Chapter 244: 7 Generals
(This chapter isn"t edited yet)
As he approached Carlos" house, Noah didn"t even bother coming down from the air and simply transported himself mid-flight into the bunker after just floating in the air without moving for a second.
Seeing an explosion of fire followed by a knight with a large pair of black wings retracting on his back startled the people inside, which made Noah chuckle a little as he took off his helmet.
"It will scare those who have the courage!" Carlos yelled at Noah as he pointed his finger at him and breathed heavily.
Carlos was distracted playing chess with his father and nearly had a heart attack after hearing the explosion of Noah"s teleportation.
"Haha, what kind of Rank D are you that get scared so easily? What if I was an enemy?" Noah asked jokingly.
"I felt a connection to the flames right when you emerged, if not for that I would have thrown a Fire Ball at you out of fright, idiot." Carlos explained.
"Sugarplum." Noah praised.
"Noah, you"re back!" Maggy broke into a cute smile as she ran to Noah and hugged him, not caring about the armor filled with ash and dried blood.
She was very concerned for Noah"s safety, as much as she trusted her older brother and knew how strong he was, yet she couldn"t control her little heart for him.
"It"s alright princess, how could you be my princess if I wasn"t your king? Don"t worry, a king will never abandon her princess." Noah said in a loving voice as he ruffled Maggy"s hair.
"These wings are like his...it"s hard to get used to." Bel said shyly as she eyed Noah"s wings absently.
Lilith who was currently on Bel"s shoulder whispered something in his ear apparently to comfort the boy.
Seeing how he was doing, Noah knew this couldn"t be delayed any longer.
"How about we talk? I have a room upstairs that the aunt always keeps tidy for me, let"s go?" Noah asked peacefully.
Hearing this, Bel hesitated a little, before finally agreeing. As much as a lot was going on for him at the same time, he knew he should have this conversation with this young man who looked a lot like his father.
Seeing this, Carlos" mother called Maggy to play with her, so that she wouldn"t feel lonely after Bel left to talk to Noah, while Carlos and Fernando restarted the game of chess, as Carlos had dropped the board when he got scared. with Noah.

"You are identical to him." Bel said as she stared at Noah.
"To your father?" Noah asked.
"Yes…even though he is my father, we were never close." Bel lamented.
"I"m sorry about that, my parents died too. My father died when I was very young, and my mother died a few years ago, leaving only Maggy and me from our original family." Noah was sorry too.
Bel looked at Noah surprised by this, he didn"t imagine the two of them had a similar story.
"Why do you look so much like my dad, smell like him, have his wings, control his flames, and hang around with my mom?" Bel asked genuinely curious. There were too many coincidences to ignore, if he didn"t know Noah was telling the truth a few seconds ago, he really wouldn"t believe he wasn"t his father right now in front of him.
"Actually I was chosen as the descendant of Lucifer, hence so many similarities." Noah said casually.
But Bel"s reaction caught him off guard.
"What?!!! You"ve become Lucifer"s descendant?! Holy s.h.i.t, so this is going to be even more work..." Bel has complementedly lost the composure of a young n.o.bleman who follows etiquette, to a young man completely shocked and scared.
"Because?!" Noah asked confused.
"Well... it"s like that, in h.e.l.l, below Lucifer there are the 7 demons of capital sin. They are the 7 generals of Lucifer, completely loyal to him, but this also brings a burden to Lucifer, as they like the strength of these 7 generals is strong, this means that Lucifer must deserve the strength of these generals, that is, if Lucifer really wants to command these generals he must win each one of them in a deadly battle. If Lucifer wins, the general will serve him, if Lucifer loses, he will die. My father battled the generals every 1,000 years." Bel explained patiently, reverting to the calm demeanor of a young n.o.bleman.
"And did he miss any?" Noah asked curiously, after all, apparently Lucifer was dead.
"No, it was 499 victories for my father and 0 victories for the generals." Bel responded with a little embarra.s.sment.
"Why aren"t you proud of him?" Noah asked.
"Because I"m one of the generals, Beelzebub, General Gula." Bel replied as she scratched the back of her neck in embarra.s.sment.
For a second Noah was blank. There were 499 wins for Lucifer, so that meant Bel was almost 500,000 years old?!
"How old are you?" Noah asked shocked.
"This year I will turn 543,167! In 56,833 years I will officially become a teenager!" Bel responded with pride as she made a "V" with her fingers.
"Does it take 600k years to become an adult among demons? Wow..." Noah was shocked. If that was the age of a child, what would be the true age of the original Lucifer and Lilith? Noah didn"t even want to imagine that.
"But why did you say "that would be a lot more work"?" Noah asked worriedly.
"Well... remember I said battles happened every 1,000 years? It"s only 2 years until the next battle, and if Lucifer doesn"t show up, his descendant must come in place to take the throne." Bel told Noah shocking news.
"And how strong are the generals?" Noah asked a little scared.
"Using human parameters, the weakest general has the strength of a blessed Rank S." Bel said matter-of-factly.
Hisss.... Noah sucked in a breath of cold air.
