Novel Full 235 Talking With Diablo Part 1
In the end, since I was all mellowed out from my book, I let everyone have the night off and called Diablo to talk with me about demons. “You called, Master?”
“Yes, Diablo, please sit.” In the living area of my room, I had Annie prepare some tea and snacks. Grace was also here since Adel screamed all kinds of things about me being alone with a man, a demon at that, in my room. Grace had part of my demonic blood in her now as well, which caused her to look partially the way she does, so although Adel wanted to be here, I told her to go rest. But I must say her puppy dog eyes when she tried to plead with me to let her stay was almost hard to resist.
“So the reason I called you here is to find out more about demons. As you know, I also have demon blood in me. To be exact, my bloodline is a mix of dragon and demon called the dragonic. I have an ancient will deep inside me that will come out every so often and makes me go kind of crazy. I will not hesitate to kill anyone. It has come out multiple times, and to be honest, it scares me as it feels like my body is being taken over. It mostly comes out when something happens or threatens those close to me.” I explained. While it did not come out during the times that I was in the dungeon and fighting the goblins, but I think this was the same as when I was commanding the soldiers during the Norian invasion. Because my mind was preoccupied, it suppressed my ancient will enough to keep it from coming out..
“Hmmm… I am not sure about this world’s demons. But there are also many different kinds of demons as well. Demons come in all shapes and sizes, just like you humans and demi humans do. To actually put it simply, to us demons humans and demi humans are one and the same, just different features. Although, Master seems to fall under a whole different category.
“As a dragon, you are of a breed of your own. You are not a demi human nor a human. You are a dragon, which sets you apart from the rest. As for demons, as I said, we come in different varieties, just like humans. We have ones that are more civil and those who are very violent and want to destroy everything. There is even a single demon king who is like this. But he is kept in check by the others. While it might seem strange to you, the demon world is not much different from this world.
“We have our cities and our own law systems along with kingdoms, and as you may have guessed, there are seven altogether. While there are some kingdoms that seem more lawless, there is actually a kind of balance in the demon world. Demons, by instinct, seek destruction and chaos. We were born from it, to begin with. We can be said to be a byproduct of the humans’ hate and desires. The same goes for the angel race. They were born from humans’ love and care. Lady Grace falls under the category of a mix of both. My guess is that at some point in this world, a human and an angel mated, giving birth to a half breed that then, over the years, passed on to each new generation.
“And in your case. A dragon and a demon mated, giving birth to the dragonic. It is just that this demon seems to be part of the violent faction and may very well be King Hades himself. He did not have a tendency to spread his seed long ago.” Diablo paused as he took a sip of his tea. But his words left me thinking. What exactly are demons and angels to begin with? To be honest, Diablo’s explanation had many loopholes as well.
“I know what you are thinking.” Diablo interrupted my train of thought. “What I just said is based on the demon realm I am from. I do not know if more exist. This world could very well have had demons and angels living on it at some point. Your blood is familiar to me. The scent that comes from it. And I mean from the both of you. But I could be wrong. It could come from another race altogether similar to my kind.”
“No, I know for a fact that the blood of a dragonic is a mix of demon and dragon blood. My system is different from others. I have the ability to evolve using something called an evolution stone. Well, the first evolution was a single evolution stone, while my next one requires six more.” The final boss also dropped a few evolution stones, bringing me that much closer to my next evolution.
“I see… Evolution…. Do you know what your next evolution will bring?” Diablo asked.
“I am not sure. I only know its name, Dragonic Princess. I will not know more until after I evolve, sadly. At least I hope….” It was kind of annoying how the information for the next tier was blocked. I could only hope that it would give more information after my evolution. While I was kind of nervous about evolving, I still planned to do it anyway. The stronger I can get, the better with how this world seems to be slowly moving towards war.
“Hmm… Dragonic Princess. I wonder… Are you sure this is a race from this world?” Diablo asked. And he had good reason to. I even had my doubts as well but then the thing with Grace happened.
“I thought this as well but then Grace….” I looked over at Grace causing Diablo to nod.
“Yes, this does throw that idea out the window.” Diablo contemplated for a few moments before leaning back in his seat. “If the dragonic of this world indeed descended from my demon world then I think we would need to speak with Hades.”
