Chapter 29: Demon God Of Pride
Boros family garden...
After leaving the Cale office, I came to the Boros family garden.
On the way here I had many questions, For example-How is Adele's bloodline connected to Demon Gods?
...And which Demon God exactly?
Sadly I know that I won't receive any answers to these questions so all I could was put a hold on these questions and practice the Mana breathing method I had received from Cale.
There is also a reason why I came to the garden instead of practising back at my quarters.
The Mana Breathing method I received was connected to the Demon God, I don't know what will happen to a small room where I'm staying.
I don't want my only home destroyed just like that.
I sat crossed legs on green grass and began to chant the mantra that Cale had taught me.
"Demon God, make your servant aware of the flow of chaos…"
Among them, I memorized the first phrase and tried to use mana.
That was when
"Demon, chaos. Demon, chaos…"
Every time I suddenly repeated the words demon and chaos, I was enveloped in a strange tickling sensation on one side of my chest.
Why?
The flow of mana within my body began to speed up, my breathing becoming rough as the beets of sweat started to appear on my forehead.
Soon enough I was able to find the causes of this.
It's because of Adele's [interest] characteristic.
The [Interest] characteristic leans towards his demon side and demons love chaos.
As a half-demon, Adele loves Chaos.
Not wanting to lose this momentum, I began to count the rest of the verse.
"But do not put me to the test. If you do, I will glorify your name."
at the end of the last verse.
-Shhhh!!
An unknown Mana, That had been sleeping somewhere in his chest, began to stir.
Then, he opened his mouth slightly at the strong and intimidating energy that came over him.
'This Mana is different... '
It wasn't the human mana I used to use, but the demonic energy that demons use was responding.
It was only then that I realized the essence of the Mana Breathing that Cale had given me.
Boros's mana breathing method is to make demons grow stronger rapidly.
If I tried to master Boros' mana breathing method, I would never be able to use mana as a human again.
'I have to choose.'
Whether to choose human mana or whether to choose demonic energy.
'Isn't that answer already decided?'
Of course, I would choose, the "Boros family mana technique."
With a sense of resolve coursing through me, I made my decision. I would embrace the Boros family mana technique, even if it meant relinquishing my connection to human mana.
Closing my eyes, I delved deeper into the mantra, allowing the powerful energy of the demon god to flow through me. With each repetition, I felt myself becoming more attuned to the chaotic energy that pulsed within me, my body thrumming with newfound strength and vitality.
But along with the surge of power came a sense of uncertainty. By choosing to embrace the demonic energy, I was veering further away from my human roots. It was a decision that would undoubtedly shape the course of my journey in the demon world.
Yet, despite the risks, I knew in my heart that this was the path I was meant to take. I had been given a rare opportunity to unlock my true potential, and I was determined to seize it with both hands.
As I continued to practice the Boros family mana technique, I could feel myself growing stronger with each passing moment. The energy of the demon god flowed through me like a raging river, filling me with a sense of power and purpose that I had never experienced before.
I lost sense of time as I kept repeating those chants again and again.
Then as I uttered those chants again, this time something happens
- Demon God, bring the flow of chaos to your servant... … I will make it glorious.
When I used my mana and read all the phrases.
Hung-. Hung-.
For some reason, an unpleasant wind passed through my spine.
I turned around in shock and had to open my eyes wide.
'It's a mixed breed.'
A grey fog whose exact appearance I could not discern was staring at me.
The sight of the fog sweeping over my body gave me goosebumps.
I barely opened my mouth, I was reluctant to leave due to fear.
"you are… … ."
Ho, I never thought I would talk to someone like him.
Black Fog uses archaic vocabulary.
It was a strange sight that I had never seen before, but I was able to recognize the fog's identity right away.
'Demon God.'
Seven beings formed and established the Demon World in the distant beginnings of time.
One of them spoke to me in response to Boros' mana method.
'It doesn't seem to be that child's bloodline. Ah, he has the blood of a filthy traitor.'
"… … ."
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
It was because I realized what the word dirty traitor meant.
It probably refers to Ashen, who betrayed and massacred the demons.
Since I seemed to be convinced of my identity, it was my turn to receive confirmation of the fog's identity as well.
"…Are you a demon?"
'Yes, the world calls me the demon god of pride.'
A truly unexpected being suddenly appeared.
What kind of entity is a demon?
Isn't he an ancient god?
Such a being appears before me because I have been practising the mana breathing methods of the Boros family.
I knew that mana breathing that belongs to the Boros family was connected to a demon god but I didn't expect that demon god would appear in front of me.
"Are you going to kill me?"
I asked slowly, my words seemed to be fumbling but I held in deep fear that was crawling within me as I said those words.
"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done the moment I appeared here, you traitor child."
Right, killing someone like me is killing an ant for a demon god.
Before I wasn't sure but now I am The existence in front of me is...A Demon God.
