Chapter 258: The Duel (II)
The news of the fight between a human from Heaven faction and the young master of the Lucifuge clan spread across the Underworld like wildfire. The news sparked a new life in Lucifaad city. Devils rushed from other cities to the capital.
Among them were two friends from different clans.
A young man in his early twenties with shoulder-length crimson hair. His bright blue eyes traveled across the devils scrambling into the giant coliseum.
"They made a scene out of a duel. What do you think led to this?"
"Sirzechs, a dispute between devils and angels is quite normal."
The one to answer Sirzechs was an attractive young man of the same age. His slick green hair attracted the same attention as his friend Sirzechs Gremory.
"I can't believe their stupidity. The pillars are almost extinct. The population is less than a quarter of what it was before. When will the kings learn from their mistakes? Ajuka, should we not do something?"
"Keep your voice low," Ajuka said. "Being hot-headed won't help."
He could understand his friend's frustrations. They refined their respective clan's powers enough to stand up to the devil kings or even defeat them. Succeeding in politics required a balance of influence and power. They had almost no influence if someone removed their family names.
"And besides, aren't you here for the Lucifuge girl?"
Ajuka's distraction worked splendidly. Sirzechs scratched his cheeks. "Not here for her… a look wouldn't hurt, I suppose."
"Then, make a move already. You already waited for like five decades."
"I will. I will. We're still young. She also isn't engaged to anyone."
"Look, that woman. Isn't that Grayfia Lucifuge?"
"Huh? Where?"
Sirzechs followed Ajuka's finger to find a couple approaching the coliseum hand in hand. The silver-haired maid stumbled every few steps, her face glowing with a healthy blush. Sirzechs almost couldn't believe his eyes. The woman he met in the Gremory's town hall carried herself with pride, always looking cool-headed. The same woman couldn't move her eyes from the man with dazzling golden eyes as though she was smitten.
"That…" he found himself at a loss of words.
Ajuka's eyes glowed, assessing his power level with the spell he created a while back. A look of surprise flashed on his face.
"He is a... monster in human form."
"What do you mean…" Sirzechs asked, his eyes unmoving from Grayfia.
"He is just like you, or perhaps stronger. The energy inside him looks limitless… Is he one of the God-class beings?"
Ajuka never met any god during his time in the Underworld. If given a chance, he very much wanted to leave and study the more powerful beings.
A myriad of emotions flashed on Sirzechs's face. Ajuka sighed and patted Sirzechs's shoulder. He could guess what Grayfia had done to limp around so much.
"Unless you want to use force, I suggest you forget her."
This was the best advice he could give. After all, he focused more on studying demonic power than his language classes. Playing with words wasn't his specialty.
"...I guess. Can we leave?" Although his voice trembled with every word, Sirzechs squeezed out a smile.
"Sure. Let's have a drink at Siren Flavor."
Ajuka watched the man and Grayfia enter the coliseum under thousands of eyes. He could guess what happened. Euclid must have challenged this man for Grayfia. The devil kings hyped this into a scheme to lower Heaven's status.
He sighed once again and guided his friend through the streets. Sirzechs came here to watch a show but ended up leaving with his heart in pieces.
***
Asahi stopped outside the coliseum and looked back at the two absurdly powerful devils. He hadn't thought that Sirzechs had already fallen for Grayfia this soon. He pitied the man a little for witnessing his crush hanging out with someone else.
From a bystander's perspective, he was the villain for stealing Grayfia from her house and Sirzechs's future.
(And they say devils are the bad guys.)
Asahi chuckled at Klyscha's quote. He couldn't care less about them at this point.
Grayfia also looked toward the duo with a powerful aura. "I vaguely remember meeting them in Gremory territory."
"What will you do if I say that Sirzechs guy has a crush on you?"
Grayfia turned her head. "You shouldn't be asking this after… what we did in that hotel… I simply don't care what others think of me," she whispered as the images of their intimacy flashed in her mind. Her butt tingled as though asking to be dyed a deeper shade of rade by her master.
"Grayfia-chan is getting bolder and sweeter. Now let's kick some devil butt and return."
They entered the coliseum.
***
The devil kings and Lilith stood on the highest balcony with the angels and fallen angels faction under them. Grayfia also stood with Gabriel and Sandalphon, overlooking the massive coliseum.
Asahi and Euclid arrived on the huge squared platform surrounded by multiple layers of barriers. A dozen high-class devils were ready to reinforce the barrier in case of any emergency. Their technology hadn't advanced to the level of creating a section in the dimension gap, like the one used in the future rating games.
Euclid had spent the better part of two hours trimming his hair and choosing the best outfit. A part of him couldn't believe the devil women threw more heated gazes at Asahi than him.
Asahi pulled out his appraisal glasses to scan his foe. Just in case Euclid got some weird powerups from some hidden boss.

His caution was unrequired. Euclid had pretty decent stats. Ignoring magic power, his stats were about seventy percent of Asahi. Well, Asahi could always borrow Diva's powers to overwhelm even the old man.
Asahi yawned. "Come on. Ring the bell. I have a date after this."
Euclid clenched his fists, and numerous silver magic circles bloomed under his feet.
Lucifer raised his hand. "Ready?"
The crowd roared to life, dying to see this match up. They had no idea why these two fought or the stakes. They simply wanted entertainment.
Euclid put on a disgusting smirk. "Yes, My King."
"Then start."
Euclid disappeared. The vibrations behind Asahi triggered his instincts. He whirled around and caught Euclid's glowing fist, which was about to smash his face.
"Teleportation?" Asahi asked, putting pressure on Euclid's hand.
Euclid tried to pull back, but the force got stronger and stronger. Asahi's grin also widened. Euclid felt his bones creaking under the pressure.
'He's overpowering me with brute strength?'
Devils were born with superhuman strength. Even a low-class could demolish walls, much less high-class devils who could enhance their physique with demonic power and demolish towns.
He clasped Asahi's arm wrist with his free hand.
'What is it? Why does it feel like steel?'
He pumped his arms with demonic power and squeezed. The painful cry he expected never came.
Asahi freed his hand and instead grabbed his collar. He raised his hand and slapped Euclid.
A jet of blood sputtered from Euclid's mouth along with four precious teeth.
The slap echoed through the dead silent coliseum. Everyone instinctively covered their faces.
"A former young master gave a nice face-slapping to a Young Master Euclid. Sounds like a good headline."
"B-Bhaitt—"
Asahi swung his hand and smacked Euclid's cheek with the back of his hand, knocking another tooth out of his collection.
"This is for troubling your sister."
*Slap!*
"This is for ogling my woman."
*Slap!*
"For thinking I brainwashed my lovely maid."
*Slap!*
"For wasting my time."
One slap after another, Euclid's face juggled left and right in a rhythm. The crowd hissed with each slap. Azazel predicted Euclid would get his ass kicked by Asahi. However, a devil close to Ultimate-class receiving a beating like this… weren't Ultimate-class supposed to destroy towns on their own. It put Asahi on the same level as the Satans. This display of strength and arrogance from Asahi silenced the usually chatty governor. He now understood why Biblical God flaunted this man as 'no human.' No human ever possessed this degree of power.
'What is his race?'
"Sir Azazel…" The devil woman wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.
"Meet me after this meeting."
With a bright smile, the devil snuggled to his side. Azazel gently rubbed her ass. Devil or not, this supple butt was worth spanking.
Biblical God floated a massive smile on his face. Slapping the bad guys into submission—this was the flair he wanted from his successor.
"Stop!" Lucifer roared on top of his lungs.
