Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 189 - Stealing A Kill

Two carriages were parked down the hill near the mountain. It was a moonless night, and everything was dark.

The door of one carriage opened, and Rosemary jumped out. She glanced around the area and started walking, although she was stumbling on every step as though she was half asleep.

She walked to the other carriage and banged on the door, but no one opened it.

She banged again, but this time, loudly.

The door opened, and Nero came out.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

Rosemary tripped and bumped into Nero's chest.

Nero furrowed his brows and uttered, "You came to the wrong carriage. Arnold is not here."

"Arnold is not here!" Rosemary yelled and passed out.

"That's… what I just said," Nero muttered.

Confused, Nero activated and looked in the carriage: "Sleeping drug?"

He looked at Rosemary's body and saw the same thing.

After carrying Rosemary to her carriage, Nero placed her in and closed the door.

"That Arnold… he mixed sleeping drugs in the food and went off somewhere," Nero muttered.

Nero had a heaven-defying physique, so poisons and drugs did not affect him; however, it wasn't the same with everyone.

Nero was awake not until long ago, but he wasn't aware that Arnold had left.

If Arnold had a little bit of magic, Nero would have sensed it if he had gone far from his sense of the field. But he didn't, so Nero couldn't know Arnold had left.

"I should have guessed that Arnold was planning something like that," Nero muttered.

Ever since they left the inn— 7 days ago, Nero couldn't focus on anything.

Princess Astrea was inhabiting Asteria's body, and Nero wasn't sure what to do. He had never thought something like that would happen.

And because of that, he hadn't done any adult activities with Emilia and Sophia either.

He was scared of losing Asteria, but he didn't want to lose Princess Astrea either.

"Just when everything was fine, shit started happening," he muttered in annoyance.

SIGH!

He sighed and uttered, "I should focus on Arnold for now."

"Where did he go, and how long has it been since he left?" he wondered.

He looked up at the sky and groaned: "Great! No moon."

Nero thought he would look at the moon to know how much time had passed since they ate, but there was no moon in the sky.

He jumped to the sky and flew higher— above the clouds.

"Let's see. If Arnold left now of all days, that must mean this kingdom was his home. So he must have gone to the palace." 

"But alone… Seriously? I knew he was stupid, but I had no idea he was this stupid."

"There is no way a single man…" he stopped and scoffed, "He is a kid, not even a man."

"No fool would go to fight the entire kingdom alone; no matter how powerful one is, one can't win if he is outnumbered."

"And that fool is not even strong," Nero added.

Nero flew to the palace but stayed above the clouds so that no one could see him.

He looked down at the field and saw hundreds of dead bodies of the soldiers.

"Oho!" Nero was impressed.

'He managed to kill this many soldiers, alone?'

"But where is he?" He wondered. "I can't see him."

'Maybe he already reached inside the palace and killed that knight?'

New hovered over the palace for a while and waited. He activated hai god's eyes and saw something that piqued his interest.

"Interesting," he muttered.

He then flew to the top of the castle and broke through the ceiling of a room.

Upon glancing around the room, he saw a throne on which a man was having an orgy with the seven maids.

'A throne room, huh?' he wondered. 'Arnold is not here.'

Nero smirked and uttered, "So I have hit the jackpot, eh?"

"Wha—!" The man turned around as the maids trembled in fear and shock.

"Who are you—!"

Before the man could make any more noise, Nero choked the man from the neck.

He glared at the maids hiding behind the throne and snapped; their bodies exploded and their body parts splattered all around the throne room.

Nero furrowed his brows at the man and smirked: "So I was sensing the core power from you, aye?"

"Who are… you," the man struggled to speak.

"My name doesn't matter." Nero gripped the man's neck tightly and uttered, "You are that traitor knight, am I right?"

"My name… is Boris! And I will kill—"

"Don't worry. I am not going to kill you; Someone else will, though."

Nero moved his other hand to Boris' chest and extracted a blue-colored core from his body.

He looked at the core and frowned.

"Fake… artificial… core," he muttered in annoyance and crushed it in his hands.

The core resembled Nero's core in affinity level; when Nero used his god's eyes from the sky to scan the palace, he thought one of his cores was here. But upon touching the core, he realized it was fake.

"I said I wouldn't kill you, but now I am angry," Nero asserted.

Nero never planned to kill Boris as he knew Arnold wanted to kill him, but the fake core angered him, and now he wanted to give him a sweet and painful death.

He glared at Boris and asked, "Any last words?"

"I am the strongest—"

SIGH!

Nero sighed and pulled Boris' head out of his body.

He threw the headless body to the ground and grabbed the head from its hair.

"How am I going to explain this to Arnold?" Nero wondered.

CREAK!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening.

'It has a magic lock around it, and when I snapped to kill the maids, it broke.'

The door opened, and Arnold came inside by dragging his body on the ground.

"Yo Arnold! You are on the ground again, eh?"
