One True God

Chapter 136: Lucifer's Life

'S-so, he's indeed Lucifer!' Oumu thought.

How come Oumu was sure that the Blood Guardian is indeed the Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer, and that Lucis is indeed Lucifer?

He just said a name, and that was it. He did nothing special that could have unlocked the mystery for him or did he do anything mind-breaking.

Well, it was simple. It was because...it is indeed simple.

Oumu was the type of guy who studies everything. As long as his interest is piqued, he would study everything related to the subject he's interested in.

Naturally, Oumu...has heard of Lucifer, the Hell God. Although history seems to have been influenced by someone, the facts are still...the facts.

And it was a fact that Lucifer had a brother named Samael. Since Samael is directly linked to Lucifer, Oumu has studied everything about Samael, too.

However, even though he did everything that he could to make sure that he would be able to find out anything about Samael, Oumu was not able to find even a single trace of him except for the one that says that he is the brother of Lucifer.

Oumu thought that this was weird, but...something like this is definitely possible to happen.

And how would that be possible? A Hell God's powers.

A Hell God's authority. A Hell God's orders.

In other words, Lucifer is the one who erased every single piece of information about Samael from the history books, and he made the demons not talk about Samael or anything else about him.

This is the only possible way why a figure like Samuel would have his information be wiped out.

After all, it would have not been easy for a common folk or even a demon king to have wiped out information about the brother of a Hell God.

But how did Oumu use this to confirm that the Blood Guardian is indeed the Demon Authority of the Hell God, Lucifer?

It was simple. Oumu thought that the reason why Lucifer would go through the trouble to erase his brother's track in the history books is either Samael has died unexpectedly and Lucifer is extremely sad about it, or...Lucifer and Samael had a falling out and Lucifer killed him himself.

Now, Oumu didn't really know if his guess was on the spot, but...it was pretty obvious to anyone who would have studied the past of Lucifer.

It would be obvious that...Lucifer wouldn't like to hear the name of Samuel.

And now, since the Blood Guardian did react just like how Oumu would have expected him to act, it was now clear to Oumu that Lucifer is indeed Lucifer.

Well, there's no way that Lucifer wouldn't be Lucifer.

Anyway, this does not mean that Oumu is fine now or anything of the sort.

If anything, he is in a more dangerous position than ever.

After all, the Blood Guardian is out for his blood!

That was why after Oumu confirmed that Lucifer is Lucifer, he quickly thought of how he would be able to solve this situation.

Since the Blood Guardian was talkative about everything, Oumu got an idea of how he would be able to solve this situation.

If the Blood Guardian got angry for the sake of Lucifer, then...Oumu should just tell the Blood Guardian to calm down...for the sake of Lucifer.

And now that he got a plan, Oumu then spoke right away,

"W-wait!" Oumu said while looking down on the floor and raised his hands up as a sign of surrender.

However, Oumu was a fast-thinker. He knew that the Blood Guardian wouldn't stop just because he raised his hands up as a sign of surrender.

And that was why Oumu continued to speak, "If you continue to move around, then our master's body wouldn't be able to survive!"

"And if that happens, it would be your fault that the great Lucifer would die!"

Oumu shouted out loud for everyone to hear...though, they are the only demons in this place.

However, it was enough. As soon as Oumu finished shouting out that last word, the pressure around him and the bloodlust that he felt crawling up to his skin disappeared almost immediately.

"Master would die? What are you talking about?" The Blood Guardian immediately asked Oumu about what he was talking about.

Naturally, the Blood Guardian became interested in this topic as it concerns Lucifer's life.

And the Blood Guardian is exactly the one who is responsible for Lucifer's life in this situation.

The reason why he was even created is to make sure that Lucifer wouldn't die at all.

If the Blood Guardian wouldn't pay attention to what Oumu just said, then he would have failed his duty and become a laughing-stock among Lucifer's servants.

Well, that's not the reason why the Blood Guardian stopped moving. It was because he was sincerely concerned about Lucifer's life.

And since things finally calmed down for a little bit, Oumu looked up and tried to look if he could move now.

And he was able to find out that he indeed could move. And now that he knows that he could move, he then began to slowly stand up, but his hands were still up in the air.

This is to make sure that the Blood Guardian wouldn't get the wrong idea and wouldn't just attack Oumu out of nowhere.josei

Oumu was a guy who was pretty meticulous about details like these.

And since it was concerning his life as well, he had doubled the effort to make sure that he wouldn't just mess up or anything of the sort.

And now, Oumu was finally standing as well.

Oumu then began to speak while looking at the Blood Guardian.

"Don't you find it strange? The fact that you were suddenly woken up when you are literally the guy who could be considered to be the last line of defense of the Hell God, Lucifer?"

"What's more, in a situation where there is no one who could possibly hurt the Hell God, Lucifer?"

Oumu said.

And what Oumu said was...reasonable. It was indeed strange for the Blood Guardian that he was suddenly woken up in a situation like this where there is no immediate danger to Lucifer.

That was the first thought that came to his mind when he first woke up, and now that Oumu spoke of it, he indeed found it strange.

"There are no other Hell Gods in here or even Heaven Gods. In other words, there are no beings who could possibly have hurt my master, is that what you are trying to say?"

The Blood Guardian said those words while looking at Oumu with a conflicted look on his face.

Why? It was because he could understand where this was about to go.

The Blood Guardian is aware of Lucifer's body condition ever since he woke up since his function is literally to repair Lucifer's body back to full health.

However, the Blood Guardian didn't think that it would be that bad so he wasn't really worried about it.

But he did know that he wouldn't be able to get Lucifer back to his body's prime.

That was why...now that Oumu talked about it, it suddenly hit a nail in the Blood Guardian's head.

Of course, since the Blood Guardian was understanding what Oumu wanted to talk about, it was easier for Oumu to continue talking.

"That's right. And still, you have been woken up. This is because of the master's body. I saw it myself. He unleashed his wrath once, and afterward, he just vomited blood."

"I was so panicked that I didn't even know what to do! And since I am quite new to his service, I also didn't know about you until you showed up!"

"Anyway, what I wanted to say is...Lucifer's body is in a terrible condition where even moving a little bit would cost him his life."

Oumu said those words with as much emotion as possible to make it seem like what he said was believable.

Why? It was because he said some lies in there. Well, it was only natural that Oumu would want to lie to secure his safety in this situation.

And it seems that it did work.

However, there is something off about Oumu's story, and that is the fact that he did not take into account the Blood Guardian's ability.

"I have been awake for a couple of minutes now. And since it has been a couple of minutes, my master's body should have started regenerating itself faster than ever."

"In other words, he would be able to move and nothing would happen to his life, no?"

The Blood Guardian said, and what he said was the truth.

As long as the Blood Guardian is awake, Lucifer's body would be able to focus on regeneration.

And that is something that could be considered to be amazing, and now that the Blood Guardian is awake, that is exactly what Lucifer's body is doing.

But...there is something that the Blood Guardian failed to understand.

And that is the severity of Lucifer's condition.

"That's right. However, even though the master is a Hell God, a powerful being, all it took for him to summon you is just one or two vomit of blood."

"This means that his body...is in a worse condition than ever, and your healing...might not even work."

Oumu said those words.
