Luck is a Charm

Daemon Kaiso's asshole was being roasted by the essence flame and the clothes that cover his part have already been exposed.

The white and shiny ass has now turned bright red, almost like a baboon animal.

"Ahh, Krista, hurry up and close your eyes otherwise Daemon Kaiso might charge us money for spectating a baboon without paying," Zen exclaimed and tried to cover Krista Dragoon's eye.

Meanwhile, Daemon Kaiso truly wanted to rip his skin off for taunting him when he was still feeling the burn churning inside.

As Daemon Kaiso continued to cast some healing magic in his ass, Zen wasn't dozing off either. Using the time that Daemon Kaiso is occupied now, he went toward the four Cerberus with Krista Dragoon to finish them off.

Within a few moments, Zen and Krista Dragoon multi-cast javelins that fired toward the Cerberus and added with the acid shot from the worker slimes, the Cerberus soon fall after one another.

When Daemon Kaiso witnessed his precious summon being easily annihilated, his heart felt like it's been stabbed with a knife that continued to twist around, causing more pain.

"Sigh, poor Daemon Kaiso, losing not only his son but also his summoned now." Zen heaved a sigh, causing Daemon Kaiso's face to turn purple as he couldn't handle it anymore.

'Just how hard is it to kill a snotty little brat.' Daemon Kaiso roared inwardly as he finally got rid of the tiny essence flame in his asshole.

Zen didn't even bother with him anymore as he asked Krista Dragoon to stall him for a little longer.

After all, he wasn't done with receiving the amazing gift that Daemon Kaiso gave him. 

'Please don't fail me now Hymn of Death,' Zen prayed inwardly as he walked forward to the four Cerberus corpses and closed his eyes to chant the spell.

He needs to be fully concentrated in this process to make sure he would get at least 2/4 Cerberus added to his shadow.

Meanwhile, Daemon Kaiso was dumbfounded by the action of Zen before recalling the grimoire from the auction house.

'It can't be… he actually learned the Hymn of Death.' Daemon Kaiso turned pale when he finally understood Zen's meaning of him being a generous man.

No, he cannot allow Zen to label him as a sarcastic generous man. Even if he must risk it all, he would never allow Zen to gain more power.

"RARGH"

Daemon Kaiso shouted and his arms started extending with his leg becoming thicker. His black eye has also turned scarlet red with two horns starting popping out from his forehead.

The transformation was shocking that Krista Dragoon became speechless.

"What a crazy old man. Turning yourself into a demon just to get rid of us." Krista Dragoon sneered as she shook her head at his miserable fate.

Once a man who could have enjoyed a lifetime of glory has now become a human depraved into a demon due to his lust for greed.

"KARADAH!" 

Daemon Kaiso roared with weird language. His conscience is no longer intact and is fully a demon without any knowledge of the human language.

At this time, Zen walked up to Krista Dragoon in a happy mood before raising his eyebrow in surprise at Daemon Kaiso who is unrecognizable.

"What the fuck happened to him?" Zen said in confusion since he missed the transformation process due to his concentration on resurrecting the Cerberus.

"Daemon Kaiso turned himself into a demon and now his raw power is immense. We must be cautious about fighting head-on with him but we can still kill him with strategy." Krista Dragoon said softly and continued.

"What about the Cerberus corpses? I thought you were trying to resurrect them."

"Oh, the Cerberus process was a success. I only failed one but got three Cerberus in return so I'm pretty happy now." Zen laughed heartily.

Krista Dragoon was speechless about his luck in always succeeding at something seemingly impossible. However, she couldn't tease him since Daemon Kaiso had already begun his attack.

With Daemon Kaiso's hand turning into sharp claws, he lunged forward and opened his sharp claws to try and slash them into pieces.

Zen squinted his eyes as he hurriedly ordered Cerberus to retaliate. The Cerberus didn't waste any time as it lunged forward, clashing with Daemon Kaiso's demon.

BOOOOOOM!

Daemon Kaiso's claws were so sharp and durable that they hacked Cerberus into halves as he continued to advance toward Zen.

