"How?! Everything proves that he should have used it, but if he did… then why are you still alive…?" the confusion on the sprout human"s face was quite apparent…
"Well, I can"t blame him for that… I almost died thanks to that method…"
Seeing how this former demon seemed to understand a bit about the Shaman"s method, it was only natural for him to be this shocked knowing that I managed to stay alive after it was used, as it was indeed a close call for me…
"I have my own methods, you don"t need to overthink it, all you need to do is to satisfy my curiosity… and who knows? I might let you keep your morphy life, if you do earn your keep…"
In any case, this guy was obviously a normal human right now, if he really gave me the proper amount of information, then I could just use my "Mental Suggestions" and send him to the Green Earth Village to live there, he might be useful even later after all…
"... Why would I want to keep this puny human life of mine… You need to offer something better than this… otherwise you can just kill me now." seemingly calming down after was.h.i.+ng his confusion away, the former demon started acting arrogantly…
"Stop bluffing already, any human who would sell his life to the demons is most likely to care about staying alive more than anything…"
Seeing that this former demon still didn"t realize that it won"t be easy to try and trick me, I decided to try the new ability I gained on him.
"But… ugh!"
His attempt to retort was cut short as he was suddenly sent kneeling on the ground as if there was some sort of a heavy weight being put on his back…
"This "Dragon Aura" works much better than I expected…"
The ability that I tried was obviously the domination of "Dragon Aura", I had only expected slight fear similar to the effects of the t.i.tle that I gained back then at the beginner forest, but it"s effect seemed to be more "Physically Effective" than I imagined…
"It"s probably only because he is almost in a normal human state…"
The power of the domination effect that offered intimidation towards all species was bound to be dependent on the type of species and their level of power, after all, it was unlikely for a baby lion to scare an a.d.u.l.t ox…
On the other hand, a fully grown lion would be able to scare a young ox even from afar, which was a close example to what was happening now…
"Like I already said, no bluffing, or else, I wouldn"t mind giving prying your mind open a try. So you better cough up the information fast or I would gladly turn you into a practice target. I"m pretty sure that once I"m done with you, begging for your life won"t be your biggest concern…"
Thanks to him being a very normal human at this point, it wasn"t hard for me to catch his mind fluctuations to tell whether he would be lying or not, I was only giving him a chance because I wanted my information to be more in detail and less blurry…
"Alr… Alright… I will ta… talk… Just remove this th… thing," the former demon said while struggling, seemingly unable to even stand up due to the "Domination" effect...
"That"s good then, speak," I said as I stopped my "Domination" effect"s testing for now…
"Hah… hah... You want to learn more about the "Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice"?" slightly catching his breath, the sprout human fell down on the ground as he looked at me and asked.
"Yes, that"s not all I need to know, but we will start from there…" I said to him as I went down and sat in a cross legged position as well, after all, since he was also sitting down, there was no need for me to stand during this Q & A session that was likely to last for quite a bit more than a few minutes…
"As you wish, if you want to know more about that, I will need to start with the main protagonist of this ability, the Demon Sovereign!" slightly shuddering in fear, the sprout human explained.
"I do not know much about it since I was only a sub-demon species that wasn"t given access to the full information network, but from the little information that I managed to sneak around, the Demon Sovereign is supposed to be some sort of an overlord or even a G.o.d in the eyes of the demons…"
"Is this supposed to be their "Sacred" leader…?"
Remembering the way the demons acted as if they were some sort of a group that was seeking to bring salvation and spread their "Sacred" corruption around the world, it was only natural for something or someone like this "Demon Sovereign" to be at the center of this… Pyramid Scheme?
"The point is, while I don"t really know where he is, what is he supposed to be or what kind of power he possesses, I was able to confirm that this "Demon Sovereign" truly exists!"
"So the head of this corruption scheme actually exists…? He doesn"t seem to be lying either…"
"The power of the demons that I myself used which is situated in the demonic blood and the demonic core is said to be just a spec of the Demon Sovereign"s power that we borrowed, but this seems to be just as exaggerated rumor, the only thing I know for sure is that there is indeed a connection between the demonic powers and this "Demon Sovereign"..."
"It seems that my information is indeed lacking…"
Back in the Light Domain, and thanks to our successful ambush of the Light Empire which was the main demons" base above ground, we were able to find a lot of useful information, but listening to the sprout human, I found that it was actually very shallow with nothing but useless fillers…
"But how is this related to the "Sacrifice"...?"
