Simon decided to push the matter of the Soul Mirror Demon to the back of his head since there was nothing he could do about it for now.
The best thing that could have happened was Zebos telling him when the Soul Mirror Demon might arrive, but unfortunately, he didn’t.
And there was no way he could ask unless he wanted to undo all the lies and manipulations he did in the interrogation room.
’What a hassle. I might have to improve my cultivation at a much quicker pace if I cannot find out when the Soul Mirror would arrive.’
’It would draw the attention of the higher ups of the clan, but I have no choice. I need to at least have so level of strength to protect myself in the eventually fallout.’
After Simon had these thoughts, Lilith suddenly spoke once again.
[Should I tell you sothing interesting about the Soul Mirror Demons?]
Simon was instantly curious. Although he knew a lot about the Soul Mirror Demons, he was curious about what a being like Lilith considered interesting enough to tell him.
[What?]
[The Soul Mirror Demons are actually the creations of the Soul Daemon... One of the most powerful Daemons. A Daemon that was on par with the Shadow Monarch... So even considered the Soul Daemon to be more powerful than the Shadow Monarch.]
Simon raised a brow. This was information he did not know, but he wondered how it was useful to him.
And Lilith accurately guessed what he was thinking.
[You’re thinking to yourself how this information is useful to you, right?]
Simon nodded slightly. [Yes.]
[Well, since you strangely have the abilities of the Devourer and you admitted to consuming the blood essence of a Devourer, you might be able to help to regain my strength at a faster rate than I initially expected.]
Simon raised a brow.
[How?]
[I’m currently weakened, and I’m also in my spirit form as you can see.]
[Currently, I’m using your Chaos Fla to slowly strengthen myself, but since you’re so weak, the effect is very little and I’m not benefitting much from your Chaos Fla.]
[If you’re able to kill a Soul Mirror Demon and you devour it, your soul would benefit and I’ll also benefit a lot more from using your Chaos Fla while you’re so weak.]
Simon had a strange expression when he heard Lilith’s words.
[So, you’re telling to kill the Soul Mirror Demon when it cos?]
[Yes. If it cos down to it.]
Simon’s expression beca even more strange.
He shook his head slightly.
[Two things... Number one. I hope you know that if the clan decides to hire a Soul Mirror Demon, the chances that it would be a Greater Demon and not even an Archfiend is very high? How do you expect to kill a Greater Demon?]
[Then you’ll just have to prepare, work harder, and get stronger faster.]
Simon’s lips could not help but twitch when he heard these words.
He had a lot he wanted to say in response to these words, but he decided to keep quiet. For so reason, his instincts and experience were warning him that he would find himself in an argunt against a woman.
And argunts like that... n rarely won.
He decided to ask the next question.
[Number two... What if it’s an Archfiend Soul Mirror Demon that arrives? Would the benefits be so massive that you’d want to kill the Soul Mirror Demon?]
[It’ll be five tis more beneficial for if you’re able to kill the Soul Mirror Demon with the Chaos Blade compared to how your Chaos Fla is nourishing , right now.]
[Demons who are creations of the Soul Daemon or related to the Soul Daemon in so way would help regain my strength faster if you kill them with the Chaos Blade.]
[And if you’re able to devour the Soul Mirror Demon, your soul would benefit greatly from it.]
Simon remained silent as he thought about everything Lilith just said.
Of course he was not going to do sothing as foolish as trying to kill the Soul Mirror Demon if it was a Greater Demon despite the benefits.
But he could not lie that he was not interested in the benefits he could gain for his soul if he ever killed and devoured the Soul Mirror Demon.
However, there was just one small problem.
[I’m sure you know that I don’t trust you, right?]
Lilith scoffed. [I’m sure you’d never trust no matter what. Isn’t that why you lied to .]
Simon’s lips curled into a light smile, but he chose not to give a response to her last statent.
[Since you know, then you should also know that I’m not going to kill the Soul Mirror Demon and allow you to benefit from it. Who knows if you’ll kill once you’re strong enough.]
[Then what do you want? For a bastard like you, I’m sure that you must want sothing in return for helping to recover my strength.]
Simon was rather pleased with the fact that Lilith knew that for him to agree to help her recover her strength, she had to give him in sothing in return.
[Why don’t we start with you.]
Before Simon could even continue his words, Lilith exclaid in a tone filled with disbelief.
[What? You want ? Boy, you’re not worthy.]
Simon’s lips twitched when he perceived the anger and killing intent.
’Strange that my heart is emitting killing intent toward .’
Simon released a soft sigh.
[You didn’t allow to finish my sentence. I ant, tell about yourself. I know about you aside from your na and the fact that you’re the daughter of Hell’s Sword Daemon.]
[I don’t know your race. I don’t know how you look like. I don’t know what you can do for . I don’t know your true rank. I don’t know so many things, Lilith.]
[So, kindly tell sothing about yourself.]
Lilith was silent for a while, then she spoke.
[I guess you’re right. If I want you to trust to a certain extent and if I want you to help regain my full strength, then I suppose I should tell you a few things about myself.]
She paused, then she inhaled deeply.
[I am actually a Hybrid... My father, Hell’s Sword Daemon, was a fallen angel and my mother was a True Dragon.]
