Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Aldred, Maverick, and the snake woman looked around the cave.

Aldred looked at her and asked: “What is your name?”

“I am called Nalythra, but you can call me Naly.”

Aldred nodded. “So do you have any idea on how to get any clue for the riddle, Naly?”

“I am not sure. Everything changes around here. I have never seen that gargoyle before, and I noticed a lot of powerful monsters started to appear.”

‘That must be the world doing its things to make the challenge,’ Aldred thought.

“Maybe we have to kill the monsters to find the clue.”

“It’s possible, Aldred said.”

“So are we going to kill monsters?” Maverick asked.

Naly hugged his arm. “We are not going to do anything, dear. Aldred will take care of everything. Now that I become his undead, I know everything about him including his power. He is so powerful, but there are other secrets that will make you see the world in a completely different view.”

“What secrets?” Maverick asked.

Aldred raised an eyebrow.

“Sorry, my love. I cannot tell you that.” She giggled.

As Aldred and his two companions explored the cave. They arrived at a narrow and thin bridge. Below the bridge was a crater, filled with bubbling lava.

“Should we keep going this way? I don’t think the bridge is safe to use,” Maverick said.

“We should keep going. There is no other way,” Aldred said.

“Okay, whatever you say, man.”

The three of them walked towards the bridge. Aldred saw the bridge connected far to the other side. When he looked down, he saw a deep abyss.

A strange sound entered his ears. He turned around. “Did you guys heard that?”

“Hear what?” Maverick.

“Did you really not heard that?” Naly looked at him, unsure. “I heard it loud and clear.”

Another sound echoed. Rustling like tiny feet. Lots of feet.

Aldred frowned and pulled his blade. The tip ignited with flame. Then, the flame spread down to the hilt.

Looking around, Aldred slightly bent his knees. Entering a battle stance as he prepared himself for battle.

Naly’s eyes turned into that of a snake. She looked to the left. Shadows moved. She saw something but she wasn’t sure what it was. And then another sound came from the right. She narrowed her eyes. ” there’s something in there. Something big. And there seems to be a lot of them.”

” yeah, I know. Tell me what you see.”

Aldred’s godly eyes is currently being blocked by the world power. So, the power of his eyes is currently restricted.

If it wasn’t the case. He could have seen everything. Aldred then took something out of his inventory.

It was a small device. Made out of copper. With the shape of an eye. He throw it. It floated in the air, then it began to shine.

It entered his forehead. Suddenly his eyes glowed and everything he set his eyes upon, he could see everything as clear as day.

Aldred smiled. ” now I can see. They are dangerous monsters.”

“What monsters?” Naly asked.

“Monsters with a thousand face. And not only that they have consumed more than a thousand soul.”

Aldred took a step back. “You two might want to step away from me.”

Maverick and Naly obeyed as they both took a few steps back.

Suddenly, a hideous centipede appeared. On its shells were the imprint of faces. They all wore the expression of fear and pain as if they were tortured and begging to be killed.

———

[Soul Eater Centipede]

Level: 88

Power: Consume Soul, Petrification, Dark Vision, Enraged.

History: The Soul Eater Centipede is a creature born from the literal nightmare of men. It stayed in the dark, and would hunt on anyone that dared to get close.

———

The centipede stepped on the bridge as more than half its body hanged onto the high ceiling.

Aldred could tell that this beast was definitely huge not just in size, but in length as well.

Pointing his sword at the creature, Aldred asked: “Do you have any clues about a riddle?”

“Riddle?” The creature replied with a woman voice.

Aldred honestly did not expect the monster to reply.

“Ah, you must be one of those treasure hunters.” This time the voice changed to the voice of a little girl. “Your kinds have the sweetest souls. So full of ambition, desire, and dreams. I love it.”

“I take it that you don’t want to tell me about any clue?” Aldred asked.

“Only if you can defeat me, young soul.” The centipede moved at Aldred in high speed.

With its length and size, the centipede looked like a literal train going at him with full momentum.

The bridge was too narrow for him to dodge, and flying was out of the question.

Aldred sheated his blade and jumped off the bridge.

“Foolish, you are killing yourself,” the centipede replied.

Aldred smiled before he reached out, and shot a sticky string at the centipede’s body, swinging before he landed on top of the centipede.

“I am fairly disgusted with centipedes. But you… you are so much more disgusting.” Aldred pulled his Phantom Doomblade and slashed.

“Spirit Slash!”

Powerful red aura went in an arc, penetrating the tough scales of the monsters.

“Gahh! You will pay for that!”

One of the face on the centipede’s scales opened its mouth and fired a miasma of poison.

[You have been affected with Dizziness]

[You have been affected with Partial Blindness]

[You have been affected with Slowness]

[You have been affected with Hallucination]

Aldred was disoriented from all the debuffs he suffered. His mind and body was in turmoil before his eyes transformed deep black.

[Baron Hell Demon Bloodline activated]

That was when most of the debuffs disappeared in an instant.

The centipede hissed. “Who are you? You are supposed to be a mortal! But why… why do I smell that blood in you?”

“I am the Demon King Hujarar’s son!”

Aldred tightly grabbed the blade and drove it deep into the centipede. Powerful dark energy rushed out of his body, ran towards the blade, and then entered the centipede.
