Chapter 182

"Hoh, I didn't think that I will see one of my brother's Demon Dukes here.  So this is the reason why I can't see you for almost 5 years? You are doing your job of finding another world. Well, you are the best when it comes to concealing and gathering info.… Fufu, thank you for giving me this brand new world."

Lilith stepped out of the rift, she saw Delorio convulsing like seeing a ghost, she giggled watching his expression. Delorio's eyes dilated, he shook his head and didn't want to believe this. He was trembling, the presence of the Queen was dreadful.

"You look terrified."

She licked her lips as she witnessed how Delorio lost his reasoning.

"Lilith----- !!!!!!!!"

Delorio roared and dashed, his hands became shadow swords. His hard work turned nothing, the Queen of Methuselah stole it. He screamed and saliva shot out, the years he spent in this world trying to open a path for his Master Asmodeus, all of it crumbled. 

Lilith giggled watching his reaction, she extended her hand and swing it. A thin thread of blood slashed Delorio, his arms flew away, the man fell to the floor. His black blood poured down, he grunted and glared at her. 

"I didn't give you the permission to use my name, Duke Delorio." 

Lilith looked down with her mocking expression, her eyes glint red.

"You lost your corruption-essence for staying here for long, you became weak."

"Aahhhh!!! SHUT UP!!"

Delorio was mad because the Queen was right. He lost his power for staying here for too long. 

"As always, your blood looks disgusting, not appetizing at all. I can't believe that I can slash your body with just a single swipe. Don't worry, I won't kill you. You gave me a good present so I will let you live. However, remember this and say this to your hedonistic Master. If he tries to take this world, I will kill him."

Lilith threw him down the building, the Demon resisted but he failed, Delorio's body crashed into the concrete road and his black blood splattered. 

"Now, for you…? Oh? It seems like he escaped?"

Lilith looked around and she realized that Francisco vanished. She tilted her head, she found it interesting. She wanted to know how the power system of this world works. She met an interesting woman earlier, and she felt endless bottom in her. And now, another person made her curious. 

"That man is weak but he successfully escaped without me noticing. I can say that the warriors of this world had great powers."

She touched her chin, this world looked unique and caught her attention, she took a step and snap her fingers. 

"I call you, my soldiers."

She commanded and thousands of Methuselahs came out of the rift, they were the first army that came together with the Queen to study the planet. They wanted to know if this world was good for them to live in, after confirming it, the other Methuselahs would come out. They would start their invasion after that, that was the plan but...

"My loyal servants, this world will be our new home! Now, dance and entertain me, start your work!"

Lilith didn't have to know if this world was safe or not, she was interested in this world and she wanted to have it, that was enough reason for her to take it. What she wants, she will have it either by force. 

"Yes, Your Highness!!"

The first army started to do the will of their Queen. 

Lilith stared at the place, she saw towering structures everywhere. She nodded as she found their aesthetic unique. She looked up and narrowed her eyes, the sun of this planet would be a problem.

"If you look around, the only problem is the sun… I have to do something about it."

She lifted her hand and pointed it into the sky. 

"Let's start the show!"

She snapped her fingers and cast a wide blood sphere. The blood began spreading and covered the sky. Lilith wanted to wrap this planet using her power to protect the Methuselahs from the sun.   

She grinned while watching the blood covering the sky, however, she felt that something was wrong. The covering was just getting started and only the city was covered with the red sky, it couldn't spread anymore.

"Hm? I can't extend it, someone is blocking the Skill to fully cover the planet."

Lilith was a bit confused, she didn't know that there is an existence that could block her power on this planet. She tried to manually control the veil but someone talked to her. 

[Hmmp! I praise you for finding a different way to enter this world.]

A voice of a little child talked to her, Lilith was surprised to hear the voice.

"Oh a Protector huh? Looks like this planet had a special Protector. Nobody can block my Skill like this except for the Gods and Demon Lords. How long was it? Three or four millennia? Anyway, we won the battle so I don't care."

[I will give you a chance, be a species of this world, and live peacefully.]

The child said with her confident voice, wanting the Queen to agree.

"Fufufu, are you saying that I, the Queen of the Methuselah, will bow down to you? An existence that depends on your people? No way in hell."

Lilith cackled and found it funny, nobody dared to say these words in front of her face. And if there was, he or she would surely die, nobody could command her. 

[Then you have to die or return to your world.]

"And what are you going to do?"

Lilith asked, she was curious and realized the Protector's intention. It seemed like the Protector wanted to face her because a small Portal appeared near her.

"Are you saying that we will fight in a different place… Fufu, make sure that I will not be bored. My Twelve Dukes can do the job anyway, they are stronger. Well, I can have a good time with you. If they are not enough, I will call my cute pet Manti"

Lilith was eager to find what would happen if she faced the Protector of this planet, she didn't hesitate to enter the Portal. Lilith and the Protector started their own battle. 

………

……

…

Francisco was breathing frantically, he was afraid of the aura that was coming from the woman. When he realized that their plan fucked up, Francisco immediately used his illusion and changed the reality around him. His surrounding became air that suppressed his presence. He knew that he couldn't maintain this Skill that's why he escaped quickly before the woman discovered him.

"What is that?"

Francisco is a Demon, he thought that nothing would scare him anymore. However, that woman, made him resurface his fear. He understood that he would die if faced her. Even if he used the eye, it would be futile, Lilith's physical strength was on another level even if she lost her power. 

Francisco thought that he didn't care about life anymore but looked like he was wrong. The actions that he did made him realize that he still loved his life.

"Fuck!!! I hate this feeling!! Why do I have to be weak!!! I hate this!"

Francisco knew that he would never be the protagonist nor the Last Boss. He was just a side character, the worst one. Perhaps he is just a nutrient for the MC to become stronger. 

(This battle will be a long one and filled with blood, I hope you won't get bored.)

(In chapter 65, I introduced the Methuselahs together with the other Demihumans. I'm happy that I still have cards to use lol. Seriously at first, I don't know how I will write this arc but rereading the story gives me some. I realized that I still have many plots that I can use.)
