Chapter 49 - Reapers (2) (2/2)

”Grey horns? We are definitely lucky today... just one of those can usually destroy our entire group!”

”But what killed these devils? And so precisely at that? These are clean cuts...”

”I got blood on my foot! Dammit, why did those idiots have to stick their heads out of that bush? I'm going to have to wash my feet soon, I hope there's a f***ing river nearby... O wait, I remember there is a river bank next to a clearing around a kilometre away. It should be good enough to clean up this mess.” Simon complained as he continued manoeuvring the trees.

”Hmmm... I think I see the clearing, and the river bank.” Simon said as he found himself near a large clearing.

”Welp, time to wash my feet.” This is exactly what Simon did. There was no 'lady bathing in the river' event this time around, he just washed his feet and continued to run.

'Welp, I'm nearly at the Reaper mansion, this has been a very boring trip. No wonder I always stay in the mansion.”

'This place might be beautiful, but there is almost nothing here. All there is is trees and bushes, with the occasional riverbank and clearing. Thank goodness, I'm nearly at the Reaper mansion.'

'But how will I sneak in? I honestly forgot about that part. Maybe I should get myself invited, that could work. But how would I get myself invited into the mansion?'

”Hmmm....”

”I honestly don't want to go in the mansion, so I might as well go to the town and just wait outside and make sure nothing bad happens at the door. That should be good enough! I just hope that brother of mine doesn't mess this sh*t up and get himself killed. That would be a real huge pain!”

Simon again melded into the forest as he quickly approached a large town. Entering through the shadows, he moved into a small crowd of common demons and low tiered devils, making himself seem as normal as possible.

Crypts: A Maquess house that was founded by Sata Crypts, the Blood Monarch of Blades. The house has been in a rather moderate decline over the years, but is nevertheless as Maquess house. The current head is Karlus Crypts.

Reaper: A Diva house that was founded by Blanche Reaper, the Blood Monarch of Nights. The Reaper house has always continued to keep an amiable relationship with the Crypts house because their founders were rumoured to be cousins. The house has maintained a powerful hold on its political base and has not declined as much as Crypts. The current head is Hadrius Reaper.

Shrieze: A Diva house that was founded by Sepiks Shrieze, the Blood Monarch of Terror. The Shrieze house is more powerful than the Reaper house and maintains little to no connections with people from other houses. Is rumoured to hold a a devil on the edge of becoming 8th rank. The current head is Lucia Shrieze.

Mortyr: A Clar house that was founded by Oberon Mortyr, the Blood Monarch of Order. The Mortyr house is no longer a powerful house like it was back in its glory days, and prefers to stay out of the political game. The current head is Oberon Mortyr XII.

Litz: A Maquess house that was founded by Uldra Litz, the Blood Monarch of Knowledge. The Litz house is home to the demon world's grandest library, housing over a million different books of days gone by. Although not a powerhouse, the Litz house is well respected as the keepers of knowledge and history. The current head is Talia Litz.

More information on the demon world will be released later on. I won't be putting them in extras, since barely anyone reads those :(
