Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

At the same time, Lucas was making a deal with Jessica. He extended his hand and asked. "Do we have a deal?"

He stared into her blue eyes, making her feel anxious. The deal was that Lucas would kill her stepfather, and she would never speak about visions that included Lucas. While Lucas was waiting for her answer, he exclaimed. "I wouldn't mind killing you here, and now, I am offering a deal as a charity." A smirk formed on his lips.

Jessica looked at him, then glanced at Lucas's hand before answering. "Yes, we have a deal!" She answered calmly, keeping her voice low. She understood that this was the only way to survive and added, "One more thing. You won't kill me soon after I make a deal with you."

"Trust me, babe," Lucas's eyes glowed red as his malicious mana spread around him. "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so already."

Jessica gulped. Her instincts told her that Lucas wasn't lying. So she took his hand, shaking it. "Alright. We have a deal."

A black flame engulfed Lucas's and Jessica's hands as the deal was made. This made Jessica flinch. However, she still held Lucas's hand. When the deal was made, the two of them let go of each other's hands, and Lucas's clapped.

"Great. Now about your stepfather." Lucas exclaimed and called for Salathiel. "Salathiel? Can you hear me?"

Jessica and Lilith stared at Lucas, wondering who he was talking to. But soon, Lilith realized that he was talking to an angel girl. "Hey... Are you talking to those angel women?"

Lucas winked at Lilith and stayed silent as a portal appeared beside him. A blonde angel girl with twin tails walked out, wearing white, slinky clothes. "You called?" she was already used to speaking to Lucas casually.

Lucas smirked. "A certain bastard has been threatening my new friend, so I'm asking you to get rid of him."

"Mhm..." Salathiel gazed at Lilith and Jessica with cold eyes and nodded. "Sure." she extended her hand toward Jessica. "Let's go."

Jessica trembled as she never saw Salathiel, even in her visions. However, she could feel Salathiel's terrifying mana and immense killing intent. That killing intent was enough to make Jessica dizzy, so when Salathiel extended her hand toward her, she instinctively stepped back.

"Mhm..." Salathiel continued staring at Jessica while her hand extended toward her. "Come on. I won't bite." She paused, then added, "Unless you want me to..." Salathiel bit her own lip.

"Salathiel, stop teasing her." Lucas gestured towards Salathiel. "Just get over with this."

The angel girl nodded and walked towards Jessica. She grabbed Jessica's hand, and the two of them disappeared.

"S-she's not going to kill our new classmate... Will she?" Lilith asked with a worried expression. "Where the fuck did you find that creature?" Lilith added a question before Lucas could answer the first one.

"Well, I didn't order her to kill Jessica." Lucas shrugged. "If she kills her, it's not on me."

"And about a second question?" she asked.

"It wasn't me who found them," Lucas told her with a smile on his face. "They found me."

Lilith stared at him for a moment and asked. "Can you trust them?" She could sense how powerful the angels were, so she couldn't believe that those monsters would serve someone for no reason. "They could probably rival my father..." She exclaimed as her thoughts

Lucas chuckled, then answered. "Well, it's just as you said. They could probably rival your father." Then his face turned serious, and his tone turned cold, "If they wanted me dead... They would have killed me long ago."

Lilith nodded, "True... But still, did they explain why they serve you?" she asked.

Lucas raised his brow, "What's wrong? What happened to your nigh-omniscience?" he asked as he crossed his hands on his chest. "Shouldn't you know everything?"

"Well, yeah..." Lilith replied. "But for whatever reason, I can't see anything when you're in Snowlands."

Lucas chuckled, "Awww, you're watching over me?"

"This is serious, Lucas." she glared at him, "Ever since those two appeared, you changed," she said as she pointed at him. "You've become more aggressive ever since those two appeared."

"Meh, I guess." Lucas shrugged. Then he gazed at her, "But isn't that a good thing?"

"Huh?"

"Just think about it, Lilith." Lucas sighed. "I have been bullied my entire life; I was exiled after my mana was sealed. Everything was taken from me. I kept seeing the ghosts of my past whenever I looked in the mirror."

"Lucas..." Lilith exclaimed when she came to a realization. "Lucas, I think..." she said, but Lucas interrupted her.

"I have you two now, Sarah and you. Now I have Salathiel, Araniel, and others." Lucas smiled. "Is it so wrong that I feel the urge to get more things? Even if it is by being more aggressive?"

Lilith felt shivers down her spine as she looked at Lucas's gentle smile. She looked down, as she couldn't continue looking at Lucas anymore. She muttered. "Your memories are becoming mixed up..."

"What?"

"Reviving the dead made you slowly remember your life on Lightburn..." she gritted her teeth. "This explains everything."

"What are you talking about, Lilith." Lucas frowned.

"Lucas, you became more aggressive because you're starting to remember the life of your body." She explained, "This is the reason for your grudge against the holy kingdom; this is the reason why you don't want to feel weak..."

Lucas closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. He thought about what to reply but decided to ask a question. "And that's a bad thing?"

"YES!" she yelled. "Do you have ANY IDEA how tormented you were before you gained memories from Earth?! You can become a monster!" she continued before covering her mouth. "Lucas... I am sorry," she muttered as she gazed at Lucas's emotionless expression. "I didn't mean..."

"It's okay." Lucas shrugged. He didn't feel offended. He knew he was a monster; in fact... he had always been a monster. "I've been a monster even when I lived on Earth."

"Lucas... You weren't..."

"I am not sure how much you know about my life on Earth, but..." Lucas walked closer to Lilith. Their faces were so close that they would kiss if they moved an inch. "But normal people wouldn't do the same things I did."

"..." Lilith stared at him speechlessly, she wanted to apologize, but Lucas stopped her before she could even mutter another word.

"Besides, stop contradicting yourself." Lucas started laughing. "First, you call me a monster; then you start defending me when I agree with you."

Lilith wanted to tell Lucas that she had been his friend in a previous life when they were children, but she had been gone for so many years she was no longer sure how he would react. She desperately wanted to tell him, but the words caught in her throat. She sighed heavily, not knowing how to express her feelings. In the end, all Lilith could manage was a simple "Just continue being my friend."
