2023-03-15 00:20:54They were hobgoblins. Even if it was hard to tell from where they were hiding, he was certain they were hobgoblins. Out of all the luck they had to be dealing with hobgoblins. While they were bigger and slightly stronger than goblins, they had a higher chance of having mages, archers, and the like. It was unlikely to encounter a regular hobgoblin.
Could he really take them on? The only person currently with him was 'Grace', and she wasn't someone he could count on. Even if it was Grace who was with him, he would be hesitant to ask her to fight with him. No matter how well meaning she was, the enemies were beyond her scope. Her stats meant nothing when her class restricted her and made her weak. It was simply too dangerous for them to act.
"What are you waiting for?" 'Grace' hissed as she pushed his hand away.
Luke slapped his hand over her mouth again a

Well, there was nothing he can do about it now. What they needed to do right now was to quickly come up with a plan to save Felipe and Bobby before joining up with the rest of the others. Chris and Theodore seemed to be alive, as he hadn't received any notice from the system that they lost one of their party members. However, he couldn't say the same for the knights. He took a moment to glance at his stats.[Luke Hellwalker][Strength: 34][Intelligence: 22][Stamina: 32][Endurance: 29][Dexterity: 23][Mana: 2]His stats had barely gone up th
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 169: Fighting Hobgoblins (3)
The hobgoblins lumbered on as they sought out their prey. They had seen their prey disappear in this direction, but there were no traces of them anywhere. It shouldn't have been hard to sniff them out. As the hobgoblins grew more annoyed, they started picking fights with each other and blaming each other for losing the prey.In the middle of their struggle, they failed to notice one of their members had disappeared. The hobgoblin had seen their prey out of the corner of its eye and had decided to go after them alone. After all, the prey was weak. It had nothing to fear and wanted to seize this opportunity to keep the prey all to itself. That was the last thought it had before Luke decapitated it.Staring at the hobgoblin's corpse, he had to admit he was impressed with Tracy. When he was aiming to pressure her to reveal what she could do, he hadn't expected her to reveal that kind of abil
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 170: Circumstances Change
Before 'Grace' could come to a decision, there was a disturbance. The duo peered around the corner to see a group of goblins looking around. At the sight, Luke physically relax. Goblins and hobgoblins didn't get along. The former picked fights with the latter, and the latter looked down on the former. Then that would mean that since there were goblins here, the hobgoblins wouldn't be around.Luke glanced back at 'Grace' and asked, "Can you at least fight goblins?"She puffed up her chest, and he took that as a sign that she could indeed fight goblins. Without waiting to hear what she had to say, he burst into action and charged at the group of goblins. He could hear her following behind him as he cut down the first goblin before they realized what was happening. Luke was able to kill another one before they retaliated.They came at him with their weapons, hoping to kill them, but they were so lamentably weak that all it took was one hit to kill them. It was pathetic and unsettling. It
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 171: Meeting Back Up (1)
Bobby was really not having a good day. The worst part about it was that it was completely normal now to have a lot of bad days. First, they failed their quest. Then they had to live through a bad memory as punishment for their failure. As if that wasn't enough, they then had to face goblins and deal with Grace's temporary kidnapping. The only good thing about it was that they didn't lose her.He couldn't imagine what would have happened if they couldn't save her in time. Of course, then they had to find a place to stay after they found out they had been in an illusion. When they got to said town, it was abandoned. If that wasn't enough, they discovered that there were demons living there. Now everyone was split up, and he was stuck with a bunch of demons after him without any backup.The reminder that he was on his own made him annoyed. He didn't know what Felipe was thinking by running
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 172: Meeting Back Up (2)
Of course, it was easier said than done. They had been lucky when they found Bobby before anything bad could happen to him. The chances of them getting lucky a second time weren't high. However, what choice do they have? They couldn't just not try to find Felipe. How were they supposed to explain to the other knights that they didn't try to look for him?It was bad enough they had lost track of Felipe, but they had no way of finding the others outside of simply looking for them and hoping they bumped into them. They didn't even have any clues on how to find the others. They didn't leave any clues behind as to where they had gone. Luke still couldn't figure out how they could lose sight of the other group so fast.While it was true that there was a period of time where they had been separated, it was ridiculous that no one heard anything. The other group should have heard them being attac
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 173: Meeting Back Up (3)
Theodore held his sword over his head and swung down as he crashed to the ground on top of a hobgoblin. As the dust cleared, it was clear that the hobgoblin was dead as Theodore pulled his sword free from its corpse. The trio stared, shocked by what they saw. None of them expected to see Theodore appear out of the blue after they had lost sight of him and the rest of his group.Luke was the first to snap out of it as he shouted, "Move."Running out of his hiding spot, he rushed to help Theodore take down the other three hobgoblins. Bobby and Tracy followed after with the former firing his arrow at one of the hobgoblin mages. The bow and arrows he took definitely did more damage than his original ones, as it pierced the hobgoblin's wrist. The fireball it was about to use against Theodore dissipated.It turned to see who had done it, only to get a sword to the face. Theodore grunted as his sword pierced through the back of the demon's mouth. However, it was enough to kill it, as it reac

