Reincarnated with an Analysis system. - Chapter 107 A Night's Mission

“Scavengers?” Benihime questioned as she hauled down her sword.

“Yes, but I’m not quite sure, I was just on my way to check it out.” Lilith replied.

“I see.” Benihime looked at the tent to confirm if the remaining soldiers were still asleep.

“Let’s check it out,” Benihime said as she followed behind Lilith.

They both skunked to the right side of the tents before they halted after spotting a bunch of people at the edge of the water.

“Are those…demons?” Benihime whispered as she observed.

“Lord Jira, I’m sorry, I swear it wasn’t me.” A demon cried, two other demons were pulling him to the edge of the water before he dropped him to his knees.

Since they were demons, they had small tiny crystals in the middle of their forehead, a normal trait for low-level demons.

Demon lords looked more human with no future other than their mythic eyes, same went for Demon kings and supreme Demons.

Standing a bit far away from the demon, was Jira, wearing his usual royal outfit but this time he was holding a sword in his hands.

He held the sword out as he strolled toward the sobbing demon, “You tried to frame me.” Jira spoke.

“N..No no no sire, it wasn’t me I swear… I didn’t do it!” The demon cried even louder, as he struggled to free himself from the clutches of the huge demon soldiers holding him down.

Sigh! “What a meddlesome demon you are.” Jiro muttered, he halted as looked to the sky, “Do you realize how your actions have hindered my future plans?!”.

“You had one job. Kill his sister and leave a letter there, but you ended up running away with her… for what?! Love?!” Jiro shouted before using his sword to slice the eyes of the demon.

“Ahhhh!” The demon wailed in pain with his head facing the ground as blood dripped from his damaged eyes.

Benihime gripped the handle of her sword as she watched, looking at Jira she could tell he might be in trouble, so she was ready to attack if need be.

Jira walked toward the man and bent before using his finger to lift the Demon’s face up, “So tell me, where did you take the little maiden to?”.

The demon looked to the side, feeling reluctant to answer the question.

“Ahhh, Runoq, you are really pushing me to the edge you know… I don’t want to kill you, but you are very well pushing your luck at this point”.

“This… love of yours is the key for me to raise the ranks of the demons. Do you not understand that this is important?” Jira sighed, “Look, just tell me where she is and I promise to let you go, hmmm?”.

Pant!

“I’m sorry Sire, but I can’t tell…”

“Don’t fuck with me!” Jira immediately punched Runoq in the face and his body went crashing to the ground.

“Looks like I need to remind you who I am!” Jira raged as he stormed over to Runoq’s body before he grabbed him by the neck.

Jira positioned his hand at the back of Runoq’s neck before he pulled him close.

Without any warning, a hot red fiery beam left Jira’s eyes and directly scorched Runoq’s chest.

Runoq screamed in pain but there was nothing he could do, the pain was so agonizing that no other thought occurred to him.

“Where is she?!…. Where is she?!” Jira asked aggressively as he kept gushing his laser into Runoq’s chest.

“Witches! The forest of witches!” Runoq shouted his reply with tears dropping from his eyes.

“Good boy.” Jira rescinded the laser and dropped Runoq’s body to the ground before he stood up.

With a chuckle, he straightened his top and looked to his soldiers, “Well don’t just stand there… toss his body into the water!”.

“R-Right away sire.” The three soldiers said in unison before they carried the body of Runoq and began moving him into the water.

With that taken care of, Jira sat down on top of a broken boat and observed the way his soldiers were going deep inside the water.

“The forest of witches? Why do I get the feeling I’ve heard of that place before?” Jiro muttered, he let out another sigh before he voiced out, “How long do you plan to spy on me?”.

Benihime and Lilith looked at one another as they wondered if he could be talking to them since they were both in hiding.

But just for the brief moment that they looked away, Jira suddenly appeared in front of them with no sound from him at all.

“Who are you?” He asked, looking down at them with his eyes glowing red.

Frightened, Lilith fell to the ground with a small squeak leaving her mouth, meanwhile, Benihime stood her ground as she stared Jira in the eyes.

“Forgive me my rudeness, my name is Rougard Benihime, the commander of the sacred knights, it is an honor to meet you.” Benihime introduced herself, with her head slightly bowed before she continued.

“During my eavesdropping, am I right to assume that you are a noble?” She asked.

A smile hit Jira’s as he extended his hand to Lilith, “You have quite the good ears, yes, I am Jira, the first son of the Demon King of stagio Greed, Venkman”.

With one pull, he jerked Lilith from the ground and straight to her feet before he kissed her hand with a smile.

Lilith was instantly flustered, she pulled her hand away and hid behind Benihime.

“So you’re a prince?” Benihime raised a question, the fact that his father was a Demon King made her worry even more.

Over the centuries, Demon kings have been known to be ruthless, snatching sovereign lands for themselves and the likes.

And thanks to the demon ranking ritual, they had more excuses to do more horrendous things all for the sake of power.

Among the demon ranking rituals was how to start from the lowest level of demon power, the demon lord.
