Chapter 192: Gluttony!
Traps, screams, despair, and horror.
Thanks to the various arrangements Elric had made in death valley, the numerous amount of demons was gradually dwindling
With the continuous blood flow and series of death with the failure to pa.s.s each trap, the valley finally began to leave up to its name
Valley of death
However, even if that was the case a singular question appeared in most of the demon"s minds
"Who is this human, and what does he want?"
Yes, most of the demons who had entered death valley in one way or the other have come to know the existence of Elric and his apart I"m everything
From the mysterious gate leading to the outside world in his possession to the fact that he was the one who spread this baseless rumour about the blood ruby"s existence
And given the fact that most of these demons had lived for hundreds of years, how couldn"t they see that Elric was planning something notorious.
However In order to be the one welding and final owner of the blood ruby"s power
None of the demons chose to return, rather they all continued to press forward as if they were unaware of Elric"s plan
However, even at that the demon"s situation soon became seriously worse.
Now a week had pa.s.sed since the full-on invasion of death valley, and the death toll can be said to have been phenomenal
With things like various infightings occurring in different places, to millions of demons losing their lives to Elric"s arrangements.
Just judging by the situation alone, it wouldn"t be too long until the demons were completely exterminated as a whole
In fact, not only Elric thought this but also many demons alike
After all, as members of the said race, they were more than able to tell their current condition
And due to this, almost every demon knew their chances of getting the blood ruby were minimal at best
However, this wasn"t the case for too long.
Two weeks into the constant battles and traps, Unknowingly a new rumour had begun to spread
According to the rumour, the reason why Elric did all of this was to get the abyss demons to kill themselves and spill blood
Then long as enough blood has soaked the land the blood ruby would naturally reveal itself
This rumour based on its level of realistic nature soon spread like wildfire through death valley
After all, if this wasn"t the case then why did a human plan such a thing
Leak the ruby"s location
Purposely lure and trap them here in this death valley
Just thinking of it made almost all the demons sure that this was the plan Elric had in mind
However, even if that was the case, one question still bothered everyone.
"Who spread the rumour?"
Like all rumours, it obviously had to have a source,
Unfortunately, no matter how much the Demons collaborated and searched, no results could be found.
It wasn"t until it reached the point that someone proposed it to be Elric that spread the rumour that these demons started feeling afraid
After all, if this were to be true then so far their lives had been completely played in the palms of a human"s hand
Just thinking about this sent shivers down the spine of all the demons present.
"Hey Baphomet, you should know about that human, what is he like?"
Looking at Baphomet who had a gloomy face with arms crossed, a slime giant slime abyss demon wiggled opposite him expressing his thoughts
"d.a.m.n baster what is that meant to mean, are you trying to say I"ve been in cahoots with that human?" Shouted Baphomet
Listening to the slimes words, Baphomet who was already on edge quickly suddenly out
Seeing this happen, the slime didn"t move an inch but calmly waited for him to calm down
As for Baphomet, while the slime remained silent he began clenching his fists.
Just thinking of everything that had happened this past week, it could be said that Baphomet was already on brink of exploding
And unfortunately, all this stemmed from Baphomet"s first surprise attack on Elric when he entered the abyss
The demons after getting the information of that attack, one by one started capturing him and investigating all information he had
Especially once when he was caught by an abyss prince in charge in h.e.l.l fire and burnt alive throughout the whole day
All so he could confess the location of Elric which he had no idea about. freewebnove(l).com
Now one week later, and finding himself sitting beside gluttony the slime prince here
Baphomet couldn"t help but lash out at them due to stress from the previous investigations
Thankfully perhaps it is because of his slime nature, but out of all the abyss demons princes, gluttony can be said to be relatively calm one
In fact, according to rumours Baphomet once heard, gluttony might be the clone of mammoth trying to gain the devouring authority
Just thinking of this made Baphomet who had just finished lashing out scared to pee
"Oh? Have you finally calmed down?"
"If you have then, please tell me everything you know about this human"
Wiggling slightly, the blue-coloured slime demon prince conveyed its thoughts to Baphomet through its mind.
Seeing this, Baphomet who had begun to wonder how it talked couldn"t help but scratch his head embarra.s.sedly
However, after laughing for a bit, he quickly shook his head
*You idiot! Don"t forget the one before you although a slime is also an abyss demon prince!*
*If you don"t want to find out why it got the name gluttony then quickly answer his questions!*
Talking to himself, Baphomet quickly realised this wasn"t the time to play and quickly composed himself ready to speak
"Sigh… here goes nothing!"
Taking a deep breath, although still slightly nervous Baphomet faced him gluttony with a fierce expression
"Lord gluttony, please forgive me"
"Although I do not know much about the human, but I"ll do my best to inform you on all I can!"
Saying this, Baphomet begum to narrate all his encounters between him and Elric.
