369. Agreement

In a way, Lilyxilas reward for me is similar to my ideal life as a monster living in this world.

With the saints help, I may be able to resolve the misunderstanding in Millias village and even reunite with Millia, and I could also go look for the monkeys and black lizard.

And after we save Ardezia, I could meet up with Nina and Ball Rabbit there too, and maybe we could also clear the charges put on the Lithuvar Tribe and I could go back to being their dragon god again.

I dont know how much influence the saints name has and there's a chance we could encounter problems along the way.

I also dont know how long itll take for all the misunderstandings to be cleared. But, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now.

Gru~u

I growl softly.

I want to meet them.

I want to fly to where they are right now and see if theyre doing well.

And, for my third reward. If you so wish it, I can use my magic to turn you into a human. But, this is something I cannot guarantee as of now

A human?

In our Holy Land, there is a tale of an evil monster being turned into a human with a good heart by the power of theSaint. So, I was thinking that if I level up mySaintskill high enough, I might be able to learn magic that can do exactly that

To become human, or not.

The old me would have agreed right away. But now, Im not sure anymore.

If I do decide to turn into a human, what will happen to Partner? I dont want to know.

While I stayed silent, Lilyxila resumed speaking.

Ive said a lot now but, what Im basically offering is for your achievements to be recognized and justified by the people. And besides, it would also prove inconvenient for you if the Demon King were to keep on accumulating power

I turn and look at Partner to ask her for her opinion.

Partner was still eyeing on Lilyxila suspiciously but looked back at me after she noticed me looking at her.

What do you think, Partner?

Since were going to face the Demon King eventually, do you think we should strike now while a powerful ally is offering help?

I keep tellin ya, yer the main body so you decide. But, I dun plan to get along with humans. Especially her, she sus

Yeah, I thought so.

In terms of information and fighting strength, were way behind Lilyxila.

If I lose myself over her sweet offers, I could get misled by her lies and plots.

One last thing. Lilyxila.

Where and how did you get thatDisastertitle?

Depending on your answer, I may disregard everything you said.

I assumed you already knew about that this is something that is needed to obtain the sacred skill. It is not that difficult to acquire so long as one knows the key requirements and conditions needed to obtain it

Does that mean that titles are related to sacred skills somehow?

I remember the blonde Heros titles looking all messed up after he lost his sacred skill.

Without a specific title skill, the transfer of sacred skills will not be possible. It was set up that way since the old era to ensure that the power to rule humans will always be transferred to the monsters and the power to rule monsters will always be transferred to the humans, as told me to me by the Holy God

But if thats true, then Gods Voice, or as we say, the Holy God, is capable of moving through a hole in the system.

I always imagined that he was someone who lies outside the system of status and skills but hes more bound to the laws of this world than I thought.

Maybe the Holy God isnt related to the mythology at all and is actually just someone from my previous world who got reincarnated here as a monster, gained immortality, and is now a mere shadow of his former self.

While yes, I can make use of the Demon Beast Kings power at any time but since I do not have any otherSpirit Servantto handle this task, I intended to save Beelzebub for later. To put it bluntly, if you fail the mission and let the relation between the two countries collapse, putting the Holy Country at risk, then I will step in. This is only if matters get worse, because I plan to summon Beelzebub when the worst happens

I-Is that really safe though

Didnt you say it was difficult to control?

And, even though it became a spirit, it still has its sacred skill, doesnt it?

If Beelzebub takes in the Demon Kings sacred skill, theres a high chance it could completely break out of your control

That is why it is only a last resort. Even the Holy God does not know what would happen. Perhaps your guess is correct and it will break free from its restraints the next time I summon it. Its like performing a coin toss every time I try to summon it and hoping it wont break free. But, its still better than doing nothing

I glance back at Alo, Nightmare, and Treant.

So how about you guys?

Im thinking of going to Ardezia after all.

Asking Alo.

Shes hatefully glaring at Alphys for calling her a filthy undead, but still nods at me to give her answer.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

Asking Nightmare.

She doesnt look at me but at Partner, and after a short moment of silence, Nightmare openly declares her participation for the big battle with a simple nod.

Asking Treant.

Treant sorta took a step back from all this, but after he saw Alo and Nightmares response, he takes a big step up front.

Y-You dont have to force yourself, you know.

If this island is too much for you, you can find a safer forest or better yet, you can have Lilyxila take you to one if you want to.

Then, turning my gaze next to Treant, it took me a while to notice Giver right beside him.

Ku~uon! Ku~uon!

Giver attempts to impress me by jumping high in the air and displaying an impressive somersault dive.

Looks like Giver is eager to come with us too, I see, I see.

Anyway, Alo, youre up.

Gale

Ku~uoooooon?!

A powerful gust of wind is released from the palm of Alos hand.

The devastating force of the twister shaves off the surface of the branch.

Giver gets blown away by the wind and falls down the Great Tree squealing.

Sorry Giver, but no horny dragons allowed.

I take it youve accepted my offer then?

I nod in response to Lilyxilas question.

Wonderful! Now

Lilyxilas firm expression suddenly turns to worry.

Something is coming

Im late, but I also sensed something too.

I look down to the base of the Great Tree where the presence is coming from.

A gigantic dragon with bluish-purple scales lies at the roots of the Tree.

Its sharp fangs are revealed to show aggression. My father, the Dragon King Eldia, scornfully glares at the sight of me and Lilyxila together.

H-He sensed us?!

No, Presence Sense shouldnt be strong enough to reach all the way up here from the underground ruins.

There are also plenty other monsters around the Great Tree too. There is no way that hes able to detect the presence of humans without even knowing that theyd be coming here.

D-Dont tell me that he came to check on me again today?!

Eldia lets out a ferocious roar that can be heard throughout the island.
