Chapter 173: Elias Deathwill’s plot
“I used to be a player too. Nice to meet you, Alexander Deathwill,” the man with perfect red eyes said.
He stood confident with a back straight as if this whole scenario wasn’t surprising to him at all. He also wasn’t taken aback by losing one of his kin, the hungry demon. However, considering how everyone could become one of them, Alex didn’t find that particularly touching.
He still paid a lot of attention to the new individual.
The man wore black clothes which accentuated his lofty aura. He looked like a perfect demon, donned in good quality equipment, blessed with a good bloodline and looks; his life also seemed abundant in experiences.
He was too composed to look like a newbie or hungry demon who could only kill and bring destruction. Out of all demons, he looked much different.
“You used to be a player?” Alex repeated his words, curious about this peculiar sentence.
As for his nickname, Alex couldn’t see through the red-eyed man. He couldn’t see his stats at all, meaning that the black-clothes demon was ahead of him.
Alex also had a weird inkling… The man’s speech and dialect stood out from all residents Alex had met so far. Yet, this man sounded like he came from Earth, which wouldn’t be weird if he truly were a player.
‘Is he a legendary class too?’ Alex narrowed his eyes, ‘A player who received a class from the hungry demons?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man chuckled, “It’s a past now.”
He extended his left hand, making a claw. All demonic energies gathered around his hand, which forced Wolfen Demon to his side… No, it was Wolfen Demon’s soul, so everything bent to this guy’s will!
Alex shouted, “Stop it!”
“That, I can not do,” the man shook his head with a faint smile…
A few breaths later, Wolfen Demon’s soul dispersed within the man’s body, strengthening his own power. His eyes shone a bright light, nearly blinding Alex as Wolfen Demon’s power was quite strong.
The man licked his lips, “His fear was so genuine… And he managed to kill all of us in the vicinity, absorbing their powers… He would be a good general.”
Alex’s face scrunched as he just witnessed the last werewolf’s death. He also had seen through Wolfen Demon’s predicament, his emotions, let alone his loneliness. Those feelings weighed on Alex’s heart.
“You look quite emotional… Is that the first time you saw someone’s death? It’s quite… rare for a player of such a level to see the resident’s death for the first time…” the man kept smiling.
It wasn’t entirely true.
Alex had seen people dying at the hands of the hungry demon. The goblin used humans to strengthen himself, killing them in the process. Their deaths didn’t leave too much impact on Alex, however.
But Wolfen Demon was different.
He had a history with Alex… He also had a potential… He wasn’t a random guy that Alex could forget the next day. More than anything, Bo was also the werewolf, although he was created through the skill.
Alex never had problems making friends. His only weakness would be getting attached to them too quickly. Of course, Wolfen Demon wasn’t his friend, but the same concept applied here.
Worse, Alex had felt his emotions through Soul Eyes. He was in Wolfen Demon’s soul, after all.
“Your reaction tells me you have seen death… but you have never killed a resident, have you?” The man took a stroll around Wolfen Demon’s soul.
That whole place had been crumbling ever since he killed the werewolf. Pieces of unknown energy kept falling from the ceiling. The ground shook, cracks spreading like snakes in all directions.
Alex followed the guy with his eyes.
“Dullahan Race and that peculiar Winged Race blended together in a human’s body… Your legendary class is really amazing, Alexander Deathwill. We have to give credit to Elias Deathwill, don’t we?
Ah, I wish he was here,” the man shook his head, disappointed by something.
Alex asked, “Do you know where he is?”
“We can’t find him… Only you can… He might be closer to you than you imagine,” the man sneered.
After saying those words, the man looked beyond Wolfen Demon’s soul. He peeked outside at the surroundings. In his eyes, Stella’s image bloomed. Everything paled in her presence; her beautiful looks compelled the demon to stare at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut as he continued to look into her, the demon noticed something peculiar within Stella’s soul.
He laughed, “Alexander… I don’t think you want me to use his surname, do you?” He turned around, only to see the reaction he had predicted to see. “Our meeting has been orchestrated by a fate.”
[You have received the hungry demon’s invitation.]
[You haven’t met the prerequisites to use the invitation.]
“What is this?” Alex asked, not being able to do anything to this man. It was his first time being in someone else’s soul, so he couldn’t even think of dealing any damage. He lacked his swords and skills here.
The man chuckled, “I told you… You seem pretty emotional… People like you are too vulnerable to misery.
Misery gives birth to fear.
Once you lose someone precious, you will develop a fear. That fear will give you the strength to protect the rest… And now, I’m sure you will lose at least one of them. I reckon you will be one of the strongest hungry demons with that fear of losing the people you love,” the man whispered.
Alex shook his head, “I won’t lose anyone.”
“You will…” the man grinned, “This world is not a game, Alexander. You will soon realize it… After you taste the reality, you will grow too conscious of your surroundings. You will no longer be able to move forward like you did before.
You will seek immortality for everyone,” the man brightly smiled, “And we will welcome you and your beloved.
However, do not take your time, Alexander. Be too late, and you will stand on the opposite side, waiting for your demise while holding the hands of your beloved.”
“What did you see… in Stella?” Alex asked, his blue eyes shining more.
The man’s lips curved, “Elias Deathwill’s plot.”
