“Say, answer the question for me will ya?”
The driver named David chuckled while rolling a lollipop with one hand and another controlled the car steering.
Her small dry voice sounded cute to everyone, it was for sure deadly to any of her victims and foes, however.
Due to last-minute arrangements, Shadow decided to bring David instead of Conan. Conan’s job, while they were gone, was to overtake some of Elijah’s responsibilities. The only person who had experienced and someone that the lord put immense trust on.
“Ye- yes?” James’s body flinched involuntarily whenever he listened to the voice. His body reacted due to the trauma.
“Do you know the demon?”

The rest of the journey was so awkward. Took them another two hours to travel to the capital and to find a suitable place for her. Because of Elijah’s eagle eyes, they decided to enter the demon’s mansion instead of waiting for the final destination and moving around aimlessly.They pulled up early in the evening inside the mansion straight to the main entrance of the mansion. Not the gate, but the main entrance of the mansion. It was like a miracle to enter the territory of a demon without experiencing any resistance.Which at the same time, looked suspicious enough.“Look!” Shadow pointed her finger to the green garden at her left side.
“Well hello, dear old friend.” Shadow was quite shocked herself but it turned out much better than she expected.She remembered the face too well.No matter how many times they changed their faces, she would always recognize them.“My first label.” She laughed diabolically. It was the loudest, the evilest, and the terror-stricken even for the devil and the demon itself.Oh well, she was the embodiment of Lucifer on earth and soon would make a name in the novel.“Don’t tell me you have forgotten about me, my lovely Chayan?” She tilte
The three people that were with her now became her platinum members to see the historical moment. They moved from one corner to another. All because to make sure their presence wouldn’t burden the lord. Even so, they were strong enough to shield themselves from the stray attack of the demon lord.Sometimes, they covered their ears when the sudden angry shriek… or probably was a fear shriek. No one knows. Whatever it was, this was their first time seeing the demon lord have a difficult time fighting with someone.Soon, the fireball with blue-ish color emerged from Chayan’s hands the same moment they moved their place. Thanks to the sharp eyes of Elijah, they could see and duck the next attack at ease with
Chayan was awakened by the third kick of the small lord that was looking at him as he was the prey that needed to be eaten. The combat boots connected harshly on his head.“Are you sane yet?” The lazy voice was directed above him. “Wake up now.” She gave him another kick before striding elsewhere.Chayan, who was laying on the ground grunted, he pushed his body off the ground, his hazy eyes fluttered a moment to find his ground. His head was ringing for a whole different reason although he knew who was the cause of it.He snickered ironically inwardly. The small girl that was sitting on his throne with one leg topples another and leaned sideways with a propping head and wearing a less scary mask that
“Good morning to all sleepyheads.” Shadow ran through the house with the apron.The trouble Elijah followed behind her, helped her if she belatedly should do so. Like when they spotted the dirty clothes on the floor, Elijah was figuratively transported next to it and vacuumed everything.In a sense, Shadow acted like a supervisor instead of helping around. It was always like this even after years they had the master-servant bond, though she couldn’t protest. A protest made by Shadow would always receive encouragement from Elijah instead of properly listening to Shadow.So, Shadow learned to let them be.“At least, I know my way around the kitchen, I am a
Shadow was visibly relaxing on the couch, shutting her eyes with a serene expression. She was currently resting inside the cottage while David and Elijah were doing outing activities like buying a grocery for dinner today.Their principle when it came to their lord was somewhat strict but it was manageable to some extent.However, the busy Shadow was now looking peaceful without doing anything. She had to mobilize all her body just to come here, seeking information. She was sleeping peacefully instead.No one knew what plan she had stored inside her mind but they hoped it brought the satisfaction of the lord. For the very least, met the initial goal that no one knew of.“May I inquire with you?”“James
Elijah and David soon returned with a bag full of groceries. After giving their self-made compulsory greeting, they went to the kitchen to put away the groceries while James and Shadow conversed.“For two years, I only answered the angry call.” She answered James’s next inquiry.“The expansion around your town was because of answering the challenge of others?” James couldn’t bring himself to believe the words.She looked like someone who attacked them first like when she attacked the demon lord.Shadow sat on the couch and propped her elbow on the edge of the head’s couch. “Did I ever attack you?” Her eyebrows raised in question.James wet his lips in guilt. He was t
