The War of the Demon Controllers
Arc 1 Rescues Riel

Chapter 7's

The morning had arrived, the entire army was busy waking up all the slaves. Daedalus and his family woke up. Especially for the birthday celebration of Lord Puqress, all slaves are welcome to bathe and change clothes.

Daedalus gathered with other slaves in a nearby river. He met Yogot and Lupan. Lupan whispered something to her.

“Everything is ready, Daedalus. Everyone wants to join forces and end Lord's slavery to us.”

Daedalus was happy to hear that. Since last night they were making plans, Yvonne had brought some of the heads of the slave families and showed them the captive Gallam.

“We have killed three of them and what is the difficulty of killing another dozen? With your help we can!” yvonne's Speech.

Fortunately, Yvonne's speech was successful and it seemed that the entire slave whom Daedalus had met nodded his head at him. Stepping it off at once confirmed they were on the same side.

Soldiers came to give them new clothes and all the slaves put on their new clothes. Was it the first time Daedalus had worn clean clothes after months or even a year? He doesn't remember very much.

They were taken to the Lord's House. He saw Yogot, Tael and Lupan in his back row. And there is also Toras who has cut his hair to bald, leaving only his white beard. The figure who introduced him to the Pomegranate Jewel looked fresh unlike last night, he was also happy.

But he didn't see both his father and mother. He wondered inwardly did they help Yvonne prepare the horse to run away? Daedalus hoped that. He hopes everything will go well. They then entered the Lord's Residence.

The Lord's residence has a wide hall with one throne. In front of the throne is provided a table with birthday cake. On the side of the table has been prepared a bed, where Lord will celebrate his birthday with ‘gift’ the slaves.

Several fellow Lords and other nobles lined up at the guest table while the slaves were welcome to sit on the floor. Shortly after they marched, the Lord came in his magnificent attire. White, sparkling and beautiful.

Everyone applauded, Daedalus said. Lord Puqress laughed as he waved his hand. “Hahaha! It's the best feeling.”

On the side can not be separated also from the figure of Rouf and Touf, the two most loyal twin guards. He had spoken last night about Rouf and Touf to Toras and Toras was confident he could handle both bodyguards. But given that having the power of the Pomegranate Gem is only Toras and Daedalus, Daedalus is confident it will be a balanced or even difficult fight.

Not that Toras would not give the Jewel of Pomegranate to Tael and the others, but Toras said he did not have a Low Devil that could be controlled by Tael, Yogot or Lupan. Giving an Intermediate Demon to an inexperienced Demon Borrower would only make the Pomegranate Gem the same as an ordinary stone. Finally they and dozens of slaves present carrying the knife they kept at the waist— were neatly covered by their jerseys.

“We will start the birthday celebration to our thirty Lord.” An academic became a speaker. “Before Lord do the candle blowing and do the celebration with ‘gift’nya, first let's listen to Lord who will tell you about how he can achieve long life and his noble story.”

“Hoho, you are so kind,” said the Lord. “It all started when his father was my father, and his father was my father, who was a merchant who went around here and there, but one day he had a—”

For a while, Daedalus listened to the story of how the Puqress family rose from the merchant life to the nobility it is today. He did not care about the story, he just waited for Riel's arrival and waited.

After a while, Lord Puqress finished telling the story of his nobility.

“Finally done too,” complacently Yogot next to Daedalus. “she thinks she matters what?”

Daedalus nodded silently listening to Lord Puqress' next words.

“I have terrible news, heard there is a Devil Controller who managed to enter the city of Libbam,” tell Lord Puqress in a sad voice. “They managed to kill 3 dear warriors of our city and absorb their souls to the end. How horrible! There is even one soldier missing and still in search period.”

Lord Puqress looked down miserably. Yogot asked Daedalus. “Do you think Lord is really sad?”

Daedalus was uncertain, but the Lord Puqress he knew was not a figure who cared for his subordinates. “Entah.”

