Chapter 57: Danger?

While Lucifer was walking towards the examination site, the house that he ate in...was full of people right now.

Those people were covered in some kind of robes, and even their faces were covered with some kind of cloth as well.

What's more, these people were equipped with swords and knives as well.

It was obvious that these people were here with the intention to do something bad.

However, these people were just standing around as they all looked at one person.

And that was...the woman who was lying down on the ground as she just kept sleeping.

Of course, these people were wary of the woman at first, but...when they noticed that the woman was indeed sleeping, they all came out of the shadows.

And this situation came to life. All of them were just watching the women sleep with deep confusion in their minds.

After all, they came here to fight and kidnap the woman.

How come the woman was already asleep when they haven't even done anything yet?

It was weird as hell, and it seems that the leader of the robed men thought so as well as he spoke up as he walked forward.

"What the hell is going on?" He said as he looked at the woman, their target.

The leader knew that the woman was strong, and that was why there were many demons who came here today to kidnap her.

They even prepared a spell that would keep their battle into this house only, and prevent loud noises from coming out of the house because they knew it was gonna get rowdy when they fight the woman.

And now...the woman was just sleeping soundly on the ground?

That doesn't make sense! What's more, the woman should have already felt that there are intruders in her home.

She should have felt that there are intruders and should be getting up now to prepare and fight against them.

Right, even if she was deeply sleeping, she should have felt them.

That was how strong the woman was, but now...she wasn't reacting to anything at all.

It was then that the vice leader of the group spoke as he walked up to the leader.

"We don't know what exactly happened, but...we got to take this chance."

"The young master is already waiting for her."

Of course, the leader of the robed men knew that very well. After all, that is the reason why he was sent here in the first place.

That was why the leader whipped his head towards the woman as he spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"Heh, the young master can't wait for the First Beauty of the Pazier, huh?"

"I can't believe that we destroyed the Denoble house, Pazier, just for the young master to attain this woman."

"The Warmester family really is the strongest Denoble house among the rest."

It was then that the leader turned around as he ordered his subordinates.

"Go tie her up, and go back to the mansion of the Warmester!"

"Yes!" Several men answered the leader as they jumped at the woman who was sleeping.

Of course, they did their work fast and they were able to tie up the woman with the surname of Pazier.

And while his men were tying up the woman, the leader called the vice leader.

"Investigate what happened to Raya Pazier before we came here."

"We need to know the reason why she left her guard down and is sleeping soundly."

And when the vice leader heard that, he just nodded his head.

He then turned around as he took some men with him, and they all disappeared as they went on to investigate what happened here.

Of course, when the leader saw that they disappeared now, he whipped his head towards the men who were carrying Raya Pazier.

"Let's go." He said as he disappeared.

No...it was not only him who disappeared but also the other men who were carrying Raya Pazier.

And it was in this way that the woman who 'fed' Lucifer was kidnapped.

****

Lucifer was now standing at the same spot he was standing earlier before he went to find some good food.

It seems that it didn't take him a long time to get back here.

Anyways, when he got back here, he soon saw that the parents were no longer scattered around like before.

Lucifer could tell that they probably went back to their homes with their children. 

Of course, that was not all that changed as Lucifer could see that the people who wore uniforms of the Eight Academies were no longer here as well.

It seems that the official hours for the entrance exam have ended now.

And since that it has ended, Asgo should be out right about now.

However, when Lucifer looked around and tried to find Asgo, he still couldn't find him.

Of course, that was not all Lucifer tried to do in order to find his subordinate as he also tried to use his senses.

He tried to feel if Asgo was near him or something like that, but...he still couldn't find him.

It was as if Asgo was now gone from the face of the land!

"Hah, good thing that I placed that curse on him beforehand..." Lucifer murmured as he looked at the building entrance.

The entrance had some stairs that looked like it was open for all people.

As the building was really big and all that, the entrance was pretty big as well.

It was then that Lucifer was finally able to see a familiar face emerge from that entrance.

And that familiar face was...Rachel, the woman who 'healed' Lucifer before.

'Hmm. She's not with Asgo?' Lucifer thought as he tried to find Asgo with her.

Lucifer has not activated the curse that would tell him of Asgo's location, so he thought that Asgo and Rachel would be together when he saw Rachel.

But...Rachel was alone and she was not walking with anyone else at all.

Of course, Rachel was still walking while Lucifer was looking at her.

And it seems that Rachel had good senses as she was able to feel that someone was looking at her.

Well, Lucifer was the only one present in this place right now so it was really easy to see him.

"Lucis!" Rachel said as she waved her hand. She then began to run up to Lucifer like a close friend or something.

It didn't take her a long time to reach Lucifer, and that was why Lucifer spoke as he looked at Rachel.

"Where's Asgo?"

Right...Lucifer immediately cut to the chase as he didn't want to waste any more time than he already had to waste.

"Asgo? He already left before me, and it seems like he was able to pass the exam. He'll be studying in the First Academy now."

"As for me...I wasn't able to pass the exam. Hehe."

Rachel said as she looked down a little bit. Her face...compelled with that sadness made her look like a pitiful woman.

However, Lucifer...had his guards up as he looked at Rachel. He was feeling that there was something going on behind the scenes with this woman.

His instincts were warning him, and his bountiful experiences were telling him that he...should stay away from this woman.

Right, Lucifer, the Hell God, could feel that he should stay away from Rachel at all costs.

And Lucifer's opinions for that matter was...

'Interesting. How can she make me feel like this when she's just an ant?'

Instead of warning Lucifer of the possible dangers, this situation piqued his interest.

After all, it's not every day that a demon would be able to make him feel like this.

Even back in the day when wars were eaten by both angels and demons, it was very rare for Lucifer to feel like this.

That was why...

'I want to know.'

Right, Lucifer wanted to know the reason why he was feeling like this with Rachel.

And in order for him to know, there was only one thing to do.

Threaten her and find out about the masked known as Rachel.

However, before even Lucifer could do something about that, Rachel...spoke again.

"But it's fine, you know? I don't really mind failing that exam."

"You wanna know why?"

Rachel said as she looked up to Lucifer. Lucifer was taller than her...so she had to look up to look at his eyes.

Right, Rachel was looking at Lucifer right in the eyes.

And strangely enough, Lucifer...could feel a chill run down his spine right now.

'So, she decided to come out with it.' Lucifer thought as he knew that what Rachel was going to say next was connected to him feeling this way around Rachel.

It was then that Rachel spoke as she...hugged Lucifer.

"It's because..."

Rachel said as she began to touch Lucifer's chest and...with her index finger, she traced Lucifer's heart.

Of course, Lucifer...let her do what she wanted and waited for her to speak more.

After all, Lucifer's instincts were shouting crazily right now.

The next moment should reveal the truth! Lucifer's instincts told him.
