《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 23 - Quest
Advertisement
After the fight, I went back home to see the subjects were just playing around again. Many of them looked at me, looking to fight off what I did to Luke, but I had enough crap in this world. I sensed a summoning of an incarnate weapon while hearing it. Looking over, I created gush of wind to knock whoever tried to attack me and went back inside.
There I made my way towards my room, even seeing Jododam in his library again, glancing at me, doing nothing, which I was grateful. It was the middle of the day when I returned, so I took off my clothes and got into bed, reading five chapters of a history book about dragonoids and went to bed.
I woke up in Antral again and went outside, looking at the massive board that many ghouls were surrounding it. As I got closer, they backed away; I told them I am also just looking, and they got closer to me again.
I turned out that this camp had some sort of quest system of types. Demons could pay other's to do favours or even their jobs for more rules; after all, I guess that they have their own families as well.
I was searching for a quest to pass the time before I was pinned against it, stomping on my tail, and I saw at the corner of my eye, saw Astaroth had restricted me. Astaroth then grabbed my neck, turned me around and pinned me against the board again; this time, his arm was squashing my windpipe.
"Listen here Dynestar, Lucyfers about to pick a guild quest, so get ready, you got that!" Astaroth raged at me.
"Yeah, I'll go get ready," I coughed, pushing him back.
"Great, then scram!" Astaroth yelled at me while taking his arm away.
"Don't tell me what to do."
I walked towards my tent and started to pack all the things I had. I got a little sac and just put a small leather canteen. I then ran out of my tent and back to Astaroth.

"I don't have anything personal, so I packed a canteen," I calmly said to Astaroth.
"Good, the others have arrived, and Lucyfer is coming out,"
I looked towards the main tent to see that Lucyfer had come out with a piece of parchment in her hand. She then stopped in front Astaroth, Xirax, Abatson and I and started to speak.
"Ok team, we have a mission," Lucyfer sighed.
"What is it?" Abatson replied.
"We have to take out a nobleman who has been doing bad deeds... Gener, a rank one greater demon, seems easy enough,"
"When do we leave?" Abatson quickly replied.
"One day, and Dynestar," She turned to me. "Two things. One! Don't slow the team down, and Two! Here you go,"
Lucyfer then chucked a small rose-red booklet at me, I caught it and took a look at it. It was made out of red leather and had a nice touch. I turned it around to see golden details saying 'Your Welcome, from Jododam'. I just smirked and flicked through the small booklet. After I stopped on the second page, I was shocked by what I saw.
"This… this is," I stuttered.
"Krayme asked me to give it to you, he said it was from Jododam, saying that it will help him during the quest, and don't bring extra clothes, bring essentials, like a canteen or some food" Lucyfer replied.
"I don't think I need food, but I need to go and ask Krayme something, I'll be back."
I entered the tent where Lucyfer had just exited. I saw Krayme; he was scribbling on some paper. He looked up and saw me; a smile came across his face.
"Perfect, since you're going on a mission, you will have to wear some more fitting attire," Krayme laughed.
"So you're changing my equipment for the mission?" I replied.
"Correct, now to save time changing."

Krayme snapped his fingers, and I was engulfed in flames. After a short while, the fire subsided, and I was covered in some new clothing. Some gauntlets that went up to my shoulders had appeared, as well as some greaves and a piece of an iron breastplate on my chest, all were quite heavy.
"Offense for defence," I smirked, taking off my breastplate saying that.
"Correct, now I want you to memorize that book while you wait," Krayme replied.
"But before I go, I want to know more about our target," The breastplate hit the floor making a loud bang.
"Gener is a noble, he does slave trades and other black-market properties, he's been causing us trouble,"
"What kind of trouble?"
"He killed who you are replacing, Kappa. Lucyfer tried to keep her rage under lock and key around you, but all of your comrades have a grudge against him,"
I was shocked by what I heard, Gener killed Kappa. I was only his replacement, but still, I felt a grudge myself. Burying the anger which had ignited inside me, I took a deep breath and breathed out a cold sigh and kept talking.
"Where does Gener live or is present?!" I questioned Krayme.
"Slow down. He lives in a small castle, about two days up north by carriage, for your team it should take one day to get there if you jump in the trees."
"Hmmm, how secure is the area?"
"It's not very secure, mostly guarded by ghouls and low ranking demons, he's also having a banquet with other nobles just like him. The rewards are for each noble you kill, Gener is twice that amount. Also, our little buyer put Geners name up just for little Lucyfer to see,"
"Who's the person that put him up for a quest?"
"Jododam, even Gener's troubles are causing him grief, so he sent me this to give to Lucyfer. Other rewards include that you move up a demon rank even if you do nothing, your performance will be looked upon like that based on how many nobles you kill or identify,"
"Also, you will be able to visit where Jododam lives and go sightseeing for the day; also the bounties will be split across you five," Krayme continued.
I was shocked to find out that Jododam put up the quest for us, although I guessed that he would do it sooner or later to take a look at my abilities since he wanted to see how his subjects are getting on.
"Anything else you wish to know Dynestar?" Krayme asked me.
I thought for a moment.
"No, but thank you for telling me about it," I replied.
Suddenly, Lucyfer came storming in, with an angry look.
"Dynestar! Change of plans! We're leaving now!" I then heard Lucyfer yelling out to me.
"Understood, thank you for the information Krayme," I turned around and bowed.
"It's alright Dynestar, now, time to go," Krayme replied.
"I will see you later."
I ran out of the tent to see that my group were all looking at me. I talked to them about the small amount of information I gathered. After I was done, Lucyfer seemed extremely pleased.
"Very well Dynestar, now move out!" Lucyfer yelled to the group.
We all simply nodded our heads and followed her into the north woods.
'Jododam, what do you have in plan for me this time,' I thought while going into the woods.
"One more thing," Lucyfer yelled, "We attack at nightfall."
