With my character as a guarantee, I swore that whole incident with Mo Ning was entirely an accident. And that was why I couldnt be blad either for wanting to ride her, probably
As I galloped ahead with Mo Na and Cinderel in my arms, our destination this ti was the habitat of the Fire Elentals. Following closely behind was the Cerberus couple, Sasani and Sinmosa. Above were Jeerah and the representative sent by the Purgatory Shadowcats to accompany , Masrow.
Our entourage was headed to the habitat of the Fire Elentals with the rest of the Abyssal Golems in tow in order to retrieve one of the required ingredients, a core of an Eight-star Fire Elental, and also the heart of an Eight-star Fire Devouring Fish.
The Fire Elentals were allies with another clan friendly to , the Demon Fire Salamanders, because they had a common nesis, the Fire Devouring Fishes. Of the two ingredients ntioned, that fish heart was probably going to be the most troubleso to get, even with the Fire Elentals help. After all, I had only seen a Six-star fish up till now but nothing higher. However, I had a rough guess as to how to find an Eight-star, assuming it even existed.
Relax, there will definitely be one. Fertinier suddenly popped up with that bit of revelation. Yet before I could even clarify this matter further, she actually went silent once more without any warning. Did I do sothing weird?
If I had to describe the relationship between the Fire Elentals and the Fire Devouring Fishes, it would be that of a prey and its hunter. The Demon Fire Salamanders were on equally hostile terms with these fishes, making them perfect allies for each other. Because of that, there were probably no other clans who knew more about the Fire Devouring Fishes than the Demon Fire Salamanders and the Fire Elentals. That was why I decided to pay the Fire Elentals a visit, in hopes of getting an Eight-star core while also procuring so intelligence.
Mama, are we going to visit those fire spitting people now? She asked while tugging on my wrist and leaning in, her own arms still wrapped around Cinderel. She looked up at and pouted. Mo Na doesnt like them, they are an.
Our last encounter with them did start off rather unpleasantly because of their brash behaviour, or rather arrogance. However, that bit of arrogance only seed like childishness to , because they didnt have the strength to back up that arrogance.
The Fire Elentals had an obvious weakness, and that was their absolute helplessness against the Fire Devouring Fishes. The last ti we encountered them, we easily defeated them simply because we had equipnt made from the bones of said fish Truly, it was the very definition of an epic fail.
It seed like another encounter was inevitable this ti around. Hopefully, that fellow had learnt lesson or I would have to resort to brute force again.
I prodded Mo Na on her little cheeks. Thats because Papa needs their help.
Because the Fire Elentals lived in a lava lake, that ant that my golems were basically dead weight since they couldnt swim. With my biggest trump card sealed off like that, that ant I had to resort to other thods, like those equipnt I ntioned before, along with my new allies.
The Purgatory Shadowcats, the Hellhounds and the Purgatory Warhorses could all be considered my allies now. Along with were three representatives from their respective clans. With such a showing, they most likely wouldnt try to start any trouble with , or perhaps I should say that I wouldnt have to bully them too much
Whether it was by force or by deception, what mattered was I got that core.
If everything proceeded according to plan, I might even be able to get them to help locate Nola, assuming that the elental to greet us this ti had a better temperant than Arca
It had been so ti since we last saw Nola. Before leaving, she ntioned she was heading ho, who knew if she actually made it back in the end, or was just wandering around right now.
Those salamanders should have had more dealings with the Fire Devouring Fishes as well, so if there was anyone who had information on an Eight-star fish, it would be them.
Just as I was mulling over how to procure those two ingredients, the silent up till now Mo Ning suddenly spoke up with an earth-shattering question. Dearest, is little Mo Na your daughter?
Please dont address as dearest.
Mo Ning innocently batted her eyes at . But were already engaged.
Please dontIm about to cry.
Why are you about to cry, dearest? Mo Ning threw a concerned look. Little Mo Na is really adorable.
crying has nothing to do with Mo Na its about you calling dearest. Ahhhhall that nonsense about being engaged is fine and dandy, as long as its a cute girl were talking about. Why is it Im engaged to a horse! What went wrong in my life!? Why must I suffer so what did I do to deserve this
Naturally, she had no way of knowing what I was thinking right now, but that didnt stop her aggravating further whether on purpose or by sheer coincidence. As we continued riding on, she maintained eye contact with even as we passed by an undulating stretch of road. For so strange reason, this ride was extrely smooth. I had no horse whip or saddle to control her galloping, but it still felt extrely smooth riding on her, perhaps even better than driving a car.
