Sign a contract with the devil

Asmodeus

Lying on the bed, Michael's mood was unexpectedly calm, and he looked at the lampshade above his head with a pair of clear eyes.

He's back, Lucifer, he's really back.Although he changed his name, his eyes changed from beautiful lake blue to night black, and his beautiful golden hair changed, he was still Lucifer, the Michael who waited and waited, A person who thinks and thinks.He came back, this time they don't have to be separated, they signed a contract, Michael's soul after death will no longer go to heaven, but will go to hell to accompany Lucifer.

The street in the dark night is extraordinarily quiet, although it is so noisy and lively during the day, it will be silent at night, and all the people or animals that are active during the day have disappeared, leaving only a clean street and shops with locked doors and windows around , quietly, only the shadow of the mouse scurrying in the corner.It is believed that the dark night is ominous.Among the many feelings that night brings, restlessness and fear prevail.In ancient times, our ancestors had a deep understanding of this horror. They hunted and gathered food during the day, and once it was night, they returned to their caves, lit a fire and slept in a group, and those nights in the jungle , There are often ferocious beasts lurking, staring at you hungrily with glowing green eyes, fearing those fires that emit light and heat, once you lose the protection of fire and expose yourself to darkness, they will Will attack you mercilessly.During the day, people feel safe, and most animals are exposed to the sun, while nocturnal beasts return to their burrows to sleep.In some legends about the night, disturbing and frightening monsters often appear, such as water monkeys, cyclops, cat monsters, dragon Fafnir... and vampires, they only appear at night, patrolling around, roam the streets.Walking alone on the street in the wee hours of the morning is always dangerous, and adults warn their children not to go out at night.Of course, there are still bold young people who do not listen to advice and wander the streets in the middle of the night.

For example, this Mr. Michael, he is passing above the Marble Arch subway station, holding a flashlight and walking towards the famous "Speaking Corner" Wellington Arch in the southeast corner of Hyde Park.Michael walked in a hurry, walking in a hurry, as if something was driving him.He talked to the air while walking, and the surrounding was so quiet that only his voice and the slight wind sound remained, which looked very weird.If other people pass by at this time, they will be surprised and shout: "This man must be crazy. Look, he is talking to himself in the air." Fortunately, there is no one else around except him He was there, so no matter how weird his behavior might look to others, it didn't matter.

Michael opened his mouth to speak, and the cold air poured down his throat, itching like being scratched by a knife.He said to the air, "Are you sure it's in the southeast corner?" Somebody answered his question, and he held the flashlight between his hands, rubbing his shivering hands against each other, and regained a little consciousness.

An invisible hand in the darkness snatched his flashlight and floated ahead to light his way forward.Michael muttered "Thank you", put his hands in his coat pockets, and walked towards the "Speech Corner" at a faster pace.

When Michael arrived, he was just one step late. Just like the plots set in many novels—the protagonist always arrives at the scene of the accident one second after the incident—the summoning has already been completed.

The sky turned an eerie purple-red color, and there was something restlessly colliding among the clouds, and the clouds and mists were churned into a ball under the moonlight.Michael looked at the cloud and mist by the moonlight. It first shrunk into a ball, and then was pulled out of a sharp corner, like a cone that fell on the ground. The sharp corner became longer and longer, and the cloud and mist became more and more scattered. , Suddenly a cloud of mist drilled out from the tip of the horn and floated down from the sky.In a trance, Michael seemed to hear the sound of a dragon neighing, and then the sound of the wind, Hula Hula——Getting closer, the cloud of mist condensed into a dragon and ran towards Michael.

The mist floated very close, as if right in front of Michael's eyes, the mist surrounding the dragon slowly dissipated, revealing its original appearance, a dragon with four feet on flames, with a pair of black Wings, a man with three heads sat on his back, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and looked at Michael with his upper body propped up.

"Archangel..." he said to Michael, wrapping his tail around Michael's waist.Only then did Michael realize that his lower body was not human feet, but a blue-gray snake tail.

Michael pulled his tail with his hand and shouted, "Lucifer!"

Asmodeus turned his head to look at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He came so quietly that he appeared out of thin air.He is tall, with a thin body, and has beautiful black hair that grows to his waist. He wears a black slim dress, a black velvet cape, and a pair of high-heeled boots with buckles. The whole person seems to melt into the night inside.The sapphire on his forehead reflected a soft gleam under the moonlight. What was more eye-catching than the gems were his blood-red eyes, as if they knew everything, so deep that no light could be seen. In the depths of those eyes, there was a shadow of death.He is the Lord of Hell, and his name is Lucifer.

