Chapter 247

It was then that he remembered the existence of secret human reinforcement hideouts spread across the demon lands.

Of course, he didn't remember exactly where they were, but fortunately for him and the others, the older man among the six knew about the place from his time spent with other captives who were now dead.

He had barely managed to survive among the demons and was quite resilient. With Oliver's extensive knowledge and the man's awareness of the terrain, it didn't take them long to guess where the reinforcement hideout would most likely be.

It wasn't an exact location, but Oliver felt it was close enough; once they reached nearby, he could find it on his own.

He stretched his legs out toward the fire, feeling the warmth seep into his weary muscles, easing the tension that had settled into his bones. His purpose in the city was already fulfilled, and staying any longer would have only brought trouble.

He had caused permanent damage to the city, and if he guessed correctly, everything should be in chaos at this moment.

A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes reflecting the dancing flames as he pictured the confusion and terror his actions would have left behind. Memories of the past flashed through his mind as he recalled the time when he had just finished dealing with Gureon and her goons.

He reminisced about what happened afterward.

Few days ago...

"Phew. It was quite the work."

Oliver wiped the sweat from his brow, his hands slick with the blood of demons. The stench clung to him, metallic and foul, but he hardly noticed anymore. He wiped off his sweat after finishing with all the hearts he had extracted from the demons.

It was a long and atrocious process, but he felt pretty numb to the fact that he had eaten hearts. What would have once horrified him now felt like routine. The inner sense of disgust had reduced significantly by now.

"Now that the main obstacle has been cleared..." His expression darkened as he continued, "It's time to clear the side quests."

Gureon controlled the west, and there were plenty of demons living in this place.

"Huff..." He exhaled heavily, sliding down to sit against a nearby container, his body finally relaxing after the hours of relentless slaughter. It had not been easy. He would not have been able to do it if the region hadn't been relatively small and easier to navigate.

He had attacked the guards first, and as a result, the remaining civilians were left extremely unorganized and chaotic.

Using abyss energy while hunting them down was extremely effective; all of them went down as if they were carrots waiting to be pulled out.

It was probably then that he came across this area...

Drul... the demon inquisitor.

Drul's POV

"What happened to this place?"

Drul stared in disbelief at the streets littered with demon corpses, blood painting the ground and walls, bones scattered everywhere. The metallic scent of blood and decay filled the air, thick enough to taste. It was a horrendously chilling scene.

'What sort of monster has done this?'

Drul couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he looked at the insane rampage and brutal slaughter. His lips curled into a twisted smirk, and despite himself, he felt a thrill race down his spine.

The feeling of danger, the thrill of being close to a predator—it was intoxicating to him.

A jolt of pleasure ran through his demonic body, his feet moving on their own toward the area despite the obvious signs of danger.

Just what sort of inhuman monster must have committed such a massacre?

It was absolutely insane.

'He has to be at least as much of a maniac as our captain.'

He knew who was behind this carnage, it couldn't be anyone else, his sharp nose was telling him this.
