Custom Made Demon King Chapter 399 - Conversation

Chapter 399 Conversation

Perhaps it was due to a mysterious, inexplicable connection. Just as Sareth felt lonely because he could not get used to human society and began to miss his Mother Ca.s.sandra, who was far away in the Abyss, she was also feeling uneasy. She came to the demon hall to find Roy and said hesitantly, “Master, I…”

Roy was playing with a Demon Bible stele in his hand. Seeing that she wanted to say something but hesitated, he immediately understood her thoughts. With a flip of his wrist, the Demon Bible disappeared. He lowered his head and asked Ca.s.sandra, “Are you worried about Sareth?”

“Yes!” Ca.s.sandra nodded. “He’s been gone for so long. I wonder how he is now.”

Roy tapped the armrest of his throne. “Your contract with him is still intact, isn’t it?”

Indeed, the contract between Ca.s.sandra and Sareth was the parenting contract that Ca.s.sandra had voluntarily established in order to take care of this child. As she had already become a lich, she had lost some of her senses as a normal human. But through this parenting contract, she could clearly know Sareth’s condition. Whether he was hungry or sick, whether he was happy or sad, it could be clearly conveyed to Ca.s.sandra. Although Sareth was not by her side now, as long as the contract was fine, it meant that he was fine.

“The contract is intact, but…” Ca.s.sandra replied. “That child seems to be in a depressed mood. I wonder what has happened…”

Roy thought for a while before standing up from his throne. “I can roughly guess some. Sareth’s situation is too special. Look, he was a child raised by an undead, a fallen angel, and demons! From the moment he began to know the world, what he saw was a world that belonged to demons. His views and values were affected by all of us, but he is a half-demon with a human side.”

Roy was walking in the hall, and Ca.s.sandra was floating behind him and listening. He did not turn back as he said, “You were once a human, so of course you should understand the ugly side of human nature. Although Sareth has gone to a human world in human form, he always feels out of place with humans. When he sees the ugly side of human nature, what do you think he will do?”

Ca.s.sandra thought for a moment. “He should… act like a demon, right?”

“Yes, one hundred percent!” Roy nodded. “So I think there’s no need for you to worry. This is a stage that Sareth must experience. He must face that part of his human bloodline. During the process of getting along with humans, what humans do to him will impact his cognition. In the end, whether he recognizes his human bloodline or gives up his human bloodline depends on this trip to the human world!

“Ca.s.sandra!” Roy turned around and said to her, “You have to understand. I am a demon, and my standpoint is naturally from the standpoint of demons. If Sareth finally recognizes his human bloodline, I’ll get him to leave because he’s not suitable to stay in the Abyss. But if he abandons his human bloodline, I’ll completely transform him into a demon. Only then will he be able to stay in the Abyss forever, and will I have a reason to protect this Child of Taboo. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand, Master!” Ca.s.sandra nodded. She actually understood Roy and Benia’s difficulties.

This was the Abyss, the home of demons. The existence of Sareth, a Child of Taboo, was actually challenging the bottom line of demons. Roy was a demon lord, so no one could interfere with the presence of Sareth in his territory. But the problem was that a demon lord like Roy was not powerful to the point of being invincible. Above him were existences like demon kings, Deadly Sin Demon Kings, and so on. If the existence of Sareth attracted the attention of a demon king one day, what should Roy do when the demon king asked him to hand over Sareth or ordered him to kill Sareth?

So this time, getting Sareth to go to another world was not only to get him to help Roy investigate some things, but it was also a training experience for him…

Seeing that Ca.s.sandra was still worried, Roy suddenly said, “Do you know? In the world that Sareth went to, he’s not the only half-demon! There are two others in that world!”

“What?! How is this possible?!” Ca.s.sandra exclaimed in surprise. “It’s true!” Roy said solemnly. “I told you before that I wanted Sareth to investigate Demon Lord Sparda. Do you still remember?”

