Chapter 29

READER'S POV

We were taking a tour around the Demon Lord's Castle until we came across a painting of Asmo's ex-girlfriend and she was so mad that she sent him including myself, Raven, Mammon, Levi, Beelzebub and Solomon. We ended up in an labyrinth where we were chased by a snake that turned out to be Levi's pet called Henry 1.0. Right now, Solomon was telling us about his plan how we can get out of here without being eaten alive along with some help from Asmodeus.

"Are you thinking of using Asmo to mesmerize the snake?" Beelzebub asked Solomon.

"Exactly. We should make use of Asmodeus's natural charm. If he can manage to tame Henry and win him over, then maybe he'd be willing to show us the way out of the labyrinth," Solomon told us the plan.

"Ah, okay...yes. Well, I suppose I could do that. You know, it really should be illegal to be so stunningly beautiful that you can even charm a snake. I'm so attractive sometimes I scare myself."

"...Yikes," Beel spoke.

"Ah, so you find it scary too, Beel? I mean, I'm not surprised," Asmo spoke up.

"No, I said that because I think he just spotted us.. Henry, I mean."

We turned around and there he was, Henry 1.0 was coming towards us.

"My dear Henry 1.0..!" Levi shouted.

Henry hissed at us in aggression before charging towards us.

"Whoa whoa WHOA! It's comin' this way! It's TOTALLY comin' this way!" Mammon shouted in panic before running away.

Raven whimpered in fear before hiding in my shadow. Solomon cracked his knuckles before he told us.

"Right! I'll begin by using magic to amplify Asmodeus's powers. Then Asmo, you mesmerize Henry. The amplification process is going to take a bit of time. So Mammon, (Y/n), you two distract Henry in the meantime."

"WHA?! Distract him? How're we s'posed to do-"

"Shut up and get out there!" I shouted at him before shoving Mammon.

"HEEEEY! What's the big idea pushin' me right out into it's path?! I mean, come on!" Mammon complained.

"Okay, Asmo, I take it you're ready?" Solomon asked Asmo.

"Yep, go right ahead."

"WHATEVER! JUST DO IT ALREADY!" Mammon shouted in a panick.

"...Denizens of the darkness, awaken! You who are born of shadow, hear me! I am the one called Solomon. call upon you now to lend your power to Asmodeus, Avatar of Lust!"

"Ooh yes, I LIKE this! I'm SO turned on right now!" Asmo spoke with a grin.

Henry hissed at us before Mammon hid behind me to use me as a shield.

"AAAAAH! HERE IT COMES! HERE IT COMES! HERE IT COMES...!"

"Why are you using me as a shield?" I asked him before Asmo worked his magic and I mean that literally.

"That's right, Henry. Look me in the eyes...Yes, that's a good boy."

Asmo spoke softly as the snake's widen and then he came to a complete halt after looking into Asmo's eyes.

"...He stopped in his tracks," Beel spoke with a surprised look on his face.

"My Henry 1.0..." Levi mumbled.

"What's that now? ...Well, how about that. He says he'll show us the way out of the labyrinth!" Asmo spoke in a cheery tone.

"Nice job, Asmo!" Solomon praised him.

"Well, really, did you expect anything less of me?" Asmo questioned Solomon.

"I'm just glad he's decided not to eat me," Mammon spoke in a relief tone.

"Mm, grilled snake..." Beel mumbled as we followed Henry out of the labyrinth.

We got to the exit and after Asmo, Levi, Beel and Mamoon went ahead of us, I looked at Henry and said to him.

"Thanks for leading us out of here. You know you're not so bad, when you're not trying to eat us."

"*Hiss! Hissss!!* ( You're welcome, young lady)" Henry told me before licking my cheek which made me laugh.

Henry went back in the maze and then Solomon spoke up with a smile on his face.

"Do you always have this effect on the demons in the human world?"

"Sometimes it works with a friendly demon but when it comes to ones who are evil and trying to eat me, not so much. Now can we please get out of here before he decides to come back and have us for dinner," I told Solomon before leaving.

After we left the labyrinth, we found Diavolo and the others. We were having dinner and we told them about what happened after we got sucked into the painting and Diavolo looked happy and relieved to see that we were still alive and well.

"I see. So that's how you managed to make it safely out of the underground labyrinth..."

"Too bad. If you'd stayed lost in there for another 5000 years or so, it would've been a bit quieter and more peaceful around here in the Devildom," Lucifer spoke with a small frown on his face.

"Hey Think about WE'D fell bein' stuck down there that long! Man, that wasn't cool..." Mamoon spoke with a frown.

"Well, in any event, it really is awful that you got caught up in this mess, Solomon," Simeon spoke up.

"Yeah, AWFUL! Ugh, when you associate with demons, bad things always happen, don't they? Truly awful things!" Luke exclaimed.

