Chapter 368: Asmodaois (1/2)

”Do you know him?” Lawrend couldn't help but ask Aezel after hearing the surprise in her voice.

”Yes, I do, but I think I got the wrong person,” Aezel replied.

The guard opened the door, and they entered the office. There were various furnished wooden types of furniture inside, and a man was sitting on an elegantly designed table.

”What are you doing here!?” Aezel shouted after seeing the man behind the table.

”You're here!?” Asmodaois exclaimed and stood up from his seat.

”The two of you know each other?” Lawrend asked.

He felt shocked as he knew that Aezel was from the demon world. That would mean that the man in front of them was also a demon, but he didn't look the part, so Lawrend became confused as a result.

”Guard, leave,” Asmodaois ordered.

”Yes.” The guard responded and left.

”I-Is that really you?” Asmodaois asked.

There was a look of disbelief on his face. He raised his two hands and put Aezel's face in between them while he was still a distance away from her. [AN: Imagine looking at a telescope.]

”What are you doing here?” Aezel asked.

”I'm here to look for you,” Asmodaois replied.

”...Why are you the City Lord of this city?” Aezel asked.

”Forgive me, Eldest Sister! I disguised myself as a human and decided to track down your whereabouts,” Asmodaois replied.

”Hmph. I will scold you later,” Aezel said with a cold look on her face.

”Y-Yes.” Asmodaois shivered, seeing the look on her face.

”Master, this is my Younger Brother, Asmodaois. He's a demon just like me,” Aezel said.

”Master? Did you become a slave!?” Asmodaois shouted in disbelief.

”I'm Master's maid! Don't degrade me to such a level,” Aezel corrected him angrily.

”Yes…” Asmodaois nodded his head meekly.

His reactions were a stark contrast to the huge build and powerful body he had.

”How did you even become the city lord of this city? You're a weakling, right?” Aezel asked.

”I used my magic,” Asmodaois replied.

”...”

Aezel placed her hand on her temple and rubbed it in frustration.

”Master, forgive my little brother. He doesn't know what he's doing,” Aezel apologized to him in a bow.

”Why? What's the problem with his magic?” Lawrend asked.

”He used hypnotism, Master. He knows Darkness Magic that can hypnotize people,” Aezel replied.

”Really? How effective is it?” Lawrend asked.

”He's a Commoner Demon when I left, so he should be equivalent to a High Mage. And because of the uniqueness of his Darkness Magic, he could use it on unguarded people a level higher than him,” Aezel explained.

”Unguarded?” Lawrend repeated in confusion.

”Yes. If you guard yourself against his attack, you would be able to stop his magic from working,” Aezel replied.
