Chapter 134: Blood Guardian II

"Oh. My master's life is dangerously close to being zapped out. How long has it been since I, the Blood Guardian, has been woken up from my deep slumber?" Lucifer...said those words with a look as if he was bored.

Well...it was not really Lucifer who said those words. It was the Blood Guardian, who has taken over Lucifer's body.

This is because Lucifer's life was dangerously close to being zapped out as he said, and the one who is tasked with dealing with situations like these is called the Blood Guardian.

And the only time that the Blood Guardian has ever come out of Lucifer's body is when Lucifer has clashed against other Hell Gods and Heaven Gods.

After all, who would be strong enough to make Lucifer almost lose his life other than his fellow Gods?

No one. And that is why Blood Guardian thought that there is a God near here, who was just battling Lucifer.

That is the reason why Blood Guardian moved his head here and there to search the area.

However, the Blood Guardian was shocked to see that...there was no God near him.

"Oh, my. Oh, my. What the hell is going on?" the Blood Guardian said.

It was then that the Blood Guardian finally saw Oumu, who was just standing near him.

"Hmm? Were you the one who did this to my master? Oh, wait. That was a rude question to ask."

"Yep, yep. If my master was awake, he would have punished me by now. After all, you would never be able to injure my master, much less make him almost lose his life."

"He would see it as rude for me to even ask you this question."

"Ahhh, I'm getting rusty, haven't I? It's probably because I rarely go out."

The Blood Guardian said all those words as he looked down on Oumu.

It seems that...the Blood Guardian was quite talkative as he just said one thing after another.

However, that was not the important point.

Lucifer was already buckling on his knees and was about to collapse to death.

His condition was so bad that it even tempted Oumu that he would be able to betray Lucifer and kill him and take revenge for his late master.

And now...just because some guy called the Blood Guardian came out, Lucifer...was able to stand up and even act so perfectly normal?

It was obvious that the Blood Guardian is the one controlling Lucifer's body right now, but...Lucifer's body condition should still be the same.

That is why...it was so fascinating for Oumu - to be able to witness something so bizarre.

A creature that was controlling its master's battered body, a body that couldn't even move a few seconds ago.

How can this creature even able to move his master's battered body?

These questions flowed in and out of Oumu's mind and he really wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Normally, Oumu wouldn't take a chance or anything of the sort when it comes to Lucifer.

However...since it was the Blood Guardian who was taking control of Lucifer's body now, and it seems that he was quite talkative, Oumu thought that he should take this chance to ask about what was going on.

After all, they were still different person so it should be fine.

That was why Oumu really decided with all of his heart to ask the Blood Guardian.

"H-Hey, you said that your name is the Blood Guardian, right...? I am a servant of Lucis, taking care of him. Are you also a servant of Lucis?" Oumu carefully asked the Blood Guardian.

Of course, the Blood Guardian answered him with the same bored look on his face.

"Lucis? Ah, are you referring to the old name of my master? Anyway, indeed I am a servant of Lucis."

"My name is Blood Guardian, and I am tasked with dealing with situations like these where my master's life is dangerously close to being zapped out."

"And since I am tasked with such an important duty, this only goes to show that I am strong! I stand equal to the Hell Gods, who would only be the ones capable enough to make my master's life be dangerously close to being wiped out!"

"H-Hell Gods?! You stand equal to them!?" Oumu shouted out loud as the stars in his eyes just shone brightly.

It was because he just heard an absurd phrase that he didn't expect that he would hear in this situation.

However, because Oumu was too excited about what was going on and about the overall situation, he didn't doubt it or anything of the sort.

Well, this is because this would his only chance to know more about Lucifer.

Anyway, when the Blood Guardian heard those words, he just nodded his head with the same bored look on his face.

"That's right. I am the Blood Guardian, one of the most important Demon Authorities of the Hell God, Lucifer."

"I am also one of his few servants that were personally created with his soul."

"Hence, it is no doubt that I stand equal to the Hell Gods."

"Though, it is just because I am capable of using my master's powers freely as I have been granted the right to do so."

The Blood guardian...said those words as if what he said was nothing special.

Well, it indeed was nothing special...for the Blood Guardian.

It was common sense to him, but it was definitely not common sense for Oumu.

What's more, the Blood Guardian just literally spilled Lucifer's secrets for Oumu to hear.

What he just said was information on Lucifer that the other Hell Gods and Heaven Gods would do anything to acquire.

And the Blood Guardian just carelessly said those words to Oumu as if nothing was wrong.

Well, this is just because it was just common sense for him and he thought that it was only normal.

Besides, the situation isn't really that bad...if one thinks about it.

Oumu is indeed interested in this situation, but he does not understand the value of what the Blood Guardian just said.

However, there is something that the Blood Guardian just said that caught Oumu's attention.

And that is...

"D-Demon Authorities of the Hell God, Lucifer? D-Does that mean that since you are taking over Lucis' body...he is the Hell God, Lucifer?" Oumu asked the Blood Guardian with a little bit less enthusiasm.

This is because he doubted it. 

Of course, Oumu is excited to know what the Blood Guardian is all about and all that stuff.

However, that was it. He was just curious about the Blood Guardian and how he works.

But...that does not mean that Oumu would just naturally believe whatever the Blood Guardian says.

Besides, Oumu already has a reason to doubt it as he beat the Nocturnal Phantom when it comes to knowledge about the Hell God, Lucifer.

Though, Oumu also doubts his victory since Lucifer said that history might have been changed.

However, Oumu, at the back of his head, naturally trusts himself more than Lucifer.

That is why he really thought that Lucis...is not the Lucifer that he knows and just an imposter trying to scare them.

However, the Blood Guardian didn't know about this, and he had no reason to know about this.

Hell, even if the Blood Guardian knows about this, he wouldn't even give a fuck about it.

But...he would gladly answer Oumu's question as...well, it was obvious by now, but the Blood Guardian is extremely talkative.

This is because he rarely goes out as he is barely needed by Lucifer and he wants to savor every moment that he gets while he's out in the world.

Anyway, this is what the Blood Guardian said.

"That's right. One of the Demon Authorities of the Hell God, Lucifer."

"Demon Authorities are-" The Blood Guardian said, but...he was stopped by Oumu as Oumu interjected.

"Demon Authorities is the power of Hell Gods! It is their powers as Gods!"

"So are you saying that you are a power of a God!?" Oumu asked the Blood Guardian.

And to which, the Blood Guardian answered.

"Indeed. And because I am such a special creature, my powers are more than special as well."

"Dare I might say that my powers itself are more essential to my master than his other Demon Authorities."

"Why? This is because I naturally have the power to reconstruct his body and heal his wounds just by being awake."

"What's more, since I have been granted the right to be able to use his powers without any restriction, I am as strong as my master."

"Of course, this does not mean that I can use his powers as well as he could, but...one must not underestimate the raw power of a Hell God."

The Blood Guardian said those words.

Well, this is one flaw of the Blood Guardian. What he said was the truth. If one thinks about it, he is one hell of a cheat.

He can heal Lucifer's body just by being awake, and that was it.

However, he is just...too talkative.

That is the reason why Lucifer made it so that the Blood Guardian would only appear when he is needed.

"Do you understand, little boy?" The Blood Guardian asked Oumu.
