She planned to tell the jumper about my Hescos. What would the result be? Of course ton of sh*t messages sent over and a great headache that I wouldn’t get easily rid from.

I would never accept such a fate! No! I shouldn’t allow this to happen!

“I won’t surrender!” and as if she read through my thoughts, she screamed while jumping off my chariot, going to hers in a flash, “I won’t let you lock me up like what you did with Hilary!”

“Just wait! Let’s speak about it!” I hurriedly chased after her and for a reason, her chariot’s speed started to increase!

It wasn’t a boost in speed, it was her unexpected change in course, making it harder for me to corner her.

“Stay away! Don’t come near! I will tell him if you don’t give me a share!”

Dammit! And here I was getting extorted out in daylight!

“Fine! I’ll give you ten thousand to act as your personal guard,” I had to agree or else she’d cause a disaster!

“Only ten thousand? Tsk! You are really mean and stingy!”

“You’ll also get warriors! Don’t be greedy or else you won’t get a thing.”

“Warriors? How many?” as she heard about this, she suddenly shouted, “I want soulers! Lots of soulers!”

“I’ll give you enough.”

“That’s… Great! But I also want more warriors. Soulers alone aren’t enough.”

“I told you already, you’ll get warriors in addition to Hescos. So stop this madness and come to my chariot to keep talking!”

“Let’s sign a contract first!” she shouted as she kept her chariot slipping from mine.

Damn girl! “Are you not trusting me this much? Come on! For real!”

“Coming from the one who forces others to sign contracts, humph! I trust you, but won’t trust your greed for power! You are a lord, and lords can’t be trusted. Sign or I will tell that jerk about your little secret!”

“Fine!” I gritted my teeth, “fill one and send it over!”

It was my first time ever to be pushed and forced to sign a contract with someone against my wishes. Damn! How come this girl turned out to be this fierce?

She must have learnt from the master!

“Hahahaha! I got them, hahahaha!” as I signed the contract, she finally stopped this madness and returned to my chariot.

And on her face was such a big grin and her laughs didn’t stop for the entire ten minutes!

“Is having them this big? I feel like you won the lottery!”

“What does lottery mean?”

“You… Don’t tell me you don’t have a lottery at your home!”

“Well, we might have one but with a different name. Anyway, it’s indeed great! You just don’t know how damn hard it is to fight one of these bastards! They are invincible! Literally invincible!”

“But… This… I heard that Toranks are much fiercer!” I was surprised by her words. But as Hector, one of the big three races, she got to know Hescos better than I.

“Toranks are stronger, but that’s regarding early stages of the apocalypse. When we reach mid stage, it would be the playground of these Hescos. Not even the mighty Toranks can hold a candle for them!”

“This… Then that means they are the strongest race out there?”

“Oh no, their supremacy and advantage will all stop by the end stage of the apocalypse and beyond. Toranks are fiercer and more dangerous in general. But in mid game… It’s really unfortunate to have Hescos as your enemy.”

“I see… So it’s good that we’ll move at them early on, right?”

“Very great indeed,” she nodded and that made me wonder why they were this fierce at mid stage.

“Don’t ask,” as if she read through my thoughts, “I don’t know such info for sure. In fact, no one other than those who directly fought them knew about the reason behind that.”

“Hmm… That makes our meeting with them more exciting, right?”

She got my meaning. I wasn’t referring to those Hescos fighting at other worlds, but the ones I’d get from Toranks.

“Sure, but we need to think about how to select forces to train with them… Actually, I lack any valuable intel about how they fight. So…”

“We’ll have to wait until we get them before we decide, right?” I got what she meant, but I also added, “we also can do it this way… Let’s select the best out of our forces. Not just good ones, the best! Out of the entire grand armies we have, I refuse to believe we won’t amass at least one million of them.”

“One million? Humph! If we just select those who stayed behind the longest, we will get much more than a few millions!”

“That’s… Great,” I nodded, “start amassing them. You need to replace them with others, and leave instructions to keep an eye over the good ones all the time.”

“And I got to start deploying these,” she took out one monster den and raised it in her hands.

“And I got to install these,” in return for her move, I took one disc out.

“Hahahahaha! Ok, let’s do our jobs then meet here when you are ready.”

“Good luck,” I watched her move away while the scenes of me chasing after her all over the place were still vivid in my mind.

It was hilarious, and it managed to remove all the sad thoughts I got after that talk with Hilary.

Once recalling her, I couldn’t help but shift my eyes towards the lower sections of my chariot. From her intense response, it seemed she didn’t regain all of her memories yet.

I meant that new demoness soul memories. What I saw in that flash was a glimpse of a true life.

Was this… Hell the true life of those demons? If so then I could only pity them, and aim to kill them all!

But thinking back to my Hilary made me feel conflicted. She had nothing to do with what happened to her.

And she wasn’t a true demoness either, nor a human as well.

What should I do with you, my troublesome chick?
