Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 113 - Reincarnation

"How many rings have you given so far?" Leto asked with a curious look on her face.

"Three."

"One to that angel, and another one to that other girl?" Leto guessed.

"No. I gave one to the guild master of the town named 'Astrared'."

"And the third one?"

After a brief silence, Nero smiled wryly and said, "I gave it to princess Astrea."

"She was… my ancestor."

"Yeah. She looked just like Asteria, and she was like my little sister."

"Could it be that…" Leto couldn't finish the sentence.

"Has she told you about her dreams?" Nero asked.

Leto nodded and asserted, "She had those dreams ever since forever. She would always wake up from her sleep and tell me about the boy she sees in her dream. She also mentioned that she had a family in that dream. Could Asteria be Princess Astrea's reincarnation?"

"There is a possibility. However, it may be just a coincidence. It's not weird for one to dream about their ancestors' life, you know?"

"You will be a demon's bride after 20 years, and your daughter will be his Salvator." Leto recalled the prophecy and wondered, "Maybe that's what the prophecy was referring to?"

"Perhaps?" Nero shrugged.

Nero sat up, and Leto slid onto Nero's lap. She rested her head on Nero's lap and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This topic reminded me of something."

Nero closed his eyes and joined his thumbs and index fingers of both hands together to make a hexagonal shape between them.

The gap forming the hexagonal shape shined, and a small paw came out from it. Seconds later, another paw came out, and a two-faced small puppy appeared. It was about the size of Nero's hands combined.

"What's this?" Leto asked and patted the puppy.

"Her name is Orthrus, and she is the daughter of Cerberus— the warden of hell. Her mother Echinada was my friend… well, not my friend, but she was my friend's friend," Nero uttered with a distant smile on his face.

Leto took the puppy in her hands and said, "Are you giving me this?"

"Yeah. She will protect you and keep an eye on the army of the demons."

"But she is so small and cute. How will she protect me?" Leto tittered.

"She may look like this, but she is millions of years old, or maybe more. And if she wags her one claw in the air, it would shred anyone standing miles away."

As soon as Leto heard that, she placed the puppy back in Nero's lap.

Nero laughed out loud and said, "Don't worry. She won't do anything to you. She is your bodyguard now."

"Is it okay, though? Won't her father— I mean, Cerberus get angry?"

"Why would he? He lives on my mercy. If I ask him to kill himself, he will do it without hesitation," Nero proclaimed.

Leto brought her face closer to Nero's ear and whispered, "Is it okay to say that in front of his  daughter?"

Nero scoffed and said, "They are not close."

"I see."

Leto once again picked up the puppy and started patting it. 

As he was enjoying seeing Leto smiling, he heard a voice, [Are you planning to bring the entire hell here, Zeus?]

"This shall be my last summon, for now. And don't ever disturb me when I am with someone."

"Hmm? What did I do?" Leto asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Oh!" Nero exclaimed and continued, "I wasn't speaking to you. It was Kay"

"Kay?"

Nero laid back on the bed and answered, "He is one of the guards of the mortal realm. And he seemed upset because I summoned so many demons."

"Is he going to punish you?" 

Leto let go of the puppy down the bed and laid herself on Nero. The puppy walked over to the wall and passed through it while wagging her two tails and glancing in all directions with her two faces.

"No. He is just performing his duty as a guard. And besides, I actually owe him, so I can't make him more upset than he already is," Nero sneered.

"You owe him?"

"Yeah. You see, once, the demon lord of the first hell insulted my mother. So I went straight to hell to fight him. The fight continued for three years, and I eventually won. And because I had won, I was deemed to be the ruler. So…" Nero shrugged and said, "I was kind of trapped in the hell, and I wasn't powerful enough at that time to open the gate myself."

"Then, what happened? What did you do?" Leto asked with a curious and excited look on her face.

"I talked with Kay, and he agreed to let me out of the hell, but in return, I had to either send all demons in the hell or kill them."

"And you couldn't do it?"

"No, I did it. I mean, I was doing that prior to my deal with Kay, so it was like a free deal with me. But… I couldn't send one demon to hell nor kill it. And that's where the deal broke."

"And you still owe him?" Nero questioned.

"Yup. But I am strong now, so he never mentions it."

"But you will have to do your part of the deal eventually, right?" Leto questioned, wanting to know Nero's thoughts about demons.

"Perhaps?" Nero shrugged and thrust his body up.

Leto's face flushed as she muttered, "It's big again."

Nero pulled Leto's cheek with a smirk on his face and said, "Your break has ended."

Leto sat on Nero's stomach, revealing her soft, marshmallow-like bosom, and said, "It's my turn to move now."

A scene flashed before Nero's eyes where a girl with black hair and shiny-azure eyes sat on him in the similar position as Leto was seated now.

'What was that?'

However, Nero couldn't recall or remember having a memory like that.

"What's wrong?" Leto asked, then covered her mouth and gasped. "Am I heavy?"

Nero squeezed Leto's breasts and said, "Start moving already."
