Chapter 54: King
"Are you asking about that, Scythe?" Ryder asked with a curious look on his face.
"Yes. Where did you get that from?" She asked again.
’I can’t even see her level, let alone her stats. She must be a high ranking demon. Does she recognize the Scythe? As far as I know, it’s the scythe of their missing king. I might be able to use this opportunity,’ Ryder thought as he observed the woman.
"Answer !" The woman let out loud. She looked quite impatient this ti.
"This Scythe? It was given to by my Master!" Ryder said.
The woman looked visibly surprised.
"Your Master? What is his na?" She asked.
"His na? I shouldn’t take my master’s na. It’s inappropriate for a disciple," Ryder shook his head as he refused to answer.
"I’m telling you! Answer , honestly! What is your master’s na?" She asked.
Ryder could feel her terrifying aura. He was trying too hard to keep standing still, but the aura was making him fearful. He would have fallen to his knees if he wasn’t trying so hard.
"I won’t say my master’s na, but I will write it!" Ryder said as he used his scythe to write a na on the ground.
He wrote, "S A L E M."
The girl looked at the na on the ground for 5 minutes straight before she raised her head and glared at Ryder.
Her terrifying killing intent had beco even stronger.
’Did I misjudge the situation?’ Ryder thought with a worried look on his face.
"I can’t read that? Are you ssing with ? Tell the na straight away!" The Woman shouted in anger.
"Hmm? You can’t read English?" Ryder exclaid in surprise.
In the normal regions of Divinity, English was the only language, so he was quite surprised that the demons had a different language.
"What is English? I don’t care about that. Just tell the na before I’m forced to kill you!" She said loudly.
"Alright, Don’t get angry. I’ll speak his na," Ryder said. He didn’t want to keep pretending to be respectful to his so-called Master. It was enough already.
"I’m sorry for speaking your na, Master. Please forgive your disciple," He said as he looked towards the sky.
He lowered his head down and started looking towards the woman.
"My great master’s great na is Salem!" He said as loudly as he could.
"H-his Majesty?" The woman’s mouth opened wide as she fell down to her knees. Her killing intent disappeared like it was never there.
The woman’s eyes got wet as tears appeared in her eyes.
She looked at Ryder as tears kept falling from her eyes.
"W-where’s His Majesty? I an, where’s your master? Is he alright?" She asked in a stuttered tone.
"He’s fine. My master is in the outside world. I was there as well when he selected as his disciple. He taught so many things. He even gave his personal weapon Moon Scythe," Ryder said.
"Outside world? You an the Worldly Realm?" She asked.
"Yes. He is still there. After teaching a few things, he asked to go to the Demon Realm to gain so experience." He replied.
" Master said that the Demon Realm is his ho, and it’s the best place for to stay there. He also said that he would co to et in the future," He kept bluffing without breaking character.
The woman in front of him started crying even more. Her tears kept falling from her eyes.
"I’m so glad. His Majesty is safe. His Majesty never married and didn’t leave an heir behind. You’re his disciple, that ans you’re our Prince," She said as if she thought of sothing.
’What?’ Ryder was more excited than surprised. This situation was moving in such a great direction for him. He wanted to laugh out loud.
"May I know the na of our Prince?" She asked as she stood up.
"I’m Hades. Also, you don’t need to call Prince. I realize that I’m the only disciple of Your king and that you should really make your Prince and give the throne since my master doesn’t want the throne, and he would be happy if you make the king. But you don’t need to do any of that," Ryder said with an innocent smile on his face.
"Right! We can do that for His Majesty! He doesn’t want the throne, but by making you the king, we can keep His Majesty happy. Co with !" She said as she stepped forward and caught his hand.
Her wings spread wide as if she was prepared to fly.
"Wait a minute. If you’re taking sowhere, I want that girl to co with us as well," Ryder insisted as he pointed towards the red-eyed girl.
The woman looked towards the girl that was sitting on the ground.
"But Prince, I see nothing special in her. If you want beautiful demons, you can get many in the place we’re going to," The Woman said to Ryder.
"Just take her with us. I slaughtered the village to save her. Since I did all that, I might as well take her with ," Ryder said.
"Hmm? All that blood on the ground is because of you? Nice. I rember that His Majesty destroyed many towns and cities as well. It seems like the disciple is just like the master," She said.
She pointed towards the girl on the ground and gestured to her to co to them.
The girl stood up hesitantly as she stepped towards the woman.
The woman caught the girl’s hand as well. She flew to the sky with both of them.
It seed like she was using so magic that made them fly with her instead of being dragged by her.
"Let introduce myself. I’m Devilia. I’m a Demonic Duke in our Demon Empire," The woman introduced herself.
"Devilia? That’s a cool na. I’m Hades," Ryder said.
He began looking towards the girl as he waited for her introduction.
"I’m Miyali; I’m just a low-level demon," The girl introduced herself as well.
