Chapter 149: A fabrication

"This fallen demon...he plans to accelerate His growth."

Aimon said as he pointed to himself. Of course, the one speaking was the one controlling him, Anino.

And Anino was pretty sure of what he found out, and that was why he didn't stop there.

He continued speaking as he looked at Beast, who was bewildered.

After all, if Aimon was here to accelerate His growth, that means that his decision to kill Aimon would definitely be a bad thing.

That was why Beast was shocked.

"I don't know how he would do it, and we don't have to know it."

"However, it's the truth that he plans to make Him become stronger."

"That was also why I didn't want you to kill him."

And when Anino said that, Beast had his head tilted sidewards. After all, Beast was confused.

Beast knew that Aimon was a fallen demon. And a fallen demon would only come here, to Desire's Spiritual World, to get His attention.

However, why is Anino saying that Aimon came here for another reason?

That confused Beast and that was why he spoke as he looked at Aimon.

"Then, you're saying that this fallen demon don't know about Him?"

After all, every demon would know about Him. Even a fallen demon would know about Him.

At least, according to Beast's knowledge, every demon, dead or alive, should know about him.

They should know about him, and they would be trying to get His attention right now.

They would do everything to meet Him, and even death would not stop them.

That was how demons would act when it came to Him. However, the fallen demon, Aimon, came here not to get His attention, but for some other reason?

Even if Aimon came here to accelerate His growth, it doesn't make sense at all.

After all, that means that Aimon didn't know about Him. And a demon who doesn't know about Him is not a demon.

In fact, if a demon claims to not know about Him, every other demon would disown that demon.

That was how...influential and important He was.

That was why Beast couldn't believe that Aimon didn't know about Him at all.

However, it seems that Anino thought otherwise as he spoke.

"Weren't you the one to say that he was a fallen demon, and he was from the Twelfth Hell?"

"The Twelfth Hell is the weakest, and the place where trashes are born."

"It's only natural that this fallen demon won't know about Him."

Right, the Twelfth Hell is the weakest hell and is a place that no one cares about.

If this demon was from that place, it would make sense that he wouldn't know about Him.

Well, it was not Aimon's fault for not knowing Him. It's not like Aimon knew His appearance or identity or something like that.

However, it was also the truth that Aimon was aware of His existence.

That was why Aimon was shocked to his core right now. He was shocked beyond belief, and he was lost for words.

After processing all the information that came from Anino and Beast's conversation, what Aimon could understand was...

'D-Desire...is Him?'

The one who these guys were talking about is Him, and from how their conversation was going, He...was Desire.

Of course, Aimon knew who He was. That was why Aimon couldn't believe it.

After all, He...was just a fabrication. 

Something that every demon believes in, but is not real.

Something that every demon knows, but is also unknown to them.

Something that every demon yearns for, but...they can't have it.

That was Him.

In fact, every demon was so crazy about Him that they thought that He was real.

What's more, even Aimon was playing by the rules of the demon society.

Aimon...was living his life as if he really thought that He was real. Aimon acted and did things according to the theory that He was roaming the world.

However, that was just because that was the laws in his homeworld, the Twelfth Hell!

That was why Aimon...didn't know what to do with this information that he has right now.

If what Anino and Beast were talking about was true, the whole demon race would rejoice!

After all, Aimon would be able to tell this information to them, and they would be able to greet Him.

They would be able to meet and greet Him...they would be able to see Desire.

However, it seems that reality was cruel, even for the fallen demon as Anino spoke once more.

"Anyway, I think it would be better to allow this fallen demon to do his thing."

"He is awake now, and He should be making these decisions. It's not like we could just reject His intentions when He clearly gave permission for this fallen demon to be here."

Anino was the one who controlled Aimon before when he was trying to find Desire's Spiritual Vein.

As Aimon 'entered' Desire's body literally, Aimon also came into contact with Anino.

That was why Anino was able to do that quite easily without any consequence.

That was also why Anino knew why Desire allowed Aimon to be here. After all, there's just no way Aimon would be able to enter Desire's body easily.

Even if Aimon was strong, Desire would still die first before Aimon would be able to enter Desire's body.

After all, it would be more reasonable for Desire to fight if someone was entering his body. However, if he gave permission for Aimon to be in here, things would make sense.

That was why Anino was sure that Desire allowed him here.

Of course, Beast also thought of that way, but there was one thing that Beast was concerned about.

That was why Beast spoke as he looked at Anino.

"How about this piece of shit, then? If you were to get out of his body, he would be able to regain control."

"If he regains control, he would be able to tell people of what happened in here."

"He would be able to tell people that we are in here, and that is something that must not happen."

"After all, it is not time, yet."

What Beast said was the truth. 

It was not the time for people to know about Him.

And if people were to know about Him, many...would try to hunt Him down. Many would try to kill Him.

That was why things should be kept secret, and that was how Anino and Beast did things.

They even went as far as not to talk to Him even though they could.

Beast himself chased away Desire when Desire...was able to come to his own Spiritual World when he ranked up.

That was something that should not happen, but that was a necessary sacrifice.

Of course, Anino knew that as well, and that was why he spoke.

"Don't worry about that. I have my way."

It was then that Anino raised Aimon's right hand and raised two fingers.

Those two fingers were the index and the middle finger, and there was something special about them.

And that was...Aimon's fingers were completely black, but that was because of Anino's powers.

Right, Anino was using his powers right now, and what's more, the target was Aimon.

And that means that...Anino was endangering himself! After all, he could die if Aimon dies.

It was ironic if you think about how he scolded Beast because Beast planned to kill Aimon at the cost of his own life.

Of course, that was what Beast thought as well and that was why Beast spoke.

"Hey! I thought that we aren't allowed to die until He matures?"

"How come you're gonna go ahead and do something like that?"

"Aren't you contradicting yourself?!"

Beast then grabbed Aimon's hand with force as he couldn't stop himself.

Well, he now knew how much their deaths would affect Him. No matter the reason, they must not die.

However, it seems that was not the case as Anino spoke as he looked at Beast.

"Hah. Don't worry about it." Anino said as he snapped away from Beast's hold.

He then continued as Aimon's right hand...became completely black!

It was so black that it looked like Aimon's hand was missing right now.

Of course, that was also what Aimon thought as he panicked about this.

After all, it was basically his body, but alas. There was nothing Aimon could do about this, and he could only watch as Anino spoke once more with his mouth.

"I will just plant a curse on this fallen demon, and it would be fine."

"Although I would technically be pushing myself with just this, I won't die."

"After all, at the end of the day, it is just a curse."

Beast's eyes then widened as he finally remembered that Anino could cast a curse.

Well, it was not his fault that he forgot about it as he had been sleeping for so long.

It was then that Beast spoke with a smile on his face. After all, a curse could do anything. Literally, anything.

"What would your curse be?"

Of course, Anino knew what Beast was thinking about, and that was why he also smiled.

"I will place a curse so that he won't be able to talk about any of this."

"I will place a curse so that this fallen demon....won't be able to talk about, with, and to Him."

"I will curse him so that he won't be able to meet Him when He matures!"

And when Beast heard that, he started laughing. No, it was not only Beast but also Anino. They both started laughing.

Kuhahahaha!!

Why?

That was because that kind of curse...was the cruelest, most brutal, and most heartbreaking for a demon.

And that was proven as Aimon...couldn't even begin to think about this.

And it was only a matter of time until he would be cursed by Anino, the Lord of Shadows.
