Destroying My Own World

"How long are we going to wait for them? Didn't we agree that we will meet them here at this hour?" Luis asked as he impatiently moved back and forth in front of the portal in China.

"Calm down. We aren't in a hurry, and who knows what kind of preparation they did since the place we are going to be is quite terrifying," Gea said and looked at Luis as she ate the steaming hot meat bun. "If you don't want your meat bun, can I have it then?" Gea jokingly asked to calm Luis down.

Sasha was talking with Sun Wukong and Lei Wu Xian about the preparations for the expedition. She wanted to make sure everything had been prepared for any obstacles that would come to them.

"They have finally come," Anastasia said as she stared at the gate.

Sasha turned around and saw an SUV car with the Redshield Guild emblem on the license plate. She then watched as Lucifer and seven others came out of the car and walked toward the camp where she was at. She was a bit anxious because it was the first time the Virtue Guild had worked with the Redshield Guild since Lilith's death.

"I apologize for being late even though I was the one who suggested this expedition. I have no excuse," Lucifer said to everyone as he entered the camp. "Did you guys wait long?" Lucifer asked as he looked at them.

"It's okay, you're only late for an hour," Anastasia said.

"I'll make it up once we are done here. I'll prepare something for you guys later," Lucifer said as he gently smiled at them.

Lucifer, or what people knew him as Eric Ulf was a fine gentleman in their eyes for how he carefully used his words and acted toward them. He always became the man of the hour, and everyone respected him as he respected others. Of course, there would be people who thought it was all just an act, and the only one who knew his true self was Sasha.

"Good morning, Miss Sasha," Lucifer said as he looked at her.

"Do you still need time to prepare?" Sasha asked and ignored the greeting. "If so, you can use your time for that," Sasha added.

"No. We are good to go," Lucifer answered as he smiled, and he looked excited. "Since this is something that I suggested, should I take the lead then?" Lucifer asked as he looked at the others.

They had no complaints about that, and they trusted him since the Redshield Guild cleared the portals effortlessly and splendidly. They all looked at Sasha and waited for her answer since she was the head of the Guild League.

"I have no objection," Sasha answered.

Lucifer smiled and then led everyone into the portal.

Sasha looked at Agares and the others, and they were different than before, their aura was so intimidating for the others to approach. She heard that the people who saved Poland from the last invasion had joined the Redshield as well, and nobody knew their names or where they were since they hadn't seen them again.

People had been asking her about those people since she was a Redshield and they knew her as the head of the family. Nobody knew that she no longer had the power over the Redshield and that Lucifer had been instructing her from behind the curtain.

"Are you alright? You look troubled," Lucifer asked on the ship to the next portal.

"Cut the act, and stop bothering me," Sasha stared Lucifer in the eye with despise and disgust.

Lucifer approached Sasha who was sitting inside the cabin where nobody was around. When he stood in front of her, he pulled out the sword from the cane he was holding, and then put it on the table. That made Sasha look confused and stared at Lucifer with suspicion.

"Take it, that sword is strong enough to kill me," Lucifer said as he tilted his head at the sword on the table.

Sasha didn't hesitate and grabbed the sword on the table and then pointed it at Lucifer's neck. But before she could cut off his head, she saw a big smile on Lucifer's face. She realized something was off about it, and if she did kill him, she might regret it later.

"Go on, kill me," Lucifer said as he took a step forward and let the tip of the blade stab his neck. "If you kill me now, all the others will follow me after. You can end all this and bring peace back to Earth, and then you can get your reward from The Lord," Lucifer pointed out.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Sasha didn't want to listen, or even cooperate with what Lucifer was saying. She pulled the sword back and didn't want to kill him anymore because there would always be a catch when she was dealing with him.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to be free? Free from me and go to heaven?" Lucifer asked as he kept smiling and walking closer to Sasha. "I'm telling the truth, and I can swear on The Lord's name that I'm being serious," Lucifer said as he watched Sasha walk backward, avoiding him.

Sasha kept avoiding Lucifer until she hit the wall and had nowhere else to go, and then suddenly Lucifer put his hands on the wall. She couldn't avoid him anymore because he blocked all her way with his arms.

"Don't you want that?" Lucifer asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I'm not going to be swayed by your words ever again," Sasha answered as she put away the sword from Lucifer. "It's too good to be true," Sasha added.

Lucifer chuckled as he nodded his head and then he started laughing mischievously.

"Then I'll tell you everything, and you can decide which one will you choose," Lucifer said as he walked away from Sasha. "You can kill me and all this mess will be over, but Mykel will suffer and will live eternity in the deepest part of hell," Lucifer explained.

"What are you talking about?" Sasha asked.

"You know what happened to him when he tried to fight The Lord. He was tortured in hell by me, and I enjoyed every second of it, but do you know why The Lord set him free?" Lucifer asked and stared at Sasha. "He gave him a chance to repent. All he has to do is stop the demons and fix the mess he created, but if he failed or he wasn't the one who end it then he will be punished," Lucifer explained.

"What do you mean by that?" Sasha asked with her eyebrows furrowed. "So if we clear the portals and bring back the peace on Earth he will be punished because of that?" Sasha added.

"That's right, and nobody can save him without The Lord's will, and The Lord has given him a second chance, so nothing could save him anymore," Lucifer answered with a smirk. "So, what are you going to do, Sasha? I know your love for him is like an unquenchable flame. Would you like to see him suffer this time while you live in heaven?" Lucifer asked as he walked toward Sasha.

Lucifer knew that he couldn't corrupt Sasha anymore with the same trick as before. So he decided to use her love for Mykel and tried to get her back into his palm. He already knew the answer, but he wanted to play with her feelings and emotions.

He could see that Sasha hesitated to give an answer, and then he asked, "Why hesitate, Sasha? Don't you want to be free?" "You should know that the more we clear the portals, the less time Mykel has," he continued.

"You're lying," Sasha said as she stared Lucifer in the eye.

"No. Why would I? You can ask Raphael if you want to," Lucifer replied with a smirk.

Sasha spoke to Raphael and was hoping he could give her the real answer. When she saw the notification, she was surprised that Raphael could vouch for Lucifer's words about what would happen to Mykel. He told her that Mykel would be damned and would be tortured for eternity once peace got brought back to Earth.

"See? I'm not lying," Lucifer said as he chuckled. "So? What would you do?" Lucifer asked.

Before Sasha could give an answer, Lucifer whispered into her ear that even Raphael couldn't hear. The moment Lucifer leaned his head back, Sasha dropped the sword and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Don't you want that?" Lucifer asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I'll play along, for now," Sasha said and then walked away with an angry expression.
