Chapter 291: Finding Out Why the Natives Fled (1)
"Now that's settled, we should interrogate the natives," Violet said once everyone stopped getting excited over the stats."How are we supposed to do that? They're in the boats out at sea," Chris said as he made gestures with his hands."I mean, we could try swimming, but I'm not exactly sure how well that would work out here," said Bobby as he scanned the party."I don't know how to swim," Grace mumbled to herself.If it weren't for how quiet the whole place was, they wouldn't have been able to hear her. Everyone except Luke grimaced. Luke already knew she couldn't swim, as it was something that had come up in the previous life. He had also been someone who couldn't swim along with Joshua. The only people who knew how to swim at the time were Bobby and Chris."Who else doesn't know how to swim?" Violet asked, implying that she could swim."I'm good," Tracy said as she held a hand up, which defeated the purpose of answering Violet's question.When no one else spoke up, Grace wilted ev

Chapter 292: Finding Out Why the Natives Fled (2)
The news instantly got everyone's attention, and they rushed to fight over the spyglass to see if what he said was true. Eventually, everyone had been convinced that the 'heroes' had left, leaving the city wrecked and abandoned. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but they hadn't seen any other option once they heard about the demon attack and the news of the 'heroes' coming.No one had wanted to get into the middle of that. They had heard plenty of horror stories involving the 'heroes' and demons over the past year. There was no way they could put their faith in the new 'heroes'. They were very different from what they had expected when they heard they were being summoned, and it left everyone disgruntled.Why were they the unfortunate ones to receive defective 'heroes'? The 'heroes' should be doing everything in their power to kill the demons for them, not roll over and die the moment they encounter one or cause trouble for the people. No, there was no way they could have stayed in the

Chapter 293: Patching the Relationship Between the Natives and ‘Heroes’
Grace kept shooting glances at Luke, who shooed her off to work her magic. The others were skeptical about his plan, but it was the only one that he had determined would be quick and effective. He wouldn't have thought to send her out and rely heavily on her ability to make people like her to work under normal circumstances.Once she was standing in front of the crowd with everyone else behind her, she said, "Thank you for your cooperation. We're very grateful for everyone's help."The natives stared incredulously at her as if they couldn't believe what she just said. Well, the party wasn't doing any better, and they had already heard about Luke's plan. Theodore looked ready to storm over and help her out, but Luke signaled to him to stay put until they were absolutely certain the plan had failed. However, he was pretty sure it would work. At least eighty percent sure."I know this is a lot, but we ask you to continue to support us so we can create a safer place against the demons. Th

Chapter 294: End of the Demon Attack on Gartlev
[Quest][Demon Attack on Gartlev][You have helped protect the town within twelve days from the demon attack.][Quest Reward][You will be given 10 gold.][You may select one of the following Rare items.]"Whoa, we really speedran this quest," Chris said as he stared at the message from the system."No kidding. I thought for sure we would be cutting it close again," Bobby said as he went to retrieve his arrows.Even though the distance between Estantor and Gartlev was shorter than when they had to travel to Estantor from Sylgen, they had still believed they would encounter a similar situation as in the last quest. However, not only had they encountered fewer demons during the trip, but the weather had been on their side for once, so they were able to reach their destination with a day to spare."I'm glad the people were more willing to listen," Grace said as she smiled. "They were really helpful.""That's true," Luke conceded as he nodded his head toward her. "It was good that the peo

Chapter 295: Planning on How to Deal with a Demon Attack in Progress
That was easier said than done. While the distance was even shorter than before and they could reach the place in a day if everything went right and they rushed, there was a lot going against them. They were going to undoubtedly encounter some demons. It was simply impossible that there would be no demons along the way when it was made clear that the city was already under attack.The only way they wouldn't bump into any demons was if the demons had already completed their task and had left already, which meant they had failed their quest. Also, they couldn't just rush in without a plan. That would be basically asking for trouble. They needed to have a concrete plan on how to deal with a demon attack already in progress."Any ideas?" Tracy asked as she scanned the party.This time, the person holding the reins was Violet, who surprisingly knew how to handle a horse. No one asked where she learned it from, as it wasn't important in the grand scheme of things. Luke had to admit he had w

Chapter 296: Demon Attack on Sabpurclugh (1)
The demon king's words still echoed in Luke's mind as he cut off the legs of the demon right in front of him. He was right about how he still hadn't worked on the quests he had received from the demon's system. Well, it wasn't completely for lack of trying. One quest had a time limit of one year and required him to return to the capital to accomplish it.Though the quest stated kingdom, the only way he could get his revenge was to go back to the capital and deal with the princess and the others. As for the other two quests, he hadn't had any idea on how to accomplish them without compromising the other quests he had to do. Building a demon army would go against the quest that required him to deal with the demons.The same could be said about the quest to deal with the humans. It obviously wanted him to either kill or torture them, which would go against what the angels and the system wanted. Once he did, he would immediately be either heavily monitored or outright targeted. He would o

Chapter 297: Demon Attack on Sabpurclugh (2)
For the next several minutes, there didn't appear to be any more explosions, which increased the party's worry, especially since they didn't see the others. However, they could only hope that the contigency plan was working out just fine as they slowly made their way to the fortress. They were lucky that it wasn't far from where they entered the city.The party could already see it clearly in the distance. At their current pace, they would be able to reach it in a few minutes. Then it would be the moment of truth. Would the people see them and let them in, or would they have to find some way to get past the walls to get inside? Hopefully, it would be the former, but they would have to see for themselves.Luke cut down another demon before he rolled out of the way of some arrows and lightning. Fortunately, Grace wasn't near him, so none of the attacks had hit her either. It seemed that th

Chapter 298: Working With Another Party (1)
"Well, that was close," Chris said as they paused to catch their breath. Tracy immediately turned on him and demanded, "What do you mean that was close? Where were you, and what took you so long?" Chris held his arms up in surrender as he backed away and let Bobby take over. "We hit a bit of a snag." Violet nodded her head. "We noticed." "Seriosuly, we were going along with plan A when things started to get dicey," Chris said as he waved his arms around. "Then when we tried to go with plan B, we couldn't because there were too many demons. Theodore really saved us." That was concerning, but nothing Luke and the others didn't realize right away. They had already known something was up. However, it was strange why the trio wer

Chapter 299: Working With Another Party (2)
Hiding his mouth with his hand and keeping himself away from the others so he wouldn't be overheard, he mumbled, "What are you up to?"[If you want to build your army, the quickest way is to incorporate a large force under your command. I'm certain you can persuade her or force her to submit to you.]Luke was a bit dubious about the idea. There were far too many problems with following along with the demon king's idea. One of them was that they were currently enemies. None of the demons were aware he was the current demon king, and revealing it might not change anything between them. In fact, it might encourage the woman to kill him for replacing her lover.[That's why I said you can use force too. If you're worried that it bothers me, need I remind you that I no longer have attachments now that I have become this.]We

Chapter 300: Brief Discussion Before the Fight
"Is there something you want to say?" Luke asked as he stopped in his tracks.Violet, who was blocking his path, said, "I should be asking you that. I know you didn't reveal everything about the plan."After checking with the demon king that it was alright for them to speak, he said, "I intend on bringing these demons under my wing."Her eyebrows shot up into the air as she said, "Excuse me.""You heard me. To complete one of my quests, I needed to grow my demon army. This is probably my best chance at gathering a large number in one go," he said."Isn't it a bit risky? What about our other quest?" she asked."I've already talked with the previous demon king. He said we should be good to go. "I still don't like this," Violet said with a frown.Read more
