章 52: Chapter 53: Mysterious woman

After dealing with the guards, Ryder shifted his focus back to the vile woman that was still standing near him.

He stepped forth and like a true Demon Monarch, separated her head from her body with a single strike of his scythe.

[+800 Exp]

'Hmm? Do the female demons give less Experience or was she just a weak demon?' He wondered.

He looked towards the Lord Demon and pointed towards the girl that was still tied by the ropes.

"My Lord, just look at the girl. She looks like she's really regretting opposing our lord. The punishment seems to be working. Shall we continue?" Ryder asked.

"Who are you?" The Lord Demon asked straight.

"Who am I? I'm a nobody!" Ryder replied since he didn't want to explain that he was a human.

"It's not possible for you to be a nobody. You're a high demon magician. Tell me what you're doing here?" The Town Lord asked.

"High Demon Magician?" 

It was the first time he was hearing such a term, but it sounded pretty badass.

'They must be the powerful demons,' He thought.

"Yeah. Did someone from the higher up send you to me?" The Lord Demon asked.

"Oh? Do you think someone can send me here? I just came out on my own, to roam the land and watch the condition of our people. I must say I was quite surprised to see the situation of this town," 

Ryder said with a proud look on his face. Although he could kill the Lord Demon, It was better to get some information from him if he could.

The Lord Demon came down through the stairs.

"I apologize for showing you something like this," The Lord Demon apologized.

"It's alright. I don't mind it since I got to relieve some stress," Ryder casually said.

"How about you stay with me for the day? Give me the chance to take care of a high demon. Also, you wanted the girl, didn't you? You can also have her," Lord Demon suggested.

'He's a High Demon Magician, so it's impossible for me to defeat him. Even if I managed to defeat him, I'll be in deep trouble if he turned out to be an heir of some big clan. But there's also a possibility that he's a banished High Demon. All I can do is delay him.'

'A few days ago I received a message that Duke Devilia is coming here for some reason. She should be here today. She'll handle him. If he is found out to be a banished one, I'll just request her to kill him, otherwise, I can just stay as his friend. Both situations are beneficial for me,' Lord Demon thought as he stepped closer to Ryder to greet him like a friend.

"Enraged Slash!" 

Just as the Lord Demon got close enough to Ryder, he swung his Scythe and separated the head of the Lord Demon from his body.

"I changed my mind. I want my Exp more. I can get my answers even from the girl," Ryder said with a smile on his face.

[+5000 Exp]

[+1 Level]

"Nice. Gotta say, the level gained is way higher than what I would have got from fighting the monsters," Ryder said with a pleased look on his face.

He turned back only to find the other demons running away.

Although some of them ran away, there were still many demons that had taken out their weapons. They looked like they were ready to fight Ryder.

"Oh well, Time to do justice to my name. Now you'll see the wrath of Hades," He smiled as he placed his scythe over his shoulders and started walking towards them like a grim reaper.

The fight continued and notifications kept echoing out one after another as Ryder killed the demons.

In less than 10 minutes, all the demons that remained there were dead. The ground was filled with their blood.

In one day, Ryder had managed to jump from level 5 to level 9.

He still had the Scythe in his hand as he walked closer to the girl that was tied by the ropes. Other than Ryder, she was the only one alive.

He swung his Scythe one last time as he cut the ropes.

The girl's hands were released from the painful bindings as she fell to her knees.

"Are you alright?" Ryder asked.

"I'm fine. Are you really a High Demon though?" The girl asked as she struggled to stand up.

"What is a High Demon according to you?" Ryder asked since he actually didn't know.

"A high demon? They're the higher species of us demons. They are many high demon species and quite a few of those don't even have horns," She replied.

"Just like me. Yeah, you can consider me a high demon," Ryder said.

What he didn't know was that someone was coming towards him at the moment.

A woman was flying through the sky as fast as she could. She had 2 beautiful black wings behind her back that helped her fly.

As she got to the small town that was supposed to be her destination, she was greeted by a pool of blood.

With a frown, she came down to the ground and landed right behind Ryder.

The woman had no aura. She was just like a dead person moving silently. Ryder didn't even realize as she landed behind him.

The girl on the other hand noticed the woman. Her eyes opened wide and she was about to scream, but the voice didn't come out of her mouth.

"Hey boy," The woman said to Ryder.

Ryder was surprised as he hurriedly turned back. He saw a woman standing in front of him.

He used <All-Seer> on her, but strangely, even the <All-Seer> wasn't able to show her stats.

There was a question mark before all her stats.

He realized that the woman was too high up in the level. She was nothing like the Demon Lord.

The woman on the other hand was even more surprised. Her eyes were stuck at the Moon Scythe of Ryder.

"Where did you get that thing?" She said as she pointed towards the scythe in his hand.


