Chapter 18: Labyrinth!! New Ability!?
(Lucifer POV)
It's been a few weeks since I left Tempest and arrived at Ingracia.
I tried out multiple foods they have here while observing their culture.
While I wasn't that impressed, it was still good but lately, I've been getting looks from women and men alike.
Both genders seemed to look at me with lust in their eyes, I guess with this type of body I can be mistaken for a female.
I didn't really care though.
Why should I let people I don't know affect me?
But can I blame them, I am beautiful.
I smirk confidently.
"Yo!"
Looking to my left, I see a young man with sandy hair, and a normal physique waving at me.
"Kaval? What's up?" I question, looking at the adventurer who visited us when we were only a village.
"Nothin, I just saw you turning in your monster and wanted to say hello." Kaval responded.
Oh yeah, currently I was in the adventurer's guild.
For the past few weeks, I've been working as an adventurer to get money and to become infamous.
I mean who wouldn't want a little fame?
But I turned in so many powerful monsters these past few weeks like dragons, that I've been dubbed the "Strongest Adventurer" in a span of a few weeks.
I mean I'm probably the strongest in the guild, well I'm not too sure about Yuuki.
His power level currently was never really stated but he did clash with Rimuru shortly.
Well, whatever.
Currently, I was turning in an aggressive mindless fire dragon to the front desk, so they can evaluate how much it's worth.
Usually, I wouldn't kill monsters but certain mindless monsters need to be put down because they're giving us a bad name.
"Amazing! To think you could bring back a fire dragon without a scratch!" Kaval exclaimed after seeing the dragon's head that was in my hand, attracting all the other adventurer's attention in the hall.
"Wow! Isn't Lucifer so cool!?"
"I heard he is royalty from some other nation!"
"Meh, I could do the same thing."
"I know right."
"Oh shut up! You guys are just jealous, he's that beautiful!"
"Lucifer!"
"Lucifer!"
"Lucifer"
Chattering could be heard from all over the hall and even some chants for my deeds.
Some would be jealous while others would fanboy over me.
I could care less, I'm long used to haters because of my past life as a famous businessman.
I gave my dragon head to the front desk and waited for a few minutes.
Once they finished authenticating my dragon, they gave me a hand-sized pouch full of money and added some merits to my achievements on the adventurer's board.
They had a system where they put up the top adventurer's achievements in order to inspire the weaker ones and also to keep a record.
One of my other achievements in these past weeks was beating an archdemon which was rare since there aren't many demons found in Ingracia.
It was a little tough but I beat the archdemon relatively easily, I still needed to put in a little effort though.
Getting my pouch, I started to walk toward the exit.
"Tell Eren and Gido bye for me." I tell Kaval.
I hadn't seen them because they were on a mission for a few weeks and Kaval couldn't go because he said he had some pressing matters to do.
"Wait your leav-"
Before Kaval could finish his sentence, I disappeared from his sight.
I appeared inside the forest, right outside Ingracia.
I start to walk around, looking for something.
(A Few Hours Later)
Finally, stopping in front of a large double door over 20 meters tall.
Ramiris's Labyrinth, I came here because of a little speculation of mine and because she was one of my favorite characters.
Weird right?
Why like an annoying little fairy like Ramiris?
When I used to watch the show, I found her amusing and impressive.
I respected her achievements while others would make fun of her childish antics.
I mean in reality, Ramiris is one of the smartest characters in the whole verse in terms of scientific knowledge.
The Labyrinth is something much more complicated than just rocks put together.
But enough of that.
I pushed the gigantic door, at first it seemed a little heavy but I increased the strength I was putting in it and opened it easily.
"What an interesting place." I murmured under my breath because of the density of Magicules in the atmosphere.
"We'veee, come too far, to give up, who we are,
Soo, let's raise the barr, and our cupss, to the starss,
She's up all night to the sunnn, I'm up all night to get someee,
I'm up all night to get lucky,
We're up all night to the sunn!"
I started to sing a random song that came to mind, I think it was by Pharrell Williams, called "Get Lucky".
It's a pretty old song but who cares.
While I was walking and singing, I started to dance.
"Just beat it!-"
"Enoughhh!!"
As soon as I was about to moonwalk to Michael Jackson's song, a little yellow dot flew up to my face yelling.
Once I got a closer look, it was just the right person I was looking for, the second oldest Demon Lord, Ramiris, The Fairy Queen.
"Ramiris The Almighty Fairy Queen?" I question sarcastically.
