Despite that, I didn't order my demon to change direction or thought of turning around and devastate the entire terrain out there to find them. I knew I was already stronger, far stronger than them.
So why would I be worried over such losers, even if they were this vengeful?
And that seed to be my first mistake here in this world!
It took another hour to reach the place where I left. As I thought, I found the place brimming with monsters, so I recognized from before and so were new.
"It seems they convinced so," I muttered while my sudden appearance in such a grand way startled everyone. I noticed ruckus at the far distance in the huge number of monsters there, yet I noticed the silhouette of Jen, as she moved to stand in front of everyone.
"Don't panic, she is our lord," her tone ca so crisp and loud for to hear from such a distance. I smiled as it seed Jen either had sharp eyesight or she recognized from my giant demon.
"Welco back, master," she greeted and I noticed Mark and Lilly standing on one side, with shocked expressions over their faces.
"How was the hunt today?" I asked, as I ignored their shock and glanced beyond the three towards all the unfamiliar faces here.
"We convinced a hundred groups to join us," Jen said in a prideful tone, "that will give us ten thousand more."
I noticed despite her pride she seed quite worried. "What's wrong? And these aren't ten thousand!"
"Midway we got ambushed by another force, taking half of the monsters away and the other half dispersed in the lands," Lilly said with a dejected tone.
"We are trying to amass the other half now, but this will take so ti," Mark seed quite annoyed as he added, "damn those giant serpents, if not for their strange master's ability we could have crushed them already!"
I noticed there was so kind of giant battle that occurred here without knowing about. "Tell everything," I demanded, while glancing over those unfamiliar faces, "and those who ca here, swear your allegiance to and then go to serve those who convinced you to co."
The next mont many monsters knelt on the ground. Just glancing at them made feel I wasn't in a new world, I was in a zoo!
"Ding Dong! Fifteen leading monsters and two thousand monsters are asking to be your pets."
"Ding Dong! Congratulations, you gained five hundred pearls."
"Tsk, such a small number should be multiplied in ten already!"
"Ding Dong! I warned you, gaining strength fast isn't favorable in this world."
"I don't care!"
I was so furious of such a dirty sche of the world against . Either I should play according to the rules or else I would be screwed! Such a world wasn't a fair one, it was just like my usual life I once lived.
Injustice! That was the perfect word to describe things here.
"Tell everything you know about this strange enemy," I demanded again, while trying to be as calm as ever.
This was my domain, and I wouldn't settle in with the presence of such a contender. I didn't step out yet to the vast world and here I was; facing such a challenge already!
Damn this world and its stupid rules!
"It's a group of strange humans, with more bones than flesh on their bodies. Their numbers weren't large, yet they led such a grand army of bones," Jen was the one to speak up.
"Bones?" I muttered without knowing what that even ant.
"Bones of humans and monsters. They moved in such a strange way, yet they held weapons and didn't feel any pain or fear. Killing dozens wouldn't work as a hundred would accumulate on you. Losing one of us ant one more to add to them, it's strange."
I listened to her words before finding a relation to that in my mories. I turned to glance at the mixed army I had. "Does anyone have any clue about this?" I asked, yet I was t with complete silence.
"System?" I turned my attention to my last resort, this stingy system.
"Ding Dong! I could reply to your questions, but this would require ten pearls as a price."
"Tsk," such a stingy system didn't disappoint . It was really stingy! "Alright, I give you ten pearls and tell all you know about this foe."
"Ding Dong! It's a necromancer species."
"What? What does that even an?!!"
"Ding Dong! To explain I will need twenty pearls."
"Screw you! Didn't you just take a ten now?"
'Ding Dong! Didn't I answer your question already?"
"Really? Are you going to play such a childish ga with ?"
"Ding Dong! Pay and you will get your corresponding answer; these are the rules."
"What rules? You just made them up!"
"Ding Dong! These are the new rules, play with them or play alone."
"Damn you," I cursed out loud in such a furious tone, "alright, take twenty and answer this question of mine,' I took a deep breath before adding, "I want to know all the details regarding the necromancers; their abilities, their traits, their weaknesses."
"Ding Dong! A hundred pearl were deducted successfully from you."
"What? Didn't you just say twenty?! Shaless thief!!!"
"Ding Dong! This was the price of answering one question, and you asked tons! Being greedy won't help you, shaless humans."
"You are such a cunning and deceiving system! Alright, give the answers I want, and don't dare to trick or give a shortened one!"
I was so angry, yet he was the only one here with the answers I needed. He acted like a stingy, cunning rchant. Sigh, why was it only him to know the answers to my questions?
That damned system would keep milking out my precious pearls! I had to make sure to gain much more than what he took!