"Actually, I ended up enjoying myself in a way. Sure, it was a complete accident, but I did get to go inside the rumoured underground labyrinth, after all," Solomon spoke with a small smile before he had that thinking look on his face.

"Still though, I can't help but wonder why there's a labyrinth underneath the castle to begin with, or what Henry doing down there."

"Hmm, I suspect I may know the answer to-" Diavolo's sentence was cut off when we heard loud munching and crunching sounds coming from the dining table.

"Mmm, this is SO good...and that, too...oh, and THAT! I'll have more - of everything."

Ever since we came back from our little adventure, Beel has been stuffing his face with all different kinds of meals that Barbatos has made for him and I don't blame him, he's been complaining about being hungry since we were sucked into that painting and into the labyrinth.

"I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that you like it. I wanted tonight's Devildom feast to be something special."

"You know, now that I think about it, the whole reason we were able to escape was because of me and how stunningly beautiful I am! <3"

"Yeah, but you were also the reason all of yu ended up in the labyrinth to begin with, Asmo," Satan spoke with a frown.

"Right, that's what I'm sayini. That was terrible, and it was all YOUR fault, Asmo!" Mammon spoke with a frown.

"You really should be careful in the castle. There are a number of items here with suspicious histories to them. I can't guarantee that there aren't others in the castle who also want to get even with you, Asmodeus," Diavolo warned him.

"*Sighs*...it's just wrong to be this beautiful..." Asmodeus whined.

"Ugh, forget it. He's hopeless. He doesn't even think he did anythin' wrong!" Mammon spoke with a frown.

***

After we had dinner, we went back to our assigned rooms to get some shut eye. Raven went into the room and then he leapt onto my bed and he laid down on his back.

"Phew...man I am so full..."

"I'm not surprised. You kept stealing food from Beel and Simeon's plate," I told him before rubbing Raven's belly.

"Well, time for me to get some sleep. Nighty-night, you two!" Asmo spoke with a smile before he went to his bed and he fell asleep instantly.

"You're going to bed already? It's awfully early for that," Simeon commented.

"Lack of sleep leads to unhealthy skin and I don't want that! I'm sure both of you want to see me looking my best, right?"

"Well, I suppose that means that I'll get to enjoy some peace and quiet tonight, which is much appreciated," Simeon spoke with a smile.

"That's great and all but Simeon, I think you're forgetting about-" My sentence was cut off when the door unexpectedly slammed open which caused Raven to jump onto his feet and growling at the culprit.

"HEEEEEY! Look who's here...it's Mammon! And you know what that means?! You ain't gonna be gettin' ANY sleep tonight! AHAHAHA!"

"The demon who is known as the idiotic brother," I finished my sentence before Mammon continued.

"All right! all right! all right! Time for a pillow fight deathmatch with the Avatar of Greed himself! LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLE!"

Simeon and I sat there in silence after Mammon's revelation before he asked Asmo.

"...Asmo, he's your brother, isn't he? Do you think you could possibly do something about him?"

We looked at Asmo and he was already asleep which took us by surprise.

"OH NO, UH-UH! You're not gonna fool ME, pretending' to be asleep! Right, so it's gonna be me and (Y/n) versus Simeon and Asmo! So c'mon, get up already, Asmo!" Mammon announced.

"All right all right all right! Let's get started before that ass Lucifer comes 'round on patrol and starts botherin' us!"

"Too late now," I told him before Mammon looked at me with a confused look. I pointed behind him before Lucifer spoke up.

"I'm sorry. Who did you just call an ass?"

"Gah...!" Mammon shouted in fright.

"You know, I don't want to spend my evening patrolling the halls, nor did I want to bother you. But I recieved word that a certain dimwit tried to sneak inside the castle vault. So as much as I'd like to rest now, I can't. Isn't that right, Mammon?" Lucifer told us before glaring at Mammon.

Mammon backed away from Lucifer before he spoke nervously. "Ah...y'know what? I suddenly feel sooo tired... Maybe I'll just...go back to my room and, uh...sleep."

"MAAAAMMOOOOOON?" Lucifer yelled.

"Yikes!"

Raven whimpered in fear before ducking into my shadow to hide from the angry Lucifer.

"You're coming to my room. Now. And tonight it's not going to be just me in there, but Diavolo as well. I have a feeling we're going to have all sorts of fun, don't you?" Lucifer asked with a sadistic smile on his face.

"D'aaaah! N-Now just calm down, Lucifer! At least spare my life...please, I'm BEGGIN' you!" Mammon shouted as Lucifer dragged him out of the room.

"Is it safe?" Raven asked as he peaked out of my shadow.

"It's safe," I chuckled before he came out of hiding and then he climbs back onto my bed.

"Well. It seems as though we'll get a peaceful night's sleep after all, doesn't it?" Simeon asked with a smile.

"Looks like it," I smiled back before laughing.