"Oho, so you've heard of me, of course you have, someone as great as me is known by everyone!" Her soon annoyed face turned into a face full of smugness.
"That was sarcasm." I deadpan at her.
"What's that?" She questioned confusedly.
"In simple terms, it means I didn't mean it." I respond while chuckling at her lack of common sense sometimes.
Her face soon turned into a pout.
"Meanie!" She turned her head away from me.
I can't have her mad at me, so let's try to appease her.
"I was just messing with you Ramiris, how about taking this as a form of an apology?" I take out a slice of cake seemingly out of thin air, that I had just for this situation.
She curiously looked over here.
"What's that? Is that just cake?" She questioned.
"No this is a special cake, I mean if you don't wanna try it, I can just eat it myself." I pull out a fork seemingly out of nowhere and started to inch it towards the cake slowly.
"No!No! I'll eat it!" She exclaimed snatching the cake out of my hand.
"I'll see if it's worthy enough to forgive you, hmph!" She turned her head around and inched towards the cake.
Once she took a bite out of it, she seemed to have froze.
"DELICIOUSS!!"
Stars filled her eyes as she started to devour the rest of the slice of cake in seconds.
"Is there more?" Once she was done, she speeded to my face and questioned.
"Yes, but I need you to do something for me." I tell her.
"Hmm, what do you want from me?" She questioned, looking at me warily.
She seems to be wary of me, well she isn't one of the oldest demon lords for no reason.
"Well, all I wanted was a blessing from you." I tell her straightforwardly.
She looked at me dumbfoundedly.
"That's all?"
"Yup." I nod, eyes filled with expectation.
"Well sure but on one condition." She responded eagerly but looked a little embarrassed for some reason.
"Sure if it's reasonable," I respond.
"W-well the one condition is that you have to become my friend." She was looking down with an embarrassed face while twiddling with her fingers.
"I mean I don't mind but how come you trusted me so easily?" I questioned confusedly why she befriended a stranger like me so easily.
"Well, I recognized you from Milim's description when she visited a little while ago, your one of the rulers of Tempest right, Lucifer Tempest? Milim also told me how much of a good person you are and how much she had fun with you guys." She responded, scratching the back of her small neck.
"Oh that makes sense, then I wouldn't mind being your friend. Your pretty cute anyways." I rub the tip of my finger against her cheek.
"That's the spot- Ugh, you can't just do that to One of the Oldest Demon Lords!!" She seemed to at first be enjoying it but soon turned prideful and moved away.
"Yeah, yeah, just get on with it." I tell her.
"Hmph!" She comes close to me and taps my forehead with her small finger.
"That fast?" I question in disbelief, feeling my Magicules slightly grow but I felt nothing else changed.
"I'm the Fairy Queen! One of the Oldest Demon Lords! Did you think a blessing would be hard?!" She questioned smugly.
"I mean in your current state, a fly could kill you." I deadpan at her.
"Do you think your funny!?" She ran up to my face with a flushed face.
"I feel like nothing has changed except a slight increase in my Magicules." I ignore her previous statement and continue.
"Don't ignore me! Ugh whatever, are you telling me you can't feel such an obvious change? Let me help you realize." She fly's to my head and taps it like before.
This time I felt something.
I felt more in tune with the environment around me but I also felt like I could do something else.
Raising my hand up, I close it and bring it down.
The whole labyrinth started shaking.
*BOOMM!*
Columns were falling, fairies were flying away to safety.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Ramiris questioned scaredly.
Realizing my mistake, I immediately stop it.
Looking up, I realized the labyrinth was holding up well except there was a hole somewhere from my attack.
Walking towards it, I look under it, it looks like it was scorched by lightning.
Lightning Control, nicee!!
"Sorry, Ramiris." I nervously chuckle.
"Sorry won't do it-" She was about to decline my apology but I cut her off.
"I'll give you a new place to put the labyrinth and it can become a dungeon where tons of people will come every day. I'll also give you a place to make even more friends and I'll give you a free supply of those cakes any time." I tell her with a smirk.
"Yes sir!" She salutes, seemingly forgotten about what just happened.
I just chuckle at her behavior.
"My partner will come back in like one month or maybe more, I'll tell him to bring and help you transport the labyrinth and that's when you can come."
She nodded eagerly.
"I'll see you later my friend." I wave without looking back, seemingly disappearing from my previous spot in a flash.
Once I left the labyrinth, I was back in the middle of the forest.
Looking towards a certain direction.
"Your next." I state with a mysterious smile.
