The sight of Grace smiling and calmly talking about killing was terrifying. It didn't fit her in the slightest, but Caleb couldn't even bring himself to open his mouth and comment on it. She had already shown that she had no problems with killing humans, but wasn't this a bit much? Who in their right mind would jump to killing people as the answer?Noticing how quiet he had become, Grace lowered her hands and asked, "Is something wrong?"Caleb flinched before saying, "No, but what if that doesn't work? What if the system decides to trap you here?"Grace frowned and seemed to think about it for a moment before saying, "Well, we were told that killing the demon king would let us go home, but that obviously didn't happen. I mean, I'm still here, but maybe it was because I was dead."The last part was mumbled, but he could hear it quite clearly. "Well, your party member wasn't sent home. He actually died not long ago."A strange expression crossed her face that he couldn't decipher. Was s

Caleb barely had time to register what was going on as Grace lunged forward. "Wait. What are you doing?""Isn't it obvious?" she asked as she raced forward to the threat. "I'm going to kill some humans."Wasn't there something wrong with this picture? How could Grace be so eager to charge into a fight? Did she even know how to fight? Wasn't she a healer before all this? Healers weren't supposed to be able to fight. That would mean she was running in with no fighting skills whatsoever. Even if she had killed some demons before, he didn't see the two situations as the same thing."Grace, wait. We don't even know if they're humans. It could be demons attacking," he said.His words seemed to get through to her as she stopped in her tracks. "You're right. I'm sorry. I just really wanted to see if I could get home quickly."He softened at her words. Caleb understood completely the desire to get home as soon as possible, but her bloodthirstiness scared him quite a bit. Charging in like that

Lisa fumed as she glared at the harpy standing across from her. "How dare you.""What did you expect?" the harpy sneered. "Do you really think you are worthy of being the demon king? If anything, I deserve the title."Without hesitation, she used her illusion magic. Copies of Lisa appeared all around them, launching themselves at the harpy, who happily destroyed them with her claws. She screeched happily as the demons around them tore each other apart. Caleb and his crew stumbled upon this hellish scene, making him wonder if perhaps he should just give up on the quest."How are we supposed to face that?" he muttered to himself.This was beyond anything he could imagine. He already knew that Lisa was strong, but she hadn't shown the true extent of her powers before. That wasn't even mentioning her opponent, who seemed to be on par with her. Where did all these terrifying women come from? Caleb would have certainly remembered such powerful demons showing up in the game.Suddenly, he not

How did she do that was running through the two demons' minds as they brushed away at the dust and dirt clouding their vision. They had never met a human who could wield demonic magic. That was something only demons were capable of, but she had pulled it off right in front of their eyes. Were they mistaken? Was she actually another demon vying to become a demon king?Lisa shook her head. That couldn't be it. The demon rat had specifically told her that she was a hero who joined their side. Whatever the case was, she couldn't let the human go after trying to attack her. She was going to make the human regret ever raising a hand against her. As the dust finally cleared, she was startled to see a rock flying in her direction.Fortunately, she ducked out of the way as it sailed past her. Watching it crash into the wall and spread more dust and dirt again, she snarled. However, her snarl froze as she saw several demons lift whatever they could get their hands on and throw it at her. The ai

As he stared into the two demons' faces, Caleb thought that perhaps he could have phrased it better. After all, it was a huge slap to the face. Well, actually, he couldn't have. There was no easy way of breaking it to them that they were now his slaves. He had already been nice enough to call them his subordinates instead of slaves to their faces.Grace chose this moment to ruin the mood by saying, "I thought you said they were your slaves."Immediately, the duo demanded, "What did you say?"Caleb sighed as Grace gave him a sheepish smile. "Yes, you're my slaves. You should have noticed by now that you can't do anything to me. If you try, then you will be punished by the system. I suggest you simply accept it and obey me."Neither of them looked like they wanted to listen to what he had to say, but it was just like he said. They didn't have a choice. The moment they had thought to attack Caleb, they felt a sharp pain hit them out of nowhere. It was the same pain they had experienced e
