Chapter 87: Evil Lurks On The Streets

The streets of Aquinas were filled with demons as they fought against the few soldiers that were still alive. The soldiers were being pushed back relentlessly by the demons and a lot of soldiers have already died because they were not able to keep up with the tactics that the demons were using.

The civilians in the city had all been taken to the bunker for them to hide, but the soldiers didn't know how much longer they can hold the demons back. If the demons continue advancing at this rate, then the demons will eventually get to the bunker and kill the humans that are there! There won't be any safe places left in the kingdom!

Ophis walked down the street of the kingdom calmly while looking around. She was still in awe of everything happening. She didn't know who was leading the army of demons, but she couldn't deny that the person was a genius. How did the demons learn all these tactics? When Ophis was the leader of the demons, the demons were very reluctant to learn anything and they wouldn't use tactics no matter what she did! She thought that the demons were just too stupid to use tactics and she didn't bother trying to teach them anymore.

Ophis didn't know that the demons didn't want to learn the tactics because they didn't see her as their true leader. The demons are only subservient to their demon lord and even if Ophis was the daughter of the former demon lord, she still wasn't a demon lord. It is already difficult for Ophis to command the demons to attack with reckless abandon, she could never teach the demons to attack with tactics when she is not their true leader.

Ophis turned around a corner and she paused as she saw a group of humans hiding inside an alleyway. It was a family of three, a mother, a father, and their little daughter. Ophis immediately recognized the man as one of the merchants that sold in the marketplace. Ophis still had her hood up so they couldn't see her horns. The man looked at her in apprehension as he drew his family closer. He was very cautious of anyone because of the number of demons around.

Ophis just turned around and walked back the way she came. She left the alleyway and she saw a group of goblins looking around for any other humans. Ophis called out to them and the goblins turned to her with a snark!

The merchant's eyes widened when he saw what she was doing! Why is she calling goblins!? Is this woman trying to get them killed!?

That is exactly what Ophis was trying to do.

Ophis didn't have an ounce of sympathy for humans. Both her time as the demon lord and her time as a beggar has made her hatred for humans rise to a new level. She didn't want even a single one of them to remain alive in the kingdom!! Ophis took down her hood to show the goblins that she was one of them and she pointed the goblins toward the alley. The goblin walked closer as they peered into the alleyway to see the humans huddling together in the dark and their faces split into sinister grins!

"Priestess...!"

"Priestess...!"

"Priestess...!"

Things like these were constantly being shouted by all the citizens around Freya and after a long time, her stress finally got to her she finally snapped as she shouted at them to shut the fuck up! The shock that passed through their faces was unimaginable! They have never heard the priestess curse before! Freya was not in a good mood and she didn't have the restraint to keep her thoughts to herself!

"If you want to live then don't fucking bother me and run! Do you think I'm some kind of meat shield!? If anyone talks to me again then the demons will be the last of your problem!"

Freya hated these ugly people talking to her like she was some sort of savior for them! This is why she preferred traveling with the hero! At least the hero was reliable and he could protect her instead of relying on her, unlike these fools! These fools can't even do anything! They only rely on her like leeches!

"Priestess, I know you're tired, but you shouldn't speak like that. The people here are all depending on you and you should try to raise their morale. Maybe you can give them a prayer to make them calm?"

The person that spoke was the head of Freya's guards. A handsome man with white hair that looked like snow. Freya chose him specially to be her head guard because of how closely he resembled Floid. But this man has none of Floid's character! Once you look past the face, you'll see that he was just a wasted knight that wasn't even an S-class! Freya frowned at her head guard and snarked back!

"If they want prayer then they should pray for themselves! Don't bother me with their fucking problems! You ugly people should just go die if this is how you're going to keep relying on me! Their shouting is giving me a headache!"

The head guard recoiled like he just received a slap! He has never heard that kind of tone on his priestess before! The head guard wouldn't deny that he was in love with the priestess, he always saw her as a kind and gentle person and he fell in love with that side of her. But this new side was throwing him for a loop! This can't be the woman he fell in love with!
