Chapter 190: Summon!

"That's physically impossible, isn't it?" Desire murmured.

Well, it was the truth that it was physically impossible for someone to grow several years, more than a decade, or even a single year in a single night.

There was just no way that would happen to someone. Of course, except for Desire.

"Damn, so I really am special. Guess it must be the Quarter God blood or something."

Desire said with a smile on his face. After all, it was an event that just proved that he was truly special.

It was only natural that he would be happy about this event.

Well, to Desire, this event was normal now. After all, there were so many events that happened to him ever since he was a baby.

Of course, now that Desire made sense of the situation, he quickly whipped his mind the other way.

He was not looking at his skills for the Innate Skill or his second innate skill.

He was looking for the skill that he got when he was a baby, the Summon Familiar Skill.

"It's finally time to use you." Desire murmured as he sent his consciousness to his Core.

As Desire was really used to this action now, it didn't take him more than a second to reach his Core.

And his Core...was shining in the color of blue. Desire's Pure Blue Core was truly a sight to see.

His Core was so shiny and it was in the perfect shape of a Core.

Although Desire didn't know this, his Core was once damaged when the Trial of Burning Air happened.

Now...his Core was healed up and was patched up as if nothing happened at all.

That was because of what happened to his body. His body that suddenly grew up affected the Core as well, which resulted in this shiny and peerless Pure Blue Core.

Anyway, when Desire got here, he quickly went to work as he churned up his mana.

Of course, he did that subconsciously now as he was used to this.

He then sent back his consciousness to his body as he only went here to confirm his Core.

After all, there were many changes to his body. It was more than possible that his Core suddenly went up and disappeared on him.

Anyways, when Desire got back to his body, he immediately shouted out loud as he used his skill.

"Summon!" Desire shouted out loud as he put out his right hand in front.

And as soon as he did, Desire could feel his mana exiting his body fast.

What's more, the amount of mana exiting his body was large. Even Desire could feel the sudden loss of mana in his Core.

However, Desire didn't care about that at all as his eyes soon witnessed a change in front of his eyes.

A black...pillar. A black pillar was standing in front of Desire right now as that pillar was shining in black light.

It was weird how Desire was able to see darkness when it was night time, but that was how...accurate Desire's senses were.

Of course, after some time, the shining black pillar soon grew dim as it disappeared into the darkness of the night.

And in the spot where the black pillar used to stand was a man who was wearing a robe.

In other words, this was the familiar that Desire summoned.

However, before even Desire could talk to the familiar, the man talked.

"Huh? What the hell happened?" He said as he noticed that he was in a different place.

He remembered that he was inside his mansion, thinking of plans while being served tea by his butler, Bas.

That was why it was weird for the man as he was suddenly...in another place without even moving.

He didn't even feel that he was moving or something like that.

It was as if...someone just snapped his finger and then boom! The man was transported to another place.

At least, that was how the man thought as he looked at his surroundings.

However, before even the man could make sense of this situation, Desire spoke with a low tone.

"Hmm? He's not the same guy who I summoned before."

And as soon as the man heard that, he quickly tried to use his powers to defend himself.

After all, who knows what kind of threat or dangerous being Desire was.

However, when the man's eyes landed on Desire, he...relaxed.

No...he could feel his emotions and nerves being forced to relax, and that was why he didn't do anything to hide or run or defend himself.

'H-huh?' The man thought as it was strange for him to be like this.

It was then that Desire spoke once more with a loud voice this time as he looked at the man.

"So, you are my familiar, eh? I wonder what familiar means at this point." Desire said as he observed the man with quite the curious eyes.

Familiar was a familiar. It was a being that should be close to Desire, and that was why it was called a familiar.

However, at this point, Desire was only able to summon that robed guy from before, who had no connection to him at all.

It was also the same case with the current familiar that he just summoned.

It was obvious that...Desire and this man didn't have the connection of a familiar and a master.

That was why Desire didn't know what the Summon Familiar Skill even means.

Of course, Desire didn't really care about that as he just thought of the question that he had for a long time now.

This question was meant for the previous familiar that he summoned, but well.

This was the guy he summoned, so it should be fine to ask him this question as well.

And that question was...

"Hey, are you a human or a monster?"

Right, this was the question that was bugging Desire for a while now.

He remembered that he wasn't feeling anything when he first saw the first familiar that he summoned.

Even now, Desire was not feeling anything. That was why he was curious about this.

A human was able to make him feel hatred, and a monster was able to make him feel love.

There was only one time when Desire has not felt something stir up within him when he met someone, and that was when he met Aimon.

That was why he was curious about this.

However, it seems that the man wasn't planning on answering as he just stayed quiet.

He didn't answer at all, and he was just looking at Desire.

And Desire was just looking at him as well. Desire could see this man's handsome face.

The man's face was striking, and one would immediately think that he was a passionate man just from his face.

Black hair crowned the man's head and his red eyes were glowing.

The man was quite tall as well, but he was a little bit shorter than Desire's current height.

'Hmm...why is he not speaking anything?' Desire thought as he tilted his head.

His red eyes...started to glow ominously as he looked at the man.

Desire's veins started to pop in his forehead as his face turned into a frown.

After all, Desire...was not liking how this man was not answering his question even though a lot of time has already passed.

That was why Desire spoke again with a heavy tone as his red eyes...sharpened.

"I asked you once."

"I'm not going to ask you twice."

And as soon as Desire finished saying those words, his aura...immediately changed.

From a nonchalant look to a stifling presence, Desire's aura made it hard for the man to breathe.

"Hkk!" The man let out a sound as he felt his breath cutting off literally.

Even though he was forcing himself to breathe, he...couldn't.

It was as if the man had his right to breathe taken away in a single moment.

What's more, the man was strong. That was why it was weird.

He was strong, yet he was powerless.

'Impossible!' The man thought as he tried to churn up his powers once more.

However, as if he was not even allowed to do anything, the man...felt his powers leaking out of his grasp.

He even felt his restless self relax again as he looked at Desire.

It was...an event that the man was unfamiliar with, but...he soon decided to just answer.

Right, since that was what Desire wanted, the man...would just give an answer.

And with great effort, the man murmured, "N-no..."

And as if it were all an illusion, the pressure bearing down on the man disappeared.

But...the man still couldn't breathe.

However, that, too, soon changed as Desire spoke again.

"No? Then what are you? Don't make me ask again or I'll dig your two eyes out."

Desire said as his right hand...started to darken. It seems that he really didn't like how the man took his time to answer his question.

Of course, now that the man learned his lesson, he quickly spoke to satisfy Desire.

No...it took him a great deal of effort to even speak as the pressure that Desire released was even stronger now.

"I-I-I...I am a demon."