章 53: Chapter 54: King

"Are you asking me about that, Scythe?" Ryder asked with a curious look on his face.

"Yes. Where did you get that from?" She asked again.

'I can't even see her level, let alone her stats. She must be a high ranking demon. Does she recognize the Scythe? As far as I know, it's the scythe of their missing king. I might be able to use this opportunity,' Ryder thought as he observed the woman.

"Answer me!" The woman let out loud. She looked quite impatient this time.

"This Scythe? It was given to me by my Master!" Ryder said.

The woman looked visibly surprised.

"Your Master? What is his name?" She asked.

"His name? I shouldn't take my master's name. It's inappropriate for a disciple," Ryder shook his head as he refused to answer.

"I'm telling you! Answer me, honestly! What is your master's name?" She asked.

Ryder could feel her terrifying aura. He was trying too hard to keep standing still, but the aura was making him fearful. He would have fallen to his knees if he wasn't trying so hard.

"I won't say my master's name, but I will write it!" Ryder said as he used his scythe to write a name on the ground.

He wrote, "S A L E M."

The girl looked at the name on the ground for 5 minutes straight before she raised her head and glared at Ryder.

Her terrifying killing intent had become even stronger.

'Did I misjudge the situation?' Ryder thought with a worried look on his face.

"I can't read that? Are you messing with me? Tell me the name straight away!" The Woman shouted in anger.

"Hmm? You can't read English?" Ryder exclaimed in surprise.

In the normal regions of Divinity, English was the only language, so he was quite surprised that the demons had a different language.

"What is English? I don't care about that. Just tell me the name before I'm forced to kill you!" She said loudly.

"Alright, Don't get angry. I'll speak his name," Ryder said. He didn't want to keep pretending to be respectful to his so-called Master. It was enough already.

"I'm sorry for speaking your name, Master. Please forgive your disciple," He said as he looked towards the sky.

He lowered his head down and started looking towards the woman.

"My great master's great name is Salem!" He said as loudly as he could.

"H-his Majesty?" The woman's mouth opened wide as she fell down to her knees. Her killing intent disappeared like it was never there.

The woman's eyes got wet as tears appeared in her eyes.

She looked at Ryder as tears kept falling from her eyes.

"W-where's His Majesty? I mean, where's your master? Is he alright?" She asked in a stuttered tone.

"He's fine. My master is in the outside world. I was there as well when he selected me as his disciple. He taught me so many things. He even gave me his personal weapon Moon Scythe," Ryder said.

"Outside world? You mean the Worldly Realm?" She asked.

"Yes. He is still there. After teaching me a few things, he asked me to go to the Demon Realm to gain some experience." He replied.

" Master said that the Demon Realm is his home, and it's the best place for me to stay there. He also said that he would come to meet me in the future," He kept bluffing without breaking character.

The woman in front of him started crying even more. Her tears kept falling from her eyes.

"I'm so glad. His Majesty is safe. His Majesty never married and didn't leave an heir behind. You're his disciple, that means you're our Prince," She said as if she thought of something.

'What?' Ryder was more excited than surprised. This situation was moving in such a great direction for him. He wanted to laugh out loud.

"May I know the name of our Prince?" She asked as she stood up.

"I'm Hades. Also, you don't need to call me Prince. I realize that I'm the only disciple of Your king and that you should really make me your Prince and give me the throne since my master doesn't want the throne, and he would be happy if you make me the king. But you don't need to do any of that," Ryder said with an innocent smile on his face.

"Right! We can do that for His Majesty! He doesn't want the throne, but by making you the king, we can keep His Majesty happy. Come with me!" She said as she stepped forward and caught his hand.

Her wings spread wide as if she was prepared to fly. 

"Wait a minute. If you're taking me somewhere, I want that girl to come with us as well," Ryder insisted as he pointed towards the red-eyed girl.

The woman looked towards the girl that was sitting on the ground.

"But Prince, I see nothing special in her. If you want beautiful demons, you can get many in the place we're going to," The Woman said to Ryder.

"Just take her with us. I slaughtered the village to save her. Since I did all that, I might as well take her with me," Ryder said.

"Hmm? All that blood on the ground is because of you? Nice. I remember that His Majesty destroyed many towns and cities as well. It seems like the disciple is just like the master," She said.

She pointed towards the girl on the ground and gestured to her to come to them.

The girl stood up hesitantly as she stepped towards the woman.

The woman caught the girl's hand as well. She flew to the sky with both of them.

It seemed like she was using some magic that made them fly with her instead of being dragged by her.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Devilia. I'm a Demonic Duke in our Demon Empire," The woman introduced herself.

"Devilia? That's a cool name. I'm Hades," Ryder said.

He began looking towards the girl as he waited for her introduction.

"I'm Miyali; I'm just a low-level demon," The girl introduced herself as well.
