Chapter 253: Learning about the Key and tricking the Demons.
Looking at how the two groups were acting, the Guard Captain felt something was off. Still, he didn't mind it and looked toward Yasenia with a smile. Even if the previous time was somewhat terrifying, getting visited again by the big beauty was a pleasant surprise. "Welcome back. I've already finished with them, so you can sit wherever you like."
Yasenia looked at the Demons mockingly and said, "I prefer if they go out of the room first. I do not want to be less than five meters from individuals hunting me down. I can already imagine them trying to kidnap one of us the moment we are close."
One of the demons sneered, "At least you know how to be scared when powerful people don't surround you. You have been too arrogant, making many of our kind die on the outside of the town. Do you think that we will forgive you for causing so many deaths!? Like any other creature, you should have surrendered to us, and maybe we would treat you better, future breeder!"
Angel, Sarah, and Kali frowned, but they didn't say anything. Angel's and Kali's gazes were particularly cold as they looked at them.
Yasenia looked at him with a smile, "I hear resentment in those words~. Was your sister between the Demons I killed? Maybe your brother? Or the woman you loved? Hahaha, it is a shame that they are already dead!"
The demon became angry and was about to charge toward Yasenia when his companion stopped him. "Do not attack here. If you kill anybody, you will die."
Yasenia smirked, "To think that you could see through such a scheme... I will have to reevaluate the demons' intelligence from the human baby level to the human children level."
However, even if the first one to speak had his face twisted with anger and his fist tightly clenched, none of them answered.
Yasenia wasn't expecting anything, either. She was doing so because she wanted to mess with the demons.
A female Demon with purplish wings said with a lustful expression and licking her lips, "Leaving aside your poisonous tongue. Now that I've seen you, I can understand why our monarchs want to obtain you. I really want to have a taste of you~. After we capture you, I will be sure to take my time with you~."
Yasenia sneered, "Having a taste of me? My flavor may be too strong for you, demon. I fear that the moment you get a taste of me, your brain will melt, and you will become retarded."
The demoness's smile widened, and she asked, "How about we test it~? I really want to corroborate whether that statement is true or not. We can take our time in a nearby inn~."
Yasenia turned around without answering and left the entrance free for them to exit the room. "Scram, I have things to ask the Guard Captain."
The first demon laughed and said, "How about we also hear what you want to ask? We don't have any haste, after all."
"I will be waiting for the room to clear out, Guard Captain." Said Yasenia as she went outside with the other three.
The Guard Captain saw Yasenia leaving, so he frowned and said, "All of you, leave. If you don't, I will never answer any other questions you have. Moreover, I will tell the order the townspeople to not sell you anything."
"Huh? A mortal trying to threaten us? Do you think we are afraid of you!?" Said the rash demon. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
The female demon grabbed his horn and dragged him outside. "Let's go. Do you think we can hinder her by staying here? She will just go do Monoliths as we lose time here. Then, she just has to check from time to time until we leave. Moreover, the person that just threatened you is the Guard Captain. He should have a lot of authority in this place, so don't be rash and move your ass out of the room!"
Yasenia praised from the outside, "What a clever girl you are. If you know all of that, can you be a little faster and leave already?"
The demoness exited the room while laughing, "Are you starting to like me? I will always be free for you, Yasenia~." Yasenia didn't even bother to answer as she saw all of them exit the room.
But would Yasenia let them leave just like that? Of course not. While Yasenia was speaking with them, Kali had stealthily used a colorless, tasteless, and odorless substance at the office door entrance. So now, as they walked through it, they were inhaling and getting smeared in it.
The demoness felt something wrong, so she frowned. Yasenia spoke at that moment, distracting her. "Demoness, if you really want to have a "match" of that, I will be waiting for you in the Forlorn Inn, two streets away from here. Two days later, I will prove to you that my taste is too strong for a Demon."
The demoness was surprised as she looked at Yasenia's seductive smile. She also smiled and said, "I hope you keep your word~. I will be there without fault, beautiful Yasenia."
Then, the demons passed across the door normally and didn't realize that they had breathed something that would get them in big trouble.
Yasenia said after the Monolith, "This one is good for points since we can just overpower the guards and kill the Emperor, but if we want to enter the armory, we will have to choose another monolith."
Angel pouted, "I was so close to passing it perfectly, but they closed the city, and I couldn't escape without blasting the doors open...."
Kali sighed, "My fox traits went against me this time, someone spotted my tail, and then it all went downhill. I had to poison him to death using thorns and escape using my summons to gain me enough time to escape.
Sarah said, "I was discovered by the royal guard in the main room. I was able to fight them off and kill the Emperor. Escaping also wasn't difficult."
Yasenia nodded, "Let's go to the next one."
Angel grabbed her hand and asked, "Where did you fail, Yasenia?"
Yasenia laughed, "I wasn't agile enough to avoid the vigilance of the archers at the top of the castle. They discovered me quite easily because I forgot that my tail glows slightly in the dark. A silly mistake."
Angel also chuckled, "You are so silly, hahaha."
Yasenia tickled her and said, "Hm~, is my baby making fun of me~?"
Angel burst into laughter and begged for forgiveness.
Shortly after, they reached the next Monolith. It was even taller than the previous one.
Sarah asked, "Are we going to a bigger monolith each time?"
Yasenia nodded, "These are the five biggest ones here. This one has a reward of 3,000 Trial Points. The next has a reward of 3,750, the next of 5 000, and the tallest Monolith gives tons of points, 100,000 Trial Points. However, I don't want us to challenge the biggest Monolith directly. "
Yasenia looked at her and said, "I wanted to go slowly up to guess its difficulty. Imagine entering the 100,000 Point one, and it results to be a death trap. To reward so many points, there must be something fishy about it."
Kali said, "Although difficult, these last two monoliths had a very low danger factor for the moment. If it continues like this, depending on its contents, we should be able to challenge it."
Sarah nodded, "I wonder what the 100,000 monolith is about."
Angel answered, "We don't know. We just got information about their places and the number of points they give. We wanted to read the stele directly rather than asking for it."
Yasenia chuckled, "Not so fast, dears. First, we go to this one!"
They reached the 3,000 Trial Point monolith, a thirty meters tall structure. Yasenia didn't lose time and read the challenge. "The mines are infested with unknown creatures, enter the nest and eliminate every single one of them."
Yasenia hummed with interest. "Since we are in underground mines, I suppose it will be dangerous... Be careful with diggers, creatures with camouflage, and attacks that can make the mines collapse."
The other three nodded, and Yasenia read the condition to make it flawless, "Do not collapse the mines."
Yasenia smirked and said, "Well, all the more reason to avoid collapsing them."
They didn't fumble around anymore and entered the Monolith.
Their bodies were transported to another location instantly.
Yasenia opened her eyes before the mine entrance. It was honestly bigger than what she imagined it to be. Its height was at least seven meters, and its width was ten meters. Yasenia looked around and saw no vegetation. She was in the middle of a rocky landscape. Moreover, there wasn't a single soul in the surroundings.
