Lucifer disappeared from the place where Rouge and Raya Pazier was located, and he went where Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu were staying.
Naturally, because Nocturnal Phantom was a summon of Lucifer, he is able to feel where he is so it was easy to go to where he was located.
Well, not that Lucifer needed something like that to locate Nocturna Phantom and Oumu. He just needed to use his senses and he would be able to locate them right away.
Anyway, Lucifer is now standing right in front of Oumu and Nocturnal Phantom.
However, there was something weird in this current situation.
Why? It was because...Nocturnal Phantom, who was supposed to be the stronger one, was lying on the ground while Oumu was standing on the ground, looking down on Nocturnal Phantom.
What's more, there were no signs of battle or anything of the sort, so Lucifer knew that this was not the result of their battle.
However, that made the situation all the weirder. Why? It was because Nocturnal Phantom knew that the reason why he was with Oumu was because Lucifer personally ordered it so.
And since Lucifer is the one who ordered it, Nocturnal Phantom would do his best to make sure that Oumu would not even be able to take a step away from him.
Even though Lucifer knew that Nocturnal Phantom's body is literally a dark fog and would be able to confine Oumu here with just his body, it was still weird as he knew that Nocturnal Phantom would have his morale so high that he would have an entire army's worth of energy.
After all, it was Lucifer! The one and only Lord of Nocturnal Phantom!
Lucifer also knew Nocturnal Phantom very well, which is why he found this situation weird.
Of course, Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu have not noticed Lucifer yet.
After all, if they noticed him already, then Nocturnal Phantom would not be lying on the ground and Oumu would not look down on Nocturnal Phantom.
However, Lucifer didn't plan for it to stay that way, which is why...he stepped on the ground hard, making a loud sound.
"What are you two doing, huh?" Lucifer said after stepping on the ground hard.
Of course, when he said those words, Nocturnal Phantom and Oumu were finally able to notice him, and their reaction was...fast and superb.
Why? It was because Nocturnal Phantom got up as fast as he could, but that was not all that he did as he also proceeded to kneel on the floor right after getting up.
Oumu, on the other hand, didn't know what to do. However, when he saw Nocturnal Phantom kneel on the ground, his instincts just kicked in, and...he kneeled on the ground and copied what Nocturnal Phantom did.
Well, this is because panic and confusion entered his mind. It was so surprising for a demon of Oumu's level to not notice someone so close to him considering that he also has superb senses that can detect anyone below or equal to his strength.
That was why it shocked his instincts and he just ended up copying what Nocturnal Phantom did.
"Hoh? Seems like someone has understood that they are now just my subordinate." Lucifer said even though he clearly knows what happened with Oumu.
Well, it would be better if Lucifer can shove it down Oumu's throat the fact that he is now just a servant of Lucifer.
Although Lucifer did plan for Oumu to become a loose arrow that would shake the whole Hidden World in the future, that didn't mean he would want Oumu to betray him now.
That was why it would be better for Lucifer if Oumu understands that he is just a servant now.
Anyway, because of this, Oumu...didn't stand up or do anything at all. He just answered Lucifer with a bow and just continued kneeling.
However, because of the peculiarity of the previous situation where Nocturnal Phantom was lying on the ground and Oumu looking down on him, Lucifer couldn't help but not let go of the matter.
"Anyway, what were you guys doing? Why was Nocturnal lying on the ground?" Lucifer said, but he didn't ask any one in particular.
Well, this is because he would allow either of them to answer him. After all, both of them knew what was going on.
However, even though Lucifer personally asked about what was happening, Nocturnal Phantom didn't answer him at all.
In fact, Nocturnal Phantom's body seems to be shaking. Even though he was only a dark fog, his body was shaking and Lucifer could see it.
But Lucifer knew that Nocturnal Phantom's body was not shaking due to fear or anything of the sort.
Nocturnal Phantom is not like Oumu, Rouge, or Raya Pazier who could be considered to be a discardable pawn.
He is indispensable and he is someone who could be considered to be one of the core members of Lucifer's army.
There is no way that Lucifer would treat Nocturnal Phantom like trash or anything of the sort.
Nocturnal Phantom knows this very well, which is why he is not shaking because of fear.
However, it is still the truth that Nocturnal Phantom's body is shaking and it seems that he is also hesitating to tell Lucifer about what happened.
'Nocturnal is hesitating...what the hell happened here? This is the first time I saw him hesitate.' Lucifer thought as he turned his head eyes over to Oumu.
Since Nocturnal Phantom was hesitating to talk about it, then there's no helping it.
Lucifer would ask Oumu to find out about what happened, but when he did look at Oumu, Lucifer found something quite amusing.
And that was the fact that Oumu was also hesitating.
However, his body was not shaking, but Lucifer could feel the mood in the air and the fact that he was hesitating.
Nocturnal Phantom, a loyal servant of Lucifer, and Oumu, someone who knows the power gap between him and Lucifer, are hesitating to talk about what just happened.
This situation...became amusing for Lucifer all of a sudden.
However, it was only natural that they would hesitate to talk about what happened.
Why? It was because, for Nocturnal Phantom, what happened earlier is really embarrassing and a shameful thing to talk about.
There is absolutely no way that Nocturnal Phantom would be able to talk about what just happened with anyone, much less his Lord, Lucifer.
He wouldn't want to have his Lord the embarrassing and shameful thing that just happened to him.
However, just what happened that Nocturnal Phantom just can't talk about it?
Well, it was really simple. Nocturnal Phantom has been beaten by Oumu.
Of course, not in strength, but...in knowledge.
However, that's not really all it took to defeat Nocturnal Phantom or anything of the sort.
The reason why Nocturnal Phantom considers it to be shameful and embarrassing is because their topic was...about Lucifer.
During their exchange, Oumu has proven himself to be the victor when it comes to knowledge regarding Lucifer!
He beat Nocturnal Phantom, who could be considered to be a loyal servant of Lucifer, and has been with him ever since he was still a Hell God when it comes to knowledge about Lucifer!
It was only natural that Nocturnal Phantom wouldn't want his Lord to hear of what just happened as he knew that Lucifer would just be disappointed in him.
Well, Lucifer wouldn't really disappointed in Nocturnal Phantom as Lucifer doesn't really care about something like that.
However, even though it was shameful and embarrassing for Nocturnal Phantom, it is definitely not shameful for Oumu.
In fact, he should be proud! He was able to defeat Nocturnal Phantom when it comes to knowledge about Lucifer!
That's an amazing thing to accomplish, but...he was still hesitating.
It was weird, but there's a reason for that.
It is because...he knew so much about Lucifer that he was even able to beat Nocturnal Phantom when it comes to knowledge about Lucifer.
And because he was able to defeat Nocturnal Phantom, it became a reason for Oumu to doubt it.
He doubted that Lucifer is really Lucifer.
Well, it was only natural that he would doubt it. Nocturnal Phantom seems to be a very loyal subordinate of Lucifer, and yet he was able to defeat him when it comes to Lucifer.
If one thinks about it, there is no helping in this situation.
And because he was doubting it, Oumu didn't exactly know how and what he would talk about Lucifer.
Since Oumu now seriously thinks that Lucifer just lied to him, if Oumu confronts Lucifer about this, then Lucifer might get mad and he might just get killed all of a sudden.
That is the reason why Oumu was hesitating.
However, Lucifer didn't really know, which is why he was baffled and amused by this situation.
Two demons that have very different relations with Lucifer are hesitating to talk to him.
"Hmmm...let me guess...though, I don't really have the time for this..." Lucifer murmured.
