266 That Was Close
Outside the inn, Dragonnel was still in his dragon form and he was standing on top of a building, looking down on a cluster of people kneeling on the ground! Dragonnel just wanted to kill all of them! He didn’t care about any of these people anymore after what their leader did to the demon lord, but since the demon lord told him to spare some people, he would not kill them. Quinn already relayed the message to both Dragonnel and Rosavellt and they were done killing the people that were not useful! The people that were spared were all youths that could move easily, so it will be easier for them to handle the bodies of the dead.
Rosavellt was standing at one side, cleaning the blood off her sword. She had a stoic look on her face as she flicked her sword to the side and made sure that it shone perfectly before she opened a spatial space and threw the sword inside. She didn’t even need to use her shield against mere humans! The humans on Volcanica were strong for humans, but they didn’t hold a candle to her or Dragonnel!
Rosavellt turned to Quinn and she nodded as she felt content with Quinn’s level for now. Rosavellt still remembered how weak Quinn was when she joined the demon lord and she couldn’t even handle ten giants on her own! But now, Quinn was capable of dealing with multiple S-class humans without breaking a sweat! Quinn might not see it, but her training with Pyra has made her a much stronger fighter than she has ever been before!
Doon!
Dragonnel looked up into the sky suddenly as he felt something hit his senses! It was a familiar feeling, but it wasn’t close enough for him to notice what it really was. Dragonnel narrowed his eyes curiously ad he wondered what that could be. Dragonnek looked down at Rosavellt and Dragonnel saw that she also noticed the strange feeling! It was like a magic signature, but it was too far away! It was at least a hundred miles away from them! It would not be possible to go and investigate since they already have a mission that they need to complete! Dragonnel just transformed back to his human form and sighed as he folded his hand across his chest! He turned to the humans kneeling before him and all of them whimpered and shifted away from him once he laid eyes on them! None of them even dared to look him in the eye ad they all just prayed that he won’t kill them!
“What will we do with them after they finish taking the bodies? Floi – I mean, the demon lord didn’t tell us what we should do with them afterward!”
Quinn was the one that asked this question and she smiled sheepishly once she finished! She was just about to call Floid by his name, but once Rosavellt gave her a look, she immediately switched it to the demon lord! She was just used to calling Floid by his name! Even when they are alone, she calls him by his name and he never says anything to stop her! Why would Rosavellt be so uptight about it?
Dragonnel just ignored Quinn and he told her to do whatever she wanted with them. Maybe it would be best to just send them to the demon world and have them work on the farm if there is nothing for them to do here. He decided that he would ask the demon lord about it as he went to the inn.
…….
Ria and Givalich were flying over the continent as they made their way to the Duruvian mountains and Ria held on tight as she felt Givalich divert their path with a sharp turn that almost threw her off Givalich’s back! What the hell is Givalich doing!?
“Why did you turn so suddenly!? I almost fell off! At least hug me a warning before you turn like that!”
Ria shouted this out in annoyance! It was the first time that she would be getting so annoyed with Givalich and she expected Givalich to at least say she was sorry, but Givalich only grunted in response and Ria pouted angrily! What the hell was that!? Givalich should at least explain!
Givalich wasn’t going to explain it to Ria, but the truth was that she felt the magic signature of her brother and that was the reason she turned so suddenly.
Givliach knew that this area was close to Dragonnel’s former territory and if she had continued flying in that direction, she would have eventually run into a town that was built right on his Territory. That is where she initially wanted them to rest, but there is no way she is going there right now!
Guvalich moved fast enough that she is sure that Dagonnel didn’t notice her, but she definitely noticed him! His magic signature was too strong for her not to notice him! And it even felt like he was in his dragon form! What the hell is Dragonnel doing in that town!? Is he really razing it to the ground?
Givalich would have normally gone to see Dragonnel if he was there alone, but from what Givalich felt, Dragonnel was there with some of the strongest demons in the demon world. Givalich felt both the demon lord and Alucard’s magic signature as well! Their power was too high for her not to notice so she was sure it is them! And even Rosavellt was there! The numbers were not in her favor and if she went there now, she would lose, so she would take a detour through another town and they will rest there instead!
Givalich told that last part to Ria, but Ria just huffed and turned her head out the side in anger! Givalich ignored the childish act as she continued flying towards the next town. ia had no idea the sort of trouble they just escaped from.
They had to get to the Duruvian mountains as quickly as possible now! Givalich just hoped that this worked and Dragonnel would come back with her after the demon lord dies.
Givalich sped up as she started rushing towards the Duruvian mountains so she could get a head start before the demon lord starts coming after them. She wanted to rest in the next town and take a bath since they have been flying for about two days now, but she is going to go for one more day and pass through to the next town after this one!
…….
Floid was drinking the alcohol that Dracula made for him when he heard Dragonnel, Quinn, and Rosavellt entering the room. They all had a lot of blood on their hands and clothes and Floid asked them if they were finished with the town. Dragonnel nodded seriously and he bowed deeply to Floid.
” I apologize for my oversight in this town. I should have informed them that the demon lord was on his way and ensured they showed you proper respect. I assure you that something like this will never happen again!”
Floid hummed and he just told Dragonnel to stand up. So long as he has learned his lesson ad this never happens again, then there was no problem! Dragonnel asked Floid what they should do with the remaining humans that they didn’t kill and Floid told him to keep three women here to take care of the inn and send the remaining humans back to the demon world to work in the farm. Dragonnel bowed respectfully as he accepted the order and he immediately left to do as he was told!
Floid looked at Quinn from over his cup and he noticed how she was squirming in her outfit. She had blood all over her and she looked very uncomfortable as she scratched her left arm with her sharp nails! Floid was glad that Quinn was already becoming more demon-like and he knew that it was only a matter of time before she no longer cared about blood or killing and she just do whatever he orders her to.
But for now, she was looking like an idiot as she tried to remove all the blood from her body. Floid finished his drink and he calmly stood up and spoke up to Rosavellt.
“Prepare a bath for me and Quinn.”
Rosavellt was shocked to hear that Flood wanted a bath for just the two of them! Rosavellt was used to always being with Floid whenever he was taking a bath and she had never missed a single one! She turned to Qu8nn and she saw the shocked wide eye look on Quinn’s face. This meant that Quinn didn’t expect this either and she was also stunned! Rosavellt didn’t have any right to Question Floid, so she just bowed and turned to do as she was told!
