Far away from the place where Roxanne was searching for the herbs, Devon and his friends were also searching for the wise man’s house. Arwen led the way because she probably the only one who was familiar with this forest.“Arwen, are you sure this is the right way? We won’t get lost, right?” Devon doubted his elf friend because it has been more than an hour and they stii could not find the wise man’s place.“Don’t worry, bro Dev! I’m sure this is the right path.” Arwen seemed confident. She kept on looking around to find clues about the wise man’s traces. “Move on! Are your legs killing you?” The elf tried to encourage Devon who started to move slower.“Can we take a little rest? We have been through many obstacles and it drained up my strength!” Devon looked very tired. Indeed he has been facing some difficulties back then and overcoming problems. The seven demons inside would also gave him stress every time they mock him in his mind.“What a lame. You are a man, right?” Fransesca sm
“We need to help her!” Devon instructed his friends to get ready for battle. Devon took his dagger and was ready to fight those furry beasts.Fransesca prepared her bow and arrows and started to aim her target at one of the wolves. Arwen took her sword and she was going side by side with Devon. They were ready march in.There were a total of six wolves at sight. All of them were giving their bloodlust at the poor girl in red dress. However, the poor girl did not seem to waver. She acted calmly while looking at those hungry beasts.Roxanne was enchanting a magic. She raised her right hand and a red magic circle appeared right in front of her.“Flame shot!” Roxanne shouted a spell of fire magic. From the magic circle, balls of fire started to appear and they were launched to the direction where the gray wolves were standing.Two wolves got hit by the fire attack. Both of the wolves were wounded and part of their body was burnt. While the other four wolves started to charged toward the m
“By the way, what are you doing here alone in the forest?” Devon asked the red-dress girl after making sure that all the wolves were really dead. He looked at the basket Roxanne was holding. He could see fishes and some plants he was not familiar with.“Uhh, I was picking up some herbs. But before I realized there were wolves surrounded me.” Roxanne explained her situation.“What about those fishes?” Fransesca did not miss the existence of the fishes in the basket.“Oh, the fish? I caught the fishes earlier because I want to make food with these.” Roxanne answered Fransesca’s question.“Sis Roxanne can cook!? You can be a wonderful wife someday!” Arwen became more amazed to know about Roxanne. Meeting a human with great potentials made Arwen want to learn a thing or two. “Could you please teach me how to cook?”“Eh, what? Oh… “ Roxanne was confused. Because she has been away from the society and she seldom made contact with other people. She was nervous. She only talked with her maste
Roxanne guided Devon and his two friends to walk through the forest. There was indeed no visible roadway that could lead them to the wise man’s cottage. Arwen tried to remember the track in case later she wanted to meet with Roxanne again to learn something or maybe asking the wise man itself because he must be having lots of knowledge. Fransesca felt calm because she did not sense any danger along the way. It seemed like the wild animals were not around this area. Devon on the other hand was the only who felt nervous. Not only because he was going to meet the wise man who could give solution toward his case but the demons inside him started to bully him again.“There you go again. Being shameful! How could you be so weak unlike those girls?” Lucifer scolded Devon for being useless. He knew it when the girls were fighting against the wolves and also the way the girls bravely slaughter the wolf’s corpse to get meats. But the weak boy could only watch for almost the entire incident.“I’
After hearing that super rare case Dietrich began to fall deep in his thought. A human hosting seven demons sounded impossible. Dietrich wanted to confirm it himself later after they had lunch.“So, you are here because you want to ask about a way to undo the contract?” Dietrich really knew what Devon’s main intention of coming here.“If there is a way like that. I would be happy to know.” Devon responded looking worried.“I might be able to perform some kind of exorcism magic. But I want to know first about the demons. Do you know the names of those demons?” Dietrich decided that he would try to do exorcism and it gave Devon a slight hope.“the names are… Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan, Mammon, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Asmodeus.” Devon fluently recalled the names of the seven demons.“WHAT!? Seriously!?” Dietrich became more shocked after hearing those names. He knew well that those names actually referred to names of Great Demon Lord that represented the greatest sins of humans. “How can de
Dietrich failed to get rid the demons inside Devon’s body. The wise man had used his powerful abilities before but that was not enough. He demons might be much stronger if they could absorb negative energy from Devon. That Lucifer demon was really something. Among all the demons Dietrich has met, Lucifer was the only who could make him shudder. He could sense the ultimate evil.“Devon, are you alright?” Dietrich tried to comfort the boy.Devon looked scared since he woke up. He was frozen with his blank eyes and trembled body.“Devon?” Dietrich tried to call his name. It seemed like has not fully conscious.Devon still could not respond. His body was shaking.“Get a hold of yourself, son!” Dietrich raised his right hand and touched Devon’s shoulder. A sweet and comfortable light shone over Devon’s body. Dietrich used his healing magic.Slowly Devon began to feel comfortable but he still could not get rid the echoing voices of the demons inside who commanded him to kill Dietrich. The d
Suddenly a dark aura started to engulf Devon’s body. Devon started to wake up and stand up. He looked at the surrounding. And once his eyes capture the wise man figure, he laughed.“Hahaha. We meet again, old man!” Devon laughed with his evil aura. One demon successfully possessed Devon.“Which demon are you?” Dietrich asked and stayed in his calm state. He did not show any fear.“Ah right, where is my manner, Goddamn it!” The demon started to show his politeness before he went berserk and destroy everything. “I am Leviathan, the Demon of Envy. I always hate people who are better than me and I will do whatever to make them suffer! You got a title wise man, right? It really makes me sick. What about you give up on that title or bring that along to your grave!”Leviathan started the battle. He summoned many flame spears through magic circles he created around him. The spears wee launched mercilessly toward the wise man.The wise man has expected that Leviathan would use the ranged attac
After the intense battle was over with Dietrich and Roxanne winning it, the group returned to the cottage. Fransesca helped the weaken Devon walking while Roxanne and Arwen carried Dietrich. Once they were arrived ,Dietrich was treated by his apprentice. Roxanne used her advanced healing magic and it managed to heal some wound but there were some burn marks that she could not remove completely. The fire magic used by the demon was really something. While Devon was given a drink to make him feel better.“Dev, are you feeling better now?” Fransesca asked. She cared about her friend so much that she looked very worried.“Yeah… My head is still hurt tho.” Devon responded. He could hear the demons in his mind were making commotion again.Arwen and Roxanne came soon after. Both of them told Devon that Dietrich was now sleeping quietly. The wise man was not badly injured only got some burn wound and it might be healed anytime.“Devon, you should ease your mind. It might be bad if the demons
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.
