Ch. 87 - The Great War! [24]

"If that's the case, then I'll leave convincing Sirzechs to you. If you can, try to avoid telling him the reason why." Earning a nod from her, I shifted the topic to another person.

"As for Falbium-" Before I could finish my words, Ajuka interrupted me.

"He was sleeping earlier in the meeting so I doubt he knows what Zekram told us to do and besides, considering his lazy personality, I bet he would either be late for the war and overslept it."

Hearing him, I held myself from laughing out loud at such a character.

Just to inform you, that guy is said to be the heir of his clan, inheriting their wealth, resources and immense military strength.

'Well, at least it's better than a ruthless and ambitious one.' I whispered under my breath.

"Now that those two are settled. Let's talk about my plan for the human world." Clearing my throat for preparation in an upcoming long explanation, I continued.

"As you all know, I used to be a human and it would be impossible for me to abandon what I have been since birth just because I turned into another race." Seeing them nod, I said next.

"That's why I planned to make the entire human world inaccessible by those of Supernatural Gods and beings that lives in their own separate dimensions such as devils, Greeks, Norse Gods and many more." After finishing my words, I expected for Serafall to react the most however against my expectations, it was Ajuka instead.

"WHAT?!" Ajuka's eyes widened in surprise as his figure reappeared in front of me.

Did I somehow received Lady Luck's blessing or something? This week, I have been witnessing more and more expressions from Ajuka aside from being aloof.

I should cherish this and keep in as a remembrance in my mind.

Even Serafall was surprised by this, not by my words but from first time seeing Ajuka losing his composure.

In her mind, Ajuka is always the guy that rarely gets interested in anything other than his experiments and even if something did piqued his interest, he would only show a mild expression.

But this time was different, Ajuka broke character right in front of her!

This is big news!

"Alright! Hold on, let me explain it first!" After calming him down, I fixed my attire and added in.

"It's a rune that I invented. Not only it can place a barrier that is invisible but can also detect if someone has an energy that is past the standards of a human, the barrier would automatically repel them without hesitation." Finishing my explanation, Serafall opened her mouth out of fascination.

"Woahh~! Are you serious!?" Serafall reacted normally.

"That sounds near impossible. Or knowing you, then it would be possible." Ajuka muttered to himself, drowning in his own thoughts whether about me achieving something like this or maybe trying to decipher the entire thing in his mind.

"But….wouldn't that mean Evil Pieces would be useless then?" Serafall, with her hidden intelligence, was quick to notice something crucial.

Ajuka nodded his head in agreement.

"I've been waiting for Ajuka to ask that, though kudos to Serafall for asking it first. Anyway, as I was saying, since I've been waiting for it to be asked, then obviously I have a plan for it."

"Call it a policy. You can still recruit humans for your devil groups but it would require strict rules to follow such as in order for a devil to recruit a human, you need a sorcerer as a guide and also to ensure no blackmail or anything that would harm a human will occur." Nodding their heads at my words, I continued.

"Also, there's a limit on how many humans a devil can recruit. In a year, only 2 humans can be recruited by a specific devil." Serafall was quick to agree while Ajuka looked like he was contemplating about the rule, weighing the pros and cons.

"But wouldn't that put the devils in disadvantage?" He asked me. It seems like he was trying to negotiate with me here.

Sorry my broccoli haired friend but even if you're my friend and you saved my life, business is business.

"Ajuka, you also need to understand that it's already an advantage that you have finally solved devil race's population problem so being able to reincarnate other races into your kind is already a huge advantage and besides, I'm only restricting humans here, vampires, werewolves and many others are available for devils to reincarnate without any problem, though you'd still need a sorcerer to come with the devil that wants to recruit." Ajuka nodded his head at my last words.

It's only normal, after all, what if the devil says he wants to recruit a vampire and without a sorcerer's supervision, the devil turns out to have recruited a human instead.

That's a big no-no.

"Actually there's more rules and policies that I created but we have no time to discuss it right now. So take this notebook, it contains all the rules I made and plans to make." Using magic, the notebook in my hand duplicates and handed each to Serafall and Ajuka before warning them.

"Make sure to burn it once you're done. We don't know how much Zekram knows about our hidden plans. So we can't afford to let him know during the great war." Heeding my words, Ajuka was the first one to leave but Serafall stayed for a reason.

"Do you still need something?" I asked her confusedly.

