My Evil Stepson System

Chapter 227  227. Kevin Vs Angelica.

[As much as I would love for you to cuddle with your new partner, I don't think the city would last that long before everything crumbles to dust,]

'Partner?'

[She called you darling right now, didn't she?]

'But I don't know why she's calling me that. Also, her grip is surprisingly strong but she isn't hugging me in a way that would hurt.'

'At first, I had a feeling she might actually be my mother but the Emotector skill was detecting lust from her and I doubt those are the kind of feelings a mother would have for a child,'

[They're not,]

'Then why is she acting like this?'

[You can ask that later. For now, there are other matters that needs your attention. You just need to know she isn't your enemy and she'll be happy to answer all of your question,]

'You sound like you know something,'

[,....] The system silence made Kevin certain he was right about his assumption.

'When this is all over, you have a lot of explaining to do,'

[I understand,] The system replied and Kevin nodded in understanding.

He also acknowledged the system words and understood it would be better to be in good terms with the girl.

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back and Angelica's arms tightened a bit around Kevin.

Feeling his warmth after so long felt like a dream and she didn't want to let go of him ever again.

"What is your name?" Kevin asked in a soft and relaxed tone, trying not to sound offensive.

Angelica slightly released her arms from Kevin and questioned with a saddened look on her face while looking at him. "You still haven't recovered your memories?"

Kevin tilted his head sideways.

"That's not good. I'll have to speak to Lucy about that. I'm tired of waiting for you to remember me as well," Angelica muttered to herself and let go of her arms around Kevin.

Kevin's eyes widened when he heard Angelica's words. He grabbed her by the shoulder and stared into her eyes while asking.

"Wait a minute. You know exactly where my mom is?"

Angelica giggled in return, accompanying it with a nod. "Yes, but it's a secret," She smiled and zipped her lips.

Kevin let out a sigh of relief. Just knowing that someone actually knows where his mother currently is, sent a feeling of relief over his mind.

He was glad Angelica wasn't his enemy as well.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later. For now, I want to know where Ares is?"

"Ares? He's in the underworld,"

"Underworld?"

"Yes. As much as he would love to fight you, Ares isn't as young as he once was. So he bargained with the ruler of the underworld to take Deimos place in the underworld while Deimos comes here,"

Angelica added. "It's the rule of the underworld. To leave there, someone else from the world of the living must take your place,"

"So Deimos took Ares place and was asked to fight me?"

"Yes,"

"Which means Ares left Deimos in charge of things over here, right?"

"That is correct,"

"Then who's controlling the demons leaking into our world?"

"Its Ares. Only him can stop the demons from coming here,"

Kevin turned around to take a look at the city. It was chaotic.

Even from the underworld, Ares still controlled the demons coming into the city.

"Stopping Ares is one thing. How am I going to handle all these demons, cannibals and awakened with the slit still opened. If I don't take down Ares, the demons  coming from the other side will only be increasing.

"Then, how about I handle things from here?" Angelica suggested.

Kevin turned around in surprise to her suggestion. "You would do that?"

Angelica nodded enthusiastically. Handling the demons and cannibals here on her own wasn't going to be a problem.

She was confident in taking them all down on her own no matter how long it took for the slit to close back up.

Kevin acknowledged her but still wondered. "How do I meet him?"

Angelica turned to the right and with a wave of her hand an inter-dimensional portal appeared within the room.

Kevin stared at the portal which looked like a glowing red mystical wormhole.

He turned around and noticed Angelica nodding for him to enter.

His mind wandered off to how the girls were doing as well, but he had already ordered Cerberus to take them to a safe place.

Kevin inhaled deeply and turned back to the portal before going in.

The underworld was unlike anything in the world of the living. The sky was painted red as though reflecting a sea of blood.

Huge rocks and boulders floated around with demonic creatures flying and slithering around every corner.

A sea of lava stretched through the underworld for as long as the eye could see but standing in front of Kevin was a huge door engraved with the images of seventy two different demon heads on either side of the door.

[The only way to find who you're looking for is to enter through the door with the name of the one you seek in your mind,]

"That's not a problem,"

Kevin took two steps towards the door and two magic circle materializes in front of him and from beneath those magic circles, two huge rock golems emerged from the ground.

"Who are these guys?"

[They're gatekeepers and you cannot proceed without taking them out,]

"Noted,"

"I see two glowing purple crystals at the center of their chests, I believe that should be my target,"

[Correct, to take them out of, destroying the crystals is the fastest way to do so,]

"Very well, let's end them with a single attack,"
