The Great Demon System

Chapter 192: Janitor

That would be a valid option and save him from the execution block. And it would also bring shame upon the families of the dead students due to the disgrace their children did since they would have not only ganged up on a single person for an ambush but also failed miserably doing so, all of them being swiftly deleted with no trace left of their bodies.

Still, that meant that he would also undoubtedly make many new, powerful adult enemies who wanted either him dead or ruined which was less than ideal.

He had already made more than enough noble enemies during his stay at the Griffith family mansion when he had won against all odds with not 1, but 2 separate yet massive bets.

His only other option to prevent such an outcome would have been to throw the blame of their deaths onto either Jason or Nags, he couldn't care less about them and it would save him most of his current headaches. However, that would have been an even worse option.

To go up against the gang, he needed as much power and knowledge as he could muster, and he would be lying to claim that Jason and Nags were not 2 gold mines of both strength and knowledge, throwing them away would be akin to blundering a queen in chess, only this time there were 2 queens instead of 1.

That was also the reason that he now more than ever wanted to turn Ray into a demon, his skills and expertise would undoubtedly become a great asset but he was not sure how he would react to his proposal of turning him or if he should just knock him out and turn him by force. Either way, that was a problem for another time, he needn't worry about it until he got out of the forest.

Moby inwardly nodded as he stared back at the grass underneath him where all the blood and teeth used to be only for him to find no trace, making him inwardly smile as he shifted his gaze towards the forest in the direction where the waterfall where he froze Jason was located, making that the next area he sucked dry.

'Lord Moby, I have finished informing him and had just relayed your orders... he should be there in 1 or 2 minutes,' Jason reported using mind-link like he was talking on someone else's behalf, most definitely talking for Nags since he had yet to remove the silence command from him.

With that news, Moby was now safe to leave with no real concern towards his unconscious family members.

However, right before he was ready to sprint out into the forest at his top speed, Moby's advances were suddenly and abruptly interrupted by a sound that had once again rung in his head. Yet, this time it was not the deep shaky voice of a young man, it sounded like the suspicions of a soft womanly voice, a voice unique and unmistakable to his ears.

'Hey, I just thought of this… I was also watching that memory of Alex's with you, and I noticed that it seemed like HikariYami might have completely forgotten about Renren…' Avilia stated with skepticism.

'Renren?' Moby asked, making him raise one eyebrow up trying to understand who or what she was referring to.

'Yeah! Renren! Maybe she accidentally left him laying on that tree. The little kid that was with HikariYami, the kid that passed out from a fake punch, foaming from the mouth. His ability was kind of a bootleg version of your inspect skill since it allowed him to gauge the strength of his opponent without the need to look at their watch which, for humans, was both useful for beast hunting and exploring unknown planets. The ability was pretty rare so he should be worth at least something to them right? Not to mention the fact that he seemed fairly close to Hikari Yami, he might know some things that Nags and Jason don't, assuming that he's still there of course,'

Moby took a 5-second pause trying to wrap his mind around what Avilia had just said. This was seemingly her first-ever time trying to help him or guide him about anything related to his personal goals. Usually, she would have chosen to stay silent and not interrupt in order to gauge his decision making and see how worthy of becoming the demon lord he was. Hearing her trying to give him advice gave him a slightly warm feeling in his now freezing heart. The last time he had tried to ask her for advice back during the exam with Natalia, she had just simply refused to help in order to see how he would choose to act if she had not even existed. However, now things were different...

It was like she now truly saw herself to him as a friend and a partner, it further proved her trust and faith in him that had already been very profound before.

'Renren…' Moby thought, trying his best to remember such a name or person from the quick, brief moments of Alex's memories before it finally hit him in the head.

'Renren!!' He thought once more, only more enthusiastically than before, his eyes growing wide, shifting his focus from the waterfall all the way towards Alex and Abby's battlefield where they had fought the puppets that were located directly behind him.

'Thanks for the suggestion Avilia, I had completely forgotten about him! Hopefully he's still there!' Moby said, thanking Avilia with a mellow smile, leading to her giving him a mental nod and a thumbs up before he sprinted away at his top speed, leaving his friends behind to be watched by Nags who along with Jason, could not help with clean up since they had yet to learn spacial magic.

Now he could both check if Renren and Abby's undead were still there in addition to cleaning things up from the inevitable blood sprayed on the ground.
