Chapter 115: Blowing the Fortune of Continent 2

Three months had passed since Luke took in the four knights.

Things changed in the meantime. Luke was already 18 years old.

In the meantime, he exchanged correspondence with the retainers of Rakan once every week.

In the letter, Luke gave them instructions based on the reports they sent in.

First, the Old Count Monarch’s, except for the city of Lamer, other areas had been sold, and the ones that were left were integrated into the Rakan Viscount.

Allegiance to the sword by the nobles and the lords about their subordination to Rakan.

Rakan’s population had risen to 320,000, and its number of knights and soldiers increased significantly.

They also got more of the most important power in the war, Gigants, which were now over 60.

‘Phew, but it still isn’t enough to fight the Imperial family, but it still is great progress,’ thought Luke.

The Merchant Union, a coalition of five small and medium-sized businesses, led by Kirillov had settled in earlier.

Based in the city of Lamer, they had shown signs of increasing imports and export customers and direct transport to the Southern continent had been established.

‘Surely, I found the right person.’

If Luke would have thought of ruling Lamer by himself, maybe such a drastic success and development wouldn’t have happened.

No, he would lose a lot of money and fail.

However, the Volga retainers under princess Reina and the Volga workers shook the merchants with their abilities and succeeded.

It was all thanks to placing the right talented people in the right place.

‘Is the Katarina Magic Tower doing well?’

When the magic tower was built completely, Mute actively recruited freelancing wizards.

The magic books that Luke had given to Mute had been an essential bait in recruiting wizards.

‘I’m a lord now. Should I be getting stronger too?’ Thought Luke.

Luke hadn’t missed even a day of Gold Sword and dark magic practice over the past three months.

Bone-cutting efforts had been made in the basement of the fort.

But his practice didn’t end there.

Every night of a full moon, he would go to a place far from the fortress and summon demons.

He seized the Magi from the summoned demons and absorbed their power.

“Master, what kind of demon are you going to summon today?”

Sebastian asked while grinning,

“Well, I’d like to see someone with nice abilities…”

The demon summoning was random.

Luke couldn’t just call a demon that he wanted. He would just be able to choose whether the demon he summoned would be something he wanted or not.

“I want a guy who is weaker in revival than you, so I can use it as a load.”

“Is there a demon that is possibly weaker than me?” Asked Sebastian.

At the question from Sebastian, Luke smiled. Except for stealth and poison, Sebastian was very weak in strength.

It was still questionable if there were demons that were much weaker than Sebastian.

“If we searched well, wouldn’t there be at least one?” Asked Sebastian.

“Hut, understood. If one does really exists, I will give it to you,” said Luke.

“Really?”

“I promise.”

“Kyaaa~! I’m happy, master! I will be more loyal to you in the future!”

Sebastian jumped up and down.

Rather than feeling bad for making another demon a slave of a human, he was eager to exert his suppressed feelings and feel superior to the other demon rather than to share its pain.

Luke drew the summoning circle on the ground. He cut his palm a little and let his blood drip into the summoning circle.

As his blood dripped into the Summoning circle, the circle began to gleam with light and the subspace opened.

Out of the subspace came a sharp impression and figure of a Vampire dressed in black.

“Huhuhu. I’m thirsty… Three thousand five hundred and seventy… the second subordinate Belfair of Vampire King Leviathan. Human, make a contract with me… Uh?”

The vampire tried to make Luke draw a contract with him but became dumbfounded when he saw Sebastian.

“Human, what is that cat? Did you draw a contract with him already?”

Humans could only draw one contract with demons.

The soul that had to be given for the contract was only one. And everyone had only one soul.

At the words from Belfair, Sebastian jumped out of his place.

“Kyaarrr! Who are you calling a cat? This is the body of the King of Evil, Sebastian!”

“Kuk! If I just blow ‘Hu’, your body will fly away at that very moment.”

“Wah, you’re really. I will show you what I am!”

“Be calm, Sebastian,” said Luke.

After calming Sebastian down, Luke talked to Belfair,

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of making a contract with you.”

“Then, why did you summon me?”

“Because I want to deprive you of your Magi and then take your abilities.”

“Kaahhaha!” Belfair laughed out loud at the words of Luke.

After a moment, he calmed himself down and talked to Luke,

“You dare take my power, the subordinate of Leviathan and his bloody race? It has been a while since I have been out to play on earth.”

“We’ll see who is the crazy one,” stated Luke.

Luke began to use Dark Blitz on Belfair.

Sebastian, who saw that, cheered for his master.

“Master! You need to win!”

Belfair’s abilities were that of a vampire and fencing.

Although he was a low ranking demon, his sword skills were almost close to a Sword Master.