Lucifer walked slowly and gracefully towards Asmodeus, Asmodeus' tail loosened, Michael was able to escape, and he ran aside to watch the duel.Lucifer gave Asmodeus an interested smile, which made him turn blue with fright and lose his grip on his sword.Asmodeus said to Lucifer: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. But since a human has summoned me at the cost of his life, I am bound by a contract and must fulfill his wish."

Lucifer said: "Okay, as long as you hit me, I don't care about anything."

Asmodeus almost wanted to kneel down and beg him for mercy. He had always been Lucifer's most loyal subordinate, but now he had to draw his sword against him because of the contract.Asmodeus said painfully, "Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?"

Lucifer said in embarrassment: "I am also a familiar summoned by humans. Since my contractor wants to stop you, I have no choice but to do my best to fulfill his wish." A narrow smile flashed in his eyes, deliberately Look at Michael.

Michael looked at Lucifer calmly, and said to Asmodeus: "I will not let you hurt innocent people in the human world, go back wherever you came from."

Asmodeus raised his sword and said, "It seems that I must fight you, and I have my mission, sorry, Your Majesty."

"It's okay, Asmodeus. Just let me see how much you've improved during my absence," Lucifer said.

The dragon under Asmodeus neighed, flapped its wings and rushed towards Lucifer.Asmodeus raised his sword and slashed at Lucifer, his magic power poured into the sword, and a green flame ignited on the sword.Lucifer easily dodged Asmodeus' blow sideways, and a golden flame ignited in his right hand towards Asmodeus. Asmodeus drove the dragon to dodge, the dragon's tail was lit by the flame, and the hell dragon hissed in pain. Howling, the dragon jumped up into the air, kicking its two feet in the air, obviously suffering from great pain.

Asmodeus was thrown off the dragon's back, and the flames quickly burned along the tail of the dragon to the entire body of the dragon of hell. The golden flame was burning fiercely, and it would not go out no matter how the dragon rolled on the ground.The dragon of hell was quickly burned down to a skeleton.Asmodeus rejoiced that he had escaped, while secretly frightened.

"You are cruel, Your Majesty," Asmodeus said.

Lucifer seemed dissatisfied and said: "I can't deal with this little flame, it seems that you have been very lax recently."

Asmodeus smiled wryly, and said to him: "Your flame can burn all living beings in the Three Realms. Once it is contaminated, it will not be extinguished. Even the Archangel Raphael can't stop it, let alone me."

The golden flame ignited in Lucifer's hand again, and he smiled at Asmodeus and said, "Then are you going to admit defeat? Asmodeus."

Asmodeus straightened up, the strong snake's tail coiled around him.He held the sword tightly and looked at Lucifer vigilantly, with firm eyes and a calm expression, and said without fear of life and death: "Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender easily, even if the opponent is you. I am a warrior, Warriors don't shy away from any fight."

"That's really a pity," Lucifer said.

"I haven't fought you for a long time, Your Majesty. This time I will do my best."

With a wave of Lucifer's hand, a golden wall of fire pressed towards Asmodeus.Asmodeus swung the sword with all his strength under the firelight, injecting all the magic power into the blade, and the green flame slashed towards the wall of fire as Asmodeus waved away all distracting thoughts.The green light cut through the air and hit the fire wall, only sparking a little spark.Asmodeus closed his eyes and waited for the ensuing death.The wall of fire was extinguished when it was about to touch Asmodeus. Asmodeus opened his eyes, the pain of being burned by the high temperature of the flame still remained on his face.

Lucifer put down his hand and said regretfully: "It seems that my contractor's energy is exhausted, and I can't continue to cast magic."

Michael fell back with a pale face, and was held in his arms by a pair of strong hands.Lucifer pinched his fainted face, and gloated, "Have you exhausted your mental strength? It looks like you're going to be in pain for a few days. Who told you to be brave and let me use high-level magic at will." He pushed all the responsibilities to For Michael, he didn't reflect at all that the reason why Michael's mental power was exhausted was because he deliberately used magic that consumed a lot of mental power.

Asmodeus propped up his weakened body with the sword, and said to Lucifer, "Since you can no longer use magic, I must complete the contract."

Lucifer held Michael in his arms, and said regretfully again: "That's not okay, although this guy always makes me angry, I still can't watch him sad."

Asmodeus rested his sword across his chest.

He was hit in the back by a sword light.
