Chapter 187 - The Way Back Home (V) (1/2)

The Demon Barracks, near the location of Bladeheart and the others.

The commander demon that is currently doing some of the plans to take over the surrounding villages is currently doing some work on the plan when a few demons approached.

”Sir, we lost contact with the troops of High Demon Lucas. We also lost contact with High Demon Lucas a few moments after the former signal was lost.”

The commander looked at the reporting demons and stop what he is currently doing and grab a bottle of blood wine on the table, chugging the contents down without a care.

”...So he was taken out. Which means that area is a place of interest. If Lucas was killed, have you all tracked where his orb of life went?”

”We did. Currently, it was in the possession of his killer and he is keeping it with him.”

”Looks like those immortal players have finally taken hold of our plan to take over Resurgia continent. That only means that the means to finish things is not in a good way possible.”

”Do you have a plan, sir?”

”Yes, of course. However, we have to be patient and plan our things. After all, immortal players that suddenly arrived in this world are the prophesized saviors of this world. Our only option to be able to properly eliminate the possibility of them winning is by killing the real inhabitants of this world. The players might be killed but they are immortal and blessed by the Goddess of Death to return to life. That only means we have to tread our decisions properly so that we can carry out our lord's plan. If the immortal players have no more to protect, they don't have any reason either to keep fighting.

...

”Hey, Bladeheart, tell me the specifics! I need to also get a house too! I wanted to decorate my own mansion too!” Dolly kept on begging for me to tell her how I got it.

”How many times did I tell you that I received it from the Realty Agent in the Headquarters! You have been there, right? You should have already known that the Realty Agent is also situated there!”

”No.”

”I bet Dolly was busy killing monsters that she didn't know the HQ has any sort of employees there,” Hagane took a wild guess.

”How did you know?!”

”Holy sh*t, I nailed it...” Hagane facepalmed.

”As I said earlier, it was a quest from the Realty Agent. She tasked me to kill the enemies in a mansion and if I did, I will be able to get ownership of the place. So yeah, I got the mansion and it is good as new for me.”

I  scratch my head after explaining it again and again. I took a glance at the goblins not too far from us. The kids cuddled near their mother while the father goblin is currently gripping his crossbow tight. From the way he is alert, he is trying his best to keep an eye on the surroundings for any possible attacks from the demons. Being in the demon frontline, this guy might have developed alertness on the battlefield where every enemy will kill them all.

From my understanding, if they are players, the male goblin would be a Hunter, while the female goblin would be a cleric. After seeing her use holy magic last time, I can assume that is the light attribute to the power of the monsters. I know this since the spell she just used last time is not possible for a cleric to use and the only people I have seen to have used that kind of ability are the monsters with sentience.

Also, this is the first time I have seen a goblin who has these classes. In all my battles against enemies like goblins that are hostile and part of the demon army, most of them are warriors and the bigger ones would be either a tank or a berserker hobgoblin. As for the weaker goblins but has the ability to use mana, they are always seen as goblin shaman and nothing more than that. So seeing a Hunter class and cleric class goblins are new to me.

I spotted my mansion in the distance. It was a sore thumb in a forest so I am not mistaken about what I am seeing.

”We are almost there. Don't worry, that place is safe for everyone even for your kids. You guys don't need to worry about the demons coming to invade my home anytime soon.”

”Well, that is good news,” the male goblin said.
