Chapter 1029: On the Plate (Part 2)
Chapter 1029: On the Plate (Part 2)
‘Phew... That... That's good...’
Not realizing that the two sentences from Leon were literal, the Black Goat, who had already exhausted his quota of profanity, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, he earnestly spoke up:
‘You... You can rest assured! I will definitely work hard. Just tell me what you need me to do!’
‘Mm-hmm.’
Leon responded casually before slowly giving instructions:
‘I have something for you to do right now... Lie down.’
‘Oh...’
Following Leon’s command, the Black Goat lay down on the hard ground and asked:
‘Then what? What do I do next?’
‘There’s a basket of fruit over there... the ones that are pinkish-red and shiny. Do you see them?’
‘I see them. What next?’
‘Pick one up and put it in your mouth... Don't bite it, just hold it with your teeth. Yes, just like that!’
After directing the Black Goat to hold the red fruit and lie down with his limbs spread out, Leon nodded in satisfaction:
‘Alright, just pretend you’re dead and stay still in this position. That’s all I ask.’
‘Oh...’
Nodding in confusion, the Black Goat obediently lay flat on a large white plate... a large white plate?
Tapping the plate beneath him with his hoof, the Black Goat, who was lying there like a roasted whole goat with a red fruit in his mouth, suddenly sat up, spat out the fruit, and touched his face, screaming in panic:
‘No! How did I end up like this again? I thought I was... Did you change me back?’
‘This... I did it to save you.’
Seeing the Black Goat discover his manipulation, Leon, who had secretly transformed him back to the appearance of a Goat Demon, coughed dryly and said:
‘After those Succubi dragged you back while you were asleep, they started touching you all over, studying why you didn’t look like a goat. They even tried to pull down your pants to see if they could milk you.
To prevent your identity as a Ranger from being exposed and to avoid us being discovered too early, I slightly altered your appearance to match the other Goat Demons here...’
‘No! This won’t do!’
Seeing his form, which he had desperately tried to escape—the appearance of a weak race from the lowest strata of the Abyss—on the reflective plate, the Black Goat suppressed his fear of Leon and pounded the plate.
‘I don’t want this! I want the strongest, ugliest, most terrifying, most sinister, most grotesque face! One that can scare people half to death! You... You give me back my face!’
‘...’
The ugliest, most sinister, most grotesque, and most terrifying... Are you talking about my face?
After touching his own face and feeling the Black Goat’s angry and panicked emotions, Leon, understanding the situation, said:
‘So you’re not really like me by nature, but you were intentionally trying to resemble me when you were resurrected, right?’
‘...’
I knew it...
Having deliberately set up a “roasted whole goat” scene to provoke the Black Goat, Leon could sense the panic and resistance in its heart and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
It seems that, despite his carefree appearance, his days in the Abyss were probably not easy and left him with deep psychological scars... Well, that’s not surprising.
Recalling the information he obtained when he touched the Nest of Sinful Desires, and after a brief deduction about the Black Goat’s demonic life, Leon even felt a faint sense of sympathy for the Black Goat.
This guy had what could be called the most exceptional talent. Despite being born in the Lust Demon God's ranch and belonging to the “Meat Goat” race, which is almost at the bottom of the Abyss, he still managed to secretly rise to the level of a top-tier Great Demon. If you think about it carefully, it's even somewhat inspiring.
However, a Great Demon who isn't even a demon god is still no different from a small shrimp compared to the Lust Demon God, whose power surpasses that of a typical Pillar Deity. So even if the Black Goat were outstanding, it would be difficult to avoid the fate of becoming a meal in the future.
Thus, its so-called descent into the mortal world and its desire to wreak havoc were mostly just self-aggrandizement. It was almost certain that it had fled from the Nest of Sinful Desires to the mortal world to avoid being eaten by the Lust Demon God.
Even the claim of being Sneak Attacked and barely escaping with its life now seemed highly suspicious. After all, it was a Near-God Level Great Demon. How many organizations in the mortal world could force it to escape in such a desperate manner without the involvement of the Cleaning Bureau?
Tsk… thinking about it this way, I suddenly don't feel so sorry for it.
……
'Hey!'
After touching his face again, Leon, who looked hideous, sinister, and so terrifying that even gods would weep at night, spoke to the silent Black Goat:
'You know what you're thinking, so I won't say any unnecessary words. Just remember one thing: you absolutely cannot use my face.
There are too many demons in the Abyss who know what I look like. If you use my face, you will definitely be discovered. My face is mine, not yours. Even if you use my face, you won't become me. Understand?'
'Heh… sure.'
After hearing Leon's words, the corners of the Black Goat's mouth twitched mechanically, revealing a stiff, self-mocking smile. It then nodded decisively in response:
'I got it.'
'Good.'
With the Black Goat's promise, Leon waved his hand to dispel the surrounding Illusion… It turned out there were no plates or fruits, only a strangely shaped, simple cage, and the Black Goat, bound tightly, "unconscious" inside the cage.
'You?!'
Seeing the real environment around them, the Black Goat instantly reacted, anger rising in its heart. It couldn't help but grit its teeth and demand:
'You went through all this just… just to make fun of me?'
'I don't have that much time to waste.'
Feeling the Black Goat's three parts anger and seven parts desolation, Leon, who had gotten along reasonably well with this foul-mouthed demon in the past, hesitated slightly but ultimately spoke:
'I don't like to lecture, so I won't tell you not to choose to run away or to face your true self… But I'm certain there's one thing you would want to do with your own face.'
'You… what do you mean?'
'My point is, a Great Demon-level Meat Goat is a delicacy even the Original Sin Demon God would covet. So you will most likely end up in the hands of the Lust Demon God.'
Controlling the Black Goat's right hoof and pointing it in the direction of the deeper Abyss, Leon spoke calmly, noting the Black Goat's expression of overwhelming surprise:
'It's too much of a hassle to fight our way down, so I plan to use this convenience to get directly in front of the Lust Demon God.
As a reward for helping me, when the Lust Demon God is about to enjoy you, I can reverse the Abnormal Rebirth Secret Art and lend you my power once… just once, okay!'
