Capítulo 157: [157] Sirzechs Pays a Visit!
Sitting on a chair, sipping the coffe prepared by Hilda, August digested the information in his mind.
In his memory, he was a super otaku, the type that rarely left home, and very few people in the underworld knew him. The only one he had some interaction with was the upcoming Satan, Sirzechs.
The reason was simple, August's 'identity' as the sole bloodline descendant of the Demon Clan.
The devil race in the underworld placed extreme importance on bloodlines, without the joy and peace depicted in anime. Among the devils, bloodline was everything.
It was not an exaggeration to say that even if one had great strength, they wouldn't be considered if their bloodline was inferior. August, as the sole descendant of the Demon Clan, became a prominent figure in the entire underworld and the devil race.
As a race inherently wielding the power of darkness, the Demon Clan had always been a symbol of strength. Furthermore, they possessed unique bloodline talents, envied by countless races but beyond their reach.
Therefore, in the current time when August was in his youth, and as the only bloodline descendant, he naturally became a sought-after marriage partner. Throughout the underworld, countless devils wanted to marry into August's prestigious family.
Having digested all this, August couldn't help but smile with a little surprise.
His identity was indeed remarkable. It truly lived up to being a special item on par with the World Travel Ticket. This identity arrangement opened up endless possibilities.
Leaving aside other things, just being the honored guest of the devil race was enough to make August unstoppable in the underworld.
In his memories, including Hilda's family, many years ago, they willingly submitted to the Demon Clan and vowed to serve them for generations.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Come in."
Upon hearing August's words, the door was pushed open, and Hilda entered.
"My Lord, Lord Lucifer has arrived."
"Hmm? Where is he?"
"He's in the hall."
"Alright, I'll go there now."
"Yes."
After August stood up, Hilda stepped aside. As August walked out, she followed closely behind.
In no time, August arrived at the living room.
In the living room sat a man with bright red hair, and beside him stood a maid with silver hair.
Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the Four Satan, Lucifer, was also one of the two surpassers in the entire devil race.
Seeing August, Sirzechs smiled and was quite amiable, at least in many situations.
As soon as August sat down, Hilda brought him a cup of tea.
"You're quite a busy person. Why did you come to this remote mountainous area today?" August asked.
"Of course, I have something to discuss. You've secluded yourself for so many years, not bothering with your territory. You stay inside this castle every day, so I came to bring you something today."
"Bring me something?"
"Yes, I'm giving you a special gift."
As he spoke, Sirzechs' queen and wife, Grayfia Lucifuge, took out a box and slowly opened it in front of August.
Inside lay sixteen chess pieces, not just any, but evil pieces that only high devils were qualified to possess.
"Are these evil pieces? Wait, there's something different about them."
"These are indeed evil pieces, but not exactly evil pieces."
"What do you mean?"
"Evil pieces were created by Ajuka to perpetuate the devil race, but this technology is not exclusive to the devils."
"Are you saying..."
"That's right. These are a set of blank evil pieces. Once you merge the king piece, this set will evolve into evil pieces exclusive to you, or rather, demon evil pieces."
This statement left August stunned. What did it mean? Did he just receive a set of demon evil pieces that would normally take killing 10,000 monsters to obtain?
"Wait a minute. As the saying goes, 'no good deed goes unpunished,' and 'there's no such thing as a free lunch.' Sirzechs, you suddenly giving me such a set of pieces definitely has a purpose."
"Uh~, what purpose could I have? We're friends, after all."
"Friends? Hehe~"
This made Sirzechs somewhat embarrassed.
Did he have a purpose? How could he not?
The might of the Demon Clan was well known, but due to their scarce population and longstanding alliance with the devils, no one dared to harbor any ill intentions.
However, within the devils, there were still those who coveted the bloodline of the Demon Clan. Sirzechs was no exception, but he wouldn't go so far as to seize or study bloodlines. At his level, such actions were meaningless and foolish.
He came to find August and give him this special set of evil pieces to perpetuate the bloodline of the Demon Clan. Although it could only give rise to reincarnated demons, it would increase the number of members in the Demon Clan. Combined with their long lifespan, in a few hundred years, a new generation of Demons would appear in the underworld.
By then, a marriage alliance between the devils and demons would be a family affair.
Hence, Sirzechs went to Ajuka, the Satan who specialized in creating evil pieces, specifically to make this special set for August.
Watching Sirzechs, who subconsciously avoided direct eye contact, August slightly squinted his eyes. There was definitely something fishy going on.
August also took a look. The difference between this set of devil evil pieces and his own demon evil pieces was quite significant.
His demon evil pieces were all mutation pieces, each could mold a powerful servant. However, this set was entirely composed of ordinary pieces that could only be reborn. At most, they could enhance a bit of strength, nothing more.
So, with better pieces in hand, this set of ordinary pieces seemed tasteless.
However, just as August was about to refuse, the demon evil pieces within his body unexpectedly resonated.
Buzz~
In an instant, the sixteen pieces on the table floated up. Then, a dark force emanated from August's body, causing Sirzechs and Grayfia to have slightly constricted pupils. Although they didn't make any moves, their emotions were far from calm.
