253 CH. 257: The Duel (I)

*Ahem* Give me stones!

Asahi kept his eyes trained on the siscon idiot requesting a 'man to man' duel? He glanced over the excited devil kings. They fully anticipated Euclid beating someone from Heaven's side to regain some respect for their faction. Well, except for the black-haired emitting immeasurable killing intent. Lucifer outright wanted to kill him.

"Coward scum, do you agree?" Euclid mocked Asahi, grinning confidently. "I'll have my sister free from your spell."

"Alright. I agree, but."

Asahi paused and turned to Grayfia. The maid felt her chest tighten as he approached and pecked her lips. The small kiss raised a massive uproar in the room. Asahi wrapped his hand around Grayfia. She had no choice but to settle in his embrace, giving her more than enough room to hide her blushing face.

"Grayfia is my woman. Why do I have to duel you for her?"

"Euclid, it's enough. We don't have to do this," Grayfia spoke, only to receive another kiss on her head.

Asahi pinched her butt. She buried her face in his chest and stifled the sensual moan creeping up her chest. The rounds of spanking had turned her butt a little too sensitive. Now, Asahi's ordinary touch made her soul shiver with pleasure.

"Let me deal with your idiotic brother. I promise not to kill him."

Hearing Asahi casually talking about dealing with him, Euclid swore to cut off Asahi's arm touching his sister's private place. She had lost all the dignity and calmness he admired her for. "Sister, don't worry. I'll save you from him."

"Save my ass. Tell me. What do I have to gain from this fight?"

Euclid snorted. "Everyone knows my sister will never choose a weak partner. Refusing the challenge will prove that you used vile spells to control my sister. Lord Lucifuge, do you disagree?"

Lord Lucifuge found himself between a rock and a hard place. He knew Euclid's feelings for Grayfia for a long time, but couldn't find it in him to have this awkward conversation. Euclid sought his mother in Grayfia, yet, harbored more than passionate feelings for her. Right now, he was in the wrong for questioning Grayfia's man.

This fight needed to happen for the devil kings' amusement. Lord Lucifuge buried his pride, or whatever was left of it after Lucifer's insults, and shook his head.

"Grayfia, ask Asahi Marikawa… to accept, or we will have to separate you two by force."

"Aren't you all bullying me here?" Asahi said with a smirk. "Fine. Whatever. You want a fight, I'll give you a damn fight. But on one condition."

Euclid chuckled, suppressing the wide smile threatening to show up. He had to act like a gentleman in front of his sister. "Speak up."

"I want to fight that guy if I win," Asahi pointed to the black-haired devil still glaring through narrowed eyes. "Yes, you. You want a piece of me, no?"

This wasn't Orario where he had to hide his power to level up peacefully. This was the Underworld, the realm he chose to conquer. He had no problem bringing out his full power to crush someone. How could he rule if he chickened out from a fight? Defeating Lucifer will make him a threat worth wasting their brain power for. It'd be more fun to conquer a world when the bad guys used their brains to oppose him.

"How dare you insult the king!"

"This war shouldn't be stopped. These angels deserve to be trampled under our boots."

"Yes!"

The vassals of devil kings spoke up one after another, fueling the fire between the factions. They wanted nothing more than this war to continue, so the Pillars could go extinct, leaving them with their wealth.

"Hmm." Lucifer raised a brow at Asahi's confident smile. Did the man know he challenged the original devil king? Every devil in the Underworld spawned from his wife, Lilith's womb, and he was one to impregnate her.

They all came to life to fulfill his ambition of dominating the world.

He was their progenitor. The only devil who deserved the seat of King.

How could he show his face to anyone after rejecting a challenge from a random man Biblical God brought with him. Only the old man's power terrified him, nothing else entered his eyes.

"Agreed. You shall defeat Euclid Lucifuge before facing me."

"Good," Asahi said and stroked Grayfia's hair. She squirmed a little every time he touched her back. "Come at me, kid. I promise I won't kill you for your retarded behavior."

