Chapter 158: Veteran Demon

The carriage carrying Lucifer, Berde, and the brain finally took off after the brain successfully used the magic they needed to summon the horses once more.

Well, it was no brainer that the horses would begin to pull the carriage right away after being summoned by the brain.

Of course, now that they were moving, the brain...just remained standing still on where it was located before, and Berde was keeping an eye on the brain and Lucifer.

Even though they said that they would travel together and become 'friends,' that does not really mean that Berde would just trust Lucifer that he would not kill them or anything of the sort.

Naturally, since Berde is being able to do something like this under the brain's supervision, it means that the brain is allowing Berde to do something like this.

After all, even the brain recognizes that it would be stupid for him to leave Lucifer unguarded in this place.

Well, even if he and Berde do not pay attention to Lucifer, he would...still be paying attention to Lucifer in this place.

The place is small enough for them to see each other without even turning their heads around or anything of the sort.

Of course, Lucifer is also aware of the fact that Berde is not taking away his eyes off of him.

Even though Berde is not really looking at Lucifer directly with his eyes, his senses were with Lucifer, and because of Lucifer's superb senses, he is able to feel it.

But of course, none of this matters to Lucifer.

If it bothered Lucifer that Berde is looking at him all this time, then he would just say something about it.

And there is nothing the brain and Berde would be able to do.

After all, Lucifer is the one who is the most powerful demon in this carriage.

If he says that he does not like the fact that Berde is watching him closely, then they would have to stop doing that.

If they try to say some kind of bullshit, they know that Lucifer can just try and kill them.

Lucifer knows that he has this kind of option, but he did not do it.

This is because...it just did not matter to him at all.

And the reason why it did not matter to him is that...Lucifer's mind was all over the creator of the illusion, the one that gave the technique to the brain.

Since the magic itself was so interesting and new to Lucifer, Lucifer knew that he just had to see the creator of something like this personally.

There's not really a reason why he needs to see the creator of something like this, but...if Lucifer had to give a specific reason, then he would probably say that it is for the future.

Lucifer deems that this type of magic is a new kind of magic. It is not something that Lucifer can just replicate even though he is a Hell God.

Naturally, if a Hell God who focuses on illusions and summoning magic sees this kind of magic, then that Hell God might just be able to do it.

However, Lucifer is not that kind of Hell God.

But then, that just makes it all stranger that Lucifer is interested in something like this.

He is not a Hell God who specializes in illusion magic or anything of the sort, so he should not have any interest in illusion magic even if it's new or not.

Lucifer has already seen the magic circle of this type of magic, so he would be able to counter it the next time he sees another type of this magic.

That was why it is strange for Lucifer to even want to meet the creator of something like this.

But...this is where the main reason why Lucifer wants to meet the creator of something like this comes into play.

It is for the future.

Illusion magic is...not that really popular among demons since most demons see illusion magic as the coward's way of fighting.

The ones who only practice and use illusion magic in a fight are those who are born with it naturally or the ones who just really like illusion magic.

Of course, they number few when compared to the number of demons who practice the other kinds of magic.

And that is why Lucifer wanted to prepare for the future.

If magic such as illusion magic has been evolved into something like this when it is not really that popular, then...magic that is popular must have been evolved into something...far greater than before, too.

And to be able to prepare for something like that, Lucifer thought that it would be best if he met with the creator of this magic himself.

Lucifer does not really have any plans or ideas on how he would act around the creator of this magic.

Hell, he does not even know what he wants from the creator of this magic.

But Lucifer finds it imperative that he meets with the creator of this magic for the future.

Of course, that...does not really make any sense. If Lucifer could find an evolved version of illusion magic in this place, then he would be able to find it in the Luciferian Empire, too.

Luciferian Empire has a large amount of population. Its population is among hundreds of millions of demons.

And a population like that...Lucifer would be able to find millions of demons who would probably be using evolved magic.

Well, it's probably wrong to call it evolved magic, but in Lucifer's perspective, since he just came out of his place, he just sees it as evolved magic.

Anyway, that is the reason why it does not really make any sense for Lucifer to want to meet with the creator of this illusion technique since he can just see the evolved magic in the Luciferian Empire.

If he goes to a fight or a duel and observes the fighters, then he would definitely be able to find more information about the evolved magic.

It is so simple, and Lucifer knows that there is no need for him to meet with the creator of this magic.

But...there's something about the very complex structure of the magic circle that he just analyzed that makes Lucifer want to meet with the creator of the very complex structure of the magic circle.

Lucifer does not know what it is yet, and that is exactly what he wants to find out.

And that is the reason why Lucifer does not just give up a fuck if Berde is watching him or anything of the sort.

He is just too preoccupied with the creator of this illusion magic that he just does not give a fuck.

Of course, that is not the only thing that Lucifer is focused on right now.

He is also focused on how he would be able to meet the creator of this illusion magic.

In other words, he is trying to think up ways to make the brain and Berde tell him where they got the magic from.

Naturally, Lucifer has thought using violence would solve his current problem, but Lucifer shook his head at the thought not long after thinking about it.

This is because he knew that they might just become stubborn and not tell him about the creator.

Or...they might be friends with the creator of the illusion magic and they might end up thinking that Lucifer is out to kill the creator, thus making them seal their lips.

Lucifer has experienced torturing angels himself to make them cough up the location of other angels, and he knows very well that it would be hard for him to make someone rat on his buddies.

That is why Lucifer immediately crossed out the idea of using violence to make them tell the identity of the creator of the illusion magic.

However, if one thinks about it, without violence...Lucifer cannot really do anything.

Of course, Lucifer can try killing them and summoning the Grim Reaper to make them talk, but...Lucifer has figured that it would be hard.

It was easy when he did it to the girl when he first tried coming out of his room after thousands of years since the girl was inexperienced on how to guard her soul.

But veteran demons know how to guard their soul. Naturally, Lucifer is capable of ripping their soul even if they guard against it.

But...with the current condition of Lucifer, it would just be too much to ask if he could rip open the guards on the souls of veteran demons.

And as far as Lucifer has observed, Berde is a veteran demon.

Of course, Lucifer might have been able to dominate against him in battle, but that is just because that is Lucifer's specialty.

He is specialized in fighting against someone, so it is easy for him to do it.

But...as weird it may be, Lucifer does not specialize in souls.

So...it would really be hard for him to do it.

But...that was only the case for veteran demons.

'The brain...is not a veteran demon...' Lucifer thought as he realized this.
