One True God

Chapter 89: Incomprehensible

When Lucifer looked at the Patriarch for a millisecond, the Demon Eyes quickly did its work and killed the Patriarch.

And when Lucifer was sure that the Patriarch was now dead, he closed his eyes and undid the Demon Eyes.

After all, he was basically forcing himself to use it. It would be in his best options to stop using it as soon as he was done.

And as soon as Lucifer closed the Demon Eyes, he...felt pain greater than before in his eyes.

No, it was not only his eyes but he could feel his brain getting stabbed with a million sharp needles at the same time.

Of course, that was not really happening, but the pain was equivalent to that.

However, that was not all as Lucifer could even feel his body...get a little bit thinner due to his body deteriorating over time when he forced himself to use the Demon Eyes.

Since Lucifer only used the Demon Eyes for a second, it wasn't really that bad, but one would be able to tell that Lucifer certainly got thinner now compared to before.

This was all the aftereffects and backlash that Lucifer received from forcing himself to use the Demon Eyes, but...Lucifer considered himself to be lucky if this was it.

After all, as long as Lucifer isn't crippled or anything of the sort, he is confident that he would be able to get back to his prime strength.

However...Lucifer was forgetting something. And that was...the injuries and damages that he sustained when the Hell Gates and the Great Seals were attacking him.

When Lucifer tried to see if he could now move, a sudden gush of blood flowed out of his stomach, stopping him.

His blood dropped to the ground like a strong wave from the ocean and forced Lucifer to look down.

When Lucifer saw his stomach, there was suddenly some kind of wound there that opened his guts.

Of course, that was not all as he was bleeding all over his body that Lucifer didn't even look like a demon anymore.

He looked like a blood monster who didn't have any shape or whatever.

"Hmm...I got done in bad. I never expected that such an ant would be able to injure me this bad." Lucifer murmured as he thought back to the Patriarch, who was lying dead on the ground.

"The 6 pillars were easily killed by the Red Flames so I let my guard down, but still...that was really the worst timing for my body to act up."

Right, it was the worst timing ever for Lucifer.

Incidentally, the Red Flames that Lucifer used to kill the 6 pillars were actually a soul attack.

The Red Flames directly burned the souls of the 6 pillars, which is why they just died so suddenly.

As the 6 pillars were weak, when compared to Lucifer's strength, their souls were weak as well so the Red Flames were an easy way to kill them.

That was what Lucifer calculated when he listened to the rabble that was going on earlier.

"Anyway, how will I fix my body up...although it's painful, I can still survive it," Lucifer murmured as he slowly tried to move his body.

He didn't want his wounds to open up so suddenly just like the wound on his stomach did when he moved earlier.

However, it seems that it was really asking too much from his body to force himself to move in the condition that he was in.

After all, it was even a miracle that Lucifer was still alive with all the injuries that he has and the pain that he's in.

It is no doubt that just the pain that Lucifer was feeling was enough to make a person's brain just collapse and as a result of that, die.

And that was why it was all the more reason that Lucifer didn't know how he would fix his body up, even more so if his wounds would worsen if he moves.

This situation was...much worse than when he was fighting against the Patriarch.

No, it wasn't even a fight as Lucifer just straight-up killed the Patriarch.

"Hmm...I don't think my body would be able to hold out if I force myself to use another one of my powers..." Lucifer murmured.

Right, Lucifer was sure that his body wouldn't be able to survive if he forces himself to use another one of his powers. The reason being is that his body already thinned out with just the use of his Demon Eyes in a single second.

There's no telling what might happen to his body if he uses one of his powers for more than a second.

However, it was then that a brilliant idea suddenly entered Lucifer's mind.

Well, it wasn't really an idea as Lucifer just remembered something.

And that was...

"Grim Reaper: First Form!" Lucifer shouted out loud as he used a little bit of his mana and made it leak out of his body.

And as soon as he did, the Grim Reaper...Grimmy used the mana to form itself on the air as Grimmy floated on the air.

However, there was something different to Grimmy now compared to the time when Lucifer summoned it before.

If, before, Grimmy was a scary-looking devil who could probably scare a war veteran with just its looks, right now, Grimmy would just be laughed at by children.

Why? It was because...Grimmy looks like a stick that was malnourished with some kind of chain on its hands.

Hell, Grimmy couldn't even hold its own weapon properly as it kept falling out of its hands.

And when Lucifer saw Grimmy like that, he could guess the reason almost immediately why Grimmy was like that.

"Hah...my condition is that bad, huh? To think that you got affected by it, too..." Lucifer murmured as he looked at Grimmy, who was floating in the air.

However, the fact that Lucifer didn't disperse Grimmy at all means that Lucifer sees Grimmy as useful in this situation.

And that was indeed the fact as even this stick Grim Reaper would be able to do something in this situation.

However...before even Lucifer could order Grimmy to do something, a sudden noise suddenly disrupted him.

"P-Patriarch...? What the hell...is going on..." A shaky voice resounded out in this place.

And it caught Lucifer's attention, which made Lucifer turn his head towards the source.

Of course, it was Rouge, who was now standing right beside the corpse of the Patriarch.

As it all happened very fast and it happened with Lucifer killed him with just a look, Rouge didn't know what was going on.

He didn't know if the Patriarch was killed or if the Patriarch just lost his consciousness due to old age.

It was very obvious, but Rouge just thought that the Patriarch just needed some kind of good smacking so that he would wake up now since he was still in a battle.

However, when Rouge first came to his senses, that was exactly what he did; he gave the Patriarch a good smacking to wake him up.

But...no matter how much he tried to wake up the Patriarch without Lucifer noticing, the Patriarch wouldn't wake up at all.

Incidentally, the only reason why Lucifer didn't notice what Rouge was doing was because he was too immersed in himself and his injuries.

Well, it was only natural for him to be that focused on himself if his physical condition was this bad.

Anyway, that was the reason why Rouge was just looking at the Patriarch as confusion was set in his mind, not knowing what to do in this situation.

And that was only normal. After all, his bosses, the 6 pillars and the Patriarch, were suddenly lying on the ground.

Although it seems like a lot of time has already passed, that was certainly not the case.

At most, only 5 minutes have passed. And seeing the 6 pillars and the Patriarch collapsed on the ground, Rouge...was not able to take it in better and was just thinking that this was just an illusion or a dream or whatever.

After all, the 6 pillars and the Patriarch were the people that Rouge thought to be the strongest.

He thought that no one would be able to beat them, and he was right in that.

People in the Zacharath Kingdom wouldn't be able to defeat them this fast. It would take them a lot of time and manpower to take down the 6 pillars and the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

However...Rouge just didn't know the existence of the Hell Gods, the true powerhouse in the Hidden world.

They were literal gods walking the Hidden world. Even though Lucifer was just a shell of his past self with his physical condition, Rouge's heaven, which was the Patriarch, is only an ant to him.

And Rouge...was not able to understand this fact.

Well, it was because he didn't know anything yet so that was understandable.

"Ah, I forgot about you since I was in this situation, but you were still here, huh," Lucifer's voice resounded out in Rouge's ears.
