Chapter 143 - 132 (1/2)
As I used my trump card the relief that I thought I would feel didn't come, instead a worry and a frown for how calm the Demon seems to be even after realizing we outnumber him and have just disarmed him.
It wouldn't be a situation where one would be calm and carefree like this, but here he is.
As we stop to breathe, a graveyard for a battlefield, I end up asking:
”Why did you do this?” Even though I knew these lives meant nothing to him, not the dare consequences of his actions, I still ask: ”Why did you have to kill them all? They got nothing to do with you, they didn't even intend to interfere with your plans, so why?!”
The moment I ask he seems a little bit uninterested, kicking the hand of a body that had landed on his fit in the commotion, as one would do to a meaningless object. Without a single care or respect.
”Is very simple, they did not play a major part in my plans so to avoid any trouble in the future I decided to strike while they are with their guards lowered and not have troubles with them in the future. Plus their lands interest me, so I'm thinking of putting trustworthy humans in care of them.” You mean to control them to take care of it for you don't you?
”Really how important can your plans be for you to get this far?” He stops and looks at me then, moving his head to the side as if pondering about it as he says:
”Curious aren't we? Very well, since we will end this tonight, why not tell you? I bet you are curious as to how I managed to grow so fast and how I got to you so easily…”
That makes me really curious indeed, and I cannot stop my ears from perching up and my eyes to stare attentively, which earns a chuckle from his part. ”So eager, very well, let me tell you…”
”Let's just say that your friend Leonel wasn't the only that came back in time with those little tricks of his…”
”What?!” I say in shock, not believing it for a second, so I stay in silence to hear him as he continues:
”Yeah, I know all about it, how you lost your precious brother back then, how you massacred an entire race for that, how the continent burned with your rage, so you can imagine my surprise when I came back and not only that but your brother, your precious little brother was safe and sound… And I know of things that even you do not know about…All my memories were intact from the beginning.”
”I know a lot about the future, so I prepared myself for it and… well, changed it, just like you did to your brother, and know my kin is prospering, is alive and growing stronger by the day.” I frown at that, attentive at the words he used.
