Chapter 58 (1/2)

Hmm? Someone’s there?

Roy had specifically chosen a remote corner in the camp so that he would not be disturbed. Unexpectedly, someone still wandered here.

He turned his head and found a succubus standing not far behind him. This succubus was one of the high-level demons that Xeron had summoned. She might have noticed Roy hiding in the shade of the tree while passing by. She stared at the strange fruit in Roy’s hand.

Roy ignored her and bit into the Dark-Dark Fruit. An inexplicable taste spread in his mouth, making Roy’s entire expression change!

The concept of the Dark-Dark Fruit came from Roy’s memory, and in his memory, Devil Fruits were disgusting. However, Roy did not know how disgusting it was specifically. The system could not make any accurate references, so it simply defined it literally.

The system actually integrated all sorts of disgusting references from a simple ‘disgusting’ phrase. The taste was unimaginable!

If this Dark-Dark Fruit was the enhanced version, then the disgusting taste also enhanced! After taking a bite, his whole face distorted!

He wanted to spit the fruit out of his mouth, lie on the ground, and vomit a few liters of bile.

Roy was regretting it. He had only remembered to eliminate the Devil Fruit’s weaknesses. How could he have forgotten to improve its taste?

But in order to obtain the power within it, Roy forced it down and swallowed the first bite even though it was disgusting.

Seeing how a mere low-rank demon was ignoring her, the succubus was very annoyed. How dare he ignore the words of a high-level demon? Who gave him the courage?

The succubus had yet to reach high-rank demon. Strictly speaking, she could only be regarded as the top of the middle rank. But for low-rank demons, she was a high-level demon…

Although the succubus was angry, her instincts told her that the strange fruit in Roy’s hand should be something good! This low-rank demon actually ignored her and bit into it as though he could not wait. Moreover, he was hiding in this remote corner and avoiding others. If it wasn’t something good, why would he do that?

With that thought, the succubus was convinced and immediately walked toward Roy.

She also saw Roy’s distorted expression, but she did not believe it one bit. Is this an act to prevent me from taking it away from him?

The succubus sneered inwardly. Kid, your acting is too excessive. I knew it was fake at a glance! What can taste so bad?

Therefore, after coming in front of Roy, she stretched her hand out. “Give it to me!”

Snatching something from someone of a lower hierarchy seemed so natural. This was a law of life for demons. Roy knew this, which was why he had not hesitated to take a bite just now. Roy acted as though he was reluctant to hand over the fruit to the succubus. “My Lady, it’s just a strange fruit!”

“I’ll know if it’s a fruit once I taste it myself!” The Succubus snorted coldly.

“Are you sure you want to?” Roy asked again unwillingly. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s really disgusting!”

“Nonsense!” the Succubus shouted. “I’ll be the one to make that judgment!”

“All right! Since you insist.” Roy handed over the fruit ‘unwillingly’ to her.

It did not matter anyway since he obtained the power after the first bite. What was left was a super disgusting skin!
