"You look great. Crowned prince of hell, Astaroth." Everyone was shocked again because I knew the identity of the man lying inside this coffin.
"Let's do this system"
「Yes master! (≧▽≦)」
I extended my hand to Astaroth's lying body, a black light shot out from my hand and wrapped Astaroth's body. Everyone has a dumbfounded face.
The light that came out of my hand was absorbed into Astaroth's body and then disappeared. Then the light came back out and formed a small globular blob.
that is the core of life.
The little ball towards me.
I raised the core of life that was in my hands.
"Rise, Astaroth!"
Bang out!
Astaroth's body floated in the air and let out a light.
I smiled with satisfaction.
Astaroth's eyes slowly began to open. He got up and came down before me and knelt down.
"My lord, I'm back"
"Welcome back, Astaroth" my smile widened. And the faces of those around me gawk like fools.
I turned around and looked at the man who had doubted me. Astaroth stood up again, and quietly behind me became a good follower.
"I have no doubt, O our ancestors" everyone except Astaroth knelt down before me. I smiled with satisfaction.
"Then can I rest now?"
"We'll get ready soon!" They answered with passion.
I turned towards Astaroth who had a smile more satisfied than me. "Is there something you want Astaroth?"
"No my lord, my only wish is to serve you" Astaroth bowed respectfully.
Hearing that respectful tone, I got a little goosebumps.it was actually creepy.
"Ekhem alright, I'll rest first.You better get some rest"
"Understood, my lord"
I nodded and followed one of the knights who would show me my room.
°°°
I lay my body on a soft bed. I feel tired of just disappearing.
my energy today has been spent talking to a lot of people. Continuing to act quietly as long as it was really too exhausting! How can people survive to be around others for so long?
And I also did not expect that I could make the core of life that easy, even though I still used the help of the system. The power of the gods is so terrible.
On a whim, I opened my status window.

"Oh yes system why does my level status contain this question mark?"
I tapped my level with a finger, but nothing changed.
「that's because the master level can't be accumulated. the master is too strong! ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧」
"really?" I was quite flattered by the compliment, so my mood got better.
"Then why none of my tittle 'fallen angel' skills showed up"
「Ah seems like it is a skill that the master received directly from the previous god.As the previous gods have died, the skills become error and cannot function properly. Take it easy master, even without those skills, master is still the invincible one in this world! <( ¡︶ ̄)>」
it disappointed me a little because I was wondering what skill would be received from this tittle.
I looked at the ceiling of the room on my back, then I thought of something.
Should I raise another Lucifer subordinate? In the world recording I received, it seems Lucifer has many subordinates.I guess I should do it, more subordinates better haha!
°°°
the next morning I woke up to the knocking of the door
Tok!
"My lord, it's me" I yawned and immediately allowed Astaroth to enter.
"Come in" Astaroth opened the door without a sound.
"Are you well rested?" I'm chit-talking.
"Yes I rest well my lord! My strength has also begun to recover"
"That's it, great"
"By the way there's something I want to talk about" I said. Astaroth was waiting for me to speak.
"I think we should raise up our other friends right away, right? what say?"
"Of course it doesn't matter, your wish is my wish as well. But before that my lord, was I the first to be awakened?" Astaroth asked as he filled my empty teacup.
"Yes" I replied indifferently.
"Really?" Astaroth's smile expanded, his pointed ears twitching. What the fuck is this reaction?
Astaroth slowly knelt down while putting his left hand on his chest.
"I am honored to be the first to be raised by the hand of my lord. I'm sure the others will be envious as soon as they hear this" The snake wrapped around Astaroth's left hand hissed as soon as it heard this, as if approving of his words.
What the fuck?
「They are really subordinates that impress the master! I'll follow it! (◍__◍)」
You don't have to follow!
One of them has made me shiver.
"for now look for information about other body locations, I think Elvis can be relied on for this. We will stay here for a while until we find useful information" I ordered.
"understand"
"mm you can go"
after Astaroth's departure, I stretched my body and walked towards the balcony. I watched the soldiers and knights who were practicing the sword.
「skill 'demon' eyes' activated」
Their average level was at the number one thousand, I guess it was quite weak?
well I don't have time to think about it, it's time to search for information.
