She Belongs To The Devil

"But… but suddenly, he vanished from my grip."

[A few minutes ago]

The shadow demon grabbed onto Damien's leg once again and then dropped straight inside his shadow portal.

Unlike before, Damien neither had time to react nor had the strength to try and resist the pull from below.

And before he could do anything to protect himself from falling, Damien was five feet under the gooey shadow. Everything around him was dark and cold. He felt his whole body freezing and then going numb.

Damien was feeling as though he was being swallowed whole by some predator with paralyzing ability.

Even though he could barely feel his arms, he was still tightly grabbing onto that deer plushy fearing that he would lose it again in that dark abyss.

And before his mind also succumbed to the effects of that shadow portal, the last thought that came to his mind was, "Ariel."

And the last thing he felt before closing his eyes and succumbing to the darkness was some kind of overwhelming feeling running all over his body.

He imagined that feeling to be something sparkly popping inside his veins.

And after that, it went all blank.

The moment Lilith heard that Damien had vanished from that shadow demon's grip, she thought that Damien had somehow managed to escape.

So she instantly tried to teleport to her son's location to make sure that he was safe and sound.

"What do you mean by he vanished from your grip?" Mammon, on the other hand, immediately grabbed that shadow demon by his neck and asked in a roar.

"I'm sor-ry mas-ter." The shadow demon was barely speaking with his breath. And his master's huge palm that was covering his whole neck, as well as his jaw and cheeks, wasn't making it easier to speak either.

But he was still apologizing for letting his master down, "I couldn't… com-plete the ab-duction. I'm sorry."

Mammon further tightened his grip on that demon's neck and snarled, "You're sorry? You made me fly high in the air thinking that everything was going according to my plan only to crush me down. And you're sorry?"

Mammon had a look of betrayal on his face.

Even when the shadow demon had never told Mammon that he had successfully kidnapped the child, Mammon felt that he was lied to. In reality, it was just him who had assumed that the shadow demon had kidnapped Damien.

However, his anger was justified because the shadow demon failed to complete his mission and also failed to report the failure.

And he was enraged even more by the fact that the demon had lost the child after he was already inside the shadow. Once the prey fell into that shadowy portal, they would barely be able to escape unless the victims were extremely powerful demons like the Princes or King of Hell.

So Mammon brought the shadow demon a little closer to his face and asked, "Are you sure that the boy isn't somewhere inside your shadow?"

"N-No master. I checked." The shadow demon was choking badly.

He didn't know whether he would be alive in the next few seconds. His master could easily snap his neck like a mere twig. But instead of trying to escape from the clutch of his master, he was ready to accept death.

When Mammon was busy choking his subordinate, Lilith had already lost her composure.

She was boiling with rage as well as scared to her core. She was getting cold sweats but at the same time, her hands were shaking with rage.

For one, her son was missing because Mammon gave the order to kidnap her son and that shadow demon kidnapped him but somehow lost him. And another… Lilith was unable to teleport to her son's current location.

She had tried to get to her son a couple of times already but her efforts were in vain.

And Lilith thought that the demon who kidnapped her son had done something unthinkable to him. She thought that the reason why she couldn't teleport to her son was that that kidnapper had already killed her son and gotten rid of his body.

Lilith glared at that demon who was dangling in front of Mammon.

And without even confirming her suspicion with that demon, she flew towards him and kicked on his head so hard that his head went flying.

Blood spurted all over Mammon's hand. He kept on staring at the headless body in shock.

The shadow portal of that demon which was still active until moments ago vanished from sight.

As that shadow demon wasn't a winged one, he lost his life the moment he was beheaded.

Mammon dropped the body of his underling and glared at Lilith with rage-filled eyes. And he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Why on hell did you kill him?"

Lilith also shouted equally loudly, "Because he killed my son!"

"He would never go against my order…" Mammon replied in a little softer voice.

However, that enraged Lilith even more. "Then you were the one who ordered him to kill my son, you murderer!"

"Now you are also going to die!" She screamed so loudly that the nerves in her neck were visibly bulging. The whites of her eyes turned red and her hair floated behind her back.

The demons called her the most ruthless demoness of all time. Her wings, her horns, her clawed feet, and the sea of anger in her eyes… She looked the part right now.

She looked so terrifying that she looked like she was going to kill half of the remaining enemy demons right now if not all. And the way she looked infuriated, it was evident that she would be chasing down the runaway demons to the depths of Hell and would kill them all.

Lilith was going to start the slaughter by killing one of the six Princes of Hell, Mammon.

She conjured up her sword again and swung her sword aiming at Mammon's neck.

However, before she could strike, the flames of Hellfire appeared in between her and Mammon and she froze mid-air.

Each one of the demons in the vicinity was on their knees.

They were in the presence of the King of Hell who was accompanied by another Prince of Hell called Beelzebub.
