"Half demons, the fall of the Voss family, the twilight association…!"
"It's all making sense!"
Recalling more and more information, the light in Damien's eyes began to shine brighter and brighter
It seems his parents had truly left him a good surprise.
*Although it's been twelve years, the more I thought about the downfall of the Voss family, the more I realised that something was wrong*
*In the original story, sure, the second prince was a major cause, but then again, it also stated that the whole empire launched a coalition against the Voss family, wiping them all out*
*If half-demons were involved, then launching a coalition would not be out of the question.*
Muttering inwardly, Damien's eyes flashed, a hint of understanding running through his blue pupils.
*In this world of Elias, over the course of the years, major wars have occurred one after the other, each a defining moment in history, symbolising the birth of a new era.*
*And among them, one of the major ones was the God and demon war thousands of years ago*

Taking another look at her property panel, a certain paragraph of the novel flashed through his mind.
"With magic like wizards, and strength like Gods"
"with the hatred like fire, and mind like man"
"The demon's laughter engulfed the land"
"With might so strong the heavens wept"
"Under their might, the earth was ripped"
Whispering, Damien recalled the description of disasters caused by demons, both in the past and in the future. Demons were always a major cause of the world's destruction
And after the last war, a bunch of demons unable to return to the abyss, remained on earth and mated with natural life, thus giving birth to half demons
Beings which look the same as their non-demon half, however, after awakening, exhibit various forms of demonetization
Awakening immense strength and ability in the process, adding to the demon's natural innate affinity for mana, they could be called geniuses of their own race
"Unfortunately, because the demonisation process often led to countless casualties, as the person being demonised, more often than not, lost control"
"This side effect made them be scorned and hated, resulting in their slaughter over the past thousands of years"
"Most empires, including the dragon empire, have a law for all half-demons to be killed on sight"
"Yet, mom and dad still decided to raise one? Interesting..."
Looking at Isabelle's still-shocked, confused face, Damien didn't say anything. Rather, he silently activated his newly awakened contract gem ability.
"Contract gem ability! Activate!" whispering silently, he suddenly felt all the mana in his body gather onto his arms
In an instant, the surrounding winds began to stir, and his body began to feel hollow
And Isabelle, in front of him, seeing this new, her young master was about to do something strange again
However, she also knew she could not stop him
"Young master, please be okay…"
"Also, after this, give me a heads up before you do anything else…" Trying to joke it off, the obvious worry in Isabelle's eye could not be hidden as she spoke.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry long this time, as apart from feeling hollowed, nothing major happened to Damien.
"Ugh… why is it that all my abilities feel like they're going to kill me whenever I use them?" Said Damien
At this time, everything had ended, and in his hand was a crystal-blue diamond-shaped gem.
"Isabelle, I remember not long ago, you said you trusted me? Then eat thi-!'
Stretching out his hand, Damien was about to explain to her what the gem was; however, before he could say anything, she snatched it, eating it on the spot.
*Gulp!*
Swallowing it on the spot, Isabelle smiled at Damien, finally feeling she had surprised her young master for the first time.
"Let me guess, that is meant to make me stronger? As long as it makes me stronger, then that's all I need to know"
"As long as I don't have to watch either you, master, or the madam struggle in pain"
"As long as when the wind comes heavy and I can stand as proud maid, holding the umbrella for her young master"
"If I'm able to do all this, then do I really need to know what that was?"
Smiling without a care in the world, Isabelle said her true feelings without filter.
This carriage ride, although not long into it, had time and time again reminded her of her own insignificance
Now seeing away for her to fix that, how dare she hesitate?
A reaction that made Damien smile slightly
"Sigh… should I say as expected of you?"
"Anyways, it's fine if you're okay with it, how do you feel?"
Looking at her deeply, Damien was curious how the contract gem effect worked since the original novel was never adapted; he couldn't visualise it
Luckily, judging from the fact that she was still able to talk, it didn't seem painful
"How does it feel? It feel-!"
Just as Isabelle was about to explain, a huge change suddenly occurred.
"hot..! hot…! young master, I feel hot!"
With a face flushed red, Isabelle suddenly began to feel her temperature rise, the surrounding air became heavy, and she started feeling like something was about to burst through her head.
"isabelle! Are you oka-!"
"Damn! Why am I feeling hot too!!"
Feeling the rise in his own temperature, Damien, who was about to check on her suddenly felt his own temperature rise similar to Isabelle
In an instant, the surrounding temperature began to rise continuously, scorched marks began to appear all over the carriage interior, and the surrounding pressure made cracks appear on it
In an instant, they both fell on their knees, feeling something growing within them.
Not only that, but they both felt a sort of connection being established between them, a connection that transcended life and death!
