Chapter 196 Cleaning Up (3)
The face of the demon completely turned pale when he heard this.
His face fluctuated a few times before a look of resignation appeared on it.
With a sigh, he said, “I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
I gave a nod in response to this, but I didn’t give the order for Cecilia and Moon to put on his pants again. I just held The Penetrator in my hand as I asked my first question to the demon.
The demon hesitated in answering since he had been expecting to be allowed out of this position.
But seeing the calm and serious look that I had, the demon started answering with a bitter tone in his voice.
When I finished questioning the demon, I didn’t have Cecilia and Moon free the demon just yet.
I brought The Penetrator a bit closer, or rather, I pointed the tip of The Penetrator towards the demon’s behind.
When the demon saw this, he couldn’t help panicking as he shouted, “I already told you everything that I know! I swear that I don’t know anything else!”
I didn’t move at first as I stared at the face of the demon.
After staring at him for a bit, I finally pulled The Penetrator away from the demon and gave a nod to Cecilia and Moon.
They had been standing on the side with blushes on their faces, but for some reason that they didn’t understand…their hearts had been beating a bit fast. It was almost as if they wanted to see the scene of the demon getting…by The Penetrator.
When they heard the order, they even couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
But still, they quickly put the pants and underwear back on the demon and then brought him back with the rest.
After seeing them leave, I couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.
I wasn’t certain if that would work, but I was just glad that it did.
In fact, I was even more glad that the demon had broken down before I had been forced to use The Penetrator on him. After all, I might have threatened him with it…but it was the last thing that I actually wanted to do.
I definitely didn’t want to violate a man with a large dildo bat…
Once Moon and Cecilia came back, we didn’t waste any time heading off to the forest.
Moon had also summoned the two blonde elves, some other elves, and Apollo to come with us.
This was a magic array that was draining the magic power out of the forest, so we needed the elves that were skilled in magic to take care of it.
As we headed through the forest, I could feel Apollo’s glare burning my back.
However, I chose to ignore it in the end.
After all, I knew that there was nothing to gain from engaging with him now.
He had been against me from the beginning, so it wasn’t as if doing anything now would change that. At the same time, I had proof of his misdeeds to a certain extent, so it wasn’t as if he would do anything now.
As for the reason why Apollo came at all, it was because Moon had wanted him to come.
I had been confused about why she wanted this since I knew what relationship she had with him, but she had brought this up before anything else.
She had stated that she wanted Apollo to come because there were things she needed help with…
It wasn’t my place to say anything, though I couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Following the words of the demon, we were able to quickly find the magic array that was currently causing trouble in this forest.
This array was hidden in a cave not that far away from the clearing, but there was another array that was covering up the cave. If we didn’t know about it, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to find this cave.
It was because we knew about it that the elves had been using search magic the whole time.
But even then, it was only because Moon had recovered and used her more powerful search magic that we were able to find it. The rest of the elves weren’t able to detect a single thing when they used their search magic.
It seemed that this barrier was much stronger than they thought.
After finding it, there was still the difficult matter of figuring out how to stop it and destroy it.
Even if the demon that they interrogated was one of those that were close to the demon commander, it wasn’t as if he knew anything about this array. This magic array was something that the demon commander himself inscribed and maintained, so only the demon commander would know how to turn it off.
There were a few of the elves who suggested that we destroy it completely.

It was an array, so as long as they destroyed a few lines, they would be able to ruin it.
However, Moon and I immediately vetoed that idea.
This was an unknown array and we had no idea what would happen if we messed with it. There was the chance that there were defenses that had been placed, or we could have messed something up with the array, which might cause an explosion.
So before we could figure out what to do with it, it was best not to touch the array.
Though this was bad since it was still running and draining magic power, it was still better than the alternative.
For now, Moon had the idea of putting up a barrier around it.
While this wouldn’t stop the draining effect of the array, it would at least dampen it based on the barrier that she had put up around it.
Just like this, the elves focused on putting up the barrier around it.
During this time, I found that Moon and Apollo had disappeared from the group…
