"Just as I thought, you were only using me, Eve Liss, you despicable and cunning woman."
"However, I generously forgive you, because I am also a despicable and cunning man, and I only wanted to take advantage of you."
Kyal had long suspected that Eve's quick agreement to sell herself to him was suspicious, which was why he hadn't fully revealed his intention to teach her Nen abilities, strengthen her willpower, and solidify her values and beliefs when he gave her the choice earlier, as a test.
"What do you want to use me for? To use me to become the Demon King and then dominate the demon race by controlling me?"
Eve, now completely oblivious to the dangers, boldly asked the question.
"Why should I do something so strenuous and thankless? I have no interest in power."
Kyal rolled his eyes.
"What do I have left that you can use? My strength is definitely inferior to yours."
"Could it be... that you are still interested in my body after all?"
Eve crossed her arms and moved back slightly, looking at Kyal warily.
"Don't worry, because you're still a child, I won't lay a hand on you."
Kyal looked at Eve's thin figure with pity.
"You...you jerk! I'm an adult! I'm a year older than you!"
Eve was furious when she saw the pity in Kyal's eyes.
Does being physically underdeveloped mean you have no human rights?!
In this medieval-style world of swords and magic, everyone, whether human or demon, is considered an adult at the age of 14.
"In short, you're too young and not my type. If you grow up in the future, I might reluctantly consider it."
Kyal tried his best to suppress his laughter and make himself look more serious.
"So...you really just want my body, don't you?! You're despicable! Let me tell you! Even if I promised to be loyal to you and obey your orders, I will never give you my innocence just because of your command!"
Eve cried out excitedly, her face flushed, as she stretched her black wings forward to cover her body and took two steps back.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, and I'm not short of women. I won't force anyone. Sweetie, I'm not interested in you right now. Sit down."
Kyal gestured to Eve not to get so excited and to sit down and talk slowly.
"That's true. A hero as powerful as you must have no shortage of women around him... So what exactly do you plan to use me for?"
"The divine bird of death, Garadurius, I remember that the monsters that your Blackwing Clan controls are it, aren't they? The guardian deity that transcends the realm of monsters, I want you to pass its trials and obtain its power."
How did you know that!?
Eve exclaimed incredulously, her expression one of utter shock. This was a secret known only to their Blackwing Clan.
The Blackwing Clan is an extremely powerful race, which is why they are suppressed and feared by the current Demon King.
It's not just because of their powerful racial talents, but also because the monsters they can command are even more powerful beings. There is only one of its kind in the world, who has survived from the distant past to the present day, and is known as the divine bird, Garadurius.
Long, long ago, a large-scale infectious disease broke out, causing a huge number of deaths among the people of this strange world where medical conditions were not very good.
The Garuda appeared, and after completely eradicating the disease, it flew away. After that, it was worshipped as a savior bird.
Conversely, some people, based on legend, point out that it is a demonic bird of destruction, and that diseases are spread by it.
This was merely driven by greed, and they went to hunt it down in order to find a righteous cause. It was said that eating its flesh would grant immortality, and after that, a certain country led an army of thousands of soldiers to hunt it.
As a result, upon touching the whirlwind created by the flapping of Galadrius's wings, the army was instantly afflicted with a deadly disease and destroyed.
Later, survivors of the disease returned to the kingdom, further devastating the entire country.
After that, Garadurius reappeared, relishing the rampant disease.
According to legend, it has the ability to gnaw at diseases and spread them.
It is basically a beneficial bird that only eats disease-causing food, but when it is hostile to it, it becomes a pest bird that spreads diseases.
This is an existence that should absolutely not be provoked; the uniqueness of its abilities makes Garadurius possess the power to destroy entire nations.
The Blackwing Clan possesses the divine bird that controls death and disease, the legendary Garadurius. This is a secret known only to their clan, and it is never revealed to outsiders.
Such a powerful being is naturally intelligent, and such intelligent monsters are not easily controlled by their respective demon races.
It will put demons who want to dominate it through trials. Only by passing the trials can one gain its recognition and assistance.
Over the years, no member of the Blackwing Clan has been able to pass its trial. In recent years, even Eve's grandfather, the former Demon King, failed the trial and only narrowly escaped with his life. This shows just how difficult the trial is.
"It's a secret."
Kyal's face broke into a smug, riddle-like smile, making Eve feel a little emboldened.
Forget it, I can't beat them...
Realizing that she was still a complete novice, Eve loosened her clenched fist.
