Chapter 273 Vile Creature

"Stupid god! Why are you here?!" Bellazibub roared at me, leaning down to get in my face. Thankfully, she was just an image, or I would have had to smell hot ape breath. Her own breath and kiss were like kissing a dragon right before she was about to breathe fire. Saved a village one time with that trick!

"Vacation...designed to ruin your day, though more than likely it will be you trying to ruin mine," I pointed out. "I know about these things; you can't just show up and take over a village like this without someone poking their head in or something."

The demon ape snorted but didn't say anything else as she looked around her at the other barrier spell circle orbiting around us that was starting to spin faster now from me pulling magic from the area into myself. If Bellazibub wasn't there physically, then that meant her connection was through some kind of link with Grimora. It was one of many ways for a Demoness to control other Demons, but it would be more difficult since I didn't have access to the link between them.

"Maybe you should get lost; this is my vacation time, after all," Bellazibub taunted me before standing up straight again.

"This village is under my protection now, and that means you are going to leave!" I said firmly as the magic began swirling around me even faster before suddenly releasing in a torrent at once!

"I am not going anywhere while there are still people left alive here!" The demon ape roared in defiance, drawing power into herself, which quickly created two large orange orbs of fire near her shoulders on either side of her form as she glared down at me defiantly!

In response, I summoned two orbs of water and dosed the fire orbs, and Grimora, who was frozen, thinking I could get Bellazibub. The fire orbs were extinguished instantly, and it seemed like something was happening to Grimora as she was frozen stiff, but nothing happened.

"What is going on?! Why won't you die?!" The demon ape huffed in exasperation.

"Well, this village was already under my protection," I said plainly while shaking the water off of my hands again, causing steam to rise up around me before suddenly vanishing into thin air!

"W-What?!" Bellazibub exclaimed in a shocked tone while looking at me with wide eyes; her demonic shape started flickering now before disappearing entirely along with the glowing field around us that she created. The barrier spell that was around us both before had also gone, but I knew that everyone else was safe since it only allowed me to come through and no one else.

"I have a group of people here trying to help this village out, and they are going to get more when this is taken care of later," I explained while looking at the old woman with grim eyes now. "The fact you were able to control these poor innocent people for so long without anyone figuring it out speaks volumes about your intelligence."

The hag gritted her teeth together angrily as she started shaking, and I dispelled the rest of the spell she had placed up as I walked forward.

"Start taking the spell apart," I called back to the girls, and I could feel Elfinia and Claire start using their new magic right on cue.

I kept focused on the hag in front of me, but suddenly she burst into pink smoke, and an extremely beautiful, short, and pink-skinned demoness appeared before me wearing the same clothes as before but without anything covering her face.

"Are you going to kill me now?" Grimora asked, but I scooped her up off the ground and into my arms.

"Nah, I have better plans than that, but first, we need to make sure that crazy bitch doesn't try to take over your body again, or I might have to," I explained, but Grimora just looked at me in shock.

"You are not going to kill me? You are a god, and I am just a demon," Grimora said, almost falteringly, as she looked into my eyes. "Why would you let me live?"

"Firstly, you are cute. Next, doesn't matter as much, but I know that you were being controlled, and not all demons are bad; some are just forced to be, but all races can be the same way. Your race just happens to have more bad apples than good ones. Lastly, I want information about what is going on in the Underworld. Did I mention you were cute?" I asked with a smile, but that just seemed to make her shake her head in disbelief.

"Y-You don't have to kill me?" Grimora asked with a trembling voice as she looked up at me, and I shook my head again no. "I-I will do anything you want!"

"Oh, don't go saying things like that, or I will make you take your clothes off and make you do some really weird shit," I laughed, but Grimora looked up at me with serious eyes.

"I mean what I said," Grimora insisted while looking directly into my eyes, and I could see the determination in them.

"Really? Well, we do need to give you a Slave Crest to break the hold the Demon Queen has on you. So, if you like to get creative, I have some fun ideas on how we can make it work, okay?" I asked, and Grimora nodded her head like an excited puppy, even putting her hands up in front of herself to hang like paws, striking at something inside of me to light the fires of excitement. This demoness looked like she was into some freaky stuff, but most Demonesses were.

"I would enjoy anything you have to show me," Grimora said excitedly, looking up at me with flirtatious eyes. "So what are we waiting for?"

"Right!" I laughed, turning around to find all my girls staring at me with crossed arms.
