Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 427 426- Hell\'s Spawn

Unlike the previous forest, the ones they were currently passing through were well known for monsters and monster hunters that roamed and lurked in the shadows, waiting for the passersby to let their guard down and attack them.

Asmodeus, who was a demon and grew up in the higher hell, was very wary of everything, but Zach, on the other hand, was nonchalant until… they came across the monster\'s den.

They were walking while chatting, teasing each other, and passing jokes. Suddenly, Zach sensed an unknown presence. Of course, he inspected the area but couldn\'t see anyone.

He was certain that it was yet another general lord of the demon lord. Just like when he couldn\'t see or sense the emperor of the mist, he couldn\'t see what he had sensed.

When he turned to Asmodeus to tell her, the expression on her face evidently showed that she had also realized it.

Zach found it strange as to why the general lords of the demon lord couldn\'t be seen or, in some cases, sensed. If it was someone other than Zach, they would have been long dead, as they would have never realized anything was wrong.

Even Asmodeus wouldn\'t have known it if it wasn\'t for her spirit sword, which could somehow sense them.

Zach and Asmodeus had stepped into a domain cast by the general, and the domain constantly spawned monsters from all sides.

It was a new type of domain that wasn\'t visible until they stepped inside it. Or perhaps, it was an inactive domain that got triggered by sensing someone\'s presence.

It had been an hour since Asmodeus and Zach entered the domain, and no matter how many monsters they killed, more just spawned. When Asmodeus tried to run away, the domain split into two and followed her.

But when she returned to Zach, hoping the domain would merge and she would fight alongside Zach, but that didn\'t happen. Asmodeus was stuck in a different domain, and she was having a hard time after fighting for an hour straight.

"What should we do now?!" Asmodeus yelled. "My hands have become heavy! I can no longer keep this up! I can\'t even breathe properly! Do something!"

On the other hand, Zach was enjoying himself as he felt the rush that reminded him of his early days in Gods\' Impact when he cleared the dungeons. But he wasn\'t getting any EXP or rewards for killing the monster in the domain, so he didn\'t feel motivated enough.

"The domain won\'t vanish, and the monsters won\'t stop spawning until we find the caster. And I think that coward shit is nearby since the domain is so strong."

[Hihahaha! You are wrong, outsider!] a voice echoed in the domain.

"Oh, great. The coward is here." Zach turned to Asmodeus and said, "Hey, Asmo! Why don\'t you turn your sassy mode on and inflict some emotional damage to this coward like you did with that emperor of shit!"

"I don\'t have time for that! Please, do something. Or I will die!"

[That\'s right! You both will die! This is not an ordinary domain! This is a living domain! This is my hell\'s spawn! My domain is connected to the core of the first hell, and it will never run out of power!

So even if you manage to find me and kill me— which you obviously wouldn\'t— the domain will still stay active. No matter what you do, you cannot escape my hell\'s spawn! You both will die here, so why not stop struggling and die?!]

"Wow, that\'s actually a great idea, not going to lie. It makes a lot of sense. Why should we try to struggle when we can do nothing?"

Zach raised his hand in the air and slowly walked towards the other domain.

"Asmo." He calmly called out to Asmodeus and said, "Put the sword down. You don\'t have to fight. Don\'t do anything."

"What do you mean?!" She shouted while slashing a monster\'s neck and stabbing two others in one strike.

"Look into my eyes."

"I don\'t have time to do anything! Can\'t you see!" She pointed her finger behind Zach and said, "Watch out! The monster is—"

Asmodeus ended up looking into Zach\'s eyes and let go of her sword.

"Do you trust me?" he asked.

Asmodeus nodded and said, "You have already saved me once, so my life now belongs to you. Even if you wish to do… to make love with my body, I can\'t say no because I would have already been dead if you hadn\'t saved me."

Zach had used his demonic eyes that asserted his dominance over those weaker than him. They would drop to their knees and follow Zach\'s order. If he asked them to kill themselves, they would do it without asking any questions.

It was absolute submission.

However, it worked differently on Asmodeus as she was stronger than Zach in demon form. Zach only had demonic eyes, while Asmodeus was a pure demon.

When Zach asked Asmodeus if she trusted him, she couldn\'t lie to him because she was charmed by Zach\'s demonic eyes. And she answered honestly what and how she felt.

Zach ignored what Asmodeus said and focused on his plan.

After fighting the monster for an hour and learning that the domain was hell\'s spawn, Zach noticed that only twenty demons could stay in the domain at once.

If he killed one, one would spawn. But no matter how many he killed or how many spawned, the number of monsters in the domain didn\'t exceed twenty.

Therefore, Zach used his demonic eyes to assert his dominance against the monsters and stopped them from attacking. He did the same with the monsters inside Asmodues\' domain.

Now, there were two domains with a total of forty monsters who couldn\'t do anything.

Zach\'s plan was to provoke the caster and make him appear before him, so he could obliterate him for wasting their time.
