This also came later, that one is also kinda on me. Next ones should be more regular.
Chapter 12
"Lucifero's annoyance. Severe annoyance"
If Lucifero said this day was just easy and fulfilling, he'd be lying. Oh how much he'd be lying. Because right now he sees his moronic contractor almost dead on the ground in human world, beaten by a fucking kid with some terrible Devil and their own fucking target and now is being saved by that Creep of all people that will now judge him and most likely laugh at him with those unfeeling, creepy, devoid of life eyes and NOW of all times Lucifugus called him to take some little shit away from him. FUCK THIS DAY!
"Why did I agree to this? How did he make me agree to this?! Why THE FUCK am I in this situation?! HOW THE FUCK DID I LOSE!?"
A little bit earlier when Lucifero was tad bit more happy
A realm between realms. A place of no practical use outside of being able to better look at the World Above if one has a human host, one advantage was that the time in this place flew about the same as it did in that world. Bad one? You can't do shit outside of helping your host. But Lucifero didn't mind it. Actually, he quite enjoyed it. He liked to have some nice gaming time with his host once he fights, which wasn't very often. Right now he was fighting some fucking twerp.
He was not particularly hard, just very annoying, got himself a special attack with help of one of those humans, but that still was a bit underwhelming. Definitely didn't help that in this first phase he had to figure out that stupid fate altering mechanic and on top of all that his stupid host started blabbering something and stabbed that mirror guy with a sword allowing the twerp to get into 2nd phase. He hated those kinds of scripted events. And the annoying fight continued until...
"Who is that Devil Lucifero?" His host started talking to him in middle of the fight.
It was helpful that time could go a bit slower here, but fucking hell was this distracting. And he asks WHO THE FUCK IS THAT!? How the fuck is he supposed to know that. He is Lucifero. Lucifugus is the one that does paperwork! But no no, he has to be calm... make it sound like you know some shit without knowing it!
"I don't know. If there is a High Ranking Devil in this world right now..." And calling that stupid "power" a High One is quite an insult "...It would be Zagred who left the Underworld. But this doesn't seem to be him"
Ah little Ziggy. How much he didn't miss him. Who would miss such a failure? ... Then again it would be helpful if he was in this world, but that would require success on his part and it's not in Ziggy's nature to succeed. Shit, thinking about that failure and looking at this even worse failure just makes him want to speak up.
"With a stopgap power like erasing spells it's probably a low ranking nobody with paltry magic" And even saying that was generous.
It almost felt like this shit had no magic whatsoever. He almost felt bad about him... Actually no, he didn't. Then he saw he actually lost some hp.
3hp lost
Okay. That was too far. He was ending this shit now. It wasn't before long that the Twerp was down. But it definitely bugged him that he got one hit in. Humiliating. Especially with that he has some weakling Devil with him. But it was finally over.
"Ah, finally that little shit is down. I was almost worried a bit there, even lost some HP. But now I can calm down and wait for-"
In real world
A bulky, black haired man stands menacingly on air. He holds his sword tightly in his hand and it's easy to see that he is beyond angry right now.
"Whoever you are or wherever you come from... You're dead meat." The man stated with incredibly serious tone as he watched his fallen comrades
Boss name: Yami Sukehiro
In Underworld
"Fuuuck.. it's a boss rush." Lucifero was annoyed to say the least "I HATE those Boss rushes. Then again, shouldn't be that bad, only lost like 3 hp or something. All right, let's just use gravity and be done with it..."
In real world
Gravity magic: Presence of Demon King
Yami Sukehiro suddenly falls from the sky and is almost brought to his knees with Lucifero's gravitational power. He holds up surprisingly well considering that he is a human who also holds some smaller human in his free hand, but he will fall, they always fall. But then suddenly a Black Hole hovers over his head and seemingly Presence spell became lost it's effect on him, it became useless.
In Underworld
"... THE FUCK!?" He almost threw his controller into the air at this sudden turn of events "Why!? This spell is supposed to fuck up anything that is not... wait..."
Lucifero quickly checks the manual (His grimoire) and sees: Gravity magic has only 2 significant weaknesses. Dark magic which can create gravitational force to counter your gravity thanks to use of Dark Matter and blah blah blah... He had not time to go into details in this situation so he quickly went to the second weakness. Shadow magic since shadows have no mass so therefore cannot be controlled by gravitational force.
