Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 69: Fooling Around With His Brainwashed Followers
Even though Caleb was still very much creeped out by the skill, he didn't hesitate to abuse it. Since the demon rats wouldn't be missed, he put them to work and had them reveal anything they knew. Unfortunately, it didn't yield any results. Since they were disposable, they didn't really know much and couldn't properly convey it to him because of their speech problems.However, he was able to confirm that they would lead him to the next if he really wanted them to. While he wanted to jump on the idea, he knew better than to go through with it. He didn't know how long the brainwashing would last. What if it suddenly wore off while they were leading them to where the nest was or right as they were in the middle of the nest? Things could get ugly.No, he needed to wait for the brainwashing to wear off before brainwashing them again. Caleb monitored them for a week, but the brainwashing showed no signs of wearing off. In that time, other demons came to investigate, like he had expected. The
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 70: Preparing to Attack the Demon Rat Nest
When another week passed, Caleb had enough. There didn't appear to be any signs of the brainwashing wearing off, and it probably never will. He couldn't say for sure, but it was beginning to look like that was the case. In that case, there was no point in waiting longer to see when it would wear off. Their territory had been constantly harrassed by several demons already.Other demon rats had been sent as well, but Caleb had them easily subdued and brainwashed. They couldn't give him any valuable information either, but he now had a dozen brainwashed demon rats. That would mean his army was two dozen strong if he included himself. They should be more than enough to attack the demon rat nest.Of course, he couldn't leave their own nest unprotected. While they were gone, some other demons might invade the place to take it for themselves. Since he had no faith in the brainwashed demon rats, it meant his own followers had to be left behind to stand guard. He also had to determine how many
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 71: Heading for the Demon Rat Nest
Caleb's followers rushed towards him, even those who couldn't have possibly heard him. They lined up in front of him, with the brainwashed followers in front of his regular followers. His eyes scanned the assembled demon rats to make sure they were all there. All twenty three demon rats were waiting to hear why he had them assemble."It is time," he said.The quicker ones were quick to catch on to what he was saying and vibrate in place. Seeing how excited they were was a bit unnerving. He still sometimes thought of them as the baby demon rats he cared for, but he forced himself to ignore it. Of course, the brainwashed demon rats didn't react at all and simply stared at him with blank expressions."We will be attacking the enemy nest," Caleb clarified to make sure everyone was on the same page.The ones that hadn't caught on immediately perked up as Gloria asked, "When will we be leaving?""We will be leaving right away. There's no need to postpone it any longer," he said. "However, s
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 72: Attacking the Demon Rat Nest (1)
As soon as the words left his mouth, his followers rushed forward to stand in front of him. They were prepared to take on whatever they were about to face. Caleb didn't think to retake the lead. He was perfectly happy to stay behind them and let them do all the work. Admittedly, it felt a little scummy to use his followers as a shield.Of course, he didn't count the brainwashed ones. If they died, he wouldn't bat an eye. He would be a little upset over losing the meatsheilds, but it wasn't like they swore to serve him or he had raised them himself. It might even be better to let the enemy destroy itself. That way, he didn't have to worry about the brainwashed demon rats after the fight.Suddenly, a couple demon rats burst out of the cave entrance. Immediately, the brainwashed demon rats in the front attacked. They sank their teeth and claws into the unsuspecting demon rats. Since the numbers coming out of the cave were small compared to his forces, it didn't take long for his forces t
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 73: Attacking the Demon Rat Nest (2)
None of his followers hesitated to approach the cave entrance, with the brainwashed taking the front, the giant demon rats in the middle, and Caleb at the end. Caleb had the brainwashed form two lines. Numbers six through eight would be in the very front, followed by numbers nine through twelve. This was a way to prevent all of them from being wiped out right off the bat.Since the cave entrance was quite large, two giant demon rats could pass with some space between each other and the walls. That was why he had Gloria and Helen act as the third row. Matthew and Tina were his last line of defense as they entered the cave. With the sun setting, they didn't have much light to rely on as they walked inside.Caleb debated for a moment about using [Fireball] to light up the path. It would allow them to see where they were going, but the enemy would also be able to see them too. However, given the circumstances, they were already at a disadvantage. Making sure the skill wouldn't hit them, C
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 74: Attacking the Demon Rat Nest (3)
The demon rat leader stared at the entrance to the inner sanctum. It had heard the traps go off a while ago, but there hadn't been any death throe cries. In the beginning, there had been screams at intervals. However, it was strangely quiet. It didn't believe for a second that the enemy had died without making a sound. All the traps were perfectly designed to prolong the enemies' suffering.After some deliberation, it pointed at a couple demon rats and ordered, "Go look."They hesitated. None of them wanted to go, but they reluctantly obeyed. As their leader, they had no right to refuse its orders. It had been their leader for several months, proving itself to be stronger than all of them. However, that didn't mean they were satisfied following it. All of them were waiting for a chance to overthrow it and take its place as the leader of the nest.The trio of demon rats approached the entrance and stared into the darkness. The only light source in the room was the fire that was set up
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 75: Attacking the Demon Rat Nest (4)
Caleb's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when a purple gas spilled out of her mouth. That wasn't something a demon rat should be able to do. He would know since he fought them plenty of times in the game. Even though he didn't know what kind of effect it had, he wasn't willing to wait around and find out. She needed to be dealt with right away before she filled the whole place with poison gas."Attack the leader," he ordered as he entered the fray.Using [Fireball], he launched several fireballs in her direction. Shutting her mouth, she darted away to hide behind the rock formation she was previously standing on. He quickly realized it wasn't only to avoid his fireballs, as the fireballs collided with the purple gas. Suddenly, the whole world lit up, blinding and deafening everyone in the cavern.When Caleb recovered, he saw that everyone had been blown back by the force of the explosion. Those unfortunate enough to be within range were blown to shreds. Luckily, none of them ha
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 76: Absorbing the Enemy Demon Rats into the Army
It was almost pitiful how easy it was to clean up the forces after dealing with their leader. The keyword being almost. Caleb studied the demon rats in front of him. His estimate of how many there were had been right. There were about sixty of them. Of course, that wasn't including some of the ones that had been killed. Some of the bodies were too mutilated to guess which part belonged to whom.There was also the explosion from earlier. Caleb was pretty sure some of the demon rats that had been unfortunate enough to be close to the explosion had been vaporized. He had no way of proving that, though, so he had no way of knowing the original number unless the enemy was willing to offer up that information to him. Well, there was no point in knowing anyway.What was the point of knowing how many there were to begin with if they were dead? The dead weren't going to be integrated into his army. He wasn't some kind of necromancer. Actually, now that he was in the game, he wondered if there
