Chapter 140 - Chapter 140 Lily

Sera spent the entire time we were moving to City G talking to Synthia and I could already see a positive change in her mood. When we arrived at City G, another demon that looked similar to Ush'nar, except that he had green hair instead of black, was waiting at the gate for us. He didn't say anything to us and just glared at us while we were driving through the city making even me feel uncomfortable. As we drove through the city, I could see a bus similar to the one we were using, smashed into a building. It looked like someone threw the bus into the building, the bus was also scorched black and looked like it has exploded. I could also smell the scent of burnt corpses, which means people were most likely in the bus when it exploded.

'So that's why he was glaring at us? That Angel, Castiel, got into a fight with him and if I had to guess, people from his family were seriously injured.' I thought and Sera seems to be thinking the same as she sighed, as for the humans, it didn't matter what they think as long as they didn't do anything stupid. In the end, we managed to drive through the city without any problems, and we were back on the road.

Night soon came, but we didn't stop and continued our journey, not daring to make camp. The next morning, I was able to see the outline of the city from a distance away.

[I'm going ahead to scout the city.] I told Sera through [Telepathy] and activated my [Stealth] trait. I decided to bring the sword with me, inside the box of course, as I flew towards the city. I used [Aura Vision] to search the entire city, but I only found one red aura standing in the middle of the city. I flew towards it and what I saw stunned me, the middle of the city was in complete ruins with all the buildings destroyed and large craters in the ground. There was fire everywhere with most of the buildings looking like they were melted by the heat of the flames. All around the center of the city, corpses of imps were strewn everywhere, most of them looked like they were slashed in half while others looked like they stabbed. And the creature that was responsible stood in the center of the city splashed with blood and panting heavily.

But all of this wasn't shocking in and of itself, what was shocking was the appearance of the creature, the demon looked like a young teenage girl with red skin, silver hair, goat like horns, a tail with a heart shaped tip and bat like wings. The girl looked like she would reach my chest and she wore a black backless dress with a short skirt and long black stocking along with red heels. The girl looked over towards where I was hiding and I could see her glowing pink eyes.....along with a scaly silver whip that sent chills down my spine. She seemed both alluring and dangerous at the same time.

"I know someone is there, show yourself." She shouted in a cute voice, and my eyelids twitched at how contrasting her voice was to the scene infront of me.

"Fine then, let's do this the hard way." She said as she suddenly disappeared. Having experience with a similar ability, I already knew what to do, I used [Senses Manipulation] to heighten my sense of hearing and I could hear the sound of flapping wings approaching me and quickly jumped to the top of the building I was hiding behind. As soon as she arrived at the area, a deep indentation was left in the ground along with the sound of a whip cracking.

"Tsk, I guess no one was there." She said in an annoyed tone but then she frowned and looked towards me again.

'How does she keep sensing me?' I thought with a frown as she continued staring at me.

"Ok, whoever you are, why don't we settle this like two honourable demons....or are you a beast? It doesn't matter, just come out now." She said and I just looked at her, wondering why she thought that would work.

"Is no one really there? Am I going crazy?" She said after a few minutes while holding and shaking her head.

'This Demon is amusing, I wonder what kind of Demon she is?' I thought and decided to indulge her a bit.

"What's your name?" I asked while still having my [Stealth] trait active.

"Heh. Where is that voice coming from? Am I really loosing my mind? " She said and started looking around frantically searching for me.

"What's your name?" I repeated

"M-my name's Lily Eros, from the house of Lust." She replied nervously while still looking for me but I frowned. None of the demons that introduced themselves had their family's last name, not even Alice did and she was the first person to join my family. Maybe the house of Lust was different.

"What kind of Demon are you?" I asked and this time she looked surprised.

"Eh, I'm a High Daimoni, but shouldn't you know that already? Who are you anyway? Show yourself." She asked with a frown. After a few minutes of contemplation, I decided to show myself. The others were about to arrive soon anyway and I'm sure a tier 4 like her would sense them soon, so I should quickly get this over with before they arrive.

"My name is Colin Dunamis of the house of Weakness." I said in a deep and proud voice while standing on top of the building.
