I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 557 - 321: An Unsavory Soul

Like a big-headed doll.

This is the bodily reaction of an Elemental Demon when in fear.

It stammered for mercy, quickly trying to remedy the situation: "M-M-Master! Although I lack the power to lift curses, the Cruel Demon King certainly has the ability. It’s just two days until its day of birth, and I can take this opportunity to request it to lift the curse!"

Hearing this, Rogel squinted his eyes.

Earlier, when Prometheus said he couldn’t lift the curse, Rogel was indeed planning to kill this guy on the spot.

After all, a demon with no value to offer is of no use to him.

But this guy reacted quickly and came up with a remedy in no time.

"The Cruel Demon King?"

Rogel repeated.

Upon hearing this, Prometheus promptly explained to Rogel: "Yes, Master, the Cruel Demon King is a High Demon, and one of the strongest Demon Kings. It must be able to resolve your troubles."

Rogel, hearing this, did not respond immediately but stared at him for a long time.

Being stared at, Prometheus felt a chill in his heart, foreseeing his imminent death.

He gritted his teeth and said: "If you trust me, I will ask the Cruel Demon King to remove this curse for you on its day of birth."

Fortunately, after a while, Rogel shifted his gaze to the Illusory Black Stone.

"Can you discern the source of this curse?"

Rogel asked.

Even though he didn’t respond to me, Prometheus knew that at least for now, he wouldn’t die, which allowed him to let out a breath of relief.

"This curse is different from ordinary demon curses. It seems to be mixed with some other unknown forces... That’s also why I cannot lift it..."

"To remove such a curse, it seems we’d need a higher-tier demon who is proficient in curses..."

Prometheus gave his answer.

"So, does that mean this curse is still related to demons?"

Rogel pondered.

Uvie Muzhe was cursed amidst the Starry Sky; could it be that there are demons amidst the Starry Sky too?

"Y-Yes."

Prometheus responded in a low voice, fearing this powerful human in front of him might kill him under some pretext.

"Alright, then I’ll stay here for two days."

"If the curse isn’t lifted after two days, then I’ll send you, this demon, to Heaven."

Rogel put away the Illusory Black Stone and gave Prometheus a friendly smile.

Prometheus: "..."

Though he felt stifled, Prometheus could only bear the humiliation and nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Rogel planned to stay here for now.

Prometheus eagerly began making arrangements for Rogel.

Meanwhile, Rogel brought up the matter concerning Qiao Wei.

Not daring to hide anything, Prometheus told the truth straightforwardly.

The affair with Qiao Wei was rather simple.

He was, in fact, an utter scoundrel, a drunkard, and a gambler.

His wife and child indeed existed but had long been sold off to a brothel and human traffickers by him.

He signed a contract with the demon merely because he lacked gambling capital.

And the reason Qiao Wei’s soul showed signs of damage was because...

"... I once bet with another demon. That guy wagered that I couldn’t consume such a foul soul..."

At this point, Prometheus was a bit angry.

"... Damn it, he won. I really couldn’t swallow that overwhelmingly foul soul..."

"So you repaired his soul and weaved a lie for him to work for you for eternity?" Rogel said.

He suspected that it couldn’t be that coincidental that all three out of four family members had terminal illnesses at the same time.

It turned out to be a ridiculous lie made up by Prometheus.

"Yes, only by making him like this would he stop being lazy... Master, do you need me to let him go?" Prometheus cautiously asked, thinking Rogel might stand up for Qiao Wei since both were human.

"No need, you’ve done well."

But Rogel didn’t intend to free such scum.

A filthy soul even a demon despises... let him keep mining...
