Chapter 9 - Favor

The voice started talking again.

"There's two of you that's still human... Judging from your locations, you must be related to each other... Well then! I am the Demon King of Killing from Hell!"

(Only two of us? Who's the other one? My parents? Sister? Cousin? I hope it's not one of my brothers...)

I was startled by that. Seeing my strange behaviour, the others started to get anxious. So I told them that I was hearing a voice and they should stay quiet.

"Sorry about that... I'm hearing a voice right now. Everyone should stay quiet, I don't think those dreads will come here but don't let your guards down."

They all nodded. The classmates were curious of what the voice was while waiting for him to finish listening to the voice. But the four that was saved just now didn't understand what's happening and raised some questions.

"What does he mean he heard a voice?!" -(Male non-classmate 1)

"Is that Mother Earth?!" -(Female non-classmate 1)

Athena quieted them down with a cold voice.

"Shut up! If the dreads comes here we'll make you into baits."

The classmates also looked at them coldly. The four went silent with their heads down. They all took a rest.

While that was happening, I was listening to the voice.

"First of all, I have cleared the slaves near your locations so you can relax... You two are descendants of me and my love, the Hero of Protection from another world..."

I fell silent while listening to his explanation. I paid no attention to my surroundings and leaned my head on 'Thena's bosom. She then hugged my head.

"...seems like we can relax for now."

Hearing that, my classmates relaxed their guards. The four that we saved showed an expression that's full of doubt. But they just kept quiet.

The voice in my head continued.

"We demons are still trying to finish the teleportation device so we can come to your world. I'll help you survive before that time comes... I'll give both of you my favor. Don't worry, what I'm going to be giving you are not curses. If you're wondering, both gives powers...but to use curses, you'll need to have strong desires for killing and it will manifest itself. Only one curse can manifest because you're not true demons, but it looks like both of you already awakened one each... Once you have the favors, you can fight others easily. I'll bestow it to you right now so bear the pain."

After he finished saying that, my head started to hurt again. I groaned from the pain. Athena and the other classmates looked at me with worry.

The pain suddenly vanished and I heard the voice again.

"Now say 'status' and when your hands light up, push it to anything that you can write on or the ground. It will give you a detailed information about yourself."

(I already know that though.)

While I was thinking of such things, I called out my status.

"Status..."

Light shone in my hands and I pushed it on a paper that was near me. Text started appearing on the paper.

"Status close."

I read it quickly and then closed it after reading it.

(I just saw something terrifying there...)

It all happened so fast, everyone did not know how to react. They could only watch me with eyes wide open from shock. They couldn't read my status because of how fast it had been. The four we saved then started getting noisy.

"Wh..what was that?!" "H...hey, light just appeared in his hands!" "Why are you all so calm?!" "That was a status! That was a status, right? Right?"

That last one was from a girl.

"What's a status? How did you know something like that?!" "...status? Isn't that from pokemon? That fully heals and cures any status thing?" "That's full restore! Baka!"

They were still being noisy so I ignored them. But my classmates thought that they were giving away our location and thought that the dreads might be coming here. 'Thena hurriedly gave orders.

"Ready your weapons and be quiet! You four, if we're found out you are done for..."

Hearing that, everyone tensed up and readied for battle. The four were terrified. Seeing that, I let out a chuckle and shook my head. The others were all surprised by that.

"I told you we're fine, didn't I?"

Saying that, I looked up at her face from below and touched her nose lightly. She blushed from that while the others had questioning gazes.

"The dreads are gone for now... I will explain later, I still have to listen to the voice."

Hearing that, they all nodded and calmed down. The voice came back after staying quiet for a moment.

"After you finish analyzing your statuses, say 'status close' and it will disappear. Anyway, we Demon Kings and Demon Gods have given all the 'fallen' humans some favors..."

"..."

I fell silent hearing that. The voice continued.

"Now, you have the powers to survive. So don't you ever show such embarrassment and die... Okay! now I'm going to tell you the story about my life..."

The voice paused for a bit before continuing.

"I was once a hero in one of the many worlds... My life there was awesome and was loved by everyone. But one day, a god in that world suddenly accused me of stealing an artifact... At that time, I kept on running and hiding from the other heroes that were hunting me. I was saddened by the fact that the people looked at me with hate and hostility. At that point, the world became my enemy. That sadness became hatred and I killed a lot of the people and heroes there. My thirst for vengeance made me want to kill every single one of the heroes and gods there..."
