Chapter 8: The Plan Begins
Returning to his room, Lucas found that the little fox was still maintaining the illusion magic.
After dispelling the magic, he picked up the sleeping creature and once again cast a space spell.
Arriving at the highest rooftop of the royal palace, Lucas began to implement his plan.
The first step was a frenzied 'Summoning of All Things'.
A large number of low-level demons, undead soldiers, zombies, and more, all crawled out from the magic circle in droves.
Lucas also added a continuous summoning effect to the magic circle, a supportive summoning magic he learned from the spellbook.
When the rooftop could no longer contain so many demons.
Lucas used the 'Savior's' auxiliary ability to start applying group buffs to them.
'HP Limit Increase', 'Attack Enhancement', 'Defense Enhancement', 'Swiftness', 'Magic Defense', 'Slow HP Recovery', 'Constitution Amplification', 'Strength Bonus'…
After a bunch of supportive spells were bestowed upon them, Lucas continued to cast spells.
Space Magic·Short-Range Large Teleportation Circle!
A white nonagram flashed by, and all these minions were teleported outside the palace below.
At this time, Lucas concealed his presence very well.
He applied illusion magic on the rooftop, which ordinary people could not detect at all.
When a large number of minions appeared around the royal palace, wreaking havoc everywhere.
They were quickly discovered by patrolling soldiers.
The patrol team found the existence of these minions and immediately ordered their subordinates to eliminate them all.
But when the soldiers realized that these minions looked weak but were exceptionally fierce in battle, and their numbers were growing.
"Quick! Go report to the king!"
Soon, a guard rushed off to the king's chamber door.
"Report! Your Majesty! A large number of demons and undead creatures have suddenly appeared outside the palace, and they are very powerful! Our soldiers are almost unable to hold them back."
The king, who was ill in bed, sat up in shock!
Dressed in pajamas, with disheveled hair and a panicked expression, his face was filled with fear.
"How many are there? How many?"
"This… countless…"
"Idiot! How could these demons appear here, this is the inner city."
"This… I don't know…"
"Are you useless? You know nothing."
"Quickly gather the guards, and also, let Sir Razenlead the knights to exterminate the demons!"
The king roared, and then, the soldier hurriedly ran to notify others.
…
Above the rooftop, Lucas silently watched the chaotic scene below.
Various cries of killing echoed to the skies, and curses were heard everywhere.
These minions were weak, but their numbers were overwhelming.
Within their rampaging range, many palaces were destroyed, countless guards, protectors, nobles, and ministers all fell in pools of blood, wailing everywhere, with heavy casualties.
Seeing this scene before him, Lucas's heart did not waver.
There wasn't a single good person among the nobility of this country.
Lucas ordered the demons, except for some servants, to kill anyone they saw.
However, at this time, most of the maids had gone to their dormitories to rest.
Unless they were really unlucky, Lucas could only say sorry.
Seeing that the number of demons below had reached a certain level, continuing to summon had lost its meaning.
Thus, Lucas activated his space magic and returned to his room.
Just as he returned, he foundShino rushing in through the door.
"Lord Lucas, it's terrible."
"A large number of demons have appeared outside, you must flee!"Shino cried anxiously.
Somewhat surprised, Lucas couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to run?"
Shino smiled bitterly, "I'm just a lowly slave, branded with the mark of slavery, leaving here won't lead to anything good."
"What I mean is, why come to inform me instead of hiding?"
Lucas's words stunned Shino, then her pretty face blushed slightly, "I…"
Seeing her hesitant to speak, Lucas understood.
"Bang!"
With a chop of his hand, he knocked Shino out and then threw her onto the bed.
"Ah! My damned, irresistible charm!"
With a flamboyant sigh, Lucas walked out of the room and locked the door.
He didn't want to take a woman who couldn't even truss a chicken on an adventure.
To put it bluntly, that would be a burden.
If Lucas had the power to rule the world at this moment, he wouldn't mind helpingShino.
But now.
He was still weak, a 'newbie' who hadn't even left the novice village.
This kind of hero-saving-the-beauty drama was not suitable for now.
So let her sleep for now, it's not too late to help her if there's a chance.
…
Razen's face was gloomy as he came out of his room.
Then he ordered the guards to gather his otherworldly subordinates.
At this time.
"Lord Razen, are you alright?"
The person who came was Lucas. At this moment, he was the undisputed best actor at the Oscars.
Lucas, with a face full of urgency, came to Razen's side.
"Lord Razen, a large number of demons have appeared outside, now is the time for you to take action."
Razen frowned and asked, "How did these demons get into our palace?"
"I'm not very clear on the specifics, could it be that there are traitors within the royal palace, and this is actually a plot by the enemy country?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it, to silently bring demons in, there must be someone to respond, it's not that easy for outsiders to enter here."
Lucas spoke earnestly, and Razen also felt it made sense.
"Then, who do you think is most suspicious?"
"Sir, you jest, how would I know who it is."
"But…"
Lucas feigned hesitation for a moment, then whispered in Razen's ear.
"Today, I found that Shogo Taguchi,Kirara Mizutani,Kyoya Tachibana ,.were acting sneakily."
These three were the ones who had been summoned three years ago and had been boasting at Lucas during the day.
Lucas directly blamed these three.
"Do you think… could it be that they are dissatisfied with the curse on them, so they secretly colluded with the empire, wanting to kill the controller of the curse…"
Lucas only said half of it, then quietly observed Razen's facial expression.
His face was dark, and his eyes seemed to contain leaping flames.
"Damn, they dare to oppose me…"
Mid-sentence, Razenquickly stopped himself.
"Cough cough!"
"Your speculation is not without reason, do you know where they are now?"
"How about this, you go and kill the demons first, and I will bring these three to you for a face-to-face interrogation."
Razen thought for a moment and felt this plan was excellent.
The battle situation was urgent, and Razen didn't do what he wanted, preparing to go and deal with those ant-like demons first.
Watching him leave, Lucas's mouth curled up slightly.
"It was just a guess, but it seems that Razenis indeed the controller of the curse, things have become simpler."
Immediately after, Lucas walked towards the direction of the three scapegoats.
