What Caleb meant by dealing with the rest was determining if it was worth letting them live a little while longer or being eaten by his followers. It was a bit concerning how many of them have started craving human meat. He had already known about their human eating habits, but it didn't make it any less disturbing to see how excited they were at the prospect of eating a human.Obviously, there was no point in prolonging the suffering of those with fatal injuries. It was unrealistic to expect them to return back alive to get their injuries treated. Even with magic, there were some things that couldn't be healed. It would be a mercy to let them be killed right now, though being eaten alive couldn't be called a mercy. Maybe he should kill them first before letting his followers devour them.Since the ones left were in no condition to pay attention to their surroundings, none of them were aware of the danger they were in. If they had, they would undoubtedly be begging for their lives or

Time seemed to move quickly and slowly at the same time. Before Caleb knew it, several months had passed without incident, and it almost felt unreal. Caleb had been so sure that heroes would come for them, but it didn't happen. In fact, the humans ended up leaving them alone to grow stronger in peace. He wasn't sure how that happened.Caleb had brainwashed the surviving humans to spin a story that wouldn't implicate them at all. However, it would be impossible to ignore how most of the men who had gone into the forest hadn't returned. He would have thought they would do something about it, like the last place did. Instead, days passed without any signs of any more humans.In the beginning, he had been walking on eggshells, thinking that the humans or heroes would show up any day now. However, now that so much time had passed, it no longer kept him up late at night. That didn't mean it didn't still bug him. Caleb refused to let his guard down and made sure to have his followers keep an

Caleb narrowed his eyes at the screen, suspicion and doubt gleaming in them. If the system were a person, it would be sweating right at that moment. Something didn't seem right. For a moment, there had been a strange phenomenon that he could only describe as a glitch. The world had literally spazzed out like a game, encountering a bug or crashing before it went back to normal.He had asked the system what that was, but the system had acted oblivious to what he was talking about. There was no way the system couldn't have possibly noticed. It must have seen something. Unfortunately, it was quite tight lipped about the whole affair, and he wasn't sure why. Well, if the system was going to refuse to answer, he needed to find out himself.The problem was that he had no clue where to start. It wasn't like he had a surplus of people with whom he could talk about these matters, for several reasons. One of them was people thinking he was crazy. Honestly, he wouldn't blame them. It did sound ri

Caleb should have known things wouldn't go as smoothly as he would have liked. He had actually been very lucky so far that nothing big happened sooner since everyone else that had come with him was bigger than him. They should have been spotted a lot sooner. The only reason he could think of was that the other demons thought they were part of the group.Whatever the case may be, his second task was currently in jeopardy. If any of his followers got found out, it would be impossible to avoid a confrontation, much less complete the second task. He had to do something fast. However, he had no clue how to do that. There weren't exactly many options available to him, and he didn't even know the context for the demons' suspicions.Glancing at the demon rat beside him, he debated whether it was worth pushing it to force its way through the crowd of demons to meet up with the troublemaker. He quickly shook his head of those thoughts. That would only make a bigger mess. Any suspicious move the
