Inside the improvised wooden house in the Joe's alliance's camp, Blake was sitting on a leaf bed, while talking with Joe and Abel.
He had already removed most of the poison before and the remaining was naturally expelled during the night. Therefore, Blake is totally healed.
"Great! Now that you agreed, I will give you some information about them." Joe said to Blake before continuing:
"The Five Crazy Demoness, as the name revealed, are five crazy girls.
The first one, you already met, is Tansy, the Poison Demoness. She usually poisons people to "death", that's the origin of the title.
The second one is Chiki, the Bloodthirsty Demoness. She is a transmorth that researches transforming herself over other people by copying their DNA. So she drains people's blood until they are forced to teleport to use as "study material".
The third one is Aurora, the Seductive Demoness. She is a life mage, that instead of focusing on using natural life energy, she steals others' life energy to strengthen herself. She uses seductive arts in order to attract her prey, as a succubus or a mermaid.
The fourth one is Mallory, the Misfortunate Demoness. She is a martial artist, but she tries to pick a fight just for fighting. She surely is the craziest in this group.
Her fight style is too abnormal and after bringing together the report of her victims, we noticed that all of them said they were unlucky during the fight, as if anything that had the small possibility to fail, failed. We concluded that she is the one causing this bad luck, and that is the reason for her title.
The last one is Vasha, the Demoness Queen. She is a mind mage, and every report said that all the demonesses follow every command she makes, that is the reason for her title.
Moreover, there isn't much information about her. People reported that once they looked into her eyes, they woke up back in the castle hall. Sometimes due to poison, sometimes due to blood loss, sometimes due to life energy loss, it is always a different reason."
"They do look difficult to deal with," Blake commented.
"Yhea, good luck on it," Joe said with a joyful face to Blake.
"But, if they are so ruthless, don't you think that our image may be damaged by recruiting them?"
"Don't worry. They didn't kill anyone yet. So, it won't affect too much."
"They didn't kill because the token didn't allow them to do so."
"Still, they didn't kill. Besides, they also prey on monsters, which are viewed as good by others.
So, just focus on recruiting them, I solve the rest."
"I got it!"
"Meanwhile, me and Abel will be searching for talents to recruit. Good luck, you surely will need it."
Joe and Abel turned around to leave when Blake said.
"Wait, do you know any hobgoblin village nearby?"
...
Somewhere in the MA, near LA, there is a cave filled with life and plant. There are also some big wooden fences to divide some different rooms.
From the entrance of the cave, there is a highway with the entrance of a room from each side near the beginning of the highway and near the end of the highway. There are four different rooms in total.
At the end of the highway, there is a big open space with some remaining of a campfire in the middle.
Moreover, after this hall, there is more wooden fence separating another room.
In the middle of the hall, five beautiful girls are chatting and eating their breakfast.
Two of the girls, including the one that attacked Blake last night were chatting on one side, while the others were talking on the other side. But they weren't totally separate from each other, just a few distances to talk about different topics.
"What happened Tansy? you seem distant," One of the girls said to the girl that attacked Blake.
"It's just that yesterday when I was preying on a random boy, my ability suddenly looked so useless... It didn't affect his pet.
Moreover, that guy that used to be in our group appeared and could easily dispel my poison cloud... I felt helpless," Tansy replied showing sadness and disappointment.
The other girl stopped to think for a moment and then replied:
"At least you know where to improve.
What do you think of me helping you capture the boy and his pet so you can discover why was your poison ineffective."
"That would be perfect. Thank you Vasha!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall.
"And then I took that kobalt's arms and suck it inside his... you know where." One of the girls, with colorful hair, and the right eye green and the left eye yellow, said.
"Mallory, you are too brutal... But tell me, does the life energy dispelled from the arm when you did it?
Because it was still technically part of the kobalt, right?" The other girl, who had a very beautiful and seductive appearance, with long and wavy red hair, dark yellow eyes that match her hair color, and clothes that shows a bit too much of her gorgeous body, said.
"Come on Aurora! Of course, the energy dispelled, dummy! But all that blood streaming must have been a glamorous view.
I hoped we still had cameras to take pictures and save those scenes forever." The one who replied this time was the last girl, which was a bit smaller than the other two, who have a normal woman's stature, moreover, she was dressed in a crimson red dress equal in color to her hair and eyes.
"For this, we don't need cameras, Chiki. Isn't it just reproducing the same scene with the next kobalt we found? It is not like we can differentiate each one of them either way..." Mallory said while laughing.
Then Chiki started too laughing along, while Aurora just smiled a little awkwardly.
"What are you all laughing about?" Vasha asked while smiling for the cheerful mood.
"It is just Mallory telling us about her adventure yesterday," Chiki answered still laughing a little.
"Ohow, I'm curious, was it more or less brutal than the day before yesterday?" Vasha engaged in the conversation.
"More... I don't even know how can this girl be so creative when 'Fighting'," Aurora answered with a sarcastic smile, gesturing the quotation marks in 'Fighting'.
Vasha smiled helplessly for a while, before continuing.
"Sorry for interrupting the mood, but I just talked with Tansy and she told me about a pet owner whose pet could resist her poison. We plan to capture him so she can study his pet.
But she mentioned that he is with friends. So I want all of you to help us capture him."
"Sure, can I extract some of his blood to study?" Chiki answered.
"Yes, but let me extract it. I fear you will force him to teleport if you do it yourself." Tansy answered.
"Ok..." Chiki answer a bit depressive.
"So, it's settled. Let's hunt all together today." Vasha concluded the topic.
...
After a bit more than an hour, Blake arrived at the location of the hobgoblin village in LA, near the MA.
Blake still had his undead tiger, undead snake, and undead mosquitoes. So he decided to use them to take down the village and turn all of them into his undead.
Even though none of his undead could match a hobgoblin in a direct confrontation, he was confident that with a strategy he may be able to take the hobgoblin down easier than imagined.
Moreover, he decided not to use the undeads in the cave because that goblin leader and hobgoblin will be useful to his research and he need to ensure that they won't run away.
To conclude, slaughtering this village and transforming them into undead would give him more confidence in confronting the Five Crazy Demoness. Hopefully, it could even give him an upper hand in the negotiation about joining the alliance.
