Chapter 648 A Conversation

"What exactly did you heard from them?" I asked.

"They called you Asmodeus. They said… that you were the reincarnation of someone they hated, Beelzebub's enemy. And that… they wanted you dead. Pretty much that." He said. "Is this… true?"

"…Yes." I didn't had anything to hide anymore. "I started getting these memories since I was younger. Memories of experiences I didn't experienced, memories of being someone I wasn't… As I grew up, they continued emerging, and becoming clearer, until I realized it was… my previous life."

"You… your previous life was an enemy of the demons?" Erdrich asked. "T-That's honestly awesome…"

I guess he was still a kid if he found that "awesome". Maybe I misjudged his reaction, he seemed to be fine by taking it all. He often acts serious but he's not so different from Chris personality-wise.

"It's a lot to take in but… The abilities I have and the many things I know could be partially attributed to these memories I slowly acquired." I sighed. "Perhaps in the future I'll go into further detail about this. I hope you can understand, it is not easy to explain."

"Ah, well, that's enough for me. I guess this Ki power and everything… So it was really from another life you had." Erdrich was amused. "Okay, fine, I'll save your secret. As long as you can give me a favor."

"A favor?" I wondered.

"Y-Yeah… A lot happened yesterday so… Patricia is kind of into me, and I want some… some tips." He blushed a bit.

"Oh, that kind of favor." I gave him a teasing smile.

"D-Don't look at me like that! You're just popular with girls so I want to learn some tips from you so I could… err, well, handle her? And maybe conquer her more…" He said. "I-I don't want to lose this opportunity. She's pretty and I like her…"

"Heh, I guess I didn't had to worry, you're just growing and becoming a man." I laughed.

"W-What are you laughing about?!" Erdrich became all flustered.

At the end, Erdrich merely wanted some help in how to attract a girl's attention. To be honest, Patricia was an odd girl that liked muscles and strong people, so she fell for Erdrich mostly due to his physical appearance and feats.

Taking that into consideration, he seemed to want her to notice his personality as well and how he was, so I gave him a few tips. I've never taken myself as someone that would attract women, but in this life I've made a lot of girls interested in me unwillingly, it seems they like someone decisive.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Confidence is a key point, you have to show yourself confident of your own strength, your own personality, and your goals. Having goals in mind is always the best way to have confidence, and a way to achieve these goals, no matter how arduous it can be." I said to Erdrich, as he began writing it down.

"My goal…" He wondered. "I guess it would be to save the world and free it from the Demon Towers, maybe? I also want to avenge my mother for what the cult bastards did to her… And their doing is also the primary reason why I was born as a half-demon too."

"Well, that's certainly a strong goal, I am sure that she'll like it." I nodded. "I heard from her speaking that she hates demons and cultists for what happened in one of her towns."I think you should take a look at

"Oh right… She had briefly said something about that." Erdrich said. "It seems her town was destroyed, and she wandered as an orphan through a good part of her childhood until she found somewhere to belong, and became a young mercenary that was later brought here."

"It is interesting how despite hating demons she doesn't mind you being a half-demon, I guess she's at least smarter than she looks." I laughed.

"Well, of course." Erdrich said with a smile. "Anyways, I'll take these things into consideration… She told me this morning she was free, so I invited her to our house, is it okay?"

"It's fine by me." I shrugged. "Good luck with your endeavors, Erdrich."

"Thanks, Blake." He said. "Though… Wait a bit."

"Hm?" I asked.

"About what we talked before… your previous life memories resurfacing… When will you tell everyone about this?" Asked Erdrich.

"Hmmm…" I sighed. "I've been thinking it for a while, but I feel like unlike you, they might not be completely ready yet. But soon, don't worry. I don't plan to keep this a secret from those I care about. I trust you all, I just want to make sure all of them are ready for the truth."

"I see…" Erdrich nodded. "So… What did you do when you were Asmodeus?"

"I can't say for sure, the memories are dizzy but… He was someone that saved many people and hunted down the demons. He died against the King of all Demons, Lucifer." I sighed. "I guess my intent to free this world from them comes from my previous life."

"Someone so amazing he fought against Lucifer?!" Asked Erdrich in utter shock. "Damn… That's crazy."

"It is." I laughed. "It is so far from my current strength that it feels unreachable, yet… I feel like every step I make towards that same goal brings me closer to it. As long as I have you guys helping me out as well, I believe we can make it, and this time, actually kill him." I said with a confident smile.

"Damn, so that's the smile I need to learn." Erdrich said. "Honestly if I were a girl I would be head over heels for you too, you've got the charms." He laughed.

"That sounded a bit suspicious but I'll let it slide." I stepped out of the room.

"Suspicious?! What are you talking about?! Oi! I'm straight, okay?!" Erdrich barked behind me.

As I went back to my room, I decided to assess the new Summons and companions I've brought to my side, Woo, and Fang. They've been resting inside of my Spirit Orb, but I summoned them to check on them, and well, also the rest of my friends.
