"Your murder order has been announced. You've been on the A rank fugitive list. The high-level clans who want to gain position and recognition from the demon lord are looking for your existence."
"Please don't act rashly for now. We'll protect you at all costs."
Helius and Rafaela break the news after Ken and the demon lord fight. His father had already severed ties with him since finding out that the clan clan he was supposed to exterminate turned out to be saved and transferred into the lowly clan forest.
"Unfortunately I'm different from Rafaela and Helius. Hey boy, isn't our old deal still in effect? Now your position is weak. The demon lord who is your own father gave you an expensive decree and gift for your head. Rather than join the fugitive just to protect you who became the enemy of the entire clan, I would rather join another high-level demon and..."
Not yet had Dalius finished his sentence, Rafaela's red hair that he was able to control pierced the prick of Dalius' entire body like a very pointed needle, blood flowing through the ground rocks.
"Huk... Uhuk...."
Dalius cut the girl's hair with his nails. Screaming furiously, nagging if an impromptu attack is cheating.
"Dalius stupid! Are you planning to betray the person who saved you?!"
"Save what? He's my restraint chain!"
"But you've almost died many times on missions. If the young master had not given you his blood, you would have been a carcass long ago."
"Omong empty! If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have had to fight it out to the point of dying."
"The weak devil doesn't know this self." Rafaela clenched her hands. The black sphere that then turned into a pointy one was already pointing towards Dalius who was standing swiftly on top of the tree. Ready to tear the man's body back.
Helius just sighed. He thought, only a sane demon could be relied upon here. Not caring about Rafaela and Dalius' 'small' quarrels, Helius was watching Ken's strange expression.
A person who was famously cold was now smiling faintly.
"Are you okay, sir?"
Ken nodded. He still did not expect that after being sealed for thousands of years, there was still a chance for him to see the demon clan world and meet with his three most loyal subordinates.
"You don't have to worry. Dalius is not serious, he will not betray you."
"Right, if he was planning to betray me, Dalius wouldn't have said it in front of me. It's just a warning."
"Warnings? What do you mean?"
Ken touched Rafaela's shoulder, controlling her black ball, attacking Dalius with a tube. While Dalius moved nimbly jumping from a tree branch to another branch, mocking Rafaela who always missed.
"Let me kill him, sir don't interfere." Rafaela snorted in annoyance as Ken shook his head. Then release the black ball. The ball fell to the ground into liquid.
"Down, Dalius!" Ken's loud voice instructs.
"Heh boy! Don't rule me. Who are you?!"
Ken took a short breath. He understands what is happening right now. Dalius no longer believed in his power. Dalius was a demon who had the privilege of seeing 'partial' one's memories with just a look in the eye. And he used it on Ken just after Ken had arrived in the demon clan world, Ken had no time to put up protection so that Dalius could peek at his memories, the demon already knew about Ken's precious human girl.
"Down or I'll really let you go!" Ken threatened.
Dalius growling. But he obeyed Ken's orders. Jumping down, making a slight crack in the ground that he poked.
If Ken was a teenager then, maybe all he did was punish this rogue subordinate to the point of making him unable to move for a month. But what was now different, he would no longer use force to subdue someone. Moreover, that someone was quite close to him.
"You and Helius go to the lair of the murderous demons. Finish them off, leave the children less than 10 years old."
"Why should I do it?" Dalius stared at Ken's red netra. Pulling his collar, staring fixedly at his master's eyes. He wanted to curse the weak Ken, who had a heart to forgive, who even now fell for the lowly creatures. Dalius did not accept it!
How could a demon endowed with extraordinary strength even submit in front of a human?!
"Because it's an order from your master." Ken exclaimed, resolute and full of emphasis. Eyes shine. Dalius' knee instantly lost power, falling down on the ground.
"Ka.. you.. shit! Stop shit! Uh..." Dalius' body trembled, he was still trying to stand up. Only half his body, his body was pulled down again making his head was right in front of Ken's feet.
