[NEW MISSION]
[DEFEAT 30 ENEMIES][REWARD : 500 DC][TIME LIMIT : 2 HOURS][PENALTY : LOST CONSCIOUSNESS]“Ah, new mission appeared.” Devon was ready to execute his attack. With his upgraded strength, Devon believed that he would do better in this current battle.“Does it ask you to do something cruel?” Fransesca Devon about the mission.“Nope. It asked me to defeat thirty enemies in two hours. The penalty is as usual.” Devon explained.“We can help you, bro Dev! We’re gonna make them weak so you can finish them all!” Arwen suggested an idea to avoid Devon being possessed.“Sounds like a good idea. I’m in!” Fransesca began to shoot her arrow and it hit the leg of one enemy.The battle between Devon’s team and Marquise’s henchmen finally started.The minions began to move closer to Devon and his team continuously. Some of them were equipped with knives and armors. The others were wearing an iron knuckles.<The war ended with Devon and Rudeth achieved victory. Rudeth was now taking over the fortress. He asked his students to put Marquise Gillian and all of his alive troops into the jail. For the deceased henchmen, Rudeth asked his students to bury them. However, it was not really over yet. He hoped that his agent would report this case to the King so that everything would really settle down.During the post war, all the citizens were released from the shelter. Since there would be no more danger, they were safe to return back home. Tres and Cecillia still looked after the city in case there were still remnants of Marquise Gillian. Some of Rudeth’s students decided to return to their respective homes after long time of hiding in the hideout. They looked so happy with their blessfull reunions. Tears and joy painted the gloomy city of Gallantros. There would be no fear and worried for the time being.“Devon and the others really did it.” Cecillia seemed so happy. Even th
On the next day, Devon and his friends visited the fortress. The fortress was crowded with lots of people of Gallantros. They looked so excited to see Rudeth would be promoted. It seemed like the ceremony has not started yet.“Wow, so many people here!” Arwen was enticed by lots of people gathered in one place just to see a ceremony. As the only elf in the city, she did not feel anxious for being a minority.“Yesterday we met lot of people too, right? But they were enemies.” Fransesca looked around. There were also people lie royal guards standing in front of the fortress gate.“Should we look around or try coming in?” Devon asked for his friends’ opinion.When they were talking, a man suddenly came to them and greeted them.“Hey, Devon and the girls? Why are you standing here?” Unos greeted them. He just returned from the hideout.“Well, I think we come too earl for the ceremony.” Devon answered.“I see. Let’s wait insi
Rudeth was still puzzled. He could not expect about killing Devon, the boy who has helped him for the revolution. But if it was really true that Devon was bieng the hostage of the seven demons inside him, he thought it might be dangerous too for the boy. Since DIetrich the wise man himself actually decided to choose this path, it must be the best way. But still, Rudeth still needed to convey his determination to do it. That was why he would need some time to think.“Roxanne, I want to talk with Devon. Four eyes with him. Would you please call him out? You and the others can wait outside.” Rudeth asked the lass with bitter face shown.“Alright, Sir Rudeth.” Roxanne left the room and she asked Devon to come inside the room to have a private talk with Baron Rudeth.The atmosphere was quite intense but gloomy all of a sudden. Rudeth could not think about killing this poor boy in his hands.“Excuse me, Baron Rudeth. Did Roxanne finally tell you?” Devon asked.“Yes. More or less. I understa
Rudeth went to the royal library after he finally got his leisure time. He has been going from place to place while attending some meetings with the other nobles. It was quite exhausting. Now was the perfect time for him to search for the knowledge about demons.He arrived in the library and started to look for books related to demons. He believed that this library would provide him the knowledge.“Excuse me, Baron Rudeth.” A scholar greeted Rudeth. He was also looking for some books to read.“Hello, young man. Coming here to read?” Rudeth responded.“Yes, Sir. I used to read here. I think it is my first time seeing you come here.” The scholar looked at Rudeth with curiosity. A big buffed guy visiting library was quite unusual sight.“Well, yes. I got the access recently anyway.” Rudeth was still searching his wanted books but he still could not find it.“I see. By the way what is it that you are looking for, Baron Rudeth? Maybe I can help you.” The scholar offered his help because he
Rudeth needed to think more to make up his mind. He still hoped that there might be an alternative to help Devon without killing him. He was thinking about confronting the demons inside Devon by himself but he did not know how to do it. Dietrich might have done it but failed. That must be the reason why Dietrich ended up asking him to kill Devon, because the negotiation was hopeless.After visiting the library to get more information about Demonology, Rudeth wanted to return to his mansion and took a rest. Rudeth looked around the city after the war ended. He looked so grateful that no big casualties happened. The citizens looked so busy doing their best to rebuild the city. On his way back to his mansion, he accidentally met Roxanne.“Roxanne!?” Rudeth called Roxanne who looked busy helping the citizens in making some potions.Roxanne’s attention suddenly turned to Rudeth. She was so surprised to Rudeth was standing there looking at her and the others. Roxanne decided to approach Rud
After some hours have passed, Roxanne returned to the inn she was staying at with her friends. She wanted to invite the girls to join her visit to Rudeth’s mansion. Right at the outside of the inn, she met with Devon.“Oh, Dev. Where are you going?” Roxanne could see Devon brought a bag with some tools and equipment.“Oh, hey Rox! I’m going to the monastery. I’m going to help the trio with renovating some rooms. Catch ya later!” Devon quickly ran away to the monastery.“Oh my God. How can I be so cruel to him …” Roxanne could feel her guilt rising up again. Looking at how lively and full of spirit Devon was, it made her uncomfortable. “There is no holding back! I must do it!” Roxanne thought that she needed to do it as soon as possible before her sentimentality conquered her even more.Roxanne went inside the inn and tried to look for her friends. Roxanne searched the bedroom but none of them were spotted. She then walked to the kitchen and the girls were all there. It seemed like the
Unos delivered Rudeth’s message to Devon as soon as they done with today’s job. Devon accepted the offer but he needed to go back to the inn first to inform his friends about the banquet.Devon went back to the inn and told his friends about Viscount Klein’s idea to hold a banquet in his mansion. The girls were looking forward to join in the banquet. They looked excited except Roxanne. Devon could see that Roxanne looked a bit down lately. He wanted to ask her directly but he thought that Roxanne might need her time for now. Devon also told the girls that he was going to visit Rudeth because Rudeth wanted to talk with him in private. The girls gave him a good luck and encouraging words and it made Devon felt even better. However, as Roxanne saw Devon left the room and headed to Rudeth’s place, she thought that it would be the last time for her to see Devon with his smile. She thought that Rudeth might want to see him because he already decided to kill Devon soon.D
On the next day, Baron Rudeth was invited by one of his loyal students, Duos. Duos asked his master to follow him to the construction of the monastery. Rudeth agreed and he went there together with his student.Arrived at the designated place, the construction of the new monastery was almost done. Rudeth was very proud of his students. They have done their best to rebuild the monastery. As an appreciation for his students’ hard work, Rudeth planned to treat them all with feast later. The students asked for Rudeth’s opinion about the placement of the furniture in each rooms. Rudeth gladly suggested them about his opinion. While Rudeth was looking around in each rooms in the monastery, he bumped into Devon.“Oh! My apologize, sir Rudeth! I did not see you coming.” Devon apologized. He was busy pulling big furniture with him. Rudeth was a bit amazed because Devon actually got that kind of strength. Rudeth could also see that Devon’s body appearance started to develop.
