Ruler of the Supreme

Chapter 4: Lucifer’s Side quest



Lucifer's POV:

Lucifer led his subordinates to the edge of the forest, the ancient trees casting long, eerie shadows. His subordinates are Maya, she is the right hand man of luficer , she has a black hair and wings with yellow eyes with glasses she is a fallen angel just like him.

 Verrine is also one of the subordinate of luficier and has a blue hair and wings and uses spear as a weapon, he is also a fallen angel.

 "We shall divide and conquer," he commanded.

 "You both , form a team and explore the surrounding area. Be cautious, and report any unusual findings."

As his subordinates dispersed,

Lucifer uses his wings to fly to the top of the sky and checks his surrounds and he found a town far away and lucifer flys near the town and lands near the forest and Lucifer donned a mask, a magical artifact capable of altering his appearance. With a thought, his form shifted, transforming him into an elderly man. He blends seamlessly .

The mask is a legendary item which is made of the skin of the doppelganger and illusion magic and is also enhanced to make the disguise more realistic , the person who wears it become a new person , their level , their appearance and her skills to become the person they created to disguise , in this way this mask can fool anyone.

His mission was simple, yet perilous: to infiltrate a nearby town and gather intelligence. He would need to navigate the complex social dynamics of this new world, decipher its customs, and identify potential threats.

In a distance there was a merchant who is riding a cart and Lucifer thought a idea to enter the town without being noticed by anyone.

 He entered the town by struck himself in the bottom of a cart of a food merchant , the soldiers near the gate of the town didn't seem suspicious as it a regular food merchant cart and after he entered the town he get off the cart quickly when it is not crowded and roams the city.

there he quickly observes the town, it's people and he noticed they are speaking a different language than he know , and they are using a different coins than him , even the coins material are same like copper,silver and gold but the shape are different .

 so he thought i should first learn their language to gather information as he was walking near by someone he uses his skill steal to steal some coins ,after he gone to a secluded area and use dimensional pocket to get some copper and silver and uses fire magic to shape the material into coins after a 10 minutes and he perfected some coins and gone to the nearby library.

he bought some books using sign/body language with the shopkeeper and he uses the same method of riding under the cart to exit the town and then goes straight to the guild base.

Lucifer returned to the base, his mind racing with the newfound knowledge. He sought out the Knowledge Seeker, a wise and learned being who specialized in deciphering ancient texts and forgotten languages.And the one who seeks wisdom and knowledge. 

His face, if it could be called that, was completely hidden behind a full-shielded mask, a featureless expanse of dark, unidentifiable material. It was as if he had no face at all, just an empty void behind the protective barrier.

From the area where a mouth should have been, thin, dark tentacles writhed subtly. They moved with a fluid, almost unsettling grace, like the tendrils of a deep-sea creature. Lucifer couldn't help but shudder, imagining what secrets they whispered, what forbidden knowledge they tasted.

His hands, long and slender, were tipped with three-inch nails, sharp and obsidian-like. They weren't just long; they were part of him, extensions of his being, like sharpened talons.

He wore a dark blue dress, a flowing garment that draped over his form, concealing the shape beneath. The fabric moved with an unnatural grace, as if stirred by an unseen current, adding to his otherworldly aura.

Presenting the books to the Knowledge Seeker, Lucifer explained his mission. The being, with a knowing smile, accepted the books.

 "I shall study these texts and create a language primer," he promised. "It will aid us in our understanding of this world."

With that, Lucifer thanked the Knowledge Seeker and headed to the throne room. There, he found his subordinates, each bearing a stack of books. It seemed that everyone had encountered the same language barrier.

"We must adapt quickly," Lucifer said, addressing the group.

 "The Knowledge Seeker will provide us with the tools we need to communicate with the locals. In the meantime, we must continue to gather information, both overt and covert. Our success depends on our ability to understand and navigate this new world."

After a hour the knowledge seeker contacted lucifer , Lucifer, eager to learn the new language, made his way to the Knowledge Seeker's chamber. The wise being greeted him with a knowing smile.

 "I have deciphered the language," he announced, handing Lucifer a small, leather-bound book. "This book contains the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of the language."

The Knowledge Seeker then presented Lucifer with a holographic video. "This video will provide a visual and auditory guide to the language," he explained. "Study it diligently, and you shall master it."

Lucifer thanked the Knowledge Seeker and returned to his quarters. He spent the next few days immersing himself in the language, practicing pronunciation and grammar. He even engaged in conversations with the Knowledge Seeker to improve his fluency.

Eventually, Lucifer and his subordinates had mastered the language. They were ready to return to the world and continue their mission. With newfound linguistic abilities, they were better equipped to understand and interact with the inhabitants of this strange new world. They gone to their master to report of this , to give him the book of language of the otherworlders. 

As they gone to the thorne room their master waited for them lucifer told"Asmodeus-sama , we have learned the otherworlder's language , this is the book that the knowledge seeker created for us to learn their language , i hope you kindly accept it and learn their language if in the future you need to communicate with the otherworlders "

"Very well , you done a great job , i will learn this language , keep continuing your investigations , hope you gather useful informations".

