Lord of the Truth

918  Sakaarʼs hidden kingdom

46 years ago-- In front of a cave in the Eastern Region

”Oh?” A male Nihari Giant dressed in black accidentally landed in front of a cave with a very narrow entrance, barely allowing anyone to enter or exit, ”I smell a familiar stench here...”

That Giant was not weak at all, his aura said that he was a mid-level Dragon (Sage), in any tribe or army he would have his own status, yet here he was wandering in the forests wearing traditional civilian clothes, the only thing eye-catching about him was a red ribbon wrapped around his left shoulder.

That ribbon meant that he was one of the Demon Control Task Force.

*Paa* *Paa* The giant took out something like white powder and sprinkled it on himself and rubbed it on his wrists, then he walked towards the cave *step* *step* and stuck his head first through the entrance, ”Tsk~ As I expected, that stench is the same everywhere, how can I miss it?” The giant muttered in disgust.

In fact, the cave was much wider inside, only the entrance was narrow... and now standing right in front of him were two demons talking to each other by secreting foul odors from things that looked like gills on their necks, and even with the giantʼs head entering to be a few feet away from them, they didnʼt flinch and continued their chat normally.

”Haha~” The giant squeezed himself through the entrance and got in while laughing at the sight of the two demons, then he took out a dagger and simply stabbed one of the demons in its stinky gills, ”Die!”

”Ugh...” The demon fell to his knees, clutching his neck, not knowing what had suddenly happened.

ʼWhatʼs wrong with you? Whatʼs wrong with you?ʼ His colleague noticed his strange behavior and quickly approached him to examine him quickly, and found him drowned in his blood, he was already dead.

The second demon began to sniff around him like a madman, baring his fangs and slashing the air with his claws, hoping to find what caused his colleagueʼs death, but to no avail!

”Tsk~ Stupid monsters.” The giant muttered from behind that terrified demon, then spat on the ground, then continued on his way inside, preferring to let the terror ravage him for a while before he killed him on his way out.

Reducing the number of those demons has always been a dirty and unprofitable job, so each member of the Demon Control Task Force finds his own way to have some fun while doing their job!

...The cave was dark and narrow, with too many branches, it appeared like it was carved in the shape of a maze. This cave was carved with the fangs and claws of the demons in this way, and the smell of rotting corpses and a mixture of other odors spread throughout it, specifically to keep them safe from that thing that kills them and kidnaps their children.

But when the giant saw this, he laughed out loud, then took out a torch and lit it, put his other hand on his nose to keep away those foul smells, then continued on his way, stepping on bones and remains wherever he took a step, ”I have to ask for an increase in wages, coming to this filthy place for a handful of pearls is a scam in itself!”

That cave was designed according to the narrow perspective of the demons who see the world only through their powerful noses, for them who see other creatures as a mass of moving scent, they cannot comprehend that those creatures have other senses that they can use to find their way.

The Demons do not know what hearing or sight is, and for those who have experienced something before, they will not understand it no matter how much it is explained to them, they are not like some blind humans who see blackness in front of them, they do not have eyes or ears at all, and therefore they do not have any information from these two senses.

It is like asking a human to see through his knee or hear through his stomach!

So to them, whoever kills their cubs is like a ghost, and just as humans donʼt know how to deal with ghosts and try to close physical doors or sprinkle salt or whatever they can think of, the demons also have no means of defense!

”Oh? Hehe, here we go~” While the giant was moving through the clumsy maze, he happened to see in one of the alleys a few female demons and around them more than 20 cubs.

The difference between female and male demons was not very clear, as the reproductive organs are preserved inside the bodies of the male and female and only come out during mating, and the females do not have breasts like human mutants to breastfeed their cubs, since the cub is born they rely on vomit and the meat of insects and small reptiles as their main food...

Of course, anyone who studies the experts closely will find that the females are a little shorter and their shoulders are less broad, and the females are responsible for taking care of their many children due to the short gestation period, which makes them less strong due to their lack of time to train their battle power and their lack of participation in hunting... And of course, they have a distinctive smell that only their kind can smell~

ʼYou must.. grow up fast.. you must.. grow up fast..ʼ One of the females in that alley was vomiting some food to feed her cubs, and at the same time, she was emitting a distinctive smell from her nostrils to tell the cubs to eat quickly.

Usually only one in a hundred cubs survives their first few years, meaning that a female who gives birth to hundreds of cubs will only see 3 or 4 of them reach adulthood, and for a mother, even for a demon mother, it was heartbreaking.

ʼYou must.. grow up fast.. you must-- ah!!ʼ That female let out a screaming sound when she smelled a different smell from one of her sons, and when she quickly checked him she found him dead, ʼItʼs... happening! Protect... the cubs!!ʼ

ʼAh!!ʼ The rest of the females let out screaming sounds as well and hugged their cubs as well

But no way

”Hahaha, well now I remember why I stayed in this job, this part is fun hahaha!” The giant simply walked between them and grabbed the cubsʼ heads and then broke them with ease in their mothersʼ arms, ”Die! You too die and go with your brother! Die! Hahaha”

ʼAAHH!!ʼ ʼHelp!!ʼ

*Crack*

”Hmm?” The sound of breaking stones came from behind the giant, so he quickly looked towards the entrance to the alley, and found what was blocking it...

It was a huge crimson demon with two horns coming out of where his eyes were supposed to be, long white hair, and a pointed chin.

The giant frowned upon seeing this sight, and his brows sank even more when he felt the goblinʼs aura, ”A high-level demon king? How?!”
