Luke listened to the demon report that his party was still nearby, but they hadn't decided what they were going to do. They didn't have any supplies since they had been forced to run out of the town with their tails between their legs. Even though Luke had intended for that to happen, he still felt guilt that they had no supplies to help them on their way.They could still forage, but that didn't change the fact that they would have to go through a significant change in diet while they decided their next course of action. Well, once he settled matters with the town, he would pay them back for this mess by supplying them with food. Of course, he already had an excuse planned to explain away how he got his hands on the supplies."Is everyone ready?" Luke asked once the demon finished talking.The demons scoffed before saying, "Of course. It's not like we've been waiting for this moment."He would have pointed out that they had been taking turns terrorizing the town in different ways for
Luke thought about what the demon king meant. He must be referring to using more of the demon's system's features. So far, he had used it sparingly to avoid drawing too much attention from the angels. Despite everything they had done to keep the angels from noticing them, he still felt cautious about using it so much in public.The only features he had really used were looking at the quest notifications, going through the slave information, and checking the list of people he had. He hadn't touched any of the other features since the first time he had seen what it had to offer, way back in the beginning, when they had been first summoned there. However, he couldn't see how using the system more would change anything.[That's where you're wrong.]Crossing his arms, Luke said, "Tell me more."[You have already seen the sections regarding slaves, servants, harem members, and an army. A demon king can't truly be called a demon king if he doesn't have demons to rule over. Right now, you hav
"Why are the demons attacking now?" a guard cursed as he tried to fight off a demon.If only those darn heroes had done their job right, then none of them would be in this mess. No, they didn't even deserve to be called heroes. He bet they were the reason why the demons were attacking in the first place. Some people had caught one of the so called heroes working with demons and killing people. Then other witnesses saw the same person escape prison with the help of demons.This was obviously their way of retaliating against the town for rightfully imprisoning them. The thought of those fake heroes made him grit his teeth. Whoever thought to let them in should be punished, but that was only if he had survived. As he finally killed the demon attacking him after much difficulty, he spotted the target of his ire leisurely walking through the town, like people weren't dying because of him."I'll kill you," the guard declared as he launched himself at the fake hero.He didn't even last a sec
Knowing that the demon king was right, 'Theodore' left the people to destroy themselves and for the demons to finish off what was left, though he doubted the demons would wait that long. Already he could hear them pouncing on the defenseless people. Their screams of agony filled the air as he continued on with the next part of his plan.He still had some time before he could get rid of the demons, and he could take this opportunity to raid the mayor's house. The man would undoubtedly have some valuable items in his possession as well as gold, and it would be a waste to leave it in the hands of a dead man. There were other places he could target too, but it would depend on how long it took him.Moving at a pace that was neither slow nor fast, he found himself standing in front of the mayor's house in no time. His eyes glanced around, and he saw there were quite a few dead bodies. The people must have thought to run to the mayor's home for protection or help, but they either had been ke
The first place he should check would obviously be the mayor's office. Even if the items weren't there, he would find clues or possible useful information there. 'Theodore' didn't think for a second that the mayor would have clean hands and might have some connections with the black market. He only took a few steps forward before his disguise came off."So it's been ten minutes," Luke commented to himself.Luke had forgotten about the time limit and thought to himself that his speed must have greatly increased considering how much distance he traveled and how much he accomplished in that time. Fortunately, he didn't need to keep pretending to be 'Theodore' though it had only been his face that had changed. If anyone had been really paying attention, they would have noticed he was physically smaller.If they had, then they would have realized he was a fake and called him out on it. Of course, it wouldn't be something ordinary citizens would look for, as none of them would have thought
Luke pried open the floorboard to find a stash of gold and papers. He frowned at the sight. It wasn't that he didn't like the sight of gold or evidence of the mayor's corruption, but it was strange that the mayor would leave all of it behind. The mayor had clearly combed through his office for things to take with him, unless someone else had gotten here first.It couldn't be the demons, as they wouldn't care about such things. The message he received from the demon king the moment he thought of them all but confirmed it. They would probably thrive on someone stumbling upon the mayor's secrets, as it would create chaos if people found out the mayor was dealing in the black market. After all, people saw the black market as something connected to demons.Another possibility was that it could have been the mayor's enemies that had ransacked the place to either get rid of or find evidence. While this possibility was high, he hadn't noticed any strong people in the town. Of course, it was p
Out of all the people he could have encountered, he had to bump into Violet. When he first saw her, he had frozen up in shock. Of course he had recovered quickly, but it was undeniable that he had been stopped cold at the sight of her. There was no mistaking her light brown hair and dark blue eyes, as well as her young appearance. However, what he couldn't understand was what she was doing here, of all places.It made no sense for her to be breaking into the mayor's home to steal from him. If it had been to steal something from a demon, he would understand, but even then it would still be a bit iffy. Stealing wasn't exactly something angels would approve of. Perhaps she might have recieved a quest about protecting the mayor and was simply fighting him to complete her quest.The problem was that there were too many things wrong with the situation for that to be possible. For one, she was alone. She was the one whose party had only four 'heroes' in it. There were also the knights they h
Luke grimaced at the thought of touching her. While he was certain she would wake up in the middle of the act, it was still a distasteful act. He had no interest in stripping her down, nor was he interested in her in that way, but he had no one to rely on for this task. He was all on his own. With a sigh, he started taking off her clothes as he scanned for any items that might be brainwashing her.Violet groaned as she regained awareness for the first time in what seemed like months. It wasn't that she had been asleep or unconscious for a long time, but it had felt like she had been watching her life play out from the sidelines. She had watched as her body moved against her will and did things she would have never done of her own free will.All of it started when her party and the knights had been told to see the princess before they left for Sahgar. Nothing about it had seemed out of the ordinary. It made sense that the princess would want to speak with them before they traveled outs
