Hellbents
Chapter 188: Quest Success!
He can win.
Ava has a chance for revenge, satisfying her petty dark side that demands justice. His status points were twice as big as Lucifer's. No one would casually water Ava with wine and humiliate her in public without severe consequences!
But on the other hand, Ava has to be a responsible adult. It was not the time that the impulsive nature of the girl shone.
... Maybe just one fist?
Argh, no.
The devil, the manifestation of high prices, will not take it for granted. It will most likely break out again a fight.
Plus, Ava was still tired.
Facing Venus King had drained her energy.
Now just every fiber of his muscles screamed fatigue, his breathing was not even normal, still panting.
Lucifer also still has an overpowered skill that makes people obey his orders unconditionally.
In the end, Ava's rational side won.
... But that does not mean Ava threw away her intention to fight the evil creature that is glorified.
"I don't know how civilization in the demon world, but humans are social creatures, Luci, we work together." Ava was pleased with the mocking intonation she could unleash even though her throat still felt half-dead dry.
"Shut up."
"You may not know about cooperation, considering you were sent down from heaven for refusing orders."
One eye job, the figure of Lucifer is already shadowing Ava who is still sitting on the ground. Ellijah beside him remained silent, tense yet ready at any moment to protect his female idol, in contrast to a few days ago.
But other than tight jaws and laser-hotting, the demon just asked a question that was more of a shock than a curiosity, "Where do you know that?"
The story from its original dimension turned out to be true. But Ava prefers to be evasive, not wanting to give satisfaction to Lucifer's question mark, "Still feeling that your degree is higher than human, Luci? But isn't your level also reset in this gate? It seems like the reputation of demons like you is exaggerated in history." Ava knew very well where she had to pierce with words to pull the pompous demon to the ground.
Lucifer laughed, cruel and dark. "Mortal has a unique way of joking." However, there is no humor in the eye with the iris shining an ellipsis-shaped red. "But one more word out of your mouth, I'll make sure you and your friends won't be able to enter the portal out alive."
Looking at the girl before him who was silent, Lucifer took it as obedience. Although he hated the twinkle of satisfaction in the black bead of the mortal world's princess.
He then glanced towards the shining blue portal that was now free for anyone to enter because the monster guarding it had been ripe toasted, grilled, and that was because the trash mortals who had just mounted horses and raised their weapons.
Cih, he's late.
Lucifer would rather die than admit that he was blind, so the gate containing the labyrinth was a nightmare. But at least he believes that he is the one who kills the most other lowly monsters to increase his contribution points in this gate.
The first position in the leaderboard is the goal.
That way his chances of winning in the bet he made with his six other brothers became higher.
What is their motivation to do something? What else if not boredom!
There was hardly a gate that accepted a superior-leveled demon like them, which was why he took advantage of this rare moment that happened once every 666 years to play like he used to.
Ultra Gate's. The product of dimensional friction that forms a levelless and multi-layered gate.
Pfft, game masters often boast of the world of their creation, but still cannot repair damage like this.
Huh, a bunch of fools.
After consoling his own thoughts with a curse for the god, Lucifer walked towards the exit portal. His figure was lost in a bright blue hologram with a sentence that looked more like a threat, "Stay keep your head in sync with your neck as you exit this gate," coupled with a clear statement predicting bad luck, "Well, that's also if you can get out."
Congrats!
The man who successfully carried out the mission 1/342
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, their tension melted with the sound of a ding! from system notifications. They still did not think, why was Princess Eve so desperate to invite a demon to argue?!
"The habit is hard to stop" River murmured tiredly.
Their shock was raised again by the gasping princess. "Gosh, that shitty devil deliciously entered the portal first when our hard-earned monster defeated it!"
