"You can call me Lord Lucifer here"
"Dark Queen would do"
The both of them said to their new butler.
"We can discuss about him later. Now tell me why can't I sense their magical fluctuations?" Gaya asked, gently brushing her hands over the hydra's warm body. The hydra remained eyes closed.
"I think it's his presence that stopping me from sensing the energy around them"
"I dont think so" Michael didn't think what she said was true.
"Oh they're waking up" Just as Michael was about to ask the system, Gaya saw the heads slowly opening their eyes. They had grown double in size. It was like they had grown from the size of a week-old puppy to a month-old puppy. Now the wings looked more noticeable than before.
"Shit I feel good"
"Me too," the silver head said after the white head. The blackhead tried to sense the changes in their body in silence.
"Come on, let's see we can fly" In their excitement, the hydra failed to notice the demon butler as well as the gazes of Michael and Gaya. The Hydra tried to flap its wings, hoping to take off from Gaya's hand.
"Aren't they cute?!" seeing them bouncing on her hand, Gaya's eyes sparkled. She immediately squeezed the hydra against her chest showing them with kisses.
"Lord Lucifer, do you have any orders for me?" Azazel asked.
"Are you familiar with the Abyssal's layouts?"
"Since I'm bound to the Abyssal, I know this place like the back of my hand. I can feel Dular and Aria in their rooms"
"Let's go meet them shall we?" Michael made his way towards the door.
"I'll bite your face off woman!" the white head cursed Gaya. In Gaya's eyes, they looked cuter when they are mad. Therefore, she continued to caress them before following Michael.
Although the ethereal form of the butler let him hover above the ground, he actually moved like he was walking.
"Lord Lucifer, I should take the liberty of cleaning this place. I might need to borrow a few undeads from Dular" Azazel asked Michael after noticing the dust-covered walls and floor. By imagining him as a butler as well as making him learn the book of butler, Michael had turned the demon into a professional butler.

"I think you broke our demon. Why is he looking and talking like a butler?"
"Don't you want a demon for your butler? I do" Michael said while walking towards Aria's room which was the armory before he turned it into a room to accommodate Aria and her brothers.
"I hope you'll come to love your life Azazel," Michael said.
"Serving you is what I love Lord Lucifer. Being your butler is the greatest gift a demon like me could get"
"I like him," Gaya nodded approvingly.
"Seems like you have a lot to do here demon," the white head said looking at the walls.
"I'll transform the Abyssal in a few days, Lady..." his voice trailed off as Michael halted his steps for a moment to look at Azazel,
"How may I address the three of them Dark Queen, Lord Lucifer? As far as I know, you haven't named them yet"
"She's Ayag, he's Sarba and the black is Cain. Together, they shall be called VEDORA!" she raised her hand high beaming with pride and excitement. She made the scene as theatrical as possible with her voice and movements
"You just spelled your name backward and named her and spelled Abras backward and named him didn't you?"
"The names sound cool, that's all it matters" she gave a thumbs up to him.
The white head rolled its eyes yet did not disagree with its name Ayag. The silver head who got the name Sarba had sparkles in its eyes. As usual, the blackhead remained unemotional.
Since the names did sound cool, Michael accepted the names. The moment he accepted the names in his mind, a bell sound ringed in his mind.
[Congratulations for getting a new familiar, Vedora the three-headed hydra]
Ignoring to look at the familiar tab for the time being, Michael came to Aria's room doorsteps. The door was closed but they could hear sobbing sounds coming from inside.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!

Michael knocked on the door thrice as the sobbing sound quickly stopped.

