Give me food! I'm so hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence hung heavy in the air before the group erupted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THAT's WHAT YOU WANT?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azazel tilted his head to the side, displaying audacious indifference as he stared at Ren and the others as though they were utter idiots. \"What else would I want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren sighed, feeling utterly drained. He couldn't fathom the sheer obnoxiousness and peculiarity of demons and devils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this truly the Nether Realm, rumored to be the dwelling place of sinister demons and cunning devils?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It dawned on him that Azazel was a demon, his two small horns perched on the sides of his head serving as a clear identifier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Nether Realm, demons and devils were distinguished by their horns, and the number of horns they possessed indicated their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And pray, tell us, why should we give you our food?\" Elena questioned the boy, her skepticism apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! I'm not sharing this,\" Princess Lorelai declared, sticking out her tongue and swiftly devouring the remaining meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren flashed her the side eye. Could she not display even a modicum of proper manners? She was a princess, for heaven's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai was renowned throughout the Renais Empire as the most beautiful, elegant, and refined woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only the public knew the truth about her real demeanor, Ren thought bitterly. The players would be shocked if they witnessed her true nature, and a lot of hearts would cry at this information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on now,\" Azazel whined, desperation seeping into his voice. \"I'm so hungry I could die. Please spare me some. Do you really want to see me die here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't care,\" Elena stated bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can die now,\" Nori added, her tone cold and unforgiving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be so mean,\" Azazel shifted into a sitting position and said, a sly smile playing on his lips, \"I will tell you a secret that only I know in exchange for that meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai raised an eyebrow. \"Who are you kidding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori's ears perked up in intrigue. \"A secret?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena crossed her arms. Skepticism was etched on her face. \"Are you trying to trick us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren and Evie considered the possibility that it might be part of a story or quest, and they could gain something valuable by feeding Azazel and helping him . . . or so, that's how that story always went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well,\" Ren tossed a large chunk of meat in Azazel's direction, and the boy jumped and caught it with his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you a dog?\" Ren remarked while slightly shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ren, are you sure?\" Elena asked, her concern evident. \"He might be trying to trick us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right,\" Princess Lorelai chimed in. \"It's a waste of good meat on him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren remained silent, his gaze fixed on Azazel, who swiftly devoured the meat within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More!\" Azazel demanded, reaching his fingers towards Ren with an open palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai swiftly struck him on the head. \"Enough of your games! Tell us the secret if you want to live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright,\" Azazel gave up, and his demeanor changed to one of seriousness. \"But can I at least have one more piece of meat before I spill the beans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You . . .\" Princess Lorelai was on the verge of slicing his head off, but Azazel managed to dodge just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll tell you,\" he said hastily, sensing the danger. \"Just stop attacking me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better tell her before she chops off your head,\" Elena chimed in, her tone impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine. You surface dwellers are so serious,\" Azazel complained, sitting on the edge of Tiki's tail once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms and legs, preparing to reveal the secret that could change the Nether Realm forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai sheathed her weapon when she felt that the atmosphere shifted and focused her attention on Azazel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren and the others watched, curious, waiting for Azazel to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The secret is . . .\" Azazel began, hesitating for a moment before finally deciding to spill the beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air became almost unbearable, leaving Nori feeling a lump in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The secret is . . .\" Azazel paused, his eyes shutting briefly before reopening, revealing red veins coursing through them. With an air of grandiosity, he proclaimed, \"I am the true King of the Netherworld!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence hung in the air for a moment before Princess Lorelai and Elena lunged at Azazel, unleashing a flurry of kicks and punches upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Azazel endured the blows, Ren let out a sigh. \"Well, at least he knows how to get our hopes up for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid really is the devil,\" Evie commented dryly. \"He could spin a tale out of thin air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori let out a heavy breath. \"It's nothing new. Ever since the king of the Netherworld died, there have been thousands pretending to be him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm different, you know,\" Azazel said through swollen lips and lumpy face, a hint of pride amidst his battered state. Despite his injuries, he managed a defiant smile, pointing to himself. \"I'm the real deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai snorted in frustration. \"This devil really infuriates me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't believe anything he says from now on,\" Elena added firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azazel smirked, and crossed his arms despite his pain. \"Heh. You'll regret not believing me. Once I regain my powers, you'll be sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening one blackened eye, he forced a grin that twisted into a grimace due to his injuries. \"But I'll overlook this transgression and forgive you . . . for another piece of that meat, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish!\" Princess Lorelai and Elena chimed in unison, their voices filled with scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azazel spat on the ground defiantly. \"Stingy lot, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up,\" Elena growled, clearly irritated. \"What a waste of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And a waste of precious meat,\" Princess Lorelai added, echoing her sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he knew how to infuriate two Princesses. Ren mused to himself before they ignored Azazel completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, Evie tugged at Ren's clothes and pointed at Azazel. \"Hey, what's wrong with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-09T06:03:36.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","37c89929a1d41132d48848de3598832617619711e432c633c73d2f07ce897d9f","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-696","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-694",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-cover.jpg"]
