Bobby was the first to recover, and he accurately described how everyone felt. "What the hell. That is kind of a big thing they should have told us."
This was enough to get the others to chime in. All of them were variations on how did she know, why they hadn't been told, and what else the princess was hiding from them. Of course, Luke wasn't actively participating, preferring to watch things play out. Grace was also not saying anything and kept to herself. Luke wasn't sure if this was because she was afraid to speak up or because she had nothing to say.
Eventually, Laurel had enough and said, "Don't bother asking me. I have no clue."
The trio was reluctant to let it go. They wanted answers, but Laura was clearly not having any of it. She already had enough problems on her hands. After being rescued and leaving Luke and his party, she had gone to carry out Luke's request to prevent the sabotage of the tournament. Dealing with the demons that had wanted the sabot

At his words, it jogged everyone's memory of what they should be doing. Honestly, he was a bit terrified that they could have forgotten so quickly, especially Grace. He had believed in her, and she let him down. Of course he shouldn't be holding it against them considering the bombshell Laurel dropped, but they couldn't afford to be so easily distracted in the future.The demons wouldn't give them time to recover their senses after being dealt a mental or psychological blow. In fact, the demons would lean into it and take advantage of their temporary weakness. They would either do more mental or psychological damage until the person's mind or spirit broke, or change tactics to attack them physically. None of those options were something he wanted to happen to his party this time.His party in the previous timeline had the unfortunate experience of dealing with such a case at the beginnin

Despite his intentions, the two of them ended up not talking to each other the whole time. Instead, she had been chatting with Theodore for some unknown reason. It irritated him to see her talking with the guy who had tried to beat her up at their first meeting. Wasn't she there to talk to him about important matters like the demons? So why was she speaking Theodore like she was having fun?If he didn't know any better, he would have thought she was flirting with Theodore. Even if she was, Theodore obviously had no interest in her as he scowled the whole time. Not once did he smile or drop the scowl during their entire conversation. It was honestly quite impressive that he could keep a disapproving look on his face even when he talked. That took some real dedication and showed just how much he disliked her."I think I see your friends," Laura said, indicating that she had effectively div
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 118: End of the Party’s First Quest
The rest of the day ended up not being eventful. There was no demon attack or anything that required their attention. All they had to do was patrol their designated area, but they were otherwise free to do whatever they wanted without any worries. Bobby and Chris had pointed out at one point that it was such an easy and boring job that it was almost like being paid to watch paint dry. Their description wasn't wrong, as all they did was watch.None of the natives wanted their help when Bobby and Chris offered to help. This had left them with little to nothing to do, and the duo did at one point take a nap with Grace standing guard. This earned them a scolding from Luke for abandoning their duty to Grace, who was the weakest member of the party. Bobby and Chris immediately apologized to Grace, who tried to wave it off, but Luke put his foot down.He knew she could be a pushover, but this w
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 119: Relaxing After the Quest
Finally, after much effort, Luke and Grace were able to ditch Theodore. He was surprisingly stubborn for some reason. Luke wasn't sure why Theodore had wanted to stick around them, but they were able to give him the slip by coming up with some excuse about resting too, which had been a total lie. It worked, but it had required them to wait out in their respective rooms until they were sure Theodore was gone.Now that the quest was complete, they could meet up with 'Kayla' with no worries. She had been spending time with her party, but Luke was certain he could get her to leave them long enough to have a proper discussion. He wasn't sure if she was aware of Laurel's presence through their connection, but he needed to make sure. Tracking her down wasn't difficult, as there weren't many places she would willingly go to.Luke and Grace watched from the sidelines as she sparred with Donald. T

The moment they heard the news, they were completely shocked. None of them could believe what they were hearing, especially Luke. While it was true that it was dangerous, this quest's difficulty wasn't high enough to result in death. Serious injuries, yes, but not death. Nobody had died this early on before, at least not at the hands of demons. He needed to find out who the victim was."Who was it?" Luke demanded."It was Franklin Foster," said Bobby.Luke went through his memories and was able to recall that Franklin had been the youngest person in their group. Franklin hadn't been part of their group in his previous life. It wasn't unbelievable that a 12 year old wouldn't be able to stand a chance against demons, especially if he was on his own, even with training. If he wasn't mistaken, the boy had been a warrior class, which meant he couldn't hide in the back and be protected by the other members of his party."Can you tell us exactly what happened?"

Everyone gathered in the courtyard as they waited for the princess to arrive. The solemn atomsphere was so thick it could be cut with a knife. The party that had been seriously injured was close to the front, with Franklin's body covered with a sheet. Even though everyone else was trying to be polite and ignore their appearance, it was hard to ignore all the bandages or the massive injuries that littered their bodies.Some people appeared to be on the verge of becoming sick. It was really a horrific sight for those not used to it. Despite the fact that they had already killed a living being, killing a goblin was not the same as witnessing another human being be injured or killed. While the goblins might have bled red, it was easy for some to pretend the blood wasn't red or for others to block the memory.This would undoubtedly make everyone realize their mortality and take things more se
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 122: Mourning a Fallen Hero (2)
Luke perked up, as he was curious to hear what her plan was. Since what happened couldn't be something she had planned to happen, the princess would have to have come up with it on the spot or it was something she had already planned for in case of emergencies. He wondered which one it was and what the plan entailed."Sir Gilbert has agreed to increase your training tenfold, and several of our knights have volunteered to join the parties. I hope this would ease your concerns," the princess said.If that was all her plan amounted to, then he was sorely disappointed in her. She had been the one to plan his demise, and this was all she could come up with. Granted, he was unaware of many things in his previous life, but still, it was certainly not up to par with what he expected of her. Perhaps he was overestimating her since it was four years into the future. It was possible that she hadn't reached that point yet.Scanning the crowd, he could see others just as unimpressed with her answe
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 123: Mourning a Fallen Hero (3)
The first one to speak up was Alyssa. "Your highness, your support is undeniably welcomed, but will the knights be able to keep up with us? I was under the impression that heroes were more powerful than the kingdom's knights."This caused a few people to stare at her in confusion, while others seemed to catch on to what she was trying to say. The reason why they had been summoned in the first place was because the kingdom couldn't handle the demons on its own. If the knights could fight better than they could, then there would have been no point in summoning them. Luke wondered how the princess was going to get out of this."I understand your concerns. While it is true that only heroes can save the kingdom, it's clear you haven't reached your full potential," the princess said. "Thus, I will entrust your care to my knights until your strength finally surpasses them."
