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.

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.

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
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
The village in the outskirt part of Ettalia town was busy, bustling with life and vigorous activities of the villagers. It was nothing to wonder about, because during this time everybody was focused on reaping what they sowed. Yes, it was harvest time, a moment that was celebrated by the residents with a relieved and joyful expressions. Though the lands they worked on was not theirs to begin with, at least they already secured the food stocks and supplies for the upcoming season. They wouldn’t have to worry about what to eat in the winter, as the landlord would give them their share of collecting the crops in his behalf.Devon’s family was also a part of that annual event. Together they tirelessly gathered the fruits and vegetables which grew so abundantly this year.“Brother, look! This pumpkin is very big! Even bigger than all other pumpkins around!” shouted a young girl to Devon. “With this, I can eat pumpkin soup everyday like I always dream of!”“Hahaha! You’re right, Vinette! Th
The shrill scream of a little girl's heart-rending resounded, bouncing off the rocks on the basement walls of a luxurious mansion in Ettalier, a city in the country of Gazella.The sound of smacking and thumping punches landed on the skinny body of a teenage boy, alternated with the girl's moans which became more and more heartbreaking."Noo, it hurts! Please stop!" The little girl's screams filled the basement, followed by the sound of the men panting behind the girl.“Screw you all!” the boy roared but fell silent again as punches and kicks returned to his body.“Brother, help me! They all hurt me!” the little girl screamed again."Shut up, little slave! This is your punishment!" yelled the voice of a grown man who was still seen swinging the black whip at the dirty little girl's tiny body."Bastard! Let go of my sister! Vinette, hold on, big brother will..." The teenager's words stopped when his stomach received a kick from a young man who was wearing clothes that were far more lux
Hoxha ordered the two men who had been holding Devon's body to drag him to the corner of the room where the water faucet was.One of the men filled a wooden bucket with a rusty handle with water to the brim. Meanwhile, another man stripped Devon of his clothes so that the teenager's body was naked.Hoxha studied the scars and bruises on the teenager's body while shaking his head. He was still not willing if his Young Master made a sacrifice that was not maximal on the night of his initiation.The splash of a bucket of cold water on his innocent body sent Devon back to reality. The horrific scene of the massacre committed against his entire family flashed through his head again.Devon screamed and struggled violently when the waves of reality hit him again until the burly man who was bathing him was forced to hold the emaciated teenager's body with his knees to stop Devon from struggling."Calm down, Kid. Just surrender and all your suffering will end," said Hoxha in a soft voice as he
Devon repeated the wrong spell in his heart because he couldn't make a sound. Devon didn't care whether the creatures he didn't know existed had heard of him or not.He was just trying his best to seek help from any entity that could help him in exchange for whatever the creature wanted."Please, help me out of here and I will give you whatever you ask for," Devon said in his heart."Are you going to give us whatever we ask for? Isn't it just your worthless silly soul?" a deep voice suddenly spoke inside Devon's head.Devon flinched for a moment, but finally, bravely, he dared to answer."Yes! I'll give you everything you want! So get me out of here.""Hmmm, Lucy did you hear what the boy said? Compared to that tackily dressed boy, I prefer an honest boy like this," said the deep voice earlier."Belphy, you're talking to a boy who's about to be sacrificed," Lucifer rebuked Belphegor."But what he said has some truth in it. The boy in the red hooded costume is nothing compared to this

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.