Tracy waved it off by saying, "It's expected when fighting demons. Even if the ones we're fighting right now don't have brains, they know to go after the weak. They prefer to hunt prey that they perceive to be weak."Her callousness disturbed Bobby, but Luke didn't bat an eye. Theodore didn't either, but he was known as a jerk, so there was no surprise there. It was normal for the weak to be trampled on. Healers were unfortunately one of them despite their abilities. Since their skills and abilities revolved around healing people, it was natural that they weren't stronger than the average native.That was assuming that the healers Tracy was talking about were people with the actual class. The natives liked to call anyone with the capacity to heal a healer, whether or not they had the actual class they were named after, which made things confusing. It was also the reason why the Healer cl

Theodore then said, "We better get moving before more hobgoblins show up."That was probably the longest Luke had ever heard Theodore speak without insulting anyone or acting the slightest bit like a jerk. However, that wasn't what caught his attention. Why wasn't Theodore attacking him or lashing out at him over Grace? It was completely out of character for a guy who had become attached and overly protective of her. Well, he had no right to talk even if their reasons weren't the same.It didn't change that Theodore wasn't doing anything to him. Also, he hadn't mentioned anything about Grace being kidnapped by the prophets. In fact, considering what he said, it sounded like the whole incident had been covered up completely. The prophets would probably want to hide this fact, as they didn't want the heroes attacking them, but what was Grace's excuse?She

Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers who have been following along so long. Luke's story has ended unless readers are interested in a sequel. Also, there are several things that I want to let you know. I have some news for all of you. In case some of you didn't know, I hd started a new book titled Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race which can be found here: https://www.meganovel.com/story/Rise-of-the-Demon-King-Caleb-Gonzales-s-Rat-Race_31000555550. It's set in the same world as my current book. It's kind of a prequel to Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge, but you can read it as a parallel or alternate universe if you like. As such, you might see some of the same characters who act differently from what you remember so I hope there's no confusion. For those interested to know more about the new book, here's the synopsis: When Caleb Gonzales woke up in the video game he last played, he expected things to go down like they did in those web

Chapter 389: The End
"The clean up is doing well," 'Kayla' said as she stood before Luke, who was sitting on the throne.Instead of responding to her, he gave a nod before looking to the next person. The corners of his mouth twitched as he wanted to frown. The previous demon king's women were staring at him, waiting patiently for him to finish his work. He didn't know what Mildred said to them, but they were all now convinced that they should try to seduce him.[They are strong women, so you shouldn't have any complaints about adding them to your harem.]Luke was unamused by the demon king's words. He knew very well that Luke hadn't been interested in building a harem. It was really bad enough that he had four women to contend with. Speaking of them, the quartet came walking into the throne room, with Grace taking the lead. She was looking well despite having only recovered yesterday."Luke, are you still in your meeting?" she asked as Tracy, Violet, and Ruth kept to her sides.Standing up, Luke said, "It'

Everyone stared in disbelief. How were they supposed to react to this sudden reveal? They had expected it to be a big deal because of the system's threat, but this was way behind anything they could have imagined. Luke distracted himself from the implications to assess everyone's reactions. Chris's mouth had dropped open while Bobby looked ill.Violet, on the other hand, was doing a good job keeping herself together, though it was just barely. Her fists were clenched, with her nails digging into her palm. Theodore was the only odd one out. He was quickly shocked by the information, but he appeared to be the calmest of the bunch. Luke couldn't decide if that was a good or bad thing as he returned his attention back to the system.Chris ended up being the first to break the silence. "You can't be serious."[The system assures the user that it is quite serious.][The users should confirm their desire as soon as possible. There are only five open spaces.]The party had barely recovered fr

