Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Chapter 126 125. Forget It!

Lia slashed one of the shadows of a demon guard secretly while hiding herself. As soon as the shadow was hurt, the demon guard with horns on his head screamed at the top of his voice. When the other guard heard it, he instantly became vigilant. He raised his sword and waved it in front of him like crazy.

"Who's there?! Show yourself!"

Lia clicked her tongue as she whispered, "Like hell, I'll do that."

She sneaked over and hid behind a tree nearby, closer to the other guard who was still alive and looking here and there for the enemy. She quickly used her shadow sword that she had purchased not too long ago and hit the guard's shadow from the pointed tip of it.

The guard screamed at the top of his voice and fell to the ground soon after. Blood soon gushed out of his head.

Lia came out of the shadows. Her gaze was cold as she stared at the dead bodies. Then she raised her head and glanced at where she had arrived.

It was a demonic city, where the demon king of this world was living. Other villages around this city weren't worth visiting. So Lia didn't even show herself or kill anyone else. She simply traveled at the speed of lightning and reached the main gates of this city soon after that.

So it had only been half an hour since she had started for the city area. After killing the guards, she dragged their bodies aside as she tapped to the ground with her sword. Two shadows raised in the air and transformed into two guards who looked similar to the ones who had died earlier.

Lia smiled. "Take care of this place. Don't let anyone find out about me. Get it?"

The guards nodded.

After seeing this scene, Shane was shocked. He stared at the guards and watched as the girl opened the gate and entered leisurely.

"How did you do that?" Shane remembered he hadn't purchased any skill to do that.

"The guards? I have some built-in skills. Don't worry about it."

Shane frowned. Since the last time, his hosts had started to become strange. Was it because he didn't have any real experience of being in the field? It must be because he only had ever had hosts during his institute days. After entering the employment world, things change drastically, making one realize what they learned in schools and universities was just one percent of what they were supposed to face in real life.

Even after death he had to face these troubles. Even though he was already in the university back on Earth, he was had a part-time job too that helped him save some bucks. It was a hard juggle between the job life and studies. Guess he would have to repeat the same thing over again in this world just in an extremely harsh environment.

It was a good thing that his hosts these days were good enough to give him less tension. They all did their job without asking him help. He hadn't even used the body controlling option for two jobs already!

Was this what heaven feels like?

Lia quickly entered the and hid in the shadows. The street was filled with several monsters of different shapes and sizes. Some of them were even chewing someone's legs, raw. Her nose wrinkled upon seeing that scene as she turned away and glanced about

"Let's see. That guy is up on that street," she pointed out to the left side filled with regular demons and shops. "But to get there, we have to cross this sea of demons and monsters coming along."

"I know you can do it," said Shane as he relaxed on the ground and shook the hooded girl's body.

She didn't wake up.

"Awww, I never thought you would be the kind of motivate your hosts!"

Shane suddenly cringed at that. Sure enough. A teenager was simply a teenager no matter how much experienced host she became.

After that, Lia practically went on a killing spree. She used her shadow sword to kill people one after another without letting them touch her hair. She continued her work as she ruthlessly massacred everyone on that street.

Suddenly, a few generals and soldiers rushed out of the palace when Lia was coming closer to it. They all had noticed something like this happening from the watch tower already, and the king sent a few soldiers to deal with the lady.

"Kill her!" The general spoke as she raised his sword.

His entire face was covered with a blackish complexion as his horn shone brightly under moonlight. His entire body was hairy except for his palms and face, looking extremely strange person. He wore golden suit with silver design.

This guy didn't seem to have any fashion sense.

Lia ignored that and continued to kill others ruthlessly. Then she went ahead and killed the soldiers one after another.

"No, where is she? Find her!" The general felt a layer of cold sweat forming on his neck. "Stop her at all cost! It's the lord's order!"

"Tch. Go to hell!" Lia yelled as she thrust the sword to the ground and muttered a spell undder her breath. "Thank you for accompaning me to practice today. I used to think my skills had become rough, but I was wrong. I'm still power enough to deal with all of you alone!"

Shane wasa amazed at how fast Lia's body flashed one after another. And now, she was displaying another powerful technique that she had hidden with her. Energy poured out of the sword and entered the ground, grabbing the shadows of everyone around her in two meters. Then the energy started tearing the shadows apart like it was nothing. After a while, ear-piercing screams could be heard in that area.

By the time she was done, the street and the front end of the palace was filled with dead bodies ruthlessly torn apart. Thick stench of blood and mucus spread around the place. If there was a normal person, she would have puked her guts out just like how Shane did when he first came into this world.

Too bad. Shane had grown accustomed to such a scene and Lia wasn't a normal teenager either.

After getting rid of all the demons at the gate, Shane asked, "What are we going to do now?"

"Leave it to me. Do you know anything about the current demon king of this world?"

"Nope," said Shane as he frowned. Why did he feel like this girl was an encyclopedia or something?

"He's filled with rage. Our goal shouldn't just be to kill him, you know? We have to trigger him into blasting his body. That way, we can get him to destroy this world automatically."

"So he's that powerful, huh?"

"Yeah, but that guy doesn't have an inkling of it thanks to a certain demon lord."

"Are you talking about Dark?" Shane knew that this girl must have been aware of certain things.

So he might as well ask the questions he was curious about.

All of a sudden, Lia's expression turned cold and serious as if she wasn't a girl who had been smiling and killing a lot of people just now. Even Shane felt a chill down his spine upon seeing this scene. He frowned after hearing her words.

"What do you know about Dark?"

"Well…." Shane remembered how his sister had been killed, but he still couldn't help but feel detached as if it weren't his sister in the first place. "He killed someone…."

"Someone? Who?"

Shane quickly changed the subject as if wasn't comfortable to talk about Tess's death. Even though he didn't feel as attached to her anymore, which was entirely a strange subject he needed to think about, she was still his sister. How could he be to cruel and ruthless as to forget that he cared about her once?

He should have been unable to sleep at night because of the loss of a family member, just like how he used to feel after dying. But right now, his situation was certainly strange. He didn't know what to do anymore.

So it was better not to talk about it to someone strange.

"I think Dark must be the one who stole my master's body."

"Oh? You have a master? Good." Lia smiled and said, "So what if he took your master's body? Are you that attached to him?"

"No…." That was the truth that blurted out of Shane's mouth.

Now when he thought about it, he clearly wasn't attached. He was just obliged to them because they saved his life. He didn't want to owe anyone, even to a dead person. He frowned upon thinking of this. He felt a scrary feeling embracing his heart that made him feel aloof from the entire world.

It was as if Shane was standing at one side, looking down at the entire world from the sky.

"Forget it. Just make sure to find the information about the demon lord." Shane changed the subject and stopped talking about Dark.

Even though Lia seemed to know something, he knew she wouldn't tell him about it. So what was the use of trying to get her mouth open? He would end up opening his mouth in the end, telling her about the things that he shouldn't.

Just as he was thinking about it, a roar echoed from inside the dark palace.

Lia grinned. "Let's kill that b*stard, shall we?"
