Chereads / Alpha Demon: The New Demon King / Chapter 38 - Chapter 038 : One's nature

Chapter 38 - Chapter 038 : One's nature

Polyphemus island. 

Lying unconscious on top of the chief cyclops table, Ryan had been asleep for days. Both the chief cyclops whose name was Hemoth, and the red hair giant Gar. Lennox stood furth across the room facing his front towards the corner. He slightly turned his glance looking down at Ryan. 

Ryan opened his eyes casually stretching his hands up. He looked up a the worry expressions on Lennox, Hemoth and Gar. Lennox began walking towards Ryan he approached his side appearing in his small form. He grabbed both his shoulders examining him close. 

He gasped at amazement seeing Ryan full well. Ryan blankly stare at him puzzled. Both Hemoth and Gar were smiling with excited expressions. Ryan stood up getting dress as he had no top on. He frowned his gaze seeming to be looking for some in the room. 

"Are you looking for her?" asked Lennox. Ryan gently nodded his head in reply. 

Lennox brutally explained towards Ryan that Riley stabbed him she was the one who healed his wounds saving his life. But since then she refused to come see him feeling guilty for almost killing him. Ryan frowned his face with a slight irritation towards Riley mood behaviours. 

"She stabbed me, and she refuse to come visit me! Who does she think she is!!" Ryan said yelling out loud. "Where is she right now?" 

"I don't know."

Ryan firmly left the room going to find Riley, he was going to set her straight. Seeing him walk off towards the door Lennox doubted if he should go with him. Ryan disappeared after jumping through the massive window. 

Through the forest seating alone with her own thoughts, Riley had a sadden expression looking own a her hands. The act of stabbing Ryan was flashing through her mind as she pictured his blood on her hands; She was not disturbed by the the blood as she had killed many monsters in the past hunting with father. She was moving anxious towards stabbing a friend as she started to view Ryan as a friend. 

Approaching from behind Ryan walked up front at Riley side. Once he saw the expression on her face his heart melt in front of her. He knew the facial expression on her face as he wore it every time. Ryan gently place his hand on Riley shoulder, she looked out seeing him standing there.

"You woke up." Riley said with a blank voice. Veins started to appear on Ryan forehead feeling enrage by her displeasure voice.

"What, did you want me to die then?" Ryan looked with a hard expression at Riley. Riley slightly laughed standing up, she firmly looked at his eyes. 

Meanwhile later.

Ryan and Riley were seating on the branch of a tree both looking off towards the distance. Ryan was questioning her her about her rudeness behaviour towards cyclopes, and the fact that she almost tried to kill him. He questioned her emotions towards her actions there. 

"I thought we came here to kill cyclopes," Riley murmured. Ryan slightly smile at her words making her puzzled why?

"Yeah, the assign mission said that but. What have you experience for yourself by looking at the cyclopes?" Ryan firmly stared at Riley asking. 

Riley began questioning the mission she came there for, as she did know why the cyclopes were just living their lives in peace without bothering anyone. The rumours about the cyclopes attacking the humans were looking like false, it left her confused why would the humans lie about the cyclopes attacking them. They would hire up adventurers to hunt down cyclopes but the cyclopes were innocent living their normal life day by day. 

Looking at her face Ryan smirked viewing the confusion written through her face, he faintly smiled seeing her from a different point.

"Have you managed to figure things out now?"

Riley firmly nodded her head turning her firmed expression glaring at Ryan side. She quickly stood up on both feet as she was ready to apologize for her rude behaviour towards the cyclopes. Ryan gently grabbed her hand halting her movement and saying, "Don't do it now wait for a while longer, just sit here with me for a while longer until the sunset all right." Riley nodded her head before seating back down.

Ryan slightly turned his gaze looking at her as they both sat down through the forest until night witnessing the sunset. Walking back to the chief house Riley glance at the many cyclopes, who were walking back towards their homes, some were walking back their live-stocks to the ranch. She was confused how peaceful the lives of the cyclopes were; Even in the demons inside the demon realm did not live peaceful like the cyclopes there.

Due to the different races of demons, most demons did not like each other due to their strength and abilities they possessed. The inferno-demons dislike the demon-wolves due to their bite that can turn any other creature into a demon-wolves, it did not matter if you were a demon, human, or any other creature in the world their bite could turn anyone an anything. And the shadow-demons and vampire-demons hated on who of their kinds would rule the night time as both demons were creatures of the night sky. The succubus-demons hated the other demon races just there were men; Demons are powerful creatures just like humankind they fight over meaningless things.

Meanwhile later. 

Arriving back to the chief cyclopes house, Riley looked down on the floor as she could not look the cyclopes in their eyes. Lennox walked up in front of her his smaller form placing his hand on her shoulder murmured, "It's okay, we accept your apology." She raised her face confused how did they know she was going to apologise. Ryan slightly smiled looking from the side. 

"Tell me the truth, are the humans lying about you attacking them? And why am I getting confused about who to trust in this place you all seem to be lying to me," Riley frowned her face wanting to know the truth about the island. Lennox firmly looked at her face before nodding his head. 

He explained that he was the son of the chief cyclopes Hemoth. He was a half-human and half-cyclopes that explained why he had two eyes instead of one like the rest of the cyclopes. Lennox mother was the former chief of the human village daughter Mary. Riley widened her face surprised that he was a hybrid of human and cyclops, she wondered how a giant like a cyclops could impregnate a small human something like that was impossible.
