I Know the Secret to Surpass Level 100

Chapter 480: A Prince's True Form

"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked the four demons who sat casually on the table with them.

Irus placed his cup of tea down, sighing. "I found out that these three do not know how to get back to their realm."

"It's not our fault that the rift in space and time would cause all of these," Saitan reasoned out. "Also, I am enjoying this realm more. The weather is nice and the people doesn't want to kill you all the time. Why would I try to go back?"

Mammon and Leviathan nodded in agreement. They took a sip of their own tea and sighed.

"We don't actually want chaos and destruction," Leviathan said. "Our father pressured us to do all of those just because he had a reputation to maintain. In terms of free will, that thing was pretty much inexistent for us."

"Couldn't agree more, brother," Mammon raised his cup as if he was toasting.

Elliot watched the four demons talk to each other and let the other guild members warm up to them. None of these four were ever hostile to them in the first place. Sure Irus almost killed everyone when he took over Elliot before, but that was before they became friends.

'Friendship really is a powerful thing, isn't it?' Irus asked Elliot through their shared thoughts. Elliot smiled and nodded.

'It is,' Elliot replied. 'And you don't need much when you befriend someone. Just be your true self.'

"Oh, no," Leviathan suddenly laughed, making everyone look at him. "Do you really want to see our true self?"

"Leviathan" 

"No," Leviathan cut Mammon off. "It would be fun. Yes, it would be terrifying and traumatic to some, but it will be fun."

"Fun?" Elliot tilted his head to the side. "Why would it be fun?"

Everyone was gathered in the middle of a large clearing at the heart of the forest. Azure Scorch and The Eternals's guild members were present at the scene with the four demons standing right in front of the large crowd.

"What's happening?" Frederick asked. "You said there was something you need to discuss with us."

"There is," Leviathan grinned. He leaped off of the ground and his entire body suddenly shattered into a thick black liquid. Everyone gasped at this, seeing the black liquid twitch and grow in size.

As it grew, the liquid started to form a shape. A gigantic four legged creature with a long neck and a head of a human, a face that resembled Leviathan. 

It grinned and growled while three pairs of bat wings grew from its back, all in different sizes. There was no order in the size of the wings, even the size of each pair was different. 

The claws on the front legs resembled a falcon's talons, sharp and deadly. The back legs resembled a lion's paws with a metal boot that covered its claws.

"What in the hell is that?" Elliot asked out loud, eyes wide as the black liquid burst in a bright light.

"This," Leviathan spoke. "This is my true form."

Leviathan took the form of the black liquid but it was more grotesque than it actually was. The black skin was patchy, some had soft black flesh while others had dark gray scales. Some parts of his body like his neck and his right forearm had no flesh at all.

"I don't want to participate in this, so I'll sit this one out," Mammon said, to which Irus and Saitan agreed to.

"And you?" Elliot asked Irus. "Will you show us your true form too?"

"The Sins does not posses a physical attribute at birth," Irus said. "We were merely waste material of each Deadly Prince that manifested because of the overbearing powers that they have when they were being birthed."

"You're not a waste material," Saitan swung his arm over Irus's neck. "You're a brother to us. Don't worry about it."

As the demons interacted with each other, it made Elliot wonder how they were like back in their realm. When the Forsaken was right in front of them, could they still call Irus their brother?

"That is just plain disgusting and terrifying," Connor said, waking Elliot up from his train of thoughts.

Elliot spun to see that some of his former guildmates from Azure Scorch were on the ground, watching Leviathan roam the skies in his new form. They were terrified at the scene in front them for some reason.

"Why are they acting like this?" Elliot asked. "It doesn't look that bad."

"For you," Irus said. "Leviathan, get back here or you'll kill them."

"Weaker beings are prone to this," Mammon said. "A Deadly Prince's true form is not for the weak and even demons would die if they look long to enough."

"It's not like it's disgusting or horrific," Saitan added. "The projection of our true form affects the mind, and if you can't take it, you'll slowly deteriorate."

Leviathan finally morphed back into his human form and landed on the ground. Frederick scoffed and walked in front of him. "That was not fun. You almost killed my people."

Leviathan smiled, "If your people can't even look at me, then they have no chance against the Kings."

Frederick's eyes widened. "What do you know about the Kings?"

"There are Five Kings in the borders of Avancia," Leviathan narrated. "Each one of them posses about one and a piece of a Deadly Sin's power. The Deadly Sins are capable of destroying Terra without its Eternal, imagine what happens when there are six of them right by your borders."

"What" Frederick was left speechless. "I know that. But what does it have to do with them? Your little activity almost jeopardized my friends."

"A full moon before the Candidates reached Absolutehood," Leviathan smirked. "The Kings will come out of their castles and wreck havoc to challenge the Candidates. This was the Almighty and the Forsaken's way to stop another being from reaching their level."

"What will we do now?" Elliot asked.

"Kill the Kings before they come out," Leviathan said simply.. "When that happens, we can only focus on the Candidates in the war."
