.Trivia of the day #66: For one to become a Demon King, the Demon King Seed must first bloom
_____________
"Honestly that woman is something else, either way though, it doesn\'t matter."
Said Asmodeus who was drying his hair after taking a much-needed bath, however, the sad part of possessing a human body is the fact that things like sweat and dirt accumulate over time, Asmodeus was so used to being a Demon King that his body stopped sweating after his stamina reached the realm of the Gods.
However as he was doing this, he suddenly stop, the reason being he felt as if he was choking on something.
** Cough! Cough! **
His lungs felt as if it was burning, and his stomach feel as if it was dissolving in its natural acid, and then he began to cough and cough until he spits something out of his mouth, which where covered by his right hand.
BlAHH!! Blood began to pour from his mouth, as the potent smell of iron began to fill the room, his body at this time and moment was shaking, strangely enough, Asmodeus himself had grown numb to the pain, although his vision was growing hazy.
And when Asmodeus looks at his hand, he was shocked to see a large mass of flesh and splintered bone, instantly he said to himself
\'Is this an organ, and a piece of a rib cage?\'
However, a certain someone took that as a question as she answered in confirmation.
『Affirmative』
Of course, Asmodeus replied as such.
\'I see, sigh!... To think the deterioration process would begin this quickly, I barely last even a day, at this rate, this body will dissolve beyond repair, truly a human is as fragile as glass, I need to find a replacement as soon as possible.\'
Almost immediately, sensing the danger of the situation, Anastasia began to voice her suggestion, as the survival of her master was of the highest order.
『Suggesrion. Seize the body of another human quickly, gender does not matter』
"I understand where you are coming from Anastasia, you don\'t need to worry I will work on that tonight, although more or less, how much time do I have before my power withers away this body down to nothing?"
『Approximatley 2 hrs: 42 min: 11 secs』
"A little under three hours ha? Well, I will be damn, don\'t even have that much time to work with."
"Either way though, I am sure one of the servant\'s bodies will do just nicely."
Asmodeus said with hopes of finding a stronger vessel, although he knows that might be a long stretch unless he finds a vessel like Elisha, then there is honestly no one strong enough to house him.
Upset about this fact, he decides to brush it off in the hope that something will go his way soon enough, so with that in mind, Asmodeus sighed in slight stress as he began to dress in formal wear, and like Lilith, he used the power of his shapeshifting prowess to make clothes cover his body.
After getting ready, Asmodeus proceed to leave the master bedroom and the first thing he was met with, was the beautiful sight of well furnished and decorate the hall of the corridor of the Lioness mansion.
The walls had many historical paintings, along with old antiques, such as a ship in a bottle, a giant clock, and many vases, although what takes the cake were the vast majority of weapons in the residence.
Yes, the entire hall and its entirety, were filled with weapons such as short swords, longbows, spears, maces, and even a full suite of armor.
Meanwhile, the ground had a beautiful red rug that stretch to the entire hall, leading down the hallway, and even going down the stair to the main hall.
"This is nice, I could only imagine how well off the [A] and [S] rank families truly are."
"Either way for a C-rank family of former knights they do possess strong standing in Eden, with the job that Ryu does, along with his family history, and as the family patriarch as well, he could have proudly said he was worth eighty million easily as that was their overall net worth."
Outside knighthood, the Lioness family are also weapon dealers, although, for a set of knights, they do shady business and sell their weapons to people like the Russian Mafia, the Kartels, China, Japan, Iraqu, and many other secrete organizations.
"Hehe... Well, at least the actual title for Ryu is the Black Knight."
However, as Asmodeus was walking down the hall, to head for the dining table, he was taken aback by the sudden creaking of the door opening up in front of him.
And that was when he saw the figure emerge from the room.
A boy with emerald green hair, with a small but muscular build nonetheless, he was about 5" 2 or 5" 4 in overall height, relativity short by Lioness standards, although he had the body of well train swordsman.
He had clear white skin and wore a simple skin tight white shirt, and baggy white sweat pants, and on his feet were a pair of white crocks resembling that of an alligator mouth.
In short, the boy was dressed in all-white attire, meanwhile on his back, was a black Lion which was the Lioness family coat of arms or the family symbol.
The boy turns toward him, and a smile emerges on his face as he said with excitement, bowing his head with respect for me as he said.
"Greetings father."
The boy said with an honored smile on his face, Asmodeus didn\'t answer right away, as he was gauging his total power.
However, before reading his status, Asmodeus decide to hold it off till he reaches the dining table, as he will judge every last one of Ryu\'s children\'s strength when he is properly seated.
