Chapter 230: Long forgotten grudge

[I thought you said we’re in a hurry? But why did we stop halfway, in addition, we’re doing this on enemy grounds. Aren’t you a little too carefree?]

With their journey coming to an end, Christoper Morris resided in the dwellings of the ice giants as his temporary lodging. In this place, he crouches his body and calmed his nerves whilst circulating the divinity he naturally attains as a demon. The amount of darkness stimulated his demonic form and thus his body slowly begins accepting and becoming one with this foreign power

[System: With the absorption of the demonic energy you attain from the ’Ice giants’ your body begins to cope with its harsh environment

Passive: [Demonic tolerance] has attained a new resistance from the Ice influence by the inhabitants of the 9th level

Status: The authority of the 2nd in command of the 9th level slowly leaves the Demon King’s body. Apart from the resistance, your stay in this environment strongly influenced your physique

Outcome: After a brief scan of your physique there seems to have no damage whatsoever, but you attained a new attribute. The cold gust of wind blew so ever freezing and the temperature was strongly known to be your opposite has been accepted. The demonic ice attribute has been added by the passive ’Arsenal of the Lord’]

“Sigh… well that solves the problem. I thought it would’ve taken me a long time, but this body is incredibly superb. Man I wish I have this level of talent… if I did then my dream life of living a laid-back life is not far from being a reality,” He sighed in envy from acknowledging the great physique of the demonic body he possessed

[You’re envious of this wreck? Might I remind you that having a body that can use concurrence is a prodigy amongst geniuses… what’s more it’s not every day you’d get to see the true form of a skill granted by a deity. But what worries is me the stability of your body, having two divinities is a sign of death, only a fool would dare attain such a circumstance]

’Yet you’re looking at one. The ending of the 3rd trial will result in the introduction of divinity. By doing so it’ll be easy for players to gain the favor of the gods since their traits can be easily known. More or less it’s a function to gauge whether the players will be virtuous or notorious in the end,’

[How far do your visions go? I don’t care about its content but im quite interested in the years of knowledge embedded in your mind. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the 2030th World of Trials will last about half a century]

’Close… it’s a quarter of a century. Depending on how much the other prophets meddled with fate then the ending can be shortened or the worst case lengthen. But every vision is not the truest path to success. Each variable must be overseen and if one piece goes missing or added then the whole equation is ruined,’

[Enough about that, it’s been an hour already that your body has completely absorbed every hint of Demonic energy. I want to see the vast world of this world, and a few killings aside will be worth the wait. Come on move your ass lazy avatar of mine, let’s continue our match]

[System: The player’s unique body considers the divinity ’Demonic energy’ as a source of growth!

Sovereigns recovery (Passive): When circulating Demonic energy half of the amount will be converted to Experience points

Outcome: 78, 681 Exp has been collected you leveled up from 2 -> 10]

Overall ratings: You’re becoming more and more chaotic as you remain in the body of the final boss. The circulation of demonic energy has greatly influenced your thought process ever since. One major slip-up and you’ll become a lunatic fully controlled by your demonic physique]

Once he’s finished with his circulation, he goes off and jumps from his spot and later on met with an explosion. The sudden manifestation of the glacier embedded itself in the place he once stood and soon the perpetrator emerges. His deity was shocked but Morris remain unfazed by such a predicament for he knew this day will later come

[System: The connection between your first Vassal has been reestablished! The arcane homunculus race ’Lillith Revera’ points bloodlust on the user

Status: Due to the special effect of the third trial the punishment for opposing the Avatar of the deity she served has been invalid. Third-party effects such as blessings and curses alike granted by the gods are weakened

Outcome: Your respected Vassal has gone rogue and seems to desire the end of the user’s life!]

