Chapter 139: Servant

"I have an idea," Oumu said as he looked at the Blood Guardian with a serious look on his face.

Of course, Oumu had an idea. No, it would be more correct to say that he is creating an idea to solve this current situation now.

Since Oumu now confirmed that Lucifer is indeed Lucifer, there is no way that Oumu would try to betray him or even try to attack him anymore.

Even though Lucifer is in a bad state right now, the Blood Guardian would still be able to squash Oumu's head like a piece of bug that he is and die.

What's more, Oumu is just a normal demon. And Lucifer is his God.

Even though there are demons who want to become better than their Gods, Oumu is not like that.

Hell, Oumu is even happy to know that he has met one of the Hell Gods of the past.

That is why...it would make Oumu more than happy...to know that he would be able to help a God.

After all, how tiny is his existence when compared to Lucifer?

Just knowing that he was able to sustain a great existence like Lucifer is enough to make Oumu be proud to be a demon.

That was why Oumu was using every single brain cell that he had to make sure that he would be able to come up with a solution as fast as possible.

But...it seems that the Blood Guardian's mouth was faster as he spoke.

"What is it - that idea of yours?" The Blood Guardian asked Oumu with quite the sharp eyes.

Well, this is only natural. Although Oumu said that he is also a servant of Lucifer, that does not mean that the Blood Guardian would believe him without any problems at all.

What's more, since this is a matter that concerns Lucifer's life itself, the Blood Guardian's guards were more higher than ever.

After all, this is the reason why the Blood Guardian was created - to protect Lucifer's life at all costs.

And since this random servant was saying that he had an idea that could possibly help save Lucifer's life, the Blood Guardian would want to make sure that it would be as safe as possible, and as fast as possible.

If the Blood Guardian spots even one bullshit spouted by Oumu, the Blood Guardian would quickly abort it and kill Oumu.

The Blood Guardian is definitely not joking around when it comes to his master's life.

However, even though the Blood Guardian asked Oumu about his idea, Oumu still did not answer.

Well, this is because he still has not finished thinking of a solution.

Of course, this made the Blood Guardian...wait for his answer.

Why? It was because the Blood Guardian didn't even know what to do in this situation.

Although the Blood Guardian is definitely a special existence, that does not mean that he is all-knowing or anything of the sort.

All he knows is how to preserve his master's life with his natural ability, but now that his natural ability is not working, the Blood Guardian is lost in this situation.

Because of this, the Blood Guardian wanted to know what was Oumu's idea, which could possibly solve their current situation.

It would be better for Oumu to say his idea rather than the Blood Guardian.

At least, that's what the Blood Guardian believed.

Why? The reason is quite simple.

Oumu is the one who explained to the Blood Guardian about Lucifer's current condition.

If it were not for him, then the Blood Guardian might actually put his master's life at risk even more than now.

Just that simple act alone made the Blood Guardian...have some trust and confidence in Oumu.

That was why he just waited for Oumu to answer his question, thinking that Oumu is just hesitating for some kind of reason.

And because of this, Oumu was given the amount of time that he needed to come up with something.

Well, what he thought of isn't really the solution to Lucifer's body condition.

It would be absurd if he could come up with a solution since Lucifer himself couldn't even cure himself.

Anyway, this is what Oumu thought of, and he said this to the Blood Guardian.

"You're the Blood Guardian, and your sole purpose is to heal Lucifer's body when he is about to lose his life, right?"

"You have a natural ability that can heal his body just by being awake."

"Am I correct?" Oumu asked the Blood Guardian.

And even though the Blood Guardian found it weird that Oumu asked this since he already told him about this, the Blood Guardian still answered.

"That's right. I was created to heal my master." The Blood Guardian said while looking at Oumu.

And as soon as he said those words, Oumu spoke.

"Then...what if you do it consciously?" Oumu...asked the Blood Guardian.

However, it seems that the Blood Guardian was unable to understand the point of his question.

"What do you mean?" The Blood Guardian asked Oumu.

And after hearing that kind of question, Oumu then took a step forward, getting a little bit closer to the Blood Guardian.

"You said that you are able to heal Lucifer just by being awake, and it is something amazing, too, since you can pull him back to life in just a few seconds while in a battle, too."

"However, what if you did it...on purpose, not just subconsciously? What if you...healed Lucifer himself, trying to control that ability of yours? Wouldn't that make the healing more effective since you...are basically that ability?" Oumu said.

And what he said was...something that could be considered to be mind-blowing.

Why? It was because the Blood Guardian has never even thought of his ability in this way.

Well, it was only natural since his ability always worked. However, now that his master's body has crippled even his Demon Authority, the Blood Guardian, there is nothing that the Blood Guardian can do.

In fact, it would be wrong of the Blood Guardian to just rely on his natural ability always since that's basically taking his ability for granted.

But...it was the truth of the matter that the Blood Guardian has never ever realized something so simple like this.

And since the Blood Guardian never even thought of himself in this way, he...didn't know the answer to Oumu's question.

"That's...something that even I do not know. Whenever I am awake, I am able to heal my master."

"In other words, I am completely inexperienced in doing something like that."

The Blood Guardian said.

It was kind of ironic, to be honest. It was ironic that the Blood Guardian, whose sole purpose is to heal Lucifer back to full health, does not know how to control his power.

If one thinks about it, the Blood Guardian is somewhat like a spoiled child who cannot accomplish something once his guardian, Lucifer, is taken away from him.

After all, that's where his power stems from.

However, it's not like his answer would satisfy Oumu right now.

The Blood Guardian is a special existence, and he is even a Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer.

There's no way that the Blood Guardian would not have some kind of secret trick up his sleeve.

That was why Oumu spoke to convince the Blood Guardian.

"Inexperienced or not, you have to try it. This is Lucifer's life we are talking about."

"If you do not do something, you would have failed to do the very thing that you excel on."

"Do you really want to risk your master's life just because of your hesitation?"

Oumu said without any hesitation. Well, it was only natural that he would have no hesitation while saying those words.

After all, he knew that the Blood Guardian wouldn't get offended or do something stupid in his master's condition.

Anyway, when the Blood Guardian heard those words, he spoke right away, seemingly thought of a convenient excuse.

"Let's say I do really focus on trying to heal my master. That would mean that I would not be able to protect my master by being able to use his powers."

"And if my master is slain while I am focusing...that is not a risk that I am willing to take." The Blood Guardian said.

And what he said was the truth. If the Blood Guardian indeed tried to focus on healing Lucifer, he would have to give up the other side of his power, the power of being able to control Lucifer's body and powers.

And by doing so, he would not be able to protect Lucifer.

But...it's not like there are enemies in the place where they were right now.

"And? Who would possibly kill Lucifer in this situation?" Oumu asked.

However, he is not done yet as he continued to speak.

"I understand that you do no have enough trust in me as I am practically new."

"But that does not matter. A servant is a servant. And you...are also a servant of Lucifer."

"And a servant who does not do his duties is not a servant."

Oumu said those words.
