His face gradually tightened, and the fists resting on his knees slowly clenched, but he remained silent.
Crying for Subscriptions: Into the Abyss
Even though Dark had done his best to show goodwill, Spike Leon still refused to answer.
But his recollections exposed the whole story without reserve.
In fact, the moment Dark asked about it, it had already become impossible for him to keep the secret.
There was nothing particularly unusual about Spike Leon's situation.
—A demon resided within his heart.
In this modern age, the Demon Race had supposedly been completely wiped out—at least, that was what was publicly proclaimed.
But a centipede did not stop wriggling just because it was dead. Naturally, the Demon Race could not truly have been eradicated to the last one.
Moreover, the problems left behind by the war were countless. Even on moral grounds alone, humanity could not possibly exterminate all those mixed-bloods who carried demon blood against their own will.
Spike Leon was one such mixed-blood.
Only, his mixed blood was not a matter of the flesh.
Before giving birth to him, his mother had suffered a wide-area attack from a "Mind Demon," and a demon seed had been implanted into her soul.
Then, during childbirth, that demon seed had transferred into Spike Leon's soul in an extremely bizarre manner.
Once the demon seed took root and sprouted, demons would grow within Spike Leon's mind, transforming him into a "Mind Demon"!
Thus, Spike Leon was a pure Orc physically. But on the level of the soul, he had already been corrupted by demons.
He was an exceptionally rare "soul mixed-blood"!
Fortunately, Spike Leon was merely an insignificant thirty-eighth prince. He possessed only the most basic inheritance rights, which would not come into play unless all thirty-seven princes before him died.
