Chapter 101: Enemy?

"Lucis! I found her!" is what the voice said, and as soon as Lucifer heard those words, Lucifer shot open his eyes and moved towards the source of the voice.

Of course, it was obvious but the owner of the voice is Rouge, the man who is present in this room other than Lucifer.

And where Rouge was located right now was...in the room.

Right, he was not in this room, but instead, he was...under the room.

In other words, he was deeper underground right below this room.

Lucifer could finally see the reason why the woman and the sixth son showed up at the same place and yet they were not together when Lucifer saw the sixth son.

And that's because the woman was below a floor from where the sixth son was located in.

Although Lucifer could see through things and realize that he is looking through something with his Demon Eyes: Burning Soul, Lucifer prioritized closing his eyes when he saw and determined that he found the sixth son, so he didn't really have the time to double-check things through or something like that.

Anyway, when Lucifer reached the floor below the room where the sixth son was located, Lucifer could finally see the woman that he was looking for.

She was just lying on the bed with her eyes closed, unmoving. It seems that she has fallen asleep.

She also got some clothes, and it was the clothes that the woman was wearing the first time Lucifer met her.

And this basically means that nothing has been done to her, yet. As soon as Lucifer realized this, he could feel his emotions calming down and he even instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, knowing that nothing was done to the woman yet was definitely a relief for Lucifer even though he didn't know the reasons why.

'Damn it...why am I acting like this just because of a woman? I don't understand myself...' Lucifer thought as he looked at the woman with fierce eyes.

However, it seems that Lucifer didn't have the time to think about this anymore as Rouge, the one who found the woman, spoke.

"Lucis, what do I do? Should I wake her up?" Rouge said.

Of course, Rouge finally understood why Lucifer was rushing to go towards the location of where the sixth son was.

It was all for the purpose of this woman. And naturally, Rouge thought that this woman was Lucifer's woman.

After all, it is only natural for him to think like that after seeing Lucifer, who was always acting calmly and reserved, rush here.

That was why Rouge asked Lucifer first before doing anything to the woman.

Hell, Rouge didn't even check if the woman was alive or anything of the sort because he didn't want Lucifer to misunderstand something.

That was how...scared Rouge was when it comes to the nightmares that Lucifer can give him.

"No. You don't have to wake her up. After all, she's...awake already." Lucifer said while looking at the woman.

And as soon as he said those words, a noise came from the direction of the woman, "What the!"

Turning his head to look at the woman, Rouge soon saw something...crazy.

And that was...the woman was somehow holding a sword out as she leaped to attack Lucifer!

"You bastard! Where did you take me!" The woman shouted out loud while flying towards Lucifer.

However, she came to an abrupt stop as Lucifer created a barrier of mana around the woman, forcing the woman...to float in the air.

"You think you can stop me with something like this!? I'll break this fragile wall of yours with this!" The woman swung her swords towards the barrier, and as expected, the sword...broke.

"W-what..." The woman murmured with disbelief in her eyes.

It was only natural for this to happen as the barrier was made with Lucifer's mana.

There's no way that a puny sword that came from a random woman would be able to destroy a barrier made with Lucifer's mana.

"Hmm. Come to think of it, the first time we met, you said something about me being an assassin from the Warmester."

"I see now. They took advantage of me knocking you out, and then kidnapped you, bringing you here."

"I assume this is done by the sixth son that I just killed before."

"Tsk. To think that my actions would actually benefit a pig."

Lucifer said all those words while looking at the woman who is floating in the air.

Of course, what he said was definitely the truth as that was just what happened before in the woman's house...in Raya Pazier's house.

"What are you saying! Are you not one of them! You are a bastard who came into my house without any permission and directed ill will towards me!" The woman said as she looked at Lucifer with anger on her face.

Well...this was only natural as well. As far as the woman's memory goes, the last one she met up with was Lucifer.

She hasn't woke up yet from the time Lucifer caused her to lose her consciousness during the time they fought.

And now that she's suddenly in a different place, it's only natural for her to think that Lucifer is the one who brought her here, not someone else.

Incidentally, the reason why she didn't wake up at all even though quite a few days have passed ever since they first met is because of Lucifer's strength. Lucifer knocked her out so bad that her body just couldn't wake up.

Anyways, when Lucifer heard those words, he...just turned around as he began to walk away from this place, heading towards the upper floor where the corpse of the sixth son was located.

Of course, he was moving the barrier of mana that was holding Raya Pazier and he brought her with him this way.

Rouge just...followed along without saying anything with an awkward look on his face.

Well, it was only natural for him to feel awkward from this situation. Just from how the conversation went, it is clear as day that Raya Pazier is not Lucifer's woman.

And this made it all the more awkward. After all, it was also clear as day that they were not friends either or anything of the sort.

In fact, one would be able to say that they are enemies at this point.

And now, Rouge's master, Lucifer, actually rushed towards this place just to save an enemy?

It was something that Rouge wouldn't be able to understand because he personally saw how cruel Lucifer can be.

There's no way that Lucifer would save an enemy as he would just thoroughly kill them.

That was why it made things more awkward for Rouge, and this just made him shut his mouth up as he followed after the two.

While they were walking, Raya Pazier never let down her guard and kept on talking to distract Lucifer and Rouge.

That was not all the purpose as she was also hoping that she would get information out of them by talking to them.

After all, she just woke up right in the middle of nowhere, she got no clues about her whereabouts and what this place was.

Although she could guess that this is the headquarters of the Warmester Denoble House, she doesn't know where exactly she was.

However, there came a time when Raya Pazier shut her mouth up.

And that was when she saw the corpse of the sixth son, lying on the ground.

As this man was the cause of her family's fall and why her life has been miserable, Raya Pazier naturally knew who the sixth son was.

She also knew his background, strength...literally everything about him.

Even though this man caused the fall of her family, Raya Pazier still had some ways to gain information so it was no brainer for her to find out what her enemy looked like.

And it was precisely because she knew who her enemy is that she just shut up as her eyes widened.

She...couldn't help but doubt what was right in front of her eyes. She couldn't believe it.

Why? A powerful man in the Zacharath Kingdom was lying on the ground right in front of her, his body was lifeless and blood was flowing out of his wound.

It was...definitely impossible for something like this to happen. Even more so as this place was the headquarters of the Warmester Denoble House.

And while confusion was evident in Raya Pazier's mind, Lucifer spoke while looking down on the corpse of the sixth son.

"I'm the one who killed this man."

"Now tell me, am I still one of them just as you've said?"

"Incidentally, I am also the reason why you are still alive and healthy right now. After all, if I didn't kill him, who knows what might have happened to you and your body."

"Now, how about being a little bit grateful to me before trashing me around, huh?"

"Even though I'm interested in you, I wouldn't hesitate to kill you at the drop of a hat."

Lucifer said all those words with fierce killing intent roaming in the air, surrounding Raya Pazier.
