”Oh! So the man’s name is Lucifer, and the girl is named Nemesis. What a good names, only a powerful man has the right to be named like that.”
Orpheus mumbled in appreciation.
”Fuck Off!. What a nerve. It is not because I’m not the Ruler anymore that you have the right to talk to me like that. A lowly dog dares to bark in front of me. Even your masters wouldn’t dare to talk to me like that. Know your ce.” Lucifer furiously replied.
”Ah! If you don’t know what is good for you, I can only kill you then. Kill him but do not touch his daughter; she is necessary for the next n, they said.” Themander of the squad pursuing the three ordered.
”Nemesis, when I start fighting with them, use themotion to escape quickly. Even if I’m still injured, I can stall them for some time; please live well; do not avenge me; this is bigger than you. Go, this is an order’,’ Lucifer whispered to his daughter Nemesis, who nodded; even if she wanted to fight side by side with his father, she knew that now was not the time to be wistful; she felt like crying but nevertheless, she still followed her father order.
From where Orpheus was overlooking everything, even with the number of men chasing after them, he could quickly kill them all, but he would need to pay a heavy price; he would be exhausted after that, which meant he would be vulnerable. A condition Orpheus didn’t want to be in.
Orpheus discovers that Lucifer was but who would have thought that he was the Ruler of the Demon race. Fifty men surrounded them; most were demons while the others were angels.
He found the current situation extremely fun.
”Interesting! It seems that I’m lucky. To think that I would directly encounter Lumis and Grimm creations.”
The fifty men began attacking Lucifer and his daughter. Despite his injuries, Lucifer still managed to kill ten of them, but his injuries were aggravated. Nemesis didn’t flee because she was surrounded; she managed to eliminate three men, but she was already at her limit; she was gasping for breath. She was strong; her potential seemed limitless, a dual element wielder: Darkness and Fire elements.
The squadmander that was pursuing the three suggested: ”Lucifer; you are now exhausted, even your daughter is exhausted. Even if you’ve killed some of my men I still have thirty-seven men with lots of stamina left. Do you want to continue this meaningless struggle? If you don’t care about yourself, please think about your daughter. Surrender.”
Lucifer didn’t answer, but strangely, he turned towards Orpheus’s direction as he was sure that someone was there.
Although he couldn’t see who was the other party, he said: ”Venerable one, this humble one greets you. Even though I don’t know your intentions, I know that you are watching. I pray you to give us a helping hand. I’m not saying to rescue me, but at least please take my daughter away; I don’t care about my fate, but I can die in peace knowing she is safe. I will be eternally grateful if, by some miracle, I survive. I swear to the heavens that I Lucifer Morningstar life and everything will be yours. Except my daughter. Please Venerable one.”
”Have you be mad because of your injuries? What at you bbering since a while ago. Sigh! who would have thought that the mighty Lucifer Morningstar would fall this low and bes a retard.” Said themander with ridicules.
”Dad?” Even Nemesis looked questioningly at her father, astonished by his action.
‘Well, Even if I were in their ce, my reaction would be the same. Hehehe! What an interesting and shrewd man, he knows that someone is watching, but he’s not sure. Despite this, he chooses to gamble. He looks like he is pleading with me, but on the other hand, he is dragging me in. I may choose not to intervene, but I bet if I do, in desperation, he may do something foolish. Ah! Better help quickly finishing this; I’m tired,’ Orpheus thought.
Having decided to rescue them, Orpheus shifted back to the real world; everybody was astonished by his sudden apparition; even Lucifer, well, knew he was gambling, but his gamble paid off; it was probably what he was thinking right now.
”…Who are you? I don’t know you but I hope you won’t interfere with our mission, that will not do you any good. Better cherish your life, not lose it for a ridiculous thing like helping someone you don’t know. I advise you not to do something you will regret.” Themander said, ring at Orpheus.
Thetter’s eyes narrowed dangerously when he heard his sentence. Lucifer’s eyes dimmed when he saw Orpheus’s reaction; he probably assumed that he was scared, but it was not what happened.
Suddenly, Orpheus startedughing; heughed hard before coldly saying.’
‘Silence’
The world trembled, and space violently shook; Orpheus was very pissed now; who would have thought that those two assholes were plotting on this group of three. Following his shout, he snapped his fingers, summoning his red sword.
”Devour”
The crimson sword appeared to be roaring *Roaaar* before he immediately pounced on the men trying to swallow everything.
Lucifer paled, and he started shivering; this power was probably beyond his imagination; strangely, from the start, Nemesis seemed in a trance, foolishly looking in his direction.
”My lord, I’m Lucifer Morningstar, the previous Ruler of the Demon race. I swore from today onwards that I am yours, I will follow everything you say, but I will go against any order that will cause harm to my daughter. If I ever go back on my words, may the heavens strike me down with his Divine Lightning erasing my soul from this world” Lucifer kneeled, pleading his allegiance on the spot.
‘Yeah, I heard you. I won’t cause any harm to your daughter. I inwardly thought that, when suddenly ‘Crap, I seem that I overuse my remaining energy, now I’m exhausted, I wanna sleep, I started to lose my consciousness, slowly falling towards the ground but before I fell I sent a mental message to Lucifer asking him to find a good cave somewhere for us to rest, we will talk after I wake up. After that, I started falling again, but strangely, I fell into something soft and bouncy. It smells nice; this is not Lucifer; it must be Nemesis. Well, it doesn’t matter. I fell asleep thinking that.’
