I never run out of mana Pt. 2

chapter 113

"Human. I'm only telling you this. The way to return back from the demonic realm...."

"Yes, of course."

"Keru. It is possible if you're the demon king."

"That's obvious. I'm asking you how I can return back though? Do I need to obtain Authority somehow? Isn't there a way?"

"Kel. Human, it is possible if you become the demon king. The demon king. If you have more magical energy than any other monster, you will obtain powers that will make you omniscient and omnipotent."

"Oho..... So I just need to have the most magical power in the demonic realm, right? I like the sound of that."

"Keru. However, why are you asking me this? When you go to the demonic realm, you won't be able to return, human. You will be sacrificed to sir Berdan."

"Just because. Humans around my age are curious about many things."

"Seems pointless."

"This is enough for now. Are you going out later?"

"Keru. I was going to originally, but I love steaks too much, human."

"Right? Going outside is a pain and there's not much to see. Let's just stay at home."

"Keruru. All right. Speak with the woman who cooks the steak for me. I want to eat more steak."

"All right. For now, let's sleep. I'm tired."

"Keru?"

During the 6 hours I tried to sleep, Karin didn't cease for even a moment jumping up and down on the mattress.

I felt anger towards the furniture salesman who guaranteed me that the mattress would not shake even if an elephant was running around.

I brought him steaks every hour, but it was no use.

He did not calm down in the slightest, and even followed me to Jong Ho's room when I tried to escape in order to catch some shuteye.

After the 6 hellish hours passed, I opened my eyes.

"Karin. Aren't you going back to the demonic realm yet?"

"Keru? There is still two more days left."

I probably have already obtained most of the information I needed.

Thinking about the times when I lost so much sleep over nightmares, the 3 day period felt far too long.

I continued to question Karin while avoiding going too far to the point that it would cause him to become suspicious.

I asked about the weaknesses of the monsters, the Authority that Berdan and the demon king possessed, and such topics, but he shrewdly kept himself from giving straight answers.

Even though it was clear to me that he was a dumb goblin, he probably thinks for himself to a certain degree.

Also, I had to acknowledge his loyalty to Berdan.

Maybe it was a specific trait of the monsters.

After all, it was the same case for the thousands of monsters that gave their lives without question to Zekill's command.

I waited and waited until the 3 days he decided to stay passed.

Just like how he tore the fabric of space open when he appeared, he did it again to make a gateway back to the demonic realm.

"Keru. I feel sad that we have to part ways, human. I think I'll miss you."

"Huh? I think you'll miss the steak, not me though?"
