Radolf was stunned when he heard his son's words. He could feel the sadness of every utterance the young man said, "R-rafa.. Nak.. It's not like that.."
Rafa began to look up to see his father's face, though not so clearly, "Then, why? Why would.. Dad didn't come back to see me? Isn't dad.. Did you say you'd pick me up again?"
He tried to hold the pressure on his chest and tried not to let any tones vibrate. He was actually happy to see his father again, but he felt annoyed, so upset that the feeling overflowed into tears.
"Dad..," Radolf had trouble answering that question. If he told the truth, would Rafa believe it? After all, even that incident did not seem so good if told.
Need grunting. He immediately took over to answer without hesitation, "He could not meet you, because there was a war between the Kings at that time. The incident could happen because he was already known to violate the rules in the demon world, the prohibition to get in touch with humans.
After that incident, he was immediately detained in the kingdom of King Stev. He could not escape and was tortured for several years. Hence..," he pointed at Radolf using an eye gaze and with great emphasis on his word, saying,
"..Leon had to intervene and get into trouble. You need to know, what you did is unforgivable. Because of the mistake you made as well, the Demon Lords got a reason to attack Leon for wanting the ancient power that was on his body.
Though it was merely a diversion for King Ralt.. Her.. So that he could collect a lot of victims from this incident. That way, he could destroy the demon world."
Need paused for a moment and looked at Radolf's face. He then continued, "Initially I had no idea what he was going to do to destroy the demon world. But then I knew.. He planted a tree that grows butterflies that can kill demons.
I knew it, because during my search for you, I found them many times and almost died because of it. Because of your mistake, not only did you involve Leon, but you also involved all the demons in the world. Your mistake, poses a great threat to the world."
Need's tone of voice was so serious and contained emotions.
Radolf slightly lowered his head, "I know what I did was wrong. And I know it's unforgivable" he lifted his face with his face staring at Need, "But I don't know what you're saying."
Nevan looked at Need seriously, "Wait–you said about.. Leon's? You know Leon? What do you mean, he's that 10-year-old kid? Red eyes and black hair?"
Need looked at the young man when he heard his question, "Yes, that can be said. But that was only his disguise as long as he lost his memory. Did you know him in the human world? Hah, what a coincidence to meet here."
A cynical smile formed on Nevan's face, "You've seen my true appearance. But why didn't you attack right away? Aren't you blizt? Well, even if you're not that strong. But why didn't you try to kill me? Aren't you blizts going to hit the devil when you find him?
You don't know if I'm a demon in the human world, so you can be so relaxed with me. But now, you already know my identity. Don't you feel alert? Don't you feel threatened? You don't want to attack?"
Nevan was silent for a moment when she heard the words from Need. That's absolutely true. He now knows Need's true identity as a demon. Maybe Need can say this because he already knows if he is blizt since he first met. If he knew right from the start, even without him showing his blizt ability, then Need was no ordinary demon. He himself did not know if the demon Need and only found out now.
Their strength may be too far away. Nevan won't win if he fights. On the other hand, he also had to ask Need a few things, so he did not want to provoke hostility here.
"No, depending on the situation. After all, as far as I know, you don't seem to be attacking any human being" Nevan replied calmly.
Need grunting. He smiled mockingly, "You said it as if you could just attack me. Even just scratching me, you can't."
"We'll see later. After all, you also seem to be getting hurt a lot. I can smell the thick smell of blood from you. Not only the blood of others, but there is also your own. You know, I have a keen sense of smell."
Need gave a sour expression when he heard the speech of the young man before him. What the young man said was not wrong. He suffered many injuries when he was caught by Stev. In addition, he also got the impact of the fight of the kings.
Plus, he gets injured while searching for Radolf's whereabouts. It's not good enough right now. The wound was indeed slowly healing, but there was a poison that inhibited the regeneration of his body.
"In that case, are you sure you can finish me off?" Need smiled again, "You know what, I'm one of the commanders. Which means, I'm not an ordinary demon you can kill easily."
"We'll see" Nevan won't lose. He put on a confident smile.
Rafa wiped away the tears he let out. He cried not because of sadness, but emotions that were too big so that he could not stand. Quickly, he stood between Need and his brother.
His expression looked cold as he spoke, "Keep that aside for now. I'd like to hear more about Leon and what you previously said."
Need glanced at Rafa and was about to underestimate, but he immediately froze when he saw Rafa's eyes. His gaze was so piercing and similar to Leon that he found it difficult to swallow. But it's even colder than Leon.
Radolf is stunned when Rafa now ignores him and does not want to face him. He was a little sad when he saw that.
"Do you know where Leon is now?" rafa asked without turning her gaze away from Need.
Need breathed slowly and began to look at the young man coldly, "You will never be able to find him. Even if you look for it to the end of the world."
"What do you mean?" Nevan interrupted.
"He's dead. He's dead now. Even if you look for it to the end of the world, you will never see it again. Just to see the body, you can't. Because it's.. His body had been eaten by a monster..," Need's tone of voice became quivering as he said his last sentence. He was there, but he couldn't help Leon's body. It's.. It has failed.
Not long after King Stev and Silvia fought, hordes of monsters came attacking. The corpse of Leon who at that time was thrown quite far from the palace due to the shock wind from the battle of the Demon Lords was near the monsters and instantly became a meal.
It was like a nightmare for Need to see it. He who had always been with Leon and became an eye for him could not even help his body. Even as long as Leon fought, he could do nothing.
Nevan and Rafa could not help their shock. Even Radolf was equally surprised. He had not heard this news from Need before.
They were completely unexpected by the statement from Need who said Leon was dead. Even.. His body was eaten by.. A monster?