"Thank you , my lord"

With that, Lucifer returned to the town he had previously visited. This time, he disguised himself as a young boy, his form shifting with the magic of his mask. He sought out the town's Adventurers' Guild, a place where seasoned warriors and daring explorers gathered to share tales and accept quests.

He mingled with the adventurers, striking up casual conversations. He listened intently to their stories, learning about the local legends, the dangers of the surrounding wilderness, and the political intrigues that simmered beneath the surface of this seemingly peaceful town.

Lucifer, disguised as a curious young boy, peppered the adventurers with seemingly innocent questions. 

"What's the scariest monster you've ever faced?" he'd ask, his eyes wide with wonder.

 "Have you ever fought a dragon?" he'd inquire, his voice filled with awe.

The seasoned adventurers chuckled, amused by the inquisitive child. They regaled him with tales of fearsome beasts, perilous quests, and daring escapes. They answered his questions patiently, believing him to be a wide-eyed youngster eager to learn.

The receptionist, a gruff woman with a kind heart, took a particular interest in the boy. She noticed his sharp mind and his keen observation skills. "Now, now, young one," she said, "don't get carried away with the tall tales. Most of these adventurers tend to exaggerate a bit."

She then proceeded to explain the basics of adventuring, the dangers involved, and the importance of teamwork. She even offered him a small, worn leather pouch filled with candies, a gesture that warmed his heart.

Lucifer, however, was not merely collecting information. He was also subtly observing the dynamics within the guild, the relationships between the adventurers, and the power structures at play. He was learning, adapting, and preparing for his next move.

Lucifer, still maintaining his disguise as a curious child, embarked on a tour of the town. He visited various shops, from the bustling clothiers to the dimly lit apothecary, and even the intimidating armory.

At each stop, he peppered the shopkeepers with questions, inquiring about the local customs, the availability of goods, and the prices of various items.

Occasionally, a concerned shopkeeper would ask about his parents. "Where are your parents, young man?" they'd inquire.

Lucifer would quickly deflect the question, 

"Oh, I'm just exploring the town on my own," he'd reply with a mischievous grin. 

"My house is just around the corner."

Some shopkeepers would express concern, warning him about the dangers lurking in the shadows. 

"Be careful, child," they'd caution. 

"There are some unsavory characters in this town."

Lucifer would reassure them with a confident smile. "Don't worry," he'd say,

 "I'm a smart kid. If anyone tries to kidnap me, I'll scream and run away as fast as my little legs can carry me!"

His quick wit and confident demeanor seemed to allay their fears, and they would continue their conversation, unaware of the true nature of the inquisitive child standing before them.

Lucifer, having gathered a wealth of information from the town, made his way back to the base. As he approached the throne room, he encountered his subordinates, each returning from their respective missions.

"Well met," Lucifer greeted them, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. 

"Did you uncover anything of interest?"

The subordinates exchanged glances, their faces etched with a mixture of excitement and concern. "We found some things, Lucifer-sama," one of them reported. 

"There are all kinds of races just like from the world we came from , and there are like many different kinds of kingdoms with different races like elf kingdom , beast kin kingdom etc."

Another chimed in, "We discovered there are also some powerful people like us in this world , so we need to be extra careful how we deal with them."

Lucifer listened intently, absorbing the information. Each report painted a more complex picture of this new world.

As they discussed their findings, the massive double doors of the throne room creaked open. Asmodeus emerged, his presence filling the chamber with an aura of power. It was time to report their findings to their lord.

Asmodeus listened intently as his subordinates reported their findings. He nodded, absorbing the information, his eyes gleaming with a mix of determination and caution.

"Good work," he commended.

 "You have gathered valuable intelligence. We shall take some time to analyze the situation and determine the next course of action."

He turned to the Lucifer. "I will dedicate myself to mastering this language," 

"It is crucial that we communicate effectively with the inhabitants of this world."

With that, the meeting concluded. Asmodeus retired to his chambers, his mind filled with thoughts of the future. The challenges ahead were daunting, but he was confident that he and his subordinates would rise to the occasion.

Asmodeus withdrew to his chambers, Alpha Omega approached Lucifer, her gaze fixed on the empty space where their lord had stood.

"Did you... indulge with our lord before we arrived?" Lucifer inquired, a hint of curiosity laced with a touch of envy in his voice.

Alpha Omega, her expression as stoic as ever, replied,

 "What if I told you... yes. And it was… fulfilling."

Lucifer choked back a gasp. Alpha Omega had admitted to such a thing. He knew she was not one for idle chatter or frivolous pursuits. Her race, Darkness in its purest form, was known for its stoicism and unwavering focus on duty. Yet, there was a mischievous glint in her eyes, a playful edge to her tone that sent a shiver down Lucifer's spine.

He knew Alpha Omega enjoyed teasing him. He quickly dismissed it, focusing on the task at hand. "Very well," he said, his voice regaining its usual composure. 

"Let us return to our duties. There is much to be done."

Alpha Omega, ever the stoic one, nodded and turned to leave. As she walked away, a faint fake smile played on her lips. She knew she had struck a nerve, and she reveled in the slight tremor in Lucifer's voice.

 they left the throne room.
