Chapter 144: Sealed Demoness

Chapter 144: Sealed Demoness



[You killed an Ordergiver!]

[50 XP Acquired!]

'I didn't kill the demoness, it seems.' Adam thought with a frown. 'Otherwise, I would've gained way more experience than this.'

At that moment, he heard faint sobbing coming from inside the smoldering building-the family of five was still tied with tears running down their cheeks.

Adam quickly went to them and cut their ropes with his sharp sword.

The family hugged at each other, crying and whispering thank you.

They thought they would be used as a sacrifice to some demonic ritual. It was said that sacrifices of those rituals may never reach the gates of heaven, and this family was quite religious and feared what fate awaited them beyond death.

While they kept crying, Adam approached Loya's naked, ash-clad body and saw that there was

a strange dagger beside her. It was the dagger that she was using.

He took it with a trembling hand and felt the weight of the weapon in his palm.

It was cold and sharp to the touch.

It was still clearly a very valuable weapon.

When Adam looked at his sword's information, he noticed that its durability decreased drastically, even when he used his Kraft!

'What a spectacular weapon,' Adam twirled the dagger around and whispered. "Information.'

***

'Luckily the fight was short,' Adam breathed a sigh of relief. 'We exchanged blows around ten times, and that alone caused my weapon's durability to drop thirty percent.'

He stored the weapon in his inventory, very tempted to keep using it.

However, it wouldn't fit his fighting style as a Tank. That's why he was not quite sure what to do with it.

The dagger's max damage was also not that high compared to other Legendary weapons. After all, the daggers were never high damage weapons.

However, it was easily better than his current sword-Gladius Sword—that had meager max damage of fifty.

The crimson sea's tall waves crashed against the shore.

"Ah!" Adam opened his eyes wide and grumbled in annoyance. "Seriously, in the middle of the street? Couldn't you wait?"

"I wanted to give you my congratulations," Alastor said with a smirk. "You managed to stop an apocalypse. Be more happy. Go on, cheer; you're a hero."

"I don't feel like a hero," Adam said.

"Oh, what will make you feel like a hero?" Alastor asked. "Big parade in your honor? A statue the size of the Great Wall? A blessing from the God?"

"I didn't kill the demoness, did I?" Adam turned to him with a frown. "She survived."

Alastor looked at the sea and shrugged his shoulders. "You think killing a primordial being

such as herself is as easy as killing an Ordergiver?"

"I thought she would be stopped if I killed Loya."

"She was stopped," Alastor said. "For now."

"For now?" Adam frowned.

"She'll return," Alastor said. "She is still in the control of Loya. There was nothing you

could've done to stop that."

"Then, when she is done respawing, can't she just do the ritual and swallow the sun?"

"No, that's the sweet part," Alastor said with a grin. "You killing her was not for naught. She

is somewhat sealed in Loya's body now, but she can still speak to her, able to poison her mind, but she cannot complete the ritual without taking control of the body."

"How long will that seal last?"

"It could be five or ten years," Alastor said, unsure. "It depends how strong Loya becomes during that time. One thing is for sure: that demoness will do everything in her power to help

her grow strong."

"She'll just hide and grow stronger for the next few years." Adam sighed. "Is there stopping

her even?"

"You're the only one that knows about that threat," Alastor said. "Now, you are way too weak

to completely kill the demoness in her body. That's why, when the next time comes, you'll need to be strong enough to kill her completely."

"The seal will become weaker the stronger Loya becomes, so can't we just keep finding her and killing her?" Adam asked.

"Good luck with that," Alastor said. "I was only able to sense her because she was this close, and now that she is sealed, it's even harder to sense her. Also, I am sure that she has thousands of hideouts to choose from. After all, there are some factions that are loyal to her."

'I guess the same thing happened in the previous life,' Adam thought with a frown. 'I am even more convinced that Calamity was the vessel of Alastor. He must've killed Loya at year 2151 to seal demoness away, but failed to kill her next time around.'

"Anyway, it was nice to catch up with you, hero~" Alastor waved his hand. "Grow stronger." With that, Adam disappeared from the Old World once again.
