MMORPG: Rise of the Peerless Pumpkinmancer

Chapter 161: Use A Devil To Slay A Demon!

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

The Village Chief struck, and the villagers screamed in fright.

"Nooooo!" But it was far too late.

His mighty fist connected with the magical circle and crushed it. As soon as it was breached, the whole thing lost its glow, and all hell broke loose.

The devilish demonic mana was akin to a drop of ink in milk as it spread everywhere, corrupting all. There was no hiding nor running from it. They could only brace themselves.

"Let's see how bad this thing fucking is!" The Chief cackled as the dark energy engulfed him.

So what if he had to fight a devil?

As long as the Demon perished, it was fine….

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

He found himself in his village, with the I.R.L. members cheering for him. The D.L. members were all kneeling at his feet, exactly where trash belonged.

"C-chief, would you like to eat a grape?" A beautiful brave girl shyly asked him on the side.

They were all at his beck and call, ready to do anything for him. Had he ordered them to die for his sake, they would have complied.

The Chief closed his eyes, showing a peaceful expression, enjoying the moment. This was life!

In the background, a devil couldn't believe how easy this was! If only that guy had been the first to enter! But then the village chief opened his eyes again….and walked away!

He was heading in the distance, completely ignoring the questioning gazes of his valiant subordinates and the begging looks of the little minxes.

"This place sure is nice, but this village isn't mine." He sighed profoundly.

He may have been hungry for wealth, fame, and power, but he wanted it to be real.

Perhaps in another life he would have been tempted, but compared to the Demon King's dastardly schemes, this illusion felt sorely lacking.

But just as he was heading away, a group appeared in the distance. It was Lead, always ass-kissing yet reliable.

He proudly carried his spear in one hand and forced a prisoner to walk forward with the other.

"Chief! You're here! Look who I found lurking around our village! This fool thought he could save his men! Hehehe, D.L.'s leader is a complete buffoon!!" He guffawed.

"Good work!" The Chief nonchalantly praised.

The Demon King had wounds all over his body. Blood, snot, and tears stained his face as he crawled on the ground, begging for his life.

This sure was a lovely sight! It was even better than a thousand goddesses attending him. Sadly it was all fake.

At first, the Chief hadn't understood, but now it was apparent: the Demon King was insane. Fighting with him would only end up with both sides scarred. After all, he would never give up.

Had the Chief known, he would have never forced him to remain in the village. He thought he could control him, force him to serve him, but he had been dead wrong.

Curse that one Dragon brave who had convinced him that it was a good idea! Restraining him? Sure, but at what fucking cost?!

He gave a self-deprecating smile as he crushed the fake's throat, casually watching the life leave his annoying eyes.

What was the point?

"Devil, why don't you stop wasting our time and show up already?" He called out to empty air.

The Devil couldn't help but shiver, even with its incorporeal body. It suddenly felt so naked when faced with those crazy humans.

The air in front of the man rippled as an entity made of dark energy suddenly materialized. The Chief couldn't help but chuckle.

Just standing up to a devil would have been praiseworthy in normal circumstances. But at this moment, he did it so damn easily. After all, his mind was only occupied by a cold rage.

He wanted revenge and his village back.

That was all he desired at this moment.

He would make them all pay!

He would rule again!

The Devil felt fear as it saw the man's heated gaze. It was as if the human wanted to devour it alive! What the hell?! This was supposed to be the other way around!

"W-what are you looking at?!" The incorporeal Devil stammered.

"Vengeance. I'm looking at vengeance. Now, what will it take to get rid of that fucking Demon King?" The Chief grinned.

The Devil shuddered once more. This guy was crazy, so damn crazy! In the man's eyes, it saw unbelievable hatred.

It seemed like they shared a common enemy.

At this moment, the Devil couldn't help but wonder how things would have turned out had this guy come earlier.

In any case, the Devil would do what the Devil did best:

"Do you wish for power? Do you wish to rule above all living beings? As long as you—"

"Let's hurry up. I don't have all fucking day. The world can be yours, but the village is mine and mine alone to rule. Do we have a deal?" The Chief cut it off.

"…."

"Deal or no deal?"

"D-deal…."

The Devil teared up: this contract wasn't much of an achievement. This guy was just using it!

At this moment, the Devil felt like a worthless cum rag.

Infinite sure was a scary place…

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

As the Chief returned to his senses, he felt his body brimming with power.

Demonic energy was coursing through his veins, noticeably empowering his body. Basking in the devilish mana felt even better than a spa!

But he knew that all this power was temporary. It was nothing but a taste of what was to come. There still remained one last step.

A being of darkness slowly materialized next to him: the Devil was here. The Chief knew what he had to do if he wanted to keep this power. He would have to bow to the Devil.

He didn't mind either. He would rather rule above all but one than to lose everything. As for the harm that unleashing a devil would cause, he couldn't fucking care less!

"Kneel and profess your loyalty…." The creature uttered in a deep voice.

The Chief didn't even hesitate as he got on his knees, even smiling.

"I Conrad Dupli hereby swear upon my soul to serve the de—"

"The devilishly handsome being standing before me." The Devil strangely corrected him.

So what if he had to kiss-ass an eccentric devil?! He was taking down that fucking Demon King!

"I Conrad Dupli hereby swear upon my soul to serve the devilishly handsome being that stands before me. In exchange, I—" Light flashed.

Just as he was about to list his conditions, the oath activated. At the same time, all the demonic energy left him, leaving him frail.

How?! This shouldn't have been possible! Devils weren't supposed to be able to go back on their words!!!

"W-we had a deal?!" The Chief stammered.

"We? Nope. Never heard of it!" The Devil denied, but then he showed a look of realization.

"Ah! I think you have me confused with someone else." It chuckled.

That's when the dark entity trembled, slowly disappearing as if a mirage. In its place appeared a man gently smiling as he sat on an engraved wooden throne.

The Demon King's smile looked so peaceful.

The Chief felt his heart freeze as he realized what he had done. Confused by an illusion, he had just sworn allegiance to the Demon King.

Fuck! He was screwed!

"Now, shall we get started?" Jack Motherfucking'O playfully uttered.
