2024-10-29 19:42:56Luke could still scarcely believe that Grace would do something so foolish without letting him know as soon as possible. She should have let him know about this earlier, and he would have done his best to make the best of it before things got to this point, but it was too late now. He could only see one way forward, and that meant reevaluating his plans.
"I say we stay," said Luke.
"What?" said Bobby.
"I know it's not ideal, but we don't want to risk Grace receiving a punishment. We don't know when she will receive it or what kind of punishment it will be. It'll be bad if she is unconscious while we are trying to leave the town," he said, reminding them of their previous ordeal.
Everyone except for Jon grimaced at the reminder. None of them wanted to go through that experience again. It was the reason Grace had gotten

Chris made it sound like it was that easy when everyone knew the contrary. There were so many things to consider that it wasn't even funny. How exactly were they going to track her down? She had managed to avoid being noticed for this long. If Boyd hadn't survived long enough to tell them about her presence, none of them would have known she was there.All they would have known was that there was a troll roaming around. In fact, things might have turned out worse as Luke didn't think to tell them about her ability to use illusions. Then no one would have been able to actively look for the illusion hiding them and spot the troll in order to tell Santiago and Clayton's groups where to go.Also, if she was strong enough to control a troll, who could say they would be able to take her on even if they did find her? It was more likely that many people would die in the attempt, and they didn't
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 194: Hunting Down a Demon (1)
As expected, it wasn't easy trying to track the woman down. They had scanned the area where she was last heard from, but there wasn't a single trace of her. The heroes did find the corpse of the troll as well as the bodies of their fallen allies. They were able to safely bring the corpses back to the camp so they could be given a proper burial.Surprisingly, Clayton and Santiago weren't dead, but it might have been more merciful if they had died. Clayton's face had been so badly mauled that no one could recognize him if not for the armor he was wearing. The poor man couldn't see, breathing was difficult with a missing nose, and he couldn't talk with a missing tongue. It was an ugly sight.Santiago's fate wasn't any better. The bones in his legs had been broken as his legs had been twisted beyond recognition. With how messed up they were, they had to come to the painful decision to cut th
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 195: Hunting Down a Demon (2)
Luke was soon rewarded with the sound of clapping as a familiar voice said, "You really have sharp senses. I'm impressed. Should I reward you for your efforts?"He watched as the woman stepped out of hiding. She was exactly as Boyd had described her. With long black hair and black eyes, she really didn't look any different from a regular human. In fact, she might have been able to get away with pretending to be his sister if he really squinted. Of course, if he had a sister, he wouldn't let her get away with going out nearly naked.As he thought, the woman was a succubus, given how poorly she was dressed. What she wore barely covered anything, and if he were a young, hot blooded male, he might have been distracted by the sight. Obviously, the sight didn't bother him in the slightest. However, there was something about the demon that niggled at the back of his mind. She seemed familiar. H
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 196: Hunting Down a Demon (3)
That's when Luke noticed something strange. "Where's Cedric?"Luke heard Bobby's voice clearly through the stone as he said, "Cedric is catching up. He's lagging behind a little.""He couldn't catch up since he was the farthest away and was the last to start heading in your direction," Chris added.That was more in line with what he had expected of the others. They should all still be making their way to his location instead of already being there to support him. It wasn't that he was ungrateful. He was simply being realistic about the situation, which brought up another question. Why was Cedric lagging behind if this was an illusion? They should have all caught up at the same time."You damn humans. Get off of me," demanded the demon.Theodore just stepped on her head even harder as
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 197: Interrogating a Demon
The demon kept her mouth shut as Bobby whispered for everyone to hear, "Did you see that?""Yes," Chris whispered back at the same volume that everyone could hear.Luke didn't know why they bothered whispering, but this was something they would do, so he chose not to comment on the fact. Instead, he chose to focus his attention on Zona, who looked so offended by what was happening but was unable to do a single thing about it. He wasn't sure how he felt about being able to capture her so soon with such minimal effort. It made all their efforts in the other life a joke."So who's going to interrogate her?" asked Bobby as his eyes scanned the group.That was a good question with no easy answer. Luke immediately disregarded Bobby and Chris, since they were the ones most likely unable to carry out any torture. Technically, the group could let either one interrogate her. It's not like they had to use violence to try to make her talk. There were other ways to make someone talk, but Luke didn
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 198: Plans For the Captured Demons
The trio waited patiently as Theodore and Cedric continued to interrogate the demon. Even though they had distanced themselves, they could still sort of hear what was being said, especially when she started screaming. Bobby and Chris flinched every time it happened, and Luke chose to pretend he was also affected so they wouldn't think he was heartless.Eventually, it got quiet as Theodore and Cedric returned empty handed. There were blood stains all over the front of their clothes. Bobby and Chris grimaced at the sight, but at least they didn't have a violent reaction to the sight. It was probably because they were used to seeing blood and how they didn't actually see how the interrogation went."So what did she say?" asked Bobby."More importantly, where is she?" asked Chris."It took a bit of effort, but we got her to talk," said Cedric. "It seems that we have a bit of a problem."Luke didn't like the sound of that. "What is it? Is she not the leader?""There isn't one," said Theodo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 199: Making a Deal With a Demon
Luke's eyes continued to scan the vicinity until they landed on a certain spot. He walked towards it and stopped right in front of the empty spot. Even though he had no proof as he was unable to see through illusions or had a way to dispel them, he was confident that she was currently in front of him hiding with her illusion magic. It wasn't far from the pool of blood, and it was going in the opposite direction of the others."Where do you think you're going?" he asked. When there was no response, he added, "Stop trying to pretend. Even though you've hidden yourself with your illusions, I know you're there. If you don't reveal yourself, I'll force you to."When nothing happened, he raised his sword over his head and brought it down. There was no resistance as the sword dug into the ground, nor was there any blood to show he had hit a living thing. However, he was certain that he had struck true and that she was in pain. He was impressed that she hadn't dropped the illusion. Her pride
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 200: Returning Back With a Demon
"Luke, there you are. We thought we lost you," said Bobby as he jogged up to him."Sorry, I thought there was a chance that she might have tricked us with her illusions, and I was right," Luke said as he turned his attention back to the unconscious bleeding demon."I can't believe she almost fooled us," said Chris as he stopped at Bobby's side.Theodore and Cedric glared at the demon once they finally caught up. They looked like they wanted to kick her while she was down for causing them so much trouble. If she hadn't agreed to his deal, then he would have been more open to letting them do that. However, it would be bad if she got even more injured. It would make her later escape difficult. Fortunately, she wasn't awake to put her foot in her mouth."Since she's unconscious, who's carrying her back?" asked Luke.

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

Chapter 386: The End of the Creator (3)
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.

Chapter 385: The End of the Creator (2)
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,