"Taunting me while using my sister as a shield shows the kind of man you are."

"Huh? Using my wife as a shield? Dude, she just smells so nice. It's hard to separate from her."

Grayfia bit his chest. "Stop saying weird things."

"I said the truth. You're too cuddly."

Euclid clenched his fists. The veins on his forehead bulged, almost exploding. He faced Lucifer. "Lord Lucifer, can I have the honor of defeating this evil human in the coliseum?"

Euclid didn't just want to defeat Asahi. He wanted a whole crowd to witness the punishment and humiliation Asahi will suffer for tainting his sister.

"You may," Lucifer agreed. The coliseum was mostly used for show battles between the 72 Pillars. He looked at Biblical God. "Do you agree with this contest?"

God smiled. "Why not? It's rare to see such pure entertainment these days."

Gabriel's eyes remained glued to Grayfia receiving endless headpats in Asahi's embrace. She was still lost on why Asahi joined his lips with Grayfia and why was Grayfia's face so red? Was Asahi's wife ill? The innocent Seraph's mind wandered deep towards the acts that could cause an angel to fall.

Sandalphon, on the other hand, couldn't hear a thing. Her throbbing heart almost turned her deaf. Asahi's challenge to the Devil King Lucifer was daring. Extremely arrogant, but he had the power to back it up. Instead of worrying, she held her breath for the upcoming fight. Asahi beat her when he hadn't trained with God. She couldn't tell how much this man had grown after the daily training with her father. He could easily beat the hypocrite devil close to Ultimate-class, and might be able to take down the Devil King Lucifer.

'I want to fight him again.'

She joined her hands together and wished. The halo on her head glowed as though expressing her sincere desire.

"You guys are," Azazel pointed at the devil kings. "Full of air. Don't you see Asahi is innocent? That maid isn't under any spell."

"Shut up, Governor Azazel," Lilith snorted, her black eyes glaring at him. "It's a conflict inside the Lucifuge Clan. It would be better if you stay away."

Azazel glanced at Biblical God, who had a calm smile. The old man didn't look a bit worried about Asahi challenging Lucifer. Azazel was assured of Asahi's victory over the young devil, but fighting against Lucifer was another ballgame… despite his utter arrogant behavior, Lucifer possessed the power to rule the Underworld. He couldn't say the same about Asahi without witnessing his fight.

"What did I come to?" he muttered. "It was a cease-fire meeting for god's sake."

"Don't curse me in my presence," Biblical God said.

"The duel shall start in two hours," Lilith said, smirking as she toyed with her pitch-black hair.

It was the perfect opportunity to show the Underworld that the Devil Kings still reigned supreme after losing most forces in the Great War.

"Asahi…" Grayfia whispered and looked up. She had no doubts over Asahi's victory, but the aftermath of the battle frightened her. No matter the result her clan was going to be ostracized because of her.

Asahi smiled. "Do you regret our relationship now?"

"How could I? I'm worried about my father. He will be punished whether you win or lose."

"Nobody will touch my father-in-law. I promise."

Out of all of his women, only Grayfia and Maya had fathers (Saya's cunt father wasn't counted). He refused to let anyone harm them.

"Maybe I should declare war after beating the crap out of Lucifer."

An evil smirk rose on his face. He wasn't going to kill Lucifer. Lucifer was the embodiment of pride. What if some random human crushed that very pride? It was far more satisfying to let him live humiliated than straight up killing him. Besides, he had no desire to become Emperor so soon, so he'll let Lucifer enjoy the position.

Grayfia shuddered, not from fear. But from the wet sensation between her legs. This overprotective side of Asahi tickled Grayfia's heart. She felt loved more than she ever did in her family.

Asahi sniffed the air before narrowing his eyes on the maid. She once again buried her face in his chest.

"Shall we do something fun for the next two hours?"

"O-Okay."
