Chapter 193: 193: Impending Threats

"No," he responded and evilly smiled-- "Let's pissed off some Gods instead."

The proud magician stared at the grinning wizard and sneered.

"... Heh. That sounds tempting," he replied and quickly added-- "But I'm busy." Dousing Merlin's excitement.

"Ohh? What? Babysitting some mortals as well?" Merlin teased, throwing back what he said to him earlier.

"That's right so go away," and ignored him again.

"Then let me help you!"

"I can manage just fine."

"I'm offering my services for free."

Janus was already losing his patience. His days had been so peaceful… And this man is ruining it right now.

"Merlin, just go and pissed off my other self instead," he huffed.

"Your other self--" Merlin pressed his mouth close and stared at the lazing magician-- "Where is it?"

He's not going to ask what he means by that anymore. But there was an inkling at the back of his mind already.

'Did he perhaps learn another crazy magic again?'

Janus readily answered.

"Velaris."

"There's no way I'm going there!" Merlin protested.

Velaris…

That place is where the ancient… the most ancient beings live.

The Primordials.

'His other self is in Velaris? What the hell…'

Merlin may be the most powerful wizard alive but compared to the primordials… the peak of what immortals are…

'Agh! This crazy magician and his tricks!'

"Then fvck off," Janus spat out-- "Go back to babysitting Austin."

"It's Arthur. And I'm staying here."

"I'm not going to treat you like a guest."

"That's fine. I can treat myself like that."

"Tch," Janus finally gave up-- "Suit yourself."

He was originally planning to stay out of boredom but now, he just wants to pester him as much. Just because his so-called other self is in the Velaris doing God knows what.

"What do you even do there?!" He couldn't help but ask. His curiosity gets the better of him.

"Hmm? Are you curious?" And when he nodded, Janus smirked-- "Then go see it yourself,"

Merlin shut his mouth and narrowed his eyes on him, cursing him a thousand times inside his head.

"But this is truly surprising. For you to let one of the demons roam free around here…" he then commented after a while, burying himself further into the couch.

"You mean Haagenti?" Janus scoffed-- "That fiend is currently rebelling against me but let him be for now…"

The time will come and he will surely teach him a lesson for disobeying him. 

'How dare that demon act against him and my mistress?'

"Haagenti? No, I meant another demon. Though I don't know if it's really one of yours…" Merlin remarked.

Janus turned towards him with a frown.

"What do you mean by that?"

" Well, before coming here, I explored this world first and avoided all your hex, of course. I don't want you to come and ruin my fun," Merlin proudly replied-- "And that's when I felt the presence of a very powerful demon… I thought you sent them here or something."

"... Them…"

"That's right. There was a loooot of them," emphasized Merlin-- "I was thinking, 'Damn, what is this idiot planning to do now? Is he trying to throw this world into chaos or something?' But that would be against your principle. I mean, you don't even let them go near humans without your perusal. So I shrugged it off even though I was having literal shivers." 

Merlin then noticed the look on Janus's face as he blabbered on-- "Wait, why do you look so serious? Perhaps… you didn't know?" he muttered in incredulity.

'Did I miss something? Why didn't I know about this…'

At that moment, he immediately activated one spell that swept over the lands, gathering information in an instant. But he didn't notice any demonic presence aside from those whom he had already discovered, making him more puzzled.

He stared at Merlin, studying him and seeing if he's lying right now. But however childish he might be, Merlin won't ever spout a huge lie like that. Plus he would always determine the truth anyway so it's useless to lie to him.

If what Merlin said was true, that there is really a huge gathering of demons he is not aware of, then this is a serious matter.

Demons shouldn't be freely roaming around humans without his knowledge. He had already told the devils this. After all, these demons are under their leadership and they are responsible for these fiend's actions.

He thought of the possibility of the other devils rebelling, just like what happened to Haagenti. He then came upon the process of elimination, weighing who is likely to do just that. Merlin said the presence he sensed was that of a very powerful demon…

"Merlin, how powerful is this demon?"

"Mmm? Probably… hmmm…" he was combing through his memories and snapped-- "Ah! As powerful as that demon who likes to seduce people. You know, one of the seven princes of hell…"

"Seduce-- You mean Asmodeus," he affirmed.

"Yes," he said and shrugged his shoulders-- "I know his name but I can't just go around saying a demon's name, can I?"

'So one of the Magia Regis Kings? But these devils are currently busy with their own tasks…'

And there is just no way that a king of magic would rebel. That would be idiotic. He's confident in that fact because just like him, these kings recognize one absolute master aside from him. They might be under his thumb but he knows these proud demons don't entirely accept him as a master. The hate is present and he gives zero fvcks about it because, at the end of the day, these devils are all under his control. He rules over them.

It's true that they are likely to rebel against him and would do so if given even the slightest chance. But because of the mistress, their mea domina, this chance is close to null.

Not one of them is foolish enough to disobey her or challenged her.

'Does my mistress know-- wait, of course, she would. Even so, I should go and tell her…'

"I'm leaving," he said and stood up from the hammock. He then threw Merlin a pointed glare-- "Don't do anything stupid inside my tower while I'm gone."

"Hey, where are you going? Is there a problem?" Merlin sat up from the couch as he watched him grab a coat from the rack before shrugging it on.

"It's none of your business…" Janus icily retorted and immediately teleported out of there.

Merlin stared at the place where his friend disappeared, all the while pouting.

"Meanie…"
