Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1084 House Samael's Origins

Eren took a breath of relief before deciding to dig up some more information about Eliza from her.

"Sage Nira, can you tell me more about Sage Eliza? Anything that you might have found on your search. I would like to know more about such an existence that is an inspiration to all the half-bloods before the deal between us is concluded."

Nira felt like she had already accommodated Eren so much by giving him all the information he needed to understand the lost history of Anfang. She didn't want to force her way onto a C-ranker and sully her pride as a Sage after all. But the guy in front of her just kept pushing his luck.

Nira took a deep breath and controlled her irritation, supposedly preventing herself from ruining her chances of getting the Spirit Beast. She pondered for a bit before giving the butcher what he wanted most of all.

"I cannot tell you more about Sage Eliza because that's all I have on her. But I can tell you more about her clan."

Nira Nightshade said, a bit exasperated before speaking further.

"The House Samael was always ahead of its competitors in research related to bloodlines and potioning. It was the most influential clan when the half-blood clans were well-established in the land of Anfang. That's because it was already a well-established clan in the world of Labh Salem.

The House Samael and other half-blood clans only carried on with their traditions from Labh Salem after settling here. They were just branching out into different worlds, you could say.

But there's a significant reason why Eliza's clan was so prominent and acted as the head of the half-blood clans in both worlds. The reason lies in the clan's true genesis."

Nira Nightshade kept her right hand over her chest and spoke some demonic chants. In the next moment, a second layer of isolation barrier was erected before a pulse of otherworldly mana was spread around her and Eren.

The butcher was familiar with this mana. That's because it was related to the Sin Series Abilities.

"The one who established the clan of Samael in the world of Labh Salem is none other than the Demon Prince of Wrath. He possessed a great red dragon and took humanoid form before mating with several witches.

The witches in Labh Salem were practicing demonic rituals and he responded to their summons. And as a gift for the witches' devotion, he sired many children through them.

This was how the Samael clan was founded. In fact, the name Samael highlights the clan's origins better than anything. After all, one of "his" most popular names throughout many worlds is Samael."

Nira Nightshade's voice started to echo as she spoke her next words in a hurried speech.

"The Demon Prince of Wrath has many names just like the other six Princess. However, he is considered the strongest of them all.

It is also said that he has the ambition to be the leader of the other six."

Nira Nightshade's spectral rendition started getting blurred when she started talking about the Demon Prince of Wrath. It felt like she was trying to avoid the side effects that would come from speaking about him in the land of Anfang. She resisted the urge to give in to her wrath and lose her sense of being. But she was possessed by an unknown fragment of consciousness nonetheless.

Nira Nightshade rose from her throne-like chair and started levitating a few meters away from the ground. Her spectral image started fluctuating and her limbs were turned in odd ways. Her eyes shone with red brilliance as she looked at Eren strangely before saying Samael's various titles in demonic language.

"Demon Prince of Wrath

Satan.

Samael.

The Serpent.

The Dragon.

Prince of Darkness.

Prince of Lies.

Venom of Gods.

The Prosecutor.

The Arbiter.

Tempter…."

Eren understood most of what Nira was trying to say to him about the Prince's titles just fine. This was even though she had switched to a demonic language halfway through.

The event lasted for a short period. The Sage archer got hold of herself after chanting some demonic chants a few times.

The isolation barrier she had built was dispelled by Nira Nightshade as she removed her hand from her heart. She looked a bit exhausted after maintaining the first barrier for so long.

She was brought back to the floor with a distressed expression. Nevertheless, she decided to raise both barriers at once and finish everything in one go.

"Ugh… I hate it when this happens."

While experiencing a killer headache, Nira Nightshade talked to herself. The butcher was sure that had she been in the C-rank like him and had her body present here, she would have sweated buckets just by doing what she had done.

Nira shook her head and her eyes returned to normalcy. It seemed the effects of the demonic chants she had said earlier had kicked in and her vestige of soul was prevented from getting consumed by the wrath mana.

Nira knew that Eren had a Sin-Series mark on himself as well. There were a few mystic ruins on the land of Anfang he could have gotten it from, she thought.

So she wasn't surprised by seeing Eren's stoic expressions that bordered on nonchalance. She stabilized herself some more before speaking about Eliza's clan.

"So… where was I?

Yeah…

It should come as no surprise why House Samael is one of the main forces in Labh Salem even now. And why Eliza's clan held so much importance even here in the land of Anfang in the past.

I don't want to undermine Sage Eliza's own efforts and diligent work. But I guess it is only natural that someone from her clan would achieve so much success.

I know that one of Satan's soul fragments is also roaming the land of Anfang these days. His name is Ottoman de Montmorency. They also call him Demonmir."

Nira Nightshade ignored Eren's shocked expression and continued.
