"Everyone, follow if you need assistance. Everyone is gathering in the Stone Chapel district." He shouted, bringing hundreds more people out of hiding.
"The Darklight Host ca to save the Sprawl? Praise the Gods." One of the old Demons was shouting, which brought everyone out into the streets, startling the group that was with Karl.
{Are your people famous?} One of the lizardfolk asked.
Remi nodded happily. {We do a lot of charity and outreach work, and we commissioned the building of this apartnt complex. Most of the people in town know our Guild, and the average power level in this city is much lower than your own.
Although with the System in place, almost everyone has so level of combat skills.}
The Demons that the other Myth had brought all looked confused.
"The overseer of this Mortal World allows you to learn combat skills? What if you try to overthrow them?" One of the obsession Demons asked.
Karl laughed. "Do you think that anything we have could overthrow a Supre Ranked Chaos Dragon? But she doesn't actually rule the planet. She just does her best to keep anyone else from bothering her.
I don't know how they managed to break through today, but soone will pay dearly for that offence."
The Demon looked shocked. "Lord Oobleck has a Supre Ranked master. What if he shows up here?"
"He already did. Supre Lady Matilda took the fight to the Chaos Plane, and from what I have gathered, she is in the process of turning him into Calamari."
The Demon looked confused. "What is a Calamari?"
"Chopped, breaded and deep-fried octopus."
The Demons looked horrified, and the locals from the Sprawl began to laugh.
"I see that they've truly t the Darklight Host. Don't worry, foreigner. You'll get used to them if you spend so ti in town.
Nothing scares the Darklight Host.
If you can convince them to take you in, they might even be able to fix whatever is wrong with your System Interface." One of the locals, a
Commander Rank Incubus who worked at one of the casinos, inford them. "System?" The Demon asked.
"Oh, we've got so much to teach you about. How do you feel about living in a world without Immortals oppressing you? We can teach you to fight back and use numbers to overco their power advantage.
Your forr Master, Oobleck, ran away to keep from becoming part of the nu today. If he dares to co back, we will do it again." Karl suggested.
The lizardfolk Shamaness frowned. "What sort of creature could even dare to eat a Cephalopod?"
Karl shrugged. "Well, I would. Then there is the Chaos Dragon, The Badger, most of the other dragons and dragonkin. Probably the Wrath Demons too. Even if it's super spicy or tough to chew, they're always up for a challenge."
The lizardfolk giggled. That was true. The Wrath Demons that the Immortals kept for the arena were always causing trouble. So of them even needed to be kept chained when not in the fighting ring so that they didn't attack the overseers.
A mont later, the Dark Elven Kings appeared with a whole line of Obsession Demons and wolves. All of them were wearing the sa slave collars, but these were now attached to an Elven steel chain, and marched along by the two Epic Golems.
"Are you taking prisoners now?" Karl asked as they approached.
"Well, they're not edible, so we didn't kill them. But they're from the invasion location. Can we keep them?" The Elf asked hopefully.
Karl knew that the Dark Elves had even worse intentions for prisoners than Rae usually did, so he just shook his head.
"Hand them over and I will explain the situation. Finish the cleanup, and then you can et with Lady Rae for the final tally."
The Dark Elven Kings handed over the chains, while the new prisoners stared at Karl in horror. He didn't feel like an Immortal, but his aura was terrifying. "If I remove the chains and collars, can I trust everyone to behave?" Karl asked. One of the wolves ca to bump up against his leg, and Karl laughed. They weren't a Divine Beast species, just the Immortal Realm's equivalent of Timber Wolves. But the Immortals had still collared them to keep them from advancing or learning skills.
However, in the presence of a Beast Master, they were just animals.
He needed to introduce them to Lotus.
Karl [Nullified] all the collars on the Wolves, and Remi quickly moved them all to her space, while the collared Demons watched in awe.
"That's all it takes? How do you even do that? They're made by the Immortals?" One of the Demons asked.
Karl shrugged. "It's one of my many skills. Now, can I trust you all to behave?"
The Demons nodded eagerly, and Tian laughed in his space. [They're so excited to be free. I can't wait to see what we can train them to do. They look agile, maybe we can have Sister Rae train them into new Rogues?]
That might just traumatize them even further. But it would be suitable for most of them, once Karl found out what their Obsessions were.
They all seed to co from the sa pale violet skinned lineage with curled ram horns. So, they might share similar Obsessions. However, if they were being bred by Immortal Octopus monsters, there might be sothing strange about their lineage as well.
Most dosticated species were chosen for desirable traits, and none of these showed the rebellious nature of soone who had been captured as an adult
should have.
So, they were likely born in the Immortal Realm, and not brought there after a
raid like today's attack on Drodh.
One after another, they dropped to their knees in the rubble.
"If you will free us, we swear to follow you faithfully, Lord Karl." They spoke in
unison.
[Dammit, I should have co back to make them do that.] Cara complained.
But she couldn't leave yet. The Supre Ranked invader had been chopped into seafood snack packs by Matilda, and the Supre Lady was napping while she recovered from her wounds and absorbed the life energy of her fallen foe.
If Cara was right, there was a good chance that the Supre Lady was about to advance and beco a Legend.
