Chapter 38: The Fierce Battle in the Chapel (2/2)

There was no escape for them now. They could either surrender or try to capture me.

“Let’s attack, there’s nothing to think about here. Rather than serving a lowly female devil, we might as well give it a last shot!”

*Roar roar!* “Kill!”

In the midst of their chaotic howls, the head imps charged at my refined bone shield wall.

What greeted them was the terrifying Mo sabers. With their boosted penetrating power, the two leading imps were instantly skewered by the saber wielders!

The head imps didn’t expect the saber wielders to ignore some of them and instead focus their thrusts onto a single imp. Over three Mo sabres descended onto each unprepared head imp instantly penetrating them. This sneak attack left the two with several holes all over their bodies.

The remaining 5 head imps collided with the shield wall. While they were all injured, their strength was still impressive, and was not something two large imps could hold back. The shield formation was instantly toppled by their charges. Thankfully, their target was me and so they didn’t bother with the other large imps.

The desperadoes stepped over the bone shields and large imps and continued triumphantly towards me.

Bone Wall!

I had expected the shield wall to topple so I made some preparations for my bone wall prior to their charge. With a large amount of mana already channeled into the spell, a nigh impenetrable wall of bones rose from the ground, shutting down their advance. Punch after punch landed on the wall, but it was all in vain as their flurry of blows did nothing to the sturdy wall.

This was a wall that I had ample time to erect, they definitely had no hope of breaking through it.

With their hopes of breaking through the wall dashed, they decided to circle around the bone wall. However, as they turned around, they discovered that the paper-like shield wall they had toppled was now erected once more!

The large imps worked together and slowly closed in on the head imps, driving them slowly into a corner with the furious thrusts of their Mo sabers. It was too late to escape!

By now No.3 and Big 4 had already recovered from their bout of unconsciousness and joined the other named imps in blocking off the head imps’ escape.

With the bone wall blocking them from the front, the Mo sabers closing in on their flanks, and the armed large imp army blocking off their rear; they had no way to escape. Soon a few more head imps were stabbed to death by a couple of sabers through their heads.

“I…surrender…”

“I surrender as well…”

The final two imps knelt down and surrendered upon discovering they had no hope of escape.

The devils stopped attacking at this instant. They knew I enjoyed recruiting new subordinates. This time was likely the same as well.

As I dispelled the bone wall, I coldly smiled at them and said: “Surrender?”

“Yes, we are willing to serve you, great Master. Please accept our utmost loyalty.”

“Great Master, I’m willing to serve you as well.”

“Surrender? You should’ve done so earlier.” Without a hint of anger in my voice, I gave out a soft command as I turned around and left the chapel. “Leave none alive.”

“…nooo…I’m willing to surrender…”

“Spare me…Master spare my life…”

“Understood, Master!!”

As both their tortured howls finally dissipated into the air, the village was quiet once more.

As for why I didn’t accept their surrender, I wasn’t sure either. My head was in turmoil at the moment and my heart was hurting badly.

I thought of that female devil who got kidnapped because she pushed me away. She was always quietly by my side like a shadow; never leaving me for long. While I had suspected that she had ulterior motives, I didn’t chase her away, but didn’t give her a name either.

After reincarnating into a devil, I had been saved multiple times by my subordinates, so I thought that I was already numbed to this fact. At least I thought I wouldn’t be as shaken as I was when No.4 saved me…he…I had always seen him as being the weakest and most cowardly subordinate among my named imps…but he still made the choice to save me, and for that….he died.

Even as he died, I couldn’t see a hint of regret or pain in his eyes. All I saw was the relief in his eyes upon seeing that I was safe…I don’t understand, I really don’t understand…I don’t understand why that memory always brought me to tears…

That relieved look on the female devil as she got kidnapped…it hurts so much. No.4…that weak and often bullied little fellow. Even though he had a name, his standing was even worse than No.5. In spite of that, he saved me, in order to save me, he died…

I don’t understand…why did these devils have the desire to save others even at their own expense?

What will happen to that female large imp who got kidnapped? Will she really become food for them?
