On a dark planet far from Earth, where the sun never shines, a seemingly young man was seen sitting comfortably on his throne in a castle in one of the eight unique cities.Although outwardly he was a young man, on the inside, he was just an old man who had lived for many centuries.He sat on his throne with his legs traversed. Judging by his face, he clearly didn't look happy.Well, not that he was ever happy. As a demon leader, he hardly had time to rest or take care of himself because he was always busy taking care of the city's affairs, so he was never happy. Every day many demons were put to bed, and every day many demons died as well, so it's a constant process of building up and breaking down, and the same goes for the resources needed to maintain them."I wonder what this idiot is doing on Earth right now," Lord Baagul thought aloud.This has become a habit. He always speaks out his thoughts whenever he was alone."Tania and Odin should be back by now. What's holding them? If
Erix was furious.Shota's movements were so fast that he didn't even know when he got close enough to hit him.Erix wasn't angry at Shota, he was angry at himself. He had gotten distracted and was now paying for it with his face.He also broke his spinal cord as his back was the most affected by the impact.Several pieces of debris fell as Erix hit the wall. He had hit the exact spot he hit earlier after Shota's blow.[-20 HP][Blood bank auto-activated][40/40 HP]Erix's injuries, which had been slow to heal, now began to heal faster. A few seconds later, all the injuries on his body healed, including his broken spinal cord.Erix lifted him off of the ground when he felt that all the injuries on his body were gone. The reason he didn't get up right away was that he didn't want the people there to see his unnatural healing ability.He had already caused quite a stir when he displayed his blood slash, and if he added another one now, it might arouse unnecessary suspicion and he didn't w
Erix and Shota made their way back to their room.When they got there, it turned out that Rin was already back. He was lying on the bed with his back, resting.When Erix was about to pass Rin's bed to go to his, he happened to catch sight of Rin's watch and immediately froze in shock when he saw the number now displayed on it.Rin had leveled up twice since he had last checked his level. He was now at level eight.Erix shifted his gaze to Rin's body to check if anything was different, and sure enough, Rin's body had changed quite a lot that he hadn't noticed until now.He looked more muscular and masculine now than before. He also seemed to have gotten a little taller, just a little.His chest stood out more than usual, which surprised Erix. And even the weight and size of his arm had apparently increased as well.'What the hell is going on here? Humans don't grow this way. Why is Rin getting better at everything so fast?' Erix wondered as he continued to scan Rin's body as though he w
After several discussions, it was finally time for Rin to leave. And he left quickly, without wasting any time.Nicole had joined in the discussion just before Rin left."Are you sure he's going to be okay?" Nicole blurted out, looking at Erix. Her tone showed that she was worried."Absolutely, he'll be fine. He can protect himself well enough unless he is outnumbered." Erix replied confidently."How so?" Nicole asked. "Don't forget he's only a level 4 ability user. Well, I can say that his ability is pretty strong and useful in battle, but that alone will not be enough to win a fight readily?""And who says he is only a level 4 ability user? Perhaps you don't know, but he has improved over time. He's at level 8 now, so I'm sure he'll be able to protect himself well." Erix explained."Oh, I see, then I should stop worrying about him," she replied with a smile.Orah was a little jealous when he heard Nicole's words.'Will she be bothered when I am in danger?' Orah thought, but he had no
Erix looked at his wristwatch and saw Rin's name displayed on the screen.'If he didn't call me, he wouldn't call any other person.'Not wanting to waste time, Erix quickly picked up the call."Hey, Rin, what's up…" Erix was interrupted by Rin's distress, yet a loud voice."You guys, don't come…don't come here. He is planning something very…" at this point, the call quickly disconnected."Rin! Rin! Don't hang…Damn!" Erix gritted his teeth in frustration when he realized the call was no longer going.Shota, Rin, and Nicole knew immediately after hearing Erix's worried voice, that all wasn't right."What's going on, Erix? Is something wrong?" Shota asked as he sprang down from his bed in a quick go."What did Rin say?" Rin and Nicole asked in unison."I didn't hear him very clearly as he was stuttering every now and then, but I think he said we shouldn't come there. I don't care, I'm going there right now," Erix proclaimed before he jumped down from his bed and rushed toward the door."I
