Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 143

The appearance of an advanced attack helicopter in the middle of the city alerted everyone. Not only within the city but also the whole country.

Because of the internet, or social media to be exact, numerous video proof and pictures spread everywhere.

Due to the lack of information, some thought that it’s just some kind of training and they didn’t fire real rounds. Some of them thought that a terrorist attacked Whitemore City.

It is the Awakened Special Task Force after all.

There are even some who thought that the Apache was actually stolen by someone who had a grudge with Teutonic Knights guild and wanted to destroy them completely.

Well, because they couldn’t see who’s being targeted, they can only make a guess and make it sound real.

‘Well, luckily, there’s not a single news about any casualties.’ Cyril sighed in relief after noticing this.

Though he didn’t mind killing criminals that would just destroy the future of their country, killing these people is very different.

They are there to protect the people of this nation after all.

‘Hmm?’

As Cyril was waiting for the train, he noticed that there are several train station guards looking around the platform.

They are carrying a piece of paper with them where a picture of the middle-aged man he previously transformed into and Magenta’s figure can be seen!

‘What? Isn’t this too quick? Only 10 minutes had passed.’

Cyril was speechless with the incredible coordination of the ASTF and the local authorities. He didn’t know that the mayor of the city is already made his move and alerted everyone to carefully inspect the people who are leaving the city.

Unfortunately, because of the complicated, the mayor couldn’t issue a lockdown at all. At the very least, he could command the authorities to conduct an inspection.

‘Well, they probably realized that they lost an Artifact and a High-Class Entrance Crystal by now. Normally, they would use some kind of Crystal Hunter to track that down. But now that it’s inside my storage space, I shouldn’t be worried.’

Cyril calmly thought. He has already changed his clothes as well so he’s very confident. Aside from that, the Elven Boots he used to escape at the last moment were also stored inside his space.

Cyril wasn’t sure whether they could recognize the magic of the boots after all.

After he left the scene, there might be some traces of him activating the power of the runes placed in those boots.

The young man took a deep breath as he calmed his mind. He doesn’t want to appear suspicious.

Luckily, the guards only passed by him after seeing his youthful and handsome face. They may not even think that he’s Awakened yet since he looks young.

Finally, the train arrived in time as he boarded like everyone else. He could finally sit calmly.

“It’s impressive that you survived that… Well, you lost two Artifacts though. Your previous self would surely not going to let that happen. Kekeke.”

Xagan suddenly appeared and made fun of him. His Smoke Ring was overloaded a while ago and was disintegrated by his Aura. As for the Giant Wraith Sword, it was also shattered into many pieces.

‘Hmph, I’m not planning on using wraith swords in public anyway. I will only use the Centaur’s Long Sword.’ Cyril replied using their mysterious connection.

The train is crowded with people so he can’t speak with Xagan normally.

“Oh… That’s a good decision I guess. Very well, how are you planning to deal with the Demon World you have?” Xagan asked curiously.

Cyril couldn’t help but smile seeing how this Demon is starting to ask questions. Of course, Cyril didn’t mind that. Perhaps, he would hear some good response from the demon later.

‘Hmm… If they really followed my instruction, I’m sure that I can take them out. However, I’m not sure about the conditions that I have to fulfill. Even Selma said it would depend on the demon and the Artifact they chose to be sealed into.’

“Oh, so you’re planning to forget about your promise then?”

‘Hmph! No way. I’ll at least do my best to help two or three Demon Race. After all, I will still have to spend my life for you to help me subdue them.’

“Kekeke… Interesting. So after you died here, there would be tons of us demons who will be working to destroy this world. That’s fine by me, Contractor. Keep up the good work.” Xagan laughed after hearing him.

As a higher demon, he would surely have the lower demons in his control as soon as Cyril’s time was over.

‘I won’t die that easily… Aren’t you afraid that I’ll find the Fruit of Life? I heard that a single fruit can help me extend my life for a hundred years. It’s rumored that they can even be eaten repeatedly. Hmph… I will be the one laughing in the end, remember that.’

“Kukuku… It is said that it’s inside the Sacred Ground of the Dragons, right? There are probably real Dragons guarding that place. If you ask me to defeat a Dragon, I won’t be able to assist you with your remaining life, you know?”

Xagan answered truthfully.

Well, Cyril already expected something like that so he never bothered asking Xagan about the price for defeating Dragons.

‘It doesn’t matter. That’s the reason why I’m planning to gather resources in the first place. I’m also trying to make a team. Don’t get too excited Xagan.’ Cyril answered not being bothered with the demon’s attempt to agitate him.

Several hours had passed and Cyril finally managed to return home. The sky was already dark and Bonnie had just finished eating her dinner.

After eating his fill, Cyril rested for the night without bothering to take a look at his new Magic Crystal and Entrance Crystal. He would take a look at it tomorrow.

As for Magenta, who has been stealthily following Cyril, she continued her guarding duty to ensure that her Master would sleep well.

On the next day, Cyril continued with his plans, and this time, he was no longer bothered by some random things.

Thanks to this, a month peacefully passed in a blink of an eye…
