True Magician

Chapter 60

Underworld.

Goetia looked at Sirzechs, and Sirzechs looked at Goetia. For that matter, so did Greyfia and Katerea. They didn't know exactly who he was, but they had a sense of who he should be.

I, on the other hand, watched them from the sidelines and just quietly sipped my coffee.

By the way, the top three factions chose to withhold information about the Beasts. Which is understandable, considering the possible turmoil not only in the three factions themselves, but also in other mythologies.

I was left to speculate as to what the demons were thinking as they studied Goetia. Well, Beast I's energy signature is very recognizable to demons, even considering he's from another world. It's not because he is an amalgamation of the Demon Pillars, but because his entire essence is imbued with the energy of 'hell'.

The original demons of both the Nasuverse and DxD were born from this energy. Ancient, powerful, and significant. This means that any local demon in Goetia's presence will feel a familiar, yet not so familiar aura. Which is actually what's happening right now.

Also, one fact has only recently occurred to me. Goetia, who used to use 'we', now uses 'I'. Does this mean that he has realized himself and developed his own identity?

Thinking about this, I wiped away a fatherly tear and looked at Goetia with pride.

I am so proud of him. Children grow up so fast.

As soon as these thoughts ran through my mind, Beast I slowly turned towards me with a stoic face. But I could clearly see the edge of his mouth twitching, apparently in irritation.

- "Put such thoughts out of your head, Romani. They only insult me."

- "Oh? But that doesn't make them any less true, does it?" I grinned, "You wouldn't have noticed it before. You'd have thought you were above it all and just bolted, but somehow that's not the case now, is it, Goetia?"

In response, he chose to remain silent. At the same time, Sirzechs, Greyfia, and Katerea rounded their eyes when they heard me call him.

- "Go... etia..." Sirzechs muttered, "So it's you, right?"

- "You are right, Sirzechs Gremory. I am Goetia, King-God of Demons and the antipode of Heaven itself and its power. I am judge, jury and executioner for the entire race of demons if they break the ancient laws. Laws enacted for the preservation and prosperity of the Underworld." he said dramatically, his face unchanged.

- "Ooh, that's hot. If you were a woman, I'd give it to you." I said casually, waving to myself, to which I received a twitching eyebrow from Goetia and complete ignoring from the demons.

- "You were the one who was there then, right?" Rea-chan asked, looking at Beast I with an almost worshipful gaze.

- "There? Back then?" Sirzechs didn't understand, "Did it have something to do with the wave of demonic energy from the direction of Lucifer's old castle?"

- "That's right." Goetia nodded, ignoring Sirzechs.

- "But I've heard my ancestor's voice, and yours doesn't sound like his. May I ask why, Your Majesty?"

- "Your ancestor's?" Sirzechs raised an eyebrow and looked at Rea-chan, "What do you mean, Lady Leviathan?"

Of course, she ignored him. Goetia, on the other hand, slowly looked over the three demons present and placed his hand on the armrest of the chair, then tapped it twice with his finger.

In the next moment, Sirzechs, Katerea, and Greyfia froze, and their demonic wings opened by themselves as if to salute someone.
