Chapter 635 - SCUM FATHER
[GO to island of Achaeus and get Beelzebub's body. Once the archdemon of gluttony returns in his full glory, this side task will be done. You might even receive a generous gift from Beelzebub.]
[You're almost at the last leg of this hidden task – 'Awakening Dragon'. Once you finished this side task, you'll be done. Good luck, dear players! Don't worry, there are good rewards waiting for you.]
Once the milky voice of the Gamekeeper disappeared, Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun and the other also did the same. Shen Ji Yun nodded at him, the meaning in his eyes was obvious. Whatever he decided to do, he would follow. So, Luo Yan could only smile helplessly.
Really, once the two of them became an official couple, the chances of them fighting were very low. Because this guy would just give in to everything he wanted.. If he was just a little bit bad-hearted, he might end up ruining this guy.
Good thing he had always believed in equality when it came to relationship. Besides, he might not be a purely innocent person with a heart of gold, but he was confident that he would never take advantage of people he cared about. He only does that to people who deserved it.
Anyway, this hidden task. Truthfully, Luo Yan didn't want to do it. He didn't want to do anything that could make this archdemon feel better. But this 'deal' that the other proposed suddenly became a side task. If they didn't agree to do it, the game might consider their hidden task was incomplete. And the Gamekeeper did say that this was the last leg of the hidden task. After they did this, this task would finally be finished.
He looked at the archdemon in front of them. Although, he had no choice but to agree, that didn't mean he would make it easy and comfortable for this archdemon.
"How could we be certain that you would fulfill your end of the deal?" he asked.
"As I've said already, I will do anything for Alina. Getting my body is, first and foremost, for her. So, you don't have to worry that I will not do my end of the deal."
The deal the other mentioned was them taking his body from Achaeus and him helping Dusk get his memories back. In a sense, once this deal was achieved, they would really fulfill the requirements to finish the hidden task.
But truthfully, he didn't want Beelzebub to meet Dusk if possible. This bastard just didn't give off a fatherly vibe. He might just hurt the already emotionally wounded dragon. After all, even if Dusk grew up without parents, there was probably still a little hope in his heart that if they were alive, they would love him.
But this archdemon obviously didn't. His only concern was Alina. The female dragon might be different and have some motherly love for Dusk. But the fact that she fell in love with this archdemon and even made a baby with him showed just how much she lacked sense. Letting her meet Dusk might do more harm than good.
Luo Yan wasn't really that attached towards Dusk the same way he was with Eclipse. But after knowing that Shen Ji Yun was probably seeing some parallels with his own to situation to that of the dragon, he couldn't help but care.
"Why do you need our help in getting your body back?" he thought of asking. "Can't you just traipse there on your own and take it?"
"If I could, I wouldn't be making this deal," the archdemon said with a bit of sarcastic tone in his voice.
They didn't hear a more detailed explanation which only irritated Luo Yan. He took a deep breath and just told himself to calm down.
"How will you help our friend regain back his memories?" he asked, talking about Dusk. It's better to just talk about that. But the moment he asked that question, he suddenly realized something. "How did you know that he lost his memories? Are you the one responsible for that?"
"Yes," the archdemon didn't deny it. "You could say that I 'ate' it. It's one of my abilities as the archdemon of gluttony. But I don't want to go into details about that. Just know that I could return his memories back to him."
This ability… Luo Yan had a feeling that this guy could probably eat anything. That would actually explain how he could control the body of the dark mage he was currently inhabiting.
The other did say that the dark mage was in some kind of master-servant contract with the Dark Saint. If he could go around that, maybe he had slowly 'eaten' that contract until he could have control to this extent. But one could also see that the contract must be very strong. Because it took him so many years just to reach this level of control over the body. While it probably only took a minute to 'eat' Dusk's memories.
That most likely had something to do with the fact that there were no restrictions on Dusk's memories. Therefore, it was much easier for the weaken archdemon to 'eat'.
But that's not really the main point right now.
"Why did you do it? Was there really a need for you to 'eat' his memories?" he asked.
"I was planning to let him meet Alina once she was fully healed. I took away his memories because I want him to meet his mother without all the hatred in his heart. That way, he wouldn't hurt Alina."
Man, this bastard was really selfish. All he could think of was Alina this and Alina that. He never once considered Dusk. What a scum of a father. Luo Yan was really closed to punching this guy.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself.
"We will do this deal. But I have conditions," he said.
The archdemon showed an almost imperceptible frown. "Returning the kid's memories is not enough?"
"Of course not. Didn't you say that Alina is the most important thing to you? Then, you must also be willing to do anything to get her back to normal. Am I right?" Luo Yan then smiled sweetly at the archdemon. "Or was all that just lip service and your so-called love only amounted to this much?"
