Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster-Chapter 344: Calamity Demon

"..."

"What?"

Lilith tilted her head in confusion.

"A trillion Trell?" she asked. "What for?"

"Hypothetically..." Rael trailed off, meeting her puzzled gaze. "Let’s say there was a way I would be able to give you that bloodline... hypothetically, of course. But the cost would be 1 trillion Trell. So... again, just hypothetically, would you take it?"

It almost looked like she didn’t believe a single word that had come out of his mouth.

"Well, if we’re talking in hypotheticals, then yes, I would cough up 1 trillion Trell for that bloodline. But again, that’s only wishful thinking. If it really was that easy, then I would pay you 10 trillion Trell. No, scratch that, 100 trillion Trell would be worth it."

Rael listened as she went on a sarcastic rant. Again, it was clear that whenever she was sarcastic, it meant she was feeling vulnerable.

That alone told him how much this meant to her, so he extended his hand, grabbing hers.

Lilith was slightly startled and, in the next moment, he sent the request.

<You’ve requested a payment of: 999,000,000,000 Trell.><The recipient has 5 minutes to accept or deny the request.>

She stared at the message for a few moments, unsure of how to respond.

"I can do a few things other people can’t, all with the power of money. Ironic, isn’t it?" Rael chuckled, his expression turning serious right after. "I’m really not sure if this is going to work, but in the off chance that it does, you will get what you want."

A moment of silence ensued, with Lilith simply staring him in the eyes, her expression a mix between confusion, wariness, and hope.

But in the end...

"Why?" Lilith asked. "Why would you even offer something like this? I can’t give you anything in return, and you know that."

"Remember what you said?" Rael smiled. "We will be long-term partners. I don’t want my partner dying before me, so you’ll need to get much stronger. I can buy you that strength, or try to anyway. So what do you say?"

Those words seemed to be enough, because in the next moment, she raised a single finger and tapped the air.

<Balance Updated: +999,000,000,000 Trell | New Balance: 1,020,691,248,088 Trell>

"Well... I always did have a slight hope in the back of my mind that something magical would happen. If it’s just 1 trillion Trell, then I can afford that potential miracle," Lilith said with a sigh.

Rael nodded, then bought the bloodline.

However, as if sensing his intent, the bloodline didn’t go straight to him. Instead, it remained as a pop-up.

<Do you wish to assimilate with this bloodline? Yes / No>

Rael waited for a few moments, hoping another pop-up would appear. But when it didn’t, he decided to try pressing "No."

Immediately, a few sets of pop-ups appeared, and thankfully, they were exactly what he was looking for.

<Ding!>

<You have refused bloodline assimilation!>

<You may select the following...>

1. 100% Trell Refund.

2. Gift.

3. Generous Gift back to the system. (You will donate 999,000,000,000 Trell back to the system with nothing in return.)

"...?"

Fucking bastard. Rael clicked his tongue and selected the second option.

<Choose who to gift the Bloodline of the Ancient Calamity...>

His entire friend list popped up, so he scrolled down and found Lilith.

He paused, made sure it was the right one, then pressed her name.

<...>

<Gift Sent!>

Rael raised his gaze toward her, and the moment he did, he saw her shocked expression.

She was simply staring into the air, not saying anything. But it was clear that what she was currently seeing was the thing he wanted her to see.

"Well...?" Rael smiled. "I guess the gamble did pay off, didn’t it?"

"Is this real...?" Lilith muttered, dazed. "It says... if I accept, I will get the bloodline. No way... is this some sort of joke? Are you trying to trick me, Rael?"

"I mean... 1 trillion Trell for my father’s bloodline? That’s just... it’s too cheap. That’s way too cheap," Lilith continued. "It’s priceless. Even the upper demons of Hell couldn’t get their hands on it, no matter how much blood they sampled or tested... and you got it?"

Rael shrugged with a faint smile. "Well, if it’s a joke, then you’ll only find out after pressing ’Yes’ or ’No.’"

He leaned in slightly.

"So which will it be, Lilith—"

Before he could even finish his words, he felt a strong force push him back.

It was so strong, in fact, that he went flying off the platform Lilith had made.

To avoid splattering on the ground, Rael summoned his mosquito wings and flew back onto the platform.

But when he returned, it wasn’t a happy Lilith that greeted him. Instead, it was a giant black cocoon with hundreds of miniature crimson eyes sprawling on its unnatural and uneven surface, looking around frantically.

All those eyes resembled Lilith’s, but they were a bit more crazed. Some blinked, some stared, while others cried.

And that was when one of those eyes detached itself from the black cocoon and floated over to Rael.

He stared at it, puzzled, when all of a sudden, the floating eye sped up and flew straight for his chest.

Rael was about to swat it away. However, there was this sense of familiarity that stopped him from doing so.

It didn’t feel dangerous, even as it hurled itself at incredible speeds at him.

He stared at the crimson eye, and as it finally reached his chest, it struck head-on.

Yet instead of causing damage, what happened was a little different. free𝑤ebnovel.com

<Ding!>

<The Demon Queen of Calamity has been born!>

<...>

<The Demon Queen of Calamity has chosen you as her unofficial consort!>

In an instant, every single one of the frantic eyes turned toward him, staring intently. But it seemed like the pop-ups weren’t over.

<Ding!>

<New Evolution path unlocked!>

Rael’s eyes widened at the set of messages, but especially at the one where marriage was brought up again.

But by now, he had gotten used to it. If anything, he was already used to the marriage proposals that kept coming his way.

But the last part in particular had piqued his interest, so he pressed on it.

<Ding!>

<Would you like to evolve the race: Abyss Demon into True Calamity Demon?>

<Yes / No>
