"Big brother? Kid, are you mocking ?" The jet-black monster worm glared at and an ominous aura covered my monster worm body.
"Was I not obvious enough?" I asked the devil with a scorn-filled gaze.
"How dare you a puny mortal look down on ," The ominous aura oozing out of the jet-black monster worm strengthened by a few folds.
"Shut the fuck up, Belphegor," I cussed Belphegor knowing that he could not hurt since I knew his true na.
"..." the jet-black monster worm glared at but did not dare to speak a word. But his glare spoke all he wanted to say.
"I bet you are regretting your choice to beco a devil rchant right about now aren't you, Belphegor?" I taunted Belphegor.
"Regret? Kid, you still don't know what true regret is," Belphegor said grudgingly
"Woo…, I am so scared," I continued with my antics as I needed Belphegor railed up so that I could get him to do sothing stupid in a fit of rage.
"Fuck you, damned mortal, do you not care about that girl's life and death?" Belphegor cussed and brought up Anna to remind that I did not have enough ti.
"I don't know, you tell . After all, you are the devil. You must have sensed who all are in the surrounding by now, right? With so many people watching over her, she doesn't need to save her," I bluffed. Hopefully, the devil will buy it.
My bluff wasn't without rit, I had heard the enemy demigod say that field marshal Heatsend would step in or sothing. Hearing the Heatsend na I knew that it was one of Anna's strong relatives. For so reason, this relative of Anna had not made a move yet but the devil did not know that. So I used this relative of Anna as a prop for my bluff. Optimistically, this prop was enough for the devil to buy my bluff.
"Kid, tell the real reason behind why you summoned ?" Belphegor was aware of the powerful presence in his surroundings that could threaten him. But he was not worried as the devil rchant code would protect him as long as he abided by the rules.
"You tell ," I said, trying to sound mysterious. It was bugging that I did not know how the devil knew that I summoned it to save Anna but now that I had tricked it into thinking otherwise, I felt a little better. And confird that the devil cannot read minds but it just made an educated guess based on clues in the surrounding. Especially the ring that my monster worm body had dawned, if one were to carefully scrutinize it they would realize that the ring did not belong to but Anna. From there, it was easy speculation and assumption hoping that you got it right.
"I give up, you tell what you want?" Belphegor gave up without even trying. It seems he was losing patience now that he was no longer in control of the conversation.
As a devil, Belphegor believes to think of himself as the smartest person anywhere he goes but now that he realized he wasn't Belphegor was losing patience.
Usually, those that summoned him would do so out of helplessness or greed but the one in front of him did not show either. Instead, this custor led him to believe that he was helpless and desperate to make a devil's pact, and used that sentint to get him to reveal various information he would never share with a custor.
Fear, confusion, naivety, desperation, anger, revenge, helplessness, greed, lust, etc, these emotions were the elents Belphegor used to play with those that summoned him and trick them into selling their special mortal souls for nothing but today it was different, the custor that summoned him was using these elents to play with him, the devil.
Belphegor naively believed his custor was helpless and desperate to sign a devil's pact. Then was confused having learned that his custor was neither helpless nor disparate to sign a devil's pact.
The presence of two special mortal souls ignited greed in Belphegor's greedy heart. He would do anything or go to any lengths to own these two special mortal souls.
The mortal custor knew his true na along with that the presence of mortals that had neared transcendence raised fear in his dauntless mind.
This custor used his true na to treat him like an average servant and keep insulting him every chance he got, which enraged Belphegor and left him wanting to take revenge on this mortal.
For the first ti, Belphegor felt regret, his pride as a devil had taken a huge hit being led by his nose by a custor.
He was embarrassed, he wanted to leave and send an army of demon worshipers to hunt this mortal down but he did not leave as his greed for two special mortal souls wouldn't let him do that.
All in all, Belphegor felt like his many victims, which only enraged and embarrassed him further. So much so that Belphegor started to fantasize about the various ways he would torture the special soul of this custor of his once he gets his hands on it.
"If you want to play like that then fine, have it your way," Seeing Belphegor show no resistance I knew he wanted to let think I outsmarted him and reveal what I really wanted from him.
Therefore I looked straight into the beady eyes of the jet-black monster worm and said, "Let start by telling you what you want. You want my special soul along with that semi-demigod chick's special soul. But you are not willing to pay the full price for both souls. You want to get them at the price of one or even less. That is where I co in, and why you keep bringing that girl up. You plan to use to descend to this world and harvest both of our special souls. Feel free to correct if I missed sothing."
"..." the jet-black monster worm looked away from my eyes, fearing they could read his mind.
"Belphegor, I said feel free to add anything I missed," I commanded Belphegor to answer even though I knew that I could not use the devil's true na to force it to answer anything not related to trade because it did not matter to as I did this as a power move.
"Kid, you seem to be forgetting who you are talking to," Belphegor thundered.
Ignoring the devil's fiery emotions I commanded it, "Belphegor, tell the price for you to recomnd to beco a demon rchant."
Earlier, I sidetracked a little to get the tensions high enough for to get Belphegor to promise what I wanted despite his sense of judgnt telling him otherwise.
