Demons Beside You

Chapter 491: Magic Puppet

“Cheryl, Yura, you’ve been playing for the whole afternoon. Time to come back.”

“Huh... It’s just been a while! Let us play some more.”

Standing on Amon’s back, Yura begged, unwilling to return to the shore.

However, Amon received Chen Zhao’s command to lower into the lake.

Yura and Cheryl had no choice but to return. They looked at Chen Zhao with some resentment.

“What? Unhappy?” Chen Zhao widened his eyes at the two girls.

“Humph.” Yura blew out her cheeks, stomped on the ground and then returned to the villa.

“After you finish dinner, go back to your rooms.” Chen Zhao placed their dinner before them.

“Why? It’s only five.”

“Because you were disobedient.”

“When?”

“Because I say so.”

“You’re so bad! I don’t want to stay here anymore. I’m going to find mom.”

“While you’re grounded, you’re not allowed to communicate with anyone else,” Chen Zhao said. “Don’t talk back to me again. Accept your punishment, or I’ll ground you two forever.”

The two were very displeased. After taking two bites, Yura shouted, “I’m full.”

“Then go back to your room.”

Chen Zhao looked at Cheryl. “How about you?”

“Wait, just a bit more.” Cheryl had been eating with her head lowered.

She had been quiet because she had seen what had happened at the entrance today.

Although Amon had carried them far away, Cheryl’s eyesight was exceptional.

“Chen, do you need my help tonight?”

“Take care of Yura. Don’t let her leave the room.”

“I mean, apart from that.”

“Nope. You shouldn’t be involved in this.”

“Chen, don’t forget that I’m no longer the powerless weregirl in the past.”

“Taking care of Yura is the biggest help you can offer.”

After locking Cheryl and Yura in their room, Chen Zhao asked Princess to guard the door.

On the other hand, he began his deployment. He had to be totally ready.

“Murphy, I’ll give you a day off today. You can do whatever you want. Don’t come for the patrol.” Chen Zhao called Murphy.

When Murphy heard that, he panicked at once. “Boss, why? Was I not good enough? I’ll change! I admit that I slept for half an hour in the forest yesterday, but apart from that, I wasn’t idling. Please believe me...”

“Precisely. I’ll deduct one day of salary for today because you slept for half an hour. If you dare to be lazy again, you’ll be fired. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes.”

Murphy heaved a sigh. Although he had lost a day’s salary from being lazy for half an hour, at least he was not fired. It could have been worse.

Murphy thought, No, I have to change the boss’s impression of me.

He had to work harder. Even if he would not be paid, he had to go to work.

Murphy decided to continue the patrol tonight.

Perhaps Chen Zhao would reward him when he saw his hard work and attitude.

Perhaps Murphy would be lucky enough to notice and catch bad people entering the villa. By then, he would be able to display himself before Chen Zhao.

As Murphy thought about all this in his mind, he was even more excited and determined.

...

Herretia stared at the magic puppet before her. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

The magic puppet weighed at least one ton. Many magic metals had been used to build the main parts of its body.

With its three-meter height and indomitable strength, it could kill anyone.

She believed that the puppet would help her to complete the mission.

“Hmm, something’s missing.”

Herretia inspected the magic puppet for a long time.

Suddenly, her eyes glittered. “Oh right, a weapon.”

Herretia ran to her suitcase. Searching through the pile, she finally found a bright red piece of metal.

She had bought the red metal from a magic merchant a long time ago. The piece of metal was emitting a powerful magic aura.

However, Herretia had not found any suitable occasion to use it.

Today, she finally had an idea. She could make a weapon for the magic puppet.

“Scorching lava from Hell, use your power to incinerate all.”

The red metal began to melt. Following Herretia’s will, its shape changed repeatedly.

Herretia was a spiritualist of all trades but master of none.

For example, she knew alchemy magic from Western Europe. Alchemy magic had a long history and was even older than Demonic Sorcery.

Before the Dark Ages, alchemists were actually very respected.

Alchemists could create not only special items but also medicine.

In those kinds of undeveloped civilizations, a person who could cure diseases was clearly very respected.

Nevertheless, Herretia alchemy skill was only ordinary.

But today she felt different.

Alchemy magic required not just superb skills, but sometimes also a eureka moment.

It was precisely Herretia’s state right now. The entire process was extremely smooth.

Soon, a bright red long sword appeared before her.

Herretia pointed her finger and the sword flew into the magic puppet’s hand.

Thud—

The puppet grabbed the sword. The next instant, red light flickered in its eyes.

“Haha... I, Simons Lillest, am back again! All humans shall kneel before me.”

“Uh...” Herretia was dazed. What was happening?

Simons Lillest controlled the magic puppet and looked at Herretia. “Now, you shall be my first servant. Swear loyalty to your master now.”

“Kneel down.” Herretia pointed her finger.

Clang! The magic puppet knelt on the floor with much force, but it was not Simons Lillest’s will.

Simons Lillest was also stunned. “Wait... You’re offending me! You’ll be cursed forever! You’ll...”

“Shut up.” Immediately, the magic puppet closed its mouth.

Herretia stared at the red sword in the puppet’s hand. Did the sword have its own awareness?

The sword had presumably controlled the puppet, but she could control the puppet too, and her control should be superior.

“Tell me who you are.”

“Human woman, you’ll pay dearly for your actions. No human can humiliate a noble demon.”

“Grovel.”

Crash!

The metallic head smashed onto the floor wildly. Herretia stared at the puppet. “Forget it. If you destroy the floor, I need to pay the landlord again.”
