279 Oppression & Overthinking

'Just why… Why do I have to get oppressed this much! Not only was I forced on this bullshit processor position, but I have to keep up with this shitty boss who neither has brains nor brawns, he only got the Overseer position thanks to his pure high blood which allowed his dark mastery to reach greater heights, while I had to struggle and climb up from a normal human to my current level of ability yet still get treated like this… this… this is simply unfair!'

"No sir, I won't shut up, this decides the safety of the whole base, just because you were born from a high blood doesn't mean that you can just shut me up like this!"

The buff demon who has suffered so much as of late protested, he had simply went through this much trouble just so that they would succeed as he was also promised a special 'Baptism' that would finally spare him the discrimination, becoming a true demon blood with a chance to get spared from his current annoying position that put him under this stupid Overseer's command.

'If I knew that was how it was going to play out, I would have chosen to keep my humanity… but back then I was too… gah! Let's just forget it, it's too late to burn the bridge now, I must make it work out somehow…'

"Oh, do I need to use my 'Authority' to make you shut up then?" the slim demon said with a grin on his face as he put his hands in his pockets…

'Gah… not this again!'

The buff demon froze in his place as he started to feel his body get heavier and heavier, he knew that this would happen, but what else could he do? If that human was to use the 'Outer Key' and get out of here, that would also allow them a path outside, but…

'If he is smart and calculative enough to resist the ancient bewitching mark… he might act fast and alert the human sects… which means that we would have to rework our plans…'

"Just lis… ten…" the buff demon tried his best to resist but…

"Shut up!" the slim demon stayed stubborn as he paid no heed, he wasn't really that interested in this shabby suspicion theorist that just did whatever to lick the feet of the higher ups as a filthy converted seed, while he didn't show him proper respect on the other hand and instead scorned him for being a good for nothing who relied on his higher backing and purer blood that the inferior hafling always complained that it was 'Wasted' on him…

'Since you were unlucky enough to fall under my hands, I will show you hell! Just you wait and see as I claim all the rewards for this mission alone. Hehehe…'

However, while the grin on the slim demon's face got wider and wider, a certain sound that seemed to have came from the void suddenly reached the ears of all the demons on the scene…

"Huh? Did I think too much about it…?"

`~~`~~`~~`

Crushing the black crystal booked me another ride on the very stable space choo choo train, as I readied myself for what scene I could possibly arrive to…

'if the Overseer of this base is half as calculative as  the last Overseer…'

Giving it a good thought, if that was true, then it wouldn't be too hard for him to deduct that one of those who entered with missing, and even though he might just think that I would run away to get outside reinforcements to help me against them as no normal human would choose to fight a whole base alone, considering that I already know the crystals' functions just like I broke their possessing process somehow, he would at least prepare for the 1 in 10 chance that I was actually either foolish or strong enough to think about attacking the base alone…

That's why I need to be ready…'

Thinking about that, I took out my dual crossbows and attached them to both hand as I took  out my sword and changed it into halberd form for long range with proper destructive power. I was literally going to attack whoever came to me first and start the breaking out massacre in case I was surrounded by the prepared demons…

'This time should be much easier anyway…'

Not only were my stats much better than last time, but my elemental attributes at this point could be considered quite versatile as well, as long as I didn't get surrounded or overcrowded by demons then I had total confidence of surviving this, especially with the help of 'Unbound Vitality'.

However, as I was finally able to see a part of the space that I was heading to…

"Huh? Did I think too much about it…?"

Not only did I not spot any preparations of some sort, but I also could see that two of the demons with the biggest prescences were actually confronting each other while the crowd of what seemed to be a group of demon guards were only standing there and watching them fight instead of having any sign of worry or increased concentration on their faces…

'Did they really not think about the possibility of my surprise entrance?'

I did only take a few minutes before directly hopping in as to make sure that their preparations wouldn't be that completed so I could gain the initiative, but…

'Is the Overseer a moron? Or does he have limited intelligence…?'

It was hard for me to understand the current scene after experiencing the acts of the last Overseer who saw through almost everything I did, almost gaining an advantage over me if not for my discovery about the possibility of creating the elemental combustion bombs, but this was just…

'Is it the brawny guy? Is he a no brains yet full of brawns Overseer type? Not that it really matters anyway…'

I didn't give it much thought as I already pointed my crossbow at my first target...
