Knowing that the demon king was right, 'Theodore' left the people to destroy themselves and for the demons to finish off what was left, though he doubted the demons would wait that long. Already he could hear them pouncing on the defenseless people. Their screams of agony filled the air as he continued on with the next part of his plan.He still had some time before he could get rid of the demons, and he could take this opportunity to raid the mayor's house. The man would undoubtedly have some valuable items in his possession as well as gold, and it would be a waste to leave it in the hands of a dead man. There were other places he could target too, but it would depend on how long it took him.Moving at a pace that was neither slow nor fast, he found himself standing in front of the mayor's house in no time. His eyes glanced around, and he saw there were quite a few dead bodies. The people must have thought to run to the mayor's home for protection or help, but they either had been ke

Luke pried open the floorboard to find a stash of gold and papers. He frowned at the sight. It wasn't that he didn't like the sight of gold or evidence of the mayor's corruption, but it was strange that the mayor would leave all of it behind. The mayor had clearly combed through his office for things to take with him, unless someone else had gotten here first.It couldn't be the demons, as they wouldn't care about such things. The message he received from the demon king the moment he thought of them all but confirmed it. They would probably thrive on someone stumbling upon the mayor's secrets, as it would create chaos if people found out the mayor was dealing in the black market. After all, people saw the black market as something connected to demons.Another possibility was that it could have been the mayor's enemies that had ransacked the place to either get rid of or find evidence. While this possibility was high, he hadn't noticed any strong people in the town. Of course, it was p

Luke grimaced at the thought of touching her. While he was certain she would wake up in the middle of the act, it was still a distasteful act. He had no interest in stripping her down, nor was he interested in her in that way, but he had no one to rely on for this task. He was all on his own. With a sigh, he started taking off her clothes as he scanned for any items that might be brainwashing her.Violet groaned as she regained awareness for the first time in what seemed like months. It wasn't that she had been asleep or unconscious for a long time, but it had felt like she had been watching her life play out from the sidelines. She had watched as her body moved against her will and did things she would have never done of her own free will.All of it started when her party and the knights had been told to see the princess before they left for Sahgar. Nothing about it had seemed out of the ordinary. It made sense that the princess would want to speak with them before they traveled outs

Violet eyed Luke warily. It wasn't as simple as he was making it seem. There was no way the demons would leave of their own accord that easily. From her own experience, she knew very well how demons could be unrelenting in a fight. He had to have done something to make them retreat, and it had to be something significant considering how quickly it happened.She was sure that no more than a few minutes had passed since he had gone ahead and for her to arrive at the scene. In that time, he had somehow gotten rid of the demons without so much a scratch on himself and without leaving any bodies behind. If that was the case, she wondered if he had somehow bargained with them to leave them alone.As soon as she thought of this, she immediately threw it out the window. There was no way that could happen. She was more likely to believe he was powerful enough to leave no remains of the demons behind than that happening. In this world, only the strong could survive. The weak had to either obey

"Damn human," a demon said as he launched himself into the air. "Don't get cocky."Suddenly, the demon vanished. However, Luke was unfazed by the sight, as he knew the demon was simply using his illusion magic to hide himself from view. It was a cheap way of using his magic. There were other ways he could have used his illusion magic. If it was Zona or Tracy, they might be able to trick him into thinking there were more demons coming to kill him instead.That would have been a better use of the illusion magic. Well, he wasn't going to reject the easy fight the demon was giving him. While he might not see where the demon was, he had other ways of figuring out where he was. He stayed in place before he suddenly swung his blade upward. Blood splattered down on him as the demon became visible once again."Is that your best? I've seen better," Luke mocked as he glanced up at the demon impaled on his sword.The demon spat blood as he clawed at the sword piercing his stomach. "Damn human."W
