78 Meeting in the Lucifaad (1)

He looked straight at me, scrutinizing me from toe to head.

"You look similar to your mother, Rayla, while at the same time, you have many traits from your grandfather Lord Zeldris."

Said Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge after a short time.

"He is expecting you already; come, I will lead you."

I just nodded my head and followed after Lord Lucifuge.

He then led me to a huge, lavishly decorated throne room, where a lone man with silver hair and hazel eyes was sitting on the throne with closed eyes.

I observed the man and felt enormous Demonic Energy from his, truly standing to the Super-Devil Class entity he was. He was the strongest Devil in the Draconic Deus and soon-to-be corpse due to the Great War.

"Lord Grandfather."

I decided to bet on the familial card as I greeted him. He remained unmoved, just he slightly opened his eyes and observed me slightly before nodding his head a little.

"Hmm... you are quite strong, but not enough."

Said Lucifer coldly while looking at me.

"Still better than all descendants of Satan Clans with the exception of Rizevim... but he is way older than you. Here use, this... it should help you to reach Satan-Class faster."

He said as he threw me the crimson-colored crystal. When I caught the crystal, I sensed an enormous amount of Demonic Energy from it; it was around maybe 300 Units to 350 Units of Demonic Energy.

After a closer look, I realized what it was. It was Demonic Energy Crystal, probably of Mid-Grade. These little things were naturally birthed by certain places in the Underworld, where Demonic Energy was extremely dense.

They were especially precious for devils, as devils could absorb energy inside the crystal and advance by leaps and bounds by expanding their Energy Reserves. For example, this crystal would be enough to bring me to the Pinnacle of Ultimate-Class.

Though, I have decided to use it when undergoing evolution to the next Class, as during that time, I could reach mid-tier Satan-Class in one go and become a solid powerhouse in Draconic Deus in a matter of hours.

"Judging from your look, you have found the most suitable usage for this crystal."

Said Lucifer, to which I bowed my head slightly, expressing my gratitude.

"I am most deeply grateful, Lord Grandfather, for this gift."

I said. He wanted me to reach Satan-Class as soon as possible, to have another powerful combatant on his side. As I was walking through the Lucifaad, I heard some rumors that Rizevim already became absolutely uninterested in everything connected to ruling and war.

"Come here and sit down."

Motioned him with his right hand to the chair next to him as I went there and sat.

"So, Zekram told me a lot about you."

He said casually as he looked around the empty throne room.

"From when?"

I asked as I was curious when he told him about my lineage.

"Short time after he found out. Rayla was always my favorite... more than Rizevim. While she was getting stronger slower than Rizevim, at least she had some interest in ruling and governing the Devil Race. I was amazed to find out that she had a descendant, on top of that, with the son of that madman. On the top, you have succeeded in awakening the Devour Clan Trait... very good."

Answered Lucifer.

"So it was you who sent me the Book of Lucifer."

I noted it as a matter of fact, to which Lucifer nodded in agreement.

"Indeed. For me, it was no longer useful, and truth be told, I wanted to see how strong you could become if you awaken Devour, and it didn't disappoint me. In such a short time, you are already higher-ends of the Ultimate-Class, with a good chance to enter Satan-Class within the next two years."

Said Lord Lucifer.

"Devour is really wondrous thing, but after I reach Satan-Class, it would be harder to advance unless I enter places like Sunset Monster Mountain Range that had a high concentration of Monarch Level monsters and creatures, but as you know, my Grandfather Zeldris was torn apart there, by Pinnacle Monarch-Level Monster."

While Devour was good to advance fast in lower ranks, as we are in Draconic Deus, there was a limit to powerhouse numbers. If I was in Astral Boundary, with my financial abilities, I could just buy Cores of Monarch-Level Monsters or other Tier 2 Powerhouses and be done with it.

Here, even if someone obtained something like that, they would never sell it.

"That is understandable... but as you already know, the Great War is approaching; with a bit of luck, there would be many powerhouses on that level that would be killed, so either you kill them yourself or play a scavenger, it doesn't matter, but you will obtain strength you need."

I nodded in agreement.

"Still, you did a good job with proposing bringing other factions to this conflict. Zekram already told me that Pale Blood of Old Yharnam, Olympians, and Werewolves Tribes has agreed to attack Church and annihilate their influence from the face of Draconic Deus, greatly weakening Yahweh and Heaven."

He sounded happy saying that.

"I will be going to Asgard and Takamagahara soon. Additionally, I may convince Celtic Pantheon to take their part and attack the influence of the Church in Britannia and Ireland. If everything goes according to plan, then the influence of Church would be limited to only Central Europe, Italy, and some smaller parts of the world."

I said. Crom Cruach would probably be able to convince God-King of Celtic Pantheon Dagda to make a move. Especially with someone like Goddes of Death Morrigan and God of Light, Lugh would be eager to jump at this opportunity.

It was a unique one; if they let it pass, their religion would be forced out of Britannia and would lose much of their worshippers, causing the strength of their Pantheon to deteriorate, as they are mostly Faith Gods significantly.
