After spending a long time inspecting the door, Caleb finally caved in and attempted to open the door. He honestly didn't expect it to work since his followers had said nothing they did work. Imagine his surprise when the door swung open, like it had been unlocked the entire time. The group stared at the dark interior before Caleb turned to look at Matthew.Understanding the question in Caleb's eyes, Matthew frantically said, "It really wouldn't open when we tried. It wouldn't budge."Caleb didn't think he was lying, but it was strange that the door would open so easily. The only difference he could think of was that Caleb was in his human form instead of his demon rat form. However, if that was the case, he couldn't figure out why that would be the case. It seemed like poor security to allow a humanoid figure to open the secret treasury so easily.Deciding it was best not to think about it, he ordered one of his followers to open the door. He made sure to send the weakest first. It w

"That makes it number ten," Caleb said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.Currently in his human form, he stared down at the demon corpse in front of him. This was the tenth one he had managed to bring back to the demon castle. It was such a huge hassle to kill the demons, or at least find the corpse of one and bring it back with him. Transporting them wasn't easy, and he needed to do it nine hundred more times.With a groan, he sat down on the ground as he observed his surroundings. None of his followers were with him as he told them to wait outside. Their presence wouldn't help him in his current situation, as they didn't have the hands to drag a corpse. His eyes eventually fell onto Grace's corpse, which had yet to decay despite how long it had been.After all this time, there should have at least been signs of her body breaking down. However, her body looked the same as when he had last seen her. It was strange, as he couldn't recall any skill that could keep a body from deco

Caleb hated that he was right. He could tell even from a mile away that the demon in front of him was someone none of them stood a chance against. However, it was too late to run. Caleb had known the moment he sensed their presence. Maybe if he was lucky, they would be willing to back off after a brief discussion. It wasn't going to happen, but it didn't hurt to hope.The demon studied him as if questioning if he was really the leader. He supposed it was hard to take him seriously when he was in his demon rat form, which was smaller than most of his army. It was probably a comical sight. The demon came with her own army, expecting to encounter another demon of her level, only to see a tiny demon rat.Well, he assumed she came there because she thought he was a threat. He really didn't have any other ideas why she would be there. It wasn't like he knew her. The only thing he knew about her was that she was a succubus based on her appearance. What was a succubus doing all the way out he

"Why are we attacking the capital?" Caleb finally asked as he watched the forces move in preparation for their invasion.Lisa gave him a strange look. "Isn't it obvious?"Caleb stared right back at her with the same look. If he knew, he wouldn't have asked, though he did have several ideas. It could be because of revenge. Even though they were demons, that was the typical response anyone would have if they were dealt a large blow. Losing the demon king was a huge loss on their side. Without him, they were lost.Well, the succubus did say she was the new demon king, but he honestly didn't know how the process worked. How was a demon king chosen? The game never brought it up, as it was never essential to the plot. Could any demon become the new demon king after the last one died? There had to be some order to the madness, which he was clueless about.Getting the hint that he didn't know, she huffed and puffed up her chest, which only served to emphasize her assets. As a succubus, her ou

Seeing the dark look on her face, Caleb quickly remembered what kind of relationship they had. It wasn't going to be easy convincing her to listen to him when she considered him her servant. Fortunately, he was given a momentary reprieve when more knights showed up to attack. Without batting an eye, she killed all of them with a wave of her hand.As soon as she turned her attention back to him, he was ready. "Lisa, I have a proposition for you."Caleb saw the moment he messed up when she narrowed her eyes. "It's king to you."Muttering curses to himself, he said, "My king, please listen to what I have to say."Crossing her arms, she said, "Talk before I end you here and now."Why were women so difficult to deal with? At least with Grace, he didn't have to worry about her trying to blast his head off or something. It seemed like he had poor luck with the women in his life if he counted the female demon rats who followed him. Frankly, it was unnerving to deal with so many vicious women
