Chapter 812 Receiving ’Gifts’
Chapter 812 Receiving 'Gifts'
Since Lawrend had the demon bloodline, they expected him to help them. It was an obligation he had for becoming a part of the demon race.
"..."
Lawrend was speechless as he looked at the expectant looks on their faces. He planned to use them to help fight back against the angels and the other two great clans, but he thought they would be against it even at this point.
Them asking him to help them was very uncharacteristic of them.
"The demon race hangs by a tiny thread. We have no one that will protect us from the Goddess. Our legendary Divine Demon had never shown any interest in helping us," Sanaka explained. She understood the confusion he was feeling.
Looks of sadness simultaneously appeared on their faces. They all knew they had someone that could possibly help reverse their situation, but that person never showed themself.
After so long, none of them were even sure about that person's gender. He could be a he or a she.
Most of them expected the legendary Divine Demon to be a woman. After all, women were the ones in power in the Demon World.
"I know where he is," Lawrend replied.
"Ah!"
They screamed in shock. Excitement filled their faces as the thought of finally being able to beg that Divine Demon for help was possible.
"I will kill him one day," Lawrend said and his eyes flashed with coldness.
West. He would kill West for Valentina. It was his duty to soothe Valentina's resting soul.
"You're making it harder and harder to work together!" Krives shouted in anger.
He was the type of person who would ask for help, but be an asshole. It was hard for them to feel motivated to help him.
"You don't know the full story," Lawrend responded and rolled his eyes.
If they knew Valentina's story, they would understand why he was upset. They would probably be shocked that this 'legendary Divine Demon' they were talking about was a pure human.
The rise of the demon race was still unknown for Lawrend, but there were clues everywhere that he noticed.
Demons seemed to be able to become Fallen Angels. It was proven after Aezel became a Fallen Angel when she improved her bloodline.
"Let's have a heart to heart discussion next week at this same place," Sanaka said.
She looked around at the others, and they nodded their heads at her in agreement.
"I'm fine with that. We need accomodations too," Lawrend replied.
He was tired after fighting against them. It was also a good moment to let them think about things for the future and give him a breather.
"That will be settled by my assistant," Krives said.
"Don't try any tricks," Lawrend warned. He felt like he had to say it.
He knew the clause of the soul contract, but he could never be too sure about it.
"Master, let's go!"
Elena turned back to her human form. She immediately went to his side and embraced his arm in between her voluptuous chest.
"Let's go."
Lawrend nodded his hand and waved at his entourage. His children took one last look at the Heaven Demons before following his lead.
They headed out to the city. At this moment, almost all of the demons in Central Demonic were alerted.
They watched as the fierce fight ended peacefully. Many of them sighed big reliefs, but some of them were upset that the Heaven Demons didn't kill Lawrend's group.
As soon as his group flew over to the side of some demons, they hurriedly created a 500 meter wide circle that they avoided.
Demons valued strength more than humans. They wouldn't be able to blame anyone if they offended Lawrend's group that could evenly fight against their Heaven Demons.
While waiting for their accommodations, Lawrend's group went around the area and browsed various shops. Some things were interesting, and those shop owners would immediately gift it to them.
"What if we say we want the whole shop?" Veronica asked and smiled slyly.
"U-Uhhh…"
The shop owner sweated visibly and begged at Lawrend with his eyes. This shop was his lifeblood. He didn't want to 'gift' it to them.
"She's joking," Lawrend said with a wry smile on his face.
"Fu, fu, fu. Father is being too nice," Veronica chuckled and walked away.
The shop owner released a huge sigh of relief and repeatedly bowed his head. He was thankful that Lawrend was magnanimous.
"Here! Please take this, Great Sir!"
The shop owner passed over a red coin to Lawrend.
Lawrend became curious at the weird design it had. Written on it was a word he couldn't understand.
"What is this?" Lawrend asked.
"This is my family's heirloom. I don't know what it's for, and I have tried to know, but it just seemed like a metal coin wrapped in wax. I have no use for it except my mother told me to keep it hidden forever," the shop owner replied.
Lawrend flipped it over in his hand and looked at the backside. It was the same design as the front.
It was about as large as his palm. It was similar to a circular biscuit in size.
He poured his All-Elemental magic into it. The wax exterior suddenly became soft.
Lawrend stopped pouring his mana and the red wax covering the metal coin froze again.
"Hmm… Interesting. I will keep this," Lawrend replied.
They left the shop. They didn't have anything to get in the shop anymore.
"Heaven Demon Lawrend, please. Your accommodations are ready."
A beautiful and slender demon woman flew over from the sky. She smiled at him.
She wore elegant clothing that would not give anyone feelings of lust. Instead, it gave off a feeling of purity and calmness.
She was definitely an oddball compared to the demon women that Lawrend had met in the past.
Lawrend nodded his head and followed behind her with his group.
They flew in the direction of the twelve pillars. One of the damaged ones was already repaired.
"This was the pillar of the late Heaven Demon Gilgamesh. Please make yourself at home. This will be yours for the time being," the demon escort said.
