Pen Demon In Another World - Chapter 3 Cutting Off Ties
King Phillip had a furious face “Astley, you dare assault a woman and steal from a store? Wasn’t the hundred gold I given you enough? I knew you weren’t a good person the moment you were summoned here.”
The guards were holding Astley but strangely he wasn’t rebelling like most, Astley asked “So I’m assuming that the girl I “Assaulted” was Ms. Emma and I am guessing one the other summoned heroes is here wearing Fighters Clothing and Chainmail.”
The King’s face changed and Isaiah who was behind the guards appeared wearing the clothes Astley bought yesterday. At Isaiah’s side was Emma who had a bruise on her face and seemed to be crying. Emma pointed at Astley and said, “Yesterday, we were at a restaurant and he stole bread, I told him it wasn’t right and he hit me and tried to… do bad things with me.”
Asley’s face turned towards the king and said “I have done nothing of the sort, but If you believe what she says. I will leave this place since my services are not needed anyway.”
Astley didn’t care about going back to Earth anymore because using the Divine Condensation Spell he can gain enough Divine Energy to do cross-planetary teleportation with ease. He didn’t even need to worry about this war anymore because he didn’t need the Magic Crystal from the Demon’s Castle.
The King sighed telling the soldiers to let go and said: “I am depriving you of your status as a hero, your permissions are all canceled and the country will learn about your misdeeds.”
Astley looked to the side where Isaiah and Emma were standing, they both were smiling at each other but for one second they looked at Astley with cold eyes.
One of the main abilities of an Angel is the Harbinger of Truth, a spell when cast on someone forces them to tell the truth.
Astley released his Human Form and his full body started showing. Everyone looked at Astley in shock when they saw his eyes turn red and a red halo appear over his head. Then 2 black horns poked out of his head giant black wings appeared on his back.
He looked over at Emma and cast the ability “My Angel Blood compels you, to state the truth and only the truth as the eyes of God watches.”
Emma’s eyes turned the same red as Astley’s and she collapsed on the floor bowing to Astley. Astley first asked, “Emma, did you and Isaiah try to frame me for stealing and assaulting just to steal my gear and money?”
Emma had no expression as she plainly said “Yes master, Isaiah said that you were trash with a pen as a weapon. It was embarrassing to be called the same title as you and he said that it was also terrible that the kingdom even gives him money. He then said that I should join your party and steal your gear and money which would help him grow stronger and save the kingdom. I believe that you getting money is putting the country in jeopardy and I decided that Isaiah having the money is better than you.”
Astley stopped the ability and her face turned back to normal, except this time she was terrified and she wanted to run away but she felt like her legs were jelly. Astley looked at the king and said “I have broken ties with your country, this war has nothing to do with me now. This was your decision due to your prejudice, goodbye.”
Like that Astley used his wings to lift off the ground and fly away.
Everyone else in the room was in shock, the King started rubbing his forehead while maliciously glaring at Isaiah “Everyone gets back to your post, Hero Isaiah and Emma you stay here.”
Once everyone left the room the King went completely insane “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, JUST FOR 100 GOLD YOU CAUSED US TO LOSE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL MAGES I HAVE EVER SEEN. Huff… Since you caused us to lose 1 summoned hero that is incomparably more powerful than you I am cutting your expenses in half for the next 3 months, you will also move to the frontline during those 3 months and you will get real-life war experience. You have to make up for this kingdoms loss.”
The King let them go, but Isaiah had an indignant face “How dare the king shout at me, I have to go to the frontlines? This is my game, I am the main character how can this happen? I will find out how that guy got so much power then I will kill him and show that I am the main character.”
Emma to the side started seeing Isaiah’s true face and regretted betraying Astley “If I didn’t do it would I been able to gain some of the power Astley just showed. Why is my judgment so poor.”
