Chapter-40:Inside the enemy's compound

3rd POV

"Our broker says that Lucifer got a large safe house near the lava pit in the underworld. He got no solid information other than that " Kenta told them.

" Can we trust him, Father?" Michael asked him with suspicion.

" What else we can do other than that? He got his own reasons for wanting Lucifer dead. I have used my lie detector against him and he avoided spouting any lies. " Kenta told him.

" Either he is hiding something from us or he is being strangely cooperative," Kenta told them.

" I don't think it's wise to trust brokers, their kind is just money grabbers, Father " Raphel warned Kenta.

" What are we up against " Uriel asked him.

" The safehouse is like a fortress. one way in and one way out....unless we count flying. They have placed the anti- teleportation barriers all around the place. So teleportation is out of the idea. " Kenta told them.

" The devils are smarter than seem. I have expected them to be more narcissistic and prideful " Raphel told them.

" Devils need not to follow that logic. They can plan as unorthodox as they want...The devils have only one goal in mind...World domination.....the precise term is that the devils like to own something. " Kenta told them.

" They like to have more territories they can have as much as they can. They don't have any limit to what their hunger for power will lead them to do anything, that can lead them to their peril. " Kenta told them.

" Lucifer on the other hand operates in a unique fashion compared to what devils are supposed to be " Kenta elaborated.

"That man is loyal to no faction, race, or a belief. He has a very simple way of living life. That is to take things from others....by force. He doesn't care about devil's future if he achieves his goal in the long run. He is self-destructive, making him an unpredictable enemy " Kenta finished.

"That took so long, father. Sorry if it feels offensive. But how do we know about him?" Gabriel replied while bowing her head.

" Celio's Intel combined with our spy's information....to be fair I don't quite consider Celio's Intel as facts....but we have to proceed now before Lucifer makes his move " Kenta declared to them.

"I have decided to test the broker's skills and loyalty while we raid the safehouse... " Kenta told them.

Celio Kurosuke POV

We have arrived at his safehouse, landed out safely, and dispatched the two guards in the gate silently using our knives without making any sound.

"Keep up or I will leave you behind," Kenta told me.

I guess, he doesn't trust me yet, even after I have done this all for him. I am used to being untrustworthy but I strangely couldn't help but feel some connection to him, I wonder what is it.

I have to admit, I have never felt this soothing when I have worked with Lucifer. I guess it has something to do with Kenta's divine charm.

"Get down " Kenta ordered me.

"Get caught in those lights, and we are done before we have started anything here " Kenta ordered me.

It's a wonder why he is so paranoid when his power is on another level. I mean he can blast the whole safe house without any thought.

I guess he is really cautious about 'The corrupter'. Or he wants to surprise Lucifer.

He is very serious about his plans and methods, so failures are not an option to him. That must be it.

It seems like he took the stealth option to surprise the enemies, which means that he prefers to attack with his mind rather than brute strength, that's for sure.

We have taken a good position and moved slowly while moving in our stealth equipment which produces less noise. And the usage of the noise breaker spell doesn't allow noise to flow out from our area of contact.

"This way, now " Kenta commanded me to follow him.

"When we are down there, you move when I move. Do as I do. Understand? " He told me.

I guess this is a way of testing my loyalty. This mission is not at all a risk for him so he decided to take me with him.

We have moved closer inside the safe house...The entire place is swarmed by thousands of ultimate devils which.....are nothing but fodder for Kenta.

"Hold" Kenta suddenly whispered to me.

"Only kill them, when you can avoid the attention of the others, " He told me.

I guess I will leave them for now. I want to stay as low as I can, to preserve my power when I need it.

"Wait! " Kenta suddenly halted.

"We will plant explosives all over the place...to cover when we escape. " He told me.

"We will burn down the place if we need to, " Kenta told me while giving me some explosives to plant.

What? Now he has decided to blow up the place. I guess this is after our cover has blown..... But he is really unpredictable in his plans. Now I understood that this mission is merely a test of my skills and loyalty nothing more than that.

"Take him out quietly without alerting the other guard " He commanded me.

I have quickly grabbed him in the back while covering his mouth and slit his throat and moved him inside a box and sealed the box with black magic.

"The hallway is clear go," Kenta told them while moving inside.

No compliment for the kill. I guess he is harder to please or he expected me to be this capable.

We have moved inside the building while staying out of the sight of the devils outside.

"We are good. Move inside " He told me while observing the surroundings.

"They have got guards outside the main hall...Both sides, here and here " He pointed out.

"We will have to use the devil's blood, " Kenta told me.

Kenta held a dead devil and dragged it down to the scanner and opened the door while the scanner scanned the devil's DNA. I guess this is a really old trick.

We have reached inside the power room. I know what he is trying to do next.

"Night vision on..... I will take care of the lights " Kenta told me and he disabled all the electricity inside

Shooting the bow in the dark...Huh? I like it.

"Ready? " He signaled me and disabled the lights.

"Weapon's free," I told him and fired my bow to shoot the devils in their private parts. Huhu...

"Sweep through this area fast " Kenta ordered me while killing all the devils using his light arrows...

As usual, he is trying to make this attack look like a fallen angel's attack...While he killed hundreds of guards using them.

I guess he is trying to frame them....even now.

I really doubt Lucifer would buy it...But I would really like to kill Lucifer before he could react in time.

"They really don't know how few we are in dark " Kenta told me.

Few?... We are literally two guys inside a whole enemy safe house filled with thousands of guards.

We would be literally mad men, if not for the fact we can handle them with our power.

"They are using flames," Kenta said warning me.

Oh, bugger? I guess they would not be this quick to use flames.....We should have finished them quickly.

"We should have killed them quick...But no time to worry...Finish them using our old methods. " Kenta told me.

I quickly threw all knives coated with holy magic at those devils instantly killing them by hitting them in their sweet spots. Kenta on the other hand launched a Barrage of Light spears towards the devils performing a combo, killing all the 160 guards inside the room.

After killing them we have reached the weak spot of the Safehouse...AKA...the part that is left unfinished in the construction of the safehouse.

"We have ten minutes until they find their dead " Kenta told me.

"This bridge is the only other way they can come from here.....Plant some explosives in the column " He orders me while handing out some explosives to me.

I have planted the explosives carefully trying not to apply too much force on them.

"The whole thing looks like it is about to collapse....so take it slow," He told me.

We have moved towards where the interrogation room is at.

"Hold on! " Kenta suddenly stopped me.

"Change of plans, " He told me.

"The Interrogation Room is just above us, " He told me.

"Looks like we don't have to make our way in walking there... " Kenta said while applying some explosives to it.

"The thunder will hide the sound of the blast...Wait for my signal " Kenta told me.

I eagerly waited for his signal while holding the detonator in my hand. I have to time the blast with the sound of thunder.

"Now " He commanded me.

*Bam* *Thunder*

Looks like it synchronized very well.

Time to meet lucifer above...We have to climb our way in.
