The Demon's Bride

Chapter 562: Path To Resurrection-III



Chapter 562: Path To Resurrection-III

The demons took a better seat to lessen the tension in the room. Lucifer\'s eyes were dark and his anger couldn\'t disappear from his eyes. He was met with Ian\'s ashes and was at lost of words, seemingly stumbling down the hole of shock and couldn\'t climb out of it. Beelzebub remained quiet as much as Maroon and the others.

"And this is?" Elise was the one to ask when seeing Lilith. When their eyes met, all of a sudden a chill slid under Lilith\'s skin. There was something about Elise\'s gaze that set a striking difference compared to her usual gaze. It was colder and ruthless.

"She is my wife," Maroon was the one who spoke with politeness as he could feel the same pressure on Elise that reminded him of his first time seeing Ian. It was a pressure that could drive a person into the corner. "Lilith Salyn."

Elise didn\'t immediately talk. She momentarily took a silent look and stared at Lilith. "You were brought back to life by the dark sorcerer lord didn\'t you?"

Lilith had planned to answer it truthfully. She wasn\'t choosing on the evil side on purpose but default and if she could stay by Maroon by being honest, she thought coming transparent would be he best approach to regain trust but seeing Elise\'s blue eyes that narrows, she could feel the deadly threats that warned her of what would occur if she answered with a bit of lies.

"Yes, he was the one who brought me back," answered Lilith.

"Did you see anyone\'s faces there that you could remember?" Elise then questioned. What she needed the most now was the identity of the dark sorcerer before coming to find out who the angel was.

"I remembered Thomas and Caleb. They are one of the only fews whom I had the chance to see. It hadn\'t been two weeks since I came back alive," answered Lilith.

"Caleb?" Leviathan questioned, "Is that the name of the second generation Diablo? He died didn\'t he?"

"He came back alive in my foster brother\'s body," answered Elise to her father. "We met not too long ago in Hell." She then clenched her hands when she count how many enemies they had to face now but the reason for her to clench her hand wasn\'t fear it was anger because deep down Elise knew that even killing those who are her enemies won\'t put the raging wrath inside her heart to calm down.

"Do you remember where you were brought back to life?" Elise questioned to Lilith again and she nodded in response. Maroon who could read Elise\'s expression before now could feel how in less count of hours he had lost the ability while looking at Elise. One thing he can noted was only anger that didn\'t seem like it would calm down anytime soon. "It is better to come to that place and check it as soon as possible. They would have changed their place by now but seeing the place is a good idea. One last question Lilith—" Lilith\'s red eyes met with Elise\'s blue ones although Elise\'s eye color had always been calm against the red ones now had defeated other\'s eyes by its fury. "—Did you killed anyone in this mansion?"

"My lady she—" Maroon\'s lips were closed as a shadow who had regained the form of a human shouted by intense black fog covered his mouth with its long claw-like hands.

"I need the truth," Elise said while looking at Lilith. "I have stopped trusting in people. And I won\'t. Now I will only trust myself and what my shadow can show me because all liars in the end cannot hide themselves from what they have done. Answer me, Mrs. Lilith Salyn."

The ball on Lilith\'s neck moved as she gulped down her saliva, "I did not. Mila ordered me to kill Maroon."

Elise\'s expression twisted worse when hearing Mila\'s name but she casted her ears aside, "Now you two can leave."

"The room?" Maroon questioned as his mouth was released because he could sense that what Elise meant wasn\'t simply leaving the very room they were present in.

"Everything. Awayfrom here," Elise corrected him. "This Castle and the life here. You have gotten what you wanted, both of you and now is your time to face your own lives outside from this castle. Forgetting about demons and angels will earn you two a peaceful life until the rest of your life."

Maroon was taken aback, "I would like to stay here, Lady Elise."

Elise only looked at them she was about to speak when Esther said, "Maybe it would be better if they stay here for a while until everything dies down and we can talk about this again."

Elise whose expression was bleak let out a very faint sigh and nodded. "You two should leave for now." Maroon wanted to help but he knew he doesn\'t have a place to have a say on this. Therefore he nodded and left with Lilith.

"What was your plan, Lucifer?" Elise questioned him once. "I called your name, I tried and I did but you didn\'t come." It was during the moment that Elise ran through the corridor searching for Ian that she remembered she should called for Lucifer\'s name but the man didn\'t come.

"You called my name?" Lucifer gritted his teeth again. His veins popped on his forehead out of anger. "It must have been interfered by whatever magic that is casted inside the mansion. I can feel they had put on many magics here to weaken a demon\'s power both yours and Ian\'s."

So it wasn\'t that Mila was only getting stronger but they were also getting weaker with the casted magic that had been used here.

"Instead, Levi you said you know how to bring back Ian. I have never heard of a decisive method to bring back the dead," Lucifer spoke with narrowed eyes.

Elise also had some doubt inside her, "You weren\'t lying to me, aren\'t you?"

Leviathan could see the plead on Elise as the girl\'s wish to bring back her husband was so fragile. It was as if she couldn\'t handle one more person to lie to her and Leviathan didn\'t want to sadden her daughter anymore than she already was. "There\'s a way. You might ask me why I didn\'t try it when your mother died but there are certain things in this method that only a few selective people could fulfill. And I trust your husband could."

Elise promptly nodded. One kindle of hope was all she needed, "What should I do first?"

Leviathan heaved his breaths as if it was the most difficult thing to do. "We have to first meet your grandfather and have a talk to him. Seeing that he is the most crucial person in this ritual."
