[Dont worry, my dear.] Lucifer calmed down the middle-aged woman while smiling. [I have already thought of a place for our Lucis to live.]

Wh-Where? The woman looked up at Lucifer with shaking eyes.

Lucifer whispered while staring at Kim Si-Hun, [There is a world known as Earth.]

Earth The woman tilted her head in confusion from a word that she had never heard of before.

[We will start anew there.]

Another world

The woman gulped from what she had never even thought about. It was certainly not a bad idea.

I see, that was an option! She nodded her head in delight.

Earth, you say? Si-Hun bared his teeth fiercely. He clenched the sword handle as if he were trying to break it and shouted, I will not let you have your way!

There was no way that he would allow the demon to lay his hands on Earth on top of Aernor. Si-Hun infused Ludwig with his Qi and elongated the condensed sword energy. Lucifer raised his hand as he stared at Si-Hun, who was about to charge toward him at any second.

[I believe I told you that this party is not for you.]

What the hell are you talking about after pulling all this shit?!

Lucifer pointed at the black Rift above the imperial castle while smiling. Hideous green tentacles were wriggling out from it. Undead demonic beasts that had attacked the party venue were also pouring out from it.

Wh-What the

The problem was that they were not heading toward the castle, but toward the imperial capital. Si-Hun was not dumb enough to not know what that meant.

You crazy son of a bitch!!

It was not hard to imagine what would happen if those demonic beasts were left to run amok in the capital; countless people would be eaten alive by the demonic beasts. Although the capital could not be considered peaceful, many people lived in it, and Hell would befall them in an instant.

Those people have done nothing!!

That was true; if Lucifer was truly planning on taking revenge for that middle-aged woman, his targets should naturally only be the nobles.

[Youre absolutely right.] Lucifer nodded. [They did nothing.]

[All they did was blabber unsightly complaints. All they do is sit in bars and shout that the world is going wrong, as if that would change anything.]

They looked down at the world in arrogance.

[No one took action.]

They did not think, resist, nor act.

[Not even when they were pathetically spending their days like livestock. That is their sin.]

Lucifer slowly turned around. Split. A three-meter-tall Rift formed in front of him. He walked toward it.

Where do you think youre going?!

Si-Hun could not afford to let Lucifer go. He quickly charged toward him, but

[Do you have the leeway to face me?] freewebnove(l).com

Si-Hun stopped in his tracks.

[There are still many beasts remaining in the castle.] Lucifer glanced at the demonic beasts that were bowing their heads toward him. [I command you, my retainers.]

He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Princess Iris behind Si-Hun.

Eek! Iris exclaimed while crouching.

Lucifer ordered without interest, [Kill her.]

Skreeeee!!!

Grrrrr!!

The demonic beasts that had been bowing down stood up and charged toward Iris while baring their teeth. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Kuh!

Si-Hun turned away from Lucifer and swung his sword at the demonic beasts.

[Well, then] Lucifer waved his hand with his back toward Si-Hun. [I will be waiting for the day we meet again.]

Lucifer disappeared into the black Rift.

***

Oh Kang-Woo walked out into a dark plain outside the capital.

[Fuuu,] he sighed.

He was still in the form of Lucifer because there was still plenty of time until Mimicry would be undone.

[I guess the first step was a succ]

Lucifer, why have we left already?

For fucks sake, why did you follow me, lady?

Kang-Woo turned toward the voice.

How did she even manage to follow me?

The black Rift that he had created using an Authority was one meant for demons, which only those with demonic energy could pass through. However, this woman had managed to pass through it without issue, meaning

I knew she wasnt just a normal human.

Kang-Woo could feel thick demonic energy from her. The fact that she had not turned into a demon or demonic beast despite having such demonic energy meant that she had perfect control over it.

A black mage, huh?

He had heard that there were people in Aernor who possessed demonic energy but could still maintain their human appearance.

Werent you going to tear the nobles apart in front of me?

The middle-aged woman stared at Lucifer, unable to understand why he had left the venue right when they were about to exact their revenge. Kang-Woo fell into thought while staring at her.

Should I kill her?

Si-Hun was no longer here, so it would be a piece of cake to end the facade and eliminate her.

No.

Kang-Woo shook his head. He couldnt afford to get rid of the valuable pawn that was Lucifers wife.

Im sure shell be of use later on.

He had no idea where the real Lucifer was nor what he was doing. This woman could be able to become the link between Kang-Woo and Lucifer.

[No, it is not yet the right time.]

What do you mean?! We could have killed them all right then and there! the middle-aged woman shouted angrily.

Horrifying bloodlust poured out from her crumpled face.

Witch.

The woman wrapped in madness perfectly matched the word that popped up in Kang-Woos mind.

A witch, huh?

He smiled and approached her. He swept back her silver hair and caressed her cheek.

[Calm down.]

Kang-Woo continued softly, [Death is nothing.]

Pardon?

[ I said, death is nothing.] Snicker. Kang-Woo continued as his eyes filled with madness, [Only life is true agony.]

Ah

The woman trembled, and her eyes opened wide. She could easily understand what Lucifer was trying to say.

