Chapter 36 - Demons And Daemons

Telnoir lets go of Gancelot, approaches Noah, and places one of his fingers in front of each of Noah's eyes.

- With those eyes? Are you glaring at me with those eyes. he asks Noah with a massive smile on his face. Makes me want to gouge them out.

- Was I glaring at you? You will have to forgive me since it simply is the way I look at everyone else. It seems like I naturally glare at people. says Noah while continuing to glare at Telnoir.

{Noah}

" I heard that the reason that the king still hasn't chosen Telnoir as the crown prince was because, even though he was strong and intelligent, he had some serious problems and now that I met him I can definitely tell. This guy is crazy."

Telnoir takes his fingers out of Noah's face.

- I see... then I am sorry for my actions, I thought you were trying to disrespect the future king of this kingdom. he says with an arrogant smirk while looking at Gancelot.

{Noah}

" Is he trying to warn Gancelot?"

{Gancelot}

" He's warning me. Warning me to not even dream of becoming king because the throne is his."

- From what I heard, the king, Galliard still hasn't chosen a crown prince. So why are you calling yourself "Future King"? says Noah with a provocative smirk.

- Pff.. HAHAHAHAHA...

Telnoir stops laughing.

-... You are really starting to piss me off. he says while approaching his face to Noah's

- You should back off since I am a child. I don't think the "Future King" wants to be called a pedophile and I am not interested in men. says Noah while keeping the same provocative smirk.

Telnoir lets out a small laugh and backs off. He looks carefully at Noah.

{Telnoir}

" This is Noah Arcadios... Interesting.... I WANT TO KILL HIM."

{Noah}

" This bastard! His eyes are full of murderous intent and madness. He definitely is crazy!"

- I'll see you another time, Noah Arcadios. Oh! And you too, little brother. He says while smiling.

Telnoir leaves.

{Gancelot}

" I disappointed master. I couldn't even say a single thing to my brother! DAMN IT! I AM SO WEAK!"

- I am sorry, master. I couldn't... I couldn't do or say anything. Gancelot says while clenching his fist, looking down to the ground, and grunting.

- Is he the reason why you want to get stronger? Noah asks.

Gancelot raises his head.

- Hmm?

- I asked you if he was the reason why you want me to train you?

- Yeah. I am sure you heard the rumors about my brother but those rumors are nothing compared to what he can really do. says Gancelot.

- I can tell. Telnoir is completely crazy. He wouldn't hesitate to kill his competition. Noah says while turning around to look at Gancelot who was standing behind him.

- Right. The reason why I asked you to train me was, of course, to get stronger but also to survive against my brother.

- Do you want to become King? asks Noah.

Gancelot raises his head once more, looks at Noah, and smile.

- I am not even interested in the throne, not even a little bit and that is never gonna change.

{Noah}

" I see. That is also why his sister reacted in that way earlier today. Gancelot is not interested in the throne and he probably already mentioned it to his father but taking me as his master will definitely raise some suspicion but.."

- Your brother is not the type to any of his rivals stay alive whether they are interested in the throne or not.

- That's right. He isn't the type to let variables exist.

They arrive at the training ground but there are some people using it.

- Excuse me. says Noah calling one of the people using the training ground.

- What is it?

{Noah}

" What the hell? It doesn't mean that you are a upperclasswoman that you can be disrespectful... Is what I would say but I'm only eight."

- When will you be done using the training grounds?

- What are you talking about if you want to rent the training grounds you need to do it before 16h00.

- We need to rent the training grounds?

- You can read it up on the information page on your watch. The upperclasswomen say while going back to her training.

- Well it seems like we will run around the training grounds then.

- WHAT? Isn't that more than when we run inside? asks Gancelot

- Enough complaining and let's get to it. says Noah while taking off his shirt.

Noah starts running.

- Alright! says Gancelot while also taking off his shirt.

Gancelot follows Noah.