James had a complicated face on his face. It stayed a full minute while his brain was working hard. Once the information and the fight of the Shadow interrupted his black thought, it concluded his thinking.“I will follow the Overlord to the end of the world, for the rest of my life.”Shadow took the warm cup on the table. “You have pledged to the lord Shadow,” she made clear to him. “LORD SHADOW.”“Yes!”“Great,” an ambivalent grin planted on her lips.Ding dong!James and David instinctively swiveled their heads to the front door that was 20 meters away from there.Shadow flicked her hand a
Black and Teal landed at the training ground where Shadow was. Their clean attire fluttered around, eyes focused on Shadoe who was harassing her sparring partners which consisted of Albert, Firash, Aidan, Dhia, and also Musa. Watching those people's haggard faces and tattered clothes, Teal covered her mouth as a nostalgic feeling crept under her skin. It was not a great experience. Although, it increased her prowess, power, ability to wield her GIFT, and strength. Still, it wasn’t a pleasant experience knowing how brutal Shadow could be. “I think we need to rescue them.” “Should we?”Black mumbled while stroking her chin while Teal shivered at the thought alone. Then, both of them wavered their hands as those people took notice of them and pleaded with their eyes.“Should we?”“... we should, should we?”Black asked cunningly and Teal sighed in resignation. If they don't save them, they might hit their limit soon. In normal circumstances, it would be ideal, however, not right now.
“Hmmm… are those the ships that we need to destroy?” “Apparently so, Blue.”“Seriously?”“Yup, yup.”“... that thing is gigantic. What the…” “Fu fu fu. Believe me, I thought so too, Blue.”Blue and Pink were standing right in front of the naval ship. Blue was standing on top of the ice he created while Pink was flying, fluttering her flower’s wings behind her back.They were in the middle of the sea with nothing in it. They were sure that the mermen would be ambushing. They expected it to a certain extent, however… what they didn’t expect was the oblivious approach.The naval ships filled with countless beastmen, no. hundreds of confused beastmen. Both Pink and Blue didn’t smell particularly strong.Blue seemed delighted but Pink was quite vexed. “Did we get the weakest link?” She flipped open her paper fan and fanned it harder.“I don’t know. Feels like I am in heaven.”Pink gnashed her teeth and glared at her partner.“What?” Blue acted innocent.“You and your stupid attitude.” S
“Look. there’s an ass picture of the supposed dragon lord.” Green mumbled next to White.“I can see that, Green.” White tried to control her lips from vomiting.“Just alerting you.”“Thank you.”Green and White were disguising themselves as a wizard and a witch. Wands at each hand.“Young man,” a soft touch was placed on Green.Green reflexly turned his head at the old lady next to him. His green eyes dilated a mere second before a sweet smile emerged. “Yes, beautiful lady?” “Ho ho ho,” the old lady that looked not more than 70 years old radiantly chuckled. “How sweet you are.” White looked away, acting like Green and she wasn’t related. The old lady might appear 70, but she knew better, that the old lady was centuries old.“Do you know what is the meaning behind this painting?”Green stroked his chin, pondering at the ass painting – again, the supposed dragon lord. He wasn’t sure what to say. It was literally the buttcrack of Ferdinand. How’d he know? The description was literall
Bzzzzzzt~The sharp sound of electricity traveled across the metal factory.Unlike Grey and Brown, their destination was a metal factory. Thanks to kind-hearted Grey, they changed their destination. It was the closest and it was on the ground.Everyone knew Orange didn’t do well underground due to old trauma. Hence why Grey decided to give in. As always. Also, they all knew that Orange was Grey’s favorite. Of course, Grey denied the claim and the issue died there. As usual.They strolled inside as if they were visiting the factory, not invading. Meanwhile, the enemies were panicking.“Abad’s been hit. There’s someone out here–” The voice that was shouting through the radio before cutting out. Huh? The fuck? Abad’s hurt?“Captain Ayham, the left side is clear,” Barqi said right after that. “We’re moving, heading to the main pathway.” Ayham gritted his teeth.He was in the controller room. CCTV captured the activities inside the factory. However, the place where the enemies were situ
Tap! Both of them landed right in the middle of the nothingness. It was barren. Sand, rock, and cactus. That’s all.It was a freaking desert.“This is the right place.” Brown adjusted his mask.Grey raised his arm into the air and pulled out his middle finger and felt the air.“Why must that one?” Brown was tired of his antics.“As long as I can do my work,” retorted Grey nonchalantly. “What about your situation?” Slightly turned his head at Brown.“I have a clear vision.” Brown closed his eyes, feeling the movement underneath. “How many?” He tilted his head. Something was wrong. The weather felt wrong for some reason. The density of air was different than usual.“Approximately 50 beastmen on each floor. I could be wrong.”“And how many floors do they have?” He opened his eyes and stared at the sky.“Approximately… three.” Grey counted the clouds in the air. “Three? Are you sure?” Brown tilted his head and set his jaw, feeling the vibration even the smallest one. “Wait a minute!
