CHAPTER 31
Luke looked at the people who had followed him. He looked at them and asked, "Why are you following me?"
The four of them released their weapons and said, "How dare you kill our teacher?"
Luke was about to kill them when the one at the front said, "I am the son of the earl. You cannot kill me."
Luke simply killed the four of them and walked away. He kept reading the documents he had on the way and found that none of them were of the right type. He was really sad that there were no good ones. He took the book given by the Lucifer and read it. He found that there were many things written in it. He looked at the section of the demons as there were many contract demons that would work under exchange of resources for a period of time. He looked at the book and found that some would exchange blood while others would exchange the souls of mortals. They were really demons and devils. He found that the energy condensed using soul energy could be exchanged instead of the souls. He kept reading it and found some people who were best in warfare and killing. Most of the demons had lived a long time and they had learnt many things. He kept searching for the names and found one person who was strong skilled enough. Demon Arborol was the first choice he had and he decided to select him.
Luke went to the private house he had and went under the house. He opened the door and went down and activated the isolation magic. He activated the magical circle and called the demon. The demon came from the magic circle Arborol looked at him. He looked at Luke and said, "Humble mortal. Give me hundred more soul crystals and I shall make you the king of the world."
Luke looked at him and said, "You are indeed the kingmaker." Luke released the aura of the angel and looked at him. The demon stood on the ground with humility and said, "Sorry sir. I did not know it was an angel who summoned me. What do you want sir?"
Luke looked at him and said, "I am the heir to the dukedom here and is the only heir. I tried to search from some subordinates, but most of them are useless. I don't plan to waste time in training them. That is where you come in."
Arborol looked at him and asked, "So you don't want to conquer the world using pure strength."
Luke looked at him and said, "I want you to manage the territory, manage the subordinate houses, manage the generals, train the army. I want to play with the world in the proper manner. You can summon your subordinates. I will give you ten such soul crystals every month and you can divide among your subordinates. If you fail, I will give you a bad review."
Arborol bowed to him and said, "I am willing to follow you my lord"
Luke looked at him and formed a one-sided contract magic. He was not a fool to bind anything to his soul. He looked at Arborol and said, "You and your subordinates cannot say to be a demon to others and should always maintain the image of humans and some foolish instincts such eating humans should not be performed. The present job I am going to give you is to form an army and let them be trained in the manner of the Roman soldiers. I want all of them to be disciplines ones who are able to fight against the knights. In the upcoming war, I want to play the job of commander and every one of the soldiers should listen to my order. Your job is to arrange it."
Arborol stood up and said, "Sure my lord. What is your name my lord?"
Luke looked at him and said, "You can call me Luke. As for my origin name, I am not going to say it to you. Go and look at the situation and find how many gold coins are needed to train an army of hundred thousand. Select them from the beggars and the jobless. Initially I was thinking about forming an army of ten thousand by selecting a general from this world but there is no one who is talented and the talented are not interest in working for me."
Arborol said, "We can get the resources from other worlds my lord. There are many demons in inter-world transportation business and the soul energy crystal is a very rare item."
Luke looked at him and said, "I know that the soul energy crystal is rare. You can get the soul energy crystal from me for the money needed for exchange. I have order ten thousand sets of dress for the soldiers from a shop and you can get the information from my butler. Take care of this matter. This token will allow you to collect the soldiers. Feed them and make them strong. I want everyone of them to be ready to give their lives for me."
Arborol bowed and said, "I will have it done."
Luke returned to his house and explained to his parents about the academy and Arborol. As he was the heir, he had all the rights to do what was necessary. Luke just enjoyed his life that was necessary to live. He kept living his life learning more things and training in more things.
Luke looked at the battleship he had built that was able to fight against the different terrains and had all the system login built into it and had many robots and fighter machines controlled by AI. He decided to keep it as the sequence 1 battleship and named it SB-1. He kept feeding the energy to the industry he had created that would keep creating the battleships. He liked mass productions as more items were the better options.
