Author:

This is another possibility of chapter twenty-two¹, this is a branch, not main text, not BE, but [counterattack²] pay attention! [Counterattack] Attention! Don't enter if you don't like it, don't tell me. A simple Q and A for ky's sake:

Q: The first post didn't say there was a counterattack, why is there a counterattack?

A: The first floor said HE, and there are four BE branches. It's all the same. As soon as the non-main text is finished, just skip it if you don't like it. It doesn't affect it.

(T/N: If you're too lazy to scroll all the way down, it means a changing in position. Lemuel, the bottom, is going to top Enoch)

Q: Didn't you reply before that there wouldn't be a counterattack?

A: I replied that I didn't hate that, but only hated the statement "if you're stronger, then you should top", and I started to pinch them later, so I applied for a ticket. There's no should or should not, only cute or not cute. Please tell me, don't point your pitchforks, be grateful.

-Have you read the above warning and are ready for the counterattack?

A. No → No update today, check it out next time!

B. Yes → Continue below

"Why?" Lemuel asks, "What did you do?"

Enoch remains silent.

It wasn't a silence of refusing to answer, Lemuel even saw a little confusion in it, like his inquiry was something strange, that he should've understood- yet Lemuel didn't understand at all. Because of intercourse with the same sex? Because of some inexplicable ordinance in the church? Lemuel felt powerless. He felt like he had never really touched the priest's world, just like how mortals could never really touch the clouds in the sky.

The priest didn't stand up, he still knelt before the cross, before Lemuel, waiting for the anger of retribution to fall. It suddenly made Lemuel frustrated. The anger was still there, but for a moment, frustration overshadowed it, like an ice cap forming on the top of a volcano. This repressed pain made Lemuel want to scream, break something, turn around and leave, and put the quilt over his head so that he can just close his eyes and sleep. He did close his eyes, wiping his face, and laughing self-deprecatingly.

A. "What right do I have to take care of you." → See Chapter 22

B. "Do you want pain?" → Continue below

"You want pain?" Lemuel says, "Then I'll give you some pain."

He grabbed Enoch by the shoulder and pushed the priest to the ground. Enoch doesn't resist, quietly lying on his stomach until Lemuel began to take off his pants, the demon rips off the remnants of the priest's trousers. He grabs his hair, presses his face down on the ground, and drags him into a kneeling position. Enoch looks back in astonishment, like he just realized that the other doesn't want to physically hurt him, but to do something else.

This scene is like one that happened on a bathroom floor a long time ago, only that the positions were now switched. In fact, it's actually completely different from what it looks like. Even though Lemuel is stronger than Enoch, even if his sharp claws are fixed on the priest's head, a prayer would be all it takes to reverse the situation. The sentences were already formed on the tip of Enoch's tongue, like frost forming on a glass window.

"Are you going to pray?" Says Lemuel, like he expected it, "Like before?"

Enoch stops.

"Go ahead. No, you don't even have to say it, just saying it in your head can make me curl up on the ground. You can kick me like a dog, you can tell me not to move. And I can't move. Whether you want to fuck me, kick me, or pour holy water in my bowels. Guess what that feels like? No, you wouldn't know, and how could you know, you're a great fucking priest and I'm a demon, aren't you? You can do whatever you want to me and I have no fucking way to fight back, so be happy!" Lemuel growls, "Come on, do it again!"
