Chapter 565 Victory
-----
BAAAM!
The gigantic, ten-meter big body of the Aberrant Beetle Beelzefly fell into the ground. His Demonic Soul devoured by the spear before I could even do much with it, this damn weapon does whatever it wants sometimes…
Crack… CRASH!
Suddenly, the Demon Gate closed, as if it was never there. The remaining living Insectoids were thrown into panic, as they desperately tried to go back to hell, but there was no going back now.
"T-The Boss's dead?!"
"B-Beelzebub! Lord Beelzebub, please help us!"
"How can they be this powerful?!"
The Demons struggled to believe their current situation, but it wasn't as if we were going to let them live long enough to know what was going to happen. Although nobody else than me could understand their words, and perhaps Erdrich, as they only spoke on Demon Tongue. So for everyone else, it sounded as if they were just groaning.
"GRYAAAAAHHH…!
…
Ding!
[You and your Party defeated [Demonic Lesser Beelzefly] x9!]
[You and your Party defeated [Demonic Beetle Insectoid] x7!]
[You and your Party defeated [Demonic Mosquito Insectoid] x5!]
[You and your Party defeated [Aberrant Beetle Beelzefly] x1!]
[EXP has been multiplied thanks to [Hard Worker]!]
[You earned 940000 EXP!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 25 to Level 27!]
[All your Stats have increased.]
[You gained Stat Points and Skill Points.]
The EXP given wasn't as much as the one I got from the Red Orcs, but that was to be expected, they were not as many after all, even though they gave a lot more EXP than normal Red Orcs. Still, I managed to get 2 Levels out of this as well, so it wasn't bad at all.
"Hahh… W-We're finally done…" Sighed Erika.
"This was the worst… Just how unlucky are we to suddenly get a Demon Gate in our Dungeon Exploration?" Elizabeth sighed.
"I heard it happens at random, so we can't really help it. If it was in the surface, it would had ended in minutes with the teachers and strong adventurers, but inside of dungeons it is harder to get help." Eric said.
"Well, it is better if we defeated them ourselves." I said. "If we had asked help to Evelyn for example, we would had automatically lost all our progress, even if it was a Demon Gate."
"Right… I bet she would had asked us to do it again anyways." Said Chris.
"More importantly, should we get going? This places reeks at Demon Blood and Orc Blood, I really just want to take a bath." Sighed Elfriedden. "We should still report this to Evelyn though.
"Yeah I agree, those demons were weird too, I heard them talking sometimes. They were saying something about… "Asmodeus" though I don't even know who they were talking to?" Erdrich wondered, crossing his arms.
"Perhaps that's whoever they serve, or something." Erika shrugged. "Not like it matters now that it gone. I've heard that areas where there was a Demon Gate, there can't be one in months, so this place should be safe from another one at the very least… Ugh, I'm so hungry…"
"Very well, let's get going for now. We can have a bath and then eat to our heart's contents. With how we cleared everything quickly, we'll probably get a perfect score." I assured everyone, as we slowly made our way to the entrance of the dungeon.
Thankfully Erdrich didn't seemed to have understood what the demons were even talking about completely, so he didn't quite get that they were referring to me. He had never been the "thinking type" either way, and he's a very straightforward fighter, so that's reassuring.
For now, it would be convenient they don't learn anything about my past, though it is annoying Beelzebub's targeting me already and all his stupid demons call on my previous life's name. I'll just have to shut them down before they spill the beans anyways.
I don't know what exactly he is planning, but it certainly doesn't involve me, I am someone that got in the way. Perhaps he's planning on destroying this place, which is like a factory that produces powerful people that stops the demon invasion from spreading.
Nonetheless, it is his sect the one that's doing stuff behind the shadows. There's a big possibility that something like a Demon Gate Break might happen once more, but in the surface… an even bigger one, and perhaps even provoked by the cultists.
If I go by the most simplistic things they want, I would bet they're trying to gather enough souls and materials to summon Beelzebub to this world directly, which is probably what he wants as well.
How they're going to do it? Well, the Demon Towers are like the anchors of the Archdemons in other worlds. It is their way to anchor their influence and power, and also, a way for them to be summoned into this world.
If the Demon Towers gather enough power, they are not only able to summon demons endlessly, but the Archdemon that controls and created them can be summoned. Archdemons are immortal and selfish beings, they find amusement in invading other realms and adding them to their collection of conquered worlds.
This way, not only can they find joy in their monotonous lives, but they can also continue to grow stronger. The more worlds archdemons conquer, the more power they can draw from them, and the higher they might rise in the hierarchy of the Archdemons, all seven of them constantly fight for the throne of Hell.
Lucifer has been merely the one that has maintained the throne the most, but the others are still planning to usurp it… I have to take advantage of these conflicts between Archdemons. Perhaps I could even find a way to convince one to work with me to defeat the other's Archdemons Cultists.
Though seeing the memories of my previous self, Asmodeus tortured them all so much they absolutely despise him… it would be hard to find a way to make one my temporarily ally.