Rin was shocked to hear what Quito had just said. Their plans have been busted. Quito knew everything. He had just been playing along the whole time and they hadn't even noticed. After what Quito had revealed, there was only one question Rin had in mind: how the hell did Quito know?Instinctively, Rin began to step back. If what Quito said was indeed true, then it was very likely that he'd attack or even kill him at any time, so he made sure to keep a good distance from him."I don't know what you're talking about, what plan are you talking about? I came here to fulfill my own part of the deal, so what are you talking about?" Rin pretended not to know, still backing away.Surprisingly, Quito and his men didn't advance, even though he kept backing away. Rin, who had a high IQ, thought this was rather strange. Weren't they afraid that he might run away?However, he soon realized the reason why they didn't advance when he heard a rustling behind him. Quickly, he turned around and saw fou
"City market... Come on, let us go," was the only word Quito said before running toward the city market. Shota, on the other hand, didn't ask any questions and simply followed Erix. After a few minutes, Erix was already standing in front of the forest Orah had described to him. "Are we there?" Shota asked, looking around to see if he could find a sign of anyone. "Yeah, it should be this forest. Orah said he was going to check it out. I think we should go in too," Erix replied before walking towards the entrance of the forest and Shota followed him. However, they had not gone far from the entrance when they heard a voice from behind. "Not so fast, guys. You'll have to pass us before you can enter this forest, hehe," a voice said with a chuckle. Erix and Shota quickly turned around when they heard that voice and saw three sturdy guys standing behind them with their arms crossed. "Who the hell are you?" Erix asked, not recognizing their faces. "Hehe... You don't need to know that
'I think it's time for an epic entrance,' Orah thought with a sly smile on his face.Without wasting time, he raced towards the boy who had prepared a fist of rock to smash Rin's head.Orah fired three blood slash attacks at the boy and severed his head with a clean cut."Who the hell is that?" Quito asked, looking down at one of his men who lay bleeding on the ground, obviously not going to survive.Orah's speed was so incredible that none of them was able to see him. And with that speed, he ran around Quito and his men, killing each and every one of them with his blood slash, leaving only Quito.Finally, he stopped running, but not after he punched Quito in the face, sending him crashing into the nearest tree."Hey, asshole, how are you?" Orah asked, crunching down on Rin."How did you find me? What about the others? Did they fall into that trap Quito was talking about?" Rin instantly asked with mixed emotions."My wings helped me find you, but what trap are you talking about?" Orah

In the fifth city of the planet of demons, the darkness was absolute. The only source of light was the dimly red light coming from the sky. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, a young lady could be seen walking down the street. Her long red hair fluttered in the chilly wind as she made her way to her destination.The demons on the streets recognized her instantly. She was none other than Tania, the famous saintess of the tenth city. Her reputation preceded her, and the demons knew her for her unparalleled strength and her unwavering respect for the demon laws. They were surprised to see her walking down the street of the fifth city at this hour, and they couldn't help but wonder what brought her out of her abode.As Tania walked past them, she maintained a cold and expressionless face. Her demeanor was as stoic as ever, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in her mind. She continued walking, lost in thought until she finally arrived in front of a modern and decent bungalow.Wi
Lord Julian led Erix, Shota, and Orah up a grand staircase to the second floor of his regal mansion. The walls were adorned with paintings of famous battles and landscapes. Once they reached the top, he turned and gestured towards a door on the left."This will be your room," Lord Julian said. "I hope it'll suffice for your stay here."When they entered the room, they admired the room.The furniture was made from the finest wood on the planet and decorated with intricate engravings. There was a large three-poster bed, a vanity table with a mirror, and a fireplace to keep them warm during the colder nights.Shota nodded with admiration "It's habitable. Not bad."Orah examined the room carefully, old habits from his training, and started to make a list of any potential security risks. When he was finished, he said, "It's perfect. Better than that crappy rubbish from earlier."Lord Julian noticed the absence of Scott and raised an eyebrow. "Where is the servant goblin? Did he not wish to
