Even though he didn't know all of her abilities, just one glance was enough for Lucifer to understand that she had a very high recovery speed. The way she stood straight up with zero pain in her butt was the most convincing proof.
"Well, well… you're being way too arrogant. Those who dare act more arrogant than me in front of me don't get a good ending."
Lucifer is the arrogant demon king, the most arrogant being in both heaven and hell. Even if his normal behavior doesn't really look like it, once it flares up, he's without a doubt the most arrogant one.
Immediately he appeared behind her and pinned her down on the bed. Because her recovery ability was really good now, he didn't hesitate to give her another one hundred and eighty slaps on the butt.
"Ow, that hurts! Sob, sob… You damn jerk, you only know how to bully me."
Scarlet tearfully cried and raised a ruckus as if she were truly innocent. Maybe she's like Lucifer, the type of person who alters their own memories to create the scenes they most want to see.
"Recovering fast doesn't mean you don't feel pain. The faster you recover, the happier I am, you know. Ha ha ha…"
The demon's gentle and mischievous smile made Scarlet shiver all over. She was way too wrong to think that just by awakening a strong class, she could fight back against him.
Suddenly having great power made her think the gap between them wasn't that big anymore. But the truth is, Lucifer had never really used his strength seriously against her.
"Hey, why does that phoenix keep flying above my head like that? It can't spit fire or does it have no way to attack?"
Only then did Lucifer stop hitting her and shift his gaze to the blazing red phoenix flying right above his head.
The flames it gave off seemed to be controllable. Otherwise, the house would've burned down long ago. And there was no smoke, so the fire alarm system didn't go off either.
"Hmph, who said it can't? But can it beat you? If it wins, that's great. But if it doesn't, wouldn't I just keep getting tortured by you?"
Scarlet sat on the bed hugging a pillow, her gaze occasionally peeking out to look at Lucifer with a sulky expression. The way she acted made it seem like Lucifer was the one bullying her and she did nothing wrong.
"That's true. If we're talking about the offensive power of fire, the fire of slave No. 2 is stronger. So what is your ability anyway? Hopefully it's not something that's all looks but is actually useless."
Not having his authority anymore brought Lucifer both inconvenience and fun. Fun because there were many uncontrollable factors. Inconvenient because he couldn't easily do everything.
If he still had his authority, he wouldn't need to open his mouth to ask her. Whenever he wanted, he could know anything.
"You dare call me useless?"
Suddenly she yelled in his face and fired a gun. The bullet shot through her hand and then embedded into the wall.
Getting shot through hurt more than getting spanked by Lucifer, but at least it didn't make her feel humiliated.
She did a series of unexpected actions that made Lucifer take a few seconds to understand what she was proving.
"Isn't it just strong recovery ability?"
Though Lucifer said it as if he didn't care, he still stared at the hole in the middle of her palm, which was being surrounded by a flame. In just a few seconds, Scarlet's hand was healed as if no bullet had ever pierced it.
"How do you feel? Scared stupid by my recovery ability, huh? I can share the phoenix's recovery ability. Even if my head gets smashed open, as long as I still have mana, I can recover."
Scarlet smirked but couldn't hide the fact that her forehead was now covered in sweat. Clearly, using this self-healing ability consumed quite a lot of her mana.
"Good. From now on, I'll make you a tanker. You and the fire phoenix just charge forward. Slave No. 2 will stand behind and set things on fire, and I'll play games."
Lucifer's eyes lit up as if he'd just found a treasure. What could be better than a slave who always does dangerous work but can't die?
"You… you bastard!"
Scarlet's eyes were practically shooting fire as she glared at Lucifer. Of course he wasn't scared of her at all.
Even though she was furious, she couldn't do anything about it. She had no choice but to dismiss the summon because the fire phoenix's existence would continuously drain her mana.
"The zombie's blood smell is disgusting as hell. I'll borrow your bathroom for now."
Lucifer didn't want to bring this stinking body into his apartment. The zombie corpse that fell in front of the first door already annoyed him a bit, so he wasn't going to bring more trouble home.
Before Scarlet could agree, he'd already walked into the bathroom. She didn't even have time to curse him before she heard the sound of water running for a few seconds and then stopping.
About fifteen seconds later he walked out. Subtracting the time to undress and dress, the time he spent in the water was about two to three seconds.
"What the hell? You call that a shower?"
Looking at Lucifer's still wet head made someone as clean as Scarlet extremely annoyed.
"Follow me. I'll bathe you and then take a bath myself while I'm at it."
She immediately grabbed Lucifer by the collar and dragged him into the bathroom. Lucifer's reaction speed was clearly very fast, but he didn't resist her.
"What are you trying to pull here? Trying to seduce me? If you do that, watch out. Victor might have a heart attack and die early."
He was also curious what she was planning. If it was fun, he wouldn't mind playing along with her.
"Hmph, don't flatter yourself. What do you have that's worth me seducing you? And speaking of my father, I did scare him a bit earlier… Ha ha, first time in my life I've seen him that scared."
