88: Castle of Infinity

Azekiel grabbed the apple as well, but he didn't eat it, despite being extremely hungry. 

The System had already warned him that this place was the Domain of Soul Demon. And if he wasn't wrong, the old man before him was the Soul Demon that the system warned him about. 

He wasn't sure if these apples were poisoned or not, but he didn't want to leave that to chance. His safety was in his own hands. Fortunately, he could also see that Lia and Raphael didn't eat either. They were also sensible enough. 

"Why aren't any of you eating?" The Soul Demon asked, seemingly not understanding why they didn't eat. "Do you not trust this old man?"

"It's not that we don't trust you. We are just not hungry at the moment. We will save these apples for the future." Azekiel kept the apple in his pocket, giving a swift excuse. 

The other two gave the same excuse, keeping the apple for later.