"Medammit, I forgot about this shit, but now I know for certain he is the one we need. Also it doesn't count that Anti-magic thing. I need to update it somehow." Lucifero almost started writing in it when he remembered something "Wait? Didn't I leave my guy on auto attack?"
And as he watched again he sure did. Right now Dante is throwing bunch of rocks at Sukehiro which he proceeds to cut through. When that doesn't work he creates a saber out of one of the rock pieces and charges in and they have short back and forth of sword clashes, where his guy displays some nice use of his teleportation that ends with both of them clashing and talking about flowers or something.
"Hmm." Lucifero put down his manual, but didn't bother for now to take controller up "Maybe I don't need to take control that often. He seems to be doing alright..."
Then Yami Sukehiro gets a weird dome around him and as Dante charges at him he gets slashed incredibly quickly. And then he sees it.
80hp lost.
"WHAT!? Oh nonono... FUCK! I need to take control." He quickly picked up the controller that now of all times decided that it wants to jump around for a moment, but he finally get a grasp of it "Wait? I don't have regeneration on! I forgot to turn it on before the fight. Shit shit shit. Turn it on! TURN IT ON!"
Lucifero smashes the buttons on his controller and behold Dante turns it on. And then reveals their plan for no reason. Did he pressed some dialogue option by accident?
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" Lucifero tried to stop it by pushing every button he could, didn't work "DO NOT REVEAL IT, NOW HE WILL-"
Yami Sukehiro gets 20% boost to attack and resilience
"...buff..." He was tired now, so tired "But okay. I can win this. Just buff myself to 80% and now... SINGULARITY GO!"
And so the real fight begun that started with Dante throwing Lucifero's signature move, it felt good to watch this attack again after so long, too bad it missed, but the fight just begun and it was really nice to see. Full of black holes being thrown around, terrain usage and Sukehiro trying to cut him again. Nope. Singularity also works as temporary shield dumbass!
"GET CRUSHED BY ROCK!" Lucifero got really excited as he got the opening to use some good old rocks to his advantage
And he did. Sukehiro got nicely buried under tons of rocks, even with all that magic he was still human. But then he got up and blew a hole through Dante. No, not even a hole. He quite literally blew out 90% of his body away.
250 hp lost.
"Are you serious?!" Now he almost smashed his controller, but he hold onto it "2 phases!? Okay so now I'll bring out my 2nd phase!"
Lucifero quickly used his 2nd phase item. Can only be used once a day, but in this case it was worth it. And Dante turned into a muscle bound giant. The loss of some speed and reflexes was of no matter, now he had greater attack power, creation of additional limbs and could create greater weapons to use. And it was going well for a while. Some hits were taken, but regeneration took care of that and retaliation was great from Lucifero's side. The black holes were thrown everywhere, the punches landed beautifully and Sukehiro was losing more and more hp. He was going to win! Finally! No death run is almost complete! But then a dialogue started, Lucifero tried to attack, but it was a fucking cutscene, unskippable one at that. Great. And then that fucking twerp got up. It was a 3rd phase.
Twerp gains +100 hp.
"3rd phase... and now it's a tag team fight..." Lucifero almost fell on his back as he watched this unveil "THIS IS BULLSHIT! The worst part is that this twerp can deal damage I can't regenerate from. FUCK!"
But surprisingly he was doing somehow okay. He could still teleport which helped a lot and damage while underwhelming for such a buff still was good enough to end this battle soon. Then yet another buff for that fucking twerp. Was this some kind of deal? Damn Devil plays dirty, but now 4th and final phase begins. Timer says 50 seconds.
"4th phase huh? At least it seems to be final one." He almost relaxed before he snapped back into reality where he is still fighting. "And what the hell is that timer? End of buff? Oh so I have to survive for 50 seconds. Easy."
It wasn't easy. Now he got hit more. FAR MORE. It was harder to dodge this twerp.
50hp lost
40hp lost
20hp lost
But in return he took one of the twerps swords. Then another one. Timer was running. 5 seconds. Then got hit by that Sukehiro with that damn cannon attack
100hp lost
3 seconds. 90Hp left
"SHITSHITSHIT! Regenerate or get the sword? HP OR SWORD!?" Lucifero's brain right now was going haywire, it was time to choose "SWORD!"
