"B-bleughhh"
Hogun spat out saliva as his bloodshot eyes leaked out tears as a result of the pain that must have been surging through his body.
'We're just getting started.' I raised my fist to land another blow.
>FWOOOOOSSSHHHH<
Several dark spears lunged at me, courtesy of my other opponent—Adu.
'Oh, I haven't forgotten about you...' My grin widened, as I proceeded to kick Hogun in the direction of the attack.
>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM<
Friendly fire wasn't good—nope, not at all. Look what happened as a result.
Hogun, as a result of being attacked by so much power while in his stunned state, was sent crashing to the ground.
'Ah, I feel for him. Falling into the battlefield itself...' I said my prayers for the dude—though I knew he would most likely survive the fall.
What happened to him after that... well, I could only wish him the best.
"Hoguuuunnn!!!" I heard Adu yell, most likely preparing to teleport in order to catch his friend.
'Not on my watch, buddy.'
In a flash, I intercepted Adu before he could disappear, grabbing his throat while disabling his Magic in the exact same moment.
"Where do you think you're going?" I smiled, holding the short guy until we both witnessed Hogun crash into the battlefield.
A huge crater was made, but that didn't stop the Demons from fighting the monsters. It was a matter of life and death, after all.
Everyone was either too tired, or too busy, to care about a Demon General's descent.
"Y-you bastar—"
>WHAM!<
I spread a nicely made slap on Adu's face. My aim was a bit off, so I wasn't satisfied with the results.
'Five points out of ten.'
"H-how dare—"
>WHAM!<
This time, I planted it quote nicely. But... it still didn't feel right.
'Seven points maybe?'
"I-I'll kill y—"
>WHAM!<
'Seven point five?'
"Y-you—!"
>WHAM!<
'A solid eight! Can I get to nine? I wonder...'
>WHAM!<
"Y-you think yo—"
>WHAM!<
"S-shturp—"
>WHAM!<
"S-shtup eet—"
>WHAM!<
After a series of trial and error, I finally got to nine points. Unfortunately, I couldn't proceed any further.
Both left and right cheeks of my experimental subject were swollen behind belief. Their round surface would ruin the effects of the slap, so no efforts could ever award me a perfect ten.
'Still, it was fun while it lasted... right?' I grinned at Adu.
It seemed he already passed out... unfortunately.
"Welp, down you go." I let go of him and focused my attention on the surviving Demons—the Demon Generals especially.
A crash sounded from underneath me, but I ignored it.
'Probably some fallen garbage.'
So far, the battle had reached a crescendo.
With the climax already within grasp, I had to start rounding up.
"First, I should take care of all the Demon Lords. Then, I'll use 'that' on them. Yep... that'll work."
My goal was to use [Domination] on the Demon Generals and force them to enter a contract with me.
That way, I would have more competent subordinates under my control.
As for the monsters, I needed to find a way to domesticate them. I couldn't keep bleeding out MP anytime I wanted to utilize them.
'Or should I just let them return to the Labyrinth? Yeah... that's probably for the best.'
After this battle, it would be best if I didn't ruin too much of the ecosystem. Monsters had rights too, didn't they? The right to be hunted by Adventurers.
Why would I tamper with that?
'If I make make all the monsters good, what will the Adventurers hunt? They'll have to leave Dulum. That'll be bad for business...'
Besides, one could say that killing monsters was beneficial to humans since it have them more EXP, and Leveled them up.
'As someone who plans on making humans the victors on this planet... I can't exactly take away their source of growing stronger.'
Sure, Dulum would most likely experience an economic boom thanks to the reserves that was buried under their basement, but Adventurers were Adventurers not only because of the money.
Violence was a part of their lifestyle. If I wasn't careful with how I handled the aftermaths of this battle, things could get ugly.
'Not like I understand the ways of these barbarians...' I sighed.
Conclusively, I had to return the monsters to the Labyrinth... but the Golems were mine.
'There's no way I'm letting them go.'
My Inventory was also stock-full of so many stuff I took for myself. It couldn't be considered hoarding since there was so much more buried underneath.
'I just took a small portion. It's my payment for going through all this trouble for these guys...' Once I put it that way, I was better able to sleep at night—not that I had a lot of opportunities to rest during my time underneath the ground.
>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<
A loud explosion attracted my attention, and it seemed the Demon Generals were finally going all-out.
A massive Dragon controlled by one of them was wreaking havoc and defeating so many of my Golems. The others also seemed to be combining their Magic Power to cause greater damage than they could achieve individually.
Smart move.
"That Demon will probably run out of MP before her Dragon does irreparable damage. In the end, no matter how I look at this... I'll win."
But, I couldn't just stand by and allow my dear creations get chewed on by some overgrown lizard.
No... they deserved better than that!
"This is going to take quite a ton of MP, but that's fine. We're just about done here..."
I casually my hand to the sky and chose to put my [Undecided] Class to use.
"Switch: Mage."
New Skillsets manifested before me, and I chose the most extreme.
'Levels determine what kind of Skills will be presented to you. With my current state, I can cause some serious damage...'
That was why I chose the Skill that was bound to end the meaningless struggles of the Demons—as well as garner me more adoration from my fans.
