Chapter 376: The Most Demonic Demon (3)
The demon race was a mad species that fought almost every single day. The reason they fought so fiercely was because it aligned with their own desires. Demons were one-dimensional beings that moved exactly as their desires commanded, and among those desires was something called lust.
Because of that, male and female demons engaged in breeding almost every day. Of course, only a rare few demons felt emotions like love as humans did. Most simply overpowered their partners or satisfied their lust through mutual agreement. Naturally, the demons born from those unions were seen as burdens and abandoned immediately.
The same was true for Archduke Kinessa. His first memory in life was of chewing on randomly grown weeds of the Demon Realm. He ate to survive. Grass, stones, dirt—he stuffed anything he could grab into his mouth to stay alive. He suffered stomach aches and fevers, and there were days he vomited all day long. However, that process made Kinessa stronger.
I became strong.
Kinessa, who was once nothing but the lowest trash, had no choice but to become cunning. He had an unusually strong attachment to life, and luckily enough, he was smart. He approached demons with warmth, won their trust, and in the end devoured every last one.
His power grew steadily stronger through that process, and the place he reached by walking that brutal path was the glorious title of Archduke.
“How insulting,” Kinessa muttered after thinking for a while. “So... so insulting.”
Upbringing? Parents? He had never received such things, nor possessed them.
A demon who loves? What a joke.
Kinessa had lived over four hundred years and seen countless demons. Among them were definitely some who loved each other like humans did.
Very convenient creatures.