Ken stepped on.
"After this we will not meet again for thousands of years. I hope you're doing my last command well."
At the back, Rafaela and Helius just silently listened. When Ken showed his dark aura, he was being serious. None of them dared to disturb.
The power Ken used on Dalius was 'absolute restraint', Ken could use it at any time when Dalius refused his orders. Dalius will be drawn to the ground, prostrate in front of his master, it can happen after a deal is made. Between master and 'guard dog'.
Although his body was very sick, Dalius forced himself to collect magic mana under his feet, forming a white ball that continued to enlarge, until he and Ken were in the circle of the ball. Separated from Raphael and Helius.
"Damn! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! I know it's fucking! I see more than you know! Goddamnit! You're... What do you plan to do after coming from the future?!"
"What have you seen?" Ken asked. He did not want Dalius to ruin his entire plan.
Dalius turned his eyes. He could not look Ken in the eye.
"Two girls your age."
Ken knows, Dalius saw his raging thoughts. About Alia and Alicia.
"You're planning to throw us out! Then live peacefully in the human world, right?! Cruel devil! Actually the one from the beginning of heartless is you! You only think about yourself!"
Dalius's right.
"You don't even care about us being sealed. Busy fun j*l! You're weak, running away from your responsibilities! Though... We always follow you! That stupid Rafaela and Helius also never stopped admiring you!"
Again, that's true. Even Ken could not answer him, he came here only to retrieve Azura's sword, preventing his father from using the god's sword to finish off the lives of innocent lowly clansmen. Then back to Alicia.
True, he never thought about Dalius, Helius, nor Rafaela. Ken has been living as a center. The most important thing is himself.
Bullshit about all the goodness, Ken just did not want to be overwhelmed with guilt because of the massacre, so he saved the clan clan that should have been destroyed.
"Do as you please." Dalius popped his white ball.
"Let's go Heli. We'll finish the young master's last command."
"Ah... Ja. I'm leaving now. Rafaela, you take care of the young master."
Rafaela nodded.
"What are you talking about with God?" Helius asked, he could see the change in attitude of Dalius and Ken that felt awkward.
"none. Once this mission is complete I'll take a hot bath in the south. You wanna come?"
"No."
All Ken could do was stare guiltily at the backs of his two missing subordinates switching places using teleportation.
"Sir, what are you talking about with Dalius?"
Ken stared at Rafaela's red irises, as well as her red hair. This demon girl, even though she was so strong that she could kill dozens of knights by herself, all Ken now saw was a cute girl with innocent eyes. Someone willing to sacrifice body and soul to protect her.
"Go to the cave of Ilos, you remember my black dragon. Lead him to me. I need it."
"The deformed dragon was no longer able to fly. I can find another ride for you. Or do you just want to ride me?" Rafaela's red eyes flickered flirtatiously.
Ken laughed off. This girl hasn't changed at all.
Without him noticing, Rafaela also caught the strange signal. Ken who never laughed, who always showed the cold nature of an absolute leader, was unshakable. Now show a friendly side, really different.
"That black dragon, you want to just take it by walking? I can't make a portal big enough to move it."
"Yes." Yeah."
Ken smiled at the takjim. This girl is pretty sensitive.
Because the black dragon was just an excuse.
Ken needs to be alone now.
"See you, sir, take care of yourself. I will bring the black dragon as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll wait."
Now Ken's goal is only one.
The demon king's castle! He'll hit his father's head as hard as he can. Removing him from confusion. Although this isn't the real world, Ken would love to talk to his father. His thoughts, his cruelty, and his love. Could there be a creature that does not have a speck of love in him?
Ken just wants to know. Because in the end, his father died with regret.
Portal opened. Ken went inside, immediately arriving at the room he had once occupied. Now this room is used by a little girl with two horns on her head.
"Let's.... AAAA...."
