Hero or Villain, Both

Chapter 292: Unique abilities


These plants were newly born, so it wasn't as if they posed that much danger to me.

Or that was what I wanted to say if not for the fact that there was something strange about these plants.

It felt like there was going to be a surprise, so I just raised my hand and forced them all down with my demon king's pressure.

Since they were plants that had been born from the demon ginseng's roots, it meant that all of them were demons as well. Since they were demons, it was only natural that they would be affected by the demon king pressure that I released.

The demon ginseng didn't seem to mind this demon king's pressure that I released.

In fact, it looked at me as if it was seeing me like I was its family.

This was also part of the reason why the demon ginseng had followed me in the first place.

The demon ginseng was the only descendant of Planus, the former demon king.

So this demon king pressure was something that was familiar to it since it had felt it from its ancestor. That was why I released it, it mistook me as its ancestor and looked at me like I was its family.

Even if it wasn't the truth, it was useful since it made the demon ginseng willing to follow me.

It did feel a bit wrong to trick the demon ginseng like this since it basically had the mentality of a child, but still if it was willing to follow me…

I was the demon king after all…

Once the plants had been suppressed, I walked over to look at them closely before saying to the demon ginseng, "You really need to better restrain your subordinates."

The demon ginseng had watched these new plants that it had grown attack me, but this wasn't done out of malice. Rather, it was because it had been curious about what these plants would actually do.

After all, they were newly born so there was no telling what kind of personalities that they had.

However, it had a connection to these plants and could tell that they had only done this because they wanted to protect the demon ginseng.

In that case, it meant that they had passed.

Still, it took the scolding that I gave it seriously and pulled the plants back before it seemed to apologize to me.

I knew that it wasn't actually apologizing since it was just a child and this was what children did. Even though they apologized, they didn't really apologize since they didn't think that they did anything wrong.

They only apologized because they were forced to.

I just ignored this and accepted the apology before saying, "What kind of abilities do they have?"

The demon ginseng seemed to fill with excitement when it heard this.

It seemed like it wanted to show off the plants that it had just grown as it started pulling them off the ground and gesturing to them.

The plants understood what the demon ginseng was saying to them, but they didn't act right away. Instead, they looked at me as if they were still wary of me and it seemed like they were even more afraid than before because of the demon king's pressure that I released.

Still, the demon ginseng gestured to itself as if it was saying that it was fine since I was related to it.

Eventually, the plants seemed to let their guards drop a bit, but they still looked at me with wary looks.

But since the demon ginseng was telling them to do it, they did it in the end.

They demonstrated the abilities that they possessed and it seemed like they were even putting some flair into it. It seemed like they wanted to impress the demon ginseng who they saw as their parent.

It was just that the demon ginseng was waiting for my reaction.

I didn't say a single thing while this was happening, but I certainly was impressed by the abilities that the plants demonstrated.

All of them had unique abilities like I thought they would have.

The demon ginseng had the ability to create all kinds of poison pollen that would cause many different kinds of status effects.

The demon plants that had been created all possessed abilities that were just as unique as the poison pollen that the demon ginseng created.

I was very satisfied seeing that this was the case since this was what I had been hoping for.

So seeing it now, I was certain that I made the right decision bringing the demon ginseng here to create these plants.

The only thing that was left to do was to grow them since they were still young plants that had just been born today. They still needed time to properly develop their abilities after all.

"Good job." I said as I petted the demon ginseng on the head.

The demon ginseng seemed overjoyed when I did this and the plants soon followed.

All of them danced around in joy because of this and…

"Cute."

It was strange that these demon plants had these cute appearances when they had such dangerous abilities, but that was just how they turned out to be.

It really felt strange seeing them dance around like this, but I just simply watched them like this for a bit before saying, "Alright, let's figure out what you need to improve on."

The demon plants stopped dancing when they heard this and looked at me as if they were complaining.

Seeing them like this, I just couldn't help thinking of them as a group of children that were unhappy about being forced to take classes.

Still, it wasn't as if I was going to let them off that easily.

They still had a lot to develop before they could be considered useful, but I had high hopes for them in the end.

The only other thing that was left was to introduce them to the rest of my subordinates.
