Chapter 119: Arrival Of Demons

Perseus POV

Currently, I'm in a resting tent assigned to me and my group, I called my parents that I'll be here for a while and they understood. Weird of them, mission with life on the line, yes, pet, no, just what is wrong with these people?

The tent got beds and a small fridge and everything, it's awesome.

Anyway, I'm recovering from some of my injuries since Rowan's attacks slowed down my healing process, I'd still feel sore after everything is healed.

"Damn it, I can't I lost to that prat."

"Don't you mean a brat?" Ruka asked "Besides, he's much stronger than you, you won't stand a chance unless we team up"

"No, prat, it's slang, anyway, so Reiner will fight it in 2 days time with a legion of support mage to back him up, right?"

"Yes, did you not listen to our conversation?"

"I did, but I'm bringing it up to inform our readers instead of just narrating the whole boring that was spoken with weird fancy words and phrases, so I simplified the whole thing."

"Too much simplification, there's the tactics and rotation involve, well..."

She then went on to repeat the whole damn thing, and yes, I'm using my narration to not make you listen to all the boring detail shit that you're going to forget anyway since the recent plot and this whole thing is relevant because of Buddy. I plan on using him to see just the extend of his powers.

I read the diary and it seems that he will need a little help since it's super durable, but either way, I need to gauge his abilities, this world is going to be harder and harder to solve with a lot of problems, if I want to fight the demon lord, the generals are going to be a hard thing to deal with.

They are of the 10 star caliber, and experienced one at that, and that's not including their subordinates, a 9 star of theirs are much more stronger and train a lot compared to the arrogant ones I've met so far. Besides, it's only officially known that there are less that less of 10 star mages at the present, but I'm more than certain that a lot are hiding in the shadows.

With the assumptions of the 3 around me offsetting three 10 star mage, I need a test to gauge Buddy first and this is the perfect time. But I then heard a ruckus from the resting tent.

I went out and I can sense something, demons and lots of it. A guy then ran up to me and told me what happened, apparently the demons are here to reclaim the property of their so called majestic king.

I don't know how they're here without alerting anyone, but it seems like this continent will need to up their security cuz they got in pretty easily, and it's a large group at that. Well this just got annoying, and as the 3rd party here, I'm supposed to help calm this whole thing down, I head to where the clash is happening.

And in front of the 2 group, Reiner and Lilith...fun, I guess?

"Settle down you 2."

"Ah Perseus, I was wondering where you were. To think an event brought us together earlier than we thought." Lilith said

That attitude sort of scares me, her vocab usage is similar to me, but I guess this is the general act, why is she here, though? I'm definitely being watched by the summer god, won't he recognize her?

"You know her?!" Reiner demanded

"Can I tell him?"

"Go ahead, I'll just get another disguise later." Lilith replied

"Lilith dusk, demon general."

"Straight to the point, I like this."

There are then screams and shouts from the human side out of fear while there were cheers from the demons behind her banging on their armor or shield after her short introduction, they're either suck ups or it's their tradition, I can't tell.

I live in a village of dancers, I once thought this guy was having his own variation of the dance or something and doing it in the public square, but nope, turns out, he was just an idiot and was mocking it, so my grandmother caught him and taught him in prison for violating her so called sacred code.

"Seriously, you know this bitch?!" Rowan asked this time

"I'm honestly more surprised that you don't, you dumb bozo."

She's your sister, goddammit, if there's anyone who shouldn't know, it's me.

"Oh, he proposed to me, and I accepted." Lilith then laughs in this cheeky manner as both the demon side and human side look at us with horror

"Alright, before this goes any further, I'm doing the ordering and pushing around. Reiner get some people to arrange a large resting tent for the guests and one other tent for negotiation, I'll stay here and keep watch trying to stop an immediate war.

"Demons, you stand still and stop trying to heckle, try not to instigate or even say a word even until I say you can, if you do, I'll fucking strangle you...chop chop people, I ain't got time all day, I got a jealous girl to console and a cute fox to play with, GO!"

*****

"What's with the fox?" Lilith, Rowan, and Reiner asked at the same time

"Oh this ordinary looking guy, found him in the forest near my tree, gave him some treats and he's been attached to me ever since. Cute, ain't he?"

"There's no such thing as ordinary if it came from there." Reiner sighs and turn to Lilith who said across from him "So what do you want?"

"The treasures that was originally ours, you people abandoned him and erased his legacy, so why would you want to steal his possessions now? Your people betrayed his trust, and even in his stpries, you left put so many things, his contribution, his involvement in diplomacy...all his other betrayal, and now all of a sudden, the treasures are yours? Pathetic." Lilith clicked her tongue in disgust

There's more betrayal? That guy just can't catch a break, wife cheated on him, daughter married his best friend, and his first love committed suicide, having all his achievements snubbed...dang...and there's more?
