Chapter 262: Yecheng Can Even Save a Possessed Demon!
Chapter 262: Yecheng Can Even Save a Possessed Demon!
The so-called "Shadow Power Seekers" are Supreme Power who hide in the shadows, never revealing their true identities.
In their daily lives, they present themselves as ordinary and unassuming, in other words, they are the epitome of the phrase "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger."
But before he could even start his act, his carefully prepared lines and identity had yet to be revealed, and Yecheng had already seen through his true self, leaving Sida feeling a sense of disparity.
"It's a simple concept. No matter how well you disguise yourself, your aura is difficult to change, isn't it?"
"Or you can think of it as one of my special abilities. Ever since I first saw you in the Kageno Family, I knew you were strong, Sida."
Hearing Yecheng's words, Sida was taken aback. The "aura" that Yecheng mentioned should have been altered and disguised by Sida.
But if Yecheng claimed it was a special ability, then Sida understood that this "aura" was not the same as the other "aura."
"And Kreaya's current condition is not my doing, but the result of the mischief caused by the people you defeated.
In fact, you should be thanking me. Your sister just barely avoided a Mana Runaway situation, and I saved her."
When Alpha took the unconscious Kreaya from Yecheng's hands, she also nodded in Sida's direction. The look she gave Yecheng was filled with astonishment.
This was because Alpha, the Elven girl, was also a "Possessed Demon."
If the "Diabros Sons" are the experimental products created by infusing humans with Diabros Demon's factors, then "Possessed Demons" are naturally occurring carriers of Diabros factors.
A thousand years ago, when Diabros Demon's blood went berserk, three individuals formed a team to hunt down the demon. They were a human, an elf, and an orc.
Although the heroes defeated Diabros, they themselves were cursed as well.
Due to the curse of the demon, their blood, polluted by the curse, would be passed down to their descendants or collateral relatives, and the chances of infection would decrease with each generation.
Elves, having the shortest lifespans, had the fewest generations, making them the most likely to be infected. Humans, with their shorter lifespans, had the most generations, making them the least likely to be infected. Orcs fell somewhere in between.
Furthermore, since Diabros Demon was female, almost all those infected were female.
Once someone became a "Possessed Demon," they would be considered a calamity, and the survival rate for infected females was extremely low.
Alpha was one such "Possessed Demon." Just as she was about to be captured by thieves and her Mana was on the verge of a Runaway, she encountered Sida, who had gone out at night to Show Off. Thus, she was saved.
To Show Off, Sida read the nearby hero's biography and learned about Diabros Demon. He casually made up the Diabros Cult.
But he never expected that there would actually be such a cult in this world, and this time, they had captured his sister, Kreaya.
As for Alpha's astonished gaze towards Yecheng, the reason was quite simple.
It was common knowledge in this world that "Possessed Demons" were incurable.
Whether elves, orcs, or humans, once they became "Possessed Demons," they would undoubtedly be abandoned by their families and tribes.
Alpha once believed that this was a terminal condition, until Sida appeared and spoke of the Diabros Cult. Alpha then believed that Sida would be the one to change and save the world.
However, the current situation with Kreaya has refreshed Alpha's understanding. She discovered that the rampaging Diabros factor within Kreaya had also been stabilized!
In this world, aside from Sida, there was actually another person capable of stabilizing the "Possessed Demon's" curse, and their method seemed even more skilled and superior to Sida's!
"Since you, Kreaya's younger brother, have come, then Kreaya will return with you.
I also need to head back; otherwise, my mother and the others will be worried."
Although Sida had mentioned something about "Shadow" and "Hunt the Dark," Yecheng didn't show any signs of disdain. After all, there were many otaku-like individuals in the world, and Yecheng had encountered similar characters before.
"No, no, no. Since you saved her, it's only natural that you should take her back.
And if possible, I hope you won't reveal my identity. After all, the image of the ordinary second son of the Kageno family is deeply rooted in people's minds, so..."
"I understand your thoughts completely. Since that's the case, I'll take Kreaya back with me."
If this act of an otaku pretending to be weak was in a fantasy world, it would be a typical cliche. However, in the context of anime, it was quite rare.
Through this incident, Yecheng also confirmed that Sheid Kageno was most likely the Planar Child of this world.
With his powerful strength, otaku personality, and beautiful companion, he was undoubtedly the protagonist of a fantasy world. Similarly, from Sheid's perspective, Yecheng, with his handsome appearance, formidable power, and sense of justice, was also the protagonist of this world.
According to his "Shadow Power Seeker" setting, Yecheng was likely to become his lifelong rival.
Such a plot, where one's hidden identity is known only to a worthy rival, is common in various anime and novels.
The rival is of similar age and strength, and their relationship is both friendly and antagonistic. Clearly, Sheid now regarded Yecheng as such a character.
The Diabros base was completely destroyed, but for the Diabros Cult, whose influence spanned the entire world, this was hardly a ripple in the pond.
Neither Yecheng nor "Shadow" attracted any attention.
However, when Yecheng carried Kreaya back to the Kageno family, the entire family was shaken. Baron Kageno even tightly grasped Yecheng's hand, expressing his gratitude.
For the Kageno family, Kreaya was not just the family's heir but also their hope.
After all, the second son, Sheid Kageno, was too incompetent, and Baron Kageno couldn't place his hopes on him.
On the night Kreaya went missing, they had sent out everyone in the territory to search, but to no avail.
They never expected that an eight-year-old child would rescue her, and what they didn't anticipate even more was that only Kreaya had been kidnapped. Yecheng's disappearance was because he had gone to save someone.
