Chapter 569: Close...

"Son... You mean you are their..."

"The woman who summoned you was my mother," Lucifer replied, bringing his mother's gloves out of his pocket. "That day, she was poisoned, and she was never found after that. She died there with my father."

"H-how? How are you here?" Amelia asked, not understanding. "A human coming to our world?"

"That's right. I accidentally ended up here because of a summoned beast. My friends are also humans. That's why we were trying to find a beast that is usually summoned so we could go back," Lucifer replied. 

He had also understood why he felt some familiarity from Amelia. It was because she was linked to his family through a special summoning bond. Even though his mother was gone, that bond still existed with his family and, in turn, with him. 

"I-i don't know what to say. It... I am sorry for not protecting your mother..."

"Don't worry about it. I've already come to terms with her death," Lucifer replied, patting his heart. "It's just that this weak heart of mine gets excited a bit too easily on occasions. What can I say, sometimes I return to my younger self."

"Anyway, this poison of yours... Is this the same one that my parents were affected with? Was their skin also green?" 

"It was. That was the case for everyone there." Amelia nodded. 

Lucifer stood up, approaching Amelia. He stepped on the water and walked on it. He used his wind to remain stabilized and prevented his clothes from getting wet. 

"W-what are you doing?" Amelia asked, moving back. 

"Stay right there."

Lucifer reached Amelia and started going inside the water without stopping. Soon, his body was also inside the water, with only his head remaining outside. 

He was facing Amelia while their bodies remained just a few feet away from each other. Unlike him, Amelia didn't have a shred of clothing on her body. 

She felt odd, being so close to a man without her clothes. She wondered if he could see something?

Lucifer reached out his hand and grabbed Amelia's hand as well. 

The same thing happened again. His hand started turning green. 

"W-what are you doing? Even if you're slightly immune, you would still suffer if you didn't leave fast! Your body might be destroyed!" Amelia yelled, trying to retrieve her hand, but Lucifer didn't free her hand. 

He didn't speak anything and just watched the green poison spreading in his body slowly. 

"What are you trying to do?" Amelia asked. 

"I'm trying to live the moment," Lucifer replied. "I want to experience what they experienced in their last moments... I want to be there with them..."

The poison couldn't kill him, so he wanted to go through what his family went through.

"This... Have you gone crazy?" Amelia asked, trying harder to free herself to free her. "You'll be hurt!"

Lucifer shook his head. "I won't be hurt with just this much. So let me... For a little bit." 

Amelia felt the sadness in his voice. She could understand how a kid would feel after hearing such things. However, she still didn't want to have him hurt. It was a scary poison. She didn't know about his healing and just thought that it was his immune system last time. 

In one place, she wanted to listen to him and let him do what he wanted. It was just holding her hand after all, but she worried for his safety, especially after knowing his real identity. She couldn't watch him die for his stupidity. 

She kept pushing herself back. Annoyed by her disturbance, Lucifer grabbed his other hand as well before pulling her closer. 

"Huh?" Amelia was stunned as her body was pulled close so easily. It was as if she was caught by a powerful man who had more strength than her. 

In her shock, she didn't realize when Lucifer wrapped his hand around her back. Since the poison was all around her body, he didn't just need to touch her hand. It was the same no matter where he touched. Moreover, it was easier to keep Amelia calm this way. 

"W-what are you doing?" Amelia felt stunned, feeling Lucifer's warm hands wrapped around her slim waist. For a moment, she even forgot where she was as her face turned red. 

Lucifer rested his chin on Amelia's shoulders. "Just let me be. Please..."

Even though he spoke slowly, Amelia heard each of his words clearly since his lips were so close to her right ear. 

"Y-you..." 

She wanted to say something, but only a squeaky voice came out of her mouth. She had come here to calm her body which was getting warm because of the poison. It was painful for her even though she didn't show it, but as soon as Lucifer touched her, it was as if he was sharing her pain. 

Her own pain decreased. Even though she was feeling slightly hot because of being hugged by a man when she wasn't wearing anything, it was different from the blazing heat she felt because of the position. It was a different kind of warmth. 

"You will be hurt if you don't let me go. Please don't hurt yourself," she weakly said.

"I won't. Just trust me and let me be," Lucifer replied. 

This time, Amelia didn't resist. She also felt slightly comfortable in the embrace, and since Lucifer was so confident and didn't look hurt, she gave in. 

The green poison had spread all around Lucifer's body slowly. Even the nerves in his neck had turned green. His face was still normal though. 

The poison couldn't reach his brain. And it couldn't reach his vital organs. The healing was keeping them safe and attacking the poison. 

At this point, the position had started losing the fight as Lucifer's healing became more familiar with the position and how to heal the damage. The green poison started being refined inside his body to increase his immunity.

After a few minutes, Amelia asked, "Are you really fine."

Lucifer didn't reply. He just kept his eyes closed. His breathing was calm, which was felt by Amelia as well. 

Moreover, her pain also kept decreasing. It was even more effective for her than taking a bath in the cold. The cold only controlled the heat and kept her alive, but she could still feel the pain. It was only now that she started feeling less pain from the poison. 

She couldn't gather her courage to push Lucifer back before such comfort.. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his back as well, returning the embrace as well.