[50 minutes later after they were done with their training and the dinner inside Noah's Inner Realm]

- Listen to me. I know you hate demons because they killed all of the members of your squad Zxero in your past life but you need to acknowledge the fact that you possess Demon blood.

-...

- Whether you like it or not, you will need to bring your Demonic power under control. Otherwise, your Demonic Instinct will keep acting up.

- What does that mean?

- First, we will have to go deeper into what are Demons.

- Go ahead.

- Demons can be born in two ways. The first ones are pure bloods. They are the demons born from a demon mother and father. The second one is mixed blood, which is born from a demon parent and another race for the other parent. However, hybrids are extremely rare since most of them die before their birth, and even those who are given birth die at the age of 15.

- Why? asks Noah.

- Hybrids are extremely weak when they are in their mother's womb and when they reach 15, their Demonic Instincts awakens and at the same time they gain an incredible amount of power during the five next months. Most of the time the power is too strong for their weak body to handle but.

- But?

- If they manage to survive both of these then they gain immense power.

- How strong are we talking about?

- I am saying that they were so strong that they managed to become Demon Kings at only 17.

- That's extraordinary. But, in my past life, I never felt my Demonic Instinct. Was that also because my demon blood was sealed?

- Yeah.

- So, what exactly are Demonic Instinct?

- Do you know the difference between Demons and Daemons?

- What? I don't know. All I did in my past life is kill every demon I met. I didn't know they were different.

Dull sighs.

- Demons are those who managed to resist their Demonic Instinct while Daemons are those who lost against their Demonic Instinct. As you know demons are beings that live by their desires without any care for the rules, however, that is not completely true.

- Really?

- The ones who live by their desires are Daemons. When a child demon goes trough puberty their Demonic Instinct their desires also awaken and are amplified. Those who let themselves devoured become Daemons, beings that only live for their unsatiable desires, in other words, they become mindless beasts with desires which can never be satisfied. When a child demon becomes a Daemon all their other desires are erased and the only one that remains is their desire to bring forth destruction.

- Then how do Demons and Daemons live together? From what I understood, demons have a clear hierarchy based on strength.

- Right but wrong at the same time. The other realms are pretty similar to the human realm. They all have kingdoms and a hierarchy. For example, the demon realm is separated into seven kingdoms, with each their king or queen just like the other realm. Actually, now that I think of it, the human realm is the only realm that has four kingdoms.

- So, the Daemons live in one of those kingdoms?

- No, there is another part of the demon realm. It is called Hell. Some call it the eight kingdoms but in reality It is a zone in which there is nothing valuable so it became the place where Daemons live, constantly killing each other and constantly destroying everything around them.

- Tell me about the kingdoms and The demon Kings.

- How would I know who they are if I'm inside you? All I can tell you is general knowledge of the demon realm.

- That's good! Tell me! insist Noah

- The seven kingdoms were founded by the strongest first demons to have existed. They were called the Seven Deadly Sins. The Demon of Wrath; Satan. The Demon of Greed; Mammon. The Demon of Lust; Asmodeus. The Demon of Envy; Leviathan. The Demon of Gluttony; Beelzebub. The Demon of Sloth; Belphegor. The Demon of Pride; Lucifer. While they were alive, they separated the demon realm into seven and each of them ruled their territories which, with time, became Kingdoms. After their death, their kingdom and their king took their Deadly sins name. Satan's Kingdom became the Kingdom of Wrath and the king is called Wrath. Since demons are civilized the throne is always passed within the kingdom's royal family, in other words, to the descendants of its first Demon King.

- What about the order of the kingdoms? How do they determine which kingdom is the strongest? Which Demon King is the strongest?

- They can't fight each other.

- Why?

- Because there is someone on top of them.

- You mean that there is somebody stronger than the Seven Demon Kings?

- Yeah, a whole family at that. The person who stands at the top of that family is the strongest within the demon realm. Descendants from the very first demon. The Demon Emperor and the Imperial family.
