Compared to death, teaching Archimonde to read was even more despairing.
It truly felt like a past life spent slaughtering pigs and this one teaching, or a past life killing people and this one teaching language arts.
Although Archimonde was a generation's Demon Lord, second only to one and above tens of millions, with the unparalleled strength of Hell, he was genuinely illiterate. Hell had no need for the written word; consuming the soul of one's kind could result in a certain probability of acquiring their skills and even some memories. The more powerful the demon, the more memories and skills the devourer could gain. Thus, every Demon Lord possessed terrifying Soul Power, but demons were not very adept at using them.
