Chapter 66: He will make a good demon (1/2)

The dimension gate shuts behind Reis and Fang Aisa. It evaporates into the air, leaving everyone amazed by the events. In the furthest corner of the hall, Fate has been quietly hearing everything. There is little she can do right now. She can't constrain an immortal demon oracle from doing what she will do next. The immortal demons are the people who have succumbed to the darkness. After becoming the king or queen ranked semi-mortal, the person has to cross Dante's Inferno to shed his mortality and become an immortal. After crossing Dante's Inferno, they become immortal. However, most of those people have lost their minds or they are tainted by the darkness. If their heart is still impure after crossing Dante's circles of hell, they can never be accepted by heaven.

Reis is smart. Even now, he used someone like this oracle against her. A god is using a demon immortal. How ridiculous is that! A god and a demon stand on the opposite side of the line. She clutches her dress in frustration. She needs to cleanse herself of the karma she accumulated before she can come back here. If Reis is really trying to transform Fang Aisa into a god, everything is going out of hand.

”Hey, Shaman King!” The immortal demon oracle sits cross-legged on the floor. Though she is immortal, she is still afraid of death. Seeing a real god scared her out of wits earlier. Else, who bows down to a god, eh? Her friends are going to make fun of her if they find out. The cat is cute though.

She bowed to a cute cat. There is no harm in that.

Sung Jun stares her like she is a dead woman. The immortal demon flinches when she sees his expression. He looks scarier than the demon lord. She is too scared to remove the barrier. A demon is afraid of a half-mortal. Ah! He will make a good demon. Already a king-ranked shaman, huh? His future is rather bright. Should she take him and throw him in hell? If he survives, he will come out as an immortal. Maybe he can beat down the cocky demon lord for her?

”Hey Shaman King, how about you follow me and become a demon?

”Come out of the barrier.” Sung Jun commands her in a low voice.

”You dare to command me, sweetheart?” The teen girl raises her green brow. ”Do you know who I am?”

”If you are an immortal, what are you afraid of?” Sung Jun asks in an unkind tone.

”What I am afraid of?” The demon jumps on her feet. ”Hah! Mortal, I am not afraid of anything.

”Remove the barrier.” He lips curl up into a mocking smile. ”Come out if you are a real demon.”

”Jun, do not worry.” Ms Sung puts her hand on his shoulder. ”I have called a priest. He is coming with holy water. The barrier will become ineffective once he is here.”

”Hey, how could you call a priest?” The demon is truly scared this time. The heaven knows. The hell knows. The infinite number of gods and demons knows. Strong faith can even bend down a god's will. What are demons in front of a true priest with pure faith?

”Are you afraid?” Sung Jun is untroubled after hearing Ms Sung's words. ”As I said earlier, we can do it in a hard way.”

”What hard way?” The demon's eyes turned neon green. ”That damn god told me to show your previous lifetime and your future to you. Do you want to see or not?”

”I am not interested.” He crosses his arms. ”I am interested to know where he took her.”

”Did I look like his buddy?” The demon spats in anger. ”I am a freaking demon. An immortal demon. I chose to be a demon after crossing the nine circles of hell. Do you understand this, mortal? I chose the path of darkness. My dream is to become the empress of hell.”

Sung Jun is unfazed. He looks toward the door, evidently waiting for the priest to arrive.

”I can just leave now. You can do nothing to stop me, Mortal.” The demon clicks her tongue.

”If you go to hell, I will summon you right back.”

”Haha! You can try...” The demon is baffled, but she still laughs. ”Since it is like this, I will tell you this. That god is the god of time. He is a primordial god. He is certainly high class. You can never win against him. Earlier, I tried to see her future. But there is only darkness ahead of her. It means two things. Either she broke the heaven law and she is abandoned by heaven. She joins me in the hell in future after her death or she is already dead. Teehee!”

She waits for Sung Jun to probe. But he doesn't respond. He seems bored by her words.

”Tch!” She shakes her head. ”What kind of person are you? How you are not surprised?”
