"Aura, I have discovered that I am a fool who only knows how to fight."
"Don't say that about yourself. I think you are very smart, Nanoda."
"Really?"
"Of course. You are smart enough to realize that you are a fool."
"Aura, I really want to hit you."
The two Demons embarked on a new journey.
"Aura, the Hero gave me a wake-up call. I want to change the status quo of the Demon Race."
Hearing these words from Nanoda, Aura looked at her with disdain.
"You really have gone mad. Being able to survive at the hands of the Hero is already good enough. Who do you think you are? The Demon King?"
"Eh, Aura, you really are a genius. The Demon King... why didn't I think of that? The Hero can use his strength to deter the Demon Race, so wouldn't it be fine if I commanded the Demon Race? Once we have the power, how about we get Humanity to come and negotiate for peace?"
"I feel like it would be better to just kill them all."
Aura curled her lips.
"But I am a pacifist. There are many aspects of humans that the Demon Race cannot match, and we need to utilize them as well."
Nanoda frowned. Having been human in her past life, she did not want to slaughter innocents indiscriminately unless her life was threatened.
"Then how about undoing my Magic of Obedience and enslaving them all?"
A fierce light revealed itself in Aura's eyes; she was serious.
"Can you enslave the Hero?"
"No."
"Can you enslave guys with powerful willpower?"
"Not really."
"Is your mana enough to enslave all of humanity?"
"Seems like it's not enough."
"Can you teach your Magic of Obedience to me?"
"This is exclusive to me, I can't."
"Aura, you are so useless."
"Hah?! Believe it or not, I will chop off your head!"
This time, it was Aura's turn to get angry.
"Come on then, let's see whose head falls first."
"Woo woo woo, you are bullying a Demon!"
Aura, who had been jumping with rage, suddenly became depressed. Her dignity as a dignified member of the Seven Sages of Destruction was shattered all over the ground.
Just as the two Demons were chatting and walking, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the bushes on both sides.
"Halt! Leave your toll money behind for me!"
The leader was a large man with a cockscomb hairstyle, holding a long saber. His figure was tall, with exaggerated muscles exposed on his upper body; he looked to have some strength.
Seeing Aura and Nanoda, whose faces were covered by black cloaks, he laughed mischievously and stuck out his tongue to lick his somewhat dry lips.
Behind him followed a dozen or so people, all looking fiendish, each holding a sharp weapon in their hands.
"Wah, Aura, it's bandits again."
Hearing the crisp female voice emitted by the petite Nanoda, the cockscomb-headed large man shouted even more excitedly.
"You two little wenches, if you don't want to die, hurry up and hand over the road toll to me!"
"Wait, are you a noble?"
"Huh? How is that possible?"
"Do you have any immediate noble family members or relatives?"
"No, my ancestors have been bandits for generations!"
"Do you have any real estate?"
"No, we live in caves."
The cockscomb-headed large man didn't know why he was answering so cooperatively. Having been a bandit for so long, this was the first time he had met someone who came up and conducted a census on him.
Hearing this, Nanoda clapped her hands and spoke to Aura beside her.
"We met real bandits this time."
Seeing Nanoda chatting with Aura without any panic, veins instantly bulged on the cockscomb-headed large man's forehead.
"Are you damn well looking down on me?! You still have the leisure to chat?! My big saber doesn't have eyes!"
After saying that, he waved the long saber in his hand fiercely at the empty air, making a whooshing sound.
Seeing the large man operate like this, Nanoda fell silent for a moment.
"Hahaha, now you know fear, right? I've changed my mind! I want both the money and the beauty now! Boys, intercept them and take them back to the cave to enjoy!"
"Hehehehe..."
The group of lackeys behind him immediately beamed with joy, laughing strangely as they surrounded them.
"Hey, Nanoda, can I kill all these blind guys?"
Killing intent flowed from Aura's purple eyes. If not for the orders of Nanoda's Magic of Obedience, she would have wiped these guys out long ago.
"I'll ask you one last question. Have you ever killed innocent people?"
Nanoda ignored Aura and the crowd surrounding them, asking the cockscomb-headed large man in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha, I've even eaten human meat, how could I not have killed innocents..."
Before he could finish speaking, the cockscomb-headed large man only felt a chill on his neck.
Unknown when, Nanoda had already flashed behind the large man, the broken horn in her hand already stained with a few drops of blood.
"I will accept this malice."
The hood slowly fell, and Nanoda revealed the broken horns that symbolized the Demon Race.
The cockscomb-headed large man suddenly opened his mouth wide, reaching out his hand as if to cover his spurting throat, but his body gradually began to lose control, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.
That group of lackeys, seeing their boss suddenly fall to the ground, were all stunned on the spot.
At this moment, Aura also pulled down her hood, revealing a pair of beautiful large horns.
"It's the Demon Race!"
Someone in the crowd screamed in fear. Seeing their boss instantly killed by a Demon in one strike, those bandits scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the woods in fear.
Because of the Magic of Obedience, Aura could not harm humans, so she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these weak guys.
"Not chasing?"
Aura asked aloud.
"This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Their actions, aside from that definitive malice, are no different from hunting Demons. Let's consider this a lesson for now."
Nanoda reached out and released fire magic, burning the corpse to ashes.
"Truly unexpected. No mercy at all."
Aura looked at the burning corpse and spoke expressionlessly.
"Well, guys like this kind of scum have no value even if kept alive. To be honest, I'm quite familiar with killing people."
Nanoda was equally expressionless.
"Then why did you spare that group of guys called Aaron back then?"
"They didn't count as thorough evildoers. I suppose this is a human way of doing things."
"I cannot understand."
Aura shrugged her shoulders.
In Aura's mind, there was no distinction between bad people and good people; humans were merely her prey.
"Mmph mmph mmph..."
Suddenly, some movement came from the grass where the group of bandits had originally been staying.
Rustle rustle.
A guy who was tied up firmly wiggled out from the grass. His mouth was jammed with a massive apple, so he could only make "mmph mmph" sounds.
When he saw the bandit leader's corpse about to be burned to nothing and those two Demons, his eyes widened in terror, and he forcibly twisted his body, wanting to go back into the grass again.
"Eh, there is a male human."
Aura reminded Nanoda.
Nanoda also discovered this human who was desperately drilling into the grass.
"Seems like he's also a priest."
That man was wearing a simple priest's black robe, and hanging around his neck was a necklace shaped like angel wings; this was what priests who believed in the Goddess's religion would wear.
