Chapter 261: Corruption

"Calm down, corruption can be easily lifted when treated early"

After she watched everyone wearing a gloomy scary face, the demoness tried to be lighter. Sitting on the sofa and seeing their mixed expressions continue.

That was expected after she just threw a bomb and announced that Tony was corrupted by a powerful demon that was now starting to expand to corrupt other students too, including Alex's dare lovely girls. But for now, just Alice.

'Damn angels! Where are they when a freaking demon is openly messing with dozens of humans on earth. It's forbidden by the divine law! Useless bastards'

Even the queen was stressed hearing this bad news. Dealing with a demon with tons of earth humans as his puppets was a nightmare.

Nonetheless, it was forbidden to harm humans by the divine law set by angals. Earth is supposed to be humans safest place and other demonic creatures aren't allowed to mess that peace.

"Do you know how to remove this corruption?"

After giving much thought, Alex asked the demoness with a much calmer expression. He was looking for a solution without waging a war with a demon with human hostages.

"Yes, but it does need a bit of effort and a ton of energy. With my current power, I don't think I can save more than five lowly humans in a day"

Casting a curse was much easier than to break it. It undoubtedly required more precision in order to guarantee the safety of the cursed.

Fortunately, Alex wasn't alone in this. Liza and Rose could offer a helping hand! They

"Okay... But how many people she managed to curse till now?

Alex asked again his "demon spy". He leaned back and deeply sighed. He definitely felt relieved to know he could save Alice with ease. However, his relief was soon to be obliterated and replaced with a shocked dumbfounded expression.

"Approximately 200 people are affected by this demonic curse magic and most of them have just a couple of days left before they turn into... What you call here... zombies~"

With a soft smirk, the demoness uttered, as demon race blood was flowing in her veins, she enjoyed the suffering of humans. Demons view human nothing but disgusting flesh and bones. Nonetheless, Luna's daydreaming soon ended and she retuned her serious expression.

"..."

Alex visibly saw her smug but he hadn't yet recoverd of the shock he received. The high number of the victims was unexpected. Everyone had their own share of surprise and shock.

"Darling, let's just cure your girls for now. You need to save up energy in case of a direct encounter with the demon.. I think he is building an army and we just need to destroy its head to make collapse"

Rose from the side stood up and gazed down with a serious expression on her face. Yet, her eyes had so much worry in them. She was afraid of failing to protect her master's loved ones again...

"The blondie is right... Yet not. We don't have the capacity to simply slice his head off... He's residing in a human after all and I have no plans to start trouble with angles"

As a hell entity, killing a human on earth would bring the culprit a disaster and their target was corrupted by a demon and had a meat shield of innocent humans.

"It's not my job to think of the solution, but I'm just here to execute order without risking my life"

The demoness continued and she was starting to become annoying as Alex was desperately trying to think of a solution.

"..."

He glanced up at her and thought for a second to just send her to kill Tony, but that would breach his part contract, which promised he would cause her no harm under any circumstances.

"....For the moment, you go keep an eye on his and his movement and report back"

Alex let out a sigh before giving new instructions to the demoness. As for him and the others, they would try to save as much as they can of the affected students.

"I was already going to do"

Just as she spoke, the demoness stood and smoke began raising below her feet. It didn't take long before it hid her entire figure and make her disappear as if she wasn't just there a moment ago.

"Owhh! This is bad. We gotta do something about this demon. I wouldn't care since its angles job, but he's threatening the safety of your girlfriends"

Liza learned into the couch without forgetting to let out a stressed sigh. If it wasn't for the safety of the girls, Liza had no reason to step in, she just needed to stay hidden as Tony was essentially looking for her.

"There's a demon in the campus, shouldn't we hurry up to investigate...?"

"Yeah"

Jane finally said a word and she just expressed her worry. Standing up as well and urging everyone take actions. Alex stood too and was ready to take a stroll in his campus after a long time of skipping classes.

The four of them without an exception decided to have the day spent at college. Even the lazy Rose who loved staying home, especially if her Master has given her enough "love" for the whole day.

All of them were about to go out, even without breakfast, but Liza screamed out of the blue, drawing all the attention towards her.

"Oh great! I just sensed Alice nearby, she must be on her way too"

Using her sharp senses, the queen was able to detect the shy innocent girl around and that sparkled Alex with some satisfaction. He could start the morning by lifing up the curse on his lovely Alice!

"Let's go"

With that idea, he hurriedly unlocked the door and stepped out. Going out into the streets, checking up both directions, Alex's eyes landed on a familiar figure walking away in the distance.

A nice red skirt with a snow-white shirt and notably cute ponytail dancing as they walked. It was definitely Alice!

"It's her!"

"That's right, I can't be mistaken"

Liza and Rose followed while briefly chatting, as for Jane, she silently walked behind with a blush on her face. She was trying to come up of an excuse of why she, as a teacher, was doing in the early morning with her student.

Unfortunately she didn't have that much time, as Alex was already behind the nice looking girl. He relaxed his expression so as not to scare her and he just stopped her with a hand on her shoulder and a warm greeting.

"Good morning, cutie"

"Huh?"

She showed no signs of startle, Alice turned around to find a handsome young man smilingly gazing at her. His hand was gently squeezing her shoulder.

"..."

His smile was wide as he realized Alice was just healthy and fine. However, his happiness soon faded as the innocent looking girl spoke up after an awkward silence.

Alex immediately froze his place.

"Can you take your disgusting hand off me?"

For a brief second, her blue ocean-like eyes glowed red and the aura around her became gloomier. That was undoubtedly not the normal Alice he knows... And loves...