Luke looked at the message that had come from Arborol. He flew to the air and went to the barracks that were made outside. He looked at the barracks and landed next to Arborol. Arborol bowed to me and so did the other demons. I looked at them and asked them to show off the training result.
Luke looked at the people soldiers that were arranged. He looked at the people and smiled and said to Arborol, "Begin." The well coordinated moves and the uniform attacks were much higher than the ones he had seen in his previous life. It seems that the people here have the method of fighting and training. Luke was happy with it and their dresses were made black in colour. He looked at them and smiled and made them be happy.
Luke was happy with the army and gave a few soul energy crystal to others. He looked at them and returned and decided to become stronger. There are many methods to become stronger and he decided to fuse the law of abyss and the law of time he had seen. He broke through level 3 in the core energy methods and the various laws were fused and his body had the effect of all the laws. He smiled and understood the truth of the law that everything that can be a law.
Luke had returned to house and was happy to find out that the tea was arranged. It was time to bring all the people under me. He sent a message to Arborol and told him to get all the lords and forces under his territory to submit to him. He returned to his castle and went to his father and asked for the position of the duke to be transferred to him. The duke was surprised to find that his son wanted to take on the position of the duke. He looked at Luke and asked, "Why do you want it? You will be allowed to take the position after ten years. You can go back now."
Luke looked at him and said, "The war is going to come. I have an army and there will be a need to participate in the army. You cannot fight as I am stronger than you. No one under the house will be interested in listening to me as they are lords themselves while I will be just a heir to the lord. I need the position. This is one of the biggest crises. After every war, the world will keep changing and the nobles will fall and rise."
The duke looked at him and said, "We have our own methods to fight and there is something that needs to be done. We have connections to keep the war under control. We have three dragon riders under our control and we have friendship with the saint."
Luke looked at him and said, "I need more credit so that the lords under me will work properly later. There will be no other chance like this later."
The duke said, "That is foolishness."
Luke released his pressure and created a seven-ring magic circle that only the sages could make and said, "I have stepped into the sage realm."
The duke thought for some time before he said, "I will arrange for the day of your succession."
The saint was the strongest ones in the world. There are many methods to rise to the top. The saints could destroy a city with a single shot and they were the strongest. There is two level different between archmage and sage that was the mage king who is able to use the power of the elements.
The biggest thing that needs to be accepted as a sage is a seven-ring magic circle as each magic circle meant the addition of an element to the spell. There are many conceptual attributes like tracking, destruction etc.
Luke returned back to his home. He just had to come and wait for the war to start. He waited for some time and waited for the news to come. He had got the news in the coming days that many of the nobles had paid for him. There are many methods to become the lord and he used the way of power. Luke was wearing the new kind of dresses that were the best from other worlds.
The dress was made from the heart tendons of the dragon kings' skin that was solidified and that was smoother than silk. The whole dress had different laws attached to them and showed off the aura of the over lord and the king. There are many methods to make them but the weakest dragon king was strong enough to destroy a planet as big as earth. He had two demon men accompanying him who had good record in being a butler. They were strong in management and making sure that the higher demon's or angel's dignity is shown off. They were named Mark and Rob. They were strong ones and they were proper working type.
Luke looked at them and nodded. They were wearing dresses made from the netherworld bats who had the effect of hiding and blending into shadows. They were the ones to fight and hide and protect their masters. There were many who were talented and skilled but could not go to the higher state due to lack of resources or lack of the power of the soul. They usually worked alongside the higher beings hoping to be favoured once and if not, they could still earn for their jobs.
Luke walked and entered the throne room and walked to the throne where his father was sitting with a crown. It seems that dukes were like independent kings, even though they were the parts of the kingdom. Luke had said that he wanted to use his own crown as he had become the sage. He smiled and sat on the thrones and the duke put the new crown of the duke on his head. All the nobles came and said their oath of loyalty to him.
Luke smiled and was happy to him. The party was good and all the nobles were happy with him. He was not interested in talking too much to them. He had taken over the dukedom and had completely filled the demons. They would not dare to betray an angel.
