Reincarnated as a Blood Demon on Terra? I've Hit the Jackpot!

Chapter 27: (RBT) Chapter 27: Little One, You Smell So Very Sweet



King Crimson has always been the highest quality time machine.

Ascalon and Malfred had been farming levels in Lucifer's starting village for over ten years. Finally, they began to look more like adults. Although their youth had not yet faded, their worldliness and innocence had been completely polished away.

Malfred, who had once been thin and shy, had now become a large man, as befitting a Sarkaz, his entire body full of muscles! As for Ascalon, who had received complete nutrition, she too had transformed, becoming a beautiful older-sister type, standing nearly 175 centimeters tall. It was a pity that her gorgeous figure, which would make even Warfarin burn with envy, was hidden beneath plain, gray and white casual clothes.

Ascalon flicked her wrists, and two extended hidden blades shot out from them. She retracted the blades, then pulled back her white hood to reveal long, wine-red hair. A pair of light brown eyes looked towards Lucifer, who was drinking his blood wine.

"…It fits perfectly. Thank you, Teacher."

The voice of the grown-up Ascalon now carried an extra measure of cool charm. But in the ears of a stranger… it might sound more cold than anything.

Ascalon's equipment was, of course, something Lucifer had requested from Tracy, considered an early graduation gift for Ascalon and Manfred. In addition, Malfred also received a new sacred artifact… a magic staff, a holy relic named the "Root of the Teekaz," which could greatly enhance Originium Arts and magical abilities. However, whether it was truly top-tier was another matter… at least for the old-timers who relied on brute force like Lucifer and the Blood Demon Overlord, this kind of thing was not needed. But Malfred didn't care about such small details.

"This is a great gift, sir. Even I can feel my blood pumping."

"You're exaggerating… it's just a small thing."

Lucifer brushed it off with a single sentence, then drained the Lupo blood wine in his hand. After putting away the empty, clean wine bottle, he spoke in a casual tone:

"As a teacher… I have nothing left to teach you. You two can consider yourselves graduated now."

"Eh?/Huh!"

Ascalon and Manfred, who were still savoring their joy, turned around abruptly. The happy expressions they had moments ago were instantly filled with confusion and shock in the next second.

"But… we haven't even reached half of your strength yet. How can this be considered…" Ascalon was particularly perplexed. Even though her and Malfred's current level of proficiency had earned high praise from Tracy and the King of the Corpse Eaters, they still couldn't stand against a serious Lucifer… and this was called graduation?

Even though her mental fortitude had been forged through harsh trials, at this moment, she began to feel anxious and worried. In her heart, there was a growing fear, as if she were being abandoned by Lucifer.

"Graduating doesn't necessarily mean you have to defeat the teacher… or do you two have the idea of trying to kill your master?"

"We wouldn't dare, sir…"

Lucifer used the inequality to shut them down directly, causing Ascalon and Manfred's excited emotions to quiet down. Even with another ten years, the two of them might not have the determination and ability to kill Lucifer.

And the reason Lucifer did this was simply because the political winds in Kazdel were beginning to shift in a worrying direction. Even though he, Ascalon, and Manfred resided in a quiet corner, uninvolved with the outside world, they could still hear the dissonant sounds of Kazdel from time to time. It seemed Warfarin had also been affected by this, as she hadn't been coming to visit his holy site as often lately.

It was hard to imagine what state of mind Tracy and Teresa were in right now. Lucifer therefore decided to send the now-graduated Ascalon and Manfred to be their lackeys, to experience what it was like to be a corporate slave.

"Besides… it's not like you can stay here with me until we're old and gray, and then see which of the three of us can outlast the others."

"…We really can't?" Ascalon answered naturally. It was unknown if she was calling Lucifer's bluff or if she really thought that way. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pure beauty to her words, which almost left Lucifer stumped.

"That's that, this is this. You can't just cram theoretical knowledge… try going out and facing the outside world. And learn from everything you see. Consider that my final lesson for you."

"..." Ascalon didn't argue anymore. Or perhaps, she didn't know how to argue with him… or perhaps… she still didn't have the courage to speak the thoughts deep in her heart to him. Malfred was also silent, not knowing what to say.

To be in a comfort zone under Lucifer's protection for so long was no different from being a flower raised in a greenhouse… in the end, one could not achieve true growth.

After packing a few simple things, Lucifer took Ascalon and Manfred to the palace where Tracy was. However, along the way… Ascalon and Manfred, who were walking behind Lucifer, were silent, only responding a few times when he asked a question… they had the air of university students nearing the start of a semester, feeling helpless.

How could Lucifer not understand their thoughts and feelings? After more than ten years together, he wasn't so cold-hearted as to say he didn't care about these kids. It was just that being polished by two lifetimes + nearly two hundred years had given him a numb and indifferent attitude towards everything, making him seem so cold.

"Your Highness!" The guard at the palace seemed to be the same ordinary Blood Demon as before. He hadn't grown taller or thinner; he still seemed just as young and gallant, as if these hundred-plus years were just a short period in his daily life… because he was a Blood Demon, a Sarkaz whose basic life cycle could reach hundreds or even thousands of years… And Lucifer? Of course, he was the same.

"Keep it up, special forces."

Muttering something no one understood, Lucifer led his two disciples into the palace. Upon entering, the expressions of Ascalon and Malfred changed slightly. They usually stayed in their own world at Lucifer's old house… the last time they came to the palace was the last time.

However, before they could follow the scent to find Teresa, the current queen of the Banshee Royal Court, Laqeramaline, happened to appear before them. Lucifer blinked… he remembered that she had been almost completely inactive in recent years, residing in the Banshee Valley all this time. So why did she suddenly come---

Suddenly, the trio of master and disciples saw that there was a child tagging along beside Laqeramaline.

"A child?" "A little girl?" "Hmm… so cute… it's making me feel hungry."

Ascalon and Manfred simultaneously looked at Lucifer, their gazes implying… Didn't you just drink blood wine? Why did your sanity return to zero so fast? They looked back at the little Banshee girl again… hmm, but she really was cute.

Seeing Lucifer and the others, Laqeramaline, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, quickly pulled the little Banshee beside her closer.

"Lucifer, and Ascalon and Malfred, it's been a long time."

"The same to you, ma'am/sir."

And the curious gazes of Lucifer and the others certainly did not escape Laqeramaline's notice. Thus, as if a keyword had been triggered, the corners of her mouth lifted high, like a salesperson who had just seen an order come through the door… she lifted the little Banshee beside her and immediately spoke.

"This is my child… Aefanil… what do you think? Isn't he cute?"

"..."

The little Banshee didn't seem to talk much… but his pair of hopeless eyes seemed as if they had been through a great deal.
