After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 300 - 44: On the External Territories of the Demon King
Chapter 300: Chapter 44: On the External Territories of the Demon King
"Just missed it... What an interesting coincidence."
The human woman said this as she sat on the terrace of the Demon King Territory, talking with Wenresa Iluvita beside her. Resting her chin on her hand, she said simply, "If we had run into that Heavenly Holy Knight in Hell, it would have been really bad."
Indeed, just as Raphael needed to use the Rainbow Bridge to leave Heaven, and his power would be weakened when coming from Hell to the main plane... if Yila went to Hell and ran into Raphael, the battleground would be in Hell.
At that time, neither the human woman nor Wenresa could have done anything.
"Coincidence... coincidence..."
Wenresa sighed softly as she scanned the entire Demon King Territory and said, "Perhaps it really was a coincidence, or maybe... it wasn’t such a coincidence, and maybe the Nine Realms are just like a playground, and we’re just part of it."
This kind of cryptic talk made the human woman frown... but, with the character of the Iluvita family, such doubts wouldn’t linger in her heart for long.
"Hey! Ha! Ha! Huha!"
"..."
The human woman and Wenresa sat quietly at the edge of the terrace, their legs dangling in mid-air. Behind them... was Tipcapu, who was relentlessly punching a wooden dummy.
However, it was as if Tipcapu couldn’t see the two of them at all; he just kept beating the wooden dummy... for him, this was indeed the only leisure activity.
In the Demon King Territory, this kind of entertainment was considered quite interesting... perhaps more interesting than this were the seductive maids who, during idle hours, fantasized about Yila. However, that kind of "entertainment" was rather risky.
Wenresa and the human woman ignored Tipcapu. The latter, resting her chin on her hand, gazed at the new fluffy demon worms crawling in the new Blood Pond... a kind of small, bee-like insect, but without wings or mouthparts.
They looked like long, fluffy creatures, surprisingly cute.
These demon worms would eventually turn into large, cat-like creatures, with built-in compartments... taking on future passenger transport duties in the Demon King Territory, much like in Hell.
To the human woman’s surprise, these fluffy demon worms didn’t get their fur wet or sticky while swimming in the Blood Pond, always maintaining their fluffy and cute appearance.
They were really quite adorable.
"Yawn~"
The human woman yawned, sitting idly, and asked the elf beside her, "Wenresa, are you planning to wait here the whole time? The Heavenly Holy Knight will take a long time to get to the main plane, right?"
Their plan was to stay in the Demon King Territory during this time, waiting until Raphael arrived and his attack hit Yila... at that moment, he would be interfering with the main plane.
Inside Yila, she still had the leaf seen in the treasure chest during their previous voyage... power from Wenresa that was enough to protect Yila from a fatal blow.
At that moment, Wenresa and the human woman, along with most others, would have reason to stop Raphael’s actions...
But just waiting like this, wasn’t it a bit too boring?
"What else? What do you plan to do?"
In response to Wenresa’s question, the human woman thought for a moment, pointed at her own seat, and said, "Maybe... go check on our family’s junior. She’s the genius who recreated the Sage’s Stone!"
At the human woman’s words, Wenresa couldn’t help but show a trace of admiration, saying, "Indeed, the lich called Vera who recreated the Sage’s Stone, and the human called Gurela who recreated the All-purpose Potion... the people Yila knows all seem quite interesting."
For someone like Wenresa, an exceptional individual, the term "interesting" was already a high compliment.
"My junior, Vera, might become an exceptional individual too..."
The human woman continued, saying something that would undoubtedly shock ordinary people, adding a qualifying factor: "If the amount of Sage’s Stone increases further and she recreates the miracle of Uroboros... if her power grows stronger, then she’s almost there."
Wenresa glanced at her, saying coolly, "If you want her to become an exceptional individual, you might try revealing your Primordial Technique to your junior... then she would meet the criteria for being an exceptional individual, wouldn’t she?"
"Eh? Can I do that? Wouldn’t that be breaking the rules?"
The human woman raised her eyebrows, asking.
"Of course it would, and I would kill you."
Wenresa said, watching the human woman chuckle coldly, she continued, "Breaking the rules for exceptional individuals... I don’t want to see actors on stage becoming unruly audience members. While it’s interesting to see an actor step out on their own, if they step out with someone else’s help, it’s just too dull."
"..."
*So that’s a definite "no," isn’t it? Saying all those extra words... you really are an old woman.*
The human woman rolled her eyes, silently ranting in her heart. Looking for some amusement, she said, "I understand, and actually, I don’t really want to reveal technique-related knowledge anyhow. I’m quite selfish in that regard~"
That was true. If a person became exceptional through some technique or ability, then that exceptional individual might have a special fondness for their "uniqueness" and "distinctiveness."
Especially since the human woman’s Primordial Technique was unique even among all exceptional individuals... but in the main plane, it wasn’t particularly unique because the Governors’ powers had a similar effect as the human woman’s technique.
But the amount of attention Yila received from exceptional individuals showed that the Governors’ power, or more precisely... Yila’s uniqueness wasn’t just in the spell on his neck.
It was merely a medium for channeling power... replacing the usual mana consumption in spellcasting.
In short, even more interesting than the human woman’s.
"You could try analyzing the spell on Yila’s neck... though I doubt even you could see it..."
Wenresa started to say, then suddenly realized the human woman beside her was gone... until she saw her again slowly flying up from below the city wall.
The human woman’s fingers were sticky with honey, which she licked and sucked as the honey dripped.
"..."
"Where did you go?"
After a moment of silence, Wenresa asked.
"Went to the beehive to steal some honey... it’s so sweet~"
"..."
Feeling annoyed by the human woman’s shamelessness, Wenresa couldn’t help but retort, "I’ve heard it said that an Imperial goes mad if they don’t eat sweets for a week... and now it seems that’s true."
"..."
The human woman finished eating the honey on her fingers, then thought about it and corrected, "It used to be a rumor. As a former Imperial, I need to clarify—it wasn’t a week, it was three days."
Wenresa: "..."
Wenresa: "???"
*So proud, huh?!*
