Chapter 253: Joke

Raveena nodded and then asked, "So, what happened then?"

Asher simply smiled and took a juice from his subspace before saying in a playful tone, "Nothing much. He just announced war on the entire human force and then died at the hands of Solarius."

...

Raveena looked at Asher for a moment in silence, her expression completely blank. She stared at him as if trying to figure out whether he was joking or not before finally saying, "Sorry, what did you just say? I think I misheard you. There is no way that really happened."

Asher looked at her calmly. He slowly took another sip of his juice before replying with an understanding expression, "Yeah, I know it sounds impossible. I mean, getting killed by that stupid Dog sounds ridiculous, but it only happened because I allowed myself to get trapped there and didn’t even try to resist when he killed me."

He paused for a moment and then continued with a faint smile, "But don’t worry. He is the first one I am going to kill after completing Early Apotheosis."

Raveena once again looked at him in silence, her expression becoming even stranger. She then said in an annoyed tone, "It’s not about you dying at the hands of an Immortal Rank. There is nothing impossible or hard to believe about that, you monster. I’m talking about what you said before that."

Asher looked slightly uncertain before asking, "You mean that stupid war I was talking about?"

He took another sip of his juice before casually continuing, "Yeah, I did that. What about it?"

...

Raveena stared at Asher in complete disbelief. He was still casually sipping his juice with an almost enjoyable expression, as if they were discussing something completely normal.

’What stupid war? The only stupid thing about this whole situation is you. Who the hell announces war on the entire human forces when they have dozens of Immortal Ranks and three Saint Rank experts? And you did it alone!’

She continued staring at him, unable to understand what was going through his head.

’Even if you have different vessels or bodies, whatever you meant by that, waging war against them is still pure suicide.’

Raveena slowly looked at Asher again. He was still drinking his juice as if nothing had happened.

Then, when the juice finally finished, Asher made a slightly sad expression.

He immediately summoned another one from his subspace and started drinking again without showing any concern about the war he had just declared.

Raveena couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

’Whatever. It’s probably better this way. At least they won’t think of me. I just have to leave, and then I never have to meet this guy again. It’s not like I am the one who will be participating in this war.’

She was already thinking about how she could quietly leave and distance herself from Asher before things became even more troublesome.

Then Asher suddenly looked up towards her.

"And also, you are part of this war."

Raveena’s expression froze.

Asher continued casually, "And so is the entire Demon Continent."

Raveena’s eyes widened slightly.

"Tell that to the Mosquito Saint or Blood Saint whatever you call him. I will talk with that Nightmare Saint myself later."

Raveena remained completely silent.

For a moment, she didn’t even know how to react to what she had just heard.

’Why am I part of this war?!’

And then she suddenly shouted in an angry tone, "Why are I and the entire Demon Continent part of this stupid war of yours? I never agreed to it!"

Asher looked at her with confusion before saying, "Didn’t you agree to it when I served you poison with my blood? How did you forget about it so soon? Don’t tell me you also have a brain the size of a mosquito."

Raveena instantly replied, completely ignoring the insult at the end, "I never agreed to this! I only agreed to help you with something that I could do using my influence in my family. We never talked about some stupid war!"

Asher thought about it for a moment, as if genuinely trying to remember their previous conversation. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Ah, I see. I guess I misunderstood what you meant. Sorry about that."

Raveena was slightly surprised by how easily he accepted it.

"I won’t participate in this stu—"

She suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence.

Raveena looked at Asher with a surprised expression before asking, "You really understood? I thought you would argue."

Asher simply shrugged and said, "I don’t like arguing. I like things to be efficient."

Raveena remained silent for a moment, still surprised that Asher had actually understood her without turning the conversation into another argument.

’Maybe he can actually act normally sometimes.’

But then she suddenly sensed something around her.

Her expression changed.

Five more vessels of Asher suddenly appeared around her, each of them holding a black sword in their hands.

All five looked at her calmly.

Then Asher spoke with a faint smile.

"So, you can die now."

Raveena’s face instantly became blank.

’Of course. My fault for thinking you could even act normally.’

She cursed herself inwardly for trusting Asher for even a few seconds.

However, instead of showing fear, Raveena suddenly smiled.

It was a big smile,happy smile,a ridiculous smile.

She immediately raised her hands slightly and said with a huge smile on her face, "I was just joking! Of course I would go to war. Why wouldn’t I? I always wanted to go to war against the entire human force!"

The five vessels remained silent.

Raveena’s smile became even wider as she tried her best to look completely sincere.

’Definitely better than dying here.’

Then the five vessels disappeared, leaving only the previous vessel behind. It looked at Raveena and smiled.

"Ohh, I see. A joke. Sorry, I thought you were serious. I like jokes, especially when they are this funny."

Ravena smiled back "Yeah I also like jokes."
