"You're looking into it too much. It's just the best equipment for fighting against angels," he said.
[Item Information]
[Sanguine]
[Godly]
[Attack +2,000]
[A blood red sword belonging to the late 12th demon king. It was forged by the demon blacksmith Tien Autry using the demon king's very own bones and bathed in the blood of angels.]
[Every time you draw blood, you regain a small portion of your health.]
[Against those with the 'Divinity' attribute, it has double the effectiveness.]
As expected of the main weapon of the 12th demon king, it was made for striking down angels. No wonder they had difficulty defending against it during the final battle. The rest of the demon king's equipment must have also been Godly. Their best equipment had been Legendary.
"You know, if I didn't know any better, I would have thought you were setting us up to fail," he said as he pushed the angel back.
She gnashed her teeth together as pressed back. "You!"
Pulling back, he swung out at her, only for it to be blocked again. They continued their exchange of blows with neither side giving up ground. This fact didn't bother him. The fact he could even fight the angel on even ground with just one weapon was amazing. On the other hand, Judith's blows became sloppier the more enraged she became.
"Why won't you just die?" she demanded as she aimed to slice his head off and watched in frustration as it was stopped.
"If you think I'll just roll over and die because you say so, then you don't know me at all," he said.
With another enraged shriek, she struck again. Her spear flew out of her hand and embedded itself into one of the pillars. Stunned, she looked at her empty hands.
Luke held her at swordpoint as he regained his breath. "Give up. There's no way you can win against me."
Despite saying this, he knew he was at his limit. If things hadn't been so advantageous for him, he would have been the one to lose. A recovered spiritual body. A godly sword. A rash angel. Just losing one might have resulted in a different outcome.
Her clenched fists shook as she glared at him. "Why couldn't you have just died? Do you even know what it means to be a demon king?"
"No, I don't, but I wouldn't have gone down this path if it weren't for you angels," he said.
Suddenly, losing her remaining senses, she lunged at him with a hand raised to slap him. He pulled his sword back to prevent killing her by accident and caught her hand. Stabbing the sword into the ground, he used his free hand to slap her.
The force of his slap was enough to send her sprawling onto the ground. She pressed a hand to her face and looked back at him as if she couldn't believe what he had just done.
"Try that again, and I'll make sure to hit harder," he said as he shook his hand.
It had really hurt. He didn't realize how tough an angel's skin was. It was like hitting a stone wall back when he had been a regular human. His mind boggled at how his party could even face against a demon king when facing a regular angel was this tough.
[There were several other factors in play that allowed you to defeat me. Under normal circumstances, it would never happen.]
During the time he was distracted by the demon king, Judith still remained on the floor instead of trying to attack him again. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She was an angel, and he was just a no good, dirty mortal recently turned demon king. She had never been so humiliated in her entire existence. If she was any less prideful, she would have burst into tears, crying about the unfairness of it all.
Their plan to permanently get rid of at least one demon king had failed once again. Her dreams of rising up in the ranks and reaching Salvador's status was now dust. She would undoubtedly be demoted for losing to a newborn demon king. She was going to be a laughstock, and it was the damn mortal's fault.
"Now what should I do with you," Luke said as focused his attention back onto the angel.
"What? Aren't you going to kill me? That's what you demon kings do. Kill angels," she spat.
[She isn't wrong. Why are you leaving her alive?]
"Death is too good for you. I vowed to make you angels pay tenfold for what you put me through," he said as he went to retrieve the sword.
Before his hand could touch the hilt, it vanished into particles just like how it appeared. He blinked at the sudden loss. A system message popped up in its place.
[Emergency Quest]
[Fight the Angel]
[You have successfully defeated the angel Judith.]
[Quest Reward]
[You can subjugate the angel Judith.]
Upon reading the quest reward, he smirked. "I like how this system thinks. If I make her my servant, wouldn't that be the best punishment."
"You depraved monster," she said as she scrambled back and covered the front of her body with her arms. "You better stay back or else."
While the sight of her running from him was pleasing, her other reactions made him cringe. He couldn't believe that would be her first thought as soon as he said he was making her into a servant. She had to have a dirty mind for jumping to that conclusion.
"Don't worry. I have no interest in you or your body. I wouldn't want it even if you offered up the whole world to me," he said as she made an affronted sound.
[I agree. I've seen better, and her personality is a big turn off.]
"You!" She jumped to her feet when a magic circle appeared underneath her feet. "This is..."
"You'll be my servant from now on. Let's work together to get back at the rest of your brethren, shall we?" he said with a smile.

