Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: The Unbridled Harpy

In the tropical forests, the river flows through and the sun gleams through the trees. The Harpies flap their wing-like arms to fly through the air. Harpies with all different colour wings fly through the air and they live in tree houses built high into the forest. Some were by the river washing themselves when they heard a rumbling sound.

"What is that?"

"It must be a dragon!"

"F-Fl7 way!"

They rushed away as fast as they could when they saw Lucifer's ship descend in the forest on the other side of the river. The ship engine stopped, Lucifer and the others walked out of the back then to the river bank.

"The Harpies live in those tall trees Master," Blossom explained as she pointed at the forest.

After they crossed the river they walked into the forest of tall trees. They observed their surroundings and noticed that the forest was silent.

"This place is quiet… too quiet…" Rosario said.

"The Harpies used to be an open and friendly species but due to the humans attacks and hunting of Harpies they've become shy and timid to outsiders," Eve explained.

Lucifer looked up at the houses on the tree and could see all the Harpies locked up in their house. He stepped forward with the box of eggs in his hand and placed it on the ground. "Let's go," he uttered and walked away.

"Are we leaving so soon?" Mero wondered.

"We agreed to bring back the eggs so as not to sit and have tea."

"But there seems to be something wrong and we have to help," Rosario said.

While Lucifer was with the others, someone in the village was watching him from atop the tree. Lucifer turned around as something flew down, grabbed him and took him away.

"What was that?!"

"An Harpy!"

"We have to stop it!"

They rushed off after the harpy who kidnapped Lucifer. He found himself being carried through the air by a harpy with blue wings.

"Let me go,"He said in a calm voice but the harpy didn't answer him.

Lucifer manoeuvred himself out of clutches and landed on her back. Using 「Black Thread Weaver」he tied up her body

"What the hell—AAAAAAH!"

She fell from the sky and into the trees below. Lucifer took out his glider board and flew down to where the harpy had fallen. She was trapped inside Lucifer's threads and hanging upside down from a tree branch.

"Let me go! Let me go so I can beat your ass human!" she shouted in anger.

'This harpy is more short tempered than fenrir,' Lucifer thought to himself.

He walked over to Harpy who looked at him with a face full of anger. "Talk."

"I don't have anything so say you thieving human scum!"

She spat at Lucifer's face and he dodged it with relative ease.

"Very well if you won't talk…"

Lucifer set up a fire, placed a pot of water on top of it and after the water started boiling he lower the harpy into the water.

"You think that will scare me, think again!" she shouted with a huff.

Lucifer doesn't listen, he continues to lower her into the water and suddenly her butt touches the hot water.

She screamed out in pain and tried to cool her butt using her breath. "Okay, I'll talk, just don't cook me you carnivorous bastard!" she shouted again.

Lucifer dropped her beside the pot and released her from his threads. She stood to her feet and Lucifer got a good look at the harpy standing before him. She was a small girl around 14 years old with a small body that had blue feathers on her head inside of hair, large blue wings with a small blue thumb instead of arms, Red eyes, black bird legs and she had three large tail feathers. Her petite little body was adorn in a bra and panties made of feathers woven together.

"You may have set me free but I will never surrender to you human," she said with a huff.

Lucifer didn't respond to her but instead casually walked away. The harpy was a bit confused by his attitude but then he stopped and spoke to her without looking around.

"Let's go!" he said.

"You don't order me around, I'm not going with you!"

"Suit yourself!"

Lucifer kept walking away without saying a word until the harpy decided to follow him.

"You're different from the humans that we've encountered, who are you?"

The harpy was intrigued but Lucifer didn't give any response.

"Hey I'm talking to you, at least say something!" she shouted but Lucifer still didn't give her a respond.

'What's with this human, is he deaf or something?' she asked herself.

Suddenly out of nowhere a voice came down from the sky.

"Die you bitch!""

Fenrir came down from the sky fist first at the harpy who quickly leaps away. The impact of Fenrir's fist caused a powerful shockwave that uprooted trees and blew away the forest like a hurricane. The dust cleared away Lucifer was standing there and Fenrir jumped in his way to protect him.

"Lucifer, are you alright?" Fenrir asked concernedly

"You're going to pay for that!"

The harpy swooped down with her talon and clawed at Fenrir who only grabbed her by her nape.

"Who is this little chicken?" Fenrir asked in confusion.

"Who are you calling a chicken flea brain?"

"Who are you calling a flea brain?"

"For a werewolf you're hard of hearing!"

"That's it, I'm going to teach you a lesson you damn chicken!"

"Bring it on grandma!"

The two started catfighting in front of Lucifer. He just stood there watching the two pull each other's hair and scratch each other with claws and talons. Without a word he walked without saying anything.

"Hey Lucifer, aren't you going to help me?!" Fenrir asked.

"Not my business!"

"What kind of Husband are you if you're not going to help your wife ? Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Fenrir kept shouting but Lucifer kept walking.

'If there's one thing I know is that a man should never get in a fight between two women,' Lucifer thought to himself.
