Reincarnated as a Blood Demon on Terra? I've Hit the Jackpot!

Chapter 23: (RBT) Chapter 23: Because He is a Good Person



From then on, Ascalon and Manfred officially became Lucifer's disciples, as the closed-door disciples of the noble Blood Demon Prince.

Although this news did not spread throughout Kazdel and among the other clans, it still managed to leak to the ears of the lords of the Royal Courts. According to the rumors… it seemed Teresa had "accidentally" let it slip while talking about matters of the heart with Laqeramaline. Then, the news spread from Laqeramaline to the King of the Corpse Eaters, and then onward to the Shapeshifters.

Finally… the version that reached the Blood Demon Overlord's ears was this: Lucifer has taken new disciples and is preparing to establish his own sect to expand his prestige and power, intending to overthrow the old powers led by the Blood Demon Overlord in the future.

Upon hearing these words, the Blood Demon Overlord's face was full of contempt. He thought that those strange green-haired folks must be sick to come and tell him such a joke… Others might not know what kind of person Lucifer was, but how could he, the Blood Demon Overlord, not know? A recluse who would barely show his face even when ordered by the Royal Court or the Demon King. A man who did nothing but stay home and be lazy every day… him, planning a grand rebellion to overthrow him? Even in his dreams… the Blood Demon Overlord couldn't help but wake up from laughing.

But contempt was one thing. In any case, the matter of Lucifer taking on two disciples had been confirmed by Tracy. And since he had nothing to do lately, the Blood Demon Overlord decided to take the opportunity to visit Lucifer's home after not having been there for a long time.

"I see… so these must be the two disciples you've just taken in?" The Blood Demon Overlord scrutinized the young Sarkaz man and woman who were standing at attention with a stoic expression. After a long moment, he let out a sneer. "Good enough, I suppose. As my Prince, not having a single reliable follower does devalue you a bit."

The Blood Demon Overlord used to not understand why Lucifer, as a Blood Demon, preferred to be a loner. It wasn't until recently that he realized that Lucifer was, in fact, just like himself… it wasn't that he didn't need servants, but rather that he didn't want them. Who would want to carry a burden around with them?

However, Ascalon and Manfred were different. Their potential was praised even by the King of the Corpse Eaters. In the future, they were certain to become important figures.

"Lord Blood Demon…" "Such a strong aura… the scent of blood is even more intense than Teacher's, too."

However, Manfred and Ascalon, still being young, could not withstand the undisguised pressure of the Blood Demon Overlord. Manfred had heard of his reputation from the Military Committee; anyone who spoke of him did so with a change in expression. If he hadn't spent a few days in the "newbie protection period" at Lucifer's house, he probably would have gone weak in the knees at the first sight of the Overlord. As for Ascalon, her "instincts" were blaring non-stop. Although she couldn't tell who was stronger between the Overlord and Lucifer, it was clear that the Overlord was far more cruel and ruthless than him.

And when they saw Lucifer acting normally, even having the courtesy to casually pour red wine for the Overlord, they couldn't help but feel respect for him from the bottom of their hearts.

As expected of Lord Lucifer… doing what we cannot do so easily! Teacher Lucifer, we love and respect you so much!

But when the Blood Demon Overlord looked at the red wine before him, he became displeased.

"That inferior bitter wine again?… It would be better to give this stuff to that old geezer Nezzalem."

The Blood Demon Overlord narrowed his eyes. A stream of blood extended from his cloak and snatched a bottle of Liberi blood wine from Lucifer's wine cabinet. Although Lucifer had many strange flaws, the Overlord had to admit that his actions did have some commendable aspects. Since the end of the war, Lucifer had spent some time developing a blood wine made from a mixture of fresh blood and some alcohol. Although it abandoned the purity of drinking blood, the taste was better, and it could still effectively alleviate the bloodlust instinct of a Blood Demon.

"Don't be so picky, sir. The Overlord is a real glutton."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, my lord… I didn't say a single thing."

Lucifer surrendered before anyone else. After all, the Blood Demon Overlord was picky enough to categorize the blood of fellow Sarkaz into a Tier list. And with the principle that once a bottle is opened, it shouldn't be wasted, he took care of the red wine himself.

As for Ascalon and Manfred? Adults are drinking, children shouldn't interrupt… so go and play.

Watching the two Blood Demons, who were more dangerous than murderers, banter back and forth, Ascalon and Manfred looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes… So, the personalities of these two aren't much different from children, are they?

But after seeing a clear example like the Blood Demon Overlord, the two of them finally understood Teresa's words about Lucifer being an anomaly among Blood Demons…

Because Lord Lucifer was a good person.

Even for Teresa and the King of the Corpse Eaters, it was the first time they had met a Blood Demon so gentle and agreeable. All of this was thanks to the terrible people around him providing a contrast, which allowed the value of Lucifer, who single-handedly raised the reputation of the entire Blood Demon clan among the Royal Courts, to be recognized by everyone—except the Blood Demon Overlord.

"Train those two youngsters of yours well. Try to make them surpass that Tracy and Teresa."

"Besides not helping, Your Majesty is now adding more pressure on me?"

Lucifer wondered if the Blood Demon Overlord had been drinking too much blood lately, causing his mind to be not so clear. Manfred's talent was indeed not bad, and Ascalon's was even greater. And just like the twin siblings, they came from a grassroots Goliath clan without a Royal Court bloodline. But who didn't know how valuable Tracy and Teresa were? They were completely on a deus ex machina level. Their combat power, no less than that of a Royal Court lord, was beyond common sense! How could Manfred and Ascalon compare… they can't fight at that level, they don't have that kind of ability, you know!

And of course, the Blood Demon Overlord knew very well that the talents of Tracy and Teresa were the kind of important figures that were hard to find in a hundred years in Kazdel. He was just teasing Lucifer for fun.

"After all, this is the first set of subordinates my Prince has taken in… I must naturally place importance on them."

The Blood Demon Overlord suddenly looked towards Ascalon and Manfred. But Ascalon and Manfred could only feel a deep chill from his pair of blood-red eyes.

"In that case… shall I give these two to you to look after?"

"?"

Hearing this, before the Blood Demon Overlord could even reply, Ascalon and Manfred, who were being offered as a buy-one-get-one-free gift, were already agitated. They looked at Lucifer with surprise, only to be met with a sly smile in return… The two of them had almost forgotten that he too was a shameless Blood Demon!

"Hah… I don't have the leisurely mood to teach people or pass on my skills. Even if I did… I'm afraid these two little ones wouldn't survive more than a few rounds of my polishing." After glancing at Lucifer one last time, the Blood Demon Overlord grabbed the bottle of blood wine he had gotten for free and immediately bolted for home.

After the Blood Demon Overlord left, the oppressive feeling dissipated. Ascalon and Manfred both let out a long sigh.

"Still so young… if you're weak, just practice more!"

Although Ascalon and Manfred couldn't quite keep up with their teacher Lucifer's strange train of thought, he was quite responsible. He didn't teach them wrongly, nor was he biased… he was just a little lazy.

"Go on… Manfred… go stir-fry a few dishes for me!"

"Me again, sir?"

"So, are you going to ask your teacher (who has forgotten how to cook) or your senior sister (who has never entered a kitchen) to do it?"

"…I'll do it myself then, sir."
