"Here, grab my hand," Orah said, pulling out his hand to Erix.Erix took his hand and got up.Orah had wasted no time punching him when he tried to get at his back a while ago."You have a very solid fist, man. That was the hardest punch I have ever received in my life," Erix remarked after he got up on his feet."I told you, learn the moves properly before making a move. C'mon, let's resume the training. I won't allow you to interfere until I'm done tutoring you, alright?" Orah said.After that, he began displaying a series of methods one would use to attain proficiency using hand-to-hand combat.Seeing all this, Erix realized how weak he was compared to demons. What Orah said was true, he might be strong and skillful when battling with a human, but in terms of fighting a real demon, he was nothing.All of this made him realize one thing, nothing can surpass decent hand-to-hand combat experience."I'm done showing you all I know about hand-to-hand combat. It's completely up to you no
Two hours later, Natasha began to flutter her eyes open. She was feeling very weak and dropsy. Slowly, she began opening her eyes until they were fully opened.At first, she didn't recognize where she was as the place looked obsolete and unfamiliar but thinking back to what happened before she passed out, her eyes widened in horridness.She quickly jumped down from the desk she was laying on. Her face showed anger and wrath.She clearly remembers everything that transpired before she passed out. Even what Erix told her at the point of going unconscious, she had it all in mind.How the fuck did he leave her here, inside an old dusty class?"That moron!" She exclaimed in anger."I need to calm down, right now. I should find him first. I swear, I'll punch him in the face once I see him. He should have at least taken me to the clinic, but he just left me here like I'm some slum.""I'll deal with that bastard once I see him!" Natasha grumbled angrily before she dashed out of the classroom.
"What if it's death? What if I kill you if I expose my secret?" Erix asked with a smirk.Natasha was left speechless when she heard that question. She had no answer to that. How the fuck would someone waste a life over a little thing like that?"No comments. All I know is that anything we discuss will remain between us," Natasha replied."Fine, if you say so. Just bear in mind that anything can happen if you later resort to running your mouth. Who knows, it might even be death," Erix stated with all seriousness."Are you fucking serious right now? You are threatening me, aren't you?" Natasha snapped at Erix angrily.She was fed up with hearing talks about killing and death."You're gonna assassinate me if I tell anyone your secret, who does that? Anyway, just tell me already. I have no intention of going back on my words, but no one is killing anyone here."Erix chuckled inaudibly when he heard that. He was laughing not because of what she just said, but because of how drastically her
Inside a sophisticated and exquisite room in the third-year building, two second-year boys were seen reporting the current progress of their plan to their boss, Quito.Quito was seated in front of his desktop typing away as his men updated him on the current progress of their plan."Finally, I met with him today and informed him that he would soon be called over," The grey-haired boy concluded the report.Quito stopped typing when he heard that. He looked up at their faces and asked."Don't you think something is wrong?"Upon hearing that, his men twitched their faces in confusion. They didn't understand what he meant, but they didn't dare ignore Quito, so they responded."Huh?""Could you please be more specific, boss?" Quito thought for a moment. "Did any of you do anything strange in Rin? I've got a feeling that he is no longer working for us. I'm not sure, I just have that feeling.""None that I could say. All I notice is him hanging out with his friends and then training alone in
"Why are you two staring at yourselves like that? Did I say something funny?" Shota asked confusedly. He couldn't understand the look on their faces after he mentioned recruiting Natasha to join them."Why do I feel like you're happy about bringing that girl over to our side?" Rin was the person that spoke up. "Do you perhaps have something for her? I'm asking because this is actually the first time you've made such a request. You hardly trust people. Even after everything we and Nicole have been through, you still find it hard to trust her. To be honest, it's strange that you've already trusted Natasha and even thought of recruiting her, don't you think so, Erix?" Shota went bright red after he heard that, further surprising Erix and Rin for this was the first time they were seeing Shota blush like that.This further confirmed their thoughts about him. He really has something for that girl. Though he showed no conspicuous interest when the girl first showed up in their lives, he co
Initially, Orah wasn't taking that fight seriously, but the moment the boy broke his arm, he understood how seriously he would have taken that fight. He didn't want to hurt the boy that much. At least beating him up until the point he would barely stand on his feet was the point he planned to end that fight, but then he saw the boy bring out a dagger to stab him, and that was when he began to understand how serious the boy was taking the fight. He, seeing the boy's seriousness, decided to take the fight seriously too. After all, he made him do it. Performing the leg kick he taught Erix today in one swift motion, the boy dropped to the ground and went unconscious. "That was pretty easy. Besides that Leo guy, I haven't seen a tough human before. Maybe, I should try going on a hunt here like I usually go back in military base three. That way, I might find thieves, bullies, and even rapists, and leverage on them." "It's been a while since I last fed on humans," He said looking at the
Orah gulped down in nervousness when he heard that. To be honest, this girl was too scary for a human. Only her gaze was enough to creep out a typical human. Her gaze was piercing and showed no signs of fear or nervousness at all.'I really hate being vulnerable in front of darlings like this one here,' Orah thought with a sigh."If someone else hears of this, I won't hesitate to pluck your balls out and roast it up, do you understand?" Natasha threatened with an intense voice."But why are you threatening me? I just agreed to keep it secret, yet, you're still threatening me. You should have instead resorted to peaceful dialogue, rather than this…." "One more word from you and I'll begin to roast you right here. Trust me, I will do that," Natasha interrupted quickly. "I have no reason to beg you. You either do what I say or get roasted, you choose one. What you saw me do wasn't for fun. I was only looking for something but ended up grabbing that book. But if you go about running your
Erix chose to find out handy information without making himself obvious and it worked.He didn't begin asking who the cologne belongs to, instead, he did it the smart way to not raise suspicion.'That means I'm correct. If she can tell me where her ex-friend is, then I might be able to locate the girl from that night,' Erix thought.But the question was, how will he do that? He didn't want to ask her directly because he might raise suspicion which might trace the girl's murder back to him if he eventually manages to kill her.Not that she would know it was him though, but at least she might suspect him. "Wow, I love the scent of that cologne. The scent somehow reminds me of someone I met some time ago in the past," Erix said.The moment Erix finished off that statement, Celia's face fell. From what she knew, her ex-girlfriend was the only person that owns such cologne in the whole school. She was sure about that because the girl's family was the only place the cologne was produced an

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
