One True God

"Even though I'm interested in you, I wouldn't hesitate to kill you at the drop of a hat."

Lucifer said all those words with fierce killing intent roaming in the air, surrounding Raya Pazier.

And what Lucifer was definitely the truth. Just because Lucifer decided to act according to what he's feeling doesn't mean that he wouldn't act against it anymore.

The only reason why Lucifer decided to act based on emotions is out of curiosity.

He was...curious. He was curious about why and how he was feeling like this. He wanted to know the answer, and of course, he wanted to find out the answer by meeting the source of it all, which is Raya Pazier.

However, if Raya Pazier turns out to be a troublesome woman and Lucifer didn't like her, it was an absolute fact that Lucifer would make do with her head right away.

Of course, the fact that Lucifer even showed Raya Pazier the corpse of the sixth son to prove that he's not an enemy means that he was still being lenient with Raya Pazier.

And that was only natural. Lucifer still wanted to find out the reason why he's feeling like he should save Raya Pazier, after all.

It's not like what Raya Pazier did earlier was something that would cause a rift in Lucifer's plans.

What's more, Raya Pazier had actually done the same thing when Lucifer and she first met in her house.

That was why it wasn't that hard for Lucifer to be merciful even though Raya Pazier has already raised her blade against Lucifer two times.

However, that does not mean that Lucifer won't really kill her if she dares to repeat her insolence act towards Lucifer.

That was why Lucifer said those words to make sure that he would get his point across Raya Pazier's head.

However, Raya Pazier was seriously not listening to a single word that he said at all.

Raya Pazier was just staring at the body of the sixth son, the man who caused her whole family to be destroyed and her parents to get killed.

Of course, she knew the reason why. It was all because the sixth son wanted Raya Pazier for himself that it all came down to this.

But Raya Pazier's parents knew about the sixth son's personality and rejected any marriage deal that the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House offered to them.

As strong as the Warmester Denoble House was the love of Raya Pazier's parents for their daughter. They wouldn't want to give their precious daughter to a bastard of a man.

Raya Pazier herself also turned down the sixth son several times before because Raya Pazier personally didn't like the man himself, but he was just persistent.

He courted Raya Pazier in every way possible; through connections, gold, influence, and everything that he has to offer.

He literally did everything that he could just so he could get the yes of the woman named Raya Pazier and become his woman.

Of course, it all ended with no results since Raya Pazier turned it all down.

Eventually, the sixth son grew tired of it all and just decided to change his approach in this courting, which then resulted in the fall of Raya Pazier's family and everything was taken away from her.

Simply because of unwanted love that came from a powerful man from the Warmester Denoble House.

And that was why Raya Pazier hated the sixth son all the more. It was unwanted love in the first place, yet everything around her was destroyed and even her loved family was destroyed.

Even if the Pazier Denoble House were to get destroyed, Raya Pazier herself wouldn't mind if her family would have survived.

Raya Pazier understood the art of war more than anyone since she has already led her family's soldiers to war before.

But...the fact that her parents were killed was something that Raya Pazier would never forgive, which lead to Raya Pazier hating on the entire Warmester Denoble House.

She swore to kill the sixth son herself and destroy the Warmester Denoble House.

But alas, her strength was not enough and she can only hide in the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom.

She thought that the capital city of the Zacharath Kingdom would be a good place to hide since the Warmester Denoble House wouldn't expect she would hide in an obvious place.

Of course, she was found quickly since the four organizations under the Warmester Denoble House were operating in the capital city, which now led to this situation.

That was why Raya Pazier could only look at the corpse of the sixth son with her eyes shaking, unable to believe it.

Raya Pazier took on the Warmester Denoble House alone, and she lost.

And with no boasting or anything of the sort, Raya Pazier knew that she is one of the strongest demons in the Zacharath Kingdom.

And not even one of the strongest demons in the Zacharath Kingdom was able to take down the sixth son outside the Warm City.

Now...a sight in front of her telling her that the sixth son fell to another man's hands right at the middle of the Warm City?

It was just pure impossible.

However, as time passed, the denial of reality soon changed into curiosity.

How did this happen? Who did it? Just what is happening?

All sorts of questions were floating in Raya Pazier's mind, causing her to look at the man who brought her to this place.

"So? Finally finished thinking?" Lucifer spoke as soon as he felt Raya Pazier's gaze land on him.

Of course, a lot of time passed but that was just because Lucifer allowed that to happen, which is why he knew as soon as Raya Pazier turned her head.

However, Raya Pazier didn't care about any of that and spoke while stammering, "W-w-what happened here...w-who are you? Wha...what's going on? D-did you kill him?"

Raya Pazier said with great effort due to the great shock that overwhelmed her in both body and mind.

"You're asking too many questions at once. But well, I'll answer it in a simple way."

"Basically, I saw you here and then I decided to save you, and in the process, I killed that man."

"Ah, don't say something like 'that's bullshit' or anything of the sort. I already killed the Patriarch and the 6 pillars of the Warmester Denoble House."

"No one here is powerful enough to stop whatever I want to do."

Lucifer said those words without missing a single beat. And as soon as he finished talking, Raya Pazier was about to shout 'That's bullshit! Are you lying to me or what?!' because of Lucifer's statement of killing the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

As Raya Pazier tried to fight against the Warmester Denoble House before, she knew how strong he was.

That was why it was bullshit. The Patriarch was so strong even though he was old, so it was just impossible for Lucifer, who didn't even feel that powerful, to defeat him.

However, before even Raya Pazier could shout, Rouge, the one who was just staying silent due to feeling awkward about the whole situation, finally spoke up.

"What Lucis said is the truth. He killed the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House and its 6 pillars right in front of me, and I witnessed it all."

'Though, I don't really know how he killed them.' Rouge thought in between before speaking again.

"If you need credibility, then I am one of the captains in the Warmester Denoble House. My name is Rouge. As low as my rank is, my name should be known to you, the First Beauty of the Pazier." Rouge said.

And what he said made the two turn their heads towards him.

Of course, what Rouge said is the truth. Raya Pazier definitely knew the name 'Rouge.'

"You...Rouge, you say? You mean you are the Wandering Demon who is working as an assassin for the Warmester Denoble House?" Raya Pazier said as she squinted her eyes, looking for any signs that may tell her that Rouge was lying.

After all, even though Rouge was a low-raking one, he was really powerful.

In fact, his rank should have been way higher. It was just that the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House ordered it so that he wouldn't be able to go higher than captain for a few years.

This is so that Rouge would train himself and get stronger.

And to the enemies of the Warmester Denoble House, the name 'Rouge' is famous.

However, because Raya Pazier has not met Rouge even once, she didn't know how he looked like.

"You want proof, huh?" Rouge said, and Raya Pazier nodded her head.

Rouge then looked at Lucifer, "Lucis, may I?"

"I don't mind. Go ahead," Lucifer said. Though, Lucifer didn't really know what Rouge was planning to do.

Anyway, once permission has been granted to him, Rouge began to draw his sword.

To be exact, his mana-sword, the symbol of the Wandering Demon.

The area around his hand started to light up with his mana, eventually forming into a sword.

Raising this light of sword, Rouge spoke, "I am the Wandering Demon, Rouge of the Warmester Denoble House."
