Facing Lucifer's completely overwhelming power and presence, for the first time in his life David truly felt afraid of someone.
The more he looked into those blood-red eyes, the more David felt the person standing in front of him was not human at all.
"D… devil…"
He muttered uncontrollably. His body also instinctively stepped back step by step until he hit the wall, yet he still kept trying to move back.
Even though Scarlet was lying flat on the bed, she still turned her head to watch. Seeing that terrified look and David's muttering made her frown, suspicious of Lucifer's identity.
Earlier she had also felt there was something very strange about Lucifer, not like a normal person. She didn't expect David to now directly call Lucifer 'devil'.
"Hey kid, wanna be my Slave No. 2? I see your fire is pretty convenient. I am the savior Lucifer. Just follow me and your flame will burn away all the evil in this world."
Lucifer declared boldly and arrogantly. As if right now he was archangel Lucifer, not demon king Lucifer.
[What are you doing? Why do you go around saying you're the savior?]
The system really couldn't understand what the hell was going on in Lucifer's head. Was it reasonable for a demon king to keep yelling that he was the savior?
"If I don't say I'm the savior, who's gonna know? I don't want to be some unknown hero. If I'm gonna be the savior, I gotta be a savior famous throughout the world."
[Fine, I give up. Do whatever you want. As long as the end result is the dark tower getting erased, that's fine.]
He was talking to the system, but these weird words fell on David's and Scarlet's ears like the evil whispers of a demon.
"You shameless bastard, what makes you qualified to be the savior? I will never accept that."
David was too scared to speak, but Scarlet sure as hell wouldn't shut up. Lucifer acting all arrogant like this pissed her off.
"Quiet, Slave No. 1. Talk crap and you'll get punished, y'know."
Lucifer doesn't need to explain to a slave why he does things. Just directly punish when they talk crap. Punish like that and for sure Scarlet will at least shut up temporarily.
Sure enough, just as he thought. Scarlet buried her face in the pillow and covered her ears, pretending she didn't hear or see anything.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet."
As he spoke, Lucifer slowly walked step by step toward David. Clearly Lucifer wasn't using any special ability, but the closer he got, the more David felt pressure like a mountain.
Who is David? A rich kid. A male target many people admire. Of course he wouldn't give in that easily.
"Hmph, never. You can kill me but you can't humiliate me!"
He used all his strength to shout. But right after shouting, his legs started shaking from fear that Lucifer would smack his soul right out of his body.
"Who said I'm humiliating you? If you don't wanna do it, then fine."
Suddenly Lucifer spoke in a way that sounded incredibly humane, making both David and Scarlet stunned by this strange phenomenon.
"You… you mean it?"
David stammered a bit. He even thought that because he was so scared, he was hallucinating. The situation was so good he had to suspect there was some trick behind it.
"Of course I mean it. I'm the righteous savior of humanity, remember? How could I ever force someone to be my slave?"
Lucifer gently closed his eyes and smiled. For some reason, his demeanor became this elegant all of a sudden.
"Righteous, my ass!"
Even Scarlet, who was pretending to be deaf, couldn't hold back and screamed out a curse. Were all the 'depraved' things he did to her really righteous? If so, then ninety-nine percent of humanity must be super righteous.
"See that. My Slave No. 1 is too insolent and disobedient. I don't have a slave No. 2, so I'm stuck tormenting her all alone."
Lucifer pretended to sigh and shake his head in disappointment, but in his eyes was still the cunning of an evil demon.
"David! You f*cking bastard came here to cause trouble?"
No matter how messed up her relationship with Lucifer was, at least before David showed up, she wasn't getting spanked anymore. And great, now she's going to get spanked again.
After a short time of contact, it was enough for her to understand a little about Lucifer. Aside from spanking her, he didn't pull any perverted shit because that damn twenty-year-old kid actually saw her as a kid.
"I'll do it, I'll do it. But you absolutely cannot hurt her. If you do, I won't let you off."
Even though David was stubborn, in the end he was still subdued by the despicable and cunning nature of demon king Lucifer.
"Of course. You think I'm so free that I'd hurt my own slaves? I need you guys to help me with some boring stuff, not to give me more work."
Wasting so much of his game time already had him a bit annoyed. Good thing the reward he just got from the draw wasn't bad, so it's acceptable.
Talking to these 'kids' who don't get it really tired him out. Gotta chug another energy drink to keep his spirits up.
David was stunned by this weird action of Lucifer's. Pulling something out of thin air? Science? Oh well, creating fire with bare hands isn't scientific either.
"Now get lost. Go prepare some essential stuff, especially food, because the world's about to have a big problem… Yeah, just scavenge food nearby. Just go into other apartments and take all the essentials for me. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility, don't worry."
Based on the appearance of superpower users among zombies, Lucifer guessed that soon the situation would get more complicated, so he couldn't let his slave No. 2 wander off and die somewhere.
