Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 415 - Got To Catch Them All

Chapter 415 - Got To Catch Them All

The three Primordial Demons were perplexed for a few seconds as they were not sure if they heard the right thing coming out of Ren's mouth. The three wanted to ask and clarify what was said.

"What did you say?" Kolur was the first one to ask.

"Did you guys become deaf when you came into my soul realm? Fine, let me repeat myself. I said do you guys want a new body?"

The three Primordial Demons looked at one another. Their ears did not deceive them, what they heard the first time was actually true. Ren was actually offering them a chance to leave his soul realm.

"If we take the body that you're offering what would we need to give in exchange?" Nyarlom asked since he knew that Ren wasn't the type to give things out of the goodness of his heart. Despite knowing that Ren was someone that moved on a whim, this one particular time doesn't seem to be on a whim. Hearing Nyarlom's question, the right side of Ren's lip curled up a little.

"Well, if you take the body that I'm offering, you will need to listen to me and follow my orders. That's all there is to it. Of course before I give you the body I'll be marking your spirits so that the moment you disobey will be the moment you die. Well that should be a given, since I'm giving you a top class human body that was able to even injure me. So who wants to take it?"

The three once again looked at each other. It was pretty obvious that this was going to be the conditions Ren would set forth, anything less would have been unlike Ren.

"I'm fine with staying here. I don't need a new body, since in this realm I have no need to feed on the malice of others, and I can continue to grow stronger." Nyarlom answered with honesty.

"I also want to stay in your soul realm and grow stronger. In my current state even if I do go out, I won't be able to serve you properly. Also before coming to this place I was the weakest among the three present here." Hako answered, but what he said was only partly true. The main reason he was denying Ren's proposal is because he didn't want to serve under anyone, not even the Strongest Mortal Soul. Still, if Ren wanted to, he could simply force him and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. So it was a good thing that Ren actually asked for their opinions.

"I don't really want to go out just yet. I want to see how these two got so strong so quickly." Kolur answered. Ren kept on nodding his head as he listened to the three and their excuses. He then looked at each one of them with a smile on his face.

Seeing that smile on his face, made the three visibly shiver. Nyarlom and Hako's teeth were clattering as they witnessed that smiling face. Since they started living in the Soul Realm, they knew what a smile means to any incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul.

"I just wanted to ask for your opinions, but I didn't say that I will allow you to back out. For now I'll give you guys a chance. The three of you will vote for the person who will take the body. If no one is chosen, I will be the one to choose for you guys. So who will it be?" Ren pointed at Nyarlom.

Surprised that he was the first one to be asked he looked at the other two, and then at Ren. Seeing as he had no choice in the matter Nyarlom was trying to think about the best answer.

"Just give your answer already!" Seeing Ren looking impatient, Nyarlom's brain went into high gear as he tried to think of an answer.

'None of us want to take the body. But Ren would still pick someone no matter what. Still, if we are made to pick then-'

"I said answer already."

"Nyarlom." Unable to think properly as he was surprised by Ren asking, he blabbered his name.

"Oh so you wanted to do it, then why didn't you say so? Well, whatever since I already said you guys get to vote I'll still ask the others. So how about you two?"

"Nyarlom should do it since he wants to." Hako answered without any hesitation.

"Yeah, Nyarlom is the best pick, since he's been in here the longest. I'm pretty sure he's the one who wants to go out the most. Also, he should already know a lot of sword techniques which matches that owner of that body." Kulor added on.

"That's right, seeing as the body that's being offered is that of a so called Sword Saint, Nyarlom is best suited in taking it." Hako quickly assisted in what Kulor said. When Nyarlom heard how the two praised him, it didn't make him feel good at all. Nyarlom gritted his teeth and glared at the two. Still, no matter how much he wanted to rip them apart, he wasn't able to do anything, nor was he able to deny what the two were saying, since it was partially the truth.

"I guess that's right. So the one who get's to have a body first would be you Nyarlom. Be happy, since you don't have to stay in here and be played around with by the other incarnations."

"…" Nyarlom had a sullen look and didn't respond.

"Alright, before you merge with Reginald, let me mark your spirit." Ren approached Nyarlom and started drawing some runes into Nyarlom's spirit. It took Ren a full hour before he was done. After he was finished it marking Nyarlom's sprit, Nyarlom was allowed to leave the Soul Realm. Ren then looked at the two remaining Primordial Demons and smiled.

"Don't worry you two, once I find a suitable body for you guys you can join us outside."

…

Reginald who was unconscious suddenly stood up. He then looked around and started moving his body in weird ways.

"So what do you think?" Ren asked.

"I was able to merge properly and I'm now in full control of the body, but the will of this person is quite strong. It's not as strong as yours, but even so a bit of his consciousness still remains."

"Oh, that is rather impressive. So will that a problem for you?" Hearing Ren's question Nyarlom shook his head.

"No, not really. His consciousness may remain for now but after some time his consciousness will slowly fade."

"Hmmm, I see, so will you be able to use this body to its full potential?"

"This human's body is decently trained, and his mana supply is above average. Even though this is the first human I succesfully possessed, I don't know much, but I guess this guy is pretty good… Wait, what?"

"What's the matter?"

"The original owner of this body is screaming in my head."

"Oh, what's he saying? Is he asking you to give his body back?" Ren asked with a face full of curiosity. Nyarlom shook his head before answering.

"No, it's not that. He's telling me that his body isn't just pretty good. He's shouting in my head that this body is a masterpiece given to him by the very Gods themselves. He's telling me that he's the perfect human in both body and mind."

Ren was shocked when he heard Nyarlom relaying what Reginald said, and after a while he couldn't help but chuckle.

'Even though his body has been taken from him, his main concern is that? This guy really is more interesting than I thought. Should I give Nyarlom a different body and forcefully try to make this guy follow me?… Nah, that won't do, based on this guy's personality if I did that he won't do as I order, and will just kill himself.'

"Well, alright then, let's head out and meet with the others. I need to tell them that I was able to convince you into joining my cause. So from here on out, you are no longer Nyarlom the Primordial Demon, but Reginald Serbek, a Sword Saint and my follower." Ren spoke as he carried Arthur.

"Fine…"

…

As the two were running towards the place where members of the Shadow Clan were staying at, Ren was looking at Nyarlom, who was now Reginald. Ren was rather impressed in how quickly Nyarlom was able to adapt in using Reginald's body. He was even using what seem to be movement techniques that Reginald knows of.

'Hmm, Primordial Demons aren't just pretty good sparring partners, but I can even use them to posses powerful beings that won't bow down to me. Maybe I should capture them all and make them all my subordinates. They are a powerful race and they do have that useful skill of heightening emotions. Yeah, I should do that, I gotta catch them all. Well, that is better than bringing their race into extinction.'

Nyarlom was unnerved as he saw Ren smiling at him as they run. "Is ther a problem?"

"Oh no problem. I just thought that you Primordial Demons are pretty useful, but unfortunately you guys aren't utilizing your full potential. So as a compassionate person, as an incarnation of the very first hero, I want to ensl- 'Ahem' Save you all. I want to show you guys the proper path. So I decided to capt-… Bring you all in under my leadership."

When Nyarlom heard what Ren said, he showed a very weird expression and after a while sighed. 'It would seem that getting out of the seal in this era was the wrong choice. We should've just stayed in that cave… Now we're just playthigns to this guy…' Nyarlom once again looked at the smiling Ren and sighed.
