14 Sacred Demonic Purification

"You! Traitor!"

Razevan had approached the chimera and was looking at it with eyes full of contempt, ridicule and disgust. It seemed that he could not bear to look at such a grotesque being for one more second.

On the other hand, Sirzechs remembered the smiles of the children in the choir.

Listening to him, and seeing that he considered the devils below him as mere vermin, Sirzechs made a decision. He took a step forward, and a giant aura began to emanate from his body. At the same time, the earth began to tremble.

Sirzechs invoked his aura of "Destruction", and his body began to shine more and more in crimson.

"I wish all devils to live in peace in the Underworld. Not only for the nobles, but also for the residents, and even the animals. May they await the future with a smile! For all those to whom you did not want to grant this simple life!"

The thick fog of poison that covered the surrounding area was being removed by the giant aura of Sirzechs' "Destruction". The power of the "Destruction" was thrown to its fullest extent. And when it exploded, a giant humanoid concentration of the "Destruction" aura floated: it is a "Destruction" beast.

"I will use this power to rectify the path the Underworld is taking."

Witnessing the true form of Sirzechs, with his giant aura generating from his body, the chimera began to tremble.

"Impossible! What is this ridiculous aura and form? Is this the form of the power of 'Destruction'?"

But even as it trembled, the chimera began to lash numerous powerful auras from her eyes along with poisonous attacks, but these were all neutralized before they could even touch the aura of "destruction".

Sirzechs turned to see Razevan throwing his own "purifying" aura. Unlike Sirzechs' violent aura of "destruction", Razevan's was more gentle.

A silver aura covered the body of Lucifer's grandson. The silvery colour was pure, and devoid of imperfections. A faint gold could be seen mixed in harmony with the silver colour. This seemed to be energy completely unmixed with the demonic energy, but one which lived with it.

"How?!" Beelzebub was alarmed that Razevan could so easily neutralize his power.

"If Sirzechs is the epitome of 'destruction', I am the epitome of demonic energy. There is no devil alive who has purer demon energy than I do, not even my father or grandfather. That's why you, a being who has corrupted his own demonic energy, have nothing to do with me."

Razevan Lucifer, a devil who was artificially born using an ovum from a goddess and the semen of a Lucifer, was a unique existence in this world. Technically, he should be a demigod, but he could not be considered so because no goddess had been impregnated by another species to create a demigod.

This was something that Rizevim, the person who had conducted the experiment known as Razevan, did not know. The egg that should have been impregnated by Rizevim's semen had rejected each and every one of Rizevim's spermatozoids, and instead had absorbed the pure demonic power found in them.

As such, Razevan is not a "son" of Rizevim Livan Lucifer, but is a mass of pure demonic energy that has formed a devil's body around a divine nucleus. This mass of pure demonic energy had taken on an appearance very similar to that of the original Lucifer because the origin of this demonic energy came from a Lucifer in the first place, though later on, he shed all his impurities to create the being that is now known as Razevan Lucifer.

Sirzechs had shown his true form to only a few, among them his friends Serafall, Ajuka and Falbium. In fact, he was only able to generate this ability within a remote area within an alternate dimension that Ajuka had created.

Razevan, for his part, had never shown this power to anyone before. He had never had the need to do so.

The aura that Razevan was displaying at this time was not inferior to the Sirzechs, and even exceeded it by a whisker. The difference was so minimal, that Sirzechs could not tell who was more powerful at this point.

"Don't bother, I want to kill him myself."

Sirzechs made the orbs of destruction he had created to kill the chimera disappear. When he looked in Razevan's direction, he was surprised to see that Razevan had disappeared and was already in front of the chimera.

Only a few meters separated Lucifer's descendant from the chimera.

"I had thought of using my "spear" to eliminate you, but even that won't be necessary. Your body is so much contaminated, so I just have to purify you."

Razevan placed a hand on the body of the chimera, and its aura began to take on a glowing sheen.

