Chapter 30: Salvation (2)
“Catch them right now!!”
At the auctioneer’s shout, the thugs inside the auction house ran towards the young boys.
“O-Oppa!”
“Guys!”
Bianca and Whitney shouted urgently, but…
“Everyone, stay back. I’ll take care of them.”
William stepped forward with a calm reaction.
“You’re crazy to want to die!”
A thug who reached William mocked him and swung his sword.
Swish!
“Too slow.”
Th is w a s c o pi e d f r om ki ng m t l. o rg
William lightly dodged the thug’s attack by tilting his head to the left.
“…What?”
The thug tried to swing his sword again with a bewildered look, but…
“Die.”
William struck the thug’s abdomen.
Bang!
A large hole was pierced in his stomach.
Thud!
Seeing the thug collapse on the floor, his colleagues stared at William with pale faces.
“…Wh-What?”
“Is that the strength of a child?”
Intimidated by the overwhelming force, the thugs slowly backed away, but…
“What are you going to do, being scared of a kid?!”
At the auctioneer’s roar, the thugs bit their lower lips and charged at William again.
“Aaron, guard the back door so those bastards can’t escape. The rest of you, save Bianca and Whitney.”
“””Yes!”””
At William’s command, the children responded vigorously and began to move.
“Don’t move!”
The thug tried to throw a dagger at his moving siblings, but…
“Your opponent is me.”
Stab!
William pierced the thug’s chest with a chilling voice.
However, because they were outnumbered, William couldn’t stop them all, and several thugs succeeded in approaching Sebastian and Oliver.
“Oliver, the enemy in front of you will aim for your heart.”
At Sebastian’s words, Oliver moved a step to the right.
Whoosh!
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r om kin g m t l . o r g
A spear flew past Oliver at high speed.
“You won’t have time to look away!”
The thug in front of Sebastian seized the opportunity and swung his axe, but…
“You’ve already been analyzed.”
Crack!
Sebastian dodged the attack as he dashed forward.
“Piercing the heart has the highest probability of killing.”
Th i s wa s cop ie d fr o m k i n g m t l .o r g
Sebastian muttered to himself, then picked up a dagger that had fallen on the floor and ran at the thug.
“Don’t come near me!”
Boom!
The thug felt an inexplicable chill and swung his axe haphazardly, but…
“You’re emotionally agitated now. Your accuracy has dropped sharply.”
Sebastian dodged each attack and reached the thug.
“Goodbye.”
Stab!
And Sebastian plunged the dagger into the thug’s heart without hesitation.
“N-No way…”
The thug looked at his chest with an incredulous expression, then collapsed on the floor and died.
“You bastard!”
Seeing his comrade die, the thug tried to rush at Sebastian, but…
“Where are you going?”
Boom!
Oliver slammed his foot hard on the ground.
“Ugh!”
Stab!
The floor surged up, piercing the thug’s body.
“Let’s move, Oliver.”
“Okay.”
Sebastian and Oliver didn’t even glance at the fallen thugs and ran to where Bianca and Whitney were.
“This is our chance to escape. Let’s go to the door!”
“There’s a kid guarding it.”
“We have no other choice!”
Meanwhile, the guests in the auction house tried to escape towards the door that Aaron was guarding, but…
“Brother said no one can pass!”
Crack, crack, crack.
Seeing Aaron’s size grow rapidly, they had no choice but to stop.
“Don’t come any closer!!!”
And as Aaron, who had grown five times the size of an ordinary adult, swung his fist at the masked man…
Crack!
Like a dried squid, the body was crushed.
“H-Hiek!”
“Run away somewhere else!”
The masked men hurriedly turned around and ran away.
“I think it’s time for us to step up, right?”
Whitney, who had been watching the scene, asked Bianca.
“Yes, it doesn’t seem right to just watch when everyone else is working hard.”
Bianca nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought.
“Then, let’s move.”
As Whitney pulled her arms to the side…
Clang!
The shackles on her wrists broke too easily.
“Wh-What!”
The auctioneer, who was guarding her, took a dagger out of his pocket with a frightened expression, but…
“Sir, would you please unlock this shackle?”
“…Huh? Y-Yes.”
At Bianca’s request, the auctioneer’s expression turned hazy, and he unlocked the shackle she was wearing.
