Of course, it would be best if it was a treasure but even if it was devil Zynx didn't think his life would be in danger.
From the look of it, that devil should be either sealed or weaker.
From the experience of poison fog, the source of this bizarre thing should be inside the lake, the only problem was locating its exact location.
But before that, he had to take care of another problem.
Zynx looked at Faustina; she was making a different expression on her face while looking at her reflection and right now she was sticking out her tongue and breathing heavily.
Seem like she was really determined to change the reflection of the devil into the dog.
…
The last time when he left her, he almost lost his life.
Although he had become somewhat powerful since then, it was not enough to survive in this dangerous world.
He still remembered the moment when the paw of stalking wolf was right in front of him, if he had not dodged it in time, then he would have been dead.
So until he could find the village (safe place), he decided to travel with her.
He believed, she was powerful enough to take care of any danger he would face on the path to the village. And if he got lucky enough, then he might get a chance to leech some experience point from her.
But right now he didn't want her to follow him on his treasure hunt because if they really found treasure, and she decided to keep it, then he could not do anything.
Of course, if he could not obtain it by himself, then he would ask her help, but until then it had to wait.
So he had to give a suitable reason, which could stop her from following him and also from running away.
Looking at her behavior, he was sure even if he didn't say anything she would not go away from this lake as she was entertaining herself by playing with her reflection (Devil Image) but still, Zynx approach her and said,
"Are you hungry?"
Faustina immediately nodded.
"I will go to another side of the lake to search some fish while you search on this side, all right?"
She jumped at Zynx and holds his hand, almost scaring him.
"Do I need to come along?"
The real reason she was here was to have some fish, so when she heard the word fish, she became excited.
"No need, just don't leave the surrounding."
Zynx separates his hand from Faustina and carried baby rat toward the center of the lake, while Faustina ignored her reflection and began to intensely focus on the surface of the lake.
In the process of swimming, Zynx found out that his speed on the water was faster than the one on land, but because of little rat above his head, he did not dare to swim in his full speed, so it took him 15 minutes to arrive at the center of the lake.
He found a large rock which contains a statue of the devil on it, like the Faustina description.
There was something written on the base of the statue,
~If there is no guiltiness in your heart, then you can try touching it. ~
Zynx pondered for a moment and thought that he had never felt guilty about what he had done.
He climbed the stone with the little monster and placed his hand on a devil statue.
When his hand contacts the statue, he and the baby rat obtained information.
The baby rat could not digest all the information so its head explodes while he was completely fine.
This place was really the inheritance place and the master of this inheritance was Demi-god.
In order to obtain this inheritance, he needed to satisfied only 3 conditions,
1. There should be no guilt on your heart.
2. Your realm should be in the master realm.
3. Your age should be below 25.
Each creature had to face trial after entering inside the surrounding of the lake. Only the creature without guilt could enter inside the area of the lake and even the person without guilt have to face their fear.
Now, he understood what happened to the beforehand monster. Except for the baby rat, all other monsters must have some guilt, so they died.
Faustina was all right because she didn't understand when she should feel guilt and the image of the devil was fear trial for her, but this girl was totally enjoying it.
Zynx was the type of person who thought all the things he had been doing was the right thing, so he didn't feel guilty and because of his unique skill 'pet of destruction', he was immune to fear.
…
Only the master realm could obtain this inheritance because it took a long time to reach the master realm and in this process, they might do something which could create guilt on their heart.
…
Their age should be below 25 because the demi-god wanted his inheritor to be genius.
All of this condition was related to each other and their main task was to produce absolute genius without guilt in his/her heart.
After sorting out the information, he came into the conclusion. What this inheritance needed was not a saint-like figure without guiltiness in his heart, but the psycho killer who could kill without blinking his eye.
Zynx didn't care whether it was god inheritance or devil, but right now he could not obtain it, so he wished no one would satisfy it before him.
There was nothing left to do, so Zynx hurriedly returned.
Although he had asked Faustina to wait for him, he was not sure whether she was still waiting or not.
Since the baby rat was already dead, he only needed 5 minutes to return.
…
Faustina was still searching on the lake when he saw her.
Zynx approached her and said,
"Faustina, have you found anything?"
Faustina became serious when she heard him.
"How did you know my name?" (Faustina)
Zynx forgot Faustina had never said her name to his human form.