He got the sword, but then out of nowhere the Twerp got 4th one from Sukehiro and... the slash came down.
90hp lost
You are dead
"..."
As Lucifugus sits there for a solid minute he sees that human of his Creepy Brother appear and defeat them for him and take Sukehiro. He took his target and victory.
"..."
Lucifero then in silence returns fully to Underworld and gets to sit again on his living throne. But he can feel it he is not alone. He looks to the left and sees Creep looking at him and just does a thumb up. Lucifero's eye twitch and then in this total silence their Spatial Devil starts ringing "YOU HAVE A CALL! YOU HAVE A CALL!" and as Creep decides to take the call the raging storm in side Lucifero finally takes over...
"...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" The entire being of Lucifero in that very moment screamed out with the force that could shake the entire Underworld.
"Oh boy, something failed again" Lucifugus said as he watched Lucifero screams his lungs out
"(You have NO idea you ass! I'll drink a lot after this.)" Lucifero promised himself "(I hope.)"
"Listen Lucifero, could you please lower the volume and take care of certain unhappy Middle one that annoys me with his problems?" Lucifugus asked as if this is the best fucking moment for it
"WHAT!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? If you haven't noticed I'm BUSY!" Lucifero had none of that bullshit "(YOU INSOLENT PIECE OF SHIT!)"
"Yeah, busy screaming your lungs out at your failures, listen I really need you to get this guy off of me. He wants help with something I can't be bothered to help with and I see that you have a break right now."
"(I fucking hate you!)" He wanted to kill him REALLY bad right now "I swear to Me Lucifugus I will murder you if this will go on any further!"
"Just send Creep here and make him take this guy to you." Then he started to whisper "You may add him and his pet to your throne if you want."
"(Ugh... I DO need some new parts for this throne. My previous raging destroyed some parts of it I believe)" And then he realized that several parts of it started to bleed from their ears. Quite annoying "Okay, I'll meet this guy. Maybe he will amuse me or something. Now please disconnect. I have lots of screaming left."
"Just don't drink too much again moron."
"I swear Lucifugus one of these days you'll regret every single word you-"
Then he noticed the Contact Spatial Devil they had just exploded. Lucifero was so blinded with rage that accidentally made him explode through overcharging.
"Piece of Lowshit! Okay brother. Go, bring this Middle." Lucifero commanded
Creep just nodded and opened the portal and went through it, leaving Lucifero for a while with his thoughts. All of them involved murdering Lucifugus, his moron host and everyone else in Underworld... Actually not that much has changed. And after a short while Creep came back with two small devils beneath him. One was fat Middle with a top hat and a Low Devil who seemed more sentient than usual.
"Thank you for allowing us this audience my King." Fat Devil spoke as he tipped his hat to Lucifero "The problem I come with you may be trivial for one of your-"
"Get on with it!"
"Uh...I... I have a problem with my livestocks! My home is raided more and more by Devils jealous of me, half of my livestocks disappeared few Above months ago as if some idiot was opening a portal and stole them, my fortune of stone horns (currency in Underworld) is getting smaller every day. Please my lord. Help me. Help us. The people I paid to protect us denied me their service and demanded to pay them more, this is injustice being dealt to our kind, we-"
"What is your point?" He failed to see one. There probably wasn't one at all
"I...We... I want my farm to be protected and I think it will be done if you my King are going to punish the Devils that refused to help us. I may not have much at this very moment, but-"
"Done." He had NO time
"Wh..what?"
Then portal opened behind him and through it he saw them. Two Middle Devils. The bosses of the security service that refused to help him. Then Space Lord grabbed both of them through the portal and brought them before Lucifero. Both were rather scrawny looking Devils, one had a mane around his neck and spikes on his hands with straight horns and other was more canine looking Devil, almost like one of those animals from World above, wolf and he had horns in square like shape. But he had no interest in analyzing their looks for too long. What really angered him was their cocky attitudes. They displayed NO fear of him. That's insulting.
