Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 181 - Sterilized, Starting Area

"How do I know that I can trust you? You could just kill them the moment I get to you, right?" I asked, and Neft's face distorted into a smile filled with sharp teeth.

"Think of it this way. Most of the women and the missing ones that I have been trying to find and kill for the last thirty-odd years are at the beach working on some strange metal shell. I should be killing them, but that will just end up getting me into a fight with someone that is very angry and unreasonable," Doa explained.

"What do you hope to gain from talking to me? Do you think I am going to spare you after all that you have done and are still doing?" I questioned, and Neft's head nodded to me with an understanding look that annoyed me.

"Yes, I do see where you are coming from, but it is a matter of view, my boy! In this life, a demon has one task. Conquer until there is nothing left, and then we all move on! But if we die, that doesn't happen until we are born again! I don't really want to leave, so I will offer you a deal if you are willing to speak with me. If not, I will just kill all your pets, and you can come, and we can see who wins," Doa said plainly to me.

[You don't have a lot to work with right now, but it really doesn't matter what you do. He can attack the girls at any time, so buying some time to think might not be such a bad thing.]

It was true, but my head was a storm right now; this was the worst possible situation and something that I had been worried about. I would have to comply, but I would also need to figure out what I could do to stop the guaranteed betrayal.

"Look, I know this is a bit of a surprise, but I will show you my good faith, and I will light the beacon, so you know where to find me. In a show of good faith, I will give the memories taken back that this sack of shit took for his games," Doa said to me suddenly, and I jumped back as Neft started to glow blue.

Thousands of lights shot up from Neft's head and shot out in every direction, filling the sky with light. This carried on for almost a minute, and I looked back down at Neft's body and then watched him reach up and tear his own throat out.

"S-See… S-S-oo-glug…" Dao said as Neft bled down the front for himself and then fell to the ground, twitching as more of the dark blue liquid leaked out around him.

I shouldn't have been surprised by the act, but I was. Even though I had planned on killing Neft, seeing him being forced to tear out his own throat gave me an idea of the person I was facing.

[Hard what you should make of him.]

'What do you mean? He took Mex, and he had the rest of them under watch and waiting to pounce on them!'

[Maybe at the Keep, but if the majority of them are together, I don't think we need to worry that much. You do remember the beach, right? All those demons we like lesser versions of Neft and Mex, and there are very few other sky blue Demons. The girls can more than handle themselves.]

That was a good point, but that still left Mex and the ones at the keep.

[Again, this is I am not sure what to make of the current situation. None of what Dao has done benefits him other than making you come and talk to him. If he was going to play a trick, then why would he take a male of all things as ransom? Think about it, why not at least take one of the girls?]

That was a fair point.

'So what? I just walk in there, and what? Make a deal to let him live after everything?'

[I really don't know yet. I think you will have to wait and see, but there is something I wanted to mention about the Orgasmoura that might be of some use.]

'Oh? I am listening.'

[When you activate your Impregnate Skill, it is having an adverse effect on all the male demons. At first, I thought it might just be something to do with you, but the seed that leaked out of him was not right, and I assumed it might just be something to do with him. I have been monitoring things since, and I have found the same thing with all the Demon sperm that you have come near.]

'What did it do to them?'

[In a word, castrated.]

'Really? Now isn't that just the damnedest thing? So the demon women are changed back, but the men are sterilized? While I am sure that most might deserve it, this doesn't feel right.'

[I agree, but if it stops the demons from reproducing, this could be a secret way to keep one up on Dao. This will also keep the Demon farms from continuing, and they will be forced to adapt to the new lifestyle.]

I turned and walked back to my Hellbat and tried to pull it out of the ground, but nothing happened. More like I wasn't strong enough to budge it, then I slowly started to feel my connection to… everything came back.

When I had lost the connection to my Shaman Class and System, I had been focused on finding Neft and hadn't really noticed. Now I could feel the world coming back to me, and then I could feel Hanna.

'I am going to have to go and see her, and then send her to the Keep with Kali, and then we head for the final confrontation.'

[If you think this will be your final confrontation, then I think I need to explain something to you, Mr. Zack. If you have ever played any game in your life, then you should be familiar with the concept of a starting area. Everything on this island is at its weakest form.]

...Oh.
