Chapter 443
Chapter 443
«I will kill them all!» – Leila growled with the ferocity of a wild beast. After the recent spanking, she was so exasperated, and the horned ones appeared at the very moment when emotions most of all needed a way out.
«D-dad, I’ll protect you.» – said Eve, stammering excitedly.
«I don’t think they will care about me. My little flower, your task is not to let the demons take off, and also try not to miss the bird on which the commander will arrive. We need to get a new flying animal, the owl flew away…»
«Good.» – Eve nodded.
«And you, honey, leave a few demons alive. I need to interrogate them.» – Kyon said, for some reason not doubting that she was capable of murder, and added. – «And don’t let on that you’ve noticed them until they attack or start running away.»
«I… Will try…» – the girl said in a strangled voice, clenching her fists until her knuckles turned white.
«Have time to change…» – with these words, Kyon threw their training tights and quickly went to the edge of the plain, away from the future site of the massacre.
…
A dozen birds landed on the hills. The demons stepped on the ground. The squad was led by Fyodor, one of the best demon scouts in his family. He was distinguished by a brutal appearance, steel muscles, intimidating horns and a piercing gaze that could instantly suppress the will of any person. Being the sovereign phaser at the beginning stage (8), in Rosarrio, he felt like a tiger trampling on an anthill.
The demon looked around the plain and immediately noticed a huge cone-shaped funnel. The heart of the horned one missed a beat, because at least the practitioner of the overlord’s phase is capable of creating such destruction (9)!
A little later, the commander noticed a girl in the center of the plain, standing with her back to him and slowly warming up: she reached up to her toes, then threw up her hands to the sky.
Fyodor tensed up. Is it possible that she is the monster?! But soon he frowned thoughtfully. Too weird. If the girl were an overlord, she would easily notice the landing of a dozen huge birds, even if hidden by technology. Moreover, the question arises: what is she doing in the miserable empire of the 6th rank? And why did she create this funnel? If she just wanted to kill someone, then why hit with all her might? Suddenly, a guess was born in the mind of the horned one: it seems that someone decided to frighten off the intruders with a non-existent threat.
A tense silence hung over the thirty-three demons. They did not expect that they would experience something like this, having entered the territory of Rosarrio, where they are easily able to give battle to an entire army under the command of an experienced general.
{«Commander, your instructions?»} – his deputy asked through a mental link.
Fyodor, despite the almost complete certainty that someone is trying to deceive him, decided not to risk in vain: {«Saddle the birds. If she does not die, then flee. I’ll meet you at Mount Tai.»} – having finished, he created a spear of black flame in his hand. It looked truly impressive, and the eerie aura emanating from it made everyone shudder. Taking a step, the demon threw the spear, and it rushed towards the girl with a frightening howl at an elusive speed.
With an icy gleam in her eyes, Leila instantly turned around and grabbed the spear, stopping it in front of her at arm’s length.
~puff~
With a muffled clap, a small, tender hand crushed the edge of the spear, suppressing all the colossal power of the sovereign phaser at the beginning stage contained in it. Only numerous fading tongues of black flame splattered the surroundings, turning the grass into jelly.
The three dozen demons instantly turned pale, bulging their eyes in disbelief. The elite A-rank “Spear of the Evil God” technique was crushed as if it was an annoying bug! What kind of wild monster did they meet?!
«Shit… TAKE OFF!» – Fyodor roared and was covered in cold sweat in an instant, however, turning around, he saw that an indistinct shadow scattered his soldiers, not allowing them to take off, thereby condemning them to imminent death.
If Eve hadn’t been ready to intercept, many demons would have managed to escape.
«Leave them to me! THEY ARE ALL MINE!» – Leila shouted recklessly, after which she quickly burst into a group of stunned demons and with special rapture hit the luckiest one really hard.
~POP~
The body of the horned one turned not even into minced meat, but into a bloody cloud with rare clumps of flesh. Moreover, a large part of the hill turned into a meteor shower, sweeping away everything in its path for the next kilometers.
«A-AA-AA-A-AA!» … «BO-O-OOM-MM…» … «BITCH!» … «STOP Me-e-eh…» – the death cries and howls of the victims made everyone’s blood run cold. The elite demon squad now looked like newborn bunnies in front of two hungry alpha wolves.
Some soldiers tried to resist, but did not have a single opportunity to even aim at the monstrously fast girls. One of them, for example, used a massive water technique, for which he immediately lost his head.
A devilish smile from the rapture of the battle did not leave Leila’s lips. Remembering how her father had recently spanked her, she enjoyed pouring out the accumulated resentment on the horned ones: some demons lost their hands, some – their heads, and the chests of some demons were pierced through. Previously, she barely strangled the imperial phaser at the beginning stage, and now she mocks demons with impunity. Although each of them is much stronger than all the previous attackers combined! And, most importantly, they are enemies, which means that they can and should be killed without a twinge of conscience.
Eve behaved more restrained: first she took the commander’s bird away from the scene of the massacre, so that it would not fly away from fright, then she came to finish off the demons suffering in death agony due to her sister’s fault. But accidentally remembering how their predecessors had groped her, she angrily kicked one of the horned ones below the belt. It made him foam at the mouth.
When Kyon went up to the place of the bloodbath, he felt uneasy at the sight of the girls completely smeared in blood. For a second, it even seemed to him that they had regained their memory, otherwise how could it be possible to behave so calmly after what they had done? But they hadn’t.
«I’m sorry, Dad, I couldn’t resist…» – looking down, Leila muttered guiltily, lightly pressing the head of the squad leader into the stone with her foot. He’s the only one who survived.