This is what Daedalus and others are waiting for. They'll be storming soon when the girls are within reach. Rouf and Touf went to the back door and before long they returned with three girls. They looked neat, beautiful and beautiful with luxurious clothes on their bodies. One of them is Riel.

“Now?” ask Yogot. Daedalus saw that Lupan was also preparing to strike at any time to help his son. But this is not the right time.

“Not yet,” replied Daedalus. “we have to wait for them apart from Rouf and Touf.”

Lord Puqress spread her arms welcoming the girls. “Come my dear.” He clenched the three of them at once with his fat body. The girls snuggle up unhappy. Lord Puqress led them to the bed. “Let's get in bed and we'll do the celebration.”

Lupan was getting restless. “When Daedalus?”

Rouf and Touf were still too close by the Lord's side. If they were to make a move now, then Rouf and Touf would realize it and successfully take the Lord away or worse, bring Riel and the other girls away.

The girls were laid in bed. Lord Puqress laughed cheerfully. Rouf and Touf retreated away from the bed and joined the slave line—gave their Lord the spotlight he needed.

“Now?” ask Lupan again.

Daedalus took out his dagger and enveloped his body with the power of the Slimonoid Demon Lending. Then he exclaimed, “NOW!”

Simultaneously after Daedalus shouted, the entire slave pulled out a dagger and started attacking. Those who were marginalized stabbed the soldiers and nobles who had not even had time to react. Blood was spilled everywhere. Some of the soldiers who noticed it fought back from both sides. While the other slaves charged forward to the front row, trying to the God.

“We will behead you Lord Fatty!” shouted a child.

“Ah, what is this!” Lord Puqress was shocked. Riel and the other girls were the same.

He advanced at the front with a dagger in hand. Rouf welcomed his arrival and his spirit. But in one basic sword move alone, Rouf decapitated the slave with his greatsword.

“Touf secure Lord!” rouf's orders.

His twin brother complied and ran to the Lord, but Toras disguised as a slave was suddenly present in front of him. In Toras' hand was a sword that was covered in fire, as well as his entire body. That must be the borrowing power of the Pomegranate Gem he had.

“Your lord will die here,” said Toras casually. Lord Puqress was frightened while hugging Riel.

Touf raised his greatsword and then flicked it around. On the hilt of his great sword was the Pomegranate Gem, instantly, Touf's body was covered in bluish water elements. It was the power of Touf's Pomegranate Gem.

“Air or Fire will win, old man?” reply Touf. “I think you know the answer.”

Toras knew his fire demon would lose to Touf's water demon, but his steady horses did not say he would lose easily. They both have skills.

On the other hand Rouf decapitated one by one the slaves who came towards him. He still used ordinary sword techniques, yet every slave that came attacking him with a small knife had sent him to the afterlife.

Daedalus came by borrowing the entire power of the Demon Slimonoid. Moving faster than ordinary slaves and in spite of the slave's indiscriminate attack, Daedalus managed to implant a stab into Rouf's stomach. Rouf choked on blood and he immediately slashed the sword towards Daedalus, forcing Daedalus to retreat.

“You okay?” yogot asked Daedalus, Tael and Lupan were by his side. Daedalus answered with a nod.

Rouf saw his twin brother also having trouble fighting Toras with the power of the Pomegranate Gem. “I did not expect there would be a Devil Borrower among the slaves,” he said. He stroked his greatsword—which contained the Jewel of Pomegranate on the handle of the sword. Slowly his body was shrouded in frozen elements, emitting a chill and enveloping his body like an iron armor. “But I will show you the difference of a Low Devil without elements like you with a Frozen Devil like me!”

Rouf's aura felt so different from before he borrowed demonic power. Now even Daedalus gave him goosebumps, but both Daedalus and Tael, Yogot and Lupan prepared to fight his fear. Surrounded by slaves and other soldiers who were busy fighting each other, the battle stage was left to the five of them. Daedalus resisted his goosebumps and began to attack.
