Chapter 49: Demon Realm

Ryder walked up to the man while he kept his eyes on the objects in front of him.

There were a few interesting things there, like a small crystal ball, a few strange coins, and a few scrolls along with some books.

"Excuse me, sir," He called out since the man in front of him was looking down.

"Yeesh," The person raised his head as he answered in a creepy voice.

Ryder couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw the man.

The man looked like he had come straight out of a horror movie.

There was no skin on his face. It felt like someone had taken off the skin from his face. There were no eyelids as well. Just two eyeballs that were looking at him.

'Come-on man. It's not real. Be brave,' Ryder tried to gather his courage and not be scared of the person that was in front of him.

He stood firmly at his place as he looked straight at the person in front of him.

"Ah, sir. Can you tell me where I am right now?" Ryder asked the person politely.

"10 blood coins," The person replied.

"Ah, What?" Ryder was confused as to what the man was talking about.

"Give me 10 blood coins to get your answer." The man said.

"What are blood coins?" Ryder asked with a perplexed look on his face.

Before today, he hadn't heard of this term at all. The currency of the game was gold coins, after all. 

'What the heck is going on right now? Is this some secret zone of Divinity with different rules?' He asked with a confused look on his face.

"10 blood coins for answers." The man repeated the same statement.

"Geez, man, I told you that I don't have blood coins. All I need are simple answers." He said to the man, but the man only repeated his same statement.

Ryder finally gave up and started leaving. He didn't have time to waste on the baseless argument.

"Wait!" The man called out to Ryder as he saw him leave.

Ryder turned back as he looked at the person.

"Give me something important in exchange, and I'll give you your answer." The person said.

'Something in exchange for the answer? What can I give him? All I have is the scythe and that old sword.' Ryder thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, he decided that the sword wasn't of use to him since he had the Moon Scythe.

He brought out the sword he received from the Sword Elder and gave it to the strange person.

The guy held the sword in his hand as he observed it carefully.

He finally nodded his head as he placed the Sword on the carpet in front of him.

"Ask your questions." He said.

"Alright, My first question is, where am I? What is this place?" Ryder asked.

"This is the Demon Realm." The man replied.

'Demon Realm? There shouldn't be a place like this, but the name did match with the class of Salem. He was a 'Demon Monarch.' So there's a high possibility he was from here.' Ryder thought.

"Do you know any Demon Monarch? His name should be Salem." Ryder asked further.

"Aaaaaaaa..." The person roared like mad as he heard the name.

"How dare you disrespect our missing ruler and call him by his name?" The person let out with a crazy look on his face.

His blood was boiling as his body kept getting bigger until it was twice the size it previously had. There were two horns on his head that weren't there before. 

He looked entirely different; the only thing that was still the same was that his face still had no skin.

"I'll punish you for such disrespect!" The giant called out loudly as he ran towards Ryder.

Ryder hurriedly reacted as he brought out the Moon Scythe from his storage.

He got in a proper stance as he held the Moon Scythe with both his hands and got ready to swing.

As soon as the giant was closer to him, he swung his Moon Scythe with full strength.

The sharp blade of Moon Scythe cut the giant in half. The giant's separated body fell to the ground.

Even when he died, he couldn't believe it. The body of the giant was lying on the ground, and his eyes were still open.

[Killed a Banished Demon]

[+1000 experience points]

[+1 Level]

[Gained the title Demon Slayer]

Notifications kept sounding one after another.

What Ryder found the strangest was the blood of the person. It wasn't red like monsters or humans. It was green.

"This sure is different." He muttered to himself.

He walked towards the carpet and picked all the items, and placed them inside his storage.

He did manage to find 3 blood red coins as well.

'These are the blood coins he talked about?' He thought as he observed the coin.

"Sigh, I couldn't even get my answers,' Ryder sighed in disappointment.

"At Least I found out that I'm at the right place. Salem was the missing ruler. Wonder what happened that killed him." Ryder muttered to himself.

He chose a random direction and started walking. He needed to find a town or something to gain more information.

He was quite disappointed, though. He was starting to regret accepting the request of Salem. If he hadn't accepted the request, he wouldn't be here. With the knowledge of his past, he would have easily become one of the top players.

"I just had to be greedy and take this Moon Scythe," He wanted to curse himself for his stupidity.

"I still can't help but wonder why Lucifer didn't get the Quest of Salem although he got the Moon Scythe in the previous timeline? Is this related to the stat combination or something? There are not many who balance strength and intelligence, after all. If I remember correctly, Lucifer had high intelligence and really low strength at the beginning." He muttered to himself.

He walked for 2 hours before finally, he was able to see a few buildings.
