"Now have you all come to your senses? There is no other option," Sariel said, causing everyone to glare at him.
"How about no? There's no guarantee your plan will work since it already failed once," Tracy snapped.
"Your friend has already been hearing the creator, so even if we don't do anything, it's likely they will enact part of the plan without us doing anything," the angel said as he pointed at Grace.
While what he said wasn't wrong, Luke said, "It's not guaranteed that the creator would do that."
"You're wrong about that." Sariel crossed his arms. "When you think about it, what greater entertainment is watching as the 'heroes' fight against a former ally who is being possessed by the creator?"
Luke scowled. Did the angel understand what he was saying right in front of Grace? He
When Luke didn't say anything right away, Tracy demanded, "Well, spill it.""Grace was a Saintess before," Luke said calmly as he observed everyone's reaction.Even though he had revealed his return to the past, it seemed that one of them had forgotten about it, considering the look on Tracy's face. Grace and Violet seemed to have caught on to what he was talking about and had very different reactions. The former appeared shaken, while the latter had a grim expression. As for the angel, it had a bewildered expression."What do you mean? I can tell right now that she's a healer. If she really did become a Saintess, then there's no way she can be a healer now," Sariel said as he pointed at Grace.[Are you really going to reveal the secret behind the demon kings?]"That's because I trave
"What is this? I leave you guys alone, and this happens. Can someone explain what's going on here?" 'Kayla' demanded the moment she stepped into the area.Everyone stared at her with various emotions, as none of them expected her to appear out of the blue. One moment they were deciding whether or not to accept the alliance, and the next she was there, getting in the way. Luke was the first to recover and quickly stepped up in case Sariel planned to do something to her. The last time he and Grace had seen her was when she had to leave with Castiel."How are you here?" Luke asked. "Weren't you being dragged away by the other angel?""I know," she said before jabbing a finger in his direction. "Like, I know you were responsible for that. I don't know how you did it, but that slime couldn't have appeared out of nowhere.""
After a fierce discussion over who it would be, Grace somehow managed to be the one chosen to have her blood poured into the pen. Luke would have been more suspicious if it had been only Sariel pushing for her blood to be used. However, 'Kayla' and Violet had been the ones to push for it. He never expected those two to side with Grace and Sariel over whose blood should be used.Well, they had originally offered themselves first, but they had changed their minds, making it a majority vote. Now he watched as Grace cut herself and dripped the blood into the pen. The marks on the pen glowed brighter than before, which had to be a sign that things were working as planned. Once she had added enough blood, she healed the cut and handed the pen over to Luke."So how do I use this to return things back?" Luke asked as he turned his gaze to the angels."You do kn
Honestly, Luke was still struggling to cope with everything that had happened. With everything seemingly back to normal, it had seemed like only something a deranged person could come up with or a fever dream. However, it was for that reason that he knew it had to be real. He certainly didn't have the creative fortitude to imagine them, even if he was out of his mind."We certainly showed them," Elijah said as he clapped Luke on the back. "We're truly lucky that you took down their leader and that they retreated."That was exactly the scenario he wrote down, but Luke simply asked, "How are the others?"Elijah gave him a strange look before pointing a thumb toward the direction of the fortress and saying, "The rest of your party is helping the natives."Luke frowned as he clearly recalled being in the fortress when the
"It appears that everyone has their memories," Luke said as he took a seat.Grace followed his lead as Tracy scoffed. "What's that supposed to mean? Why would we not have our memories?""Considering how everyone else is completely unaware of what's going on, I thought it was a legitimate concern," he said.Tracy scowled while Violet said, "Do you know where that angel went?"It wasn't hard to guess who she was talking about. They only really interacted with two angels, and 'Kayla' didn't count. The other angels they did encounter were either unaware of their existence or fought them. Her question was a legitimate one, as Sariel had yet to make an appearance. He had written that Sariel would be their ally in the shadows.Luke had considered writing him off as a slave or servant, but he ultimately decided it wasn't worth doing. The pen had also resisted when Luke tried to write Sariel as an important figure among the angels to increase his standing with the other angels. Apparently, tha
[Quest][Dealing With Demons][You have successfully dealt with the demons you encounter on your journey.][Quest Rewards][You will be given 50 gold.][You may select three of the following Rare items, five of the following Uncommon items, seven of the following Common items, and obtain five skills.]Luke looked away from the message to see how everyone else was doing. Well, to be more precise, he was paying close attention to the women in his party. They had all been anxious the entire time they had been heading to the capital, despite his reassurances and the plans he had laid out for them. Of course, he understood why they were cautious.They didn't know the true extent of the changes he had implemented until they met the princess. It was a great disadvantage that they had no knowledge of current events. He didn't know why the pen didn't think to give them the necessary information regarding the changes, but he decided it was best not to dwell on it too much as there was nothing h
Even though Luke knew it was for the sake of his revenge, he couldn't help but feel disgust at the amount of time he was forced to spend with her. The sheer amount of time he spent with her was outrageous. He barely saw any of his companions, as the princess would bat her eyes and tearfully ask if he didn't love her anymore. Luke gagged at her attempt but forced himself to soothe her.This setback made it difficult to meet up with the others and plan when to strike. The only reason he was able to have any idea of what was going on with them were the rare times he bumped into them. Unfortunately, those conversations were quite brief, as the princess refused to let him stay away from her for more than a few feet. He was just grateful that this clinginess hadn't extended to when they slept.Luke would have just given up on being patient and stabbed her right then and there if she tried to crawl into bed. If he was going to have any woman in his bed, he would rather it be one of the other
Almost as if the system had heard him, all the 'heroes' received quests about helping the natives, which would keep them away from the castle. Luke wondered if the system had done it on purpose, but he ultimately decided it wasn't important in the end. What mattered was that all the 'heroes' would be kept busy for the next few days, including himself.Princess Sweeney had been quite tearful in her goodbye, but he managed to detach from her and leave her to plan the celebration. It was too bad the celebration wasn't going to work out like she imagined. However, Luke still couldn't figure out what had prompted her to decide that a celebration was needed. Well, whatever the case, he was going to hit two birds with one stone."Done snuggling up with the princess," Tracy said dryly as she stared at Luke, who was approaching the group.Before he could even re
