Chapter 435 Nature of the Seven General Lords

Undine stood up and entered Zach's body.

"..." Zach stood still for a few seconds and asked, "Can you speak something?"

[Umm… my name is Undine.]

Zach turned to Asmodeus and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Asmodeus shook her head and said, "To me, it feels like you are talking to yourself."

"Undine, come out of my body."

Undine came out of Zach's chest and kept the rest of her body inside him.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"I feel the same as I do when I am one with the water. Right now, I feel like I am one with you. Your heartbeats feel like my heartbeats, and your body feels like my body. I don't know how to describe this feeling since it's my first time entering someone's body."

"Can you enter and leave my body without my permission?"

"It seems so. But I become unconscious when I stay in a stable state for more than five minutes. It's hard to keep on a humanoid shape. I am still an unawakened water spirit who is useless outside the ocean. 

Once I step on land, I can't do anything. I can't manifest a shape for more than five minutes. So if you are planning to use me in battle, I would be useless. I would be glad to help you if a large proportion of water is included."

Undine went inside Zach's body and added, [It's been five minutes, so I will have to rest now. It's been so long since I had a good sleep.]

"...."

"...."

Zach glanced at Asmodeus, only to find her glaring at him in disappointment.

"What's with that look? If you have something to say, then be out with it."

"You forgave her because she is a girl, right?"

"What? No. What gave you that idea?" he chuckled nervously.

"You killed the other two generals, but forgave her. And the only difference between the three is that the water spirit was a female while the two were males," she asserted.

"I don't blame you for thinking that. Anyone would think that I forgave Undine because she was a hot girl with a perfect body who reminded me of someone from the Sea Realm, but that's not the case at all."

He shook his head and continued, "Undine is a water spirit, and she is made of water. She needs water to be alive. And I killed the other two because I knew they wouldn't change and stab me in the back when they got a chance— and they did, by the way.

However, Undine can't do that even if she wants to. I have the Blessings of the Sea God and the Sea Goddess. The sea is mine, and the water spirit is a part of it. I can remove her from existence simply by one command."

"..."

"In short, she is no threat to us. Period."

Asmodeus continued staring at Zach and asked, "Would you have done and said the same thing if the water spirit was a male instead of a female?"

 "We should hurry. Come on."

"See? You changed the topic."

"I did not. Now, let's go. And…" He pointed his gaze at the waterfall and said, "You can drink water and take a bath if you want."

"...do I stink?" she asked with a pale face.

"I don't know."

"Why would you ask me to take a bath, then?" She gasped and hugged herself, saying, "Don't tell me you plan to attack me when I have my guard down."

"Get your mind out of the gutter. I asked you to take a bath because you and your clothes are already gone since you drowned in the ocean. You can wash yourself better under and behind the waterfall."

"I was joking about the first part. I didn't think you would get so offended, "she muttered under her breath. "And yes, I would like to take a bath."

"Good. Go ahead. But make it quick. I will wait for you."

"Asmodeus inspected Zach from head to toe and asked, "What about you? You are in the same condition as me. Don't you want to take a bath?"

"Should I take it as an invitation to bathe together with you?" he chuckled softly, seemingly well aware that Asmodeus didn't put much thought into her question when she asked it.

"I will go first!" she ran away with a flushed face.

SIGH!

'This is the worst! We ran into three out of seven general lords in one day. What's with the shitty luck? Or was all this supposed to happen? It's almost as if we are being watched, which is not the case.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be wise and better if all the seven generals attacked us at once? That would be crazy, to be honest. And if that's not happening, that means the generals were placed in specific locations at certain places.

However, we only took the forest route because it was a shortcut. I feel like I am missing something. It doesn't make sense. Why is it that the general lords cannot be sensed?

If I think about it, all the generals we have run into so far have a specific nature. The first one was the emperor of the mist, which came from the clouds. The second was that insect-man, which is technically part of nature.

The third one was Undine, the water spirit. What will be the next one? Plant or a tree? Mountain? Ground? Fire? Wind? I see… so that's how it is. I must admit that the demon lord has at least some brains. He has planned well.

It's not that we are running into the general lords, the available lords are running into us. They are a part of nature. We can't possibly avoid them even if we want to. But oh well, it doesn't really matter.'

"If we run into them, we will end them. And if we don't run into them, it will save our time."

Asmodeus has placed her clothes on the rock to dry while she covered her body with the leaves and stayed hidden behind the tree. Zach did the same, but he dried his clothes with fire and got dressed.