The ruthless demon towered over the cowering goblin, its eyes glowing red in the dim light of the forest.The goblin had lost all of his comrades in the battle that had been raging for minutes and was now at the mercy of the demon that had led the attack."Please, spare me," the goblin pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. "I surrender."The demon let out a deep, thundering laugh. "Very wise of you, little goblin," Orah growled. "You have made the right choice. I will let you live. But there are consequences."Instead of killing the goblin, however, the demon did something unexpected. He looked the goblin straight in the eye and muttered words in a language the goblin did not understand.Suddenly, the goblin felt a strange sensation coursing through his body. He paled, but at the same time, a strange sense of loyalty blossomed within him. He looked up at Orah with wide eyes and suddenly realized what had just happened."You... you manipulated my mind just like your friend did with Ro
Erix heaved a sigh when he heard what Orah said. Orah had deliberately spoken of the rebellion to give him no choice but to agree with his words, and it had really worked.Definitely, they wouldn't let the goblins go after learning of their plan for fear of being exposed. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they must kill the goblins to silence them. There are other ways to silence them without actually killing them.As much as Erix had the urge to kill the goblins for the sake of exp, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain loyal servants who undoubtedly would bring more benefits than just the immediate gain of exp.Thus, instead of complying with Orah's appeal, he acted differently."No, we won't kill them. They'll be useful to us if we have them as servants. I don't want us to waste them by killing them," Erix told his friends."How are we going to tame these losers anyway? Why don't we kill them now to save ourselves the trouble of doing that in the future?" Shota spoke up, soun
Erix and his friends delved deeper and deeper into the forest as they talked to relieve their boredom.However, that was only until they came upon a group of seven goblins, armed to the teeth.They stopped a short distance away from the goblins before they were seen.The goblins carried spears, bows, arrows, and many other vicious weapons."What should we do now? Go back?" Orah asked in a very low tone."These guys are armed. They are not like any other goblins we have encountered so far. Maybe we should leave before they see us," Erix asserted. In his opinion, he found it pointless to waste their strength fighting the goblins."Come on, it'll be fun to fight these losers. Only I can take them out at once," Shota said with excited eyes. However, seeing that none of his friends reciprocated this enthusiasm, he sighed and said, "Fine, if that's what you want, then... Ahhh!!!" Shota cried out and jumped up in startlement.A few seconds later, a rat ran out from under the ground where he h
In the portal room inside military base two, a purple opening appeared from which five soldiers emerged.The soldiers were the military team that had gone to look for the students who had gotten lost inside a beast planet. However, they had returned empty-handed, believing that the students were no longer there.They saw it with their own eyes as the students dissolved into red, invisible dust."Everyone, except Leo, can go back to their domains and rest. I'll report to the General Staff with Leo," General Stanley announced shortly after they arrived.They all nodded and went on their way. But all of them except Leo.General Stanley looked at Leo and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this? Roaming about Camuti alone is dangerous, you could even die there."Although he was always envious of Leo and his impeccable way of doing things, he didn't wish him death.Leo's face was cold and expressionless. He only nodded but said nothing."If you say so. Just know that you don't have to kill
Josh was a little startled when he heard that. He didn't know why, but Erix's words made him anxious and frightened. He tried to put up a calm facade, but that immediately crumbled as Erix approached him.Erix walked towards him calmly and with a cold expression. He didn't look excited or angry.'But he's only human,' a thought popped into Josh's head. 'What if this is only a technique to intimidate and disorient you? He may have super healing, but he's not invulnerable to death, so be smart. Kill him when you get the chance.'Josh's courage immediately picked up as this thought crossed his mind.He got into a fighting stance and laughed nervously, "Come on, little human. You can't scare me."Erix chuckled when he heard this. He pronto activated his light wing boots and transported himself behind Josh, invisible as a bullet."How about now, are you afraid of me?" Erix asked in a whisper, chuckling. He wasn't attacking Josh yet. He just wanted to scare him a little.Josh was terrified
