Chapter 811
“Huh?” Hyeonu blinked at Callioraks’ unusual reaction.
“The fragments of the demon god. I asked how you know about them,” Callioraks asked again with a hard expression.
“A human I know is carrying the fragments of the demon god in his body. Therefore, I am in the process of finding a way to get rid of the fragments of the demon god,” Hyeonu didn’t need to hide it, so he revealed everything he knew about the fragments of the demon god to Callioraks.
“He bears the fragments of the demon god? This is crazy… have you ever seen such a pathetic seed? There is a limit to being stupid.” Callioraks laughed while looking like it was absurd. Someone was carrying the fragments of the demon god. It was incomprehensible based on his common sense.
“So, you are looking for a way to get rid of it?”
“Yes, Callioraks. I need to find it as soon as possible. The situation isn’t relaxed.” Hyeonu nodded vigorously.
“What is his current state?”
“His hair has turned gray and the color of his eyes has also changed to gray. He wears gray battle armor and is leading countless undead,” Hyeonu accurately described Edward’s current condition.
‘I will borrow Callioraks’ knowledge.’
The people Hyeonu originally wanted to visit were John Blake and Lebron. He hadn’t planned to rely on the knowledge of the two men, but to borrow the knowledge of the demons under them. Now the dragon Callioraks, who would’ve lived many times longer than that, was in front of him. Naturally, his knowledge would be much more vast. Hyeonu had to ask for help when possible.
“Is the problem really serious?” Hyeonu asked one more time when Callioraks didn’t answer.
“Do you know how much time has passed since he embraced the fragments of the demon god?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I think it is around two months.”
This was something that only the Venom Guild knew precisely. Hyeonu had only heard about the situation and didn’t know the detailed date.
“Two months? It has been two months… if it is this long…”
Callioraks made a strange expression. It was a face that was hard to tell if he liked it or felt disappointment.
“Did you say it was a human who carried the fragments of the demon god? He is an extraordinary human being to keep his sanity even with the fragments of the demon god.”
The meaning of Callioraks’ expression was admiration. The fragments of the demon god were literally parts of the demon god. They were difficult for humans to bear. They would be eaten up in an instant by the demon god, unless they had a firm ego and strong willpower.
‘As expected, the imperial family is the imperial family?’
Hyeonu recalled Edward’s past that he heard from Lebron when Callioraks praised him.
‘The prince who fought for the emperor’s throne until the end…’
The one who fought against the emperor to the end, with the same blood as the monstrous emperor. The difference had widened now, but the talent at that time was excellent enough.
“So there is no way, Callioraks?”
“There is.”
“There is?” Hyeonu asked with joy.
“You just have to get rid of the demon god. Then the fragments will naturally lose their power,” Callioraks replied like it wasn’t a big deal.
‘Should I not do it?’
Hyeonu wondered for a moment if he should ignore Edward’s request. Getting rid of the demon god. It was an absurd condition. Edward’s three wishes weren’t worth it.
“Of course, it is impossible for you to get rid of the demon god. I also can’t do it.” Callioraks relaxed his expression and gave a small smile.
“Then what should I do? The demon god must not be resurrected.”
“By the way… there is one more place that you should be concerned about.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“Do you know what the demon god means to the demon world?”
“Isn’t it literally a god? It is only half, but…”
Hyeonu leaked that he knew something about the demon god. This was enough to get the attention of Callioraks.
“Half… where did you hear that? There are many surprises today.”
Callioraks burst out laughing. The demon god wasn’t the god that the majority thought of. No one in the demon world knew about it, except for Callioraks himself.
“Have you ever wondered about it? Why did I share that power with you?”
Hyeonu made a surprised expression at the question.
‘Did he give it on purpose?’
It was Callioraks said. He had never thought about it before.
‘To me? Why?’
Hyeonu momentarily thought about it, but he couldn’t figure out the reason why Callioraks gave him some gifts and the chaos attribute.
“I never thought about it, but… I won’t be able to find the reason just by thinking about it.”
“It is because I saw the possibilities. You have a good talent. I believed you would help me in the future.”
The first time Callioraks discovered Hyeonu was long before he actually met with Hyeonu. Callioraks discovered Hyeonu when he was crossing the demon world to meet John Blake.
“Therefore, I decided to invest in you. However, you caused an accident.” There was just something that Callioraks hadn’t expected. The problem was something Hyeonu had done.
“I caused an accident? I can’t think of anything in particular…” Hyeonu shook his head with a confused expression at Callioraks’ words about an accident.
“What is the most important thing I have ever given you?” Callioraks asked Hyeonu a question.
‘What is the most important thing?’
“Chaos…” Hyeonu answered right away without thinking much about it. There was no need to worry over it. It was because there was one thing for certain. It was the attribute of his magic power.
Callioraks nodded at Hyeonu’s answer.
“That’s right, that is it. Then what did you do when you came to the demon world?” Callioraks asked another question. It was the same question.
