"I DEMAND AN ANSWER...RIGHT NOW!" Lucifer shouted to the cultists, with his aura putting pressure on them.
The leader of the cultists did not reply to Lucifer's question, he bowed his head and chanted something with a low voice.
"EAT THIS!" the leader shouted as he raised his right hand up and threw a fireball at Lucifer.
"...So you are wizards...but this is child's play!"
Lucifer simply used his left hand to catch the fireball, no injury at all.
"Before inviting someone to eat your cooking, you should try it first!" Lucifer said as he threw the fireball back at the leader of the cultist.
However, instead of being consumed by the fire, the leader turned into something different...something that looked like a humanoid monster with animal characteristics.
"Synthetic Chameleon!" the monster said "I don't know what you are, but you must die for destroying my human disguise and discovering my secret identity!"
The chameleon monster then dashed at Lucifer and used its tongue to attack the handsome demon, who easily dodged the attack and grabbed the tongue of the strange monster before using it to spin the monster like some spinning-top toys.
"AIEEEEE!" the monster screamed.
Lucifer then threw it away, the chameleon monster slammed down right next to Minoru.
"Ready to answer my question?" Lucifer asked.
Seeing Minoru, the chameleon immediately grabbed him.
"STOP! OR I'LL KILL THIS BOY!"
"...HAHAHAHAHA...I'm a demon and the life of a mere human doesn't concern me one bit."

"L...Lucy, save me." Minoru said with a low voice, almost inaudible.
However, upon hearing the low voice, Lucifer's heart skipped one beat.
(M...Minoru...he's here!)
"RELEASE HIM! OR ELSE!"
"Oh, so you do care about him! How about..."
Before the chameleon could finish his sentence, he found that his body's on fire...literally. However, the fire did not burn Minoru one bit.
"Hell's Fire...burn him!"
"ARGHHHHHH!" the chameleon monster fell down beside Minoru.
BOOM
It suddenly exploded. Fortunately, Lucifer had shielded Minoru from the explosion.
"It exploded...nothing remained." Lucifer looked at the place where the Synthetic Chameleon died.
----------------------------------------
"Minoru...stay with me!" Lucifer said as he held Minoru in his arms.
"L...Lucy...is it really you?"
"Who told you that nickname?...But yes, it's really me!"
"I'm...glad that you came...I don't want to become a sacrifice, it's hurt..." Minoru said as he moved closer to Lucifer's chest.
"I know...let's leave here!"
----------------------------------------
A few hours later, many police cars along with ambulances and fire engines arrived at the Devi nightclub and police stormed into the club. They managed to find the secret door that led to the underground room, where many people were lying on the ground, including many cultists.
"This is now a crime scene, put on the barriers! Do not allow anyone to enter without permission! Also get the medical team to treat the victims!"
"YES SIR!"
----------------------------------------
"...My head hurts so much..." Minoru said as he sat up.
"...Where is this? Minoru looked around but he could not recognize the place he was in, even the bed on which he had been sleeping.
It took a few minutes for Minoru to recollect what happened last night.
"AHHHH...the evil cultists...the sacrifice...monster...Lucifer!!!"
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Look like you wake up, Minoru!"
Minoru turned to look at the door and he could see the handsome black-haired demon, one of his boyfriends in Obey Me!
"I brought you breakfast, some oatmeal with eggs." Lucifer said as he put the food tray on the bed.
"How did you come here?"
"I don't know. It seemed that you did not summon me either. Those cultists were also clueless."
"Where are we?"
"A motel outside of the city. I figured that it would attract attention to us if I brought you to a hospital or hotel in the city while you were drugged. So I brought you here."
"Thanks!"
"...Hurry up and eat your breakfast while it's still hot."
Minoru felt warm inside his heart but he decided to not say it to Lucifer.
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city,
"This is the police, raise your hands up!"
All the people in the illegal casino immediately raised their hands up. They knew that they better cooperate with the authority before it became worse.
"Huh, huh, why am I here? And why am I arrested?" Mammon shouted.
