“Nooo! Stay away from me!” Lady Feya was running like a scaredy cat.
“Lady Feya! Stop! You won’t get away this time.” Rudeth’s horse ran fast, passed through the lady and then blocked her way.Lady Feya stopped running and she immediately knelt down on the forest’ ground. She was surrounded by Rudeth and his group. She was helpless and desperate.Devon looked at Feya with pity and anger. He did not expect that she would dare to escape. A dark aura began to engulf more of Devon’s sanity. He jumped off form the horse and approached her.“I have shown you mercy. I spare your life! But why do you dare to escape?” Devon threw his anger at Feya.“NO! Go away! You demon! Don’t get near me!” Lady Feya was too scared that she did not have a courage to look at Devon.“You are the one who created that demon! That demon who massacred my whole family!” Devon got closer to FeyaThe once-grand entrance hall was unrecognizable and the walls were charred and blackened, while the marble floor was cracked and stained with blood. The chandelier that had once hung from the ceiling was now a twisted and broken mess, its crystals scattered across the floor.“Hey you, you’re finally awake.” A familiar voice greeted him. It was Rudeth, his clothes were torn all over and he had to struggle just to stand. “Sorry about the thwack. I can’t let you kill the Wenovitch lady.”Devon nodded with a faint smile. “Don’t mind it, Rudeth. I should be thanking you instead for stopping me back then. I wasn’t entirely myself at that time and just got taken over by the course of the moment.”“But still, I can’t afford to let her get away just like that. After all, she shares the same blood with the very family who erased my parents and sister.”Devon’s voice was not loud, but the chill was enough to freeze the spine of whoever heard it. And Rudeth was no exception.“What are you going t
“Fran, stay put on your place and touch nothing!”Devon screamed at the top of his lungs, hoping that it would stop any horrible fate that would befall on Francesca.“Okay, this sounds serious. But why?” asked Francesca. As a girl, it was natural for her to try on any jewellery presented to her, so no wonder it was already on her wrist, much to the jealousy of other girls, especially Roxanne.“Why? I’m sure it was because he realized that it would be a waste for that beautiful bracelet to be worn by a mere peasant like you!” interrupted Roxanne.Francesca frowned. She never had thought that Roxanne would be at her throat for getting this gift. As far as she knew, there was nothing going on between Devon and Roxanne. Arwen, yeah, she was head over heels for Devon, as she had a human fetish. And that was the reason why Francesca was still bewildered as to why Roxanne was so keen over the bracelet.“Peasant, huh? Roxy, when you aimed it at Francesca, it was like a pot calling kettle blac
That being moved his fingers, each brandished by a claw which was as long and sharp as a sword. As if looking down on the foes before him, he moved with a prial grace that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Its eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, reflecting the demonic forces that now resided within.“Devon, are you there?”Rudeth was yelling in desperation. He was just that close to end his mission, but he never thought he would start from scratch again.“He is here, all right. But we’re afraid he would never see the light of the day again,” said Belphegor. “After all, a deal is a deal.”“You’re not the only one who had agreement with him!” Rudeth wouldn’t want to back down here, not after all he had been through.“Indeed, but we struck a deal with him first. On top of that, our pact was sealed by blood, so it should carry more weight, don’t you think so?” responded Belphegor. He wasn’t drowsy like he used to do, weirdly.“And unlike your verbal, weak agreement, our pact work
Dietrich and Rudeth stood over Devon's limp body, panting heavily from the intense exorcism they had just performed. The room was filled with the acrid scent of sulfur, a lingering reminder of the demon that had possessed him.As they caught their breath, they exchanged a solemn glance, knowing that the battle was far from over. They had expelled the demon, but there was no telling if it would return or if there were other demonic forces at play.“I hope that will do for now,” panted Dietrich. “Roxanne, everyone, well done! But stay on your toes, we still have something to do, later on!”“In the meantime, all of you are free to leave. Rest yourselves, you will need it afterwards,” continued Dietrich.None of the people there were aware of the next steps necessary, but since they were so beaten up thanks to nonstop exposure of battles, everyone went quietly without any complaints nor questions.“Not you, Rudd. I have something to talk to you about.” Dietrich stopped Rudeth, who was abo
Devon had already entrusted her sister’s treatment to the girls. As soon as they knew it was Devon’s sister who had been locked up in the dungeon for God knew how long, everyone felt sympathetic towards her and agreed to restore her condition back to normal.“Bro Devon, we’re finished with Vinette! She was too weak to chew anything, so I took the initiative to feed her mouth to mouth!” declared Arwen loudly while she entered the main hall, as if what she did wasn’t anything shameful. “Oh, and I also helped her to take a bath! Girls are so attached to their bath times, you know! I can’t imagine how could she survive that long without any proper bath!”“Arwen, you need to stop making everything about you,” claimed Cecilia. “You’re going to make Devon think you’re the only one working. I know you’re heads over heels to him, but play it fair, will you?”While the two of them were arguing, Devon could also see that they weren’t the only ones arriving. Behind them, Francesca and Roxanne cou
