The 0th Corps Commander Became Trash! [ TCF x INTKOT ]

Chapter 32 - Family Bonding

"Sir Arut! Would you like to try this game?"

"..A game?"

"Y-yes! You just need to shoot the apple in the middle and make it fall into this body of water with this bow."

Deon picked up the bow and arrow then looked at the target while the vendor stood in place shaking, they didn't expect him to actually come over.

'Let's see... a bow and arrow is akin to a gun. Though with arrows you need a little bit more precision than guns, so this should be easy to use.. I hope it is at least.'

He position the bow and arrow to how he remembered how people used them in events and how he used guns. Aiming at the apple with extreme precision, Deon shot the apple right in the middle. Archery was seriously a competitive sport.

"He got it right in the middle..."

"Doesn't that mean he can perfectly aim in vital points easily?"

"As expected of the Zeroth Corps Commander... to do it in his first try."

The demons watching the scene whispered among another. Hana hearing this smiled proudly, her mama was the best! No one could beat her mama!

'It still didn't fall though...'

Thwack!

Deon hit the middle and pierced the other arrow, yet it still didn't fall. He was starting to get irritated as he kept shooting, the apple just wouldn't fall!

All he could wonder was one thing, why the hell would the apple not fall?!

This time, Deon covered the tip of the arrow with a thin layer of the Super Rock and shot the apple for the nth time. It finally fell after so many attempts, was his grip just too weak that even an apple couldn't fall?

"Hoh, you seem to be having fun here."

"Your majesty."

"Mister Demon King!"

"Ah, you're here too Hana."

Deon raised his brow at the word too, did the Demon King and Hana really get along with each other over time? No way, she would have told him right? Should he even care, he'll have to run away sooner or later and possibly have to leave Hana behind.

(And you know you are NOT gonna do that 😅😅)

"Since when did you two get along? Last time I check you two didn't even know each other?"

"Am I suddenly not allowed to? She runs up to me in the first place. Ah never mind that, follow me real quick."

Caver took Deon's and Hana's hand and teleported away. The remaining demons left processed what just happened, did the Zeroth Corps Commander seriously argue back with the Demon King himself, moreover than that, over a child?

(They were just fighting over child custody leave them alone /j)

The moment he could feel the air in the area change, Deon opened his eyes to the world tree right in front of his eyes. It's been a long time since he was able to see the world tree. He also had to admit that the world tree tried their best to keep him alive.

Sharing your vitality to a human who was far away from your location was quite tough. He could only guess that it was most likely because of the link he now had to the world tree after he stabbed himself with it.

"How is it? Doesn't it look beautiful even though we're in the middle of no where? Sadly it is unlike the elves that live here."

"What crazy nonsense are you talking about now?"

The Elf King walked towards the group that had just arrived. He had been waiting for them, especially for Deon. The world tree was always excited or sad whenever they brought him up, it was as if they knew who he was. Nature also seemed to go according to the white-head's wishes, though nature couldn't be controlled he could see the nature bending around him.

"Moreover, this human. The world tree wants to talk with him. They also asked you not to use that power..."

'Huh, He must be talking about the Fire of Destruction?'

Deon recalled how the world tree always freaked out whenever he came to visit or to talk to them. He couldn't believe they were still scared even after two years despite him not using it to threaten them, at least not anymore.

He looked at the Demon King who gave him a nod and made his way to the world tree. It seemed that it was much stronger and safer in this world seeing how it looked even more divine and ethereal than it did in the Nameless One.

Deon ignored the elves and fairies staring at him in interest and shining eyes as he placed his palm onto the world tree and closed his eyes

"Ah, we finally meet again Cale. No, it should be Deon now right? And don't worry you can talk to me with your mind."

'Yes, It has been one hell of a life for me. I can't believe I had to jump dimensions three times.'

"You've been suffering for long my child. But fear not, I can tell this world will make you safest and happiest than all of the other worlds that you've been in."

A trunk from the world tree swayed as the leaves fell onto Deon's head as if they were comforting him before a trunk fell down to ground, thankfully it wasn't numerous amounts of them like last time in the Nameless One.

The elves and fairies looked at this with even more curiosity, the world tree has never talked for this long with anyone and certainly hasn't risked a branch falling down for anyone either, moreover that someone was also human.

"It looks like my time is up. I'll see you next time we meet."

The tree branches immediately stopped swaying the moment Deon took his palm off of the tree. He turned back to see Hana right behind him while the elves and fairies were fighting off demonic monsters.

Bang!

Suddenly something clashed with the demonic monsters which instantly knocked them out. The Elf and Demon King immediately steadied up their magic and weapons, preparing themselves for whatever was coming at them.
