to answer Lucifer's answer straight away even though her soul was almost gone now.

However, Lucifer didn't care about that at all as he threw Loraine's soul into the air.

Grimmy, however, just reeled Loraine's soul back while watching Lucifer...convulse?

Right now, Lucifer was twitching his body to the left and right as if his body was changing.

No...he just couldn't believe it!

That was how unbelievable it was for Lucifer; it was unbelievable for him that Loraine is just a Lesser Demon!

"I...My body is so bad that I got punched by a Lesser Demon?!!"

FUCKKK!!! Lucifer screamed as his mana went wild in this place!

However, Grimmy was too considerate for Lucifer that Grimmy also took care of that as he wrapped the area around Lucifer in a ball of chains.

Crack!

The chains cracked, and it got rowdy that it almost got blown away, but it didn't break or something like that.

It was actually able to hold against Lucifer's outburst of mana!

A few seconds have passed, and Grimmy finally made the chains go away as he looked at Lucifer.

"Fuck! This is just bullshit!" Lucifer said as he looked at his hands.

It was normal that he would react this way when he learned that the one who punched him is a Lesser Demon.

Lucifer is a demon who once stood at the apex. He was one of the Hell Gods before he started reading like a madman.

And a Lesser Demon is the lowest of the lowest in the demons' rankings.

A Lesser Demon is just an ant! A weakling that one could find anywhere!

And yet, a Lesser Demon is actually able to punch Lucifer.

That fact pissed Lucifer off more than anything else.

However, it's not like he could change the fact now since it already happened.

"Haaaa. So, I'm this weak." Lucifer said as he straightened his body.

He then swept his hair up with his hands, and his eyes looked sharp.

"Lesser Demon...really." Lucifer said as he breathed in and out.

He tried hard to calm himself as nothing would happen if he just continued raging.

There weres more knowledge to learn from the rude bitch that he just captured.

That was why after calming himself, he looked at Grimmy as he spoke.

"Bring her down."

When Grimmy heard what Lucifer said, he brought down Loraine's soul as slow as possible.

There's no doubt that a single attack from Grimmy would be able to wipe out Loraine's soul right now.

With how Lucifer handled her soul, she was just a wisp now.

And when she was right before Lucifer, she looked extremely small.

Why? It was because Lucifer's aura was so big right now that it looks like he was the whole world.

And with that pressure, he spoke.

"You better have a lot of knowledge, or else..."

I'll fucking make you meet a fate much harsher and crueler than Purgatory.
