44 Demon King (1/2)
”It's not, but it is strong.” Adum looked at the demon with disgust. ”The demons know that we've taken one of them, so they'll definitely try to help it out.”
”How did you even capture this demon?” Karl tapped on the glass, making the demon move.
”The residents of the city were reporting what they called a ball of flesh that was alive. At first, we didn't take it seriously, but we were forced to when it started devouring people.”
”It devoured people?”
”Yup, it just absorbed them, making itself stronger.” As much as that was evil, Karl thought it was badass.
Meanwhile, far away from the city of the dead, eight demons were having a meeting. These eight demons are the strongest demons, with each one of them sentenced to over ten thousand years in the afterlife.
A male demon covered in rock-like scales spoke first, ”When can we escape this hell?” This wasn't an ordinary male demon. It was the one who created demonic mana and the first demon, The Demon King.
”Ssssoooon,” a female demon said. Her lower body resembled that of a snake's, and she had a long tongue. ”We are making big progressss. The dimensional ripssss are almosssst big enough for ussss to crossss.”
The Demon King nodded. ”That is very good, Sthise. When do you think we'll be able to escape?”
Sthise blushed, her tail wagging back and forth. ”Maybe in a week? It'ssss hard to ssssay.”
”Good, we'll finally be able to go back to the mortal realm.” The Demon King looked around at the other demons. ”Does anyone have something else important?”
A male demon that resembled a tiger spoke up, ”My king, I have something important.”
”What is it?” the Demon King asked.
”We didn't think it would be possible, but we've found a Kaitera that wants to be a demon,” the tiger demon replied.
”Interesting. Are you sure it's not a spy?”
”That is unlikely as even if it's a spy, the demonic mana will corrupt it, turning it to our side.”
The Demon King laughed. ”Good, good.”
Back to Karl and Adum, they were back in Adum's office.
”So, anything else?” Adum asked.
”No, that should be it,” Karl replied.
”Master, can I ask you something?”
”Go for it.”
”What should we do about the demons? They're evil and will cause a lot of chaos in the world. If you want, I can go and eliminate them right now.”