[Are you truly okay for your revenge to end so easily?]

N-No! I cant let it end like this, after everything Ive been through! the woman answered while nodding furiously.

Kang-Woo smiled. [In that case, trust me and wait just a little longer.]

Okay. Ill wait. I will wait as long as I need to, my love.

The middle-aged woman entered Kang-Woos embrace, and they kissed passionately once again.

Lucifer

The woman slightly pulled down her dress with her eyes hazy.

Whoa, whoa. Calm down, maam. Calm down.

Hngh, Lucifer

Calm down! Fucking calm doooooooown!

[Im sorry. Its time for me to go.]

What do you mean, you have to go? A-Are you going to leave me again?

Lucifer turned around, his eyes filled with sorrow. [Im sorry I cannot stay by your side.]

D-Dont go, Lucifer! Take me with you!

[I cannot do that.]

Why?

[I cannot tell you right now.]

Lucifer lightly trembled, and then turned around to embrace her fiercely again.

[One day I will tell you everything.]

Lucifer

Transparent tears flowed down the womans cheeks. Lucifer gradually began to turn into black smoke.

L-Lucifer!

The woman grabbed Lucifer in surprise, but he only slipped through her grasp. Lucifer, who was disappearing in smoke, reached his hand out toward her, their hands overlapping in the air.

[Until we meet again]

Okay! I will wait, Lucifer! No matter how long it takes, I!

Lucifer completely vanished without being able to hear the final part of her sentence.

***

Haaa, haaa!

Si-Hun, who had cut down hundreds of demonic beasts, panted heavily. The demonic beasts with green tentacles were far stronger than the ones from the first wave that had attacked the party venue.

The guards! The imperial guards have arrived!

Where the hell have you been?!

Several people might have died if the imperial guards had not come as reinforcements. Si-Hun quickly turned around after having managed to kill every single demonic beast in the castle. The crisis was not over yet.

The capital is in danger.

The demonic beasts that had poured out from the Rift in the air were heading to the capital.

Your Highness! We must stop the demonic beasts from reaching the capital!

O-Okay! I understand! Iris nodded and turned her head toward the guards. Imperial guards, hear me! Set out from the castle immediately and protect the citiz

While she was commanding the imperial guards, her expression suddenly froze and she turned pale.

Huh? Wh-Why?

Iris grabbed her head, unable to understand. She began to tremble.

Your Highness? Si-Hun frowned.

Iris stuttered, I-Imperial guards S-Stay here and protect the c-castle.

What are you saying?! Si-Hun yelled with his eyes wide.

The demonic beasts were heading to the capital, but she wanted to leave the imperial guards here?

Argh

Iris bit her lip in pallor. She averted her gaze from Si-Hun and lowered her head, her hands clenching on her dress shaking.

Th-There might still be demonic beasts remaining in the castle. I-Imperial guards p-protect the castle.

Si-Hun bared his teeth from the absurdity. Your Highness!

He clenched his teeth while glaring at Iris, but she only lowered her head in pallor.

Shit!

Si-Hun could not afford to waste any more time. He quickly turned around and ran toward the bridge connecting the imperial castle and the capital. The demonic beasts that were trying to head to the capital were gathered there. They were crossing the bridge extremely slowly for some reason.

Skreeeee!!

Kuh!

Si-Hun blocked the bridge to the capital and raised his sword. Hundreds of demonic beasts had come out from the Rift.

Ill protect them.

Si-Hun quickly glanced back. The citizens of the empire had come out due to the huge commotion and were staring at Si-Hun facing the demonic beasts in surprise. Si-Huns heart set ablaze.

Whatever it takes!

Fwoosh!!

White light burst out from Si-Hun, dyeing the darkness white.

***

Shit, shit, shit! An old man in white vestments was swearing in a luxurious room. He shouted with a shaky voice, E-Evil God Lucifer Wh-What the hell is going on?!

His expression crumpled.

She wants to let the imperial guards out in a situation like this? Crazy bitch!

Pant, pant. Fidelios shoulders trembled in fury. He clenched the transparent orb in his hand so hard that it could break. It was a magic tool imbued with telepathy magic. Unlike a communication crystal that only transmitted sound, this was an advanced magic tool that could transmit ones voice directly into a targets brain. If Fidelio had not taken quick measures, Iris would have sent the imperial guards to the capital.

It seems Fidelios eyes narrowed. It seemed he would have to give Iris another lesson.

Fuuu, Fidelio sighed and leaned back on a chair.

It felt like his plan that had been going smoothly was going awry as of late.

And those morons that joined forces with a black mage What in the world

The rebel army that he had supplied with various armaments and training instructors had joined forces with a black mage out of the blue, but they had failed in the one job they had despite that.

Useless sons of bitches.

Fidelio frowned as if his head hurt. Just then, someone knocked on his door, and the door slowly opened.

Youre Fidelio turned toward the uninvited guest that had entered his room.

Oh, Im glad you see youre alright. The young man with sharp eyes extended his hand toward Fidelio while smiling brightly. Weve met before, havent we? My name is Oh Kang-Woo.