"Okay, so his raw power is a cheat now," Zen exclaimed as he started calling all of his shadows to appear.

Since Daemon Kaiso can no longer think properly, there was no point in hiding his trump cards since the fight is at its finale.

With one chant, the area was completely filled with Zen's shadow army but Daemon Kaiso didn't bother nor flinched even a little bit as it continued to hack and slash everything in its path.

The shadows were unable to take one hit from Daemon Kaiso as it dissipated slowly before Zen regenerates them with his mana.

Time slowly passed and Zen knew at this rate, he would lose out due to lack of mana in supplying the shadows.

"Any genius ideas Krista, Leila?" Zen turned his head around to glance at the two princesses since he had no idea how to fight against a demon.

It was his first time facing one and Daemon Kaiso's appearance was truly terrifying and disgusting at the same time.

"We have to find his core and shatter it in order to kill the demon." Krista Dragoon said with a dejected look before continuing.

"However, I'm not sure if Daemon Kaiso has a core since he was originally a human. We can try to use our magic sense to feel the aura of his core but with the current situation now, it's extremely hard to locate it."

Zen turned solemn and nodded his head in understanding. Daemon Kaiso was constantly moving around, causing the mana flow to be in multiple directions so trying to sense his core is akin to finding a needle in an ocean.

"This is not what I expected at all!"

Zen sighed as he ordered his shadow to continue to block him while trying to use them to sense Daemon Kaiso's core.

At the same time, he pondered what's the best way to sense his core in these circumstances.

"You can use Jared Kaiso who has a blood connection with Daemon Kaiso. Although he turned into a demon, that does not mean his bloodline is altered." While Zen was helpless, Cecilia's voice transmitted to his mind.

Zen's expression immediately brightens up. Sending a mental transmission to her, Zen asked, "Cecilia, you have successfully broken through the restriction?"

"If I hadn't broken through it, would you have been able to hear my voice, idiots?" Cecilia snorted in reply, almost like she was enraged to be restricted in the tiny world when she was a Sovereign in the past.

Zen scratched his head lightly in embarrassment, causing Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon to look at him suspiciously. However, they didn't say anything else before returning their attention to Daemon Kaiso who is casually demolishing every shadow that advanced forward.

"So how do we use Jared Kaiso to sense his core?" Zen asked calmly since he became more confident with Cecilia's help.

Without Cecilia, it was like he lost the light that guided him into a correct path because he has relied on her ever since her appearance. 

"I'm going to fling him out and Daemon Kaiso would definitely react even if his conscience is gone. A blood connection is more profound than you can possibly think of." Cecilia replied softly before throwing Jared Kaiso out from her mysterious space.

PLOP!

Jared Kaiso landed on the ground with a barely recognizable face which clearly showed he had been punched in that area repeatedly.

'Damn, he became a punching bag for Cecilia. But why is Cecilia so angry to beat him up this harshly?' Zen exclaimed inwardly when he saw the condition of Jared Kaiso.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon were shocked to see Jared Kaiso appear out of nowhere. There was no fluctuation of mana or usage of a magic spell so they were completely clueless besides looking at Zen in confusion.

Zen merely shrugged his shoulders in reply without any intention of clarifying things for them. 

The mysterious space wasn't him but belonged to Cecilia and without her permission, he would not reveal this secret to anyone else.

"RARGH!

Daemon Kaiso roared as he killed the final shadows from Zen's army and it was because Zen no longer supplies them with mana since he has finished stalling Daemon Kaiso.

As Daemon Kaiso tried to lunge forward to strike at Zen, he became dumbfounded when Zen killed Jared Kaiso into him.

Daemon Kaiso without hesitation raised his ravenous claws to try and split into halves before halting when his bloodline became agitated, causing his movement to be shaky.

The claws barely missed Jared Kaiso who was completely unconscious due to the injuries in his body but that didn't prevent Daemon Kaiso from holding him tightly as he stared at him deeply.

'Success,' Zen said inwardly as he hurriedly closed his eyes to use his magic sense to detect the location of his core.
