Chapter 88: Erot, The Reaper Demon!

"ANYWAY! I'll explain later, Sabrina. Faunia, tell us. Who is this Erot? For you to act like that, Erot must not be someone ordinary."

"Ordinary? Human... gods, and goddesses were never ordinary in the first place! Their powers exceed beyond your imagination. And even us, ourselves, needed to take precaution whenever there is a presence of the same level as ours or greater. Else, you wouldn't know if you'll have another meal in your life!" Faunia explained like a child telling stories. Sabrina finds it like a girl telling her experiences in school for that day.

"???" Pedro frowned as he stares at Faunia in confusion.

"Tch... For you to understand. Remember your eyes!"

'His eyes?' Sabrina glanced at Pedro wondering what is unusual with his eyes.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"No one would imagine that those preserved eyes of the Demon King Varxatos would give a human a power able to kill a goddess! Do you now understand?"

"I somehow have the gist of it. I'll take precautions next time."

"That's reassuring. I can't let you die unless I find a suitable inhe~AHEM!" Faunia faked a cough as soon as Pedro smiled and finger pointed to himself, the moment he heard the line that Faunia was looking for something.

"Hahahaha! I was just joking!"

"Heh! In any case, Erot was a former god of war. I only heard rumors from my master that He became so obsessed with wars and fights to the point that it became the reason for his exile!"

"fights?"

"Yes. It was said that one time, he had a practice fight with another god. Unfortunately, his enemy lost consciousness after receiving one punch from him. Erot was annoyed and felt like he was being mocked. Hence, instead of stopping the fight, he continued to punch that god to death."

"That incident made him a bad guy and later on was considered a demon?"

"On point, human! My master told that that move to exile Erot was one of the worst decisions made by the gods and goddesses. My master said that Erot became one of the most notorious demons in history with a kill count of gods and goddesses, only ranking third from Varxatos. Hence, getting the title The Reaper Demon!"

"Hah... So troublesome!" Pedro rubbed his forehead as if someone with big trouble.

"It is. So?!"

"So?"

"What will you do with that, Human?" Faunia pointed to the pair of black eyeballs in the center table.

"I am still not decided. However..."

"However? Speak your mind, human."

"Faunia... Do you happen to know if we can combine two eyeballs from different 'Demons'?"

"Huh?"

"I see... Judging from your response, It is not possible!" Pedro became a bit disappointed after knowing that even from a goddess, like Faunia, two 'Gods' Eyes' can't be merged!

"What are you saying, human? Would you mind thinking before you ask!" Faunia became annoyed as she looks like a girl lecturing his father's mistakes.

"Eh..."

"You can't combine it, of course! Where did you see someone with four eyeballs? But, that doesn't mean that they won't get stronger. At the least, they can develop depending on how you use them. For example, It was said that Erot was a former god of war hence his eyes were all good with fighting stuff like determining weak points of the enemy in one look. If one uses his eyes in fights, who knows, it might get stronger."

"Then, from what I know... his eyes should be red. Why is it in black?"

"Tch... I told you! Even if my master didn't tell me about it, do you think a former god of war would be that dumb to charge straight on like those mad demons? No! He would be caught up by the other gods and get killed before he can kill that many. Never... Underestimate gods and goddesses. Even I am not confident to face sister Laraya, what more Erot."

"I guess... We can just rest easy for now. These demons are nowhere near us at the moment!" Pedro wore a relieved expression as the Pen-Knife slid down through Pedro's sleeve. Sabrina, who was silently listening to Pedro and Faunia, frowned the moment they finished their conversation.

'Even with my instincts... I wasn't fast enough to react!' Sabrina's hands were held by Faunia who suddenly appeared in front of her. Sabrina's hands were inside her inventory bag. Her hands were tightly grasping a Pen-Knife.

"What's the meaning of this Pe~Pedro? What is she doing?" Sabrina tried to struggle from Faunia's grasp but it was of no help.

Pedro seemed like he didn't hear Sabrina. Sabrina was speechless, but she wasn't the type of woman who would give up easily and panic on such conditions. She calmed herself while scanning around and thinking of what to do to escape Faunia.

"Ah..." Sabrina stared at Faunia full of killing intent as she smirked mischievously. On the next second, Sabrina slightly sent her head backward to gain momentum. Then, with full force, she sent her head straight to Faunia's face.

'Ehh... Not bad!' Faunia dodged sideways, making her grip on Sabrina's Left hand to loose for a bit. Sabrina took this chance to pull her left hand, with full force, out of her inventory bag. Sabrina quickly rotated her wrist, while Faunia's grip was still loose so that she can cut Faunia's hand.

Clank!

The Pen-Knife of Sabrina was stuck and wasn't even able to penetrate Faunia's skin.

"What?"

"You don't learn. Do you?!" Faunia's skin transformed into her dragon skin.

"This..." Hopeless, Sabrina could only stare at the lizard-like look of Faunia. Faunia's grip suddenly tightened that made Sabrina drop the Pen-Knife in her hands.

"Relax! Faunia. That's enough of a proof for you?"

"Wha~What proof?!" Sabrina shouted in pain as Faunia releases her grip on Sabrina's arms.

"Proof... That you are worthy enough to be entrusted of a great power beyond what you can imagine!" Pedro smirked as he held Erot's eyeballs in his hands. (Faunia opened the sealed case for him, a while ago. Pedro is still level 1 so... He can't do anything with the seals of the containers.)

"What are you saying?" Sabrina was still confused about what Pedro meant. However, She trusted Pedro hence she didn't run anymore.

"You'll know! Faunia, please do the honor!" Pedro handed over Erot's eyes to Faunia.

"Wha~What are you going to do?!"

"Relax and trust me. Close your eyes. It would be quick... and it won't hurt! I promise!" Pedro smiled as he held Sabrina's hand. Sabrina was blushed and can only do as Pedro says.

"Aaaaaah!"

Sabrina felt a slight pain as if she had sore eyes. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the calm Pedro and anticipating Faunia. She looked left and right as if nothing happened. When her eyes landed at her interface, she had a new notification.

"Eh?"

[Congratulations! You have activated Demon Erot Enhancement!]

[Demon Erot Legacy Enhancement, Completed!]

The Demon Erot was long subjugated and killed. He was the demon well-known as the Reaper Demon. He was formerly the god of war. However, after some instances, he was exiled and considered as a Demon. Erot felt that the incident was somehow a plot against him since at that time, he was considered as one of the strongest gods.

Hatred and thirst for revenge filled his heart as he felt that the ones he protected with his life, stabbed him in the back. Due to his top-notch strength, experience and wit as a god of war, He slew the gods whom he suspected of turning their backs against him. To the point that he went into a killing spree. Where even the gods who were not related to his incident were not spared.

On the demon side, even the seven demon governors didn't dare underestimate him due to two reasons. First, he was a former enemy that gave them so much trouble, that even lead to the death of many demons. Second, He was even more powerful when he was a demon than he was when he was still a god. He was killed when the strongest gods during that era, cornered him. Though he was killed, He was able to bring with him to the afterlife two of the ten gods that entrapped him.