«Honey, hold his hands. My little flower, pour pure energy into him. This will block his ability to use the elements.»
«I got it.» … «Okay.» – the girls immediately complied with the order.
Kyon looked into the commander’s red eyes and spoke in the dialect of his race: «Name?»
«Human pig, I won’t tell you anything!» – Fyodor spat out with contempt.
«It’s not up to you to decide.» – Kyon took out three needles. – «Did Lucius send you? Or Kara? Which family do you serve? I will give you five seconds to answer, after which I will hurt you very much.»
{Dad speaks their language!} – the girls were surprised. Another pleasant surprise.
«Burn in hell, brat! For the master, for Persephone!» – the commander shouted with fanatical fire in his eyes.
«WAIT!» – Kyon shouted, but the demon’s gaze had already gone out. Immediate death. A suicidal formation triggered in his brain. It is activated by the power of thought (or by loss of consciousness). He had read something like that in books about elite demon scouting squads. As expected, it is not easy to extract information from them. However, he found out something. The demon said “for the master”. If Lucius had been his master, he would have said – “for the sovereign”, and if Kara – “for the mistress”. But which master exactly did he mean?
«Is he dead?» – Leila was surprised and looked at Zosimos with fright. – «Ouch…»
Lovr realized that even with a dozen prisoners, the result would have remained the same. However, why not take advantage of the situation? He glanced angrily at the pixie and with an expression of the deepest disappointment on his face uttered: «Leila, dad is very… very dissatisfied with you!»
Leila instantly made puppy eyes, stepping back and firmly holding her ass with her palms: «Daddy, I’m sorry… I-I didn’t do it on purpose… I couldn’t resist!»
«That’s right, you could not resist! And I won’t be able to resist now either!»
«Please don’t! My butt is already numb!» – retreating, the girl complained tearfully, as if she had completely forgotten that she was a million times stronger than the man. However, what is the use of physical strength when psychologically she has already lost?
Kyon was satisfied with the result of the spanking. He has consolidated his dominant position: Leila instinctively puts him above herself, treats him with respect, so she is afraid to disobey him or get punished. Unfortunately, after a while, the effect will weaken, and she will start to become impudent again. If, after a one-time spanking, the child could be taught to obey once and for all, then the parents of the whole world would dance with happiness. Mentally, the pixie is already at least a teenager.
«As punishment, pluck nine keys from each demon and bring me!»
«Good!» – Leila was delighted and ran to collect the loot.
{Rummaging through corpses is less unpleasant for her than being spanked… There is definitely something wrong with this girl.} – Kyon shook his head.
«What should I do?» – Eve asked, looking around in disgust.
Lovr pointed to the only flying animal that had not flown away, similar to a pterodactyl, which used to belong to the commander, and asked to make friends with him: pet it and feed it fish by the river. Given the little fairy’s ability to find a common language with animals, it should work. He also ordered her to remove all alien formations from the bird, if she senses any.
When the girl somehow flew away, Kyon created a “Sphere of annihilation” inside his stomach. The aura of time emanating from it entered the soul and resonated with the core of the Void, because of this, the force of gravity increased significantly… The souls of slain demons slowly floated to the source. He did the same on the previous wave of demons in order to absorb souls that are too «heavy» to be absorbed by the core without this stimulation.
«Wow, what kind of feeling is this?!» –Leila was amazed, staring at the man. The supreme aura emanating from him evoked subconscious respect, as if an almighty emperor was standing next to her, albeit small and unremarkable in appearance, but undeniably great.
«Don’t distract me and keep working with your hands. Then wash up.» – ordered Kyon.
The girl hesitated and continued to do her dirty work, sometimes looking at him with interest.
Soon the core began to saturate. One soul… the third one… the tenth one… 35%… 55%… 95%… 100%! The most difficult condition for a unique body is fulfilled! He thanks Kara for the delicious treat. Where else could he find so many souls of the imperial phasers? He wasn’t going to go to war…
However, joy quickly gave way to dejection: Kyon absorbed only 28 souls out of 33, and the most developed of them was the imperial phaser at the 7th stage. This means that he could not absorb souls developed in more than 4 phases… Would he have to give up the most delicious souls?
Lovr was not going to give up until he completely exhausted his strength. Greed is in his blood. Speaking of greed: Leila has just put a bag of keys next to him, the total value of which is 10 times higher than all the keys stolen from the Feruzs treasury! Now he has enough keys for 62.5% soul enchantment at the highest level of durability. The remaining 37.5% will have to be bought through the Golden Pig guild. He has already agreed with Gusteau on a long-term purchase of keys from all over the world.
After an hour, Kyon’s energy was depleted. Alas, no matter what he tried, he could not absorb the remaining 5 developed souls, which is why they flew into the bowels of the earth.
Opening his eyelids, Lovr found two washed and disguised girls sitting next to him in the lotus position with their eyes closed. They seemed to enjoy being near the source of an incredible supreme aura, like capybaras basking in the sun.
When the aura went out, the girls looked at dad with unconscious respect.
Kyon was pleased with the results of the day: he collected keys to increase from 12.5% enchantment to 62.5%; filled the core with souls from 30% to 100%, or even higher; got a magnificent flying beast of high rank; and also showed Leila who is the boss!
«And now, girls, you go to “The Garden of Eden” hotel, and dad still has a lot to do.»
«Are we going back to the hotel where we stayed before?!» – Eve beamed.
«Yes, bunny. I won’t need to hide from my employer anymore.» – Kyon thought of Valeera. It’s time to meet her, and before that he will take Edward.
