Chapter 250: If You Want To Protect Me Than Just Say So.

Elias didn't like the plan to send Givalich and Ria alone. Especially because he wasn't even present in the fucking plan! He didn't know if he could trust Ria and Givalich to find these mountains and report back in time before the demon lord gets here. Elias knew that the demon lord was definitely on his way here already and it was only a matter of time before they would run into each other again. But then he looked at Dray and Dray glared right back. Elias didn't know if he could stay with this fool for a week without ending him.

"Come on, Eli. Just trust us. We'll find the mountains and bring you over,"

Ris leaned towards Elias' side and poked him just above the rib while pouting cutely. Elias slapped her hand away. He knew that she was just ting to coerce him into going along with their plan and it annoyed him.

"Don't call me that. And let me think about it for a moment,"

Elias looked down at the map again as he traced the line that they would need to travel if they were flying. They would need to go through a few more towns and forests, but if they make stops along the town to rest, then they should be able to reach the Duruvian mountains before the week was even over.

Givalich was right. They need Dray for this mission and it would be best if Elias stayed behind to look after him. Dray is too much of a flight risk right now. Elias finally nodded at the plan.

"Fine, you two can go and find the mountains. I will stay here with the boy. Once you find it, open a portal and we'll join you. We won't have much time before we can perform the ritual, so make sure you hurry up as much as possible,"

[Hey there, tell me. Are you really a king or something?]

The group at the table turned around to see a man standing behind Dray and looking straight at Elias. Elias only glanced at the man for a moment before he ignored the man and looked back at his map. The man was wearing standard adventurer attire. A leather pair of boots, leather pants, and a cotton shirt with a sword across his back. He looked a little bit like a pirate.

Slam!

The ma slammed his hand on the table when he didn't get a response from Elias and Elias finally looked back up again to see that the man was now frowning angrily. What the fuck does this rat want?

[I asked you a question, old man. Don't tell me you don't understand the words coming out of my mouth]

Ria put her hand to her mouth and giggled when the man called Elias an old man. Elias glared at her and she only laughed harder! The man that was disturbing them looked towards Ria and his eyes widened as he saw her! She was not wearing her blindfold but her eyes were closed so the man couldn't see her eyes. But he couldn't help but think she was absolutely beautiful!

He stood straight and walked towards Ria.

[Hey, if this old man here is no fun. How about hanging with me instead? It's better than being with a self-proclaimed king, isn't it? A king that can't even answer a simple question isn't even a real man, don't you think?]

Ria was finally coming down from her giggles when the man spoke and she waved him away like he was a fly on her shoulder.

[I ~haha~ I would rather bite my tongue and die. Now go away. We're busy]

[You blind bitch-]

The man put his hand on Ria's shoulder and that was the last thing he got to before a gust of wind passed through the entire room

Phwoom!

There was silence for a moment before the man's hand suddenly split into three pieces and dropped off his shoulder! The man screamed as he held the stump of his shoulder! What the hell just happened to his hand!?

Ria smiled at Elias. Elias was still busy reading through the map on the table but she could tell that he was the one that just did that!

"You could've just told him not to touch your wife. But this is far more romantic, so I like it more,"

"Shut up,"

Ria laughed again when she heard what Elias said. She could only think that Elias was just a big tsundere!

The man was still screaming as his blood leaked from his shoulder! Once his hand fell off, other adventurers in the bar started to get up and Givalich sighed as she put her chin on the table tiredly. Do they really have to do this today? She was tired and killing a few humans is not what she had planned for today. She just wanted to find some sheep to eat and then sleep.

But Elias just bundled up the map and put handed it to Ria as he stood up.

"No need to bother yourselves. I'll handle this"

Elias grabbed the man that was still screaming because of his hand by the hair and he dragged him along as he went to confront the rest of the bar. Eliad hasn't had a chance to unwind in a while and these fools seem like the perfect opportunity to let off some steam!

Dray wondered if it was okay for Elias to kill these people since they will be staying in this town. Won't that just make the guild head angry and he will kick them out!? That's not really what guests are meant to do. But Dray knew he couldn't stop Elias even if he wanted to. Elias would probably just kill Dray and call it an accident! He looked at Ria and he saw her blushing and hugging the map she was holding like it was Elias. She was watching Elias with stars in her eyes and Dray immediately knew she, would be useless so he ignored her.

Givalich was resting her head on the table and she had this nonchalant air around her that showed she wasn't interested in stopping Elias at all. Once Dray saw that none of them was going to stop Elias, Dray just sighed and relaxed back in his chair as he also gave up on stopping Elias.

Quinn and Pyra were in the training room in the demon castle as Pyra trained Quinn on how to use her demon sword.

Pyra was standing to one side and she watched Quinn train as her thoughts drifted. Pyra heard from the demon lord just yesterday that she would be going with Dragonnel to go and investigate Volcanica and find the location of the Duruvian mountains!

Pyra was extremely happy when she heard the demon lord tell her this! This means that the demon lord trusted her once more and he was confident enough in her ability to send her on such an important mission.

The demon lord and the rest of the household that would be going to Volcanica were going to be staying in an inn inside of Dragonnels territory, and when Pyra and Dragonnel find the seal they would alert the demon lord and open a portal to allow them through!

Although Pyra still didn't know exactly what they would be looking for. But the demon lord told Pyra that she couldn't miss it. She would know what it is once she sees it.

Floid already knew that Elis was searching for Asgorath as well and Floid knew that Elias would succeed in releasing the dragon! But Floid didn't care about that at all! Foid was not going there to stop Elias from releasing Asgorath! Floid was going thee to fucking kill Elias and Asgorath! So Floid is going to allow Elias to release the dragon and it is only after they release it that Floid would show up.

Pyra was so happy about her mission that even Quinn noticed it! It was so obvious because, for the first time in a long time, Quinn was not being pushed as hard as she is usually being pushed during training! Quinn usually feels like dying at this point whenever they were training before! It has already been an hour into the rain and Quinn didn't have any life-threatening wounds that could possibly kill her! She was shocked! The only thing that Pyra was making her do was improve her tolerance of the demon sword and Quinn was making sure that she could hold it for a longer time! Quinn has already been doing this for a while, so it was really easy for her to hold the sword for an hour or more by now!

"That's enough for today. We have to go prepare for the mission that the demon lord gave to us so we will cut the training short for now,"

Quinn finally let go of the sword and dropped it to the ground. She flicked her hand and she was surprised when she didn't feel too much pain at all in her hands. She has been holding the sword for an hour now and she didn't feel anything. Pyra was really going easy on her today!

Quinn and Pyra were both about to leave when they suddenly heard someone open the room door.

Ka-cha!

They immediately wondered who could possibly be coming into the room at this time! They were done with training already so they needed to leave. If someone wanted to come, why didn't they come earlier? But the person that entered the room immediately made both their eyes widen in shock as Pyra immediately bowed like she was struck in the back of the head!

"My lord!"

Floid looked around the small training room with a bored look in his eyes. He was followed behind by Alucard as he walked into the training room. Floid was wearing a white shirt and white trousers with a black coat hanging on his shoulders and he had the shirt rolled up to his sleeve. His hands were in his pocket and he looked very relaxed.

Floid had been working in his office and signing some last-minute papers that needed his signature before he left for Volcanica when he suddenly thought about coming here to see what Quinn has been up to! Floid gave her a task and he told her that if she didn't complete the task then he would toss her out of the demon world! Floid was fucking serious about this and he wanted to know just how strong Quinn was now!
