Asher could feel the struggle lessened. He didn't think much of it, for him killing one of his vassel is not a big deal because disobidience is a sin.
The closing human body make his eyes Lit up, even though the taste of raw meat is horrible but the after taste of energy come from it is extreamly intoxicated.
He gulped down his saliva and he could also feel his kid form slowly growing back to his adult self from all of the energy.
"What do you think you're doing? huh?"
a scratching voice echoed and the next second everything in this castle could feel gravity crushing them.
Something cracked, some fainted and some kneeling.
at the same time Thay could feel their shadow expand trying to eat them. Fear... gripping into their heart.
the only thing standing is Asher, thought Asher himself isnt spared from the heavy pressure.
Asher look at the darkness eating his target. No, the darkness actually just eating his power that controlling his target.
'Who is his name again?'
Asher himself is not someone who would questioning and diliberately asking other name but looking at one of his descentdant who slowly descent to this newly arrived creature's Embrace, he could guess what kind of relationship they have.
And there is some merit to remember important person name
Asher pulled his hand, he also feel pity for the human body also devoured into darkness and gone.
"Yo Hero?! Have you look at yourself? You look even more hideous then us demon."
Asher said teasingly but there is truth in in.
Right now Lucas were in his real form.
His whole body formed from darkness, like wriggling vein that slowly smoothed forming standing figure with four limb mimicking human's shadow but with the long and pointy finger and some additional part resembling horn or branch in his head, the most noticeable part is raw of teeth replaceing in the part of his mouth and some crack forming his eyes that lit in red glow of wish o lentern.
Lucas himself who couldnt see his new form, and only could roughly guess from his hand d body that his current face must be terrible.
Finally the beauty fall in his hand, looking at his pale and closed eyes and remembering how he tried to save him, make Lucas feel warm inside.
Then in side of his view he Saw his father-in-law still kneeling, he come closer, he didn't walk, didn't even moving his feet, just floating in steady pace like a ghost towart him. Handing his Beauty, disregarding the other shocking expression and just leaving a message with his hoarse voice.
"Take care oh him, carefully" with emphasiz in the last sentence.
Now Lucas floating and face to face with the Demon Lord, his heavy pressure and enermouse shadow already gone the moment he speak.
"Let's talk in private"
"Hm, come to my room"
The demons who released from the pressure finally could see the exsistance with comparable power with their Lord, they gulped as they Saw both of them dissapear to the other room.
when they father their sense, the Devas leading them to discissing thing that just happened, except one person who dissapear bringging his son to guess room.
and later, what they mutually agreed is that,
do not provoke, and treat accordingly Demon Lord's order.
...
Lucas and Asher arrived in large room, when they entered, they straight aheat sitting in their preference's seat.
Asher sitting on single head chair with arrogant phose while Lucas sitting on long chair in lax menner leaning on armrest while letting his feet on top of chair.
if there is other they would say it was Rude to sit without the owner approval, but both of them is naturally a Rude person. One used being ruler while the other already thrown his ettique.
Lucas look at the empty table,
"Where is the hospitality?"
"Huh? as unwanted guess you don't have that kind of privilege, moreover..."
Asher look at the crumpled black creature in front of him
"Can you even eat?"
Lucas once again reminded of his form,
'Can I even eat?'
then he remmember how he 'devour' his own body and the only this he could taste is the energy containing in it. He frowned. It hard to dismiss his habit to nimble on food on every possible ocassion especially in this kind of 'relaxing talk'.
That why he often prepare a place with snack or food each time he want to hang out.
This kind of habit come to him once he remember his Reincarnation in modern time, and comparing his other Reincarnation which he himself is starving, it become worse habit.
To suddenly become creature that didn't need to eat make him feel empty.
Lucas look at his own long pointy hand, that sometimes he could see something wriggling on it, an idea struck on his hand and then he bit and eat his own hand.
"Bland."
On the other hand, Asher look at his antic and how his hand regenerate itself
"You..." he become speachless.
collecting himself.
"Pure dark energy, and the amount is more than mine" Asher frowned.
"Exsistance close to god, but there is no kind of dark god in this world, not a demon or angel. so you're one of the fallen god? spirit king?"
"Um," Lucas confirmed.
Now Asher suspicious confirmed. While he first Saw him/her having that kind of soul he have guess.
Reincarnation itself is normal, for normal creature like human, monster or elf that normally only have up to eight Reincarnation, with usually only two or three Times depend on their soul. while the max number of eight Times it is because they have carried blessing or curse in their soul, before their soul is exhausted and dissapear.
on the other hand Demon and gods, they almost have infinite number of Reincarnation as long as their soul is not destroyed.
for your information, there is different between God (Tuhan) and god (Dewa/Dewi). God(Tuhan) is the sole True creator while god(Dewa) is the creature that created bacause of strong belief that later they become guardian of the world.
But, once the world that create them fall they become fallen god, some of them is left alone and slowly gone while the other bring their last survivor(believer) to secondary dimension and create their own small world that some known as spirit realm.
As for how the world destroyed, some because of time, some because of constabt war while some because of infasion like... demon.
Lucas looked at Asher and said
"Thank you for releasing my seal."
Lucas still relaxing in long table, unlike how normally people would said thank, well ot because...
"...still I am kinda mad, you really eat my heart, you could just undo it normally. it disgusting" Lucas frowned but still remember he is thankfull.
"As conpensation this time, I am gonna help you rule this world."
"Hooo~"
Asher whistled to this kind of blunt offer, while he himself actually already content with the 'raw' conpensation.
...
-Demon Wiki-
The Demon Lord Asher sometimes would refer other demon as his vassel and sometimes his descentdant. Both is true, some of his vassel is actually his descentdant especially the one with high grade demon based on their demon bloodline pureness.
as for detail of spirit world, gonna explained more later once we arrive there.
Author note:
something the title or how the character name changed based on the person personal prespective.
Like Demon Lord would call Lucas as Hero, demon would call him human. and some would call him Lord.
