Chapter 134 - The Skull (2/2)
Shadow immediately brought out the canister from his bag and gave it to him. ”Let me check the item first before I make any decision. Shadow please come with me I need you to report what happened,” said Luciophel beckoning him to stand above the array and activated it. There were immediately teleported to a similar room which was completely empty. Luciophel immediately cast a spell that went into Shadow. Balthazar felt extremely calm and serene for a few seconds before the feeling passed.
”Well, you are not possessed. Any demon that could completely hide from my spell without any symptoms wouldn't need to sneak into the city,” said Luciophel. ”I heard from Faroon that the demon had skills unlike any he had seen. So, I would like to confirm if it is from you.”
”Blacks smoke like armor, red eyes, head like a scaly cat, called itself Barakdoros and tried to become huge and explode,” said Shadow covering the main points.
”Huh,” said Luciophel as he opened the canister. ”This looks like a hibernating higher demon, but it hardly has any demonic energy that I could feel. Moreover, Barakdoros was one of the seven kings of the demons and they say he was killed by the present emperor when he deposed the old one.”
”I have no ideas, if he actually is the one whom he claimed to be. Could be a clone, but he was definitely not a higher demon. Else I would have been killed easily,” said Shadow.
”Hmm,” said Luciophel thing as he observed the demon skull. ”It is quite strong like those of the higher demons though, but very hollow. I guess that those myths are true. Anyways, this will provide to be a valuable material to forge things.”

”10000 exp! That puts me directly in level 14 again,” thought Balthazar but the other rewards weren't what he had hoped for. He had hoped that he would receive something like a spell or armament or a tool for his efforts. ”At least, the contribution points and reputation points could have been more,” thought Shadow greedily.
Luciophel transported them both out of the secret chamber back to the room with Kade. ”I apologize for the secrecy. I had to make sure that your apprentice wasn't possessed or that the thing he brought wasn't dangerous,” said Luciophel.
”What did he actually do that requires you to be that worried,” said Kade. Even though Kade was a master forger and part of the forging association, it wasn't that he only knew forging. He was a sure to be powerful, else he wouldn't be able to handle strong materials and become a master forger. So, it was confusing for him to see that a low-level adventurer that was his apprentice could have something that Luciophel would be wary of.
”It is nothing dangerous. Just something that wasn't seen for a long time,” said Luciophel as brought out the demon's skull.
Kade gasped as he had a look at it. ”Is it what I think it is?” asked Kade as he moved closer to inspect it.
”The demon from whom he got it was a minor demon, but it called itself Barakdoros,” explained Luciophel.
”Barakdoros?! Are you sure?” asked Kade looking at Luciophel inquiringly and then looked at his apprentice. ”But there is hardly any demonic energy. Isn't one of these supposed to be covered in thick black energy shield?”
”We think that he might have been after something which needs to be kept a secret for now. It is could have become very weak after so many battles. Barakdoros was someone hunted by both men and demons alike,” said Luciophel.
”But that is beside the point. You have seen the skull. It is made of a strong material. Can you work with it? The lack of the demonic energy should make it easier, doesn't it?” asked Luciophel.
”Yes, sure. I am just worried it might be a trap and the energy might spill out during the process,” said Kade looking at the skull like it was his own son. ”It usually requires a grandmaster to handle the energy, but without it I can surely make something useful of it.”
”You don't need to worry about the energy. I will make preparations for such an event. The closest grandmaster forger is Seven Swords Empire and I don't want to them know of it,” said Luciophel.
”Naturally, we can't let such a treasure out of the kingdom,” said Kade. It was an obvious thing for both of them. Such a material would be very useful in creating a very strong artifact. He was looking at the skull in amazement but slowly his expression turned around like he saw sad. ”But there is one problem,” he added.
