Demon God

Chapter 36: Talk between the two



Desire opened his eyes when he woke up. It seems that he fell asleep when he was contemplating the book of No-Attribute Magic.

The scenery of the purple sky seemed to tell that it was still fine to sleep.

However...

"Oy! Get up! We're leaving now!" A voice called out to Desire, who was lazing around in the ground.

It was Desire's new master, Lionel.

Of course, Desire had no plans to stay in the ground when his master had already called him.

"Yes...Hmm?" When Desire was about to get up, he turned his head towards his master's way, and there he saw Varyce clinging to his arm.

'W-what's happening?' Desire thought as he looked over the two with a dumbfounded face.

They weren't like this yesterday, and they weren't showing that much closeness in front of Desire.

It seems they got close all of a sudden just by spending one night together.

No...should he say that they broke the ice that has formed between them during the night?

Anyway, Desire stood up and walked towards his master.

He actually had something to ask him that he wanted to know the answer, right now.

He walked towards them, and he saw Liya giggling to herself right beside Varyce.

'Why are they...?'

It was then.

Varyce's alluring voice could be heard as she spoke to Lionel.

"You~ still a beast on the bed!" She spoke with excitement as she stuck her chest on Lionel's right arm.

"Who do you think I am?!" Lionel also stated proudly, his hair fluttered in the air.

Desire just walked to them without minding what they were saying. After all, he already knew what they were talking about.

They were so loud yesterday that it was impossible not to hear them.

When Desire was right in front of Lionel, he spoke with a respectful tone.

"What should I call you?"

This was the question that he had ever since yesterday.

They now have a master and disciple relationship. It would be wrong for Desire to call him Lionel or whatever he wants.

The master has to have a superior relationship between the two, so his disciple wouldn't disrespect his authority.

However...

"Just call me Lionel. So that people also wouldn't think that you are a disciple of mine."

Lionel stated coolly as if he practiced this line hundreds of times.

He then spoke again to Varyce.

"It's time. I have to leave."

"Hmm. Yes..."

Her voice became dispirited all of a sudden, and her mood seems to have gone down.

And Lionel saw that, so he brought his mouth closer to Varyce's ears and said.

"Next time we meet...will be better."

Pufff! With smoke escaping from the holes of her ears, Varyce's face became red with embarrassment as she nodded her head rather submissively.

Lionel then turned his head towards Liya and just nodded his head.

Liya also nodded her head as a sign of her answer, and finally.

Lionel turned his head towards Desire, who was standing dazedly.

"Let's go! To Jakart!"

****

Continent Aduminion.

Continent Aduminion is a big continent that houses over a hundred kingdoms and a few empires.

It is a continent that has a large mass of land, river, and also seas. It is where the masses gather.

There are other continents in the world, but Continent Aduminion is the most populated continent right now.

There were many reasons, but it is all because of the Dungeons.

Dungeons.

Dungeons are what people call a city of monsters that just appeared out of nowhere.

These Dungeons are then classified into several ranks that signifies the danger level of the place.

Of course, the thing used for this is the device called Limiter.

Anyway, these Dungeons are full of monsters even if they are of the lowest rank.

However, that only means that the monsters were weaklings that could be defeated by anyone.

These Dungeons have a lord that rules over them, which is called the Monster Lord.

Anyway, the Dungeons appears randomly that no one can pinpoint it exactly, but one could guess the general direction.

Everyone fights over the Dungeon rights because of its extreme wealth and hidden powers that could make a person stronger than when he entered the Dungeon.

And now, Vakigo kingdom is in the east of the Haroldus kingdom.

Vakigo is a big country that is many times bigger than Haroldus kingdom, and it had several guilds and clans lording over its cities.

And because of the Dungeons, those guilds and clans may clash just before entering it.

No one would dare spit out some words if they were going to fight.

After all, who would dare question the top? No one. Unless you have some wishes to die, you won't mess with them.

And Vakigo's biggest city yet not its capital, the Jakart City is the home base of the Lion Clan of Lionel.

The Lion Clan lords over the area that even the nobles couldn't defy its words.

It is usually peaceful during these times. However, because of the appearance of a Dungeon in the east of the Jakart, things were getting tense.

Clans were getting ready to start a fight, and Guilds were starting to announce their right over the Dungeon.

The Adventurers, who are basically free men, were starting to gather on either side and reap some benefits in the situation.

"Now, do you understand all that? You bastard?" Lionel said to the guy sitting in front of him in a carriage.

It was Desire who was listening to him quietly.

"Yes. Lionel, so basically, the Jakart City is on the verge of war right now because of the Dungeon that appeared?"

Desire said calmly as he remembered what Lionel said about the situation.

Dungeons are basically treasures that everyone wants to enter, while Guilds and Clans are fighting over them.

"That's right. Although we, the Clans and Guilds, are officially Adventurers, we are actually not. You better remember that so you won't get confused."

"Why are you not Adventurers? I don't get it."

Lionel smiled a little bit before answering Desire's question.

"Adventurers are those trying to become a superpower through one's might alone. However, Clans and Guilds do not rely on one man."

Lionel then pointed to himself before continuing.

"I am the Clan Master of the Lion Clan. I have many men under me, and they are also the Lion Clan's greatest force. We try to become Conquerors with our Clan."

Then Lionel pointed to the outside.

"Adventurers are trying to become Conquerors on their own. That is the difference between us."

It was then.

The quiet Desire tilted his head at the unfamiliar word of Conqueror.

After all, ever since they left Skinjur, never once has Lionel mentioned that word.

"What's a Conqueror?" Desire asked with a question mark over his head.

"Ah, right. I forgot to mention that."

Conquerors are those who conquered and killed the Monster Lord of a Rank B to S Dungeons.

They are basically considered as overlords because of the might and power that they have gained by killing the Monster Lord.

However, the difficulty of doing that is huge. A Dungeon clearing of a Rank B Dungeon or above isn't even possible with just one team, and killing a Monster Lord is harder than that.

And this is where the main difference between the Adventurers and the Clans or Guilds comes from.

Adventurers will try to overcome the Monster Lord by themselves and try to get all of the benefits for themselves.

Many have done this, but few have succeeded.

And those who have succeeded have bigger names than those who are part of the Clans or Guilds who have become a Conqueror.

However, to the normal people or normal Adventurers, Conquerors are still Conquerors.

Just because they did things differently doesn't mean they'll be treated that badly.

"That's what Conquerors are. I am a Conqueror myself when I was still Adventuring, but that was a Rank B Dungeon. So I am considered weak among the leagues of the Conquerors."

If one kills a Rank B, A, or S Monster Lords, they would be Conquerors.

However, there are also grades among Conquerors.

They differentiate Conquerors by stating what they have killed in the past.

"Hmmm. So, what lies in a Dungeon anyway, Lionel?" Desire asked with quite an expectant tone.

After all, Lionel said all those cool things that Desire couldn't contain himself even with his trait.

Well, if there were a bad part, that would be that it was a monster who has to be killed.

Either way, Desire doesn't plan to nitpick on that part.

After all, Desire hasn't experienced seeing it.

"The Top is what we call it. But, I won't tell you right now. You're too weak. Get stronger and see for yourself just what is inside a Dungeon that could make us strong guys crazy for another one."

Desire nodded his head.

He had no problems if he was going to get stronger.

After all, that was one of his goals.

"Got it! Lionel!"

Desire said as his body swayed from right to left from the humping of the horse.
