One True God

Chapter 97: Burning Soul

Lucifer asked Rouge about the sixth son's detailed information about how he looks like.

Of course, he meant everything literally that he can use to identify the sixth son when he tries to find him.

Rouge quickly answered Lucifer by telling him what he knows about the sixth son and how he looks like.

It wasn't hard for him to disclose this information since...well, his loyalty has already gone over to Lucifer ever since that nightmare.

And it was also because Rouge was able to meet the sixth son quite a few times before.

No, in fact, he already met everyone in the Warmester Family. If he didn't meet them, he wouldn't be able to identify them for Lucifer when they were searching for them earlier, after all.

That was why it was easy to disclose this information because he knew about how this sixth son looks like.

It didn't take him long to finish telling Lucifer about how the sixth son looks like as Lucifer now knows how the sixth son looks like.

Right now, Lucifer was facing the sky, taking in and sorting all of the information that Rouge just told him.

Well, it wasn't really that much as all that Rouge did was to describe how the sixth son looks like. It wasn't anything complex or anything of the sort.

It was really simple.

However, the reason why Lucifer was looking at the sky was to prepare himself.

Right...Lucifer was preparing himself.

Although what he was about to do seems to be really simple, as he would just find the sixth son based on how he looks, it was actually not.

The act of finding the sixth son in the whole wide Warm City is very hard to do and it would actually be taxing to do so.

If Lucifer would just try to find him with his naked eyes, then it would be impossible to succeed.

Trying to find someone in the whole wide Warm City with one's naked eyes is just ridiculous.

Although Lucifer knew about where the sixth son might go to, they have already gone there, and the results were empty. 

In other words, Lucifer would have to look all over the Warm City just for this sixth son.

And just as it was mentioned, trying to find someone in the whole wide Warm City with his naked eyes would just be impossible.

And that was why Lucifer was preparing himself.

Why? It was because Lucifer would try to find the sixth son through other methods, as obvious as it sounds.

And this other method that Lucifer decided to go through to find the sixth son is...particularly taxing on his body.

Lucifer would need to concentrate his will and focus on his body all at the same time just to be able to start searching for the sixth son.

Right...this method was that cruel. And this method was...

'Demon Eyes.'

Right, it was the Demon Eyes that Lucifer used earlier during his battle with the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House.

Although Lucifer has basically confirmed during that fight that he can force himself to use his powers, it would still be risky to continue forcing himself just to use it.

After all, his body has deteriorated badly and at a much faster rate, and even now, Lucifer could still feel the side effects of having a deteriorated body even though he healed himself.

What's more, if Lucifer's body continues to deteriorate, there might be no going back and Lucifer might just end up becoming a cripple with no ways to heal his body.

That was why it was extremely risky to use the Demon Eyes again. However, Lucifer had to do it.

Right, Lucifer had to force himself to use his powers in this situation even though it wasn't really that badly needed.

Why? It was because...Lucifer wanted to make sure that he would be able to use his powers if he would force himself to do so.

Although he confirmed that he could if he wanted to during the battle with the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House, that was only the first time.

Lucifer wanted to make it a guarantee that he would be able to use his powers by using it again this time.

Although the success of the first time guarantees the success of the second time, Lucifer wanted to make it absolutely sure by using it again this time.

However, just why does Lucifer want to make it a guarantee that he would be able to use his powers if he wanted to?

There were a lot of ways for Lucifer to overpower and kill someone in a backcountry such as the Zacharath Kingdom.

He didn't really have to use his powers, the powers that made Lucifer a Hell God.

Even his basic strength would be enough for Lucifer to reign over a kingdom in this area.

But...Lucifer knew that...it wouldn't be good for him to be complacent about his current strength and condition.

Although his current strength would be enough in a place such as the Zacharath Kingdom, that...was not enough for the whole Hidden world.

There are demons who are strong enough to one-sidedly destroy the Zacharath Kingdom, and Lucifer might get caught up in it.

If that happens and Lucifer became complacent about his current strength, then it would be easy to guess that Lucifer would lose his life then and there.

And that...was the purpose of him forcing himself to use his powers once again in this situation that wasn't really needed for him to do so.

In specific terms, Lucifer wanted to make sure that he would be able to have a trump card against someone who is especially strong enough to win against him in his current condition.

What's more, he would be training himself, too, by doing this occasionally even if this would force his body and deterioration would occur.

Although forcing himself would cause deterioration to happen to his body, Lucifer had to bear this risk.

That was just how dangerous the future was, as the future was literally unknown even to the mighty Lucifer.

And now, after preparing himself for a long time, Lucifer...finally started to begin to open his Demon Eyes.

As he had already opened it earlier, it was now easier to get a grip on how to do it again and things flowed much smoother this time.

And that was the truth as Lucifer could feel his eyes have now changed to the Demon Eyes, the non-existing eyes.

When he felt it, Lucifer finally opened his eyelids and his Demon Eyes were shown to the world.

However, this time, the Demon Eyes was...a little bit different compared to before.

The Demon Eyes, before, was non-existent and it was the only eye sockets that could be seen in the area around his eyes.

The Demon Eyes, now, was...shining a little bit. However, since the Demon Eyes was non-existent in the first place and couldn't be seen by the naked eyes, it only looked like there was a fire burning in Lucifer's two eye-less sockets.

And this version of Lucifer's Demon Eyes was called...

'Burning Soul.' Lucifer thought as he looked down on the Warm City.

Right, this was called the Demon Eyes: Burning Soul.

It was named because it looked like it was burning, and since the Demon Eyes was made with Lucifer's soul, combined together, Burning Soul came to be.

However, the name was not just the things that changed with the Demon Eyes; the use of it also changed completely.

The Demon Eyes from before would be able to kill and disintegrate magic spells in an instant with just a single look.

However, the Demon Eyes now is giving Lucifer...enhanced vision.

No, because the Demon Eyes was made with Lucifer's soul, calling it enhanced vision is an understatement.

The vision that Lucifer was seeing right now...the proper name for it would be...Godly Vision.

And Godly Vision literally means godly.

Lucifer could look at everything all at the same time, and because the Demon Eyes enhances his brain and thinking capacity, he can absorb and manage all kinds of information that enters his vision.

That was why it wasn't that much of a strain...but since Lucifer's body was already fucked up, signs were starting to appear as Lucifer's right eye started to bleed with blood.

'I have to hurry. A fat body and distorted face that looks like a monster, black hair and black eyes...' Lucifer began to recall the information that Rouge told him earlier as he looked at everything.

Of course, Lucifer could see through everything as well. He could see through buildings, clothes, food, anything that could be considered solid.

And Lucifer can turn off this kind of ability if he wishes to focus on something.

If one thinks about it, Lucifer's Demon Eyes was truly one of a kind since it was just...overpowered.

Imagine if Lucifer was in perfect health...he would be unstoppable.

Of course, that would just be in this place where weak demons are everywhere.

If Lucifer came back to the place where he came from, the Hell, then...Lucifer would meet people who can compare with him, the other Hell Gods.

Anyway, it seems that Lucifer finally found the sixth son as he murmured and closed his eyes.

"I found him."
