Lucifer's Descendant System Chapter 255

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

Entering the castle, Noah had a strange feeling. He felt that this place was very dangerous, as if a powerful creature was watching him all the time.

This made Noah even more attentive to the details around him in the castle. Ready to teleport at any time should this creature decide to attack him.

But even after walking for several minutes Noah did not find this creature. In fact, Noah didn't find any creatures in this castle, as if it were an abandoned place.

Curious, Noah continued exploring the place, but still found nothing.

Entering a room that appeared to be the castle's master's bedroom, Noah noticed that something was wrong. Apparently in that place there was a stand for the castle owner to put on his armor. Noah knew that, as he'd also bought one to keep his own armor at home, although Noah's was much more modern and made of prettier materials, whereas this one at the castle was something more rustic.

However, this armor booth was empty.

'If this is empty, maybe it's because the castle owner is using it?' Noah wondered. 'If there is a throne room here, that person could be there. Perhaps this person is the powerful creature that is watching me...'

Noah decided to search this throne room, mainly interested in the armor. If the armor of the ghost knights was already so resistant against magic, maybe that of this nobleman is even more so?

Noah's armor was still Rank D, at this point he thought it might be an opportunity to switch armor.

With no clue as to where the monsters were, Noah continued to wander around the castle, leaving the throne room intact for the time being. His idea was to explore the other rooms to find monsters that hadn't possibly grouped in the throne room yet and eliminate those monsters first.

And this idea was not fruitless.

As he approached the castle kitchen, Noah heard several very rapid thumping noises. Like something is hitting wood too fast.

Since it was the kitchen, Noah already had an idea of what it could be. Then, with an order, Noah commanded the imp who had [Hell's Tunneling] to go inspect the place, since if anything happened he could escape by teleporting.

Unfortunately the place was too tight for the unicorn to walk freely, so Noah had to send him back to hell, leaving just him and the 8 imps there.

The lone imp entered the kitchen and made it back without a problem, but from his expression Noah could deduce that there really were monsters in the kitchen.

Then they would be his prey.

With a command, Noah ordered the imps to follow him as quietly as possible.

Going ahead, Noah realized that there really were three monsters in the room. The three of them seemed to be of the same species, and with advanced intelligence, as they even wore white chef's clothes, although those clothes were quite smeared with blood.

The three monsters were very large, almost reaching the 3 meter high ceiling. What made them stand out were mainly their very fat bodies, which made the clothes look tight on the three of them, and mainly their heads, which were like pigs.

Noah never thought he'd find pigs cooking anything, but from the chef clothes these three monsters had, Noah was sure they were the cooks there, even more so when he saw them using cleavers to cut a few pieces of meat at a speed that even it surprised Noah.

Their agility is much higher than mine...not as high as the Shadow S, but still higher than mine.

I'll have to teleport a lot to deal with them, but these fat bodies will be great fuel for my energy.

With a wave of a finger from Noah, two noises were heard in the small kitchen.

*Bamf* *Bamf*

Noah and the Imp teleported behind two pigs that were focused on cutting up the pieces of meat.

Because Noah's agility was already at almost 30 points, he managed to make a big cut on the head of one of the pigs, but because of the monster's thick layer of fat, Noah's attack wasn't fatal at all. But that was enough.

Feeling the temperature rise too fast in the back because of Noah's teleportation, the pig was very quick to attack the back before even turning around, which because of the pig's high agility, forced Noah to teleport back.

*Bamf*

The imp who had teleported behind the other pig, because he didn't have as many agility points, couldn't even make an attack on that monster, before being split in two by the pig's cleaver that felt the teleportation explosion on his back. .

This made Noah even more aggravated, since that imp was his demon who had the most points in agility, and even then it wasn't even enough to manage a surprise attack on the pig.

Without thinking about anything else, Noah mentally ordered the imps to attack as he revived the imp that had died, before teleporting once more to the pig that was screaming in pain and anger at his head on fire.

Luckily Noah's flames were already consuming the pig, but because of the large layer of fat that monster had, even if the attack had taken place on his head, it would still be at least a minute before the flames could actually burn the bones and the pig's brain.

Knowing that attacking the skin of these monsters would be ineffective, Noah decided to attack the already exposed holes. Both the ears and the eyes, muzzle and mouth.

But seeing the pain their mate was feeling, the other two pigs teamed up with that pig and counterattacked the imps who were coming at them in a suicidal way.

As the pig being burned was giving Noah a large supply of energy, Noah didn't bother to consume mana to revive the imps and order them to attack once more.

At that point it became a battle of resistance, both between the pigs who were enraged by these seemingly never-ending intruders, and both the imps who died and had to run to their deaths again.

But the pigs were feeling increasingly impatient with these little imps, as they felt that the temperature in the kitchen was rising too high.

Looking around, they saw Noah, who wore black metal armor with fire leaking all over the armor. But instead of the fire flying wildly, the fire was readily clustering into 4 small dots around Noah.

As snakes coiled around each other during the winter to warm themselves, Noah's fire leaked through the armor and curled into 4 rapidly growing points.

It was consuming a lot of mana from Noah, as well as a lot of concentration to maintain the ideal shape of these 4 objects. If it weren't for the imps attracting the pigs' attention, Noah wouldn't even have the confidence to make this attack in a head-on battle.

What Noah was doing was 4 swords of fire. He knew how complicated it was to make a fire dagger to use in battle, and the denser the dagger was, the sharper the blade, this was the same principle as the [Fire Claws] he used, the more mana he used it, the sharper the claws would be.

But that came with a catch, as the [Fire Claws] were in contact with Noah's fingers all the time, it was easier to keep the 10 claws working all the time, but as Noah wanted to make 4 long swords of fire The concentration and mana required for this was much greater, to the point that if not for the mana supply from the pigs he had cut and the scratches the imp with [Fire Claws] had made, Noah even would have the confidence to do that skill.

But even if the pigs knew what Noah was doing, and the danger that those 4 flame points that kept growing posed to them, they still couldn't do anything about it, as the imps kept coming to they. Besides, among these little imps, there was one who could even burn them as well as that man with the armor, which despaired the pigs even more.

Then, after 40 seconds, Noah finally managed to finish the swords and had the four flying towards the two pigs he hadn't attacked yet, this was the ideal move for this situation.

With an order, Noah made the 8 imps use whatever strength they had to keep the pigs in the same place, even if they were going to die, they knew their master could revive them again, so it was no problem.

If it was a human listening to these orders, even knowing it would be revived the person would still unconsciously recoil, as they would still feel pain when they died, but the imps didn't care about pain, the only thing they cared about was what the master of them asked for them to do.