"Who's there?"
"Who do you think?" Gaya opened the door to see Aria sitting beside the large bed where her brothers were resting. There were tubes attached to Michael's healing potions running into their bodies. The twins slightly looked better than they were before as the scars caused by various experiments had almost disappeared from their bodies. Their hair and skin had more shininess indicating their physical recovery.
"Lord Lucifer, Dark Queen" Aria quickly stood up from the bed before kneeling down before them on one knee.
"Rise" Michael gestured to her to stand up. He then walked towards Titus and Optimus.
"Their bodies and souls are healing faster than I expected" Except for fewer scars on their bodies, he saw no difference yet he lied to make Aria feel better. He planned to heal the twins using the badass points but unfortunately, he had to spend most of his points on Azazel. Compared to the twins, waking Azazel seemed more important than the twins.
"What does that mean, Lord Lucifer?" Aria wiped off the tears from her face. Her hands and legs shivered looking at Azazel. Just his ethereal form freaked her out a little so she avoided direct eye contact with him.
"They are recovering Aria. You might see them waking up sooner than you expect but it'll take time to regrow their limbs"
"Really?" finally her lips slightly curved upwards revealing a relaxed smile.
"Now, have you finished the task I gave you?"
It had been almost five months since he met Mathias, the Broad River sect leader. He ordered Ella to get as many students and teachers as she can and join the Sunrise Sect. Aria's task was to assassinate Mathias as Michael knew he would stand in his plan.
"I did what you asked, Lord Lucifer" Aria flicked her wrist as an empty vial appeared in her hand. Since Aria was a Body Refining stage cultivator and Mathias was at the Core Formation stage, Michael gave a powerful poison brewed by him to Aria to kill Mathias. He didn't say whether to poison Mathias's food or cut him with a blade smeared with the poison because he wanted Aria to think for herself.
"Good. Practice your combat skills using the Netherels. Since your body is adapting to the conditions here, you won't turn into an undead if they bite you"
"But it will hurt like hell, so avoid getting bitten" Gaya gave a piece of advice to Aria. After seeing how they treated slaves in the Southern continent, Gaya had a soft spot for Aria.
"Yes, Lord Lucifer" She was afraid of the undead. One could see the fear in her eyes. Yet she obeyed his orders regardless of her fears because she herself wanted to get tough. After all, she promised herself that she will never let anyone hurt her family ever again.
After giving Aria her next task, Michael left the room. While walking through the corridors towards Dular's room, Gaya turned her gaze at Azazel to see him open and close his mouth like he had something to ask but not sure whether he should.
"Do you have something to say Azazel?" Gaya asked,
"I prefer you speak your mind Azazel" Michael didn't stop or turn back but said while walking.
"As you wish, Lord Lucifer. I do have something to ask"
"What do you have in mind?" Michael asked.
"I know you had a good reason to lie to Aria, can you enlighten me on the why?"
Michael was surprised to see Azazel noticing his lie. He never thought Azazel could detect his lie without even seeing his face as he had the mask on his face to cover his micro-expressions.
"Sometimes, a lie can do more good than the truth" Azazel repeated his words in his mind. Eventually, they reached the doorsteps of Dular. There was no sobbing sound coming from the room but the growling sounds of the Netherels.
*************************************
After a few hours, Michael and Gaya reached the Abyssal, there were several people surrounding a bed. The house's interior and the furniture had the difference of black and white. The house looked ancient with several holes, long cracks in the walls, and worn-out pantries and wooden racks. However, the sofa, cushions, the tea table in the center of the hall, and the bed looked majestic. The house belonged to none other than Michael and Gaya. It was their sect house. Since Gaya ordered them not to touch anything until she returns from seclusion, the workers didn't renovate the house.
No one would enter Ghost's house except Raylene, little Cindy, and Nightmare. The first two would get inside the house to keep it from getting dust-covered. Nightmare usually rested with Claire as he was not used to sleeping alone.
However, at the moment, several people were inside Michael's bedroom itself.
"Please Cindy, just a little" Raylene was sitting on Michael's bed with a tiny bowl of soup in her hand. Cindy was lying on the bed covering up to her neck with Michael's blanket. The little girl was shivering. Her usual playful child smile was nowhere to be found.
"I want big brother and sister Aelia right now!" Cindy tried to raise her voice yet only a whisper came out of her mouth. Raylene turned her head helplessly looking at Claire.
"I don't want the bad man to hurt me like he did to brother Jack"
Raylene's eyes began to water up. Ever since Claire found out Jack's body in his own pool of blood, the little girl was severely traumatized. Not even Nightmare could calm her as the girl was asking for Ghost and Aelia. Raylene tried to take the girl home but she refused to leave Ghost's home.
"Look, if you drink this soup, I will bring Ghost and Aelia here" Claire sat beside Reylen gently brushing Cindy's forehead.
"You said the same thing yesterday," Cindy sobbed while tightly holding onto the blanket.
"Sect Leader Claire" suddenly a male disciple rushed into the home. He was taking heavy deep breaths in exhaustion.
"Brother Ghost...Brother Ghost and Sister Aelia has come out of the seclusion"
