Chapter 811 Shocking Bloodline Origin
The soul contract finished fairly quickly. Their glowing bodies dimmed out and returned to their prior appearances.
The soul contract would prevent Lawrend from attacking, ordering, or letting his subordinates from attacking the Heaven Demons unless they were the first ones to attack.
A similar clause was set for the Heaven Demons. They weren't allowed to plan anything against Lawrend behind his back.
This made it so Lawrend and the Heaven Demons could be put at ease around each other. The soul contract would enable them to speak their minds with each other without worrying.
"I want to know everything about the Demon World. I will help the Demon World grow," Lawrend said.
He glanced around at the Heaven Demons. His words came as a shock to most of them as he initially said that he would conquer the Demon World.
Well, it was still in Lawrend's plan. He was just approaching the problem in a different and more civilized way.
"Before that, I want to know why you are here," Krives responded.
They were curious as to why a talented human with the smell of a demon would be here. They could only imagine that he was here for a not-so-good reason.
"I was chased here by the Spring Clan and the Zephyr Clan," Lawrend replied.
At that time, he wasn't a Heaven Mage yet, so it was his priority to escape with his family.
"Why?"
"I have the blood of the demons in me. Look."
Lawrend opened his hand and lifted it up. The black fog made up of darkness mana flowed out and formed a devilish flame.
It was black in color and burned silently. It was sneaky as evil and ephemeral like a ghost. It was a combination of darkness and fire magic.
Not only that, Lawrend's pupils turned as black as the abyss. His hair changed color to a deep black.
It was obvious as could be that Lawrend had the bloodline of a demon.
"..." x9
The Heaven Demons were confused and befuddled. They did think that Lawrend was a demon when they first saw him, but then they changed that to a human once they learned he was from the Ignis Clan.
Now that they thought about it, it was indeed weird that they saw Lawrend as a demon when they first saw him. They turned to his children and noticed that most of them were humans.
The opinions of the others quickly changed. Their eyes widened and their thoughts ran wild.
They simultaneously looked over at Juju and understood why she betrayed them. She actually found a half-demon, half-human hybrid!
She definitely wanted to reproduce with him and produce powerful offspring in the future. It all made sense all of a sudden.
"Master is the greatest talent in the Human World, but he was betrayed and almost killed when they found out that he had the slightest bit of the demon bloodline," Aezel said with a tone of indignation in her voice.
One could imagine from hearing her voice the suffering that Lawrend had experienced trying to escape and survive from his pursuers.
"You should have told us sooner earlier…" Krives said regretfully.
"Ahahaha! I didn't come here for all of you to pity me," Lawrend laughed.
He didn't like being seen as weak. After all, this was the demon world. He needed to appear strong, or they would never listen to his words once he took the position.
He also wanted to try using his newfound strength. It was unfortunate that he wasn't able to push himself to the limit because Krives immediately ordered a ceasefire.
It was a smart move from her, but Lawrend would have liked it if she became a little bit more stubborn.
Krives glared at Lawrend. She was trying to be nice, but his response ruined the bit of pity and empathy she felt for him. All she wanted to do right now was to smack him till he went unconscious.
"As a man and a master of several maids, I have my pride. I won't beg for help unless it's my last resort," Lawrend replied.
"Who is your ancestor?" Sanaka asked.
She floated forward and arrived before Lawrend. She looked him up and down. Her gaze was very intense as she gazed at every inch of his visible skin.
"Aezel, who is your ancestor?" Lawrend asked.
"My ancestor was only able to become an Earth Demon. They aren't worth mentioning," Aezel replied.
Lawrend's demon bloodline came from Aezel when he transfused their blood with each other. Her ancestor was Lawrend's ancestor.
"What is going on?" Sanaka asked suspiciously.
The others didn't interrupt but waited for Sanaka's judgment.
"I wasn't born with the demon bloodline. I became one after transfusing my blood with Aezel's," Lawrend explained and pointed at the culprit.
Being the center of attention made Aezel faintly blush. She smiled at them and nodded her head to confirm that he was saying the truth.
The Heaven Demons who thought that they had already received the greatest shock of their lives today, simultaneously widened their eyes. They peered at Lawrend and looked him up and down.
They sniffed their noses even though the distance would only allow them to sniff out a tiny portion of his scent. They still tried all they could to see if that was really the case.
"You're just like a demon, but you have no horns!" Krives exclaimed.
It was the only reason why Lawrend could easily pass up as a human while still looking like a demon to anyone that looked at him once. He was right at the very center.
He was the ideal form of the demons of the demon world. He was the demon they all strived to give birth to.
"You are a legend. Please, help us demons…" Sanaka said and bowed her head.
The others looked at each other and followed her example. It might not seem obvious, but Sanaka was the oldest one out of all of them.
