"They have teleportation?" Reign was surprised to learn this; it was the dream ability he had been longing for.
"It's just teleportation; it's not that hard," Ember said, shaking her head at his ignorance.
He wanted to counter, but then he rembered that these three had the ability to open portals.
Initially, he thought that was limited to the trial ground, but her tone suggested otherwise.
But that could wait for later.
Now that he knew what had happened here, his next priority was to understand why they had co searching for him in the first place.
These three were at the Demon King level, and even if they were unfamiliar with this world, no corrupted being could stop them from traveling from one city to another.
And with their abilities, they could easily bulldoze through anyone, as long as they didn't encounter soone at Vinsh's level or higher.
Also, the idea of them coming here to beco his mounts was impossible, especially since he hadn't done anything to earn their trust.
"I get the general idea of what happened, but why were you looking for ?
Ember and Nerys exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions shifting. Reign could sense they were hiding sothing from him.
Nerys inhaled deeply, her chest rising as she steadied herself.
"I had a final vision before we were transported here" she began.
"The vision revealed that this world, along with Heaven and Hell will be destroyed in the near future,"
'So, Lilith is the one who will end it all?' he muse to himself.
She didn't co off as soone who would imdiately choose violence, but he didn't really understand her real motives, leaving him uncertain.
"I get that, but what does that have to do with ?"
Nerys steadied herself, her chest rising as she breathed in so air. "We think you might be one of the beings who can help us put a stop to it."
"? Save the world?" He raised his eyebrows, and let out a laugh. That was the funniest joke he'd heard in a long ti.
"Sorry but I think you got the wrong person. It'd be more realistic if you said I was the one who would destroy all three worlds instead"
"Before you jump to conclusions," she interjected, "I said you might be one of them, so we're still figuring it out."
"In my vision, there were three powerful beings who would save this world, and these three beings represent humans, devils, and angels."
Reign furrowed his brow, intrigued by her statent.
Maybe there was so sense in what she said; after all, he recalled that the serpent's power revolved around revealing lies and truths.
And considering it had even caught a glimpse of his father in an entirely separate dinsion, the idea of a vision didn't seem that far-fetched.
"I need more details about these beings. If it's not , then who are they?"
Nerys continued.
"The first being that represents the devils is shrouded in darkness, but I saw him wielding lightning and commanding an army of undead. "
'Why does that sound familiar?'
But then again, lightning wasn't really that rare; it wasn't like it was an exclusive elent for him.
"How about the next one ?"
"The next one represents the humans. In my vision, I saw a figure where everything it touched vanished. It was as if it wielded the power of oblivion itself."
Reign's curiosity deepened, and he leaned in slightly. "Vanished? Like... erased from existence?"
"Yes" Nerys replied, her golden eyes narrowing as if recalling a distant mory.
"And the last one ?"
Nerys took a mont to get her thoughts together.
"And the last being represents the Angels. I saw a figure so powerful that he commanded a giant avatar, one that was as big as the tallest mountain itself. That's why, when Ember told about your abilities, we thought it was you."
'What the hell, aren't they just describing all my bodies? And the human representative—could that be my future third body? '
'Wait, are they actually saying I'm supposed to save the world?'
'Why would I even do that? It's not like I have so hero complex. I an, maybe I'd just stop it from being destroyed so I can keep farming?'
The more he considered it, the more it made sense.
Your journey continues on empire
'Yeah, that must be it. I have no grand ideals about saving people or being so kind of noble warrior. I just want keep getting stronger. After all, I even sacrificed my guilt. Now I'm way more inclined to do evil stuff'
"Yeah, I think I'm really that savior," Reign broke the silence, a smirk creeping onto his face.
He wanted to uncover the secret of teleportation, and since these girls were experts, he planned to extract every bit of knowledge they had before eating them.
In his mind, he imagined the possibilities. 'If I consu them, I'm pretty sure I could transcend a lot faster to Demon God status. They could treat it like they're helping save the world by providing with the nutrients I need.'
As for developing feelings for them, that was would be close to impossible—unless they had so kind of mind-bending magic or illogical ability like Cyril and Celine.
If there ever ca a ti when he could genuinely fall in love, that girl would have to do sothing truly extraordinary to win his heart.
"Soone is coming ," Reign muttered aloud.
"Quick! Let's hide! Kaelin, do it!" Ember commanded.
The shy girl nodded, raising her hands to form a do around them. In an instant, they vanished into thin air, blending seamlessly into their surroundings.
After a couple of minutes, five figures hovered in the air. Each one had four demon wings, revealing their rank as Kings.
They scanned the area, searching for sothing or soone.
"How did they do it? I'm sure I sensed four King-level presences here just a minute ago," one of them said, furrowing his brow in confusion.
