Chapter 23 - King Lucifer...

The devil then tried to find its way out of the darkness but all its fine is just nothingness

Just as it tried to find it way out of the darkness just out of sudden the devil felt something hitting on its back dealing a big damage

The devil screams in pain due to being hit by the attack but it can't figure out what it is

The devil then gets up and tried to fly away from the darkness but just when it was about to leap to the sky, the devil suddenly felt something is grabbing on its leg making it hard to move

Just as the devil is struggling to get its leg off the thing that is grabbing it, suddenly another hit was send toward the devil making it to fall unto its knees

The devil starts to became terrified a bit that its movement start to become random

Panic, the devil didn't have a choice but to cuts its own legs to escape the chain grabbing it but doing so only just putting more damage toward the devil

After cutting its own legs, the devil slowly flaps its wings and fly to the sky running away from the darkness but to its surprises the farther its fly the end still isn't on sight

Its like the devil have just been wrapped into the darkness and there is no way out of it

Just as the devil is trying to fly away from the darkness out of sudden, the devil wings got cuts into half making the devil to falls onto the ground

The devil starts to became terrified of the endless darkness that it is trying its best crawling on the ground using its hand to try and find a way out

But suddenly as the devil start to crawl on the ground, it felt a very unpleasant aura that seems familiar to the devil which is making the whole body of the devil to start tremble

The devil starts to look around trying to find the source of the aura that is making it feeling uneasy but due to the darkness it can't see the source of it

Just as the devil is trying to it best to survive the darkness, out of sudden the source of the unpleasing aura starts to became more stronger

Feeling the heavy aura starting to surround it, the devil coughed up blood out of its mouth due to the pressure its feeling

The devil starts to feel like its being tortured over and over by the darkness but it can't do anything to fight it

It can't even move a single muscle right now due to the heavy pressure that is holding it down

Out of sudden the devil accidentally had a glimpse of Arashi coming toward its with his sword on the side

But as the devil tried to look around the glimpse of Arashi disappear into the darkness making it like he was never there in the first place

The devil started to became terrified more after experiencing this kind of thing for the first time

Due to being superior, the devil never afraid of anybody else except for its master but other than that the devil finds them as just a small prey

But today…

For the first time in its life, the devil realized

That it wasn't superior at all…

Seeing from the side of the wall, the man wearing the robe is mesmerized over the view he is looking at

Which in his point of view the devil are just standing still with all his limb intact staring at the sword but the man knew that the devil mind has been entrapped in some sort of hallucination

"Incredible…"

"There's no doubting it…"

"That sword has a demon trait…" The man starts to grin weirdly that it almost gave a creep feels

Just as the man thought that the view he's looking at is amazing, the next thing that happened almost makes his mind went crazy as the sword suddenly rise from the ground like it have its own soul and start attacking the devil cutting every parts of it into pieces

After finishing cutting the devil down the sword slowly flew over toward Arashi, and out of sudden Arashi rise up from the ground as if the injury he gets from before isn't hurting him at all

But there is something different with Arashi as he doesn't seem to look conscious as his eye look lifeless

The lifeless Arashi then grabs on his sword and out of sudden the air inside the cave turned heavy making it hard to breathe

A weird aura starts coming out of Arashi making the other devils there starts to run away terrified except for the man wearing the robe

Surprisingly after having a grip on the sword, Arashi lifeless eye suddenly glow in red and his head starts to grow one horn

"Hmm…" Said the soulless Arashi as he inspects his body

Just then he let out a little bit chuckle while holding his mouth

"It's been a while since I last have a body…"

"Its feels refreshing." said the demon Arashi

It seems like the Arashi we know is still unconscious and now the person who had control over his body is the sword

Demon Arashi then starts to move his body a little as he seems thrive over having a body for a long time, after he finish doing all the movement his head suddenly turned toward the darkness

"You…"

"Stop hiding… or I'll take you down…" said demon Arashi looking straight into the man eye

The man suddenly had a shiver down his spine when demon Arashi have an eye contact with him

(This is bad…)

(I can't stop shivering…) Thought the man

He suddenly grins again looking like a creep

(This is going to be interesting…)

The man then came out from the shadow an confront demon Arashi, the moment he got close he start kneeling down on his knees making demon Arashi to felt weird

"Oh! my lord!"

"Lord?"

"How have I've waited for your arrival into this heinous human world…" said the man spouting out nonsense

Demon Arashi could just tilt his head in confusion toward the man weird action

The man suddenly bowed his head a few times while apologizing toward Demon Arashi

"I'm sorry for being rude and not stating my name first, my lord!" Said the man

He then took a step back and lowered his body in respect over demon Arashi

"My name Matthew…"

"And I'm here to serve you my lord…"

The man who is apparently being called as Matthew looks up over demon Arashi with joy over his face expecting demon Arashi to be delighted over his attitude

But instead of being delighted, Demon Arashi looks disgusted over Matthew attitude that he almost spit on his face

Matthew started to look embarrassed and became awkward over his own action

Demon Arashi just let out a sigh over the situation he just had seen

"So, are you saying that you want to serve me?" Ask demon Arashi out of sudden

Matthew quickly nodded his head in excitement when he was asked that question by demon Arashi

"Yes!"

"I have been waiting for millennial year over your resurrection my lord!" Add Matthew

Demon Arashi looks a bit delighted when he heard that word from Matthew

"I see…"

"So that would mean you have already known who I am? Right?" Ask Demon Arashi

Matthew smiled over demon Arashi question as he seems to be delighted over the question

"Of course, I've known of your name, my lord…"

"The strongest demon from the first Era…"

"Killing over infinite Gatekeeper no matter how strong or many they are…"

"Have obtained the name of the Gatekeeper Slayer and the King of all demons…"

"You are…"

"King Lucifer…" said Matthew as he told the story of Arashi demon sword

Demon Arashi or should we call him as Lucifer had a grin on his face delighted over Matthew telling on his story

"I see that you have study your history…"

"But I'm not a king anymore…"

"I'm just a sword…" said Lucifer as he looks over his sword form

Matthew just looks over toward Lucifer with a disagree look on his face

"That isn't true my lord!"

"Even after you've been curses into being the tool for this foolish Gatekeeper but you are still our rightful king!" Shout Matthew as he idolized over Lucifer

But Lucifer doesn't seem delighted hearing all of that as he is looking straight at Matthew with anger in his eyes

"D-did I said something wrong M-my lord?" Ask Matthew quickly lowering its body

Lucifer just look over Matthew who are down to his knees over the scared feeling that he had just displeased Lucifer

"It's nothing…" Said Lucifer

He then walks away inside the cave

Seeing Lucifer walks away, Matthew quickly straightened up his body and follows him from behind
