800 The Demon World's Twelve Pillars
A few days passed as Lawrend’s group traveled through the whole continent. They passed by several cities, farms, demons, or anything a civilization would have. It was almost similar to the Human World except for some minor discrepancies like technology.
A huge expansive city appeared over the horizon. A huge straight wall stretched from left to right, disappearing from view.
“Is Central Demonic a huge megacity?” Lawrend asked.
It was bigger than anything he had seen before. Even the cities in his past life were smaller than this. It was unfathomable how many demons lived here.
“Yes, Master. Central Demonic is circular, but it looks like it has straight lines up close,” Juju explained.
Many mouths formed an ‘O’ as that fact wowed them.
“Lead the way.”
Juju flew faster and went ahead of them. They flew for a quarter of an hour and arrived before a terrific palace.
There were twelve obsidian-black sharp pillars stretching up for a thousand meters. They were arranged in a circular formation.
An open platform was built at the center with a slender pillar to support it. On the platform were twelve empty grandiose seats.
“This is Central Demonic. Jujuju.”
Juju looked back and smiled at Lawrend.
“The Twelve Heaven Demons gather here once every twelve years. Recently, we all started staying here because of the angel’s invasion. The main portal is located a thousand meters below the ground.”
As Lawrend looked on, he couldn’t help but feel pressured. He had killed Heaven Demon Gilgamesh.
Out of the twelve of them, there were still ten remaining. It was unknown to him if his group could defend against them attacking together.
Lawrend was a Heaven Mage, and so were Ember, Elena, and the Heaven Demon Juju. 4 v 10 was hard to imagine at the level of a Heaven Mage. Who knew what kind of tricks they had up their sleeves?
“Juju.”
Ten female figures flew out to meet them. Some of them had indifferent expressions on their faces, but most of them glared at their group. Their intentions were unclear, but it was definitely not good.
“Krives, what are you glaring at me for?” Juju snappily responded back.
The demon was a well-endowed woman. She had large curves that would suffocate a man if she tried. Her long black dress reached down a few meters below her.
If there was a competition for attention seekers, she would most likely win.
“Where is Gilgamesh?” Krives asked with a raised eyebrow.
It was natural for her to be suspicious. Juju disappeared for more than five years after she went after Gilgamesh to help.
As demon women, there was only one thing that popped in their minds. It didn’t even enter their minds that Gilgamesh was killed by someone.
“He’s dead,” Juju flatly revealed.
She wasn’t intimidated by them. She was confident with Lawrend here with her.
“Hmph. Is it a male or a female?” Krives asked, assuming that Juju took his soul into her belly after she got pregnant.
“My Master killed him.” Juju pointed at Lawrend beside her.
Lawrend got out of his stupor when he sensed the hostile inquisitive gazes the ten women gave him. He was looking at each of them and understanding how their magics worked.
“Stop lying, Juju.”
Krives only took a single glance at Lawrend before putting her gaze back to Juju. She didn’t believe that Lawrend managed to kill Gilgamesh.
Out of all of them, Gilgamesh was the hardest to kill. Otherwise, some of them would have already forced Gilgamesh to copulate with them.
“Jujuju. Why would I?” Juju giggled.
Seeing the confident smile on Juju’s face, Krives stared back at Lawrend. But no matter how hard she looked at him, he looked average at best. He was quite handsome, but his looks were not what they were looking for.
“If you want to kiss me, you can but beware that my hands are itchy,” Lawrend said as a faint smile slowly formed on his face.
The majority of them furrowed their eyebrows as they took offense at his brash words. Krives puffed her chest out and lifted her chin up.
It was the standard posture of a woman that was about to spit out her pride.
“Kiss you? I can’t even sense a decent mana from you.”
Krives looked down at him. At her level, it was simple for her to sense someone’s mana levels. What she didn’t know was that Lawrend’s mana control was almost perfect.
There were almost no leakages of his mana. Thus, it would seem like he was very weak from their perspective.
“Are you sure?” Lawrend whispered.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm His voice echoed from everywhere. Krives blinked her eyes, and Lawrend was not there anymore. She felt a chill run down her spine, and she turned around.
Lawrend was there. He stretched his hand forward and gripped her neck. He tightened it hard.
“*Guhk!*”
Krives widened her eyes in horror. She grasped Lawrend’s wrist and tried to pour her overwhelming mana into his body to make his mana pathways chaotic.
Unfortunately for her, she was facing Lawrend. He simply converted the demonic water mana she gave him for free and turned it into his own.
“I’m not a weak demon man like that greedy Gilgamesh. *Slap!*”
Lawrend swung his palm and slapped Krives right across her cheek. Simultaneous gasps sounded from the other Heaven Demons.
Krives turned red from shame, but she couldn’t respond back due to him constricting her neck like a vise.
“Release her!”
“Stop!”
“We will kill you if you try to harm her!”
The other Heaven Demons close to Krives immediately stepped in. They were horrified at Lawrend’s speed. They were too late before realizing what was already happening.
“Ella, did you see that clearly?” Lawrend asked Ella, who was watching from Juju’s side. He ignored the Heaven Demons around him.
“Yes, Master. Thank you for your guidance. Can I get some more?” Ella politely asked.
She wasn’t prepared, so she wasn’t able to see everything. She only saw a tiny glimpse of the space magic he used.
