Chereads / The Demon King's Unexpected Vacation / Chapter 2 - Something Called a..... Human

Chapter 2 - Something Called a..... Human

What the hell is this?" Kael muttered, as he stared at the thing on the ground.

Though, he couldn't deny the fact this 'thing' had quite some similarities with him.

'Hmmm.....what do we have here?' Kael thought, as he moved closer to the thing on the ground.

He couldn't quite shake off the weird feeling he was getting from this thing, but he tried his best to ignore it. As for being afraid, he was the Demon King, so fear was an unknown word to him.

Kael walked closer to the thing on the ground, and he bent down.

Kael squinted his eyes, as he scrutinized the strange thing.

"Body is similar to that of Demons, face, hmm, quite similar also," Kael muttered, but he wasn't done.

The thing seemed to have brown hair, so he touched the hair, and shifted it aside, then he brought his face closer to have a better look.

"Hmm, no horns," Kael muttered.

His eyes scanned the thing again, and he saw hands. Instantly, he grabbed one of the hand, and brought it closer to his face, seemingly looking for something.

"And no claws," Kael said.

'What else again?' He pondered, clearly confused about this thing.

"Oh, those are ears, but..... they aren't pointed," He muttered.

All these things even made Kael more confused, after all, some things were similar, but were also not similar at the same time.

Kael looked at the face of the thing again, and spotted eyes which weren't open.

Curiously, Kael stretched out his hand, and held the thing's face, bringing it closer to have a better look.

With both hands, Kael grabbed the face, and started squeezing it, as he moved it left and right.

"This is certainly a face, but it still has certain differences," Kael muttered.

As he was about to let go of the face, the thing's eyes suddenly snapped open.

Kael:???

With his hands still on the thing's face, Kael stared at it with a blank look on his face.

For some seconds, they both quietly stared at each other without any movement.

And then.....

"AGHHHHH!!" The thing suddenly screamed, and started shifting back, seemingly trying to get away from Kael

With a confused expression on his face, Kael stood upright, and stared at the thing which he now got a full view of.

"Wait.....this thing is quite similar to a demon.....and has a body that resembles Valtira," Kael muttered.

"So basically, it's a..... female," he added, wondering why he didn't notice that sooner.

Maybe it was because of certain things that Demons have, and this thing didn't have them.

"W..... Where am I?" The thing, which Kael had now confirmed was a female, stuttered, as she darted her eyes left and right.

Finally, she looked at Kael with her brown eyes, and she stopped moving.

"What are you? Because you're certainly not a Demon," Kael said.

"Ehn? I.....I don't understand.....what are you? Wait.....are those horns? Why do you have horns? Oh my god, I didn't know that 'thing' would bring me here." The female was clearly in a state of panic, and she was sweating profusely.

Seeing Kael's black curved horns also seemed to increase the level of panic.

Though, Kael was also confused, because they weren't the same, yet he could clearly understand what she was saying.

Kael was about to attack her, due to the fact that she was something unknown, but he decided to hold on.

"I'm a Demon, so I have horns, but what are you?" Kael asked again.

"Uhm... Demon? I'm a Human," the female said, clearly mustering the courage to speak.

Kael instantly squinted his eyes as he thought.

'Hmmm, Human.... I've never heard of that.'

"Uhm.....Mister Demon, where am I?" She asked.

"You'll have to answer my questions first, before I answer yours," Kael said.

"Oh, uhm, okay," she said, having no other choice.

"What is a Human? And how did you get here?" Kael asked.

"My race is called Human, and as for how I got here, err..... that's a somewhat long story," she said as she scratched her head.

Suddenly, Kael moved forward, approaching her. Immediately she noticed this, she started moving backwards in fear, but well, could she escape from the Demon King?

Kael noticed that she was moving backwards, and he immediately decided to stop her, after all, pursuing her would be a pain in the ass, so he immediately chose the next option.

Kael's eyes suddenly glowed purple, adding to his already enchanting appearance, and he stared at her, before muttering a single word.

"Halt."

Immediately, she stopped moving, almost as if an invisible force was stopping her from moving.

"Wait.... what did you do to me? Why can't I move?" She asked, already entering a state of panic again.

Kael walked towards her until the distance between them wasn't too far.

"Answer me, how did you get here?" Kael asked, his voice taking a colder tone.

"I got here through a strange coin. I don't know the origin of the coin, but it brought me here," she said.

"Coin?" Kael muttered.

He was the Demon King, and wasn't a fool, so he couldn't just easily believe the strange thing called a Human in front of him, but he had a way to know if she was lying or not.

Instantly, he walked closer to her until they were now directly face to face, and then, he used his pinky finger to touch her forehead.

She still couldn't move, so there was no form of struggle. The only thing was that she kept attempting to scream, but Kael gave another order for her to stay quiet.

Suddenly, Kael's finger that was on her forehead glowed purple, and then, information started flooding his head.

At first, his expression was normal, but then, as the information kept coming, his expression was slowly changing.

Suddenly, Kael's expression turned to shock, and he couldn't contain it anymore.

"What...What is the meaning of all this?"