"Injustice has been dealt in my realm. Injustice was done to one of my people. The law in our world has been broken and the peace that we fought hard to maintain in these past years has been endangered by your actions. Eternity of servitude is your punishment. (Not like I give a shit, but you lot just mocked my name and displayed no fear of me, that demands punishment)."
"And two Devils before they could protest and say anything were crushed, mangled and twisted, their bodies were turned into mockery of life through Lucifero's gravity and yet were somehow alive and then were smashed and blended into the throne of Lucifero. Eternity of servitude.
"Oh...THANK YOU my lord." Fat Devil fell on his knees "I knew you would do the righteous thing! No less to expect from our King!"
"As for you..." Lucifero pointed at him
"I'm sorry?"
"I noticed the Low Devil at your side." He pointed at the Low Devil who was now sniffing one of the pillars "I assume he is your pet correct?"
"YA HA! I AM!" Low Devil quickly jumped on his feet and got closer to his master.
"WH-! SHUT IT YOU-!" He was prepared to strike him in the head
"Let me ask you... Did you pay the tax for keeping one? I heard Lucifugus wrote a law recently that demanded it." Lucifero asked this poor excuse of a Devil
"But... I couldn't, I had no money... Please my King... I will pay for it when I have the time! Please, just one mon-"
Then the Middle started shaking. He could feel his bones as they were being crushed by horrible pressure all around him. His legs and arms were first to give in as they broke and started tangling all over his body, then came the spine, he could feel it snapping and then the lower part that snapped started going up and started to stab through his mouth, two ribs broke as well and went out of his body through his eye sockets. Middle squirmed, tried to scream, beg, but it was all for naught as his body was twisted and broken. Then somehow lived, by the inch of his life, blind, mute and full of pain was slammed into the throne. Next to the Devils that wronged him.
"Ugh, he was so fucking annoying! I get now why Bitter Luci wanted me to take him. Hmm."
Then Lucifero looked at Low one who looked in awe at him. He started jumping around, laughing and screaming "THANK YOU!" very loudly. Strange display that made Lucifero go for the bottle of liquor under his throne. He opened it and took one gulp and...
"Uwoggghh. SHait.. COME ON!" He was drunk a\up his ass already "I've bbeean dooing it fo HOW lONG?! WHY AM AI STIL lik THIS!?"
Then the Low Devil ran up to him and jumped on his lap.
"(The fyuck?)" He was greatly confused
"CAN I DRINK SOME!?" Pet without an owner asked
"...Ya, sur, whateve...*hic*" Lucifero dropped rather big bottle on top of the small guy and yet he managed to hold it up pretty well
And so the low one drank from the bottle Lucifero gave him... the entire bottle was empty in less than 10 seconds.
"Pfah.. Sorry my King." Low one said as he dropped the bottle on the floor shattering it "Didn't drink in a LONG while!"
"Huh... yu ar... VERY resiliant... *burp*" Lucifero could notice it even in his less... dazed state
"YA HA! Master really liked to drink and gave me a lot of what he couldn't finish..."
"Hmm..." He tried to think for a moment "(WAIT! THAT GIBES ME IDEA!)"
"Say... hmm... Drenkar... How about... *hic* geting some mor? I will give you mor and you shal drenk when I ask you to..." He tried to communicate with him as best as he could
"Oh? YES! THANK YOU MY KING!" He saluted him "Also my name is Drenkar now?"
"Wha...? I... guess?"
"DRENKAR IT IS AT YOUR SERVICE MY LORD!"
"Wha...? What did I just do? *hic* (Hmm. Ah yes... Lucifugus... you... ya ALWAYS were bettar than me at this...at so many things... ALWAYS made fun of me... always... Now I shall show you I CAN drenk now! I CAN! Or ratha... Drenkar can... and now you will have LESS things to make fun of ME!) YES! LUCIFERO IS NOT GOIN TO MADE FUN OFF LUCIFUGUS!" He screamed out, relishing in his petty triumph
"What? Something wrong My King?"
"Wha? NO it's just... Ugh... Too drunk... But... I may tell some about him... That fucking Lucifugus..." Lucifero really wanted to get this shit off his chest, maybe this could get him more sober too.

"You don't know how much I hate you"
Well that was fun to me. It's always fun changing perspective every once in a while. Hope you all enjoyed it who made it this far.
