Primordial Soul's Rebirth

CHAPTER 298 - Heroes.

'So, Ann was summoned along with a hero? Is she supposed to be a party member of the hero?'

Alex, who assured everyone by telling them that it was fine, questioned Sophia inwardly.

He could already guess what was going on and what would happen, but he still asked.

A demon king is summoned, and so will be a hero to slay him.

The hero, however, won't be alone; he will have a party.

A group of happy-go-lucky team members who would be ready to give their lives for him.

Along the path, they would face many hardships, but with the use of the power of friendship and love, they would emerge victorious, even if the situation looked dire for them.

In the end, the hero will slay the demon king because his party members will sacrifice themselves, leaving only the hero and one girl along with him.

The hero, devastated, would kill the demon king and return to the empire.

He will be hailed as the savior and many other things, but the hero will remain broken.

But all of that is until the only remaining party member alive comes forward and offers her body to him, letting him have some solace inside of her.

The hero would then jump on the girl, devouring her like a beast, and from the next day on, he would return to how he used to be.

The story could go on, but that was the starting plot of every hero and demon king troupe.

Alex knew it very well.

That was why he questioned Sophia about it.

[Yes, that's what her role is supposed to be.]

Alex frowned inwardly when he heard those words.

The thing he feared actually happened.

'Do these protagonists have that chance encounter, pervy misunderstandings, plot armor, and innocent charm that would melt your heart even though they don't look that good?'

Alex, still frowning, questioned Sophia.

He didn't fear the heroes or the protagonists; what he was concerned about were the things he mentioned above.

From the plots he read, those things were dangerous.

Those things are strong enough to make the coldest of the girls fall for the protagonists.

It was as if the world was forcing the girls to fall for the protagonists even if they didn't want to.

As he thought of this, his killing intent started leaking, but no one felt it since it was directed at the world and only at the world.

*Rumble*

A loud rumble was heard from the outside as the clouds in the sky darkened all of a sudden and it started raining.

"That's odd…"

The demon ancestor, who saw all of that happening in just an instant, frowned his brows quizically.

In all his life, he had never seen such a thing, but then he just shook his head.

'The weather is turning more and more unpredictable these days.'

[The world just spawned one more protagonist, and this one is in the demon empire, all because of your killing intent.

As for your previous question, yes, they will have all those things.

Sophia replied to Alex's previous question while also telling him the reason for that intense weather change.

*Inhale*

Alex, who heard her words, took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.

His steps, however, didn't stop; he had his perception skill active, so he could easily walk with his eyes closed.

No one noticed the change in Alex other than Luna, who was staring at his face without blinking.

*Grip*

Her grip on his arm tightened, trying to show him her support.

But then, Alex opened his eyes, which were shining brighter than before.

He turned to look at Luna and smiled gently.

That smile alone was enough to assure Luna that everything was fine.

Her worries vanished, and a smile returned to her face.

'I love you, Alex.'

She muttered inwardly, knowing full well that Alex couldn't hear her.

She just liked doing this, so she did.

Alex, on the other hand, had really calmed down now; the concern he was feeling had now gone away.

The moment he closed his eyes and took a large puff of air inside, the faces of Ann and Alice flashed in his mind.

Their eyes were looking at him with endless love—so much that it could sink the whole world into it.

They had a lovely smile on their lips as they spoke softly.

'I love you.' X2

Alex couldn't help but smile at that.

'Why was I even worried?'

Alex chuckled inwardly.

Was he worried that Ann or Alice might get stolen?

For an instant, he was.

But when he recalled their love for him, all of those negative thoughts vanished.

Alex knew that no matter what kind of power influenced him, his love for them was not going to change.

Then how could these measly powers influence the minds of those two girls, who loved him equally, if not more?

Alex scoffed at the world's attempt to corner him.

'Thank you.'

Alex, instead of being angry, just thanked the world in a sarcastic tone.

He thanked the world for giving him so many strong people to kill.

He expressed his gratitude for all the broken abilities he was going to extract from the protagonists.

The more hero-type figures emerge, the more Alex will gain from the world.

So, for him, it was a good thing.

He always welcomed enemies, after all. Continue your journey with empire

Alex already knew that every one of those heroes would give him a quest.

The system worked for his profit, so he will probably get a quest to kill the heroes after he meets them or gets to know about them.

Alex smiled as he saw the giant wooden doors in front of him.

The doors were closed; it seemed intentional, but Alex just smiled at it, and so did the demons that walked beside him.

The door was dark black in color with silver and golden inscriptions.

Those inscriptions depicted the whole demon empire, as they were the images of every demon race in the imperial capital.

The giant door had a rough sketch of every race, which was worthy enough to have their figure drawn up there.

"You must push through this gate with your might alone; it is probably a test from the dukes and counts.

They must be eager to test your strength."

Valerius spoke from behind, causing Alex to smile wider.

"All right then."

Alex chuckled as he slowly lifted his right palm up, touching the wooden door, which seemed stronger than any iron door he had seen before.

But then he raised his brow.

'Huh…'

The door was heavy—really heavy.

Alex couldn't push it just with the stats of a legendary 3-ranker, and this surprised him.

*Chuckle*

But then he heard a chuckle, causing him to turn his head toward the demon ancestor.
