Chapter 31 - After the battle

I stood in front of Sirzechs: "Your fight with the goddess Nyx didn't escape the eyes of the major powers in the world. Even though Great Red intervened, the damage you dealt to that woman caught a lot of attention. Can you tell me why you did it?"

"I'm exercising my right to remain silent…"

"I'll allow you to go on a date with Grayfia," said Sirzechs.

Grayfia's face just turned red and she turned her head away.

"I rescued someone named Ingvild Leviathan—a half-human, half-devil. She was suffering from sleeping sickness. The goddess Nyx found her and had made a deal with the old Maou faction. I saved the girl; she has an important Sacred Gear. Now she's under my protection. She joined my peerage as Rook. Unfortunately, during the rescue, Nyx showed up, and we had to fight."

"Rook? Why a Rook? Someone from the Leviathan bloodline wouldn't suit a Rook."

"Because using the Rook piece will strengthen her physical power and her weak points, and her magic gets boosted too. It was a mutated piece," I said.

Sirzechs put his hand on his chin: "I see… You've really leveled up. You've reached peak-Satan class. From now on, it's going to be very difficult," he said.

"I barely made it out. That fight forced me to evolve," I said.

Sirzechs laughed: "Maybe you should be the new Lucifer? What do you say?"

"Right now, I have no such desire. I'm still doing my job as a lawyer, and my wealth increases every day," I said.

"As I promised—Grayfia, will you go on a date with him?"

The silver-haired girl looked embarrassed: "I'll do it… I'm giving you a chance, Cassien."

"Alright, that's enough for me," I said, winked, and teleported away.

Right now, I have reached Peak-Satan class, but Devil Bringer was causing a strange reaction.

It turned black in color, and the turquoise energy was brighter than ever.

Before, Sirzechs had made me an offer—that offer is valid for 2 years, and I'll do what I have to do.

Moreover, with what I told him, he can understand that something was going on in the Greek pantheon, too.

Maybe he will find Hades' plan soon.

Now, Cleave and Dismantle have improved even more; any Dismantle could be as strong as World Cutting Slash.

Moreover, in the fight with Nyx, I realized how to recreate Judgement Cut again.

But still can't forget the way she looked at me...

That woman developed an obsession with me.

The reason is that she can sense the demon bloodline inside me.

As the primordial goddess of darkness, she decided she should be with me and allowed her sadistic side to awaken.

I called Venelana from my phone: "Hello, Cassien?"

"It's me, Venelana. You haven't shown up for a long time, and I started to worry… Are you okay?"

"I-I'm just… Zeoticus has become even wilder and isn't even trying to talk to me anymore."

I narrowed my eyes and sighed: "How about staying at my house? I promise you'll live well."

"I'll come," said Venelana.

She surprised me, but in our previous conversation, she said she'd think about me a little.

With Millicas not around, she had no one to deal with.

So I ended up causing a mini-scale harem, but I still haven't been with any of the girls.

Right now, the other powers must have noticed me, and they'll want to hit me at my weakest moment.

I adjusted my suit and headed to the Lilith courthouse.

I still had work there.
