"You do realize that you can't use 'demonic' weapons to kill demonized beings right? I know you're not that dumb human."
"Why do I feel like you made that up just now?"
"Why would I lie to you about this, human? We're basically partners now."
"Partners? As an Ancient Demon Lord, you're acting way too cheesy you know?"
"Fine, but I'm telling the truth though. You have a lot of ways to kill this monkey anyway, no need to use your greatest trump card which is the great Me."
"Hmph, fine. I'll agree, but I have to change the agreement a little bit. Sure, I'll collect all of your fragments, but I won't give all of them to you until I have my end of the bargain?"
"Fine, do what you want human. I don't mind"
Feihren was planning to show off a little using the Titan's armor, but he had something else in mind that he had to ask about first regarding this Ancient Demon Lord. Casually tossing the ruby in the direction of the demon, he summoned Samael. Two huge figures started duking it out as the ground started trembling.
"Ancient Demon Lord, while we were 'negotiating' you mentioned me being a 'messiah'. Tell me everything you know about it, and don't even try lying to me."
"Nah, I won't. First and foremost, I could not sense anything from you. To begin with, I doubt you're even a human in the first place."
"I'll clarify it then. I'm human. Well technically I am."
"I couldn't sense any power or aura in you, hell I couldn't even feel any life force within you, which is technically impossible when you are actually someone who is 'alive'. Therefore, I concluded that you do not originate from this world, simple as that."
"Eh, well, I see your point in knowing that I am not originally from here, but what about you using a specific word such as 'Messiah'?"
"Ah, that. Well long story short, there is someone destined to save this damned world from going to the abyss, that's all. I'll tell you everything about it some other time. Now go pick up my fragment of consciousness, human."
"Ah"
Feihren noticed that the ground had already stopped shaking from the clash, and the dead corpse of a gigantic ape lay there. Samael was sitting on it, seeming to radiate a sense of pride at having killed it by itself. It has only been 12 seconds! Even though they basically have the same level and size, it was never easy to punch a rock in comparison to a rock punching raw flesh. The king ape has fallen and Feihren obtained 1100 general exp and the Demonic Essence, just like last time, but he noticed that the aura that Samael was emitting had changed.
...
[Samael the Ruby Golem] (Sentient Ore)
"Power Level: (1-Star Legendary-Grade beast)"
"HP: 5000"
"Damage: 600-650"
"Title: Messiah's Alpha Familiar"
...
"Eh? What's with that overbearing title? And, Samael leveled-up?" Looking at its great increase in power, Feihren was astonished, as he suddenly found out that Samael is capable of leveling up!
As for the title, it was pretty self-explanatory. But for its effects, Feihren would never know, as he could not read its information one way or another.
...
The entirety of the situation had left the Ranustin army flabbergasted! They didn't see Feihren transform into a Titan, but they saw how he summoned a titan-like giant capable of handling the King Ape without breaking a sweat! Feihren himself was calmly talking to an oddly shaped magic weapon of some sort. That's right, he was talking to his magic weapon! Then he casually walked towards the king ape's corpse as it disappeared into thin air, just like that!
By now, none of them doubted that Feihren was related to the titans, and the people who did not personally witness everything were filled in by the talks from the front about of what had just unfolded. Even though they did not see the Titan they were tasked to bring back to their kingdom, they have witnessed that this person was not someone ordinary. It would bring great prospects if they could convince him to aid their kingdoms goal.
"Sir, let us escort you back to our kingdom!" General Rey automatically approached Feihren.
"Eh? To be honest, I don't really need any escort? And besides, wouldn't it take even longer if I were to travel with your group? Not even mentioning that there are a thousand of you out here?!"
"No sir, we insist. Our mission was to meet and escort you, but as for our excessive number, we apologize. We were just a detached unit from the main force that was planning to attack the Wolfenstein Kingdom, and for that we didn't have enough time to pick out the best people to look for you. But at this point we believe that a thousand people would still not be enough if you had turned out to be hostile, kind sir."
'He's being honest huh. Way too honest…' Feihren could not help but sigh. He was a general himself at one point but this man in front of him is running his mouth too much. Why would he mention that they were originally going to attack Wolfenstein? Talking about how they needed a thousand people just to 'interrogate' a Titan? What's with this guy? Don't tell me… He's afraid of me?'
Soon enough Feihren noticed that this general in front of him was sweating profusely, with an uncontrollable shaking in his knees being evident. 'Yup, he's scared alright…'
Feihren dispersed the thought of refusing them any further as it was evident that these people were not planning to give up any time soon. Besides, it's never a horrible idea to have company when traveling right? Even if it was a thousand people! Right? Right?!
