Book 4: Chapter 64: Clearing out the Changelings

Scarlet

Right after the first amongst the few changelings that transform back into their human forms leave their human skins, shocking the humans around us, I knock that changeling out and turn around while shouting, Fire away!

And the many Guardians that the general had prepared around us immediately attack the changelings I had previously pointed out, the majority of which are still in their human forms.

Honestly, I wasnt expecting more than one to change forms at my order. Having four of them change forms was a rather large surprise.

They also seemed to act differently from what I was expecting. Instead of devotion and awe when they transformed back, these changelings seemed to resist it at first and then let go of their transformation.

Almost as if I had somehow forced them magically to do it.

Well, that would make sense, Tar comments, making me blink in surprise before I rush to kill the remaining changelings, most of whom are trying to escape.

Why would it make sense?

Well, the Demon Kings ability that lets him order any demon to do his bidding is a skill called Demon Kings Rule that gives him that Title, and I would be shocked if he didnt etch it, Tar answers, almost making me pause mid-kill, only for me to continue killing off the changelings again.

Thats I didnt think about that.

So what, does the etched skill give me a much weaker version of it?

Probably, Tar says right as I finish off the last changeling, leaving the storage hub in silence again.

It takes nearly an entire minute before one of the workers that had been pushed to the side of the room after being protected by a barrier speaks up, whispering, What what the hell? And his whispered words immediately shatters the silence, leaving everyone else to begin speaking as well until the general raises his voice, shouting, Attention!

Then everyone goes dead silent again.

It got you some EXP at least, Tar points out, making me nod my head in agreement.

Im still surprised there were so many adult changelings at Class IV. From what Earth used to know, there shouldnt have been any Class IV changelings. Meaning the demons hid that very well.

I wouldnt be surprised if Gramps actually fed the Knights false information about that before they came back to Earth.

He probably did, Tar mutters while appearing as I roll over, letting him lie down on my chest.

I wonder how Amelia feels about that? Probably not happy.

Tar doesnt say anything, making me glance down to find that hes already fallen asleep.

Is it just me, or was he more tired than I was?

Tar obviously doesnt respond.

I watch the tanuki for a few seconds before looking up at the ceiling again.

Well, now that the changelings have been cleared up from the supply hubs, the supply problem should be gone. At least until they try to replace those changelings.

Although theres always the chance that one of the changelings happened to be missing, but I smelled the entire city around each of the supply hubs for changelings and didnt find any more. And while that isnt exactly the most accurate as my senses get worse the further away the thing Im smelling is, not to mention the other distractions amongst them, I can at least hope the problem is temporarily gone.

It should at least be significantly reduced now.

Which means its time to go back to the frontlines again.

I cant help but feel like Im forgetting something though.
