Vindicate || Devilish Sequel

Capitŭlum Quadraginta quīnque

Harry's POV

The scene disappeared into darkness and suddenly we were back in the boundaries. 

I looked at Lucifer speechless. 

A pleased smirk crawled across his face. "I told you you were going to like it." He jumped off the leather sofa and walked towards me.

"That was..." I could barely make a word. I was still taken aback from what I've just seen. 

He nodded. "Raiza's soul." The Devil rubbed his chin and then looked at me playfully. "Or should I call her Child of Light?"

"I didn't know you could 'create' a soul. I mean, that human..."

"Capricúo." He laughed. "That old man thought he could save the world. He wasn't doing it for that 'grater good' he preached so much though."

"Why do you say that? If he had managed to gain The Throne's trust-"

"I managed to gain his trust as well, and so did Judas. So what?" Lucifer shrugged. "The conjurer just wanted to be remembered as the 'Great Saviour' of humanity. It was just for his own selfish intentions. Humans are so predictable." He rolled his eyes and yawn. "And you can't create a soul, actually. Unless you've been 'blessed' by you-know-who."

"And Capricúo had been." I said. "The Throne had given him his blessing so he could end with darkness for once and for all."

"Exactly. Raiza was created to annihilate us." Lucifer got closer to my face. "And what did you do? Instead of taking her soul and becoming the most powerful demon, you fell in love with her. You fell in love with the one thing that can actually kill you." The Devil gave me a cheeky look and smirk. "Fraternising with the enemy, you naughty boy." 

I was about to say something when he put his hand on my chest and twisted it as he was ripping something out of it. "She can rip your heart out, just like that. Well... Metaphorically speaking, of course, since you don't have one." He looked at my face and started laughing. "You sure have a death wish, Harry."

I grabbed his hand and pulled it out of my chest abruptly. "I claimed her soul." I said, ignoring what the bastard had just said. I knew he was trying to make me doubt Raiza but I knew well enough she would never killed me. "You're underestimating humans' love."

"Am I really?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "You know how fragile human emotions are. So malleable."

I grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and lifted him up. "What the fuck are you plotting? TELL ME NOW!"

"I'm not plotting anything. When that exquisite soul dared to appear, Raiza's fate was sealed." The Devil said. "Her soul is the purest it has been seen in centuries – no, millennia. The only soul that can make this world succumb into darkness by making a selfish wish to the Mal'ake ha-Mavet."

"The one who makes a wish to the Mal'ake ha-Mavet will be trapped in the boundaries." I whispered to myself remembering an old legend about souls being trapped forever in the boundaries of this world and the other. That means- "Raiza's soul will be the one to be trap here!?"

I blinked a few times looking at my now empty hand with which I had him grabbed by the collar just a second away. Where had he gone?

"That's right. She will soon fulfil her destiny." His voice came from behind me. I turned around. Lucifer's devilish grin sent shivers down my spine. "Raiza was born to become the annihilator."

"You're wrong! That's not why Raiza was born!"

"What? Did I touch a sensitive spot?" The mockery in his voice made my blood boiled.
