Chapter 874 Uriel Should Not Be Trusted

874  Uriel Should Not Be Trusted

Moranda bowing before lenny took Coco by surprise. After all, Moranda was his lord. yet, he was bowing to a halfborn human like Lenny. But Moranda could not be bothered about this. Instead, he remained bowed in submission.

Regardless Of the lengthy Introduction, lenny could not believe what he had just heard. Basically, this person before him, known as Moranda was actually a Cup Bearer to Lucifer. This was a person that had ben imprisoned for a very long time. According to the memories that Lenny had gotten from the baroness, Moranda had been imprisoned for at least two centuries. His imprisonment naturally came with intense inhumane torture and that was why his power level had dropped so much. And yet, he was as strong as a peak Great Demon rank existence like him. This meant that only he that needed to hold the cup that morningstar used was far more powerful than lenny currently was. All of a sudden, lenny felt as if the hardships that he had gone through had all been for nothing. After all, he was not even up to the strength of a cup bearer. This was a very humbling blow. Nevertheless, Lenny could not think of that one yet. Instead, he had many questions that he needed to ask Moranda. "What do you mean by 'Lucifer Royal family'?" lenny asked. Moranda stood to his feet as he explained. "There are nine royal families under the Morningstar. From what I gather, you have already met some. Not all the royal families agree with the master, but all royal families submit to his power. At least that was so before the rebellion of the other houses. Master had used his power, to crack down on the cosmic law in other to bring the apocalypse to the eight earth. This was a ritual he had done several times before. Because of his incredible power, it had to be done outside time itself. It was while he did this that he was backstabbed by the other lords with the aid of the foreign gods."

"Foreign gods!?" Lenny raised a brow.

Moranda nodded, "yes, these are unrecognized entities in the hierarchy of power. They control the most subtle part of existence, peeling away forces of the natural order to fuel their power and call their domain. From what I gather, even humans worship some of them. Most of them are very nasty, and will do anything for the hunger of power. Hence, their plan to still master's divinity." Lenny heard those words, and registered them well in his head. And then he spoke up, "You said that the royal families were in on backstabbing the master. What of your own family?" Moranda still on one knee responded respectfully, "I am sure that you have noticed by now. After all, the other families call us Devils. Master lucifer had blessed the other royal families including those banished in hell with blood of his veins, and that his why they are known as the royal. However, that was only eight families. The ninth family, we were blessed with the blood from his heart after the corruption. It is for this reason that we carry chaos in an unbridled form. The reason for our existence is actually a very simple one. We are to put the other royal families in line. You could say that we were both the police and servants of the master."

Lenny had caught those words loud and clear, "What do you mean by 'Were'?"

"As you can see, for them to fall the master, they had to also come for us. The strongest and bravest of us stood to fight. many of our brethren died in the process. Some like myself were captured and tortured for information, and the others flee into hiding. From what I know, they are hiding in Hell."

Lenny now understood why Demons were so afraid of devils. Chaos magic was literally a poison to demons because that was the way lucifer intended it to be. Thinking this far, Lenny had to admit that Cuban and lady Everbee were geniuses. These two were able to actually achieve chaos magic and put it not only in humans but learn to merge it with darkline magic. From what lenny knew, if these two had actually returned back to the Asmodeus family, only their achievements in this field would see that they would be praised regardless of their past transgressions. But if they presented Lenny who could use all three, chaos magic, darkline magic, and Holy power, they would be be greatly rewarded.

Unfortunately for them, Lenny was not willing to be any one's toy. Lenny pointed to Uriel still in his prison, "And what of him?" Lenny asked moranda. Lenny asked this question because just like Moranda, and Vandora, Uriel also referred to him as master's beloved. In lenny's experience, only those that had a certain level of loyalty and dedication to the Morningstar referred to him in that manner. However, there was something off about Uriel. Something Lenny could not place his fingers on. Moranda suddenly spoke up with a frown on his face. "I do not know what you are thinking, but know this, fallen angels are more devious than even demons. Demons and devils carry darkline and chaos. But Angels are an entirely different story. They carry corrupted holy power. Especially this one. Uriel is a fallen that is most known in the cosmos. Every royal house hunts him for the Codex."

"And what is the codex?" Lenny asked.

Moranda shook his head, "forgive me, master's beloved. I have no knowledge of this. All I know is that he was able to steal it from master himself."

"Hmmm!" Lenny suddenly placed a hand on his head as he fell deep into thought. He was an assassin by nature and was indeed vast in the act of torture, especially to get what he wanted. However, Lenny knew his limitations. The royal demon family of Asmodeus had been in existence for many thousands of years. If they could not think of a way to make Uriel talk regardless of the kind of pain that was inflicted on him, lenny knew the skills he had would not work. There was only one option, and that was to free him...
