Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Emilia was glancing around the hall to look for Nero with a plate in her hand. After walking for a few seconds, she spotted Nero standing near the food stall, eating berries.

'There he is!' She immediately rushed to Nero with a serious look on her face.

"Found you!" she said as she handed her plate to Nero.

"Where have you been? I even sent Asteria to look for you," Nero asked with a concerned look on his face.

"This hall is so big, and there are so many people." Emilia squinted her eyes and said, "You could easily find me using your god's eyes, though."

"Yeah, but my god's eye is not working efficiently after I… I went…" Nero pointed his finger at his left eye and said, "After this."

Emilia grabbed a loaf of bread and dipped it into jam. Then, she moved her hand towards Nero and fed him.

Emilia licked her finger and asked, "What is this thick paste?"

"It's called jam," Nero answered. "It's made from fruits and some other ingredients."

"I love it. Can we get this for our travels?"

"We already have a tasty jam at home," Nero replied with a grin.

"We do?" Emilia wondered with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yes." Nero nodded and pointed his gaze downwards.

"..." Emilia was speechless.

Nero grinned wider and uttered, "Your favorite Nero's special white jam with no chemicals; 100% natural."

"...."

Emilia puffed her cheeks and averted her face to the side. She was genuinely looking forward to getting jams, but Nero's joke ruined her mood.

SIGH!

Nero sighed and stuffed the bread filled with jam in Emilia's mouth.

"As long as we have fruits, we can make jam anytime," Nero asserted.

Emilia chewed and swallowed the bread in a rush and asked, "Really?"

"Yeah."

Emilia hugged Nero with a wide smile on her face.

'Who knew she would choose jam over my natural juice.' Nero thought to himself.

After a brief moment, Sophia and Asteria approached Nero.

Sophia smacked on Emilia's head and gave her a speech.

"Still, breakfast is like lunch here," Asteria uttered.

After eating breakfast, they went to the lounge where Horus' wife and mistresses were playing a game.

They were sitting in a circle with a musical instrument in the middle. The game was about telling poems, and whoever got the most score was considered the winner.

Emilia glanced at Nero with an obvious look on her face and waited for Nero's response.

Nero nodded and uttered, "I will be going out with Horus. So you girls can play and do whatever you want in the meantime."

Emilia pulled Nero's sleeve and said in a low voice: "I can't understand the language. What should I do?"

Nero glanced at Asteria and asked, "What about you?"

Asteria shook her head and answered, "I can't understand either."

Nero placed his right hand on Asteria's shoulder and his left hand on Emilia's shoulder and looked at Sophia.

"Sophi will be your interpreter."

SIGH!

Sophia sighed in disbelief and uttered, "I knew it would come to this."

Emilia turned to Sophia and said, "It's not our fault that we don't know the foreign languages."

"I don't know these languages as well," Sophia stated and continued, "But I am an angel, so I have the ability to understand every language."

"What about Nero? How does he know all the languages?" Emilia asked curiously.

"Because he is weird," Sophia answered nonchalantly.

"I am not weird," Nero retorted. "I am versatile, and I can learn any language after listening to only three sentences of the said language."

  Nero smirked and uttered with a smug look on his face, "I am talented."

Emilia, Sophia, and Asteria joined the game; meanwhile, Nero waited for Horus to finish his kingly duty.

After some minutes, Horus came running to the lounge and stopped in front of Nero.

"I am sorry for being late," Horus apologized with sincerity in his voice.

"You better be."

Nero and Horus left the palace and flew to the sea.

"It's been three months, so all the evidence is gone," Horus stated.

He landed on the ground, but Nero hovered in the sky.

"Oi Horus!" Nero called out to Horus and asked, "You said the remains of the Kraken were flooded to this beach. So where are they?"

Horus flapped his wings and flew in the air. Then he gestured to Nero to follow him.

Horus took Nero to the end of the beach where the surface was uneven, as though something was buried underground.

Nero glanced around at the surface and asserted, "This doesn't look enough. Where is the rest of the body?"

"Only the tentacles… or should I say legs? We haven't found the rest of the body yet," Horus informed.

Nero raised his brows and muttered, "If the body was in the sea, then Cthulhu wouldn't have gotten angry. And only the tentacles of the Kraken were washed to the shore. So that must mean the rest of the Kraken's body is with those hunters."

"Does that mean…" Horus began to stammer on his words as he couldn't believe what he was going to say.

"Yeah. There are chances that Chtulhu's daughter might be alive."

"That's the great news!" Horus cheered in excitement.

"I said 'might'. She can be dead too," Nero remarked and thought, 'But how in the hell did they manage to injure the queen of the sea? They even carried her body somewhere.'

"I can be a great detective," Nero murmured. "Detective Nero."

"Nero!" Horus called out to Nero and said, "I think you should see this."

Nero landed on the ground beside Horus and looked at the sand on the ground.

"What is it?" Nero asked. "There is nothing to see."

"I have the ability to restore things, alive or inanimate," Horus asserted. "I have a small piece of flesh off the Kraken. And if I cast the restoration spell and use my ability, this piece of flesh can take us to the Kraken's body."

"Now that's an impressive ability."

Horus closed his eyes and cast the restoration spell on the flesh.

"Found it!."
