Chapter 1510 1510. Don't Tell

"We get this whole village to ourselves! Those power hungry fools in the capital finally decided to reward those with proper strength instead of those worthless magic users!"

"You know that's the way life should be. Tale all the magic casters and throw them away in the capital. Who needs em?!"

The drunken conversation was completely about one thing. Disrespecting the magic users. But this was a good thing. The demon soldiers were unintentionally telling Walker and Scylla exactly what was going on.

"Why do they even try and keep them in the first place if they were just going to bring them back to the city and let them hide in some dusty libraries!? Waste of time!"

"I know! We should have just fed them to the beasts in the forests like we did with that stupid tribe of moon worshippers.'' The laughter of the two demons was disgusting Walker more and more. He hated hearing their terrible deeds.

"Tomorrow the captain said we would get to pick out our own servants and take a house as our own. Won't that be great!?" The thoughts the demon soldiers had about their futures were unfortunately wrong. Scylla was already grinding her teeth in anger to hear that they had such ideas.

"So the mages are in the capital…it can't be good," Walker whispered softly even though the two drunken soldiers would not be able to hear him anyways with how loudly they were speaking.

Yes, which means we will have a tough time if they are going to mount a purely magical defensive against us. But why would they set that up now with the slimes?" Scylla wanted more answers and decided to play a risky card.

"Listen here. I will bring one of them closer so that I can integrate them. Do not tell my soldiers I would do something like this. I hate that I have these skills related to some ancient monster." Walker had no idea what Scylla meant. However, he soon understood.

Scylla had been a terrifying monster in ancient times. But for every horrendous story there was an opposite. One that depicted the monster being able to take an alluring form and attract prey to it. One that the earliest sailors had fallen victim to and warned many of. One story that many had written off as different monsters over time.

A strange sight appeared to Walker. Scylla had let the baggy robes that covered her drop away to reveal closer fitting battle clothing. Armors that were made of tough metals that had been specifically woven through unique skills to make them bend with her body. For anyone with the speed and flexibility like Scylla, this was an ideal form of armor that allowed her to move unburdened.

What was really eye catching though was the aura of attraction that took the entire area around Scylla. It was as if she had become a star in a dark sky demanding attention. Both of the drunken demon soldiers didn't see an enemy approaching when Scylla stood up but instead, they saw an eye catching battle maiden looking for them. Looking for someone that could claim her as their own.

"You two seem to be having a party. Why not invite me? But I will only give one of you all my attention." The simple words made Clark turn red. He wasn't sure why because he held no attraction to Scylla, yet his blood started to heat.

The ancient blood in Scylla gave her the unique skills that the ancient Scylla had. Monster's lovely bait was the name of a skill that many would never hear or read of in their lifetime. A skill that allowed Scylla to use the form she had to best attract her prey in every single way she desired to use it.

"You have a real man right here honey!"

"Ha! What loser would you be compared to me? I will win this one as my fourth wife." The two demon soldiers fell in to a sloppy fight leaving one passed out on the ground. The victor swayed on his feet.

"So tell me. What are you doing here? Shouldn't someone as strong as you be in the capital too?" Scylla's words were like honey attracting bees.

"I'm strong enough to take this village. The demon lord called all the weak mages to the capital to hide them away as book keepers on that library place he found under the ground!" The soldier was loud but gushed over how he was better.

"Ohhh, worthless books. It's probably better if you're here. I just wonder, what will happen if the weak humans go to the demon capital? Won't they be blasted by magic?" The tactic was too good. The demon soldier was putty in Scylla's hands. Alcohol and Scylla's skills were a perfect combination.

"Never! They can't even use magic since Gluttony is there. He has been eating up their magic as food. It's hysterical to watch spells disappear. I saw it once when I was beating down another village. Gluttony came and ate all of their mana in a second when the village tried to rebel against us. I'll have a title one day and be the same."

"I'm sure you will. What about those slimes? They almost stopped me from coming here to see you. How boorish." Scylla was watching and waiting for this answer. She needed a little more information before her skill was used up and her stomach was too full of bile after speaking with this soldier.

"The slimes are to wipe out the wilds. Who needs them? The thrones we will build will be better. Wipe it all out to nothing then rebuild it as our own. The demon lord finally realized he was weak and gave us the land we dese-" Scylla lost patience and slammed the demon soldier's head in to the ground.

She carefully picked up her robes and covered her armors. "You saw none of that and you know nothing of my real battle armor." This was not an ask of Walker but an order. Even if Walker was stronger than Scylla, he would have felt the spine chilling fear she sent toward him.

"I was able to overhear a lot of drink rambling that you and I will both share with our allies. Nothing else happened." Walker agreed readily. However, he did wonder just how tough and heavy the braided armor that Scylla wore was.

The quality was clearly higher than just about any that Walker had ever seen. She also went to great lengths to hide it so that her enemies would think they had a chance at hurting her. Even scarier, the leviathans had remained hidden in the robes at their smallest possible size. They could ambush the demon soldiers in that way without any issue.

"We should head back before those two drunks wake up. We are taking this village before morning." Walker and Scylla moved away much faster than they had entered the village. It was clear that all villages and lands would be in trouble.

"I don't know what the exact plan is with this demon lord. They pulled the magic related soldiers to the capital to do something and have abandoned their lands. I have a feeling that they aren't going to be doing anything good." Walker was trying to put the puzzle pieces together. He had some theories but nothing solid.

"It sounds like he might actually be trying to tear the entire continent down then start over with what he wants. It's evil and terrible. Or he is trying to do some large scale magic ritual. Ruins might have such a thing." Scylla had seen what the party had discovered in ruins. The mage tower was the crystal clear example of ruins that could change the world.

"That's also what I am afraid of. If they have ruins that means they could have more knowledge on the origin runes we have been studying in Genesis. All they would need to do is figure something small out and we would have more trouble." This was more likely since the mages that the demon lord had in his army would act as researchers.

"And this library, if it is related to the ruins they found we are going to have to take it in to our own care. If he does anything, we will need solutions to fix it." Scylla knew that knowledge was power. It was the exact reason that she and Walker had gone to scout ahead.

"'Let's stop here. I can see the group." Scylla stopped with Walker as the night had set in and the moon risen. The group found them standing with serious expressions.

"I really don't like the way that you are both unhappy." Remey knew that this meant a fight. It also meant trouble.

"We have a lot to talk about. But first, we should get more organized, we have to take that village before the soldiers start dividing up the people as servants." Walker was as clear as he could be about why they needed to be quick.
