Demon God

"N-no way..." Desire murmured as he felt empty right in the center of his chest.

His blood started to rush to his brain as his eyes witnessed the tight shackles on his hands.

Of course, now that he saw the shackles, everything finally made sense.

It finally made sense why Desire felt that his hands were missing.

It was because what he felt were the tight shackles and not his hands!

However, Desire didn't care about that right now as he just...despaired.

After all, this situation was a hopeless one. With his hands being shackled, Desire basically had his abilities to fight cut off right off the bat.

What's more, Desire hasn't really started his training for real. There was no way Desire would be able to adjust to fighting with just his feet.

This situation...was just that bad.

It was so bad that even Desire's past experiences looked like a child's game or something.

"Is this that...as I grow older, the weird things that kept happening to me will also be harder?" Desire murmured with a helpless smile on his face.

Desire thought that it was quite the irony for him to face harsher and harder trials as he grew older.

Why? It was because as he grew older, he grew better and stronger.

He would become more knowledgeable about things, and he would also be accustomed to his powers.

And if Desire faced a trial, it should just be a piece of cake from now on as he became stronger and wiser.

Right, it should have been that way...but it was not.

The reality was different and it was relentless to anyone.

In fact, ever since Desire had the body of a child, the trials that he faced became harder compared to the trials he had when he was still a baby.

That was why Desire thought that things were really ironic and could only have a helpless smile on his face.

However, it seems that things were not over just yet as Desire could hear a voice speak to him.

No, he could hear a voice resonate around in this place.

And what that voice said was...

"Walk."

Walk. That was what the voice said, and it entered Desire's eardrums like crazy.

It echoed in and out Desire's brain, and that was why Desire finally got a hang of himself.

He realized that things would become more dangerous and bad than it is now if he messed his head over it.

Worse situations would only stay worse and become worst if one does not work their way to better the situation.

Of course, one might fail in bettering the situation, but...things would definitely stay worse if one does not move at all.

Desire knew that very well as his efforts and meticulousness were the ones that helped him in his...past trials in his life.

That was why Desire forced himself to calm down in no time at all as his eyes sharpened a little bit.

The way Desire transitioned from panicking to calm was really unbelievable as it just happened so naturally.

Well, that was one of the perks of having the Heavenly Demon Trait.

He then began to observe the place like a hawk once more as he bent down his knees to prepare himself.

He prepared himself to run away from this place as soon as Desire feels threatened.

Well, Desire already felt threatened, but what he would run away from was an actual enemy.

Anyway, it was then that Desire finally heard the same voice resonate out once more in this place and in his ears.

And what it said was...the same thing, "Walk."

Of course, when Desire heard it, he quickly whipped his head here and there as his feet took a few steps backward.

'It's near...' Desire thought as he began to let out some sort of pressure.

Desire could tell that the one who spoke was near as Desire...could literally feel it.

He could literally feel it near his ears, even though it was resounding out in this place.

However, it seems that Desire didn't have the time to look or even think about it as another voice resounded out in this place.

Right, it was another type of voice, and what it said was..."Walk."

The same thing again. It was so weird hearing the same thing being mentioned again and again, but Desire didn't let down his guard at all.

He just kept his guard high as if he was waiting to pounce on the prey that would soon come out of its hiding place.

Desire was just that focused.

However, it seems that...the voices were not done yet as they continued speaking.

"Walk."

"Walk."

The two types of voice resounded out in this place, but that was not all as another type of voice joined in.

"Walk." The voice was...extremely low, and it was extremely disturbing to hear.

But...Desire didn't have the time to mind that as the voices spoke once more.

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

This time, it wasn't just one, two, or three voices. There were so many voices that Desire didn't know how many people or monsters were speaking.

They differed from each other, and Desire somehow could identify which voice was which.

It was then that the voices spoke once more as they resounded out in this place.

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

Of course, Desire heard them all, and that was why his face was turned into a frown right now.

Instead of being alarmed by these voices, Desire...was actually getting irritated and agitated with them.

Right...he wasn't feeling alarmed or scared right now, but he was getting angry!

And that was crazy! After all, one would be more alarmed or even be disturbed when so many voices resounded out in a dark place.

What's more, Desire could hear the voices really near him. They were so near that Desire thought that they were whispering right next to his ears.

That was why...it was only normal for him to be disturbed and get mental stress from this.

However, what Desire actually got from this was anger!

What's more, Desire himself knew what kind of a situation this was.

He knew that this situation was dangerous and that it was even more dangerous for him to be angry in this situation.

But...Desire just couldn't help being angry! And as if they were mocking Desire, the voices spoke once more.

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

The voices continued speaking without any care for the world. It seems like they were made to speak the word "walk."

And it was because of this that Desire...couldn't hold it in anymore.

He couldn't hold back the anger that was raging inside him, and that was why Desire shouted out loud as veins popped out on his neck.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Desire shouted out loud, and it was with killing intent.

Desire has not realized it, but it seems that he was so angry that he was ready to kill the people who were speaking.

Well, he was always ready to kill. Desire has just not gotten the chance to kill, yet.

Anyways, when Desire shouted out loud with an overwhelming aura filled with killing intent, the voices...finally stopped.

Right, the voices finally stopped speaking the word 'walk' and the place immediately turned quiet.

"Huuu. Haaaa." Desire's breathed in and out as he tried to force himself to calm down.

Of course, as Desire was able to do this before, it was easy to do it now.

However, it was still evident that Desire was pissed off judging from how...red his eyes were.

Right, Desire's eyes were red and it was shining bright in this place.

The fact that Desire's eyes completely changed colors from blue to red was crazy and it shows how angry Desire was.

And it was with those eyes that Desire whipped his head here and there as the voices...indeed stopped talking.

A few seconds have already passed, and not one of the voices spoke anything.

It seems that Desire's shout of angry was effective as they literally went completely silent.

Of course, because of this, Desire...finally was able to breathe a little bit and calm himself down.

"Huuuuu. Haaaaa." Desire breathed in and out as he closed his eyes.

And as soon as he was finished, he quickly opened them again and his eyes...became blue again.

It seems that Desire's anger really affected something in him as this was the first time that this happened.

Well, this was the first time that Desire actually got angry about something.

Anyways, now that the voices finally stopped, Desire could finally work on analyzing the situation.

Or so that was what he thought, but...the voices seem to not have the plan to stop as they finally continued speaking.

No, it was actually one of the voices. It was the first voice who spoke the word 'walk' when Desire first came here.

However, this time the voice did not say the word 'walk,' but instead...

"Sorry."

Right, it was an apology. And as if they already rehearsed this, the voices spoke once more.

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry."

The voices resounded out in this place as they all apologized to Desire all at the same time.
