Chapter 553 - 553: Relic
Hun knocked on the door of the small house. The door opened not long after the knock.
The person who had opened the door looked like a human that was so short that it even amused Lucifer.
The man was only two feet tall, not even coming to his waist. He had two big ears like the ears of an elephant and two eyes on each side of his face.
The man was stunned to see Hun. It was the first time a High Beast had come to meet him.
"Young Master, what brought you here? If you wanted, you should've just called for me. I would've been there?!" The little guy said respectfully.
"There's no need Gon. It would've just wasted time. Anyway, we are here because my friend wanted to meet you and ask you a few questions. It would be great if you could answer him honestly." Hun stepped aside, revealing Lucifer and the others.
"F-five?" Gon exclaimed. He was already stunned at the thought of Hun knowing his name, but to see that there were actually five High Beasts standing before his house, he grew overwhelmed.
"Are we allowed to come in, or do you want to talk here?" Hun asked.
"Ah, please come inside." Gon stepped back and allowed some free space for the others to enter.
He hastily ran to get some chairs and arranged them in a proper manner for the guests.
As he only had five chairs in the house, he personally sat on the ground.
Hun and the others took seats.
"So, how can I help?" Gon asked.
Hun looked at Lucifer, gesturing for him to ask whatever he wanted to.
"So, Gon. I am really interested in summoning. And I heard that you are often summoned to other world. That's what I want to know about. What is that world like where you go to? And how often are you called there?' Lucifer asked, taking the lead.
"That world? I-i can't answer that because I don't remember. It's something really complicated. The only thing I know is that I forget about this world when I'm there and remember all the past summons to that world."
"However, when I'm here, I forget everything related to that world and remember everything about this world. So I can't answer that question. I don't know anything about that world. However, I do know how often I am summoned."
"There's no set pattern, but from what I know, I am summoned a few times every week. During some weeks, I'm summoned tens of times. And the other week, I'm Summoned only a few times. The only thing I know is that there hasn't been a week in which I wasn't Summoned."
After explaining, Ron looked at Lucifer, wondering if that guy was satisfied by the answer.
"So you don't know anything about that world," Lucifer muttered, frowning. That was something he didn't want to happen because it meant he couldn't make sure if the world this guy was summoned to was earth or not.
He wondered if there was another method he could use to make sure that the world was indeed earth or not?
He lost himself in deep thought as he tried to think of something. The silence was scary for Gon, who didn't want to offend a High Beast. However, there was nothing he could do since he didn't remember.
"I-i do have something related to that world. If you're interested, I can show you?" Gon suddenly let out, trying to do whatever he could to keep these guys happy. Since they were interested in other worlds, he could use that to survive.
"Something related to that world?" Lucifer raised his gaze.
"T-that's right. After I came back last time, I realized that I had something in my hand. It wasn't there when I was Summoned. So even though I don't know what happened after I was summoned, one thing I can be sure of was that I did bring something back from that world."
"Show me what it is," Lucifer said. This was perfect. If it was something that could be found on earth, it could signal that he was in the right place. It was better than nothing.
Even Hun was intrigued. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing. An object from the other world? Even he was intrigued.
"I will be right back!" Gon stood up and ran in haste, using his short feet.
He ran to his bedroom where a suitcase was lying in the corner. He opened the briefcase. He could feel his heart hearing heavily as he was still so overwhelmed and scared for his life.
He picked an item from the suitcase and ran back.
He stopped before Lucifer and showed the item. "This is it!"
"That's it?" Lucifer muttered, frowning. He could only see a small piece of metal in the hand of Gon. "Let me see from close."
He took the sharp piece of metal from Gon and observed it.
"It looks like a piece of Sword," Salazar pointed out, seeing the shape of the piece of metal.
"Yeah. It's just as sharp," Lucifer muttered. "It was certainly from a sword. There was probably a battle with a swordsman. He must have picked up the broken Sword piece before he was sent back."
Even though this piece of sword looked similar to the swords on earth, it wasn't something that could prove that he was summoned to earth. Sword was something that could be used by other worlds as well. Even after all that, he was back to square one.
As he turned the other face of the metal piece, he saw a logo carved on the blade of the Sword.
"A trident?"
He noticed that a trident was carved on the other end of the sword. "Was it a piece of a trident instead? It doesn't look like that, but it's possible as well."
"Can I see?" Salazar asked.
Lucifer handed the piece to Salazar.
"That's indeed a trident. Moreover, the shape is really fascinating. I don't think this trident would be from there, but we can't deny the possibility either."
Jenilia also observed the carved trident. She looked slightly weird as she saw the symbol. She reached out her hand and took the sword piece.
She observed it even more carefully. "I think I saw that before...!"
"You did? It's from earth?" Salazar asked. If it were the case, it would have been great. That meant they found a way back! This guy could lead them back to their world!
Hun looked at the three youngsters confused. What earth? He couldn't understand a single thing they were talking about. Why did it look like they knew something about this other world?
"Where did you see it?" Lucifer asked.
