RISE OF EROS-Chapter 613 - 612

"What do you mean by that?" Andrew immediately asked, not understanding what Fluffy meant. Fluffy let out a sigh and began to explain, "Master, it was obvious that Zaros was not going to let him undertake this mission alone from the beginning."

Fluffy paused and added, "You are a very important person to them, since they may be holding the fort for now, but if the fallen god revives, you can only stop him, so they will not let him do reckless things like this."

"So, why did you incite me to undertake this mission?" Andrew continued to ask without understanding and Fluffy replied, "Because no garden flower survives in the wild." With that one expression, Andrew understood everything completely. He may come from a world where these words do not apply so strongly, but there were correlations.

For example, this could be applied to the field of work and study on Earth. No matter how much you study and how many professionals teach you, when you enter the labor field the situation is different.

If you are always protected by someone when you do your job, the day that protection is not there, you will definitely screw up and although it is a more extreme environment, the same thing happens in this world.

With so many dangers and strange situations in this world, if you are always protected, the moment that protection disappears, then you are as good as dead, so Andrew understood what Zaros wanted to do.

It was nothing more than giving him the feeling of danger and autonomy so that he could develop and experience dangers in a controlled space, without him knowing so that he would not relax.

In this way, he would grow and when he was in similar situations he would not break under the pressure. Andrew also understood that, for that same reason, Fluffy had not told him about his hidden protectors. Find your adventure at novelbuddy

Andrew wanted to continue talking to Fluffy about something else but was interrupted when from the direction of the city where the three demigods had gone, a powerful aura was felt.

Although he was not sure, Andrew thought that, although he was powerful, he was not at the level of Lucian. Seraphine, Oliver, and Sansa were a little nervous, as the power difference was not small, but Andrew was calm.

Although he did not like to use it very often, Andrew had his ace up his sleeve and did not hesitate to give his body to Fluffy if he had to fight. In addition, he could see that Lucian was not worried at all.

This proved that Andrew was right. Lucian is more powerful. In seconds, the three demigods had returned accompanied by an old demon with gray hair, eyebrows, and a white beard, with a wrinkled face.

Despite the obvious signs of old age, his aura said otherwise. In addition, if you looked closely, you could see that his body was as solid and massive as a rock, so he was old, but not decrepit.

The old man arrived expressing all his power as if he wanted to subdue everyone. The reason was that he was upset, since when the three demigods told him the situation, unlike the guard who had explained the situation to them, the truth was not what they told.

The three demigods were vengeful and resentful, so when they met up with Balack to report the situation, they said that they had found suspects who seemed to belong to the organization that had controlled them before.

Furthermore, they reported that they were powerful and that they intended to use the clan as a test subject. They even invented how they had cleverly managed to obtain this information.

These three demigods might be trash, but they were definitely good at making things up. Obviously, Balack was upset when he heard that they could be members of the organization that had previously incited them to fight.

If you add to that the fact that they intend to use their clan as a guinea pig, it is obvious that Balack would be upset and so by turning on all his power he reached where Andrew and the others were in this way.

The three demigods who lied were behind Balack inwardly gloating over their plan and happy to see how Balack killed everyone, but then they were surprised.

Balack, who had arrived with incredible fury, stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Lucian standing there with a smile. "Lucian?" Balack said with great surprise, causing Lucian to burst out laughing as he said, "Balack, you have aged."

At that moment, everything froze. Everyone present was standing there in silence observing the situation, but they all had different thoughts in their heads.

The guards who had stopped Andrew and the others at the beginning were all standing still, shocked to see Balack. There are very few people who know that Balack is alive and well, even within the clan.

So seeing him was a surprise, because not only did they not know of his existence, but his strength was beyond what they could understand. Andrew, Oliver, Sansa, and Seraphine were motionless because they never expected that this would be the kind of conversation that two beings as powerful as them should have.

Finally, the three demigods were frozen in fear, because now they were seeing that Balack seemed to know Lucian and also, they seemed like good friends, so their lies would be exposed and with that death was an option.

"Bastard, what are you doing here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?", asked Balack jokingly and Lucian replied, "Well, I came to protect these kids. I didn’t know that the city they were heading to was your clan’s territory."

Balack looked at Andrew and the others. He recognized Seraphine, for although he did not know her in person, there was nothing in the city that escaped Balack’s eyes so he knew who she was.

"Who are they?" Balack asked, but Lucian did not answer, only gave him a meaningful look, which Balack immediately understood. What Lucian had conveyed to him was that this place was not suitable to discuss this topic.

Balack did not pursue the matter and understand the reason. In his mind, if they were so important, that Zaros sent his best man to protect them, they must be very important.

If Balack knew that Zaros himself could have gone to protect Andrew, he would have had a heart attack. However, he did not think much about it, because he realized something that he is ignoring so far.

The excitement of seeing an old friend like Lucian had made him forget that the three demigods had told him a lot of nonsense, but now that he saw that it was Lucian who was in front of him, he immediately understood that they had lied to him.

Balack had known Lucian for centuries when Zaros still resided in the realm of demons. The influence of the remnants of the fallen god was not yet very strong, but in this world, conflicts are not rare.

Balack faced a calamity and it was Lucian who had saved him. In fact, Lucian even imparted some knowledge to him to increase his strength and thanks to that, he became the founder, leader, and protector of his clan.

This is why for Balack, Lucian is not only a friend, he is his teacher and savior. Everything he had achieved had been thanks to him and for that reason, the three demigods must have lied to him, because he knew Lucian too well to believe that what they said was true.

Reigniting his anger, Balack looked at the three demigods and said coldly, "Repeat what you told me happened," which made the three demigods tremble like a leaf in the wind.

With that one comment and attitude, everyone understood that the three demigods must have said something wrong. The three demigods did not dare to speak, as confessing their lies was the same as seeking death.

Silence may not be the best option, but it would allow them to drag out the matter and thus avoid capital punishment, as it seemed that would be the punishment they would receive if they confessed.

However, it was a stupid decision, as with everyone present it was stupid to think that no one would say anything. Seeing that the three demigods refused to speak, Balack did not force them.

Then he looked at the guards who were present. He may not pay attention to a group like them, since they are weak, but this time is different since insulting Lucian was something he could not conceive.

"What happened?" Balack asked the guards. They were too shocked to answer, but the leader who seemed the calmest stepped forward and after bowing in respect, explained everything that had happened.

This guard had an exceptional character, because not only now, but when the three demigods had appeared before, he only told the truth or what he had seen. He never said anything to embellish his image or discredit that of others.

His character surprised Andrew and the others because they did not expect to find someone so upright among the demons. It is true that they had been arrested before and they were the ones who started all this, but even so, Andrew and the others appreciated his sincerity.

Balack listened to the story calmly or at least on the surface, it seemed that way, because inside he was fuming. The more he listened, the more upset he became, and by the time the guard finished speaking, Balack turned to look at the three liars with the intention of killing them.

The three demigods, seeing this, tried to flee, but Balack would never allow it. Moving at great speed, he caught up with them and with a powerful blow, he shattered the head of one of them.

The other two, seeing how their accomplice had been killed, used everything they had to flee, but Balack only appeared in front of them and with a blow to each one, made them suffer the same fate as the first.
