Meanwhile, Shota, Rin, and Nicole were still eavesdropping on Erix's conversation with that mysterious demon on the rooftop.The opening episode of their meeting wasn't the nicest one. They had thought Orah would assault Erix, and if so, they were already prepared to run to the rooftop and save him, but such a thing never happened.Orah had unexpectedly burst out in laughter claiming he was joking the whole time he acted like an assailant.Shota would have sprinted to the rooftop when that was happening, but imagining the trouble he would cause Erix if he did that, he settled back down.Rin's curiosity intensified after he heard Orah's voice. The voice sounded familiar.For some reason, his mind kept telling him he had met this person in the past but just couldn't figure out where and when."What do you guys think of the boy? Do you think he is genuine? His statements sounded far-fetched to me," Nicole was the first to speak after a prolonged period of quietude. She turned off the e
Returning to class, the lessons resumed. Leo continued lecturing about the upper-hand fist. But this time was different. He organized a sparring contest to enable students to understand the basis of upper-hand fist and how it's used.The sparring contest consisted of two individuals who would fight each other using upper-hand fist skill and their ability as well.Of course, many students were happy to put the skill Leo had taught them to test as they already saw its effect when Leo experimented on a student using it. Most of all, they were happy to use their ability together with the skill.Erix and Orah returned to class for the remaining lessons of the day.The demon wasn't as bad as he first thought. He was nice and genuine. Demons were supposed to be tricky, showing their nice side only to extort people, but that wasn't the case with Orah.Everything Orah told him was true. Thanks to his eye of skill though, he was unmistakable about that fact.Nevertheless, he was still careful
Orah walked up to the sparring ground the moment he left Erix's side. He wanted to fight another human to see how strong humans really are.If all humans were strong like Leo then what demons believed about humans being weak was wrong.As he walked into the sparring ground, a huge muscular black-haired lad followed suit. He was a level four."This trash seems pretty strong. Hopefully, he entertains me for at least five minutes before passing out," The huge muscular lad muttered with a smile as he walked into the sparring ground.Orah chuckled when he heard that. He really loves the confident type. This was one of the things he loved about humans. Most of them loved boosting about their strength, intimidating the weak, claiming to be the one almighty but in actual sense, they were weak just asses.'This boy is completely my type. I'll teach him to never underestimate a level one ever again,' Orah thought with an invisible smirk.The huge muscular lad walked towards Orah until he was s
Erix got startled the moment someone suddenly pulled his hands from behind without prior notice.But that was until he heard that particular voice he has been avoiding since today.At that moment, he realized he had been caught up in the catastrophe he had been trying hard to avoid.The person was none other than Natasha. When Erix looked up at her face, She looked a little angry and impatient.Erix didn't protest against her. He helplessly let himself be dragged into the obsolete class.The moment they got inside, Natasha locked the door and turned over to him.She wasted no time and commenced with the conversation."Let's not waste our time here, okay? First, why are you avoiding me?" Natasha asked with an intimidating voice that would have scared him if it was his old self.But right now, he wasn't afraid a bit after he heard that.Though he was a bit nervous about how all this would go, he tried not to let it show on his face.The situation would only worsen if he showed his fears,
After Erix heard Nicole's concept, he realized that lying was useless.The girl has already hypothesized possible facts showing he was unusual, so lying would make him look even more suspicious.'I don't have a choice. I should probably tell her the truth now,' Erix thought helplessly.'Wait, I have a plan. Well, not certain about it. Let's say it's under probability. It might work and it might also fail. I just want to let you know that once this plan fails, you will have no other choice but to massacre her. You can do that, right?' Lena suggested.'I won't know if you don't tell me. Let me know about the plan first,' Erix replied.Lena quickly gave Erix a straightforward explanation of her plan. It was simple and short.Her plan was for him to use his charm to make the girl forget everything she knew about him.After the explanation, Erix willingly agreed. Not that he had another choice though. Regardless, he was a little skeptical about the killing aspect, but he still agreed.More
Meanwhile, Shota, Nicole, and Rin headed to the boy's room immediately after school dismissal.While there, they waited for Erix to arrive. As they waited, ten minutes passed, yet, Erix didn't show up."Are you sure he is coming straight here? What if he's still with that demon boy?" Nicole broke the long silence that had been residing in the room ever since the moment they got in."I doubt so. He was supposed to be heading here immediately after dismissal. He will surely be here, undoubtedly," Rin reassured everybody, but Nicole still wasn't convinced."Who knows, that demon might have taken him out of the school while we are here sitting and waiting like pups," Nicole countered with a sigh."Watch it, miss. Rin said he would be here and so let's just wait," Shota snapped at Nicole, the moment he heard her last statement."Stop it guys, I don't want us to have a problem. We shouldn't fight each other, we are on the same team," Rin reprimanded."We aren't fighting, are we miss?" Shota
Along the way, as Nicole returned to her room, she had her palms placed on her flushed cheeks as she walked.Her face was bright red as she kept reflecting on what Rin said.She had intentionally worn additional makeup today. She didn't know why but she just felt like doing it. This morning, she just had that impression, so without having any side-thought whatsoever in mind, she had applied extra makeup."That guy sure knows how to be brazen with words, tch," She muttered as she clicked her tongue in embarrassment.'Maybe he was right, I might have actually had someone in mind while applying extra makeup,' She thought, looking all flushed and rosy.She reached her room after a few minutes' walk. The girls' dorm wasn't that far from the boy's dorm, so the trek in between wasn't that much of a distance.Grabbing the doorknob, she entered her room real quick and shut the door close quickly.Looking over to the side, she saw her roommate. Currently, only two people were occupying the r
"Then let's get this fight started already," Orah declared with a smile. Erix quickly got into stance when he heard that. Orah equally did the same. In this fight, he will be going against a demon noble, so he needs to be fully prepared. He took out his gauntlet from his wristwear.He could have used the Rabi gauntlet but he needed a decent stat increment. And that would only be possible if he uses the Tigclaw.He also activated his chest armor. That one gave him an extra stat increment separately.Putting those two on, he felt slightly stronger and more energetic than his usual body."C'mon, attack me," Orah proclaimed with a smile.Both of them were about 20 meters away from each other.The moment Orah said that Erix activated three blood slash attacks and projected them toward him.Orah smiled heartily when he saw that coming. 'As expected, since he is not that good in hand combats, he will depend greatly on his dark aura,' Orah thought as he drew out his fists ready to bang off

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
