Chapter 1: Awakening
[Demon King Apollyon Has Awakened]
Huh, where am I and what's this about a demon king?
Ugh anyway how do I get out of this dark place?
[Time Until Descension 6 Months]
What? What Does this mean?
[Skills : [Create Demon:Lesser],[Create demon:Greater],[Heartless],[Composure],[Immortal Soul],[Mana Sense],[Telepathy]
[Species : [Demon King]
[level : 1]
Is this me?
I recognize this layout from a book one of my friends made me read. It was a pretty good book, but I think they called it a status if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway what do these skills mean, I mean create demon is pretty self explanatory but what about the others?
[Heartless] : Prevents one from feeling emotions such as sympathy, empathy, compassion, etc.
Hehe, how convenient. I said with a bitter laugh.
[Composure] : Keeps one calm in even the most dire of situations
Huh, I guess that's why I'm not freaking out right now despite what's happening.
[Immortal soul] : Makes soul nigh invincible.
That's pretty vague if I'm being honest, and the description isn't very helpful but hopefully I'll be able to figure it out eventually.
[Mana Sense] : Allows for Sensing of Mana.
Seems to be useful considering what my species is now.
[Telepathy] : Allows for telepathy between souls.
I should guessed.
I should try using [Mana Sense] first. I focused hard on trying to use the skill and after a few minutes I could see giant spots of white in my completely dark vision as well as a few smaller white spots around the bigger ones.
What is this? so these white spots are mana obviously but what does this mana belong to? Does it belong to mana rich areas, monsters, people maybe? And I guess I can assume mana is white colored.
Waiting here isn't going to make me learn anything new and I might as well fiddle around and learn more since I apparently have 6 months until I descend, Assuming that means what I think it does.
And so I do the same as I did with [Mana Sense] on [Create Demon:Greater] and I think it worked since I feel relatively drained after doing so. I imagine I'd only be able to do that 4 more times before I would need some rest. What A pitiful Demon King I am, only able to create 5 greater demons before needing rest.
Anyway I spawned the greater demon next to one of the smaller blobs, and I order it with [Telepathy] to go investigate.
You Have Received The Skill [Shared Sense]
While messing around with [Telepathy] and [Mana Sense] I managed to combine the two to create [Shared Sense], and while using it I can see grey outlines with white in the middle of them. I assume these to be animals that my demon passes, mostly because these outlines closely resemble the shape of animals. I can also see the outlines of the trees but not very clearly.
Suddenly the greater demon attracts my attention by sending its intentions through my telepathy link, since it cant speak it can only communicate with its feelings and intentions. But I digress, the demon told me there were walls, I have no clue how it knew what walls were since its intelligence seemed limited, but hey at least its not completely stupid.
However it seemed that my demon wasn't the only one who noticed the other party. The guards at the gate of these walls started shouting and pointing at the greater demon. It didn't take long for more armed guards to come out from the gate.
"The demons have arrived! A messenger need to hurry and deliver the message to the nearest city so the king can send the army!"
The one who looks sort of like the leader of this group shouted to the others while another nodded and went back inside the gates, there's probably another gate on a different side. Anyway its seems they already knew that demons would come at some point, and they don't seem to like us. But I should of assumed that.
The guards started preparing to fight the demon. Hey is my greater demon so weak that they have the confidence to defeat it? They're only some guards at some town, not any elite royal guards or something! or is it that they feel they have no choice but to fight it?
Oh, well they really have no choice now. This guy wants to eat them, and I can tell he wont back down even if I tell him to. I guess this is sort of beneficial to me since I can see how strong this greater demon is.
It seems the natives of this world also possess skills. I saw a couple of them using skills to increase their speed or attack speed. Seems like very basic skills, although I have nothing to base this on, its just they don't seem very good for a magic world.
The greater demon went into this fight with no plan at all, but I can't expect much with its intelligence. Although its trading blow for blow seems to be working pretty well since its killed almost half of them now. Maybe it knew it was stronger than them and could afford to get hit. Also it seems [Heartless] works, I don't feel anything seeing members of my former race die because of me.
A few of the guards ran away, not that I blame them that demons probably really scary, plus with their friends dying. But with a few running away more will follow suit, something to do with human psychology.
With the rest of the alive ones running away I told the demon to leave so it wouldn't go and kill the next person it saw, but it didn't forget to pick up a corpse and bring it with him. Seriously, this guy, are all demons this troublesome?
With the demon retreating back into the forest ensuring the safety of innocent civilians I deactivated my new [Shared Sense] skill.
So most likely these white blobs I see are cities, towns, and villages. Of course I can't disregard mana rich locations or monsters. But logically people wouldn't build towns and cities around a place with large amounts of monsters, nor would they leave a mana rich area alone. They would probably build their capital there, and if there monsters there they probably wouldn't build towns and small cities around it even if it was mana rich or if they had a way of containment they might. So logically most of these white blobs should be human settlements. especially that big one right there, that's most likely a human capital.
Of course I wont neglect this and will check just to make sure but I'm almost entirely sure I know what the outcome will be.