After a passionate last night where Devon bedded 7 women at the same time. The night went so long, the sun arrived before they finishing doing their deed. The group woke up quite late from the exhaustion and trance, but they immediately left the bedroom as to try their hardest not to remember their embarrassing activity of last night.The first one to come out would be Feya and Devon. Feya is still feeling some enmity towards Devon, as she can’t believed that she just let someone that murdered her husband and son to pleasure her body, even when it’s for the pretext of saving the world. Devon notices and immediately retorted.“What is it, you’re staring daggers at me? Still haven’t had enough?”In which Feya replies. “Don’t get too cocky, murderer. I’m only doing this so you won’t take more lives, just like what you did to Verix and Gesta.” Devon sighed. “I can’t deny the fact that the murder of your husband and son are in fact my fault. But wouldn’t it be unfair to pin ‘all’ the blame
Devon’s uneasiness keeps getting worse and worse by second. His breathing is heavy, his gaze is teetering back and forth, and he can barely walk straight and has to lean to the sides of the wall. He tapped into his inside realm to find out what is the main cause of the nauseating feeling he has been experiencing.As he dives deep into his consciousness, there he found Dietrich waiting for him in the complete darkness of his soul. “You’re here at last.” Greet Dietrich, in which Devon instantly remarked. “Hey, Dietrich. What’s happening? Why am I feeling so uneasy?”“I assume that the demons inside you are getting wild, it seems that they have detected their own mortal danger and starts to wreak havoc.” Explain Dietrich.The not so surprised Devon knows it might be because that he has saw the Elohim Essaim, and the demons also witnessed their own death. In order to save themselves, they are trying to take over Devon’s body and destroy the Elohim Essaim before it destroys them.“
As Rudeth’s back is on the wall. Reinforcement of Gallant Rose, Shareen, and even Cecillia appeared just in the nick of time to help Rudeth slay the frenzied Devon.“Rudeth, you’re bleeding!” Approach Roxanne and immediately tends to Rudeth’s wound. She casted a healing magic and Rudeth’s injuries starts to fade. As Roxanne tended to Rudeth's wounds, the rest of the Gallant Rose moved into position to face the demon king. They could see the desperation etched on each other's faces as they gazed upon their once-beloved Devon, now a mere puppet in the hands of the seven demons.Francesca's voice quavered as she called out to Devon, her heart aching with the knowledge that her friend was gone. "Devon, please! You have to fight this! Please come back into your senses!"Arwen stepped forward, determination in her eyes. "Don't give up, Devon! You're stronger than this! You can overcome the demons inside you!"But despite their heartfelt pleas, Devon remained unresponsive, her eyes e
Without waiting any longer. Hudson requested that he would return to the Kingdom on the next day. He thanked Rudeth, Devon, and the girls for letting him stay there for one night.Hudson returned back to see the King and he showed the legal documents that stated about Conrad adopting Devon. While giving him the documents, Hudson also reported about how charismatic Devon was there. Many people welcomed him and felt happy to be with him. He was surprisingly good at handling administration too. Plus, he was still young and had such a great ambition to make everyone live in peace. It made him the best candidate to be a new Duke.“Oh, this is legit! And I believe your evaluation is a top notch.” The King was very pleased. “We will elect Devon as the new Duke of Wenovitch duchy. This is an order! Make the announcement and get ready for the coronation!” The King has ordered.Soon everyone started to get busy with their tasks. Devon and Rudeth was given a message from the King. It said that D
Devon and Rudeth was on their way to go back to Wenovitch Duchy. One of the King’s minister, Hudson joined up with them because he got a task from the King. Hudson told Rudeth and Devon the purpose of his visit to Wenovitch duchy was to find something that could be useful to decide the best candidate to be the new Duke. Rudeth and Devon said that they would help him out once they got there.“Anyway, I think you guys are so lucky. I have seen how Duke Conrad achieved many things in the past. He was such a great paladin. Knowing that he was defeated by the likes of you was indeed very amazing. I bet you guys have outstanding force.” Hudson expressed his opinion while trying to praise Rudeth and Devon. However, deep inside, Hudson seemed dissatisfied. He expected Rudeth and Devon defeated Duke Conrad elegantly by making use of their brain more than using brute force.That opinion got into Devon’s nerve because he could feel that this damn minister was still looking down at him. “Thank yo
On the next day, Rudeth and Devon went together to the Kingdom early in the morning. The carriages were all full with the prisoners including Lady Feya. The journey took about six hours until they finally arrived in the Kingdom.The King’s men excused themselves to bring all the prisoners to their dungeon. In front of the kingdom’s palace, a man was waiting for Rudeth arrival. He looked so formal with those noble costume and that shiny accessories.“Welcome, Baron Rudeth. I am Hudson. I will guide you to have an audience with the King.” Hudson introduced himself. His politeness somewhat made Devon felt uneasy. Devon could feel that that guy was looking down on him.Hudson guided Rudeth and Devon while giving them a simple tour. The palace was so big and luxurious. It was the first time for Devon to come in a very fancy place like this. He thought that the mansion was the best house he has ever seen. But now, he changed his mind.Looking at how Devon got excited to see the palace, Huds
