Chereads / How To Be A Great Demon / Chapter 80 - Conversation

Chapter 80 - Conversation

Lady Lust has punched a hole in Dawnbreaker's stomach, and they both stay remain in that frightening position.

Peril: What the hell is she doing?! (Peril yells as he tries to help Dawnbreaker)

Slave (The Great Demon Of Love): Calm yourself, She is just having a conversation with him. The only way she knows how. (Slave tells Peril)

Dawnbreaker now finds himself on a cliff, watching a battle between the Great Demon Lords and an army of men.

Dawnbreaker : What is this? (Dawnbreaker asks Lust, who was standing behind him)

Lady Lust (The Great Demon Of Desire): You're not that dumb, these are your memories... And that's you. (Lady Lust says as the Dawnbreaker from the memory appears in front of them and watches the battle).... Why didn't you join the battle? It looks like the Lords are having trouble eradicating that army. (Lady Lust asks)

Dawnbreaker: I didn't interfere because the Great Demon Lords needed to learn how to fight properly. (Dawnbreaker replies)

Lady Lust: Hmm. That's a good story, what's the real reason? (Lady Lust asks)

Dawnbreaker: (Deep sigh) The real reason is that my brother hadn't arrived, we made a promise to always fight together. And together we were going to wipe out the human race. (Dawnbreaker confesses)

Lady Lust: So that's why we haven't attacked yet. I understand your reasons, but what made you want to change your mind?

Dawnbreaker: Because I'm no longer sure my brother's still out there, I don't know if he's alive, dead, or has turned against us. It's just too much for me to handle, the death of Kronos, and the Dark Hyenas betrayal just made it worse.

Lady Lust: Wait Kronos is dead?! How do you know this?! (Lady Lust asks in shock)

Dawnbreaker: I should have told you sooner but, Kronos returned. He was trapped in the body of a human but managed to take over it.

Lady Lust: Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell us all?! (Lady Lust asks angrily)

Dawnbreaker: Kronos wanted to keep it a secret, he did not want to be seen in such a state.

Lady List: That damn Lizard, It was his pride that was his downfall. (Sighs) I can't believe he's dead. And you're telling me the Dark Hyenas are somehow responsible?

Dawnbreaker: Yes. Apparently they are working with a human, and lent him their powers to take down Kronos.

Lady List: That's impossible, even an army of Hyenas Curses can't kill Kronos. (Lust replies in disbelief)

Dawnbreaker: He was at a weakened state, that's why he was searching for a Rebirth Stone to restore his powers, but unfortunately was killed before his powers were fully restored.

Lady Lust: What a joke. A terribly awful joke.

Dawnbreaker: What's so funny about it?

Lady Lust: It's funny how we can be taken down so easily... We need to fight smarter.

Dawnbreaker: What do you suggest?

Lady Lust: There are only a few things in this world that can pose a threat to us. The Voidstone, The Rebirth Stone, and the Heart of the All Beast.

Dawnbreaker: The Heart was lost forever. It poses no threat to us anymore.

Lady Lust: I say we don't leave it to chance, we must find and destroy anything that could potentially harm us, that way we can be sure that no one can stop us when we attack.

Dawnbreaker: Very well, we shall find and destroy the last Heart.

Lady Lust: Dawnbreaker. Your mother was my best friend. After she died, I swore to protect you and your brother. We will find Midnight, and if he's been trapped or is being controlled by the humans, we will set him free and get revenge together.

Dawnbreaker: Alright, that's what we'll do. (Dawnbreaker replies)

Just then the memory version of Midnight, goes to the memory version of Dawnbreaker. This Midnight had on Dark armour, but his armor reveals the bottom half of his face, showing humanoid dark grey skin.

Note: This is a memory from Dawnbreaker's past.

Midnight (The Great Demon Of Darkness): Sorry I'm late, brother. I had to wipe out a hidden town in the north. (Midnight tells Dawnbreaker)

Dawnbreaker: (Chuckles) I feel so silly! Here I am waiting for you so that we can wipe out a city together, and you're off killing humans by yourself.

Midnight: I don't see the problem, It's faster and more efficient right? (Midnight asks in surprise)

Dawnbreaker: Yeah but we promised to wipe out the human race together, no matter what! (Dawnbreaker retorts)

Midnight begins to laugh

Dawnbreaker: What's so funny? Keeping your word is no joke! (Dawnbreaker says in an embarrassed tone)

Midnight: (Smiles) I'm sorry I broke our promise. It doesn't matter how long we take, all that matters is that we eventually wipe out the humans, together.

