Chapter 86: Evil Lurks On The Streets

The streets of Aquinas were filled with demons as they fought against the few soldiers that were still alive. The soldiers were being pushed back relentlessly by the demons and a lot of soldiers have already died because they were not able to keep up with the tactics that the demons were using.

The civilians in the city had all been taken to the bunker for them to hide, but the soldiers didn't know how much longer they can hold the demons back. If the demons continue advancing at this rate, then the demons will eventually get to the bunker and kill the humans that are there! There won't be any safe places left in the kingdom!

Ophis walked down the street of the kingdom calmly while looking around. She was still in awe of everything happening. She didn't know who was leading the army of demons, but she couldn't deny that the person was a genius. How did the demons learn all these tactics? When Ophis was the leader of the demons, the demons were very reluctant to learn anything and they wouldn't use tactics no matter what she did! She thought that the demons were just too stupid to use tactics and she didn't bother trying to teach them anymore.

Ophis didn't know that the demons didn't want to learn the tactics because they didn't see her as their true leader. The demons are only subservient to their demon lord and even if Ophis was the daughter of the former demon lord, she still wasn't a demon lord. It is already difficult for Ophis to command the demons to attack with reckless abandon, she could never teach the demons to attack with tactics when she is not their true leader.

Ophis turned around a corner and she paused as she saw a group of humans hiding inside an alleyway. It was a family of three, a mother, a father, and their little daughter. Ophis immediately recognized the man as one of the merchants that sold in the marketplace. Ophis still had her hood up so they couldn't see her horns. The man looked at her in apprehension as he drew his family closer. He was very cautious of anyone because of the number of demons around.

Ophis just turned around and walked back the way she came. She left the alleyway and she saw a group of goblins looking around for any other humans. Ophis called out to them and the goblins turned to her with a snark!

The merchant's eyes widened when he saw what she was doing! Why is she calling goblins!? Is this woman trying to get them killed!?

That is exactly what Ophis was trying to do.

Ophis didn't have an ounce of sympathy for humans. Both her time as the demon lord and her time as a beggar has made her hatred for humans rise to a new level. She didn't want even a single one of them to remain alive in the kingdom!! Ophis took down her hood to show the goblins that she was one of them and she pointed the goblins toward the alley. The goblin walked closer as they peered into the alleyway to see the humans huddling together in the dark and their faces split into sinister grins!

The goblins looked at Ophis again and they wondered if it will be okay to attack her as well. But she is a demon and the demon lord told them to only kill humans. One of the goblins bumped the shoulder of another one and he nodded towards the alleyway. They couldn't kill Ophis since she is one of them. The demon lord's orders are absolute and they cannot disobey him. The goblins all grinned as ignored Ophis and they started to move into the alleyway with bloodlust coming out of them in waves! All the goblins were at least C-class and they would be able to handle the humans easily!

Ophis turned to leave as she heard the shout coming from the alleyway! The merchant was begging her to come and help them as he tried to fight off the goblins. He wasn't strong enough and one of the goblins easily killed him. The females were screaming at the top of their lungs and Ophis knew what would happen to them, but she didn't care about that either.

Ophis forgot about them as she focused on finding the leader of the demons. Ophis was sure that there is a new demon lord and she couldn't be happier! How long has she been waiting for a new demon lord to show up!? After Ophis lost her father, she had to pretend to be the demon lord and she hated it! The demons didn't respect her and they only followed her because there was no one else for them to follow!

The reason why Ophis led the demon army was that she didn't want the humans to completely drive out all the demons. It was hard for her to see her father's hard work go down the drain like that!

Ophis was sure that she could get a meeting with the demon lord if she asked for it. She was the daughter of the former demon lord so she was sure the new demon lord would not refuse one meeting with her.

If Ophis can impress him and become his subordinate then she won't have to be on the streets anymore! Ophis picked up her pace as she started to go towards the castle to talk to the demon lord! She doesn't care if she has to swear herself to him as his subordinate! She just doesn't want to live on the street anymore!

The demons in the area had already broken through the human army and they were advancing on the churches. The priests in the church were urging the civilians to stay inside the bunkers as they locked the doors to prevent any demon from entering. Freya was also one of the people inside the bunker and she had a worried look on her face as she bit her nails nervously! She didn't know how the demons were able to break her defense so easily. The SS-class defense that she put over the city was easily destroyed by the demons and Freya received a lot of damage from it. Her mana was completely depleted and she wouldn't do any good if she goes out to fight. The only thing she can do now is to hide and hope the soldiers aren't completely useless.

"Priestess, please protect us! My son is sick and we can't run! Please protect us!"

"Priestess...!"

"Priestess...!"

"Priestess...!"

Things like these were constantly being shouted by all the citizens around Freya and after a long time, her stress finally got to her she finally snapped as she shouted at them to shut the fuck up! The shock that passed through their faces was unimaginable! They have never heard the priestess curse before! Freya was not in a good mood and she didn't have the restraint to keep her thoughts to herself!

"If you want to live then don't fucking bother me and run! Do you think I'm some kind of meat shield!? If anyone talks to me again then the demons will be the last of your problem!"

Freya hated these ugly people talking to her like she was some sort of savior for them! This is why she preferred traveling with the hero! At least the hero was reliable and he could protect her instead of relying on her, unlike these fools! These fools can't even do anything! They only rely on her like leeches!

​ "Priestess, I know you're tired, but you shouldn't speak like that. The people here are all depending on you and you should try to raise their morale. Maybe you can give them a prayer to make them calm?"

The person that spoke was the head of Freya's guards. A handsome man with white hair that looked like snow. Freya chose him specially to be her head guard because of how closely he resembled Floid. But this man has none of Floid's character! Once you look past the face, you'll see that he was just a wasted knight that wasn't even an S-class! Freya frowned at her head guard and snarked back!

"If they want prayer then they should pray for themselves! Don't bother me with their fucking problems! You ugly people should just go die if this is how you're going to keep relying on me! Their shouting is giving me a headache!"

The head guard recoiled like he just received a slap! He has never heard that kind of tone on his priestess before! The head guard wouldn't deny that he was in love with the priestess, he always saw her as a kind and gentle person and he fell in love with that side of her. But this new side was throwing him for a loop! This can't be the woman he fell in love with!
