One True God

Chapter 38: Fear

When Lucifer finished calculating things for his future moves in this country, he quickly turned to Asgo.

After all, there was nothing to do if Lucifer were to just continue standing here.

He now planned for his future, and now he would have to make sure that the future he planned would come.

And, of course, the next step so that he could get the future that he planned for plete the exam.

That was why Lucifer spoke after calming himself down. After all, he didn't want Asgo to feel the pressure from a demon who used to be a Hell God.

"Asgo."

"You understand what our relationship is now, right?"

Lucifer said to establish dominance between the two of them. He didn't want Asgo to think that they were buddies or friends.

They were nothing like that, and that was why Lucifer spoke once more.

"You are nothing, but my slave."

"Right, from now on, you are my slave."

"If you understand, nod your head."

And right after saying those words, Lucifer leaned over Asgo's head.

Lucifer was so near to Asgo's head right now that it looked like they were bumping heads.

However, that was not what Lucifer did as he brought his lips near Asgo's ear.

And it was with this distance that Lucifer spoke with a voice...so chillingly low that Lucifer's bloodthirst naturally came out!

"If you don't..."

"I'll kill you."

And when Asgo heard that, his body...naturally started shaking. He couldn't help it. After all, things just really went from zero to a hundred.

What's more, Asgo was also feeling fear! No, it was not just fear, but extreme fear!

Even if Lucifer's body has indeed deteriorated and has affected his powers, it was the truth that he was once a Hell God.

And a Hell God is basically the strongest demon who are ruling the Hidden World and hell.

They were demand respect and admiration from every demon living in the world, and they bring forth great fear from every nation whether it may be a nation of angels or demons!

There's no way a demon from a small kingdom like the Zacharath Kingdom would be able to deny Lucifer's natural bloodthirst!

There's no way a demon such as Asgo would be able to stand against Lucifer, the Hell God!

However, even with that kind of fear controlling his body right now, Asgo...didn't know why he was shaking.

That was why he was still confused about all this. After all, Asgo was pretty brave and he was also a little bit powerful than the norm.

That was why it was bizarre for him to experience something like this. And he could only respond as he felt his life being threatened.

And he responded by...nodding his head.

Well, that was what Lucifer asked him to do, and when Lucifer saw that, he quickly got straightened his body.

As long as Asgo now recognizes that he is now Lucifer's slave, everything is fine.

Even if Asgo does betray Lucifer in the future, the important fact is that...he won't betray Lucifer now.

Lucifer knew what kind of fear Asgo was feeling right now. It was the natural fear a demon would have towards a Hell God.

And a natural fear is literally natural. One wouldn't be able to break out of it, and one would obey that fear.

However, if one is strong enough, one would be able to break that fear.

And Lucifer knew that Asgo isn't strong enough to break that kind of fear. That was why he was confident that Asgo wouldn't betray him now.

Well, Lucifer would have to instill fear again and again so that Asgo won't even have any thoughts of betrayal or something like that.

Anyway, when Lucifer got the answer that he wanted, he quickly cut to chase as he spoke once more.

"Where is the exam that I will take?"

"You got the same Common Rank that I got so that should be your exam as well."

"Answer me briefly. Don't waste my time."

Of course, Asgo was able to hear all that. Even though he was still feeling the fear, Asgo knew that he had to answer to keep his life.

If there is one thing that Asgo should be praised for, it should be his instincts for knowing things immediately.

Anyway, Asgo spoke as he turned around.

"I-It's there. S-sir..." Asgo tried to speak respectfully as he didn't want to anger Lucifer, but Lucifer cut him off.

"Don't call me Sir or something like that. Just act like how you acted with me earlier."

"However, don't forget that you are just a slave to me."

It seems that Lucifer didn't like how Asgo tried to speak respectfully to him. It was weird, but there was a reason.

After all, they were technically 'buddies' or something like that.

If Asgo suddenly became respectful to Lucifer, they might get suspected.

That was why Lucifer didn't want Asgo to just give away things with his words.

Of course, Asgo...heard that. He was confused why Lucifer didn't want him to act respectfully, but well.

That was what Lucifer wanted, and that was what Asgo would do.

And that was why Asgo spoke without hesitation.

"It's there...As you've said, we have the same Demonic Origin."

"It seems like we have been sorted out together, and we would be taking the First Academy's exam."

"And the First Academy's exam is right over there."

Asgo said as he pointed the way with his index finger. Of course, what he pointed at was just a hallway or something like that.

There were no doors or something like that, and it was dark.

However, Lucifer could see things through the darkness, and he could also see very far.

And he could see that at the end of the hallway was another door waiting to be opened by Lucifer and Asgo.

And since Asgo himself said that it is the place where they were going to be tested, Lucifer spoke as he started to walk.

"Let's go."

"Follow me."

And it was in this way that Lucifer finally got an underling.