Without any noise, or any sign, the body of the beast began to disintegrate. No cry of pain or any complaint, the beast seemed to be paralyzed.

"The divine demonic purification."

This was Razevan's hidden skill.

The wings, the legs, the torso, all parts of the chimera's body were being spread by the shimmering silver aura. The aura of "Purification" finally came to the fore.

"You... What are you...?" And with those final words, the chimera disappeared from the face of the earth.

The enhanced "Purification" aura eliminated even the poison, preventing the earth from suffering further contamination.

When the fog cleared, Razevan made eye contact with Grayfia, who was watching the battle from the surface.

It was the first time she had witnessed the true form of Razevan.

Razevan returned to his usual young adult form, smiled at Grayfia and said, "It's over. Let's go back."

They left behind a still dazed Sirzechs Gremory.

"It's time to end this charade," Razevan muttered.

If Razevan was neutral before, that was over from the moment one of Maou's descendants crossed the line. The war had to end, even if he had to end it himself.

*-----------------*

YEARS LATER, THE EVENTS OF THE CHIMERA FLY INCIDENT WERE NEVER CLARIFIED, EVEN AFTER THE WAR. NO DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND RELATING TO THE ARMY OF THE MAOU'S FAMILIES.

*-----------------*

The news that Razevan had defeated the chimera had reached both sides. The battle in Old Valafar's domain continued after that, and once Sirzechs and Serafall had eliminated Damaidus Zereikel Asmodeus, the battle was finally over.

The army of Lucifuge, which supported the army of Asmodeus led by Grayfia, was withdrawn by the orders of Razevan Lucifer himself.

After the order to retreat the army, Razevan was summoned to the base of the Lucifuge army. The head of the House of Lucifuge lay in bed inside the medical camp reserved for generals. Unable to recover from the poison he inhaled from the chimera, he wanted one last meeting.

He summoned his daughter Grayfia and Razevan.

Grayfia held her father's fleeting hands in tears.

"Father..."

The head of House Lucifuge spoke to Razevan, with an almost muffled voice: "Well Razevan... I have a couple of last favours to ask of you."

The head of House Lucifuge didn't even use honorifics on Razevan. The look was no longer the usual strict one, but a much more familiar and affectionate one.

"Yes, whatever you wish."

Razevan was going to respect the dying man's wishes, as long as it was not an unreasonable demand.

"The war will never change in our favour. But after all this is over, you can tear down the House of Lucifuge."

Razevan was surprised by the sudden statement, he really didn't expect this.

As Razevan struggled to find the right words, the head of House Lucifuge said decisively, "Euclid will bring terror to the Underworld. He is my son, and I can clearly see that. If he inherits the House... no, as long as the House of Lucifuge exists, Euclid will eventually release his inner anger. Which is why... Lucifuge is better off destroyed." His eyes narrowed, and his expression became pitiful.

"My compassion as a father will not allow me to wish such a cruel fate on my own son, but... one more thing. Take care of Grayfia. She loves you. She always loved to be with you for all these years. I've never seen my daughter so happy before. So, please... take care of her."

"Yes. I promise I will."

Though surprised by the man's words, Razevan promised without hesitation.

Apparently relieved to hear Razevan's words, the head of House Lucifuge gave a satisfied expression and closed his eyes silently. "Well, I guess it's time..."

"Father!"

Rubbing his daughter's cheek as she cried, he said, "Grayfia ... Lucifuge will always be with Lucifer. I would tell you that you must consider your own happiness from now on, but I suppose it lies next to the family we have always served." Then, suddenly his hand slipped down.

"Oh... Lord Lucifer..." These were the last moments of one of the first devils, who would be the last head of the House of Lucifuge.

Having defeated the army of Leviathan, Asmodeus and Lucifuge, the royal army lost its power to counterattack the Resistance army and could no longer prevent the invasion of the capital.