Chapter 387: To Go Home or To Stay (1)
Luke couldn't believe it. The creator had actually been telling the truth when they said they could go home if they did enough to entertain them. He should be happy, but he was strangely numb about the reward. Perhaps it was because he had become used to the idea that he would never see his family again. That was why hearing the contrary left him with conflicted feelings."We can go home," Chris said in awe.A quick look at his party members was enough to tell Luke how overjoyed they were at the idea. After Luke had told them it was impossible, they had been resigned to never return back to their family and friends. It was why they had so willingly joined his side and turned their backs on the angels. However, a part of them had hoped that Luke was wrong."I wonder how everyone's been doing," Bobby said.Chris wrapped his arms around him and said, "I can't wait to see everyone."Violet had a soft smile, while Theodore only grunted. It should be a happy moment, but Luke was too used to

It couldn't understand what was happening. The creator could feel itself being torn away from its vessel against its will. This couldn't be happening. It was the creator. Everything went exactly as it wanted. There was no way it could lose to a human that had been originally brought into this world as nothing more than a tool. However, despite its efforts, it was being forced out by the sword in its chest.What was it? It couldn't be an ordinary weapon. Even when it was being injured, it had only been because the creator allowed it. Otherwise, the people wouldn't be able to actually harm it. Reaching out towards Luke and the sword again, it felt the sword pulse. Suddenly, the creator found its unable to move. An invisible force was keeping it from moving.The creator couldn't believe it. Such a thing had never happened before. The only possible reason that the creator could think of was that the sword contained a fragment of its power. However, that couldn't be it.

The creator's eyes rolled upward, and he spotted Takisha standing on its neck. Takisha didn't waste a second to bite her teeth in the creator's throat. She grimaced at the vile taste filling her mouth. Considering this was supposed to be the creator possessing a human, she would have thought the blood would taste delicious. Instead, it was probably the most disgusting blood she had ever tasted.Takisha wasn't even sure it was blood. Dirt tasted better than this. However, she focused on injecting her venom into the creator. A shadow loomed over her as the creator raised a hand to rush her. She didn't immediately run, and her faith was rewarded when vines and thorns wrapped around the creator's hand. Blood spilled from where the thorns pierced its skin.Of course, this wasn't enough to stop it for long. The creator ripped free, but its attention had been successfully redirected to Mildred, who unleased several arrows in its direction before running. It deflected them and rushed to crush

Chris demanded as he covered his face with a hand."That's for acting like an idiot," she snapped.Luke, Mildred, and Bobby stared at the bickering duo before Mildred turned to Luke and asked, "Are they...""No," Luke and Bobby immediately said.She glanced back at the duo and said, "Really?""They might act this way, but I assure you that Chris isn't her type," Bobby said as he waved a hand in front of himself. "She's already in a relationship with Luke.""I see," Mildred said. "It seems like I have competition."Bobby choked and Luke froze up as the duo finally stopped fighting and Tracy asked, "Wh

The creator was beginning to grow bored. Luke had disappeared off to who knew where, leaving them to deal with the rabble. None of them stood a chance against them. Of course, Luke being there wouldn't have changed much either, but this was supposed to be a game between them. If he wasn't there, then what was the point?They were debating whether they should cut the game short and simply end things when they heard a familiar voice shout, "Move!"Instantly, the creator raised a clawed hand to catch the arrow that had been shot in their direction. Their eyes spotted a familiar dark elf notching another arrow into her bow. So it looked like Luke had rescued the women that they had knocked out. They could have simply killed them and been done with it, but the creator had ultimately decided not to bother.Who would have expected that Luke would go rescue the

"What's this?" Luke muttered as he stared at the emergency quest.Luke never expected the system itself to give out a quest to defeat the creator. He would have thought it would be on their side since it was created by the system. Perhaps it saw the creator as a threat and wanted them to be dealt with. It sent shivers down his spine to see the quest, and he looked up to see that the others in the room were also reading a message from the system."Did you also receive the same quest as me?" he asked, though he already knew the answer."What's this nonsense?" demanded the succubus. "Defeat the creator? I've never heard such a thing.""There has to be a mistake," the dark elf said as she crossed her arms. "Why would we fight against our creator?"Laurel looked towards Luke and demanded,
