Demon God

Chapter 226: Leave



In the bright light that suddenly appeared in front of him, Desire could see Sir Baho's body vanish slowly.

From his head to his body, he literally just vanished with no traces left.

Of course, this is because of what Desire did, and this is what he intended to do as well.

However, when the bright light died down, Desire's face...suddenly became enveloped with disappointment.

Why? It was because he could see Sir Baho's feet on the ground, spewing out its blood and bones.

Of course, it was only his feet and nothing else, but...Desire intended for Sir Baho's entire body to completely vanish into nothingness with that punch, which is why he became disappointed when he saw this.

"Hmm...did I do it wrong? My instincts told me that I just need to combine mana and the power of the cracks to make him completely disappear..." Desire murmured as he straightened up his body while looking at his right arm.

His right arm...was still black as Desire didn't will for the cracks to disappear, but his right arm was also glowing with some kind of monotone light.

Of course, this monotone light was his mana.

However, because Desire has already punched Sir Baho with this, the mana was growing dim until it eventually disappeared.

Well, that was because Desire was no longer supplying his right arm with his mana.

"Hmm...well, I guess that's that," Desire murmured as he willed for the cracks to disappear.

Since things were already done and Sir Baho was already dead, there's no need for the power of the cracks.

He also turned off God's Eyes since it was also not needed anymore. Though, it wasn't really needed in the first place.

Desire then turned around to look at Jarina, but...there was something wrong.

Jarina was...she was looking at Desire with wide eyes - an expression that Desire has never seen before on Jarina's face.

However, that was not all as even Ryu, who Desire signaled to take care of the other men, also had the same expression.

Thinking that something weird was going on, Desire whipped his head towards Amelia and the Elves.

"Huh?" Desire couldn't help but murmur out loud as he saw what Amelia, Aerith, and the other elves looked like.

They...had the same expression on their faces as they just looked at Desire with wide eyes.

'What's going on...?' Desire thought as he was getting confused by their looks as every single living being present in this place had the same looks on their faces.

However, it seems that Desire didn't have to worry about that anymore as he finally heard someone speak.

And, of course, that was Jarina who spoke.

"D-Desire...what did you do?" Jarina said as she looked at Sir Baho's feet lying on the ground.

Although it truly looked disgusting, it didn't really matter that much for Jarina.

What was important in this situation was that...Sir Baho's upper body completely disappeared without any trace.

And that...was impossible.

Unless one used some kind of spatial magic, it would be impossible for a body to suddenly disappear without any trace.

And that...was exactly the reason why everyone had the surprised looks on their faces.

That was also the reason why Jarina asked Desire.

Of course, Desire didn't know a thing about that since...he just didn't know.

He just sincerely wanted to find out how strong he was, and he still thinks that he is weak since Desire wasn't able to make Sir Baho's whole body completely disappear since his feet are still existing.

Well, it was the truth that he was now dead.

Anyway, when Desire heard Jarina, he began to walk towards her as he fixed his sleeve and spoke.

"Hmm? I killed him. I also wanted to try some of my powers with that man, but I guess he was just that weak to die with one attack." Desire said.

His words made the Elves gulp their saliva, and made Ryu nervous.

Well, Desire was standing right beside Ryu right now as he was looking down on Sir Baho's subordinates.

"Amelia, are these people important to the Lion Clan?" Desire said.

As these were the subordinates of the man who dare to disrespect Desire and tried to do something to Jarina, there was no way that Desire would just let them go.

Well, the reason why Desire asked Amelia this question was so that he wouldn't look like that 'irresponsible' to people.

After all, the young master of the Lion Clan can't just go around killing people now, can he?

'No...I can kill them without any reason, but I need to look prim and proper since we are dealing with the Elves,' Desire thought.

He then snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Amelia speak.

"N-no, Young Master. They are not that important. Their leader, too, doesn't hold that much importance to our clan and can be replaced at any moment."

"I see," Desire said as he turned his head towards Ryu, "Clean them up. Replace them with another one of your men."

Ryu then quickly bowed his head, "Yes, Young Master!" Right after saying those words, Ryu's subordinates came out from the shadows and took the unconscious men out.

Of course, Ryu was with them as they went out to...kill the men and dispose of their bodies.

Incidentally, Sir Baho's feet and blood were already cleaned up as one of Ryu's men cleaned it up.

After Ryu and his men went out of the tavern, Desire turned around to look at Amelia and the Elves and spoke.

"Things took an unexpected turn, but continue your talk with each other."

"We'll be taking our leave now," Desire said as he extended his hand towards Jarina.

When Jarina saw that, she just smiled and took his hand before standing up.

"We'll be taking our leave," Jarina said with a sweet smile on her face.

Well, it was really nice for Desire to offer his hand.

Right after saying those words, the two then...disappeared as they went back to the Lord's mansion.

And as soon as they were gone, the people left in the tavern...finally stopped holding their breath and they all breathed out at the same time.

"Whew...what was that..." Aerith murmured as she had a weird smile on her face.

Well, it was only natural for her to be...happy about this.

After all, Desire's strength was actually way more impressive than what she expected.

No normal human would just be able to make someone's whole upper body disappear completely without any trace.

No...not even monsters would be able to do something like that.

There should be some blood or bones scattered somewhere, but the place was completely spotless.

Even though Sir Baho's feet remained, that was still beyond impressive.

And this...was proof that Aerith was correct in thinking that the Lion Clan would be able to help them.

Their Young Master was this strong even though Lionel, the Clan Master of the Lion Clan, never introduced him to the world.

Once Desire becomes introduced to the world, the Lion Clan's influence would shoot up and might even become the most dominant clan in the south.

That was how...powerful Desire was.

However, it seems that Aerith couldn't think about this anymore as Amelia spoke as she sat down.

"Well...let's continue our talks, shall we?"

And it was in this way that the alliance between the Elves and the Lion Clan formed.
