On the corner of the forest where Riser's resort town was located, two figures tried their best to enter this place.
"What the hell?!"
The monkey-like young man, Bikou, kept complaining as his heart was filled with fear, as he almost died many times.
"Why the heck did he put so many traps, nyaa?!"
Even the cat's young woman, Kuroka, felt furious and annoyed by the many traps that they encountered during their trip.
Bikou and Kuroka were youkai, and each of them had many unique abilities that could help them invade many places easily. To be honest, until now, they hadn't encountered a place that they couldn't enter with their abilities.
However, this resort was different!
The barriers, architecture, security, and many other things were too complex!
"Also, isn't this "Feng Shui"? Why the hell should a Lucifer learn Feng Shui?!"
Moreover, the "Feng Shui" made their trip even more horrible as all the invaders would gain bad luck the moment they entered.
Bikuo and Kuroko weren't sure how many times they almost died due to a strange accident.
Whether it was a thunder suddenly struck down, slipped due to slippery ground, or almost stabbed by a sharp stone!
This place was so scary!
Still, if they entered through a normal way and gained permission to enter, everything would be smooth, but as a criminal, could they do that?
Moreover, their purpose in entering this place wasn't good, so they needed to be quiet as they knew facing many high-level devils, angels, and even fallen angels definitely wasn't something they wished to do.
"Kuroka, should we give up?"
Bikuou wasn't sure, but he had never felt at ease after they entered this city. He felt like something was watching from the dark, and the moment they let their guard down, this something would attack them quietly. Then, when that happened, the two of them would die without anyone noticing and became fertilizers for all the plants within this place.
"Why are you acting like a chicken, nyaa~? Aren't you a monkey type of Youkai? Then, you should be shameless like your ancestor?!"
Kuroka scolded Bikou for being a coward.
"What do you mean by that?!"
However, Bikou also started to reflect on himself. The reason why he joined Vali on the Khaos Brigade was because he was bored with the life of the monkeys in China. As the descendant of Sun Wukong, his life was comfortable, and he got everything. The moment he was born, even if he just lay, slept, and ate, everything would be okay. On the mountain where his family lived, everything was provided.
Whether it was free and easy, everything was provided, whether it was freshwater or even delicious food. Even if he became a NEET and spent all of his time playing, everything would be okay.
Yet, Bikou was unsatisfied with such a life, and he wanted to follow his grandfather's life.
Before following Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong lived like a rascal. He stole, robbed, killed, and many other things. No one could stop him. No rules could bind him. He was the rule. In the end, he was caught by Buddha and trapped under a mountain; the way he lived previously had become Bikou's dream.
Bikou wanted to be like Sun Wukong!
So, if he had gotten scared here, then how could he do that?
He might as well return to the mountain and live there!
So, Kuroka's words woke him up.
After all, was Riser as strong as a Buddha?
"Okay, let's do it."
"That's good, nyaa~!" Kuroka nodded with a smile as she knew that she needed Bikou's help to take her little sister. Still, watching the high hotel tower in the distance, she wondered how she could approach that place as she knew this place wasn't easy to trespass.
"But Kuroka, we need to be careful. You should know how powerful Riser Lucifer is, right? Moreover, unlike the previous Lucifer, he is extremely aggressive. He might even kill us when he sees us."
"What? Are you getting scared again, nyaa? Do you want me to carry you back like a princess since you can't walk, nyaa?" Kuroka snickered.
"Shut the hell?! I am not scared?!" Bikou scolded Kuroka and then complained. "I mean, we need more help!"
"Do you want to bring Vali here, nyaa?" Kuroka frowned as she knew if Vali knew what they were doing, he would stop them no matter what. After all, unlike them, he had faced Riser directly, and he knew the horror of Riser.
However, Kuroka and Bikou were different. There was no "fear" in their dictionary, and if they were scared, then why should they become a terrorist? Moreover, with their talents and powers, there was no need for them to feel scared. Lastly, they had confidence!
This was the more important point, as they were different from Vali, whose spirit was broken.
No, it shouldn't be said that Vali's spirit was broken. Instead, he became more careful, especially when his stepfather passed away, leaving his mother to become a widow and his stepsiblings fatherless.
Yet, this was also the reason why Kuroka wanted to take Koneko away, as she knew how dangerous this world was. She didn't want to lose her only family, and that was why she had to bring Koneko back!
To be honest, Kuroka had tried to send a signal to Koneko so she would come by herself, but with all the barriers, security magics, and strange architecture, those signals were blocked, so she couldn't approach Koneko.
Bikou also understood Kuroka's worry, but at the same time, he wondered why Kuroka didn't kidnap Koneko when Koneko was in the Gremory domain or the Kuoh town, as those places were easier to invade instead of this place.
"No, I mean, why don't we..."
"What are you doing?"
A bespectacled young man with blond hair and a strand of hair across his face dressed in a business suit suddenly appeared before them.
"Arthur!" 2x
Bikou and Kuroka were startled.
"Don't startle us all of a sudden, nyaa?!"
"Yeah, do you want me to beat you up?!"
When Arthur Pendragon appeared, they were ready to fight, giving their all as they thought Arthur would be Riser or others, but fortunately, it was Arthur.
"...." Arthur fell in silence as he sighed. "Vali will be crazy when he knows that you are trying to invade the domain of the new Lucifer."
"Are you scared, nyaa?"
"Yeah, are you scared, Arthur?"
Bikou and Kuroka smiled.
Arthur sighed and asked, "What's your plan?"
"Use your sword to tear the space so we can enter, nyaa!"
"Yeah, as long as you can do it, then we should be able to enter this place."
Arthur said nothing and took out his sword, which he had stolen from his family.
Caliburn.
Arthur's main weapon. The ultimate Holy Sword and the Sword in the Stone.
Caliburn can generate an extremely massive amount of Holy aura that surpasses even that of Excalibur and Durandal and is capable of ripping through space. This sword can also teleport the user or others to any location and can open small spatial portals to teleport its blade to strike enemies unexpectedly from any direction.
By using that ability, there was no place that Arthur couldn't enter, so taking out Caliburn, he tore the space apart to make an entrance for all of them.
"Haha, I will enter first."
Bikou laughed, feeling excited, when he thought that he had trespassed in Lucifer's domain.
Kuroka and Arthur were speechless.
While Arthur was helpless, Kuroka urged Bikou to be in a hurry. "Then, come on, nyaa! Don't be slow!"
"Calm down, okay?"
Bikou sighed and was about to enter the torn space, but suddenly, a hand emerged from that torn space.
"Eh?" 2x
Kuroka and Arthur were dumbfounded.
Similarly, Bikou was also dumbfounded, but he couldn't react as this hand grasped his head firmly. Yet, in that moment, his entire body shivered due to fear as he knew the death was approaching.
"ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
