Gods' Impact Online

"What do you mean by you devoured everything?!" Asmodeus asked with a confused and shocked look on her face.

"I just explained it to you, didn't I?"

"I need a better and simpler explanation."

"Uhh…" Zach pondered for a few seconds and said, "I absorbed everything."

"..." Asmodeus shot a furious glare at Zach and sighed, "Forget it."

"As I am trying to say, I ate everything and gained…oh.. right…" Zach rubbed his hand under his chin and wondered, "What did I gain?"

Asmodeus turned to Zach and stared at him with an even more confused look on her face.

"First of all, how did I even cast my domain? I didn't see or feel any changes. Now I am starting to wonder if I even cast a domain? As far as I am aware, a domain should be visible to anyone.

The emperor of shit's domain was also visible and in effect, as Asmo couldn't leave the cave. So if my domain casting failed, doesn't that mean I didn't use my DA skill. But I was able to devour him without touching him, so my DA skill was active, and hence, my domain should have worked too.

Alright, this is getting confusing for no reason." Zach glanced at Asmodeus and muttered, "You made me confused too."

"Don't blame me! And stop calling me Asmo! My name is Asmodeus!" Asmodeus hissed.

"Look, I am never calling you by your full name, and you know the reason why. So you either let me call you Asmo or tell me another name you want me to call you by."

"Do you seriously think my name can have any nickname?"

"No… actually," he responded with an awkward smile.

Asmodeus looked outside the cave and asked, "What should we do? It's still night. Should we rest here?" 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

"I don't feel tired, so I don't need to rest. But if you want to rest, then sure."

Asmodeus raised her brow and asked, "How do you not feel tired after everything you did today?"

"You can say I am used to it."

Asmodeus made herself comfortable on the log and leaned back to the wall.

"I don't want to drag you down by resting the night here. But let me sit here for a few minutes."

Zach sat beside her and closed his eyes before leaning to the wall.

Asmodeus stared at him as her face flushed a little.

"Thank you… for saving me. And I am sorry for saying all those mean things to you. I was just… frustrated and sad…"

"It's fine. I should have been considerate to you."

After a brief silence of awkwardness, Asmodeus gulped down nervously and uttered, "If you hadn't come to save me… I don't know what might have happened."

"..."

"How did you arrive at the right time, though? Don't tell me you were watching me from outside?!"

"No."

Asmodeus sighed in relief after hearing that. Seemingly relieved that Zach didn't hear what she had said. However, she couldn't be more wrong.

"But I did listen to everything," Zach added.

"Huh?"

Zach showed his dagger to Asmodeus and said, "Why do you think I left this behind?"

"Why…?"

I don't have any weapons on me as I can conjure them using magic. But there is a sword in my inventory that I was supposed to give to my lover. However, hell is neither part of the game nor connected to it, so I can't access any system or game elements.

This dagger was made from shadow." Zach tossed the dagger in his shadow, and it disappeared.

"And…?"

"It's not made of my shadow, but my companion— Layla." Zach clapped his hands and said, "Layla, can you introduce yourself to Asmo?"

Layla came out of Zach's shadow like a ghost and stood in front of Zach and Asmodeus.

"...!"

"This is Layla, and she is accompanying me in hell."

Asmodeus retreated to the far side of the log and asked, "There is a girl living in your shadow?"

"Yes."

Zach took out his spatial ring from his pocket and showed it to Asmodeus.

"Using this ring, I can teleport anywhere I want, but it's wacky, to be honest. So unless I leave a mark, I cannot teleport. So I left the dagger made from Layla's shadow and used spatial teleportation to arrive here.

And as for why I arrived at the right time…" Zach chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was listening to everything because I can hear what my shadow companions here. However, I couldn't hear the emperor of the shit, and I thought you were just venting and talking to yourself.

Still, I am glad I decided to check up on you. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened."

Asmodeus' face flushed red in embarrassment after remembering everything she had said after Zach left. But her most embarrassing statement was:

'I would rather let my brother r*pe me than allow you to touch me with your disgusting hands!'

Of course, Zach knew why she was embarrassed as he had heard everything, but he didn't want to mention it as it was as awkward for him as it was for Asmodeus.

A few seconds later, Asmodeus took a deep breath and got up from the log. Then, she looked at Zach and said, "Just so you know, I didn't mean any of those words, okay?!"

"I know, I know."

"You better not get funny ideas about me because we are traveling together now!" She hugged herself and continued, "I better be careful when I sleep. Who knows what I might wake up to."

"Oh, don't worry." Zach waved his hand in denial and said, "You are not even my type, to begin with."

Asmodeus' face twitched in anger after hearing that. She walked out of the cave after saying, "Let's go now! I have had enough rest!"

"..."

Zach got up and patted Layla on the head.

"Thank you for helping me out today."

Layla nodded and returned into Zach's shadow.

SIGH!

Zach let out a weary sigh and left the cave.

"I should find a demon girl who is ready to dual cultivate with me. Let's hope I find one in the next city."

Thus began the journey of a brother and sister on the quest to defeat the demon lord.
