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
"Excuse me?" Violet demanded."I'm not talking to you," Luke said absentmindedly. "There's no way I will do something like that. It's far too soon after the last one. I'm completely against it."[Making her a part of the harem couldn't possibly hurt. You have already said it yourself that you're open to having more girls added to your harem.]"I only said I would be open to having more women added to my harem because Tracy was basically forced on me. Also, I had already said I would limit the number of women who could join. I'm not going to just add her to the harem just because it's convenient," Luke said as he waved in Violet's direction."Excuse me?" Violet shrieked.Luke had almost forgotten about her. This was going to be a problem. He had gotten used to speaking to the demon king out loud, even though they could communicate nonverbally. She must be completely confused about what he was talking about. What should he do? While he could come up with a lie, it was probably best to t
Violet eyed Luke warily. It wasn't as simple as he was making it seem. There was no way the demons would leave of their own accord that easily. From her own experience, she knew very well how demons could be unrelenting in a fight. He had to have done something to make them retreat, and it had to be something significant considering how quickly it happened.She was sure that no more than a few minutes had passed since he had gone ahead and for her to arrive at the scene. In that time, he had somehow gotten rid of the demons without so much a scratch on himself and without leaving any bodies behind. If that was the case, she wondered if he had somehow bargained with them to leave them alone.As soon as she thought of this, she immediately threw it out the window. There was no way that could happen. She was more likely to believe he was powerful enough to leave no remains of the demons behind than that happening. In this world, only the strong could survive. The weak had to either obey
Tracy was beginning to wonder what she was doing here. Of course, she actually did know what to do, but it was honestly a chore going along with Luke's plans and playing nice with the demons while he went off to do his own thing. She had already walked past several people screaming and begging for help on her journey through the decimated town.While she was no stranger to killing, it was still an uncomfortable feeling. That's why she left most of the fighting and killing to the demons while she hung back. However, she did have to defend herself several times as people attacked her, thinking she was a werewolf and the one ordering her around. Apparently, fighting with daggers somehow cemented the idea.She wondered if most people were this dumb and how the demons hadn't managed to utterly wipe out the human race by now. The angels had to somehow be tilting the system in their favor if the majority of people she encountered were this bad. It would explain why they summoned heroes all t