“Changed the magic power attribute to darkness…” Hyeonu replied in a voice that trailed off. Hyeonu was the one who caused the attribute of John Blake’s magic power to change to darkness.
“Yes, that was the problem. That human being shouldn’t have gained the dark attribute.”
This was against Callioraks’ plans.
“That human being had to overcome the environment of the demon world as he was. He was developing very smoothly. Then you came and struck. He should’ve never received the dark magic power,” Callioraks repeatedly emphasized that Hyeonu’s actions were wrong.
“Is having dark magic power such a problem?” Hyeonu wondered with a slightly flustered expression.
“It isn’t a problem in itself. It is a problem because that human became a demon king,” Callioraks explained the problem.
Why was it a problem that Hyeonu taught John Blake the Mysterious Sky Demonic Art and made him gain the dark attribute?
“Once you become a demon king, you can’t escape the influence of the demon god. It usually doesn’t matter, but you can’t use your full power when you go near the demon god. That is the problem.”
Hyeonu didn’t know Callioraks’ big plan, so he couldn’t understand the meaning. Therefore, he just quietly closed his mouth and listened to Callioraks.
“You seem to know about the demon god, so I won’t go into detail. The demon god failed in his expedition to the middle world and returned to the demon world, barely saving his life. He made a resting place somewhere and entered the sleeping period for recovery.”
Callioraks was currently explaining something that Hyeonu already knew. The demon god was defeated by Larenix.
“Even a demon god can’t deviate from the rules he has made. He would’ve been killed by the demon kings if went to sleep in a defenseless state. Thus, the demon god had his trusted subordinates stand by his side.”
By the time Callioraks’ explanation reached this point, Hyeonu’s mouth became itchy.
“Then Blake and I had the role of dealing with those subordinates?”
“Yes. That was your role. If only it wasn’t for the dark attribute magic power.”
“Isn’t it just a matter of sharing the chaos attribute with Blake as you did with me?” Hyeonu asked like he was wondering what the problem was.
“It isn’t that simple. You and that human being are different. I also can’t afford it.”
Callioraks was busy. To be precise, he had to move regularly rather than being busy. There was an event once a month. It was an event that should never be missed.
“In order to change that human’s attribute, I need to take at least a week off. No. Unless someone else does the work for me.” Callioraks shook his head. He couldn’t afford it.
“What’s going on? If there is anything I can do for you, I will do it,” Hyeonu was unaware of Callioraks’ circumstances and spoke in a heroic tone.
“You? You are going to do it instead? Don’t speak nonsense. There is no way.’
Callioraks refused resolutely. Hyeonu wasn’t just lacking, he was too lacking.
“Why do you think it is only me? There are two more besides me. Isn’t it possible with three?” Hyeonu asked again. He knew he shouldn’t do it alone. It didn’t make sense for him to take on the work of a being like Dallioraks alone.
‘It also isn’t for my own good…’
If the demon god was resurrected, John Blake and Lebron, who were both demon kings and had the dark magic power, would be helplessly under the influence of the demon god. Now things were going strangely. It wasn’t just Edward, but also Lebron and John Blake who were involved.
“Three? Oh, there are other humans. If it is three… it is worth a try.”
Callioraks’ mind spun quickly as he thought of the possibilities. They wouldn’t be able to handle the job as definitively as Callioraks himself, but a small gap could be made. From this gap…
It would be an opportunity to end the heavy duty resting on his shoulders.
“By the way, can you tell me what you are doing, Callioraks?” Hyeonu asked carefully.
“I’ll explain that later. Those two humans also need to know.”
However, the answer was a negative. Callioraks didn’t satisfy Hyeonu’s curiosity.
“Go to those humans first.”
Callioraks snapped his fingers.
***
Thanks to Callioraks’ magic, Hyeonu quickly moved to the city where John Blake and Lebron were located.
‘It is comfortable, comfortable.’
Hyeonu was slightly envious of Callioraks, who freely used teleportation magic like Liru. It was a great advantage to be able to go where they wanted without a return scroll or amulet.
‘By the way, where did Callioraks go?’
It was just that Callioraks’ figure was nowhere to be seen. Even so, Hyeonu didn’t care much.
‘Well, I’m sure he will be nearby.’
He didn’t think Callioraks would be far away. Hyeonu thought he would be watching from somewhere. Due to this, Hyeonu acted without hesitation.
“Teacher! Duke Blake!” Hyeonu shouted loudly. He thought it was more convenient for the two people to come to him than for him to find them.
“It has been a long time since you came, but you are doing this type of thing again. Who the hell taught you…?”
“Who else taught him? It must be you. This ignorant guy.”
Hyeonu’s action were outstanding. In the blink of an eye, John Blake and Lebron appeared in front of Hyeonu.
“Teacher, it is serious,” Hyeonu didn’t give a proper explanation and just said it outright, “Edward is alive.”
