Chapter 390 Chapter 389: Underwhelming Fight
"Say, Cerberus. I am bored. Do something to entertain me," Zach ordered Cerberus.
[Like?]
"Sing me a song."
[My apologies, but I don't know how to do that.]
"Hmm… then how about dancing?"
[I don't think I can dance, my liege.]
"Hmm~" Zach hummed in amusement as he looked at the half-dead angel. "Why don't you make him dance?"
[My liege, one needs hands and legs to dance, and he has neither of that.]
"True. How about singing?"
[His tongue should no longer work because of the poison,] Cerberus responded calmly.
"But he can scream, right?" Zach asked with a smirk on his face.
[Of course. As long as he is alive,] Cerberus nodded.
"How long do you think he will stay alive before he dies completely?"
Cerberus inspected the angel's body and said, [I would say about twenty minutes.]
"Twenty minutes?! I don't have that much free time. Do something entertaining in the meantime."
Cerberus pondered for a while and uttered, [As you wish, my liege.]
Cerberus opened his dragon mouth and spat fire at the angel.
"Argh!"
The angel's body slowly burned as he screamed, while Cerberus and Zach watched the show with amused expressions on their faces.
The angel's body twitched in every way. He rolled on the floor, but the fire didn't go out.
"Heh!" Zach snickered and uttered, "Angels live in the heavens, demons live in hell. Yet, an angel is on fire now, or should I say… experiencing a living hell?
Now that makes me wonder, if humans and their souls go to heaven or hell after death, where does the angel's soul go after death? If they return to heaven, doesn't that mean they can't die?
However, if I remember correctly, mother told me that when divine entities such as angels and gods die, they get mixed with the universe and provide energy from there. I don't know if that's true or not, but if mother said it, then it's obviously true."
Amid the pain and unbearable suffering, the angel heard everything. He was curious about Zach's mother— although Zach was talking about Erza, the angel knew nothing.
The angel's skin had burned, and his flesh began to roast as the smell spread in the chamber.
"Ew! It stinks!"
[I was lowkey expecting to eat him, but since you said it stinks, I shall stop myself,] Cerberus stated.
'Crap. Now he is sulking. Let's cheer him up,' Zach uttered inwardly.
"Say Cerberus, this angel said that the demons and monsters are supposed to be ugly, and only angels and divines are allowed to be beautiful. However, who looks the most ugly in this chamber ?"
Zach circled around the throne and climbed on top of it. No, he didn't sit on the seat; he sat on top of the slat while placing his feet on the seat.
[This angel, of course,] Cerberus responded while looking at the dying angel.
"Correct answer! You score 69 points!"
The angel eventually stopped screaming as he got closer and closer to death's door. He didn't have the strength or sense to do anything.
A few minutes later, Cerberus turned to Zach and asked, [My liege, once this angel dies, who would be the most beautiful in this room?]
'What the—! That's a trick question, isn't it? Damn, Cerberus is getting sassy. He is learning from me, huh? Well, a disciple can't defeat their master.'
"That would be you, Cerberus," Zach replied in a calm voice.
[What about you, then?]
"I am, of course, handsome rather than beautiful."
While Cerberus and Zach were having a buddy talk, the angel was taking his last breaths. And a few seconds later, the angel died.
[Congratulations! You have defeated the realm boss!]
"Heh!"
[Congratulations! You have gained the title- Supreme Warrior!]
"That's lame."
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a secret location on the map- Angel's Castle!]
"I should have gotten this sooner."
[Congratulations! The Angel's Castle now belongs to you!]
"Ehh… I don't really need it. What will I do with this place anyway? I am going to ascend to the higher realm now. Not to mention, I have my own church and a nun," Zach groaned.
[Congratulations! You have received a reward for defeating the realm boss!]
"I doubt it's going to be something useful," Zach sighed.
[Congratulations! You have acquired a piece of '????' as a reward!]
"Oh!" Zach exclaimed in amusement. "But they have to stop congratulating me every time."
Zach opened his inventory and mixed all the four pieces of '????'
"It better be something useful, or I will be pissed. I think I have said this many times already, but this will be the last time since I have acquired all the pieces!"
Zach clicked on 'craft' and waited for it to process.
"..." He was feeling the same as one would feel while checking the results of the exams online.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a ring!]
"...." Zach raised his brow and sighed in disbelief as he muttered, "Why am I even surprised? I should have expected this."
Zach opened his inventory and selected the ring to drop it, but he gazed at the description and decided to keep it.
'Spatial ring.'
"Well, this could be useful. Let's test and review it later."
SIGH!
"That fight was seriously underwhelming. What do you say, Cerberus?"
[I always ask you to rest and take it easy, my liege. You don't have to do anything. You can spend your time with the ladies, while I clear this game for you,] Cerberus asserted with a confident face.
"That sounds tempting, but sadly I can't do that. I am Zagreus Astaroth, son of Deus and the demon queen Lilith. I was born as a key to annihilation. Gods? Angels? Heavens? Divines?
None of that matters. If my existence is to end the era of gods, then I must live by it and do what I was born for. I… will eliminate everything that stands in my path! I will be at the top!"
Zach opened his menu and clicked on the name section. Since the players were allowed to have a nickname instead of showing their player or real name to everyone, Zach decided to set his nickname too.
He inserted the words and added a nickname.
"Not going to lie… it kind of looks edgy…"
[Hmm?]
"I set my nickname."
[What is it?]
"It's actually embarrassing to say it out loud, so I will say it only once." After a brief pause, Zach uttered, "It's 'Overlord'."
