Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Nero turned to the manager, who was looking at Nero in fear after noticing his fangs when he spoke.

"Which is the best ship you have got?" Nero asked.

"Take any ship!" the man replied, his voice full of fear.

"I don't want any ship." Nero frowned his face and uttered, "I want the best ship you have got."

"Uh…" The man panicked in fear and started stammering on his words. He looked through the papers that had information about the vacant ships.

He gulped down and glanced at Nero, then looked at the paper and said, "Please come with me."

Nero and the rest followed the man, and he took them to a ship sized bigger than all the other ships at the dock.

"This ship can carry you anywhere, and it has all the facilities, including separate bathrooms and—"

Nero interrupted the man and pointed his finger at the ship parked separately at the dock near the mountain: "What about that ship?"

The ship was enormous and looked so imposing and beautiful that as soon as Nero laid eyes on it, he decided to buy it.

"That's…" The man gulped down and stopped breathing in fear. His legs started shaking as he leaned on the table to get support.

"What about that ship?" Nero asked again.

"That is a legendary ship called 'The Argo', which is said to be built by gods. No one has ever sailed it for years, but it has been cleaned every month and maintained well over the years."

"You seriously don't believe in that crap, do you?" Nero raised his brows at the man.

"What crap?"

"Why would the gods build a ship? Don't tell me they have become so weak that they can't even fly anymore," Nero scoffed.

"Well…" The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't worship gods."

"Good." Nero patted the man's shoulder and asserted, "Now, I want that ship."

"That ship needs a crew of a minimum of 40 workers, and we currently don't have that many," the man replied hesitantly.

"I don't need any crew. I just need that damn ship."

"You would at least need a captain to pilot the ship," the man remarked.

"I don't need anyone."

"Okay…" The man was lost in his words, and he had no more excuses to make.

"Where are you planning to sail with that ship?" he asked.

"To the far east, on an island," Nero replied.

"That's—!" The man exclaimed and tripped over the table. He immediately got up and fixed his hat on his head. "You can't go there."

"That's why I am going there," Nero replied nonchalantly.

"No crew or captain would be ready to sail the ship there. You won't find anyone to—"

"You seem to be mistaken. I am not trying to rent the ship; I am going to buy it."

As soon as Nero declared that, the man turned pale, and the papers slipped from his hand.

'This guy is so corny that he has started to annoy me,' Nero groaned inwardly.

After coming back to his senses, the man picked up the papers and stammered as he said, "That ship is a monument, and it's priceless. No value can—" 

Nero grabbed the man's brim hat and filled it with crystals.

"Here." He handed the hat to the man and raised his brows. 

Nero reached his hand forward at the man and asserted, "This should be enough, I assume."

The man looked at the crystals in his hat, then looked at Nero, then at the ship. He looked back and forth between the crystals, Nero, and the ship.

He smiled at Nero and shook his hand, saying, "Let me take you to the ship."

SIDE STORY—  After Chapter 120.

After Nero announced Leto as the first member of his 'Oplympian' sect, Emilia considered herself as a second member.

She watched Nero happily smiling and talking with Leto and Asteria and felt a tight feeling in her chest like never before.

She placed her hand on her chest, thinking the stingy feeling would go away, but it didn't.

Sophia noticed Emilia acting unusual, so she nudged her and whispered in her ears, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Yeah… it's just my chest feels a little…" she stuttered and wondered, "Maybe I ate too much?"

Sophia smiled gently at Emilia and patted her head, saying, "I am sure you will feel better soon enough."

Emilia started pondering on what Sophia meant, but her attention was diverted by Nero's tail, which was wagging left and right in front of Emilia.

'Stupid.' She puffed her cheeks and puckered her lips.

Emilia had a sudden urge to grab Nero's tail and tease him like she did when they were eating.

She slowly moved her hands towards Nero's tail, making sure Nero don't notice. But as soon as she tried to grab it, Nero turned around and looked at Emilia.

Emilia backed off and tried to act innocent.

Nero looked at Asteria and said, "We will depart soon, so spend some alone time with your mother, okay?"

Asteria nodded and hugged Leto.

"Sophi." Nero stared at Sophi, and she nodded in return.

Sophia knew what Nero was trying to say even without him speaking a word.

Then, Nero grabbed Emilia's hand and dragged her along with him after saying, "Let's take a stroll around the palace."

Nero carried Emilia to the top terrace of the palace and showed her the scenery. 

The sun was about to rise, and the black sky had started turning blue. The two moons were shining brightly, but the stars had begun to fade away.

Nero hugged Emilia from behind and whispered in her ears, "How is it?"

"It's amazing," Emilia answered as she leaned back on Nero.

"Is this sunrise more beautiful than the sunrise we saw in Astracliff?" Nero asked as he nibbled Emiia's ear.

"I don't know..."

'That weird feeling from my chest is gone.'

Nero hugged Emilia tightly and asserted, "There will be many more sunrises, and I want to see all of them with you. There may be times where you will experience new feelings and emotions; It's normal since this is the first time for you, but know one thing— that I will always be with you."

"Promise?" Emilia questioned.

"Promise."

"Even if you get more girls?"

"Even if I get more girls."

"No matter what happens?" Emilia asked.

"No matter what happens."

"Always and forever?"

"Always and for forever."

"Even if I don't serve you like I do now?"

"Yes."

"Even though our time together will decrease?"

"Yes."

"Even if… even if…" Emilia started crying, but she herself wasn't aware of it.

Nero turned her around and wiped her tears, then said, "I… I… I lo…."

Nero tried to say something, but his body, soul, and powers weren't letting him. He sighed with a painful expression on his face.

Emilia wrapped her arms around Nero's neck and kissed him before saying, "You better keep your promises, or I will cut your tail."

Nero scoffed and hugged Alina with a genuine smile on his face.

They shared kisses with each other and enjoyed the sunrise together.
