Chapter 1727 Asmodeus' Intentions
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Eren coughed as he took the first drag of a smoke. He had recently opted for an alternative to his usual Sativa Stick due to unavailability in Labh Salem. It didn't take long for him to regret his choice.
"Ugh! What is this awful taste? It's like I'm smoking a dog turd wrapped in paper."
Eren tossed the smoke out of the window, watching it burst into flames and vanish in irritation. He regretted not stocking enough Sativa Stick during his time in Anfang. The supplies from his homeworld had depleted in his storage, leaving him with what he deemed as either mediocre or incompatible substitutes.
"You know what I don't like about your world, Kayara?" Eren asked Kayara abruptly without turning back at her.Witness the genesis of this narrative, streaming from Nøv€lß¡n★
"It's that the demons and gods have consumed the lives of people here. Don't get me wrong– I don't think having faith is a bad thing. But too much of anything can cause a problem." Eren said as he sighed and looked at the star-studded night sky.
The butcher, not feeling shy of his naked form, reclined over the window sill with both his folded arms and felt the gentle nightly breeze on his skin as he continued speaking to her.
"You see, we don't believe in anything where I come from– which I think is equally bad. But at least we got some things right even when we were called the faithless. You people are so busy fighting some ever-so-eternal religious war that you don't know what this life has to offer to you.
You are so busy fighting with each other that you can't see what's best for all of you. For all the diversity in faith you have here, you can't even get a simple thing like making good smoke right."
Eren said and dramatically sighed again. As soon as he realized that there was no better alternative to Sativa Stick, he started to crave it even more.
With a subtle gesture, Eren invited Kayara to join him for a drink. He then lifted the wine glass in his hands, gently swirling its contents as he continued speaking.
"Besides, if I kill you, your coven will send more witches after me," he chuckled.
"Keke. Some of them will spread their legs for me just like what you did. Some will try to bargain, others will resort to blackmail and threats.
And when all else fails, they'll attempt to eliminate me. I've played this game before and don't want to waste my time playing the same thing with different players."
Kayara was shocked once again at how accurately Eren could foresee the actions of her coven in the future. It aligned perfectly with what the higher-ups had planned for him.
"I'm not worried about your coven, Kayara. I can deal with them," Eren spoke seriously as he sensed Kayara getting up from the bed. He allowed her to join him and stand beside him before continuing.
lightsnοvεl "I'm more concerned about the powers that support your coven. Tell me, what is the importance of the Demon Prince of Lust for your coven? Because I'm seeing a pattern here that I refuse to brush off as a mere coincidence," he asked Kayara as he watched her lift her wine glass warily. He didn't say anything to her and allowed her to gauge the contents of the wine silently.
"Demon Lord Asmodeus... he is worshiped by one of the three main branches we have in our coven," Kayara responded to Eren truthfully, even though he was supposed to be her enemy.
She had come to realize that Eren didn't need to do anything special or even lift his hands to kill her. He could just order her to kill herself, and under the influence of the mark, she would have no choice but to follow his orders.
As such, she didn't hesitate any more and drank all of the wine in the glass in one big gulp to calm her nerves. The auburn-
haired witch then began explaining the structure of her coven and its hierarchy.
