2023-08-04 00:50:42After that encounter, there were no other surprises, though Luke didn't let his guard down and kept his eyes out for anything out of the ordinary. There was simply too much on the line for him to let anything else slip past him. The closer the day of the celebration approached, the more on edge he and the others were. Of course, their nervousness could be attributed to how excited they were about the event.
It would be outrageous for anyone not in the know to assume they were concerned about the attack on the capital and that they were essentially traitors. The only way Luke could see it happening was if the person already had reasons to believe they were capable of doing that. They were in the clear, but that didn't mean they could be careless.
Sariel had come through and located Zona. Luke had sent Tracy, with Laurel joining her. Laurel had said she didn't mind going as Tracy's backup,

Just like Sariel said, the army arrived the next day. Of course, he didn't see the demons himself, but Tracy and Laurel appeared right in front of the party to inform them of their return. While Luke wouldn't admit it, he appreciated the heads up. He didn't need more surprises to pop up. It gave him time to at least come up with some questions and a barebones plan that they could start with.As soon as the party saw the duo, Luke said, "It's been a while. Did you encounter any trouble?""Shouldn't you at least ask if they're okay?" Chris asked as he stopped waving at the women to stare at Luke.Violet ended up speaking on his behalf. "There's no reason to if they're here without any injuries.""I'm going to check just in case," Grace said as she rushed over them to heal them.It was a
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 343: Day of Celebration
It was finally time. Luke stood by the princess's side as crowds gathered in the capital. Despite how the celebration was pushed ahead of schedule, a lot of people still arrived on time. He considered that the princess might have lied, but he quickly discarded the idea, as she wouldn't have a reason to lie to him. It was likely that many of them had left early so they could arrive before the celebration.This had the unintended consequence of making things hectic as everyone had to deal with the sudden influx of people. Staring at the people, all Luke could think was how many of them would die and how many survivors there would be at the end of the attack. He already knew what would happen to the survivors, but the numbers might be bigger than originally predicted."Luke, what's wrong? You seem distracted," Princess Sweeney said."There are a lot of people," Luke said with a smile."It's to be expected. Everyone wants to come and see the celebration," she said. "What do you want to do
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 344: Dealing With Princess Lera Sweeney (1)
As soon as they were in the throne room, Luke didn't hesitate to drop her like a stone. The princess yelled as she hit the ground, but he didn't apologize or comfort her. Princess Sweeney had been suspicious when he rushed to the throne room instead of taking her somewhere safer. While it was true that the castle was safer than outside, there were other better locations in the castle.Scrambling to her feet, the princess glared at the 'hero'. She had thought she had the man wrapped around her finger by pretending to be his lover, but the way he was looking at her now was nothing she had seen from him before. His eyes held no warmth or affection. They were cold and looked down on her like she was an insect to be trampled on."What do you think you're doing?" she demanded as she clenched her fists."Come now, princess. You should know exactly what's going on," he simply said as he drew his sword.Her stomach lurched at the sight of the weapon. It was obvious what he intended, but her mi
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 345: Dealing With Princess Lera Sweeney (2)
Luke's words only served to infuriate the knight, who couldn't believe his audacity. Who was he to speak that way? Just because he was a 'hero' didn't mean he could disrespect the princess. Sir Gilbert should have never allowed this scum so close to the princess, but she had insisted that everything was okay and not to interfere. He had listened to her.Ignoring the fallen man, Luke focused his attention back on the princess, who seemed to be in a state of shock. "You hit me.""Of course I did. Did you really think that I could simply forgive you and the angels for kidnapping me from my world?" Luke said as he approached her.Even though she scowled at him, he could see the fear in her eyes as she crawled back to get away from him. It seemed like she was finally understanding her situation. He had wondered if his punch had made her stupid by knocking her brain loose. It was no fun getting revenge on someone who didn't have the sense to realize what was happening."We told you that you

"Nothing? That's too bad," Luke said. "I might have let you live if you willingly became my slave."Luke's real intention was never to drop her, no matter how tempting it was to watch her become paste on the ground. However, that would only be a momentary joy. He wanted to push her to the very brink, where she wouldn't even think of denying his offer. Staring into her tear stained face, he hadn't expected her to be this stubborn.He knew she was a prideful person, but he thought she would have a strong survival instinct that would make her accept becoming a slave. After all, as long as she was alive, she might foolishly believe she had a chance at getting back at him. Since he was short on time, he couldn't possibly try other methods to make her submit to being his slave of her own volition, which was fine in the end.Just as he was about to let go, she screamed, "Don't. I'll do it. I'll be your slave."As soon as she said the magic words, Luke smirked and dropped her. She screamed as

Amused by her words, Luke said, "Do you really think that they'll be able to take on all these demons? You really must have a lot of faith in them, or you're just grasping at straws."Princess Sweeney scowled but remained silent. She knew that the chances of the 'heroes' winning were slim. After all, no one had foreseen the demons attacking the capital out of the blue. It had never happened without warning before. They had somehow remained undetected by the angels, which was something she didn't think was possible.However, there was no one else she could rely on. Only the 'heroes' would be strong enough to take care of all the things, not that it stopped the knights from helping. It was impossible for them not to. Speaking of knights, she couldn't believe Sir Gilbert was dead. The man had been around for what seemed like forever, and now he was dead. It was unreal.Luke could tell that her mind was still reeling from everything that was happening and allowed her this brief moment to

That was the last thing Elijah heard before his world went dark. Luke stared listlessly as the old man collapsed to the ground in a heap. He had used the flat of his blade to knock him out, but he might have still killed Elijah despite trying to restrain his strength. Well, Luke should have killed him, as the old man would be an obstacle. However, he felt compelled to at least show him mercy just once.It was the bare minimum Luke would allow, given everything. Elijah had never done anything against him. In fact, he had only been helpful, and Grace did care for him. As long as the old man stayed out of his way, Luke wouldn't kill him. If Elijah chose to spit on his mercy and come after him, then he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate the man."Let's move," he said as he walked around Elijah's unconscious body.The princess glanced at Elijah before asking, "Aren't you going to kill him?""I have no reason to," Luke simply said as they continued down the path, passing running people and demo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 349: Fighting 'Heroes' (1)
Theodore scowled as he deflected the arrows aiming for Grace, who flinched at the sound of metal on metal. Neither of them expected to be cornered and attacked out of the blue by Alyssa and Steve. They hadn't even seen or heard them coming until they were nearly hit with arrows and fireballs. If Theodore hadn't been with Grace, she would have certainly died."What do you think you're doing?" he barked."You know perfectly well what we're doing," Alyssa said as she notched more arrows on her bow.Grace stared apprehensively at the black bow. Alyssa had shown it off to them, saying it was a Rare item she obtained while fighting the demons. It supposedly strengthened her arrows and could create copies of them after they left the arrow. One regular arrow would suddenly become a dozen arrows that could cut through stone. She was basically a walking armory."No, we don't," Grace said as she clutched her staff. "Aren't we friends?"Steve huffed. "You expect us to be friends with traitors lik

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

"You idiot," Tracy said as she punched Chris in the face."Ow! What was that for?" 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,
