Chapter 43: The Devil Servant's Capabilities

The dawn's first light filtered through the high windows of my study, casting long shadows across the stone floor. I stood before the eleven cages that were filled with snarling goblins, my mind already racing with possibilities. Each creature represented an opportunity—a chance to explore the limits of dark magic and enhance my power. The devil hobgoblin servant, now standing silently at my side, was the first successful result of my experiments. Today, I will delve deeper into its potential.

I began with a series of tests to ensure the creature's absolute obedience. It knelt before me, its eyes glowing with a malevolent red light. "Stand," I commanded, and it rose immediately, its movements precise and controlled. "Fetch that book," I ordered, pointing to a dusty tome on a high shelf. The creature moved swiftly, retrieving the book with care and returning to my side.