“Wild Bunny, gather!” Black clapped her hands, calling the rest of the restless members.“What are we? Fucking school kids?” Orange murmured silently, his steps still trudging toward Black.“Shut your stinky mouth.” Brown clicked his tongue.“What a fool.” White shook her head.“You’re the last thing I want to hear.” Teal groaned.“We ain’t fighting.” Pink pushed both their heads at once while walking past them.The rest of them were laughing inwardly.Once they gathered, Black placed a transparent bowl with numerous folded papers in it. Her black eyes latched on each one of them, wriggled her brows petulantly.“As usual, we’ll choose our area the Old Way.”“Ugh! I hate it.” Blue murmured amongst them. The voice filled with annoyance.“We must use this method to ensure fairness, Blue Bunny.” Blue rolled his eyes shut and slumped his head on Pink’s shoulder.“I’ll pick the paper for us.” Pink raised her hand.“Me… will do.” White raised her hand as well.Gold nodded at Black.“Alright
Flashback! “Hey! Do you want to hear a secret?” Shadow asked right after her wedding took place.All the Underworld family gathered around. A secret? Just you, and the rest of us? Ehe., hehehe. Oops. sorry that had to come out. Go on.” Brown and Orange clasped their hands in full happiness.“What is it?” Black swallowed hard. “Don’t tell me…”“Something is wrong.” Captain from Mandrill Monkey arched his brow in anticipation.“I also can feel it in my dick.” Daddy from Mandrill Monkey stroked his chin.“God damn it, Daddy.” “I am only telling the truth. My dick can feel it.” He had no remorse, no shame.“Please don’t talk about that in the open, I guess?”“About what? Dick? Why? Because we have ladies here?”“Yes, and it is inappropriate.”“Why? They can talk about their vajayjay if they want to.”“Damn it, Daddy! Stop it!” Captain clasped his mouth and dragged him away.The rest of the Mandrill Monkeys were cackling as if there was no tomorrow. “After analyzing the movement of the
“Sniff… really?” Phantom rubbed his nose against Shadow’s neck.“Yes. I can’t live without you. I swear.” She tried to appear convincing.“But will you die?” He was adamant about Shadow’s life.Why wouldn’t he? He was there when Shadow was at the bottom. He was there when she was suffering. He was there when she died hundreds of times. He could do nothing but watch her from afar. He had no physical body nor the capability to protect her. He was a mere artificial intelligence living in the system. “Phantom… I will cease to exist following the promise of the previous lord. Abah. I can’t die before that. My body has been programmed to do so.”It was her sad life. Cease to exist. She would never experience death like others. She would cease to exist when the time was calling. Her death would be a mysterious death. A sudden death. Abah had promised her up to 1000 years old. She knew her body couldn’t hold that long. According to her calculation, she had 800 years more to go. Plus and min
“Have you improvised their ID card or something?”Shadow turned her head at her desk. Phantom was seen sitting on top of his folders, crossed legs, and caned his chin with his hand. He was grinning wide.“You’re here?” Shadow rested her head on the visitor chair in front of her desk.Phantom’s foot was wagging back and forth, right in front of Shadow. Yet, the girl said nothing to reprimand him. She was just extremely.Phantom waved his hand, some sort of greeting or whatever.“No, the upgraded version. As soon as the card seeped into him, his whole existence was inside the system.” She answered.“When did you develop the new version?” It piqued Phantom’s interest.Shadow merely scoffed and shut her eyes. “Mind checking how well the information settles in?” She meant all the information regarding Amari’s body.It felt like time stopped momentarily. Phantom lost his smile. The usual playful vibe was killed. Phantom killed it. Anger gradually flamed inside his eyes.“Whatever you mean
