Hellbents
Chapter 169: Pride

The earthquake is getting worse. The servants flocked to help the invited guests who could not stand from earlier.

Cracks!

Just then, Ava heard a crack under her feet. Land divided.

... Does Eve have an artifact that can fly the masses?

"Why is your expression so bad?" Ava immediately turned to the origin of the unfamiliar voice.

A man stood upright magically, pongah, completely unaffected by the chaotic conditions around them. It was as if he was covered in a magic membrane that made him immune to any intervention at the point where he stood.

Wh who?

Ava did not remember the arrogant face of the invited guest files she had memorized. But before he could activate his observation skill, Ava was preceded.

"You should be honored that Lucifer the Almighty has set foot in this shabby palace of yours."

"Huh? What did he say?"

"Lucifer? Isn't Lucifer the name of an ancient demon?"

Cih, terrific. The people who were late to evacuate and heard the man's words were immediately noisy.

Ever since Ava met a demon named Mammon last month, she should have expected to meet other demons. And since Lucifer has revealed his true identity, pretending to be stupid will not work like yesterday.

"I never remember inviting you at a party-"

Plaque!

Ava gasps at her painful and hot cheeks.

"How dare you speak casually to me." Instantly the atmosphere turned silent. Not only was the royal princess Edodale slapped, the perpetrator also downgraded Eve's status.

"Hey! You were-" Ava still had time to hold back Ellijah who wanted to directly hit the man in front of them. If he alone could not avoid Lucifer's slap even with his sense status exceeding 30, how fast would the demon move?.

Intuitively, Ava realized, if Lucifer did intend to attack them, nothing would be able to stop him.

Name: Lucifer

Race: Devil

Level: 1067

Speed: 198

Power: 293

Agility: 176

Where: 489

Coins: 0

Skills:

obey Me - (VIII)

the Almighty Sword (V)

With such a status window, Ava was grateful her head was not up to drift when it was slapped.

Skill [Obey Me] Lucifer is brightly lit. The aura emanating from the tall body of the man was changed, heavy and oppressive.

"Now, kneel."

With the symphony of "dup" sounds almost in unison, everyone even who had entered the palace hall fell down, their knees as if gripped by gravity. Many groaned in pain, it was only natural to remember their bodies were pulled forcibly to kneel on the ground, Ava herself was sure that her skin was scratched by gravel even though it had been protected by her dress skirt.

He then heard a small laugh not far from his place, the culprit was of course Lucifer. His pale face was shining, comforted.

Moreover, the function of the underworld creatures were it not to entertain him?

"When you wait for the process to finish, prepare a banquet for me."

He's looking for a volunteer waitress.

But no one said.

Everyone is caught between their fears.

The devil!

This is a creature that from generation to generation is used as a scourge of history. The story of their savagery is used as a story of children's sleep senders so as not to be naughty.

A creature that would absolutely power.

Unfortunately Ava's eyes only see one person whose level deserves to be called a ranker, Ellijah.

But Ellijah is a devil contractor. Ava is still not sure what the effect that follows the status, because her fiance (fake) it responds reasonably to the actions of Lucifer earlier. Or, Ellijah would only react to the demons related to her contract?

"You." Lucifer releases Ava from the influence of his skill. "Give me a glass of wine."

Ava had always thought that Eve's social status was advantageous to her, but now a royal princess was only seen as a servant in the presence of a demon, at her own birthday party. What an ironic performance in front of the invited guests.

On the bright side, Ava is free to move, the earthquake has also stopped.

On the downside, if what he presented did not meet Lucifer's standards, he feared the consequences would be great.

But if denied, Ava's life is threatened.

Ignoring everyone's pushy gazes, he dashed as hard as he could into the palace hall, towards the table of dishes arranged in such a way that the wine glasses formed a two-meter-high formation. Ava snatched the first glass she saw, not to forget also with an unopened bottle of wine.

But Ava failed in understanding the original intentions of the devil.

The wine he presented was thrown even though not a single drop had been tasted yet. The bottle he brought broke, the aroma of alcohol and wine was as fragrant as Ava's head to toe which was now purplish red.

Is correct.

Lucifer is not thirsty. He just wanted to humiliate the main star of the party he destroyed.

He was always amused by the game "who is more powerful" than the underworld. Pft, stupid rat. The rat king is still a mouse in his eyes.

As long as Lucifer was in this underworld, he had unceasingly heard various praises for Eve. Especially with the contribution of the rat in overcoming the plague spread by Beelzub.

Cih, suck.

No one played right except him.

But the reaction of the rat daughter was very boring.

Lucifer expects cries, cries of fear, or desperate pleas. The demon continued his actions by pushing Ava's shoulder with half the broken bottle still clasped.

But Ava was silent, her eyes flat, not frowning at all even though her skin was slashed.

Well, Ava herself had given up from the beginning. He is willing to be treated as long as he is safe. Nothing broke, just a little bloody. Impulsivity is defeated by a busy brain.

Soon, Lucifer loses interest in her.

"Curtain, are you a doll or what?"

Ava did not answer, because she knew that people with higher positions did not like if their subordinates spoke up.

"Java!"

Zet zet zet!

Accompanied by a sound similar to electricity, a bluish light shone on them. Lucifer looked up and clucked, "You're lucky." In a moment, he disappeared.

The night wind was blowing too hard, too strong. Ava's body that was moistened by the wine instantly dried up.

"[Cancel: Obey Me]."

Those who had been forced to kneel quietly breathed a sigh of relief as they were freed from the invisible restraints. Now they're limp. Unfortunately, the disaster is not over.

The blue light above them grew brighter, as if something was eroding the night sky. They all witnessed firsthand the process of dimensional fractions, or in another sense gates.

"Run!" The screams woke them up.

The phenomenon of opening a gate is not neat. Which current around is experiencing instability. Maybe that's why the artifact that makes this island drift a little err earlier. In addition, the new gate will suck anything close to it, including people. In other words, the would-be victims of the first conquest gate without any information. The higher the level limit, the greater and more severe the effect of this process.

And the wind that Ava is currently feeling is the same as a hurricane. The steps are heavy, plus the long dress is very troublesome.

"Come on!" Ellijah pulled Ava as hard as she could.

"Gee! Help me!" Dozens of people floated in the air, sucked into the light of the blue box in the still-enlarged black space, looking for prey.

The wind that attracted them grew bigger, already half the invited guests were missing. Ellijah now hugged tightly to the waist of the girl beside him, desperately trying to get away from the gaping gate above the palace.

Honey, their luck's up.

Ava slips, Ellijah's horses are damaged by it.

He cursed inwardly, "A right shoe is useless."

"Don't let go!" His hand was almost crushed by Ellijah.

The couple entered into an alien dimension without any preparation.
