Chapter 222 - How Annoying!
**********************************************
The Archdemon of Lust
Prince Luxen from the 2nd Circle of Hell
**********************************************
Luxen stopped flapping his Archdemon wings in the air and completely submerged himself into the water.
The last thing he saw above the surface was Camio\'s slanted eyes widening while his mouth opened in shock.
It was comical how Camio had extended his hand as if to help Luxen from drowning.
There was a strong splash as he dove into the lake.
Water had enveloped his body, and Luxen had never been so annoyed.
As his lips pressed into a white slash, Luxen placed his hand on his collar before he removed his robes and ripped his shirt off to make his heavy winged body seemed lighter.
Luxen grimaced.
The more he stayed in the water, the more the hole on his Arcdemon wing throbbed.
He heard loud splashes in quick successions.
Luxen realized the rest of the henchmen had dipped into the water with him.
He had to find the angel blade quick before they did.
It was ten against one.
Naturally, He wasn\'t a good swimmer because Luxen had been used to flying to short distances.
If it were from Kingdom to Kingdom or visiting that night club and bar at the Underworld, named \'Ouroboros,\' he would use his prized animals, and monsters Sloth had tamed for the sole purpose of transportation.
The Archdemon of Sloth was an expert in training these pets despite the laziness.
\'Ouroboros\' was a nightclub owned by Hades where creatures from Hell and the Underworld hang out.
Angels from the First Heaven was the lowest one from the ranks.
It was a just a step layer closer to the Underworld where the fallen angels and Nephilims—half angels and half-demons—reside.
The night club had settled at the horizontal boundary between the Underworld and Hell, and angels from first heavens were rampant.
Angels in midheaven can also sneak inside \'Ouroboros\'.
Luxen had smuggled an angel blade from an adventurous angel from the Fourth Heaven.
Some angels on the higher levels of heaven visited the club when they had business to investigate demons, but it was rare.
They were on different Realms but they existed on the same plane.
When it came to depth, Hell was leveled to Tartarus.
Holding his breath, Luxen bit his cheek in frustration.
Luxen must be far away from Camio as soon as possible.
Closing his eyes, Luxen paused in the middle of his dive to focus his mind on the angelic runes marked on the angel blade with his senses so that he would be able to find them faster.
He had easily found the angel blade despite how large and deep the frozen lake was.
The First-made Archdemons from Hell had an inert capability to detect weapons used by angels as a survival mechanism so that they knew whom to avoid.
The First-made had passed their angel magic-detecting ability to the pureblood Archdemons born under the royal family.
Luxen had used this knowledge to his advantage.
When he felt which direction the angel blade had dropped off to, Luxen opened his eyes and quickly swam towards it without waiting for Camio to figure out what he had been up to.
Luxen looked over his shoulder and frowned at the henchman who was still stalking him with a single-minded focus.
Despite his sore wings, Luxen swam faster to reach further depths, but Camio was still in his trail.
How fucking annoying!
\'Why was the henchman so determined to talk to him and refused to leave him alone?\' Luxen berated. \'Did the henchman have a crush on him? What if he found out that he was looking for the angel blade? \'
Luxen had turned his body to face Satan\'s henchman with narrowed eyes.
He opened his mouth to tell him off.
He was about to confront the man for his behavior, but he forgot that he was still underwater.
Luxen gasped, and bubbles came out of his nose and lips and he abruptly closed them.
He lifted both of his hands and leveled them to his chest, palms out.
If Camio didn\'t get the hint, Luxen would probably kill him before finding the angel blade.
Camio was supposed to be chasing after Luna!
She was supposed to be their captive, and they weren\'t doing their job saving her.
Finally, the leader of the henchman got the hint.
Camio\'s brows furrowed before placing a hand over his chest and left him alone to find the angel blade.
The henchman should save Luna fast.
Luxen bit his lip as he flailed around.
He was losing his oxygen as he swam deeper and further until he reached a particular huge rock formation underneath the frozen lake.
Luxen could feel the power of the angelic runes around this spot.
Luxen wasn\'t wrong.
He saw something glistened at the corner of his eye, and that was when he found it.
The angel blade was stuck between a red coral with white spots (or perhaps, they were eyes) and the large boulder.
The moment Luxen went closer to the red coral, he swept his long silver hair covering his forehead and out of his eyes before he stretched his hand and reached for the handle.
The tip of the blade was stuck in a small white cavity and the moment Luxen pulled it out, a black webbed hand shot out and abruptly grabbed his hand.
Glancing up, his eyes widened with shock when his eyes met the creature.
Alert, Luxen pulled his hand right away when the thing moved towards him.
It attempted to chomp on his fingers.
The angel blade fell from his clutches.
His nails elongated in anger as a preparation for tearing these monsters apart.
Luxen couldn\'t afford to be distracted by this ugly creature.
He saw shadows in his peripheral vision.
The black ugly creature had called out its squad with long flowing hairs as they swam with him in unison.
Luxen didn\'t expect that this frozen lake had been infested with demon sirens.