“And would you please end your life?”
“Of course.”
At her continued request, the auctioneer, as if it was an honor, raised his dagger and stabbed himself in the heart.
Stab!
Thud!
“…Wow, your ability is amazing!”
Whitney stared at Bianca with surprised eyes, then smiled brightly and gave her a thumbs-up.
“…It’s nothing special.”
Bianca shyly lowered her head.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l.o rg
“Pfft, how cute. Then, shall we go help the kids?”
“Okay.”
And as if they hadn’t been chattering cheerfully just a moment ago, they went down to the stage with fierce eyes.
“…Crazy, what the hell happened?!”
“Those guys were that strong…?”
Hunchback and Fat Belly, who were watching the situation from the waiting room, couldn’t hide their bewilderment.
“Strong? I think they sold their souls to the devil and made a contract.”
“Contract with a demon… Should we go to the cathedral?”
At Fat Belly’s words, Hunchback pounded his chest in frustration.
“Hey, do you think it makes sense for us, criminals, to go and talk to them?”
“…Tsk, you’re right. What should we do now?”
“What do you mean what should we do? We need to pack up and run away!”
T h i s w a s co p i e d f r o m ki ng m t l. o r g
“L-Let’s do that.”
Afterward, Fat Belly and Hunchback packed up and tried to escape through the back door, but…
“Where are you going?”
“”…””
William was waiting for them at the back door.
“Why did you do that?”
“…What?”
“Why did you kidnap my siblings?”
“…”
“So you’re not going to answer?”
When they didn’t answer, William approached Hunchback at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
“Gasp!”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r o m ki ngm tl. o r g
Hunchback unconsciously threw a punch at William, but…
Thud!
William dodged the attack and grabbed Hunchback’s arm, then…
Rip!
He tore it off.
“Aaargh!”
Hunchback clutched his missing arm and screamed in pain.
“Now, do you want to answer?”
“…”
Fat Belly’s back was drenched in sweat at William’s question.
“You’re still not going to answer? Then, I guess I have to tear off your arm this time.”
Just as William was about to raise his hand…
“W-Wait, I’ll talk! If I talk, it’ll be fine!”
Fat Belly, who didn’t want to end up like Hunchback, hurriedly answered.
“What’s the reason?”
“…What reason would there be? We’re just trying to make a living.”
“There are other ways to make a living.”
“This one makes money.”
At Fat Belly’s explanation, William made a grim expression.
“So you’re saying you kidnapped my siblings for such a trivial reason?”
T h i s w a s co pi e d f r o m ki n g m t l. or g
“…”
“I was hoping, but there was no twist. My curiosity is satisfied, so now die.”
Just as William was about to raise his hand again…
T hi s w a s c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l. or g
“You die, you little shit!!!”
Fat Belly launched a surprise attack, swinging his fist.
“…Was I really knocked down by that punch?”
It was so slow that he could almost yawn.
William snorted and reached out his hand.
Thud!
“Huh?”
And as he grabbed Fat Belly’s fist and applied force to his hand…
Crunch!
“Aaargh!!”
Fat Belly’s hand was easily crushed.
T hi s wa s co p i e d fr o m k i n g m tl . org
“This is what it feels like to have power…”
It was strange how the guy who was so scary when he was powerless now felt so insignificant.
“P-Please spare me. I was wrong!”
Fat Belly begged for his life, shedding tears and snot, but…
“No.”
Crack.
William mercilessly crushed Fat Belly’s head.
“You die too.”
“W-Wait!”
Hunchback, who was lying on the floor, hurriedly raised his hand, but…
Crack!
William’s kick shattered his head, and he died.
As William was staring at the coldly cooling corpses…
“Oppa, what are you doing?”
Bianca’s voice was heard.
He looked back and saw Bianca and his other siblings walking towards him.
“Just lost in thought for a moment. How’s the auction house?”
Sebastian answered William’s question.
“No one alive.”
“Good job.”
“…Hehe.”
When William stroked his head, Sebastian smiled pleasantly.
“Then, shall we move to the next location since the cleanup here is done?”
“Next location?”
At William’s words, Whitney tilted her head in question.
“Yes, there are still trashes left to punish.”
At the mention of more trash to punish, the children grinned wickedly and replied.
“””Punish, good.”””
Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but be impressed by the scene of carnage unfolding before him.
‘…They are better than I thought.’
Contrary to his expectations that they would be clumsy, they showed remarkable skills.
‘Did they adapt quickly because they are talented?’
Jung Minwoo reflected on the fact that he had underestimated humans.
‘If this is the case, I don’t have to worry about the demonic energy supply.’
Less than an hour had passed since they became Demon Servants, and seeing the demonic energy flowing in, he knew that a tremendous amount of demonic energy would continuously flow in later.
‘I should give them a lot of support later.’
He decided to send the goblins from the breeding grounds to William’s location once they completed their training.
‘Of course, I’ll be selling them at a fair price.’
Having received systematic training, they would be much more capable than the pet monsters on this planet.
‘Should I tell the kids to go out now?’
He needed to follow the Demon Servants, as they had gone to the auction house a while ago.
When he turned his head towards the Demon Communion members…
“…They are exceeding expectations.”
“This is insane…”
“…Satisfactory.”
“This is the power of my species! I can’t believe it! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Like himself, the Demon Communion members were also in awe of the massacre.
At that sight, Jung Minwoo chuckled and said,
“You seem to like it.”
The Demon Communion members nodded vigorously in response to Jung Minwoo’s question.
“C-Could I ask for another favor later when I make Demon Servants?”
Pink Girl cautiously asked, hinting at a request.
“If the reward is substantial.”
“Reward… I understand.”
Pink Girl quietly repeated Jung Minwoo’s words, then nodded as if she understood.
‘Let’s see what she’s thinking.’
He was curious about what she was thinking, so he decided to use ‘Mind’s Eye’.
As he focused on Pink Girl…
【 It wouldn’t be bad to go down there without waiting for the second exam… 】
Letters formed above her head, and Pink Girl’s thoughts were translated into text.
【 Anyway, if I don’t graduate as the top student, I’ll start from 9th Rank, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go under No. 1 and build up my power. 】
Rank System – A system for classifying demons based on their grades.
‘To come under me and build up her power… It’s not a bad judgment.’
It was known that it takes a long time to reach 7th Rank from 9th Rank because they are low-ranking demons without names.
‘But it’s not difficult to raise her rank if I help her.’
If Pink Girl graduates as the top student, Jung Minwoo would start from the intermediate rank of 6th Rank.
‘If you have a demon you serve, you get bonus points according to their rank.’
In other words, if he wanted to, he could quickly promote her.
【 …The sooner I express my intention to go down there, the better, so I’ll have to think about it when I go back to the dormitory. 】
Jung Minwoo looked away, expecting Pink Girl to come under him soon.
“Then, shall we go outside?”
Afterward, Jung Minwoo took the Demon Communion members and went out of the auction house.
When he went to where the Demon Servants were…
‘…They went all out.’
He could see the cathedral engulfed in flames and burning.
Jung Minwoo approached William and spoke,
T h is w a s c opi e d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
“What are you planning to do next?”
William thought for a moment and answered,
“We will save children like us. And…”
“And?”
William trailed off, then spoke with a determined expression,
“We will build a new nation for children like us.”
At his words, Jung Minwoo patted his shoulder and said,
“You can definitely do it.”
“Th-Thank you!”
William blushed and lowered his head, perhaps embarrassed by the praise.
“Then, I should get going.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, William’s face turned pale.
“A-Are you leaving?”
“I have to. I’m a busy man.”
“…Can I see you again?”
At William’s question, Jung Minwoo chuckled and said,
“Of course. I’ll visit you and the children, even if it’s not often.”
“O-Okay!”
“Then, let’s say goodbye.”
Jung Minwoo turned his back and poured demonic energy into his necklace.
Whoosh.
A blue portal appeared.
As Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members moved towards the portal…
“””Thank you for helping us!”””
William and the children bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.
“I hope you’ll be even stronger the next time we meet.”
“Of course…!”
As William was about to answer Jung Minwoo’s words…
Whoosh.
The portal disappeared.
“Tsk, I couldn’t finish my answer.”
William stared wistfully at the place where the portal had disappeared and clicked his tongue.
“…Well, it’s better to show it through actions than words.”
Afterwards, William and his siblings made a resolution.
They would greet him with an even stronger appearance when he visits next time.
