Chapter 421 [Bonus ] 420- Brother And Sister

?

"You… heard a voice in your head?" Asmodeus asked.

"Yes, and somehow… I just knew that voice belonged to my mother. I immediately opened my eyes, thinking mother was there, but no one was there. Then father explained that she couldn't come to the human world because of a certain pact. But she wants to talk to me using a soul technique.

It was a kick in the nuts when my father told me that I couldn't use the soul technique because of a lack of magic. So he connected his soul with mine. He said it was a forbidden technique, but it wouldn't be a problem if they kept it short.

I had one minute to talk with my mother, and I…" Zach chuckled softly and said, "I didn't know what to say. There were so many things I wanted to ask her, but it was impossible to… you know… to sum it up in one minute.

Still, I asked her so many questions, and the stupid me was expecting answers to all of them." Zach scoffed wryly and continued, "I spent the minute asking her and… and… she never responded to any of my questions. She just spent a minute listening to my stupid questions.

I wonder what she was thinking at that time. Or did she even understand any of my questions? I was speaking so fast and stuttering in every second sentence. However, right before the one minute ended, she wished me a happy birthday."

Zach smiled wryly and muttered, "That was my best birthday so far. So if you think you had the worst childhood, you might want to reconsider that."

Asmodeus rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see how that was a bad childhood. At least you had people coming on your birthday and celebrating with you. I had no one. You got to hear your mother's voice, I never heard my father's voice."

"Let's just stop talking about this and get all melancholic, alright? We have a mission."

Zach tried to change the topic as they were no point in continuing the conversation.

"No, It's my mission. I am the one who is going to kill the demon lord."

"I am aiming for the same thing, so why not just do it together, hmm?" Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "A brother and a sister slaying the demon lord would be a great tale for children, you know?"

Asmodeus looked up at the sky and said, "We need to hide!"

"Huh?

"Follow me!"

"Wait, what are you—!"

Asmodeus didn't listen to Zach and ran in a specific direction. Zach had no choice but to follow her, so he chased after her.

A few minutes later, they reached a cave and went inside. Asmodeus repeatedly kept glancing at the sly on her way to the cave, but Zach couldn't see or sense anything.

"Would you tell me what's going on?"

"King's patrol."

"Huh?" 

"The demon lord's seven generals… one of them was on patrol duty."

"But I didn't see or sense anyone. And even if someone was there, why are we hiding? We can grab that shit and beat him up until it gives us information."

"It's not that easy! You have no idea how powerful they are."

"Well, I killed a low-rank angel, and it was easy as fuck," Zach shrugged, not knowing that it wasn't a low-rank angel but an archangel.

"You did what?!"

"Err… if I be honest, that was my pet who killed him, but I would have done that anyway."

"No way!"

"Yes way. Now, let's get out of here and get that bastard's attention."

"About that… you cannot see or sense him."

"What do you mean?" Zach asked with a confused look on his face. "Look, you have to tell me what you know so I can make some plans, and we can work on it."

"I give you information, and you use that to kill the demon lord so you can make your name more popular than it already is?" Asmodeus furrowed her brows and continued, "And I end up becoming the side companion of the dead demon child?"

"I did not say that. I am not after fame or anything. I am just here for revenge and to learn to control or use my demonic powers," Zach stated calmly.

"Oh, yes. Then what was back there in the city? You asked them to worship you, and now you say you are not after fame?" Asmodeus remarked and clapped her hands as she said, "Wow, I am so convinced!"

"Why are we even fighting about this?"

"I have been here for a year, collecting information and making my own plans. And then you suddenly come and take everything away from me? Does that sound okay to you, huh? What would you do if you were here for a year, making plans, and then someone came and tied you to the tree?

What would you do if your brother or sister threatened to kill and r*pe you? What would you do if someone who had lived a better life compared to you came to you and said how their life was shit even though it wasn't?

Do you not understand what you have been doing all this time? You are making everything about you. You should be grateful that I haven't done anything to you.

For the first time in my… in my life, I am meeting one of my siblings and… this happens…" Asmodeus bit her lips and muttered, "I really wish I had died when I was born."

"...." Zach lowered his gaze and calmly said, "I didn't know how you lived your life, okay? And I don't know how your childhood was. You had a mother, your real mother with you— which I didn't.

I was just… jealous… I guess? But you didn't have our father with you— which I did. I wasn't trying to brag or anything, it may have seemed like that. I was just happy to have to meet a sister I never knew I had. And… I felt I could relate with you, which apparently backfired."

"..."

Asmodeus didn't say anything in response and kept her head in her hands.

"It always ends up like this whenever I talk with anyone. Only a few handful people can tolerate me. "Zach placed his dagger beside Asmodeus and said, "I think it would be better if we do this our own way."

After saying that, he left the cave to travel alone.
