All Novel Full Chapter 245 - Talk
-----
Ermenia and Armonia, the kids from the Saphibian Race had proclaimed something important that moved the hearts of those around them but in all the wrong directions, and some of them didn't even had hearts to begin with! The were incapable of saving Chaos and Aruliel, it was… simply impossible!
"How come it's not possible?! There should be a way! It's a damn giant frog!" said Natalia. She roared angrily as she had been growing rather stressed, grabbing the kids from their clothes and roaring back at them.
"W-Wait, hold on, Natalia, calm down!" sighed Edward, as he tried to stop her, touching her shoulder and making her move the kids down, who were scared and trembling in fear. They were clearly weak mortal-realm beings, if the group were to be too rough, they could accidentally kill them.
"I am sorry for that, she had lost her temper a little bit." sighed Edward, giving the kids a gentle yet concerned and bitter smile, he quickly opened his Dimensional Bag, and gave the two kids some strange snacks to them, which were in fact apples.
"W-What's this?" asked Armonia.
"Looks weird and hard." Said Ermenia.
"You've never eaten apples before? They're sweet fruits that help you grow stronger. They can bring you to a healthy state if you eat these magical ones." Said Edward.
"Oohhhh…"
The two kids were very innocent at the end, believing a stranger and devouring the apples, thankfully Edward didn't had any bad intention and happily saw the kids eating the apples while sighing in relief. Amongst the entire freak show he looked like the most "normal" and the most approachable of them all, who were mostly monsters.
He was after all just an Elf Man researcher that grew stronger through effort by hunting many beasts inside dungeons and developing his magic to new heights. Now he was a low-ranked God, but still a God, even if he looked as normal as always. The other members of the group still saw Edward as a member of their family, so they felt relieved he calmed things down because their monstrous natures didn't knew how to properly handle delicate children, Erebus wasn't at all a "delicate children" to count.
"We apologize if we scared you, kids, what are your names?" asked Belphegor, trying to look less scary, he wrapped the flames around his body and reduced his massive size through Size Alteration.
The two kids looked at a literal floating skull covered in flames speak, even if it said that it didn't wanted to scare them or if it was sorry, it was still scary as fuck… even if it showed itself as smaller and more "innocent"…. It was still very much scary to look at!
"Huhh…"
"Aaahh…"
The two looked at Belphegor in horror!
"Belphegor your presence seems way too eerie for them…" sighed Edward.
"W-What? But… I… the children love me back in the Kingdom!" said Belphegor angrily.
"Well that's because they're used to you, but right now you're indeed scary." Said Boxxy.
"You from all people don't have the right to call me scary, Boxxy! Aren't you usually a mass of flesh? That you can take such a small and compact human-like form is merely due to your race traits…" sighed Belphegor, Boxxy had indeed evolved into a Doppelganger, a being capable of shaping her form around although her real self was a mass of flesh.
"Now, now, let's not get into team discussions, we are all civilized monsters here, right, Belphegor?" asked Yuki.
"Hahh… You're right. I apologize. Maybe I am too angered and affected by my lord's disappearance… I am just… so worried… Chaos-sama…" muttered Belphegor, as little tears came out of his skull, although such tears were made of flames.
The kids looked at the skull sorrow, it seemed to be genuine, despite their initial fear, the kids had a strong power to see through a being's emotions, and despite how scary it looked, Belphegor had a strong sorrow inside of him.
"Don't cry…" sighed Armonia.
"You're a scary monster, don't cry like that…" sighed Ermenia.
"Ah… A scary monster, huh? I guess it could be said that I am indeed a monster… I suppose this is not how we should act, right?" sighed Belphegor.
Everyone fell a bit silent, the situation was dire but there was just nothing they could do. The children seemed to just said that Chaos and Aruliel were as good as dead.
"Damn it! Aruliel… Chaos!" muttered Ifrit, feeling frustrated.
"Maybe we could let ourselves get swallowed to meet them?" asked Lilith.
"No! you shouldn't!" said Armonia.
"It would be bad if you get eaten!" said Ermenia.
"Children…" sighed Lilith.
"Everyone, perhaps the children won't know a thing, but the tribe they belong to could know something more, how about we politely ask them to show us their tribe? We could speak with the one in charge." Said Erebus, bringing a brilliant idea to the table.
"You're right…!" said Yuki.
"To be expected of my lord's son!" said Belphegor.
"Seems way more approachable." Said Lilith.
"Oh, how come I didn't thought about it… Children, could it be possible to see your village?" asked Abyss.
The kids looked at one another worriedly, they didn't wanted to bring this freak show back home, but they were growing rather unrest, beginning to feel like these people were way too sorrowful, not only the skull but every single one of them combined their sorrow and made a gigantic black cloud around them, which they could clearly see…
The twins had this special ability, the power to see through the emotions of others with this special Emotion Cloud, when they saw someone sad, a black cloud above their heads showed up, now, all these sad people made a combination of many clouds, a gigantic one.
The children, in their gentle-hearted and innocent minds, which had yet to go through many hardships and see the truth about the harsh world, decided to help these strangers, despite what their elders would say against it.
"Sure… The apple was tasty." Said Armonia.
"If you got more, we can bring you there! Do you have more for the tribe?" asked Ermenia.
