”Devil, huh? Are they really stronger than demigods, though? My family has lots of demigods. They have so many crazy stories and souvenirs. My uncle said he slew a few devils back when your demon cult was still in its prime, terrorizing the government, not indulging in petty crimes like robbery. My family did a number on your cult. Hey, nothing personal, just business. After all, the devilʼs body is a walking treasure trove of SSS-Rank card ingredients.” Anna was not lying. She had seen many devilsʼ skulls that her familyʼs demigods had kept as a souvenir. After all, slaying a devil is not something everyone can brag about.

”Shut the fuck up! Demigods have an unfair home-ground advantage in this world. If not for the worldʼs will suppressing the Devilʼs realm, your ancestors would have died in the hands of the Devil. ” The demon cult card emperor was enraged hearing Annaʼs words. As a demon worshiper, he had unwavering faith in the devil. Part of him wanted to blow everyone up and use them as sacrifices just to see the Devil. If not for the mission objective, he would have done so.

”Dude, the truth hurts, I know. Still, you donʼt have to lash out at me. Blame the devil you worship for being weak. My family has been kicking the Devilʼs ass for generations. You donʼt see us complaining to you about how the Devils are wasting our time.” Over time Annaʼs words made less sense. Still, they managed to rile up the devil worshiper. Proving fanatics are brainless fools.

”You think you are funny, huh?” The demon cult card emperor was in a bind. According to the orders from higher-ups, he is not allowed to make an enemy out of the southern royal family. Right now, the demon cult is still trying to get back on its feet and is undergoing a revival stage. At this moment, they cannot afford to have an enemy like the southern royal family hunting for them.

Therefore, despite the almost perfect plan, he was asked to negotiate with Anna. The Dungeon relocation apparatus and Lunaʼs knowledge in exchange for the lives of southern watch soldiers. Knowing how the southern royal family valued their people, especially the soldiers, the negotiation was possible despite their famous quote, ʼNo Negotiations with terrorists.ʼ

But thereʼs one thing the demon cult did not take into account, Anna. This crazy bitch was not playing by the script. Instead of panicking in fear like a cornered rat, as anybody else in her situation would do. She was calmly cracking jokes with no worry whatsoever. She acted as if she had everything under control. Therefore, the demon cult card emperor could not pitch his negotiation conditions to her.

”Out of words, buddy? How about pitching the conditions for negotiation as ordered by your higher-ups?” As the heir to the southern royal family, Anna is already familiar with the demon cult pattern. These guys are no joke. They donʼt make threats. If you see one of them in your area, you know something terrible is about to happen. But if they do make threats, then you have something they want.

Their negotiations are always one-sided, with no room for bargaining. If you make it out alive after negotiations, you are lucky but should think twice before thanking your lucky stars. One would say instead of complaining that the demon cult stole all your fortune and left you dirt poor. At least be grateful they left you with your life, and you can earn back what you lost in no time. But what they donʼt know is that if they rebuild themselves is also part of the demon cultʼs plan to plunder you again. These unlucky people were termed piggy banks by the demon cult.

So when the demon cult card emperor went through the trouble to tell her what would happen. How he planned to sacrifice her soldiers to summon the devil and escape with the dungeon apparatus and Luna amidst the chaos. Right then, Anna knew that these people were looking for negotiations rather than an all-out bloodbath, which was a shame because she was hungry for some carnage. Since her opponents are from the demon cult, nobody would blame her for going overboard.

”What! How did you know?” The demon cult card emperor asked in surprise? Anna knew his next move before he even showed it. This freaked out the devil worshiper. He started to doubt whether there was a leak on their side. This would explain why the royal slut is calm despite her men being cornered. The more the demon worshiper thought, the more paranoid he grew. And finally, he snapped, yelling, ”Was it that bitch? So all that hatred and revenge crap, all of that was just an act? No wonder that bitch volunteered for this mission. I should have seen it coming, arh!.”

”What the fuck are you talking about? And which bitch?” Anna seriously had no idea what the demon cult card emperor was talking about.

”Of course, you would deny it and cover for her. After all, you both are one team. You guys think you are smart and can screw me over, huh. Letʼs see who will be laughing when I blow up the whole blood spring forest and sacrifice them to summon the devil. Yes, the devil. He will be my salvation. He will avenge me.” The demon cult card apprenticeʼs eyes had turned pitch black. Black fur had started to grow on his body. Clearly, he was no longer himself driven by pure chaotic emotions.

”Buddy, donʼt lose control. You are undergoing demonization. Donʼt let the darkness control you. Before you end up doing what we both regret, take the pill, you son of a bitch. Take the pill.” Anna was familiar with what was happening with the demon cult card emperor; itʼs called demonization. A very common phenomenon in the hybrid bastards born due to the intercourse between a demon and a human. When their emotions go out of control, they gain super strength and vitality in exchange for intelligence and charisma. This phenomenon is so common in the demon cult that they had to research a pill to suppress this demonization.
