The group advanced in silence along the desolate paths of the Underworld, their footsteps softly resonating against the rocky ground. The atmosphere was charged with dark energy, heavy but not oppressive, as a strange aura seemed to envelop them. Lilin led the march, walking with a confident stride but saying nothing. Behind her, Yassmin walked beside Ethan, casting furtive glances toward the demon guiding them. Finally, she broke the silence.
"Ethan... who exactly is this demon?" Yassmin asked, subtly nodding toward Lilin.
Ethan frowned, considering his response.
"I don't know much about her. I met her in a complicated situation," he said calmly, keeping his gaze ahead. "She attacked me, but she was deceived by another demon. After that, at Lucifer's request, I decided to spare her life."
Yassmin raised an eyebrow, her expression showing she wasn't entirely satisfied with the answer.
