I frowned. I mean, I already did not like the idea of servants and whatnot, but it seems I keep getting them, and they are steadily growing more insane watch time. I say this because just looking at Diablo’s stats was making me sweat.
[Servant]: Diablo
[Level]: 67028
[Title]: First King of Hell
ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ [Loyalty]: 200%.
[Command]: Total Submission
[Health]: 100000000000/100000000000
[Mana]: ∞ (Mana linked to Master’s mana source)
These stats are just…. I wanted to faint. But the only thing that made me feel safe was the loyalty and command section. And this made me feel like I was a walking contradiction… I let out a sigh as Diablo stayed kneeling while observing me. “First, please stand up. I don’t like formalities like this. Second, since you want my mana and are going this far to get it, my guess is that you do not wish to be sent back. Am I correct in my assumption?”
“Yes, Master, I do not wish to return to hell now that I have a chance to grow stronger once again. But I must say, Master, you are very observant to understand this without me telling you.” Diablo praised. But I was not at all happy about this praise. I mean, it was basically written on his face!
“Then let’s do this. I do not mind you if you want to stay in this world, but you have to follow a few rules of mine. If you can agree with this, then I will not send you back.” I could actually just command him, but I do not like this idea too much. So while this was a roundabout way of doing things, I wanted him to know I do not like the idea of slavery.
“Whatever you command, I will follow, Master.” Diablo replied with a respectful bow. To be honest, he reminded me of a butler. Even his current attire resembles that of a butler.
“Then, first, no killing anyone without my orders. Second, no harming anyone without my orders. Third, if anything were to happen in the near future, I want you to head to my hometown and protect my family.” The last order was the main thing I wished for the most. If war broke out and I was sent to the frontlines, I would not feel right if I did not know my family was safe.
“Master’s orders are easy to follow.” Diablo replied respectfully. I had no idea what this demon was thinking, but I do know now that I had an ace up my sleeve, and we could now actually finish this dungeon without loss of life. The only problem was that… Diablo was very good looking. A bit too eye catching. I am sure I will get many more haters now.
“Then the two of us will be working together from now on.” I said while holding my hand out. Diablo stared at it, unsure of what to do. I chuckled and reached out and grabbed his hand and shook it. “This is called a handshake. It is a means of greeting or sealing a deal.”
“I see.” Diablo looked at our hands that were now clasped together and shook it. I smiled and pulled him along, causing him to almost trip over himself. I am not sure if he was used to this kind of treatment, but the bewildered expression on his face was definitely amusing.
I walked back over to the group, where everyone stared at me in disbelief once again. “This here is Diablo. He is ummm…. A demon, and he will be helping us finish the dungeon.”
Diablo bowed politely as he said: “Master was gracious enough to allow me to come to this mortal world. I will do my best to assist you all in completing your task.”‘
“Ahem…. Well, I think I speak for all of us that anyone that is willing to Help Faith is a friend of ours. Welcome to the team Diablo.” Adel was the first to speak up, causing Diablo to look up at her with a shocked expression. I guess this was not the reaction he was expecting. I could understand this. After all, not everyone would probably be willing to be nice to a demon in such a manner. Or at least this is what I think anyway. I am not sure since I have not heard about demons other than myself. So I guess in a way, the two of us would be related?
At any rate, as long as things stay as they are and Diablo does not act up, I will not desummon him. This is the least I can do after he willingly became my servant. But I also would not limit his actions to venture out into the world either, as long as he did not break my three rules. “Alright. Steven, hand out items to everyone. They are much more powerful than the items we have gained so far. Remember to prioritize tanks over dps first but be fair.”
“You got it, boss! Those are the words we have been waiting for!” Steven yelled out as he charged forward, only to smack his face on the barrier I had set up.
“Ah! Oops…. Hehe…” I rubbed my nose while canceling the barrier. Steven looked at me with an aggrieved expression causing me to turn my head and whistle. This resulted in everyone else laughing at him.
“You have an interesting group of people surrounding you, Master.” Diablo commented.
I turned to him and smiled as I said: “Out of the people I know in this world besides my family and a few others, they do not discriminate against me. By the way, Diablo, I am sure you have noticed, but I would like to ask you some questions later about demons. “
Diablo looked at me and nodded his head. “Although I am not one hundred percent certain about your race, but I will try my best to answer what I can.”
“That is more than enough. Thank you.” I finally could get some understanding of demons thanks to Diablo. I wonder if this is a blessing in disguise.