"system let's find information"
°°°
These few days I spend time in the library with the system to find more information. Astaroth sometimes accompanies me.
「I found it! \(°o°)/」
"Tell me" I'm impatient.
「In my monitoring, I found something like a chest in the middle of a fiery mountain.I'm sure it must be one of your master's subordinate bodies! (☆▽☆)」
"are you sure?"
「very sure <( ¡︶ ̄)>」
With the information from the system I told Astaroth to check the situation around the volcano. Astaroth finally sent some of his snakes there.
and finally we decided to leave after another week.
°°°
"It's peaceful. It's nice" I muttered as I relaxed on the balcony terrace while sipping tea.
"Yes my lord. This is what you have longed for" Astaroth smiled in response to me.
as usual, I noticed the knight practicing the sword from the balcony.
"Hei Astaroth aren't they too weak? Even their king is also much weaker than you" Astaroth looked at my gaze before speaking
"It's true they're so weak. Even they don't deserve to be your follower my lord"
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
"Do you want to train them?" Astaroth was a little surprised at my question.
"But I have to keep my lord here"
Until when will he keep me?! Go anywhere! I'd go crazy if you kept on with me!
"I'm not someone who needs protection. I'm not sure anyone would dare touch me anyway" I sipped tea.
「Really! Master is very strong! (≧▽≦)」
"My lord is right.but at least let me be by your side my lord! I will try hard to be of use to you my lord!"
He's really stubborn.
"I don't forbid you to be by my side. It's just that occasionally train them so that they can be useful to me in the future"
"Yes my lord!" This time he answered firmly.
The next day after giving me breakfast, Astaroth immediately went to train the knights. I watched them from the balcony. Looks like they're working hard.
"My lord!" Astaroth waved his hand at me after realizing my whereabouts. I smiled at him a little.
"Oh ancestor!" The knights also looked at me.
"Train hard! My lord is looking at you! Don't disappoint!" Astaroth shouted at the knights.
"Yes!" The knights answered with vigor.
「I also want to swing a sword like that! (✷ ⁇ ✷)」
I ignored the system and ate some fruit.
Without feeling the time of departure arrived.
°°°
(flashback Astaroth)
Astaroth looked at the sleeping face of his master after spending time walking around the palace. Then he smiled.
"i am glad to be able to serve you again my lord"
100,000 years ago, his master disappeared after completing a massive war against the gods. Even though they won, no one celebrated.
Everyone parted ways to find their master in all parts of the country. But there is no clue. One by one they lost contact, At that time Astaroth could not contact anyone.
It reminded him of the moment before he met his master. His body was thin, he was hungry. Many demon villages were destroyed, he was only a weak demon who escaped from the village when the entire population of his village was massacred by the humans who claimed that they had received a revelation from the god.
He hid in the forest and cowered in fear. Then someone approached him. A person with beautiful large silver wings and a horn on his head.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly. At that moment Astaroth could only bite his lips in fear.
"You don't have to be afraid. I'm just like you. Look" he showed me his horns. But Astaroth silently did not answer.
"Do you want to come with me? I will protect you from that cruel god and kill him for you" Astaroth just silently listened.
"I will make you stronger so that you can even make people submit to your gaze. So don't just hide and run away. Since from now on you will become a prince of a great demon country" that person placed a crown on Astaroth's head and smiled. Astaroth raised his head, the hand that held his head so warm. He shed tears, for a long time he had not felt any warmth. Every day he just curled up in fear while enduring hunger.
From then on, Lucifer became his master. A demon and an angel. Someone who is cruel and also has a soft heart. Someone who gives him hope. Someone who gave him power. Someone who wants peace more than anyone. Someone who protects his subordinates. Someone who is willing to sacrifice his whole soul.
Although other races saw that he was only an Angel who fell for defying a god. He is someone who releases the shackles of discrimination to those beings who are branded as evil beings by gods. He did it for justice, but he was blamed and branded as the most sinful creature in the world. No one respects his good intentions. But he still stood on the battlefield. He looked at the god with courage and killed him.
Astaroth who could only look at his master's back at that moment. Then he realized that his master had kept his promise. He had managed to kill a god for her.
"My lord please don't go again. I don't know what will happen if you leave us again. I will always protect you no matter what. I swear on my name my lord"
