Chapter 376 -
Fucking curse… why is it making me so fearful of her?
'Girl, that is legit, just you. You are fearful of getting punished,' My inner demon chuckled, and as much as I wanted to burst out at her, I knew she was a bit right.
She's just too hot… But I guess this is a good way to get on her good side. Damn, I wish we could just form a truce or something.
Or maybe the dragon could've beaten her in battle and forced her to help us out.
This is all because of that dragon's laziness. I mean, he could've at least come with me or something.
Breakfast lasted for only about an hour more as the succubus instructed me on my targets, their locations, and how I should assassinate them secretly.
I had a plethora of different assassination skills, which will make this task easy, so increasing her likeness towards me won't be as hard as I thought it would be.
"Alright, I'm heading off," I said as I exited the palace, and I felt the eyes of a few assassins trail me as I made my way into the deep city.
"Bye, bye, little birdy. Don't you dare even try to run away,"
"Yes, ma'am," I sighed.
Unfortunately, it was going to take me a while to actually leave the kingdom since the palace was in the middle of the kingdom, so I decided to check out all the shops.
This place was no different than any other kingdom, which I was honestly a bit surprised by since I thought that demons would have a more savage lifestyle.
But I guess I was wrong since they have nobles, royals, shops, joyful families, restaurants, attractions, and everything else you'd see in a normal monster or human society.
This, of course, included slavery, but the demons did not show any mercy towards other races, so they had many more slaves than any other thing on this plane.
I received tons of stares due to the revealing armor my Mistress gave me, but I just ignored them and scrolled through my status.
So… I can use this, right? But… I'm assuming this collar is going to prevent me from actually harming her or anybody she deems an ally.
"Well, I've been so swamped with work that I guess I could use this time to level up some more. I've been dying to evolve, but I'm just so far away that it seems way too far out of my reach," I muttered before glancing at the tall, dark forest in the distance.
It was an overwhelming and creepy sight as the trees cast dark shadows across the entire kingdom, and it gave the vibe of a vampire's castle or something.
It was like the normal creepy dark forest that a hero would pass through to slay the demon king, but make those trees super fucking big and basically scrape the clouds.
After about half a day, I had finally reached the wall surrounding the entire kingdom, but you might be wondering, why not use your wings?
Well, wings apparently are a banned type of transportation because tons of enemies use their wings, and some soldiers might end up thinking you're one of the enemies and probably shoot you down with arrows.
"Alright, let's do this," I muttered before checking my status once more in order to compare my status now and after.

…
After checking my status, I slowly waltzed deep into the forest while trying to distinguish if the eyes watching me were that of a monster or an assassin.
But, all of a sudden, a few of the eyes watching me disappeared, and a blast of bloodlust almost made me choke on my saliva.
It was so strong that my body instinctually backed away, and as a giant worm came wiggling out of the ground, I inspected it.
[Demonic Worm]
[These monsters normally only hunt at night, but due to the large canopy and dim sun of this environment, they are active twenty-four hours. Their life span normally causes them to do risky things as they are aware that their life will end shortly. Be wary of their saliva because if it even touches your skin, everything will melt away.]
…
The description was a bit threatening, but I calmed myself down and activated my scythe.
The worm was entirely brown but had two very small black beads at the front of its head and two large demonic horns sticking out from the top.
It was the very definition of demonic, and to be honest, this thing might be as strong as the succubus queen I was now the slave of.
The air was dry as it slowly inspected me, its body wriggling from side to side.
Its bloodlust made it feel as if rows of teeth were slowly sinking into my body… well, I guess that was kind of accurate because my face paled as soon as the worm opened its mouth.
I expected just a tiny hole in its mouth, but as it opened up, rows on rows of sharp teeth glared right directly at me.
FWOOSH
I decided to make the first move which was to fly up into the air with my wings and then gain as much momentum for a full head-on attack.
Through these past seconds of staring each other down, I noticed the worm couldn't move from its spot, and to be honest, I thought it was a trap, but I guess I needed to test it out.
SHING
I appeared in front of the worm in an instant, and surprisingly, I reached it with absolutely no trouble, but what was terrible was how my scythe had hit the worm, but it barely sunk into its skin.
"I see," I muttered before bouncing back and swiping off the slime from the blades of my three-pronged scythe.
The worm had not only extremely thick skin but a slippery goo which allowed attacks to practically slide right off of its skin.
So what it sucks at in mobility, it makes up for it in defense… and its attack. Let's see it as well.
Suddenly, the worm closed its mouth and then opened it right away, causing a blast of green ooze to come from its throat and shoot right toward me.
The stench of the slime was horrible, and it made me gag, slipping up my moves as I dodged to the side.
As soon as the slime touched the dirt, the dirt began to sizzle and then completely dissolved into nothing.
"Geez… That's scary," I chuckled.
