One True God

Chapter 114: Raya

When the two demons, Rouge and Oumu, talked to each other and came to a conclusion about what they would do, they quickly moved on from where they were.

Although the air between them quickly got hostile when they confronted each other, that didn't last long since they...were friends, to begin with.

They were able to understand each other to a certain degree without even talking to each other, and Rouge definitely understood Oumu.

He knew that Oumu wanted to see Lucifer for himself, and this is because...Oumu has allowed his curiosity to take control of his decisions.

Any normal and loyal demon to the Warmester Denoble House would definitely be in outrage right now after knowing that the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House has been killed and now someone else is using his word to become the Temporary Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

However, Oumu did not do anything like that at all.

That was why Rouge was able to understand that...once Oumu sees Lucifer for himself, he would then decide if he would betray the Warmester Denoble House and join Lucifer's cause or if he would fight to the death in order to get revenge for the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

Right, this is Oumu's way to decide if he would be betraying the Warmester Denoble House just like how Rouge did or not.

Of course, this is a great opportunity for Rouge since this would mean that a capable man such as Oumu would be recruited without even a drop of blood.

Surely, Lucifer would be happy with a piece of great news such as this one, but that was not even the most important point.

Since Oumu is the one who could be considered to be the leader among the many leader departments in the Warmester Denoble House, Rouge's position would become more secured and safer than ever before.

In other words, Oumu betraying the Warmester Denoble House and joining Lucifer's cause would be such a huge boon to their plan that the Warmester Denoble House might just be...stable as it was when the Patriarch was still the one controlling it.

Right, that was how big the impact would be if Oumu betrayed the Warmester Denoble House.

Nevertheless, this is still not the truth right now. This is because Oumu was still deciding if he should betray the Warmester Denoble House or not.

It seems that Oumu's loyalty to the Warmester Denoble House was not really that great as his curiosity took advantage of him, which led to this situation.

Well, Oumu cannot be blamed for that one. Oumu has always been like this for the longest time now.

Even when he fights someone, when he gets curious about something, he leaves the fight and tries to satisfy his curiosity.

That was how knowledge-hungry Oumu was. Leaving in the middle of a battle, that's got to say something about Oumu's personality and quirks.

And the fact that he is still the leader of the War Department of the Warmester Denoble House despite having such a troublesome personality means that he is just that strong that the top brass or even the Patriarch can just forgive those actions of Oumu.

And now, to satisfy his curiosity about who killed the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, arguably one of the strongest demons in the Zacharath Kingdom and to find out why Rouge, who was so loyal to the Warmester Denoble House, defected so suddenly, Oumu...stands before Lucifer.

And Oumu's first thought as he laid eyes on Lucifer was...

'W-what the hell is that...'

...pure astonishment. He couldn't believe what he saw. He couldn't believe that someone like this would actually exist.

Why? It was because...Lucifer's presence alone demands Oumu to give him respect.

The pressure and the terrifying aura that surrounded Lucifer was forcing Oumu's knees to kneel by themselves!

What's more, Lucifer has not even acknowledged Oumu's presence. He has not looked at him, and he has not conversed with him or Rouge.

Well, this is because Rouge has not spoken yet to announce their arrival here.

And that is only to be expected. After coming in here and personally seeing Lucifer, Rouge no longer has the balls to disrupt him.

This is because...Lucifer was just shrouded in this dark fog which looks like it would attack anyone who would dare come near Lucifer.

Rouge then tried different ways to announce their arrival, such as making footstep noise since he knew that Lucifer's senses would be keen and he would definitely be able to hear that noise, but...it led to nothing.

Lucifer's eyes were still closed, and it seems that he has not even noticed Rouge and Oumu at all.

It was truly surprising that Lucifer would have his guard down to this extent.

Of course, since the two demons were here and could see what was happening, they knew that Lucifer was totally focused on something else that they could not understand.

But that didn't mean that Lucifer was totally defenseless. In fact, he looked all the more threatening because of all this terrifying aura and all that stuff around him.

However, because of this, Rouge didn't know what to do.

And it seems that Oumu was able to catch onto that as he spoke, "What's wrong? Why are you acting so edgy?"

"You can just say that you've come with a guest, no?"

Oumu said those words as if it was that simple. Of course, the situation is never that simple.

It is only because Oumu has not witnessed Lucifer's wrath that he can say something like that.

For Rouge, it was not so simple.

However, before even Rouge can explain why he couldn't just say something like that to Lucifer, who's like this, there was someone who popped out of nowhere.

No, to be exact, this person popped out...right behind Lucifer.

Since Lucifer was just sitting on the floor in a meditation position and due to the dark fog around him, it was hard to see what was behind him.

It was only when this person stepped out of that dark fog that...she was noticed by the two demons, Rouge and Oumu.

"Raya Pazier." Rouge said her name out loud as soon as he noticed her come out of the dark fog with a frown look on his face.

Well, this is because it was unexpected that Raya Pazier would suddenly come out just like that.

However, Raya Pazier didn't pay attention to any of that bullshit at all as she just spoke.

"What are you doing here? Who's that demon with you? I thought Lucis already told you to back off for a while and concentrate on stabilizing your position first?"

Raya Pazier said those words with a scornful voice, it was as if she was rebuking Rouge for coming here.

Well, it was only natural. It was because she knew what Lucifer was doing, and Lucifer couldn't afford to be disturbed right now.

Rouge coming here out of nowhere risks that, and this is the reason why Raya Pazier came out as well; to prevent something like that from happening.

"Well...Lucis did tell me that, but the situation got solved faster than I expected because of this guy helping me. He's someone who can be of use to us, I can assure you that." Rouge explained swiftly.

As soon as Raya Pazier heard those words, she replied, "Hmm...I didn't think that the turmoil would be stabilized that fast. Well, I couldn't care less about the Warmester Denoble House."

"But still, you are not allowed here. Come back another day or so, and I'm sure he would wake up by then."

Raya Pazier said those words without minding care for the world.

However, her words put Rouge in a tough spot. This is because Oumu's betrayal has not been confirmed.

The only reason why Oumu went and suggested that he wanted to meet Lucifer is because he knew that there is no way of escaping him due to the dangerous aura.

That is also one of the main reasons why Oumu let his curiosity take advantage of him.

In other words, Oumu was trying to change this situation for his good.

However, if Oumu were to be able to get out of here, then it's almost guaranteed that he would just tell the people outside about the truth and kill Rouge and invade this place and kill Lucifer for the sake of revenge.

Rouge knew that very well, but...it seems that he no longer has the time to think about it as Oumu spoke.

"Mhm. Mhm. I was wondering where I heard the name Raya Pazier before, but you are the woman that the Young Master has taken a liking to, right?"

"However, considering that you are here...and the Young Master is taking a 'vacation' then...I see. I see. So that's how it is."

"You sided with that man to take revenge against the Warmester Denoble House, huh."

"The Raya Pazier who was so stubborn actually asked for help."

Oumu said those words as he looked at Raya Pazier with a thin smile on his face.

And it seems that Raya Pazier didn't like those words as she replied with a scoff, "And? What about it?"
