Chapter 496: Demon King Belphegor.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Mykel brought everyone into the Belphegor Tower and they were surprised when he decided to join. They all went up to the hundredth floor to enter the hundred-first floor. When they came for the first time to the hundredth floor to fight Beldathiel, they were surprised when they saw thousands of bodies scattered around the castle.

They were glad that all of them were already dead, but they didn’t know that those clones were as lazy as Beldathiel. Even if they were alive, they wouldn’t attack them and would only try to defend themselves until they were too lazy to fight. It was like in the original story.

When they met Beldathiel on the hundredth floor, Beldathiel didn’t resist or fight them. She let Jeanne kill her and stabbed her in the heart because she didn’t want to waste everyone’s time, but more importantly because she was too lazy to fight.

“So, is there a reason why you tag along with us?” Aurea asked Mykel who walked next to her in the far back.

“A request from a friend,” Mykel answered and looked at how spacious the castle was. Unlike the other castles, Beldathiel’s castle only had one floor but the widest. “You’ll understand when you see it,” Mykel continued and then all of them entered the portal.

As soon as they entered the hundred-first floor, they were surprised that the domain of Demon King Belphegor was totally different from the others. The city looked alive rather than gloomy and eerie. The demons were living so peacefully and didn’t bother by their presence at all.

“This isn’t something that I would expect,” Sven said as he loosened up his grip on his scythe. “This isn’t a trap, right?” Sven looked at the demons lazing on the streets and talking to each other.

“They have no reason to fight. Rather, they were told to not do anything,” Mykel answered as he walked to the front and summoned Lucifer and Bhatmelec.

“Don’t tell me it’s the same as when we were facing Beldathiel?” Rozan looked at Bhatmelec for the first time and he fell in love with her graciousness.

“Something like that, and he’s waiting for us inside,” Mykel answered and looked at the simple palace similar to the one in the Empyrean.

Bhatmelec looked at the demons and remembered those faces because they weren’t in the war. The scenery was the same when she came to visit Belphegor to ask for Lucifer’s whereabouts. She had just realized that none of the demons paid attention to Lucifer at all as if he was nothing in their eyes.

“It was so easy for them to serve a new ruler and forget the previous one. Aren’t you a bit saddened by it?” Bhatmelec glanced at Lucifer.

“It’s quite the opposite. I’m glad I created beings that are loyal to my words. I’m the one who told them to serve a new king, and they took my words seriously,” Lucifer answered and kept his eyes focused on the palace.

“Once this is over, are you planning to create a new world? You can get your life back,” Bhatmelec asked.

Jeanne glanced at Bhatmelec and wondered what they were talking about.

“I’m thinking about it. I wonder if I can be on the good side time,” Lucifer smiled and chuckled a bit. “Why? Are you interested in my craftsmanship?” Lucifer asked and glanced at Bhatmelec.

“I still haven’t decided,” Bhatmelec answered and glanced at Jeanne who had been eavesdropping on their conversation. “Are you interested in joining us, sister? You have the power to rule all over us the Gods after all,” Bhatmelec smiled.

Jeanne was startled when she was being questioned.

“No, I’m just going to follow Mykel and I don’t have any plan on becoming a ruler or something similar. I don’t think I can fit in with you or the other Gods with the power to control mortals,” Jeanne answered.

“You want to follow Mykel? I don’t think that would be possible,” Bhatmelec said as she looked at Jeanne with pity.

Jeanne furrowed her eyebrows and wondered what Bhatmelec meant by that. Before she could ask, Lucifer cleared his throat and gave a stern look at Bhatmelec. She was so confused, but when she looked at Bhatmelec, she looked a bit stiff by the way she walked.

“What do you mean by that?” Jeanne asked.

“We are here,” Mykel stopped and stared at the giant door in front of him.

The door slowly opened itself and the inside was like a normal palace with so many things decorated on the inside. Chandeliers, paintings, tables, mirrors, and red carpets covered the marble floor.

“Demon King Belphegor is waiting for you in his chamber,” A demoness with long black hair in a black gown with black feather wings greeted them as soon as they entered. “Please follow me, but only Lucifer and Mykel. The rest can stay here and wait,” She continued as she looked at Jeanne and the others without showing any fear.

Jeanne and the others looked at the demoness and thought that they had seen her face somewhere.

Mykel and Lucifer followed the demoness up the stairs while the others were sent to another room.

“How long has it been since the last time we met, Anathiel?” Lucifer asked.

“Five thousand years,” Anathiel answered.

“Don’t you want to see your sister? I know for sure Beldathiel misses you even though she never said it,” Mykel asked and looked at Anathiel who walked in front of her.

“If times allow me to see her, I will use that chance to see her,” Anathiel answered with a gentle smile on her face.

“Then as soon as this is over. I’ll bring you to Earth. At least there will be someone who can wake her up,” Mykel pointed out as he followed Anathiel into the hallway.

“If you allow me, then I’ll take the opportunity,” Anathiel chuckled softly as she nodded her head in agreement.

Anathiel was created a thousand years after Beldathiel was created by Belphegor and Lucifer. It took Belphegor a long time to finally be able to create his own creation with the power that he accumulated. Although she looked similar to Beldathiel, she was a lot weaker than Beldathiel.

Belphegor created her and decided to use her as someone who could rule his domain. The reason why was that he was too lazy because of his [Sloth] skill, and Beldathiel also had that, but not Anathiel. She was a normal demoness with a lack of powers, but she was as smart and cunning as Belphegor since she had been always standing by his side when he conquered the world.

Anathiel was fond of Beldathiel because she always looked up to her like a big sister. Unfortunately, with how busy she was and how lazy Beldathiel was, they only met twice in their whole lives, but they spoke with each other telepathically sometimes.

“Father is waiting for you,” Anathiel pointed at the big doors next to her.

Mykel walked to the side and let Lucifer open the door himself.

“Requesting a friend to kill him is a bit too much, Belphegor,” Lucifer said as he walked into the chamber and looked at Belphegor standing in the middle of the room.

“My King,” Belphegor went down to his knee and lowered his head to Lucifer.

“Of all the Demon Kings that I thought would have no problem serving Luciel is you, but turns out you’re the only ones that still think of me as your King, Belphegor,” Luciel stood right in front of Belphegor and looked down at him.

“I was solemnly created to serve only you as my King. Although my King told me to serve Luciel, my heart is still loyal to you, my King,” Belphegor answered. “With that being said, please kill me with my last loyalty to you, my King. Let me die and be reborn with a new loyalty to my new King,” Belphegor explained with his head still lowered.

“I’m glad that I created you. You just showed me loyalty that will be the proudest moment in my eternal life,” Lucifer stabbed his chest and pulled out his sword. “I accept your request, my friend. Thank you for your utmost loyalty,” Lucifer beheaded Belphegor in a blink of an eye. He swung his sword and then he stabbed Belphegor in the heart from behind.