You know. If youre willing to cancel that whole engagent thing, we can still be friends
After a few hours of being together, I gained a rough understanding of who Mo Ning was as a horse. During battle, she was icy cold. Silent. But once you got to know her, she slowly beca a lively, warm horse.
Actually Mo Na isnt my real daughter I knew Mo Na was well aware of this fact as well, but this was the first ti I said it out loud. I could feel her shifting uncomfortably in my arms the mont I said that. Her body stiffened a little but this situation only lasted a few seconds before she quickly recovered into a more comfortable position.
Mo Nas mother was an Imp. In order to save , she ended up being captured by the enemies. By the ti we saved her, she was already pregnant I gently patted Mo Na on the head then said softly. I bestowed the na Mo Ci on her.
Speaking of Mo Ci, I couldnt help but feel a pang in my heart. I rarely thought about those who died, because I was a person that easily lost himself in grief. Once I entered such a state, leaving was hard. Whether it was now or then, such an emotional state wasnt allowed. That was why I avoided thinking about those who died on our journey, though I would still think to myself sotis how great it would be to have them back again.
Unfortunately, that wasnt possible.
The journey up till now had seen a great number who sacrificed themselves for . I had never once forgotten about their sacrifice, I just did not want to recall those painful mories because I was now in a spot where I couldnt retreat nor show weakness. The apocalypse was coming soon, and the current didnt even possess the right to take part in that battle. Other than thinking about ways to strengthen myself, I had no ti for other matters.
Perhaps it was because I had gone silent for a long while, or perhaps it was because of the undisguised grief I was displaying right now, Mo Ning couldnt help but interrupt my reminiscing. So what happened to little Mo Nas mother?
Dead. I breathed in deeply at that point and hugged my little baby even tighter, taking in that comforting scent she gave off. While incubating, a Devils egg requires a lot of mana she could have given up then, but that would an that only she lived and that was she gave up gave up on her life in order to hatch her
Mo Nas birth ant the death of Mo Ci. I was fighting outside at that point, but if I was by her side then, she wouldnt have died no matter what. I could have given her so of the souls I had harvested. Failing that, I could have even given her so of the Small Imps I had under but but there were no buts in this world
So thats how you beca Mo Nas mama?
Papa. I strongly emphasized that point.
Her eyes went wide. But youre clearly a female, so shouldnt it be mama?
An accident happened so my current body has no gender, but my soul is definitely a males. I simply left it at that, either way it wasnt like there were many who believed .
Whatever you say then, as long as youre not a male.
Mo Ning seems to like females well, thats her life to live as long as its not a male homosexual were talking about otherwise I have to burn him.
Putting aside that issue for now, I gently kissed Mo Na on her head and said, Baby, your papa will love you forever.
Mhm, Mo Na loves her mama too! She leaned in and spun her head around a little before closing her eyes to sleep.
You can sleep in papas arms for now. Later Before I could finish that sentence however, sothing happened ahead. I could feel a torrent of mana gathering before a rift spanning two ters wide tore open the dinsional space ahead. The rift itself resembled a shattered mirror, and as I got closer, I could feel it beckoning to . Within the voids of dinsional space, I could vaguely hear soone praying for to descend.
Thats
A summoning. And it seems to be of the highest tier as well. Fertinier finally broke her silence to explain. I felt a disturbance just now -so it was to construct this Summoning Gate.
Summoning? So there is a caster sowhere summoning ? But shouldnt it pull directly over there at least that was what happened with that deplorable Occultist.
You were too weak in the past, plus the offering was quite bountiful. As she said that, I could picture her smirking in my mind. This ti, its different. You have three Original Sins, and have even gained the title of a Devil Overlord. Even though your strength is still that of a Four-stars, your position is already the equivalent of an Overlords. You have the right to refuse this summoning, but I do not suggest you do so. Because even if you cross over, you can still co back at any ti.
