Chapter 392: 392

Chapter 392

As soon as Joshua was finished dealing with Aden von Agnus, the first place he went running to was the Magnificent Flower Palace. He postponed everything else. Clearing his name? He didn’t care if he was condemned for high treason for assassinating the Emperor, as long as he could protect his own people.

Joshua flinched.

“Don’t move, Joshua Sanders.”

Joshua looked up ahead and saw Marco, Heimdall’s third apostle. Judging from the big bags under his eyes, it seemed Marco had stayed up all night.

“If you’re here... then it must mean Heimdall lost.”

“Sersiarin...” Joshua muttered.

The princess was no longer in her sickbed nor did she look ill. She was just trapped inside the five-meter-tall black crystal.

“At first, it was the size of my fist. I didn’t know the crystal had such power. I already tested its hardness, but I wasn’t able to leave a scratch on me even though I hit it with all of my aura. Above all...” The moment Marco touched the surface of the black crystal, black sparks flew everywhere. “Did you see that? They’re sparks of demonic power. The Demon Spirit said that this is part of his heart.”

“His heart...?” Joshua blankly repeated.

There was no way gods had a similar organ system to a human, so the crystal must be just a symbol.

“His heart has one ability, and that is turning anyone inside the crystal into a demon within one hundred days,” Marco said.

“What...?”

“The Princess must be in a lot of pain right now, but, well, it’ll be better than spending the rest of her life in a sickbed. She’ll obtain a stronger body and live in this world with her eyes wide open.”

Marcos covered his sword with his aura and swung it against the crystal to show Joshua. Just as expected, there wasn’t a single scratch left on the black crystal.

“It’s unbreakable. Even if you manage to break it somehow, the Princess will die the moment the external shock affects the Demon Spirit’s heart since that is the only thing that is keeping her alive.”

Joshua frowned. “...This is what Heimdall wanted? This is the insurance you’ve all been talking about?”

Marco nodded. “Because of the Fourth Prince Kaiser ben Britten, all members of the Imperial Family are suspected of being involved with the undead. So yes, if the story of the Brtittens being connected with demons would seriously affect them. It’ll be the end of their line.”

Joshua quietly examined the inside of the black crystal. Just like Marco had said, it was hard to think of Sersiarin as a human now. Her flawless white skin had turned black like a demon, her veins were bulging, and above all, something black was glued to Sersiarin’s chest, beating powerfully like a real heart. It looked disgusting, and its tentacles stretched all over her.NewW novels updates at novel35.com

‘...The moment that thing takes control of her body, she’ll be completely turned into a demon,’ Joshua instinctively realized.

“There is no way for you to save the Princess now. You lost, Joshua Sanders. Hehehehe.”

“...No.” Joshua shook his head. “Not exactly.”

“What?”

“Before I do that...” Joshua trailed off.

Marco’s eyes widened as Joshua released an enormous amount of power in front of him. The shockwave made the sky and the ground tremble.

“Get out my way now,” Joshua said.

“I’ll gladly take it.”

Joshua was going to devour the Demon Spirit’s heart. Once he took the heart, he would turn into a demon in a hundred days at the latest. Although Joshua wasn’t sure about his soul, his body was currently human, so he would turn into a demon with the Demon Spirit’s heart without a doubt. However, he still had to do it.

“With my ability... I’ll be able to increase the limit from a hundred days to ten years,” Joshua mumbled. He would find a way to fix it within ten years. It was nothing compared to what Sersiarin had done for him.

“Come,” Joshua said.

The moment the Demon Spirit’s heart beat, Joshua touched the heart and absorbed it without leaving a trace.

“Urghhh...”

It felt like Joshua’s brain was burning, but he endured the pain with everything he had.

* * *

After some time, Joshua found himself in a pitch-black space.

-You are truly an idiot.

Joshua slowly opened his eyes. He knew who that tinny, familiar voice was—he had experienced it from Lugia, the Demon Spirit’s spear.

“Demon Spirit,” Joshua mumbled.

-I can’t believe that you, the best battle ghost in both Angel and Demon Realms, would give me your body to save one human girl.

Joshua stood up—or tried. The moment he thought he stood up, the world spun around.

“Do you think you can take it?” Joshua asked.

-Are you talking big even in a situation like this? Hehehe, your destiny was already decided when you absorbed my heart into you.

“Well, no matter how hard I think, I feel like you won’t be able to take anything from me.”

-You’re arrogant until the end, Joshua. You won’t be able to regain consciousness for the next one hundred days and then your ego will disappear and you will become my new body. Hahahaha—

-What...!

The Demon Spirit’s voice trembled noticeably right after Joshua released his power.

“So who the hell decided that?” Joshua asked.

-Impossible! You took a god’s heart, so how can you still—!

“Didn’t I tell you?” Joshua held out his hand. He could feel something.

-What?! How can you see me—no, grab me?!

“You look like this, huh?” Joshua was holding a small demon with red skin and two tiny horns. The Demon Spirit, who was now the size of a hand, swayed from side to side in Joshua’s hands.

Joshua’s smile deepened. “I’ll find a way to wipe you out of existence within ten years.”
