Given that Astaroth always gave a year-on-year to the Blood Devils, Lyan estimated that the reason Astaroth did that was to make the Blood Devils break through the higher levels of the Hermits, namely the Xora level.
If the Blood Devils could become Xora, this matter would become even more complicated. His comrades were unlikely to be able to overcome the Blood Devils that had become Xora. Struggling alone against Astaroth with such squads would put him in a difficult situation.
This made Lyan a little anxious. At least he had to eliminate all the Blood Devils first before dealing with Astaroth. But he doesn't know how. He still remembered how difficult it was when facing the Demon Napsu who was only at the Sky Energy level in the Asmodeus Kingdom. At that time he could not even find the weakness of the creature.
‘Tenace. I'm not the old one anymore. At least the Blood Devils would not be as strong as Astaroth. Weakness problems over time I believe will find them when facing them.’
Lyan's anxiety could be felt by Yuna who was watching her. Yuna then approached and held onto the young man's shoulder.
“No need to worry, Lyan.” Yuna smiled. “I will try my hardest to be your strength. The Blood Devil matter, let me take care of it. You just have to think about Astaroth.” He spoke as if he could read what the young man had in mind.
“Yuna, but ..” Lyan knew Yuna was already getting stronger, but to face a Blood Demon equal to Xora was still too far away.
“Lyan, I know I'm not yet as strong as you, but this time I can't stand watching you struggle and endure it all alone.”
Yuna was powerless to see Lyan trying to carry the burden alone and put more safety first than herself. Plus the gods and demons demanded that he stop the Eternal Demoness that would rise soon, Yuna could not imagine how much tired the young man was.
“You've been bearing the heavy burden alone all this time. At least ... just a little .. just share a little bit of your burden with me. Trust me. I'll prove to you that I'm useful.”
Lyan could feel the earnestness from Yuna's eyes. The woman made him realize that all this time his colleagues also continue to grow and can survive against various obstacles with him. Lyan smiled faintly, feeling stupid for having doubted the abilities of his comrades.
“Thank you, Yuna. I trust them to you.”
Meanwhile Hex who was between Light and Master Gyo crossed hands while smiling to himself.
“Sister-in-law is great. He can convince first brother well.”
Master Gyo and Light frowned in astonishment at hearing Hex calling Yuna by the name of brother-in-law. The man was indeed strange and always called people as he pleased.
From the conversation just now, Venom could draw the conclusion that they had intended to kill Astaroth before he asked for help.
“Every two weeks I, Lilia and Zemus will meet Mr. Astaroth at his palace located on Pulau Tunggal. On that day Lord Astaroth will transform the form of the Blood Devils into humans and seal their power so that we do not realize it.”
Venom continues the word. “Six more days are meeting days and come there. Don't forget about me, Lilia and Zemus who will interfere with your plans. Among you there must be a party that prevents us from reaching the palace.”
“Wait! Didn't you just tell us Astaroth's secret? Why are you still on their side?” Hex frowned, astonished at Venom who asked them to kill Astaroth but still sided with Astaroth.
“While I have betrayed Mr. Astaroth at this time, I am still one of his followers. I will ask Lilia and Zemus not to bring any troops so that there will be no more casualties on the part of the inhabitants of this continent whose population is now less than 200,000 souls”
“Not that I'm asking you not to kill the three of us. On the contrary I ask you to mean it because we will not hesitate to exert full force in order to kill you.”
Hex scratched his head hard. From the beginning he had never understood the Venom mind path that was so complicated.
“Basic of freaks.” Hex could only sigh deeply.
Finished hearing all Venom said, Lyan nodded slowly. “Alright, we'll be there in six days.”
Venom smiled before turning around while looking up for a moment. Not long after, his gaze was directed at Youl who was busy looking for lice found between the feathers of his arms.
“Our meeting this time happened is not in accordance with my keingan, Tiger.”
Youl flinched not expecting Venom to speak to him. “Ha-Ha-Ha-Hah?!”
“I don't know why your strength feels different from back then. But I hope the next six days you can show me all your skills.”
“A-a-a-aku ...” Youl scratched his head in confusion as to what he wanted to say since it was not him who had affairs with Venom, but rather the Dark Side.
“Already, Venom. Go there! Just disturb you this.” Hex waved his hand asking Venom to immediately leave them.
Venom smiled for a moment.
“Hex, I saw you pretty close to your colleagues. I can only suggest that you keep your distance from them now. You know for yourself if your comrades manage to kill Lord Astaroth what will happen. All inhabitants of this continent and ancient tribes will die.”
Venom then disappeared from the place.