Dawnbreaker: Coexistence with them is impossible.

Midnight: And that's why we must wipe them out.

Dawnbreaker: I'm glad you remember our promise. Now let's put an end to this infestation!

Midnight: Gladly. (Midnight replies as him and Dawnbreaker leap off the cliff to aid the Great Demon Lords in their battle against the army of men, and then the memory ends, making everything fade away)

Lady Lust: We will find him Dawnbreaker. I swear it.

Dawnbreaker: I'll leave it to you. (Dawnbreaker replies sadly)

After that, Dawnbreaker and Lady Lust leave the mental plane. As Lady Lust removes her hand from Dawnbreaker's stomach, she notices that it had been melted by the intense heat within Dawnbreaker's body, leaving nothing but a bloody stump where her hand once was.

Lady Lust: It gets harder and harder to breach your mind, Dawnbreaker. (Lady Lust tells Dawnbreaker as her hand quickly grows back)

Dawnbreaker: Next time just talk to me rather than punch a hole in my stomach. (Dawnbreaker replies as his wound instantly heals, and his armor seals it)

Slave: Are you okay, My Lady? (Slave asks worriedly)

Lady Lust: I'm fine, don't bother your cute little head. (List replies happily)

Slave: (Blushes) As you wish my Lady. (Slave replies with a bow)

Dawnbreaker walks over to Peril.

Dawnbreaker: I'm sorry for hurting you. I lost control for a second. (Dawnbreaker apologises as he helps Peril to his feet)

Peril: No need to apologise, I was the one at fault. I should have told you the truth from the beginning. (Peril replies)

Dawnbreaker: You were right though, As the leader I must always think rationally. That's why we will first destroy anything that can bring us harm, that way the humans won't be able to stop us when we attack. The Great Demon Lords also need to train more, being trapped in the Voidstone has made them soft and weak, and I don't fight alongside weaklings. (Dawnbreaker says sternly, referring to Smash and Gore who stood quietly at a distance)

Gore: The fault is all mine! The humans tricked us with an illusion and made us fight each other! (Gore explains nervously)

Smash: Then they took out who won. (Smash replies in shame)

Dawnbreaker: That seems to be their specialty, tricks. When I'm done with you Demon Lords, you won't let mere tricks best you again! (Dawnbreaker says angrily)

Lady Lust: It seems my job here is done, so I'm going to my room. Let's go Slave.

Slave: Yes my Lady. (Slave replies as he follows her off)

Dawnbreaker: Peril. Question the Hyena Curse we have with us, see if you can get any information as to why the Dark Hyenas would ally with humans.

Peril: As you wish. (Peril replies with a bow)

Somewhere in the castle, Mistress Copy and Pariah are in room together, sitting around and doing nothing

Mistress Copy: I've been waiting here too long, why haven't the Great Demons found Midnight yet?! (Copy asks as she jumps to her feet in anger)

Pariah: You've been searching for your master for years, we've only been here a few months. Besides, If anyone can find Midnight, it would be the Great Demons.

Mistress Copy: How can you wait here so patiently? Aren't you tired of just sitting in this room doing nothing?! (Copy asks in outrage)

Pariah: This is the typical life of a lesser demon. Your services are rarely required, meaning that you lounge a lot, but don't worry, you shall get used to it. (Pariah tells her calmly)

Mistress Copy: (Sighs) I miss my friends, I can't wait for Midnight to return and reunite us. (Copy says hopefully)

Pariah: I heard about that, so it's true that Curses can't really die. If your master requires your services again, he can just bring you back to life.

Mistress Copy: Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing Helos again, then I can kick his butt for leaving me alone in the first place. (Copy says happily)

Pariah: (Chuckles) You're very lucky to have friends who can never leave you behind. (Pariah says with a hint of sadness in his words)

Mistress Copy: Hey, we're friends too remember? And since I'm immortal, I'll never leave you behind, you got that. (Copy says with a kind smile)

Pariah: (Smiles) Thank you, your company has been nice these past months. (Pariah tells her happily)

Just then Peril enters the room, his injuries almost fully healed.

Peril: I need to talk to you about your friends. (Peril tells Copy with a look of seriousness on his face)

Next: Target.