Rudeth sent a messenger to report the case of demonic summoners to the King. The messenger brought a document written by Baron Rudeth and gave it to the ministry. He also explained the case that happened in Wenostra.The King received the report. One of the ministers in the throne room read the document written by Rudeth. In brief, the report explained about the case related to Wenovicth nobles. The Wenovitch family secretly created an organization that allowed them to make a pact and summon demons. This kind of practical was actually forbidden. Then, there was also a report that Rudeth and his party managed to capture lots of nobles doing the same practice as Wenovitch family.Hearing this kind of achievement, the King looked so happy. There were actually lots of reports back then regarding the similar case. However, the King and his subordinates could find perfect clues and proofs. Plus, lots of nobles were working together and they tried to cover each other making it hard for the K
Devon and Rudeth were discussing about how to start their hunting on the demonic cults. First of all, Rudeth has prepared lists of noble names in Wenostra. Devon read the list and he thought that his group right now was not enough to fight against those many nobles. After the fall of Wenovitch and the case that happened last night, it would be possible that the enemies were forming an alliance and get prepared to raid on Devon. They could even make use of the commoners to fight alongside them by threatening or brainwashing the commoners.“I see. Our number is not enough, right?” Rudeth asked for confirmation.“Yes, sir. Even if we have such a great power, we don’t have a clue about the enemies’ power. There might be enemies who contracted more powerful demons than Gesta’s.” Devon explained his opinion.“Ok! I will take are about the armies.” Rudeth got an idea. “I will send a letter to my students in Gallantros. They will surely come and help us!” Rudeth looked so optimistic.“Woah,
Devon then tried to practice some of his available skills such as his Master of Wit skill. The sensation was still the same. He could see a vision like a radar with lots of blue dots in it. Then he tried to grab the Midas Touch. He tried to touch the fresh fruit and it suddenly turned into gold.“Woah, Devon! That’s amazing!” Rudeth looked so overjoyed to see that Devon still got his skills and all of his belongings.Fransesca tried to grab the Invisible Cloak. When she wore the cloak, she went invisible just like how it used to be. Even if the artifact was used by another person, it was still effective.Devon tried to look around again to see if there were any other things missing. All the artifacts were all there plus he could see a bucket of money right beside the bed.“What even there are lots of money!?” Devon was shocked. He had Midas Touch with him and he thought that was enough for him to keep his wealth, but that lots of money was a bit too much for him.“Oh my god. Devon, yo
Devon has revived. He went back alive after he experienced being in a dream world like in afterlife. He has been asleep for a whole week. It made the others misunderstood his status. However, they kept on believing that Devon would return back to their side.He looked around and saw all of his dear people looked so happy with tears staining their cheeks. Vinette was right beside him, holding his hands with the loudest cry.“Brother!” Vinette hugged her brother and poured all of her tears. She was so happy that her brother returned back to stay by her side. She has been living in miserable life being held in the mansion. She was hopeless back then. But soon after she was rescued and knew her brother was coming as her savior, she was so grateful the she began to think about her future in a brighter way.“Vinette…” Devon called his sister. He patted her head and caressed her with love. “I’m back. So, please don’t cry… Or I’ll… I’ll cry too…” Devon burst in tear. He could not hold his gre
Devon staggers as Lahat Chereb pierces his body straight through his heart. Rudeth lets go of his grip on the sword and embeds it into the Demon King. The sword blazes violently as the Demon King Azazel screams in agony. The roar is so excruciating that even his armies of skeletons writhe in pain as if they have also been pierced by the holy sword.Eventually, the armies of skeleton start to disintegrate. Their bones start crumbling to dust, and their flames are extinguished into ashes, as if melting in the sunlight. While Azazel, with the sword still planted in his body are being engulfed by the sacred flame.“Aghh! Curse you, mortal! How dare you defy me! If only this damned sword does not exist, then you will kneel at my mercy!” The demon king throws curses and insults at Rudeth. But he just stood motionless since he just emerged victorious and the humanity is now saved and is now taking in the moment.After being burned alive by the Lahat Chereb for quite a while, the Demon King’s
The group is thrown into chaos as a battalion of bones marches towards them with an unrelenting pace. They stand frozen, uncertain of how to confront the situation. The glimmer of hope they had previously held onto from their victory over Devon, now feels like a distant memory. The air is thick with tension, as the group stands face to face with their formidable foe.As they engage in battle, the group begins to realize that their enemy is unrelenting. No matter how many bones they knock down, it feels like there's no end to the onslaught. Shareen, in a state of panic, continuously fires her holy arrows, but the numbers seem endless. The atmosphere is fraught with desperation, as they realize that they are outnumbered and outmatched. “How are we supposed to handle this? There are too many of them!" Said Shareen“We need to fall back!” Yelled Rudeth, informing the party to retreat against the impossible fight. The group unanimously agreed and proceeds to perform an escaping maneuver.
