Chapter 27 - CONFLICT AND CONFUSION

Belphegor relayed something to Mammon telepathically, then both shook their heads in agreement.

Mammon teleported in front of me, then teleported behind me. He constantly teleported, circling around me so fast that the only thing anyone outside of the barrier could see was the dust and his afterimage, but that was a diversion.

Mammon jumped into the air, blasted, "Inferno Spears!" raining down humongous fire spears towards me.

But that was also a diversion because Belphegor, teleported behind me, activated, "Lightning Fist!" His right hand engulfed with lightning swung towards my head. The sound of lightning crackling, alerted me that he's using

Lightning fist.

I tilted my head to the right, dodging his attack, grabbed his hand, and twisted it like a pretzel. Belphegor screamed in pain while I was twisting his right hand.

"You really thought something that obvious would work on me? Try harder next time." I smirked, threw Belphegor over my head and into the ground, destroying it on impact.

Mammon completely disappeared out of sight and senses. I activated all-seeing eyes and saw that he went underground, moving at hyper speed towards me, tearing through the earth like butter.

"Really, what could he be planning to do?" I wandered to myself.

He jumped out from underground, and activated, "Scavenger!" Suddenly, I collapsed to the ground, unable to move my feet. I felt something was missing in me.

Scavenger is an ability similar to Leviathan's ability "Envious". The only difference is that he doesn't have to envy you to steal something from you, and it has some limitations on what it can steal.

"Yes! He can't move! Do it now, Belphegor!" He shouted, showing Belphegor my L4 vertebrate in his right hand.

"Huh, did he just steal one of my spinal bones? Smart move, but not smart enough." I thought to myself, then activated auto-healing.

Belphegor got up, and activated "Continuem Fire Blast!" Unleashing a burning sensation on me.

At last, my newly created bone was finished and to test it out, I legged lock Belphegor, twisted my body, to make Belphegor fall down.

"You know what, I see what I needed to see. I'm going to finish this and get it over with. Four Transparent Shattering walls!" I roared.

I used the skill I copied from Aires' subordinate to trap Belphegor and Mammon.

"Do you think this can stop me?" Mammon chuckled, then broke through one of the walls.

Suddenly, the force of his attack, multiplied by one hundred, fell upon him and knocked him out cold.

"Oh, did I forget to tell you guys? If you break through that wall, the force of your attack will multiply by a hundred times and fall upon you." I chuckled.

"Anyway, now that Mammon is out cold, training's over for today." I declared.

"Hey Tsukiko, now that training is over, can you disable this thing I'm in?" Belphegor asked.

I smirked, "No, this is your punishment, if you want to come out, break through the wall."

"Wait what? Please disable it, I don't want to end up like Mammon over there." He whined.

"Oh, right, I forgot about him. I have to heal him." I thought to myself.

I walked over to Mammon, used auto-healing on him. In a few seconds, he woke up again.

"Mammon, training is over. Both of you did a good job today." I complimented.

"Wait, if training is over, why is Belphegor still in that box?" Mammon asked, pointing at the box.

"It's punishment for what he did last night." I chuckled.

Belphegor broke out of the barrier, also got knocked out, I healed him and took down the lightning barrier that was covering the training ground.

"Ok, for tomorrow's training, Satan, you're going to face me in a sword fight," I announced.

"Remember the holy sword I gave you, Satan? You're going to use that to fight me. I'm going to use a similar sword with the same wavelength."

After that, training was completely over. I snapped my fingers and changed the training ground back into an inn.

"I'm going to take a bath and I don't want anyone else in there with me!" I shouted, then headed to the bath.

I sighed, "I still can't believe that in the short time of three days, Belphegor and Mammon improved so far, especially Mammon." I thought to myself.

Suddenly, the door to the bath was opened, and Asmodeus entered wearing a towel, unlike how she usually entered naked.

"Didn't I tell you not to enter the bath when I'm in it?!" I shouted.

"Can you take a chill pill, I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to take a soak in the bath on the opposite side of you." Asmodeus replied, smoothly.

I didn't know why, but after I heard what she just said, I told her she could come in.

She got into the bath and sat on the opposite side of me instead of beside me.

"Huh, something is off about her today, she's not acting like her true self." I thought to myself, staring at her face.

Normally, back then, Asmodeus would enter the bath buck naked, and when I told her to leave, she used her famous phrase "I'm your boss, and if I say I'm taking a bath with you, I'm taking a bath with me.". But she was acting differently.

"Hey, why are you staring at me?! Are you a pervert or something?!" She shouted, covering her body with her hands.

"Kettle calling the pot black? I was only staring at your face because something is off about you." I muttered, pointing at her.

"Yes, Leviathan you're a genius! That book you gave me last night is helping brilliantly! He's starting to notice me." She thought to herself.

The night before that day, Leviathan sneaked out of the training ground, went to a university library, 'borrowed' some books, and gave them to Asmodeus.

"W-what are you talking about? There's nothing different about me." She mumbled.

"Ok, if you say so," I replied.

After that, Asmodeus just stayed on the opposite side, never coming into contact with me, and when she was finished, she exited the bath.

"Huh, was that really Asmodeus? Yes, it's definitely her, but....wait, why do I care if she's acting differently up in I continued to think to myself.

I finished taking a bath and ended up in my room, then fell asleep.
