Chereads / The Soul of Lucifer / Chapter 28 - Goddess and Demon

Chapter 28 - Goddess and Demon

"Huh?!"

"Hello there!", the young goddess waved at Sun with a bright face.

In the mortal world, she wore the Magic Schools Uniform. Her long hair braided in a beautiful pattern.

"Why are you in MY room?", Sun was confused.

"Why can't I be? You are mine, so all your possessions are also mine, right?", she answered shamelessly.

"I can't believe you ... You know what privacy is and why can you come to the mortal world. I thought you are in the god realm."

"Nah, I'm now permanently linked to you. Too bad, you can't escape me~", she said and showed her tongue.

*Swoosh*

"Oi, what are you doing here with a goddess?"

Lucifer materialized out of the shadows and looked at the goddess with disdain. He had no good memories about gods and celestial being after all.

"Hmm. Are you his Soul Origin?", Sylvaresta turned to Lucifer and observed him.

"Wait - aren't you the banished one?", she said with a surprised voice.

"Yeah, so what?"

"Hmm. Nothing much - just getting along with my neighbor.", she answered.

"Nei-Neighbor?", Lucifer almost vomited.

"What do you mean? What's the meaning of this Sun?", Lucifer turned to Sun with helpless eyes.

"It means you need to share my body with her from now on.", Sun said and sighted.

He looked at the hovering goddess and did not know what to expect anymore.

"Wait, I obviously can't deal with her!", Lucifer complained.

He had his peaceful days inside Sun's Soul, playing PUBG and other games created with his magic.

Now, a goddess appeared out of nowhere - destroying his peace.

"Sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it. I'm apparently already tied to her before I was born, or something like that. You can ask her.", Sun said.

"Hm, well I suppose I can't always stay like this.", Lucifer reflected his actions.

Back then, he was feared by the gods and was sealed away because of his powers - now, after a thousand years - he turned into some hardcore gamer.

"Hehe. I suppose my playtime is over. Gotta act more mature, otherwise, Sun won't respect me!", Lucifer thought.

"Ahem! Well. I suppose, if you WANT her to stay, then I can't say anything against it. You are my master after all.", Lucifer said and made a smug face.

"He's tsundere.", the goddess and Sun thought simultaneously.

"Ahehe.", Lucifer laughed.

*Beep*

A strange sound, almost like shooting sounded.

Sun did not know what it was and looked around.

"Well then, guys. I need to excuse myself.", Lucifer said and quickly disappeared.

"He's playing games inside you. Doesn't that bother you?", Sylvaresta asked Sun.

"He's what?!", now - Sun knew what the sound was.

Instead of getting angry, he asked:

"Uhm, Slyvaresta...?"

"Yes?"

"Can I give you a nickname? I don't always spell out 'Sylvaresta' - it's a bit too long."

"Hmm. My name is holy, but I suppose so. What do you want to call me?"

"Let's see..."

"How about Sylvie?"

Hearing that name, the goddess had a flashback the angle of her mouth rose of some degrees.

Her laughing eyes showed a sign of sadness just for a split second.

"Is it okay?"

"Oh, yeah sure.", she showed her usual face again.

"Sylvie, huh.", she thought.

That was also the nickname Eric gave her back then. Thought that was like 300 years ago.

...

"Well, now - what did I gain from the contract?", Sun asked.

He did check his Soul Origin Status, but there was nothing new.

"Oh, about that..."

"You know, your element is the Goddess Tear, right?"

"Yes, I'm aware of that."

"Well, you can basically use any element you can think of. Even combines ones - for example, Ice Element or Shadow element, by combining Dark element with the wind element." (There will be another Auxillary Chapter soon)

"I see.", Sun said.

He was not that surprised since he expected something like this. The term already made the element sound badass enough.

"Are there other advantages?"

"Yes. I will activate the Celestial Cardinal for you."

"What's that?"

"It's like your Soul Origin. If you use it, you can actually put my power to use.", she explained.

...

"Now, try to activate your Soul Origin System."

"Activate.

Would you like to use Lucifer or Sylvaresta?"

"I need to choose?", Sun was a little bit disappointed since he can't use both simultaneously.

"Yes, otherwise you would outscore the ruling system of this world.", the goddess smiled wryly.

"This guy wants power, I see.", she thought.

"Celestial Cardinal: active.

Contract: Sylvaresta First-Grade Goddess

Abilities: passive - Goddess Tear, active - String of Fate."

Sun activated the new system and looked through the information.

He felt a bit different from using the Soul Origin System - much cleaner and purified.

"Feeling better already?", Sylvie grinned.

"Yes! How come?"

"It's because you and I share a bond, so you use part of my energy, which is the purest energy source you can have!", she explained.

"Ah."

"Better feel grateful.", she pouted.

"Haha. Sure I am. Lucky to have you."

Sun tried to call for Lucifer since he did not know what will happen when he's using the other system.

"Oi, are you there?"

*Tap* *Tap*

"Little Pig! How dare you?! Your daddy will destroy you now. You can beg for your life!

I will find you and then - I will kill you!!!", Lucifer screamed in front of his PC.

Sun just stood in the red water and observed him playing a game with the PC in the middle of a sealed dimension.

The scene was just too bizarre.

...

"I guess - he's fine.", Sun said and started at Lucifer hopelessly.

"I should not have taught him that.", he thought and regretted his ignorant former self.

...

"Well then. You should leave too since my mates can come back anytime soon."

"Very well. Then I shall excuse myself for today. It's getting late, so sleep early. We need to get you an upgrade tomorrow."

"What upgrade?", Sun asked and was wondering about what Sylvie is talking.

She just rolled her eyes as if it was obvious, then disappeared after a light glow.

"What upgrade?", Sun said out loud and thought about the meaning of it.

"Upgrade? Were you talking about your weapon?", Edward came in.

"Weapon?", Sun was irritated.
