Both Lucas and Azazel changed their cloth, the speed of their changing such formal and complicated cloth is worthy of praise.
They step down the stair, on the sofa Nava had been waiting for them.
Once he saw Lucas, he throw something to him and Lucas catch it with ease.
"Put it on!"
Nava ordered, Lucas look at the thing it his hand and you can imagine a thin black line in his face.
'Magic seal'
it was sealing device used for prisoner, it have the form of chain collar.
Lucas : "..."
He suspecting if there is author over there, he or she must be pervent with chain fetish.
Passing Author : "Tehee~"
Lucas put it with calm face. Nava make sure that it put properly and didn't make comment.
He isnt worried it come loose once it put, because the key is in his hand.
...
[ Teleportation ]
Nava, Azazel and Lucas arrived near demon Lord's castle. Now they are heading to the Demon Lord's Hall. The big gate with earie pattern opened. The hall is big enough to play soccerball but almost each side is already filled with Demons standing in line.
Nava walk in front while Lucas and Azazel walk side by side behind.
Lucas touch the cold collar he wear.
'Luckily it just a collar, not a complete package with hand and angkle chain."
In present of The Demon Lord, the Demons keep their manners, they didn't do dirty talk but still they can send a mocking glare to Lucas, that he ignored.
Lucas look straight at the person sitting on the majestic throne, a teenager with combined of black and blazing red hair, wearing full body armor, looking at him with amused look.
Now they are close enough to the throne.
Nava and Azazel knelt,
"Your loyal vassal, Nava Khutsomier greet His Majesty the Demon Lord."
"Your loyal vassal, Azazel Khutsomier greet His Majesty the Demon Lord."
There are silence in the air until both of them realize there is other person beside them.
The other Demons become enraged once they Saw a human standing still over there facing their king when even one of the devas kneeling.
[ What are you doing? hurry! kneel beside me! ]
Azazel send telepaty message to Lucas. On the other hand, Lucas mind was in state of chaos, countless pass memory hit him and slowly his main personality shifted.
His carefree posture become refined while he walk toward the throne, with his deep eyes.
Some of the guard tried to stop him but the king himself dismiss them, until both of them only five meter apart.
the silence Hung on the air, other could only exchange glance between them. Until Lucas open his mouth facing Demon Lord's deadly glare.
"Long time no see, Asher."
In instant, Lucas said demon Lord's name, the whole hall in uproar, it was open secret that demon lord didn't like being called by his name because it's meaning.
His Majesty the demon lord also look displeased over the throne. The other wondered if there Will be bloodbath.
But they are wrong, his Majesty demon lord erese his displeased look, then look at the human with sneer.
"Ha! yea... long time no see. I almost didn't recognize you as how pathetic you look right now, Hero... no, Ex-Hero Reinheart. Hahahaha!"
....
Once a year or in special occasion, Lucas would remember his past lives. Most of his past lives he wouldn't remember his other lives. But there is one he remember both lives, and it also when he was Reincarnated in this same world.
He born as orphan, ahh... a female orphan. She live there and she love people and the kid who grow up with her, in that place even thou it was just a far away town in the border. She refused to be adobted, because she like being there and she cant image happiness without them. So she work hard to take care the orhan and kids, and everyone also acceped her as older sister. She teach them, working on chores with them and sometimes sell herb she found from mountain.
Live had been peacefull, simple but fullfilling. She also know some healing magic to earn additional money in clinic. The chaotic world outside have nothing to do with them, until...
Their town is attacked by demon.
It was just usual day,
She was 24 year old, in the orphan there is only the director, his wife and she as adult.
Since both of director and his wife is already old, she take care most of the thing. In the orphan itself there is only four kids left.
"Then I Will be off!"
"Yeah! Take care!"
"Be carefull and return before sunset!"
"I Will try!"
Today she walk out to the mountain looking for herb, she enjoy his time being alone with nature. from morning to afternoon, it was long walk to the mountain, finally she return to the town before sunset but she feel something wrong as black smoke engulfull the city.
She put aside the herb she just collected to the nearby bush, she run as fast as she can to the orphan, ignoring the cut in her feet.
Burned tree, destroyed house and loitering corpse.
The medium house where the kids and she live is smashed to the ground, she remember this morning the director and his wife preparing breakfast and testing in the terrace, there is no one...
in place of no one she could see pool of blood in the ground, trembled, she is afraid imaging what buried under the house.
She took step beck, keep running to the direction of the park.
'Albab! Rene! Adi! Desian!'
The image of four kid playing in the park consuming her mind as she keep chanting their name.
Sadly it won't change anything. The park that should be in lush green from the spring is burned. There is no one...
Tear steamed out from her eyes,
This city look like being crushed from above, in some part she could see burned corpse, she walk and walk... searching for something, until she find few charred corpse with familiar burned clothing.
"Aa... AAAAAAAHHHH!"
She screamed, dashing like mad hugging those corpse while channeling her vain healing power.
"Hoo~ There is someone still alive."
