Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 420 Not a Human

Chapter 420 Not a Human

"When did you realize I wasn't a human?" Lilim asked with a curious look on her face.

"When I got out of the car? I used one of my powers to scan the areas to make sure everything was alright. And I accidentally looked at you.

Usually, my ability would let me see through the peoples' clothes or sometimes their bodies, but it didn't work on you as intended. I did see through your clothes, but I saw something else too.

You seemed as though you were wearing human skin. Honestly, I was surprised at first. I had taken a liking to you when we talked in the car, but I didn't know anything about you. I wasn't even sure if Maria and the others knew about your true self.

So I approached you with a question one would have asked, and you replied without any change in your personality. I asked you a few more questions, and I realized you don't mean any harm to anyone. You dont bare any hostility towards me.

I just acted normal, but now that no one is watching you, you have changed a little. I wanted to ask you who you were, but it seemed awkward to ask that all of a sudden. Not to mention, I would also have to expose my power and ident.i.ty.

So I just asked you, 'what is your true self?', but of course, that was a vague question. However, now that we are alone in this closed room and you have stripped yourself, I don't think it matters."

Rudy had everything planned for that moment, even though he wasn't sure if he would get the opportunity. Regardless, it was true that he felt attracted to Lilim because of that reason.

"You knew everything all along and acted all this time?" Lilim asked in astonishment. "Who is the better actor now, huh?"

"That wasn't an act. I am not the type of person who would change myself for others. Unless, of course, it's necessary, and I truly want to change," Rudy remarked nonchalantly.

"I won't lie, I am a bit disappointed that it turned out like this. But you are the almighty Lord. I am in no place to argue with you. I don't want to face your wrath of the Lord. Moreover, I am but a lowly servant of yours."

"..."

Lilim looked into Rudy's eyes and said, "I would suggest you step back a little. I will change my form now."

Rudy stepped back a few steps and stared at Lilim with an amused look on his face. He was genuinely curious to find out who Lilim truly was.

Lilim closed her eyes and placed her hands on her navel. Her body glowed a little before slowly changing shape. Even the sound of her body shape changing was audible in the room because of how quiet the surroundings were.

A few seconds later, two medium-sized horns came out of Lilim's forehead, and her skin turned a slightly dark tone. Then, she opened her eyes that were once amber but now close to red.

She smiled nervously at Rudy and said, "This is my true form."

Rudy continued staring at her with an alluring gaze without saying anything. He was trying to figure out what race Lilim belonged to.

Lilim squirmed a little and asked, "How do I... look?"

"Wait... you are embarra.s.sed?" Rudy asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Of course, I would be embarra.s.sed. You are looking at my naked body. I am showing my true self to my Lord. I am just hoping my body is to your liking."

"You weren't embarra.s.sed when you stripped yourself earlier, though," Rudy remarked.

"That was in my human form. I was wearing a disguise, and it was similar to wearing a layer of clothing for me. But right now, I am fully naked," she responded calmly.

"Well..." Rudy licked his lips and muttered, "You look absolutely stunning in both forms."

PHEW!

Lilim let out a sigh in relief and said, "I would have killed myself if you didn't like my body. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself for showing you my unsightly body."

"That's not true. You truly look amazing. But... uhh..." Rudy averted his gaze and asked, "What are you, again?"

Lilim squinted her eyes and asked, "You don't know?"

"In my defense, it's my first time seeing a race other than the human and vampire. You have horns, and your skin turned a little dark after you changed your form, so you are obviously not a vampire since they all have pale skins.

And judging by your horns, I can only think of one race." Rudy paused for a few seconds and asked, "Are you a dragon?"

"Hehe." Lilim giggled while covering her mouth and said, "No. Dragons have a different shape of horns, and their eyelids and eyes' shape is also different."

"I see. I a.s.sumed that because I didn't want to depict the races I have seen in movies and stories. They are usually off the mark, but I guess I can't deny the similarities," he muttered while nodding.

"I am a demon," Lilim suddenly stated.

"Oh.. demons usually have a different skin color, no? And no offense, but I thought demons were only in h.e.l.l."

"They do, and their ranks are decided by their colors too. Not only that, but their color changes when they evolve or get powerful, so it's a great way to rank them," Lilim politely explained.

"So why do you still look awfully similar to a human in spite of the horns?" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

"My mother was the highest rank demon who had gained the blessings of immortality from the Lord. And my father was... a human."

"I see. So the previous Lord gave blessings to your mother?"

"I am not privy to that. But whatever I have told you so far is completely true. And even if I wanted to lie, there is no way one can lie in front of a powerful ent.i.ty such as you, my Lord."