After hearing her cuss him out for the last several minutes with words even the demon king didn't know, he was beginning to regret making her his servant. No, she wasn't his servant. The system had designated her as his slave, allowing him full control of all her stats.[Slave Information][Judith][Species: Angel][Hair: Blonde][Eye: Blue][Strength: 82][Intelligence: 78][Stamina: 80][Endurance: 99][Dexterity: 88][Mana: 100][As her owner, you can adjust any of her stats at any given time.]"This wasn't exactly what I had in mind when the system said subjugate," he said as he paused looking at her impressive stats.Her lowest stat was in the higher range of Legendary. In the party, the highest stat belonged to Grace with a Mana stat of 72. Everyone else had only managed to raise their stats into the epic range before they faced the demon king. The more he looked at it, the more outrageous it was for him to survive thus far.[You're a demon king now. What did you expect?]He gri
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 7: Going Back
"You what?" the angel shrieked.He sighed. She didn't have to scream. He was surprised too, but she didn't need to scream like a banshee. At this rate, his ears were going to go. It was really tempting for him to just kill her and put them both out of their misery."How is that possible? Wouldn't there be a contradiction?" he asked.[Yes, it causes a paradox. So how do you think the paradox is resolved?]Luke had to think about it before saying, "If there are two demon kings for the same position at any one time, I would assume that one of them would have to die."[That's correct. Which of the demon kings do you think will disappear?]"The fact that you were the demon king I fought means you survived," he said. "How?"[The demon's system prioritizes their survival of demons; therefore, it will pick the demon king it believes is the better option. While I was just a newborn, the previous demon king had already used his ability to turn back time and had lost to me already.]"So, it deci
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 8: Starting Back at the Beginning
"Hello, young heroes, thank you for answering our summons."Luke started as his mind tried to reorientate itself. Two sets of memories were warring in his mind, preventing him from being able to focus on what the angel in front of him was saying. By the time he had recovered slightly, the angel's speech was over, and several people were raising their hands or shouting at her."Hold on a minute. You can't just force us to be here. We have rights.""There's no way this can be real. Where are the cameras?""Fight? I've never fought in my entire life.""Yeah, why should we fight just because you say so? Send us back home."Suddenly, an unearthly golden glow shined from her form, silencing everyone. One part of his mind found himself at peace while the other part noted that she was using Angel's Aura, an ability all angels had which allowed them to sap a person's will to fight back. It only worked on those with lower stats than the user and didn't have the demonic attribute.The fact he kn
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 9: Finding Party Members
While he laid low, it wouldn't hurt for him to seek out allies. Not everyone had fallen into line with what the angel's wanted. Several had been wary of what the angels had to say. If what his scrambled memories of the future said was true, several people had been very outspoken about not trusting the angels before learning more about the world. Those people would later die under mysterious circumstances.No one had noticed any connections between them since it happened over the first year and in different locations in different ways. One died from a demon attack while another died in a training accident. It was chalked up to be because of how dangerous the world was, and the angels insisted that they be careful so that they wouldn't end up like them.Considering how wide the angels' influence was, it wouldn't be surprising if they got the natives involved to get rid of anyone that could convince the rest of the summoned people to not listen to the angels.He would have to approach th
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 10: Recruiting the First Party Member
Luke took the man's hand and said, "My name's Luke."Grace who had been about to take the man's hand had her hand still raised up and stared at him. She was probably confused by why he did that, but he was determined not to let his future party member get snatched up by another party before he had a chance to recruit her. He didn't know why she chose to follow him last time, but he didn't want to take the chance she would go to someone else. Things had already changed from last time because of him."I like your grip, young man," Anthony said.When he approached them, Anthony had only intervened because he couldn't stand men harassing women for no reason. She had obviously been nervous and shouting at her when everyone was just as agitated was absolutely unacceptable. He hadn't expected her to have such a protective boyfriend. He must have made his move too quickly for the boyfriend to act. It was nice to see some people hadn't lost their heads in this mess."Thank you," Luke said as t
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 11: Back in the Kingdom of Shadarwen
"Heroes, thank the heavens you are here."He was beginning to get tired of everyone constantly calling them heroes. He knew it was part of the act but hearing them say one thing when they actually meant another infuriated him since he knew what they were talking about. When they said hero, they were actually calling them sacrifices. Fools. Pawns.He released his grip on Grace as she recovered from the teleportation. Scanning those that had ended up with him, he saw that he had lucked out, and members of his party had been teleported with him. With the sudden urgency from the angels, he hadn't hoped they would join him. If they have been sent to a different country, he would have lost out on recruiting them since traveling between countries wouldn't be easy.He did note that the group was much bigger than he remembered unless he was mistaken. The angels must have increased the group size since they were concerned about the missing demon king that chose this place as his territory.Amon

"You expect me to do what?" she shrieked."Quiet down. Are you trying to tell everyone?" he said as he uncovered his ears."They won't hear us unfortunately. The moment I arrived, I made sure no one would hear or see what we're doing. They'll just think you went to sleep," she said as she crossed her arms.He stared silently at her for a second before saying. "Well, that's mighty convenient."If she could do that all the time, then this was the perfect chance for him to speak with the previous demon king. He wouldn't have to wait for the right time and place to speak with him."I know what you're thinking, but unless you want all the angels to descend onto you, you can't talk to him right now," she said as she flipped her hair.His eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?""Everyone is on high alert for the missing demon king. They assumed he used his ability to turn back time to avoid his death and has gone underground," she said.Their assumption wasn't wrong. They had been on the right tr

"What did you just do?" she asked in barely above a whisper.His brows furrowed as he said, "I refused to let you throw your life away because the system said so."She snapped. "You're a demon. Not just any demon, you're the demon king."He glared as he spat out, "I didn't exactly ask to become the demon king. Whose fault do you think it is that I'm like this?"Even though he knew he was a demon king and the ones in the know also regarded him as a demon king, he hadn't physically nor mentally changed. Everything about him was still human, but that could easily change in the future. He didn't know the exact details of what would happen to him, but he had already decided that if he had no way to return home, that he would become a demon king for revenge. It had been the only path left open to him. To listen to her prattle on about how she expected him to be evil just because he was now a demon set his nerves on edge."Do you want to be treated like a slave so badly? Is that it? Should I

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

"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

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,