So to make conversation he looks at Ryu\'s son and responded as such.
"Good night Victor, I presume you are heading for the dining room as well?"
Of course, he responded to my questions by nodding his head.
"Yes, that is correct."
"Hmmm... Well then, walk with me then, since I\'m going for dinner as well."
"Y-Y-Yess!"
Asmodeus said to Ryu\'s son as he keep walking forward, to which Victor responded by rushing to Asmodeus\'s side, anyone could tell that victor seemed very happy for some reason, just being beside his father.
Then and again this may stem from the fact that as the youngest son, he doesn\'t get much attention from Ryu either way.
Although Ryu still loves all his off-spring in his way and based on Ryu\'s memories, he has stated that if he had to pick a person to inherit the title of Viscount upon his death, then he would pick Victor no question ask, although the title of the Lioness clan patriarch would have to go his oldest son Delmark.
Meanwhile, to strengthen the clan\'s political power, he would marry off his two beautiful daughters as concubines to a stronger family, it was the most logical thing to do.
Based on this mentality, Asmodeus has concluded that Ryu was a very power-hungry man as well, despite being a very hard-working fellow to boot.
But as his thoughts sink deeper into other various things he was soon swept out of them when he heard Victor speaking.
"A-A-M father...
Said Victor out loud to catch his attention.
Asmodeus of course looked to Victor who was struggling to speak his mind.
"A...m... Agh- Um- so today... Tis... Ggggirl."
He was so nervous that his pronunciations were all over the place, however, he soon fix his posture when Asmodeus replied to him in a calm and firm tone.
"Take your time Victor, no one is rushing you, tell me what is bothering you?"
At these words, Victor seems to calm down, as a smile came upon his face as he said with great confidence.
"So father today, during combat practice, I met this girl today."
Replied Victor in an excited tone to which Asmodeus inwardly said.
\'I see love problems ha?\'
However, he refrains from saying anything until Victor finishes speaking.
"Now she is very beautiful, however, we got into a little altercation, and she said horrible things about mother, going so far as to say that she didn\'t deserve you, that made me so mad, something snapped in me, and the last thing I could remember, was darkness, but when I got up I was standing on the corpse of several of her knights, and I think I damage her eye, and...and...
"Let me guess, you use your singularity didn\'t you?"
Asmodeus ask stopping Victor from talking, this makes Victor scared as he knows he might have caused his father some trouble to come in the future, however, there was no point in hiding it so he responds as such.
"Yeah... I used Bloodlust in a fit of rage."
"..."
"I am willing to take any punishment so please don\'t be too mad at me."
Victor said in a trembling voice.
"Why would I be mad, you were just putting a bitch in her place, but apart from that what rank is this family?"
"D rank, soon to be promoted to C rank."
"Tsk a rookie C-rank family dare picks a fight with us, tell me the family name, and I will visit them tomorrow."
"Father... That is the thing, it\'s a branch family, although this branch family\'s Patriarch is well how do I put it, agh~~ I fuck up, I can\'t sugar coat it, damit, damit all, it doesn\'t matter anymore, you see the Patriarch is-is-is an Exile."
Victor said a little scared when the term Exile came spewing from his mouth, meanwhile, I stop dead in my tracks when I heard the word Exile, after all, if the term means anything according to my memories, then it is slightly problematic.
The term Exile although define as someone from a family or clan who has been banned from a family due to bringing it shame.
In this case, that definition doesn\'t apply, instead, the title Exile is used as an honorable title this case as it is given to younger children of a larger and big family who didn\'t have the chance to become the successor, in this case, the Exile system was made to expand a larger family influence, as the task is given to late children in the hierarchy, that being 4th or maybe 8th son or daughter to create their own family.
Of course, Exiled families are leagues above normal families even if they are in the same league, as it is just an extension of the larger families under a different name, and lower rank, in laymen\'s terms when a pro gamer decides to up his smurf account, in case his main account get hack, banned, or forgotten, you may even call exile families an investment to fall upon.
Instantly Asmodeus looked at Victor and ask.
"What\'s the name of the family you pick a fight with."
"The Diablo family."
"Diablo family?"
"Yes, father, their patriarch is none other than Felix Diablo, formerly known as Felix Lucifer, the 8th son of Dante Lucifer."
"They are a family of Demon Summoners\' father, they are bad news, and from what I have gathered their daughter Felisha Diablo, the bitch eye who I took, the mother is the same person who you refused to marry in your high school days."
To Be Continued.
