He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

I promise again: I will absolutely not stop updating until the preliminary test results are released!

Thank you!

Chapter 31 Hell Journey

As Kurosaki Azami spoke, the black mark on his chest began to burn and ache.

Then, Kurosaki Azami collapsed onto the bed, and her body began to emit a scarlet glow.

My consciousness felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

I'm so dizzy... and I feel like throwing up...

The intense feeling of being overweight made Kurosaki Azami uncomfortable.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Are you feeling better, little one?"

The majestic yet alluring queenly voice rang in Kurosaki Azami's ears for the third time.

Kurosaki Azami stood up.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a blood-red expanse—blood-red stones, blood-red rivers, and the blood-red hall where Kurosaki Azami and the owner of the voice were located.

That being said, after hearing his voice so many times, I've finally met him in person!

The woman before him had skin as white as snow, and her crimson eyes revealed arrogance and desire. The beauty mark at the corner of her left eye added a touch of allure. She wore a crown-shaped black hairpin, and her horns, as white as her skin, and her black arrow-shaped tail indicated that this beauty was not human.

Even with gloves on and a black suit with red lace trim, her perfect figure couldn't be hidden. A silver brooch adorned her full breasts—the same design as the one on Azami Kurosaki's chest.

The beautiful woman gently swirled the red wine in her hand and spoke:

"I am Lucifer, the arrogant devil, the king of hell."

Even just by speaking, they exude a considerable sense of pressure.

"Hello, King of Hell, my name is Kurosaki Azami."

Kurosaki Azami bowed slightly.

Even if a fight is about to break out, we must not lose our manners.

The Crimson King, poised to pounce beside him, gave him a thumbs up.

"There's no need to be so vigilant."

Even when facing the Crimson King, Lucifer showed no sign of panic.

"I called you here not to fight you. On the contrary, I'm here to ask for your help."

She was clearly asking for help, but her tone and body language didn't convey any sense of asking for help, and surprisingly, this attitude wasn't offensive at all, as if it were perfectly natural.

He truly deserves the title of "the arrogant devil."

"Oh? May I ask, King of Hell, what business do you have with me?"

I am just a mortal, not a demon, how could I possibly help the Demon Queen?

"It's just that I need to borrow your identity as an 'intruder'."

"Intruder"?! Could it mean... "Time Traveler"?

With his deepest secret exposed, cold sweat instantly soaked Kurosaki Azami's back.

"Relax, I have no intention of revealing this."

The frequency of the swirling in the wine glass seemed to increase, and Lucifer revealed a "mischievous" smile.

"I already said, I came here to ask for your help."

Do you know what hell is?

do not know.

Even though the Passionate Organization has the Matou family, a long-established magic family, as an ally and has obtained a lot of information about magician families, Azami Kurosaki really knows nothing about Hell.

"Hell is the only place in this world where souls can go."

The ruler of Hell began to explain slowly.

"Contrary to the propaganda of various religions, there is no such thing as 'heaven' in this world. The only place people go after they die is hell."

"All souls in this world are under the jurisdiction of Hell. The reason I can tell you are an 'intruder' is because I have discovered that your soul is not under the control of Hell."

So don't worry, the option of 'extracting your soul and throwing it into the fire' never existed in the first place.

The fact that you said that makes me even more worried!

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

I called you here today so you could help me retrieve a few things.

Sitting back on his throne in the hall, Lucifer continued his explanation in his unhurried tone:

“Our hell adopts a system similar to the ‘feudal system’ of the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, and there are several demon lords under me.”

"Almost all the lords are loyal to me... except for Malak."

"He is the demon of 'fear' and has always wanted to replace me as the demon king."

Image: "Malak", Location: "Images/1642579394-100292271-108244393.jpg"

"For this ridiculous purpose, he tricked countless mortals into making contracts with him to sell their souls."

You probably understand, right? The soul, especially the soul of a sinner, possesses immense power.

Kurosaki Azami naturally knew.

One of the conditions for DIO to go to Heaven was "36 souls of the most heinous sinners," and he also clearly wrote in his notebook that "the souls of sinners have great power."

"Of course, I killed him. Unfortunately, Malak was an expert in defense, and the defensive structures he hid in his territory on the edge of the abyss have yet to be breached by any demon."

"So, you think I can break through a defense that even demons can't break through?"

Kurosaki Azami was a little puzzled, since he didn't even have half a magic circuit.

“That’s right. Malak’s defenses are designed to target the soul. Even if I were to take action myself, I would only be able to circle around the outside. That’s why I brought you here—a person whose soul is not controlled by Hell is the perfect candidate for the job of ‘breaking down the defenses’.”

"I can promise you that as long as you can break down the defenses in the Malak territory, I can give you either your rare magical talent or the treasures within that territory."

"I understand, deal."

Kurosaki Azami remained solemn.

This is someone else's territory. Even if they can't kill him instantly, Kurosaki Azami doesn't think he can fight a protracted war with the Demon Queen in Hell.

Moreover, it's not like Azami Kurosaki doesn't want something—

“Very good, this is the contract—”

"Please wait a moment, Lord of Hell."

Kurosaki Azami reached out and stopped the Queen's jade hand from taking out the contract.

"For the success of this project, I need to add another form of advance payment."

"What a greedy fellow... Perhaps you and Mammon will get along very well."

Lucifer was a little angry.

"Don't worry, it's not expensive."

What I want is 'the soul of Akiaki Ogino'.

Before a major battle, there must be supplies.

The souls of sinners possess immense power, and the activation of a Stand also requires spiritual energy as support.

For the Crimson King, there is no better replenishment than the soul of Akiaki Ogino.

"Okay, here you go."

Ignoring the wails around him, Lucifer waved his hand, and a chain bound Ogino Akiaki's soul to the blood-red hall.

Ignoring the wails of the soul, the Crimson King emerged from beside Azami Kurosaki and crushed Akiaki Ogino's soul in one swift motion.

"You crushed souls without hesitation, and you bear such heavy sins... You might be well-suited to be a demon lord."

Lucifer couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Crimson King devour shattered souls.

"You flatter me."

As the only officially designated antagonist in the book, Azami Kurosaki is certainly aware of his sins.

Aside from crimes that disqualify someone from even being called a "villain," he has committed virtually every crime prohibited in a country governed by the rule of law.

"Then sign the contract. Go and break down Malak's defenses for me."

Remember, as the demon of fear, Malak's greatest skill is forcing his enemies to confront their own sins and fears.

Even if he is dead, the defensive structures he left behind must be related to this.

Go—

Lucifer stretched out his finger and poked the black symbol on Kurosaki Azami's chest.

“I will bear witness to this.”

PS: One of the secret codes for Kurosaki Azami to go to heaven: [Mediana]

So far, there are three secret codes, all of which the author researched extensively.

They are all basically connected to the story of Kurosaki Azami and contain some Christian elements.

Considering how hard the author has worked, could you please add this to your favorites and vote for it... hehe...?

Chapter 32 Don't Get Bitten by the Waiter

"Is there no other color in this wretched place besides red...?"

Stepping into the crimson portal opened by Lucifer, a flash of blood red appeared before Kurosaki Azami's eyes.
