’Should I break free from the restraints?’ Victor thought as he was dragged towards the cauldron filled with boiling oil. Even though he had no mana and could not use any skills, his physical strength was still here, and he could easily break the shackles.

Just as he was thinking, his instincts flared, and the next moment—

BOOOOOM

A huge explosion occurred suddenly, and everyone’s eyes turned towards the small mushroom cloud.

The leader of the tribe frowned and looked at a guard who was running towards them with a panicked expression on his face. "L-Leader... huff, huff."

The guard panted, and Lance’s face became even more visible as he asked in an irritated tone, "What’s going on?"

"Leader, the royal—" Just as he was about to continue...

BOOOOM

BOOOM

The explosions did not stop as they became more violent and frequent.

"Reinforcements," one of the demon prisoners said as her eyes gleamed.

"Are demons coming to rescue us?" Amber, who heard her words, could not help but ask.

"Indeed, not just any demons. It should be the royal army," the demon said with a look of relief on her face.

"I heard them talking. Is it true you all are humans?" The demon’s eyes narrowed as she looked at them with curiosity.

"What if we are? Are you demons also going to try to eat us?" Valerie said in a trembling voice as she took a few steps back.

"Demons don’t eat humans," Rina said as she rolled her eyes at her.

"Just like the lady said, we don’t eat humans. In fact, other than the darkness attribute and a few physical differences, we are not so different from humans," the female demon said calmly.

"Indeed, we three are all humans?" Valerie said after patting her chest in relief.

"I see." The demon nodded calmly, but they could see her barely concealed excitement, and then her eyebrows furrowed when she looked at Amber. "Are you sure you are a demon and not human? I feel like you are one of us."

Amber furrowed her eyebrows and thought, ’Maybe it’s because of my bloodline.’

Before Amber could respond, they were interrupted by another loud, deafening explosion.

BOOOOOM

Woosh

The sharp sound of an arrow cutting through the air came and pierced the middle of the guard’s eyebrows, instantly killing him.

Bang

"What...?" The leader of the tribe stomped his feet hard into the ground as he stood up, which caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the floor.

"Charge! Save the prisoners!" A sudden shout came from the distance, and the leader’s pupils constricted to the size of needles, and his face darkened with anger as he growled, "Damn, it’s the royal army of the demonic kingdom."

Victor raised an eyebrow when he heard the words of the leader and looked at the soldiers who stormed inside the place and started hacking the devils to death.

"You all kill him. I will go and deal with those bastards," the leader said with a cold look and leaped towards the royal army.

Step Step

"Guys, why don’t you leave me... You would help yourselves," Victor said with a stiff smile as he looked at the dozen of devils, and he used his pupil technique and saw that all of them were at Tier 3. He broke out in a cold sweat. He would not be this panicked if he had mana, and even though he was confident he could easily take on two or three with just his physical strength, he was not sure he could deal with all of them, and also, he could not summon his shadow soldiers or summon his armor due to the shackles.

"Hehe, we don’t think so..." one of the devils grinned at him with malicious intent and jumped towards him.

"What the hell, are you crazy... why are you trying to bite me?" Victor’s eyes widened as he quickly sidestepped to dodge. He was completely dumbfounded and felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the devil soldier trying to bite off his flesh.

"The leader said to kill you but never said we can’t take a bite off you, livestock... I heard from the records that raw human meat is more delicious than cooked meat," the devil said.

Before Victor could even retort, the other guards also had their eyes lit up.

"What a smart move."

"Damn, you are sneaky. I saw you directly try to take a bite off the most tender flesh."

"Crazy." Victor’s expression turned completely cold, hearing their conversation. When had he ever been humiliated? Even the devils back in the game did not show such rogue behavior and did not try to bite off his flesh.

Just as Victor was about to break the cuff and attack them, a sudden notification popped up on his retina.

[Ding Dong]

[You have completed the quest ’Find the way to the world of devils and demons’]

[Rewards are being issued]

[You have received Night Slayer’s Domain]

’I completely forgot about this quest.’ Victor’s eyes widened. He had received this quest to come to this place, and it had slipped his mind. He hurriedly opened the system to check the details of the skill.

Snap

Victor immediately used his physical strength and broke out of the shackles, and before any of the devils could react..

"Night Sealing Zone." Victor looked at the surrounding devils and said in a cold voice.

"Huh?" One of the devils tried to move his hand but had difficulty moving it and muttered, "What’s going on?"

"Ahhhh... why can’t I move?" Another devil shouted in horror when he felt his body turning stiff, and his face turned paper-white when he saw that parts of his body were turning into stone.

One of the devils realized what was happening and looked at Victor with increasing fear and said with a stammer, "Y-You are a Night Slayer, how—"

The devil did not get a chance to complete his sentence as he had turned into a solid statue like the rest of them, with expressions of terror on their faces.

"Why has no one come yet?" The female demon captive who chatted with Amber, Rina, and Valerie was looking at the royal army clashing with the devils.

"Are you saying that army came to save you specifically?" Valerie asked with a glint in her eyes.

"Yes, I am the princess," the woman said nonchalantly, and the girls’ eyes widened in shock as they stared more intently at the female demon. Just as they were about to press for more information, the loud shout of a woman interrupted them.

"Seraphina!"

A beautiful woman covered in heavy armor appeared. Other than her face, everything was covered by armor with glowing runes.

"Mother, you also came?" Seraphina, the princess, had her eyes widened seeing her mother arrive with her army, and judging by the blood over the armor, she had also fought.

’Mother? That means she is the Queen... and so her name is Seraphina.’ Amber thought as her back subconsciously straightened, and she looked at the princess.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" The Queen immediately hugged her tightly and breathed a sigh of relief after she examined her. Except for the mark on her wrist due to the shackles, nothing seemed wrong.

"Hehe, if you were a moment late, I would have turned into devil food," Seraphina said with a nervous smile on her face.

"Now, young lady, how did you get captured in the first place?" The Queen crossed her arms, her eyes boring into her. Seraphina swallowed hard and avoided her eyes.

"Seraphina Luxem, answer my question this instant," the Queen said in a cold voice.

"Fine, fine. I sneaked out to hunt some monsters and got captured by them by mistake," Seraphina said.

Rina, who heard this, had her lips twitching as Seraphina’s words reminded her of her own sister, Eleanor, who also frequently ran away from home.

Then the Queen’s eyes fell on Amber, Rina, and Valerie, who were near Seraphina, and her eyes widened in shock as she let out a gasp. "This aura... they are humans!"

Before she could ask where they came from, suddenly, the Queen’s body jolted, and her eyes snapped towards where Victor was, and they nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw the devils turning into stone and exclaimed, "A Night Slayer? How is this possible!!!"