Unsurprisingly, Serafall lunged herself towards me before engulfing me in a hug while burying her face on my chest.

"Sniff. Sniff. I missed you. Can't your fiancee hug you and kiss you?" After she finished asking that, she raised her head and tries to kiss me.

Of course, I wouldn't call myself a man if I dodged it.

However despite it all, the kiss didn't land on my lips, but on my nose.

"…"

"Sera?" I called out to her.

Why is she closing her eyes if she wants to kiss?

Slowly fluttering her eyes open, Serafall blinked several times before becoming beet red.

"Waahh! I missed!" She cried.

It's actually possible to miss when kissing someone?! What kind of curse, debuff and sorcery can cause such thing?

Catching her flailing arms, I swiftly pushed my head towards her and grabbed her lips with mine, locking our lips together.

"Hmpph!?" Serafall's eyes widened in surprise before slowly closing them, taking a good feel on the kiss.

We remained stationary for a few minutes with only our cheeks bulging often as our tongue were having the biggest battle occurring inside.

"FUWAAHH!~! Huff! Huff! Huff!" Serafall quickly lose her strength and her legs wobbled as I stretched my arms to catch her.

"H-How ish esht?" Her eyes turned a bit misty as she asked me while saliva drooled from her soft and wet lips.

"If we weren't in the middle of a war, I would've taken you in right here and right now." I admitted without holding back, causing Serafall to shiver from my words alone.

"T-Then let's do it after the war." Serafall wiped the drool from her mouth and said before raising her pinky at me

"Hm?" I looked down on the raised pinky and threw a confused expression towards her.

"It's a pinky promise." Serafall explained.

'Are you a child?' My eye twitched but still, I sighed and raised my own, interlocking our pinkies.

"I promise." I said with a smile.

"Yaayy!" Her grin widened and hugged me.

Sighing again, we hugged each other and she insisted on staying in for a while.

"It is time." Lucifer growled as he adorned the mystical armor enchanted by the greatest devil runic makers and craftsmans, almost on par with the armor of the gods like Odin.

"This time, we'll win. I have developed my techniques and spells that could kill even the pantheon Gods!" Behind him stood Beelzebub himself, his immense arrogance can be seen plastered on his face as his arrogant words resonated in the large hall.

"Arrogant as ever I see, Beelze, tone it down a bit or else your arrogance will outshine Lucifer's. You know what will happen, right?" Leviathan, another Satan but a female, snorted and made the Lord of Flies gulp his saliva and turned to glare at her.

"No one, not even me can be placed above Lucifer, so stop rattling your mouth and just prepare your pathetic self for the war, I don't want to see you having a hard time dealing with a mere low-rank angel." Beelzebub smirked, pushing her buttons.

"Why you!!" Leviathan growled and tried to swipe her sharp claws towards Beelzebub who simply dodged.

"Nice try." The latter's smirk grew.

"Stop it, you two. You're in the presence of Lucifer, act like a Satan." Suddenly, a pressure emerged from their behind as Asmodeus, came walking in with a cold glare from his face.

Both Leviathan and Beelzebub quickly stopped in their track and sneered before looking away.

"Just because you're stronger than us doesn't mean you're superior." Beelzebub silently muttered to himself.

Before he could continue, the pressure increased and shifted from Leviathan to Beelzebub alone.

Crack!

A long crack appeared on Beelzebub's shoulder guards as his knees wobbled, it was only thanks to his will that he's still capable of standing.

"Don't test my patience, lord of mere insects." Asmodeus glared menacingly at Beelzebub all while Leviathan watched this with interest.

"You get what you deserve." She silently snorted.

"Stop it. All of you." Finally, Lucifer, who has been quietly staring at himself in the mirror for almost an hour turned around to stop them.

"We're heading towards our last battle against God, we need all of our strength just to stand a chance. If any of you fails to meet my expectations, I'll kill you personally." Lucifer's dark purple eyes tightened as he glared at them all, a dark and black light swirling around him like an aura.

"H-Hieck!" Beelzebub bore a fear-stricken face as he tries to back away from the darkish light.

Leviathan and Asmodeus both bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak up.

"Are the 72 clans ready?" Lucifer asked.

"Yes, I already informed them of the plans and they're ready to scatter and cause destruction on the human world." It was Asmodeus who answered.

"Good. Let's go. It'll give us a better chance to win by surprising him with our attack." Lucifer smirked as he laughed arrogantly.

"He won't see us coming."