It was Nemesis, the one that stopped his fall.
”Certainly, my lord,” Lucifer replied; after that, he did what his lord instructed.
~Three dayster.
Deep in the forest, in a remote area, on a mountain not too tall, you could see an artificial cave with the entrance blocked by a giant boulder.
Inside the cave were four individuals; naturally, it was Orpheus and the Morningstar family. When he woke up, Lucifer hastily let go of his dead wife’s body before kneeling in front of him.
”Greetings, my Lord, How are you feeling?” Lucifer asked.
Orpheus waved his hands, dismissing him, informing him that he was feeling a little bit better now. Lucifer Morningstar was a handsome man, chiseled jawline, red eyes, and ck eyes, a pair of curved horns on his head, testimony of his racial features, a Demon, not the previous Ruler of the demon race. Nemesis was a beauty like he had guessed, a natural-born seductress; she had a pair of heterochromia eyes, one gold, and the other red; she inherited one eye from each of her parents. She was sitting beside Orpheus, silently observing him as if he was a piece of art.
Suddenly, Orpheus asked Lucifer: ”So, What is your story?”
”Yes, my lord, it was like this. ”
To sum up, Lucifer Morningstar was not a Pure demon but a mixed one; his father was the previous Ruler, and he had a short adventure with a woman from the angel race resulting in Lucifer’s birth, the woman in question died after giving birth to Lucifer. Lucifer was persecuted for being a mixed breed, an abomination they called him, his father was criticized for having had an adventure his someone from the angel race, but because of how powerful and ruthless he was, nobody criticized him too much. Lucifer became a teen, but he was still persecuted; his father didn’t intervene when he was bullied, and Lucifer resented him for that; he understood that he was ming him for his mother’s death, even if it was a short adventure, his father deeply loved her.
Lucifer was really talented, more than his other siblings.
Never would he have thought that, when it was time for his father to select a crown prince, he would be the one to get chosen; this astonished everybody, this left them furious, but they were powerless to do anything; nothing could change this man’s decision, once he decided on something nothing could change it.
Like that Lucifer became the crown prince, his father died two hundred yearster, and Lucifer became the new Ruler; even though the others didn’t want to acknowledge him because he was too powerful and more ruthless than his father, they were forced to submit to him. Lucifer married a Demon, and she became his empress, giving birth to three children, two boys, and one girl both talented.
Lucifer continued to rule, however, nobody knew if it was fate or a curse because during one of his outings disguised in secret, he met a woman, she was fleeing, they bumped against each other, the hood covering their heads fell, instantly Lucifer was captivated by the woman’s beauty, the same thing happened to the woman, it was literally love at first sight.
The woman was beautiful, like a fairy, with golden hair, and a pair of beautiful golden eyes.
Luciferter found out that some men were chasing the woman and as a gentleman who fell in love he stepped forward and rescued the woman like knight on shinning armor.
This was how the two encountered each other; the woman became pregnant shortly after. The demons were furious after learning that this woman was also from the angel race; like his father, Lucifer did the same thing. They started revolting, but they were quickly suppressed; even some men came from the angel race side wanting to take back the woman because she was the next Holy Daughter, they told him that when it was time for her to inherit that title because of the momentarypse in her surveince, she fled.
The angels thought they could get the Holy daughter back but unfortunately they couldn’t as Lucifer was too powerful. They were forced to leave but swore toe back.
Few monthster that woman gives birth to a girl named Nemesis, a beauty, a genius, and a monster; her potential was limitless; the other siblings be jealous, fearful of Nemesis’s potential, and they start secretly plotting with the other families.
When Nemesis turned eighteen, the angels who were in touch with Lucifer’s sons arrived with many men.
It was on that day Lucifer learned that the traitors were his second, third and wife.
Furious, Lucifer fought against those people, killing a few amongst them, and chased the remaining ones; he was also injured, dragging his exhausted body back; he was astonished to see that his son, the crown prince who he thought was the only one that did not betray him, betraying him. He conspired with the Asmodeus family, letting them take over the throne.
Nemesis and her mother were apprehended and put in the Death Prison, a prison said to give chill even to a ghost. Nemesis’s mother was gravely injured was almost at death door.
Desparate Lucifer killed his way towards the prison to rescue the two; they were pursued when they fled, by more than a hundred people, both from the two races ( Demon and Angel alike); Lucifer and Nemesis mother fought their way out, sustaining more injuries, Nemesis mother died protecting her daughter and just as he thought everything was lost he met Orpheus.
”What a sad story” Orpheus said; truly a sad story; Lucifer and Nemesis looked crestfallen; nheless, he must continue with his n even though he had to alter it slightly. Thinking about what he was about to say, no, do. Orpheus wore an evil smile on his face; he started inwardlyughing.
Naturally, Lucifer and Nemesis noticed his strange smile; they couldn’t help but shiver, looking at his evil smile; for some reason, they felt fear. Even though he was afraid, Lucifer asked
”My lord?”
Orpheus didn’t immediately respond, but after a while, a smile blossomed on his face, an innocent smile, but for some reason, it felt like a smile a devil has when he tempts you to sign a contract. He said:
”Lucifer, I can bring Freya back, but you will pay the price. Do you agree?”
”What?” The two shouted, shocked by the sudden proposal.
The devil’s whisper was too enticing not to be ensnared.
