Side Story Chapter 150

-Are you going to kill your own son, Joshua Sanders?

Evergrant pointed out that Kireua had been bleeding out of the hole Joshuas spear had made in him. The bleeding had stopped for some reason, but Kireua was completely unconscious and his head hung limply.

I already knew this, but it has to be said: you really have no dignity, Joshua retorted through Liliths mouth.

Evergrant chuckled quietly.

-Are you angry?

Do I look angry?

-Good, thats what I was hoping for.

I really cant congratulate you for fulfilling your dream of becoming a Ninth Circle mage, Joshua said.

-Thats a shame. I wanted to receive congratulations from the man whos considered the best in the current generation, even if its just for politenesss sake. Hehehe.

In contrast to Joshua, who was serene as a lake, Lilith was so infuriated that she nearly burst a vein.

Can I please punch that lich? she asked. However, a beautiful dark elf with chocolate skin walked out of the shadows before Lilith could start swinging.

Evergrant con Aswald, dont cross the line, Aisha warned the lich.

-...Who do you think you are to interrupt our conversation?

One of the basic terms in an undeads contract is that the undead can never inflict harm on the master, isnt it? Aisha snapped.

The master in this contract was, of course, Joshua because he was the undead's source of demonic power, the only thing enabling their continued existence. If Joshua so wished, he could instantly turn Evergrant into a handful of dust. However, this man was too soft-hearted and didnt seem to have the slightest thought of doing sothat was why Aisha stepped in. She was going to tie up Evergrants limbs using the terms of his contract and she would kill him herself if he continued to run amok.

Aisha Joshua trailed off.

Dont delude yourself. Youre an atrociously indecisive man, but Im not doing this for you, Aisha coldly replied.

In truth, the sense of betrayal that Aisha had felt after finding out that Joshua wasnt a dragon was beyond anyones imagination. Was it because she had been deceived and used? No, that wasnt the reason, since Aisha was the one who had jumped to conclusions. As a matter of fact, she had received a lot of help and had not really suffered a loss at all.

That aside, Aisha had believed that Joshua was her friend, but Joshua hadnt reciprocated. Elves valued promises and truth by nature, so although their first encounter might not have been genuine, Joshua could have at least given Aisha a heads-up. However, he hadnt told Aisha the truth even now. Shed found out Joshuas son, not Joshua himself. While teaching Kireua her stealth and other techniques, Aisha had noticed that Kireua was a pure human, not a half-dragon.

Im just doing this for Kireua, my student, Aisha flatly stated, her eyes cold.

Thank you.

There is no need to thank me!

Hes your student, but hes also my son. As his father, how can I not feel grateful to you? Joshua smiled faintly.

Forget it. A sigh slipped out of Aishas frowning lips. Evergrant con Aswald, put Kireua back in his original state. If not, Im going to use my full power to annihilate you.

Aisha released murderous energy vastly more powerful than anything that had been used so far. It was Killing Intent, the murderous energy of murderous energy.

-Youre quite arrogant. Do you think you can hurt me?

If your master activates your forbidden seal for failing to uphold the contract, why not?

Evergrant visibly recoiled, but Aisha looked at Joshua.

Enough of your indecisiveness. Evergrant con Aswald will continue to stand in your way now that he has what he wanted. It would be best to take care of him here right now.

Joshua was silent for some reason, much to Liliths frustration.

What are you doing?! she shouted. Shes asking you!

-Would Evergrant even bat an eye if I annihilated him right now?

Y-You have a point, but why do you think Evergrant is that confident? Its because overcoming that is difficult

-Look over there.

Joshua turned her head for her, forcing her to see what he saw. Her lip trembled.

Ki-Kireua? Lilith said aloud. She clapped her hand over her mouth. Her voice was quiet but clear, so everyone around her looked in the same direction.

-What?

Evergrant realized that white smoke was rising from Kireuas body like he was a chunk of ice dropped into a fire.

Kireua was sweating buckets, but the sweat vaporized instantly, meaning that something was happening inside him.

-This cant be possible.

Evergrant quickly drew up his demonic power.

-Aden von Agnus! Why cant you take care of one boy

You shouldnt interrupt him, Joshua said.

-Ugh!

Joshua finally took action and made Evergrant strangle himself. Although he was currently in Liliths body, the contract between Joshua and Evergrant was made on their souls. In other words, Joshua had no problem in exerting his influence.

-Joshua Sanders You bastard!

Its master to you, not bastard, Joshua sneered.

-Y-You dont care if something bad happens to your son?

I already told you that Kireua isnt weak enough to succumb to this tribulation. I look forward to seeing you fall deeper into despair.

-Gakh! He, hehehehe. You dream big.

Evergrant didnt stop laughing in spite of his splitting headache. It seemed Kireua was putting up some sort of fight, but his fate was already sealed. The combined efforts of the infamous Dark God and Evergrant himself had put Kireua into that state, so how could Evergrant lose?

-You will beg me to save your son. Youll cry for forgiveness underneath my feet.

Right back at you.

-What?

You said it just now: youll beg to be saved and cry for forgiveness under my feet.

Evergrant loosed his demonic power, but it quickly subsided.

-Ahh! Arggghhhhhhh!

The forbidden seal was automatically activated by Evergrants attempt to hurt his master, so Joshua didnt need to do anything.

-Joshua Sanders! I curse you! I hate you! I loathe and despise you!

Its interesting that were on the same page with this one. I feel the same when I look at you. Joshua shrugged.

-We will see how long you will be able to stay relaxed!

Evergrant abruptly stopped speaking and moving.

Ki-Kireua? Aisha noticed that something was changing with Kireua. The smoke around him had vanished, and the air had stilled like the calm before the storm.

And then Kireua opened his eyes.

His eyes glowed with a lurid red light.
