The Demon King System
Isabel's Concerns
“How is Miss Helen? Is the Flanagan Nobles Family interested in his Magic talent?” Pitung glanced at the smiling Helen Flanagan staring at Salsa.
“Of course we are interested and will definitely guarantee his family will prosper with the Noble Family of Flanagan,” sahut Helen Flanagan, “but I am curious.. Why don't you recruit him into your Noble Family?”
Pitung smiled and said, “I'm not a member of the Nobles.. I'm just an ordinary resident who gets the luck of being an Adventurer!”
Helen Flanagan finally understood why Pitung showed Salsa's magical talent to her. However, he did not expect an ordinary resident like Pitung would become a Rank S Adventurer at such a young age.
“Alright, after the Orc research mission is completed, we will bring Salsa and her family to the Flanagan Nobles family!” helen Flanagan said again, while Salsa seemed confused because he did not understand what was being discussed by Pitung and the beautiful woman next to him.
After talking for a long time, Pitung and Salsa decided to return to the Donovan—— house outside was also dark, Isabel must be worried about Salsa who never returned.
To light up the path to Donovan's house, Pitung tries out his new Skill; a Low-Level Magic Manipulation.
The light magic was impossible for him to do because the former Demon King did not worship the Goddess of Light, in order to light up the path he was trying to perform the Necromancer Magic.
The Level 30 Firefly Beast appeared before Pitung which made him very happy, as he was able to use the Necromancer Magic even if only a low level Beast could be summoned.
Pitung concluded, The Magic Manipulation Skill is the greatest Skill because he is free to use any type of Magic as long as it is endowed by the Dark God.
“Can I do Magic like this if I become an Adventurer?” Salsa looked interested in the Firefly Beast lighting their way.
“Of course you can, but you must train diligently first in the Royal Magic Academy!” pitung Sahut.
Salsa smiled brightly, happy to hear it because when she grows up she will become a Witch like Pitung.
The expression on Isabel's face seemed agitated standing at her doorstep. When he saw Pitung and Salsa arrive, he immediately ran up to them.
Her tears welled up her face and stammeredly said, “My husband has not returned yet, Mr. Zagralaas! Is it possible that the Orc had kidnapped her?”
Pitung was surprised to hear it and also thought the same as Isabel.
Salsa, who wanted to show off her new dress, seemed confused to see her mother crying hysterically and said her father had been kidnapped by Orcs.
He had heard from his father that the Orc was terrible, the Orc was a giant that ate humans and if he saw it he had to hide or escape.
“Aunt Isabel take Salsa to Adonara Village and report to Adventurer that I will find Uncle Donovan to the river!” pitung sahut cast a Magic Necromancer spell calling the Firefly Beast again.
“Is it okay for Mr Zagralaas to go alone?” Isabel is worried that Pitung will disappear as well as her husband.
...***...
The adventurers who were guarding the Wood Tower thought Pitung was returning to Adonara Village again because the Firefly Beast was approaching towards the village gate.
However, he was surprised that it turned out to be Isabel's wife Donovan, a worker who lived in the farm area.
“Mr Jack...my husband has not returned after going fishing into the river and currently Mr. Zagralaas has gone looking for him!” Isabel complained to the Adventurer.
Jack frowned at Isabel's words, as David Guetta and three of his companions also accompanied Donovan to the river and they did not return.
Jack's mind immediately suspected the Orcs might have been teasing them. He immediately descended from the Wooden Tower.
“Come to the Village Chief's house reporting this incident, Adventurers from Meteor Guild will definitely help Adventurers Zagralaas find your husband and Chairman David!” jack looked pale so worried.
...***...
Pitung found no trace of Donovan's whereabouts while tracing the banks of the River even though he had walked almost Three Kilometers from Adonara Village.
“How can a large-bodied Orc leave no trace while walking on the banks of the River that has this muddy land?” he murmured while thinking what he would do.
His eyes were then fixed on the Spear that was stuck on the surface of the ground across the small river.
He recalled that the Spear belonged to Party colleague David Guetta and he recalled that Jack said they followed Donovan to the river.
This time Pitung thought Donovan could not have drowned in the river, he and the Adventurers might have been ambushed by Orcs.
Pitung watched the Virtual Panel before him to see the amount of Mana he had. He had already used Necromancer Magic twice and it was draining quite a lot of Mana.
“It seems like it is still enough to use the Necromancer Magic again and fight against the Orcs until reinforcements come!” muttered while chanting Magic Necromancer, “God of Darkness Almighty Owner of Everything... Your servant borrowed the Necromancer Magic: Come the Devil Wolf Flock!”
Seven Level 30 Wolf Beasts appeared before Pitung, their bodies shrouded in blue flames that emitted a pitch-black smoke.
“Sial! Summoning these Seven Demon Wolf Beasts cost 700 Mana!” grumbling Pitung sadly had lost 900 Mana overnight and the rest of his Mana was now only 3100 Mana, while until now the mission of the Demon King System had not been triggered. “You find out who killed or kidnapped the owner of this Spear!” he said to the Seventh Beast Demon Wolf.
The Demon Wolf Beast kissed the Spear and immediately scattered into the Forest across the river.
Pitung let out a long sigh while looking up at the starry night sky. He could not imagine Salsa's reaction later if Donovan was not found, whether his sweet smile would disappear and whether it would interfere with his development in learning Magic later.
