Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 : On The Attack (Part 1)

Bloods dripped from Rosario's head. "We need to talk," She said to Lucifer.

"You and I have nothing to talk about, human," He replied in an uninterested tone of voice

"You placed a curse on me, now everyone is seeing me as a demon. Remove the spell this instant."

Rosario pointed Excalibur at Lucifer but he didn't feel intimidated in the least.

"That wasn't a curse, it's an illusion magic I cast directly on Excalibur. Everytime you hold that sword you look like a demon in front of everyone's eyes."

"Why would you do such a thing, answer me?!"

"To teach you a lesson."

"What?"

"You don't have any clue about the things you're doing. You're going around killing monsters not realising that you humans are the real monsters. Tell me how it feels to be attacked by your own people?"

"I'm a paladin, I live only to serve the people, even if they attack me I would never hurt them "

"Tch, I see, Thank you, I finally remembered why I despise humans," Lucifer said coldly as he looked away with his eyes closed.

"Why do you hate humans?"

"I'm not going to tell you anything—hm?"

Lucifer and Rosario suddenly sensed something and looked up. There were two people floating in the air in front of them. One is a tan-skinned woman with pink hair, pink eyes, pink lips and a voluptuous body, she wore a red split end dress slowing her back, legs and cleavage and in her hand was a smoking pipe. The other is a fat man with a cannon on his shoulder.

"Did we interrupted something, Fufufufuf?" The woman asked, then she chuckled seductively.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Rosario ordered.

"Calm down honey, we aren't here for you and your sword... We are here for him."

The woman turned her gaze to lucifer. He just stood there with his eyes closed, he noticed that the woman and the man were emanating an aura comparable to Pressila.

"Make it easier on yourself and come with us sweetie."

"No happening," Lucifer said, then suddenly his twin pistol magically appeared in his hand from a cloud of darkness.

"You have no choice in the matter."

The woman breathed out a pink smoke from her mouth that engulfed Lucifer and Rosario. She covered her mouth with her cape as she tried not to breathe in the pink smoke. The woman and the fat man descended on the ship

"It's so useful, once engulfed in my aphrodisiac, you'll never escape—Hm— What the?" The woman was surprised when she saw Lucifer walking out of the smoke unscathed. "Impossible, how did you get away from my smoke?"

Lucifer didn't respond and suddenly the fat man fired a cannonball at him. Lucifer dodged it with relative ease and it splashed in the water behind him.

"I missed it! No matter what, I won't miss next time."

"Will you?"

Lucifer's curse mark appeared as he pointed his gun at the man.

"Just try it."

He suddenly vanished and reappear under the man feet then kicked his feet away. The man fell over on Lucifer's pistol and Lucifer pulled the trigger blowing the man high into the air. Lucifer started to pull the trigger repeatedly blowing large holes all over the man's body until he explodes like firework.

The woman shuddered when Lucifer turned his eyes to her.

"Well you're more powerful than I imagined. I'll retreat for now," she spoke. Then she turned into purple butterflies and left.

"I can't hold on anymore."

Lucifer looked at his feet as Rosario was crawling towards him with hearts in her eyes. Her body was sweating and her face was flushed read.

"Tch, what a troublesome Paladin you are."

Lucifer switched cartridges and fired rubber bullets at Rosario.

She cried out in pain as she rolled around, then she looked around and noticed that the two attackers left "Where did they go?" She asked.

"No clue."

"I can't believe that I was subjected to such humiliation W-what did you see?" Rosario asked while flustered.

Lucifer didn't even pay attention to her but casually walked away. Rosario then got up and decided to follow Lucifer, he then stopped walking .

"Why are you following me?" He asked without turning around to her.

"I'm following you. Whoever those people are, they are after you, I want to know why they are after you.'

"No idea."

"My guess it's the power of darkness. I'm willing to lend my assistance in stopping those people if you're willing to turn yourself in to the church," Rosario offered.

Lucifer didn't reply to her but kept on walking.

'This boy is impossible to read, I can't tell what he's thinking'

She thought to herself.

"Stop following me and go back to your kingdom."

"I can't."

Lucifer then snapped his finger and Excalibur release a small light. "I release the illusion I placed on the sword. Go back to your Kingdom and stop bothering us" He said then went into the ship and closed the door ignoring Rosario calling his name.

In the meantime.

The woman returned to her master. She walked up to him and kneel before his throne with a nervous expression on her face.

"Master I have failed you," She said.

"You failed to capture the boy, you're useless aren't you Helma," A woman standing beside the master spoke in a harried tone of voice.

"The boy is more powerful than we imagined, He was able to defeat Merok but me as well. My lord please give me one more chance to redeem myself," Helma pleaded.

"There is no use for begging, you've served your purpose already. The reason I sent you out there was to probe the boys strength and now that you've fulfilled that purpose I have no sexual for you anymore, throw her in the cell," The Master ordered.

Two green demons dragged her away.

"Please my lord just give me on more chance I beg you, don't throw me away. My lord My loooord!" The woman cried out as they continue to drag her away.

"Who will handle the boy next?" The Master asked.

"I will."

A man stepped forward dressed like a boxer with red gloves, black shorts and shoes. He looked like a human with a red tattoo on his forehead

"I'll go as well."

A woman with a ghostly appearance came forward, she had black hair touching the ground, pale skin and her face had no flesh or eyes. She was dressed in a black rag and walked barefoot.

"Are you sure you want to go Spooky, you might scare the poor boy to death?" the boxer teased.

"Then Spooky and Bruce go, capture the boy and bring him to me."

"Yes my lord."

"Leave it to us."
