Chapter 30 Demon King
Liam has a weak body and a strong mind, in other words a strong soul.
Nevertheless, in the presense of the demon King, only what he could do was look with fear and not say anything, not even a question escaped from his mouth as he looked at the demon King of first hell with a sense of inferiority and powerlessness.
It was like an ant in the presence of an eagle, the fear of getting devoured usually kept flowing in his mind.
The demon king's eyeball narrowed into a slit with a golden blazing glow emitting from it. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
"Kiddo, In case you weren't informed, you only have one minute to summon the void server and talk to me, unfortunately thirty seconds has already passed and you're left with another thirty seconds. since you don't want to talk, I'll ask you this. What do you value more as a human?"
The question was simple and yet tricky because of the way the demon King asked it.
But Liam didn't hesitate and answer with the one thing he valued most in life, not wealth, not beauties, not families and friends but.
"Power!"
Power to stand beyond all odds and become a sovereign.
After power the other things can be added if he want to.
After hearing his answer, the demon King nodded his head understandingly before speaking a somewhat fatherly tone.
"Good choice, I'll grant you something that will aid you on your path to power, but you can't take all of them at once because of the contrasting strength of your body and soul. Very well, I shall give you my blessings, 6 in numbers. one will be open to you now and the others will be hidden inside you, they will awaken the moment you achieve certain feats."
After saying that, the demon King of first hell waved his trident and three light darted from it into Liam's physical body.
After that, a rift appeared under the feet of the demon king.
Then, the demon king began to move into it slowly.
When his body was almost sucked in finally, he looked at Liam and smiled.
"Good luck leveling with the system!"
Following that, the rift disappeared alongside the demon king.
Following that as well, suction force started getting released by Liam's physical body and it began to draw the soul body into it, like the South Pole of magnet attracting the north pole of another magnet.
Soon, Liam soul has bonded with his real body.
The glow on his body disappeared immediately, his body and the room returned to as it was before as well before Liam finally opened his eyes with a look of confusion in them after hearing what the demon king said.
Before he could question the system, a sharp pain evaded his right eye which was originally blue in color.
His right eye hurt so much that it began to bleed and it became so heavy that he couldn't open it.
He also felt like there was something powerful inside his eyes.
"Hey system can you explain!" Liam panicked, his hands on his face as he yelled.

Liam was seeing all these with his left eye so the information wasn't that clear as he had to keep his focus to stop his eyes from falling apart.
He moved all the essence in his demon core into his left eye to try to reduce the pain.
His essence was exhausted yet the pain did not go away and he passed out because of it.

The next day, Liam woke up very early on the same spot.
Fortunately, no one has came into his room or they could have found out about what has happened the previous night.
'Weird, I can't feel the pain anymore!' Liam thought to himself as he moved his right hand down to his eyes to touch it.
[The state of the eyes has returned to normal]
'Does that means the demon eye is gone?' Although it was painful last night, he didn't want to let go of it as it is a very rare treasure that he wouldn't afford to throw away like that.
[You can use the demon eye at will but the cost will be your consciousness; the strength of the demon eye is too powerful, one that host body and soul can't contain at this juncture, thus host is advised not to use the eyes frequently at this state.]
'Ok, noted.'
[Nevertheless, host should be happy.]
'About what?'
[The demon eyes can be evolved to higher quality in the future, the one that you have been gifted with is just the lowest grade one. I'm sure the demon king did that for your safety.]
After hearing about the demon king from the system, he got curious and wanted to ask a question but the system was too fast reading his mind and giving him the answer he was looking for... although, not in the way he really wanted.
[Sorry host, the information about what the demon king [i] said cannot be passed to you at this level]
'Oh, then if you can tell me about that, then what about the void server? I recall him telling me about me summoning the void server.'
[The void server is a demonic server created by the demonic Primordial of communication that can be accessed by only demons. It's more like the hotspot and WiFi in Host's previous life.]
'Oh! Liam now understood what the demon king was saying.
Just at that moment.
[Main quests level 3:
1: Reach human champion realm in essence cultivation.
2: Find an ancient orb]
[Main reward: 100 lottery coin]
[Penalty: Quest difficulty will increase and duration will decrease]
[Duration: Eighteen months]
'I guess this is a passive mission, even the penalty doesn't speak of too much danger and the reward is even hundred lottery crystals.' Liam thought to himself.