Ca.s.sandra nodded. She was also present when Roy explained the missions to Sareth. “Those two half-demons are Sparda’s children. They are twins born to him and a human!” Roy explained. “Demon Lord Sparda is a very famous ‘traitor’ in the entire Abyss! From the rift demon who told me the information, I heard him say that when the news of Sparda betraying his compatriots spread to the Abyss, it caused an uproar in most of the Abyss. Many powerful demons even specially went to that world to kill him. Unfortunately, Sparda is powerful enough, and many demons who wanted to execute him never returned…

“Two thousand years is a very long time, so long that even demons will forget many things,” Roy said. “During this time, the number of demons pouring into that world gradually began to decrease. After all, the Abyss connects to the Infinite Worlds, and it’s impossible for all demons to go to the same world. Moreover, Sparda knew that he could not face the endless steam of demon executioners, so he chose to live in seclusion to reduce his presence. Then he took the opportunity to find a way to close the pa.s.sage between the Abyss and that world. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, the demons in that world’s Purgatory s.p.a.ce could not return to the Abyss, causing news about Sparda to become not known to anyone.” “The pa.s.sage closed?” Ca.s.sandra was puzzled. “Then, why could you send Sareth over?”

“This is the reason why I mentioned the two half-demon children of Sparda…” Roy said. “That rift demon used to be in the Purgatory s.p.a.ce over there. According to him, not only did Sparda close the pa.s.sage between the Abyss and the Purgatory s.p.a.ce, but he also closed the pa.s.sage between the Purgatory s.p.a.ce and the human world. He and countless demons have been trapped in that Purgatory World for many years. But for some reason, Sparda got together with a human woman and gave birth to half-demon twins. Perhaps it was to leave his inheritance for his descendants. Sparda divided his power into two parts, and together with the key used to seal the pa.s.sage, he handed them to the two children, causing Sparda’s strength to decrease greatly and the power of the seal on the pa.s.sages to weaken. The rift demon took this opportunity to return to the Abyss from the Purgatory World there…”

“I see…” Ca.s.sandra nodded thoughtfully. “This should be something that happened recently, right?”

“Yes, it happened in the past few decades. The rift demon doesn’t know how long exactly, as his notion of time is already chaotic,” Roy said. “According to him, ever since the seal loosened, the demons in the Purgatory s.p.a.ce have been heading to the human world to kill the two half-demon children of Spada under the instructions of Mundus.”

“In that case, doesn’t that mean that the demons there are very hostile toward half-demons?!” Ca.s.sandra suddenly realized the problem. “Sareth is also a half-demon. Once the demons know his ident.i.ty, won’t he be in the same danger?!”

“Although Sareth is only a child, the two children of Sparda are already adults and have obtained great strength!” Roy said. “If the demons discover Sareth’s ident.i.ty, those two will also discover his ident.i.ty. If I’m not wrong, they will help him.”

Roy left one thing unsaid. Although he did not know the exact situation of the Devil May Cry world, he knew that Dante and Vergil should still be around, and one of them should be helping Sareth.

These two children of Sparda had different personalities because of their childhood experiences. Dante recognized his human bloodline, so he had always been hunting demons to help humans. Vergil recognized his demon bloodline more, so he became cold and ruthless in pursuit of power. These two half-demons would be like Sareth’s role models, depending on which one eventually chose…

However, Roy’s explanation could not make Ca.s.sandra feel relieved. Seeing her frost aura spreading all over her body due to her anxiety, he could not help but have a cold expression. “Ca.s.sandra, you have to understand that danger definitely exists, but this is Sareth’s personal experience. You can’t destroy it just because you’re worried about him. Unless he summons you on his own, I won’t allow you to go to that world to help him. Understand?”

“Yes, Master…” Ca.s.sandra sighed and floated out of the hall.

Seeing her leave, Roy could not help but shake his head. When it comes to Sareth, Ca.s.sandra is still so emotional. Could she be a fake lich?

I wonder if it’s because of my demon blood… After all, Ca.s.sandra isn’t a lich transformed through ritual…

After putting aside his various thoughts, Roy sat back on the throne and continued studying the Demon Bible.

And in the Devil May Cry world, Sareth, who did not know what was happening in the Abyss, was still working hard to complete Roy’s missions…
