Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Act normal
'I don't feel anything?' Lucifer thought as he felt nothing at all.
He couldn't feel the injury that Rachel was talking about, and he was sure of that.
He also couldn't feel the healing magic that Rachel was using to heal the so-called injury.
That was why it was weird. There's no way that Lucifer, someone who has his senses to the highest level, wouldn't be able to feel something so measly such as an injury.
He should also be able to feel the healing magic that Rachel was using to heal him.
He should be able to do all those things, but...Lucifer really couldn't feel anything.
It was as if...Lucifer's senses were in a dark place right now that was making him feel nothing.
'Don't tell me...is this connected to why I have a Common Rank for my Demonic Origin?'
Lucifer suspected that this was connected to his Demonic Origin.
After all, his Demonic Origin was just Common Rank now.
And Lucifer was one-hundred percent sure that his Demonic Origin had the highest rank ever.josei
What's more, that highest rank was even unknown to the demonkind.
After all, he was a Hell God, sitting at the top of the hierarchy among demons and angels.
It was obvious that there was something that went wrong that caused him to have a Common Rank Demonic Origin.
And it was also obvious that whatever had caused his Demonic Origin to go down in quality is really bad.
After all, it was affected his Demonic Origin. And a demon's Demonic Origin is literally his potential.
If something could make Lucifer, a Hell's God's potential to go down in quality, it was obvious that it was something very bad.
No, it was something terrible!
That was why Lucifer thought that the reason why he couldn't feel anything was connected to that something terrible.
After all, that was the only thing that could possibly make sense in this situation.
There was just no way that Lucifer wouldn't be able to feel something so basic if there was nothing wrong.
'...looks like my situation is that bad.'
Lucifer thought as he started to regret something now.
He started to regret the fact that...he didn't take his time to thoroughly check his condition.
If he just took a little bit of his time before he went to the Zacharath Kingdom, this situation wouldn't have had happened.
He would have known that something happened to his Demonic Origin, and he would have known that...something was also affecting his senses.
Right, all these bad situations that always put Lucifer at risk could have been prevented if Lucifer just took his time to look at himself more.
However, it was Lucifer himself who stopped those thoughts as he tried to concentrate within himself.
After all, it was...
'Fuck...it's too late for that now.'
Right, it was too late for that now, and he was in this situation.
Lucifer wasn't the type of demon who would wail over the past just because something happened that he didn't like.
Lucifer was the type of demon who would just move on and try to make the future go in the direction that he wanted it to go.
That was why Lucifer didn't give a fuck about it anymore.
Right, he didn't give a fuck about it anymore as he just let Rachel do her work.
However, maybe because Lucifer took his time in thinking about these things, Rachel soon...took her hands off of Lucifer's shoulders.
She then stood up with shaking legs, and it seems that she was really tired.
It was then that she spoke as she wiped the sweat that formed on her forehead.
"Whew. It's done. I finished healing his flesh so he should be back to normal now. But...the bones, I find it hard to heal them right away so he would just have to make do with that as he proceeds to take the exam. Of course, I was able to heal most of them, but...if this guy takes on another strong impact, his bones would just end up being destroyed again."
Rachel said without missing a single beat. It seems that she was really proficient at healing people as she knew exactly what she had done.
Of course, she said that to Asgo who was listening intently.
And when Asgo heard those words, he...quickly nodded his head while wiping his sweat.
It seems that Asgo has gotten scared of what would happen as he was literally sweating buckets right now.
Of course, Rachel was able to see that when she whipped her head.
That was why she had her head tilted with confusion in his mind as she spoke.
She spoke to ask Asgo a question, and that question was, "Why are you sweating? Are you that worried about your friend? Don't worry about him! In fact, you can wake him up now."
Rachel said as she pointed to Lucifer with her right hand.
"R-really? I can wake him up now? Professor Malbath hit him so hard that he didn't even wake up when I started to move his body."
Asgo said with shaking hands, but he tried to hide it by placing his hands behind his back.
Well, it was only obvious why Asgo would start shaking now.
After all, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know who to believe.
What's more, this situation...Lucifer can't just wake up and tell Asgo about what was happening.
That was why...Asgo was feeling nervous as he didn't know which script he should read.
He didn't know what lines to say, and he didn't know what action to play.
However, there was nothing he could do about it as Rachel spoke once more.
"Yeah. You should wake him up now. Besides, Professor Malbath would soon come here to pick us up. And the reason why I'm here is to make sure that your friend would be able to attend the exam as soon as Professor Malbath comes."
Rachel said as she nodded her head gently as she walked towards Asgo.
It seems that she was really confident that she finished healing Lucifer now.
And this confidence...left both men, Asgo and Lucifer, confused as fuck as they didn't know what was going on.
Well, it was just mostly Asgo as Lucifer didn't care about it anymore.
What Lucifer was worried about was...how would they play this out?
There were only two possibilities in this situation, and that was...It was either Rachel was lying to know the truth, or she was speaking the truth.
And in this situation, Lucifer decided to make it simple. After all, Lucifer didn't like to pretend at all.
He just did it because it was something he had to do. That was why Lucifer decided to keep it simple, and just...end his pretending when Asgo wakes him up.
Of course, he would then say that it was due to Rachel's healing abilities.
And to know if Rachel was somehow lying to know the truth, Lucifer would just keep a keen eye on this woman.
After all, there was nothing good that would happen from overthinking this situation.
It was either Lucifer would be found out or Lucifer would win.
That was it.
'Come! Asgo! Wake me up!' Lucifer thought with intense emotions.
After all, the one who holds the key to this situation right now was Asgo.
The one guy who didn't know what was happening was holding the key.
It was ironic, but that was just the case for this situation.
Right, it was Asgo who holds the answers for Lucifer's questions right now.
And it seems that Asgo finally made up his mind when he heard what Rachel said.
After all, the healer said that he should wake Lucifer up now. It was only natural that he should do as he was told.
Although he was confused, there was something Asgo was using to keep his calm and what to base his decisions around.
And that was...act normal.
'I just have to act normal, right...Lucis?'
Right, it was what Lucifer said to him before, and that was to act normal.
And what is normal in this situation is that...he should wake up Lucifer.
And that was exactly what Asgo planned to do as he walked towards Lucifer.
He just trusted Lucifer that everything would be fine as long as he was to act normal.
He just trusted Lucifer.
It was crazy if you think about how Asgo was scared and now he was trusting Lucifer.
Well, that was just how Asgo was as a demon.
Anyway, it didn't take long for Asgo to reach Lucifer as he walked with confidence.
He didn't look like he was confused or hesitating. Asgo's acting skills are definitely praiseworthy.
It was then that Asgo bent his knees as he began to shake Lucifer's body with his hands.
"Hey! Hey! Lucis! Hey!" Asgo shouted out loud.
However, no matter how strong he was shaking Lucifer's body, Lucifer...was not waking up.
Of course, Asgo just kept shaking Lucifer's body as he shouted once more.
"Hey! Wake up! It's time for the exam now! You are already healed by this beautiful babe! You won't be able to fool me!"