“You… bastard! You brainwashed me into betraying Lord Theodore!” Lillith appeared as not an ally but an enemy desiring his life whilst she appears to be one of the demons of ice

[Fuck! I forgot about that… darn it! The original personality came back from the grave, and seeing her aura means she had you all figured out. Look at her, the immensity of Demonic energy keeps spewing from her body, it seems she’s the one who sent that letter]

’Why the hell are you surprised? It’s Lillith she’s the only one on Enigma that I literally pulled a Keyaru on. I knew it from the get-go, she’s the only one vile enough to call me all those things. Plus you never once managed my vassals and I have to take care of her needs. That’s the reason why you didn’t feel her aura, not even an omnipotent god can do anything if they don’t have a single experience,’

[…]

Sage remained silent whilst Morris rose from the rubble and greeted his long-forgotten enemy. “Yo wassup Lillith! Don’t tell me you’re still mad about the whole turning you into my childhood friend—”

He quickly avoids the volley of ice running rampant from her body after he plays off his twisted actions for a mere prank. “Die!”

“I’m sorry okay? I didn’t have any choice so I did the unthinkable, but you gotta give me some credit. I didn’t seal you off completely, you know what im saying… the memories that you got after I put you to sleep are real. The conversation I had with Castillo, my reader who was manipulated by the alchemist,”

In her rage, he conjured up a shadow and manipulated it to act as his shield, and soon after her barrage of Icicle died down. He thought he appeased her anger but the moment he open his defense, Lillith rushes for the kill. She leaps from her spot with a lance made purely of ice and just that fraction was enough

The head of the Demon King flew through the air and later blood splattered on the cold grounds they stood. “Hahahahaha! Finally, I did it! Lord Castillo, Kross, I brought the end of that fucker! You can finally rest— Keukkk!!”

Though her attack was surely not a hitch, Lillith was strangled by the left hand of the person he wishes to kill. “You sure are one gullible prick! Yes, you might have a whopping amount of Demonic energy but the way you used it… I don’t know why but it pisses me off. I’m disappointed that you’re wasting a lot, and im not even serious,”

Once the light reflected itself in their side of the cave, Lillith was stunned the head she decapitated was a mere shadow. Her lance surely struck for blood had splattered but all it did was a small cut on his neck. As he ordered the shadows concealed his head for her to lower her guard and he snickered and retrieved his blood

“All of that for a mere cut? I even used blood manipulation just so I can play along, it wasn’t even deep… how disappointing. I don’t blame you since I did a lot of shit and ruin your life or is that what you think?” Morris loosen his grip and she fell to the ground incapable of standing by the mere pressure he sealed

[What should we do about her? Should we kill her? It wouldn’t be great to use her with her current state of mind]

When he was about to agree with his deity, a message came to his mind about a promise he made before

__________________________

After his fierce battle with the Mad Alchemist, Christopher Morris retired to his bed and opened his reader’s gift. The gluttony core given by Theodore was nothing unusual until he went for a closer look. The time when he pulled this core from his chest, he remembered the motion of Castillo’s hand. He brushes it off as habit but what he finds was a dying wish

“Can you do me a favor, author Reborn Flames? I realize that you brainwash Lillith and I don’t know what method you did, but all I ask is to keep her that way… it might be a surprise, but I want to fulfill her wish, she wanted a life full of warmth. Even if she’s brainwashed make sure to treat her like a person instead of a tool,”

__________________________

He snapped back from his memories and sees a sorry sight of Lillith bawling her eyes from her failure. “Do it! God damn it! Just kill me, I don’t want this… I rather regressed to that thing, instead of being humiliated. I’m useless as it is, im sorry Lord Castillo I haven’t done anything right— Get off me! I don’t want your pity,”

Morris went for a hug and though her tone remain furious slowly for some reason her tears became nonexistent. “You’re confused, angry, and sad at the same time. But you also know the truth and you kept on believing I did you dirty. I placed the memories of his dying wish in your mind… im a bastard. That’s not going to change, but I won’t leave my reader hanging if he asked me for something,”

“Fuck, fuck, fuck… lord Castillo!! You said you’ll stay by my side. Why did you leave me, why did you have to be so selfish? A mess up like me, why did you go so far just to make my wish come true? Aaaaaaaah!!!” That night she cried for the longest time in her life after she accepted the bitter truth
