Versatile: Alternate World



The guard who was just called didn't suspect a thing that coincided with the plan. Still, we have to be careful. After giving the signs about the number of demons present and lurking, I immediately asked Lucia to mark the demons currently hiding among the group. And as for how we will single them out...

----

"How should we remove them from the group without them getting notice of our scheme?" Ragga asked. He is worried that chaos will break out as a result.

"Since they have been planning to plunder your camp, that means they wanted to rob your camp of all your resources. Then what if we lure them with the same notion? Materials and treasure? You will command the suspected invaders to pick up the items that were left behind that were said to be gifts and show them what I gave you. If this stuff is valuable, they will know that this is good stuff as well which means if they knew something else was also up here, they will be willing to go and get them. Without suspecting things."

"Oh, it makes sense. If they have found a good place to find more materials, not only will they try to scout out themselves, but they can also scour for new places they can plunder for later as well," Mimiko understood immediately what I meant.

"But if that is the case, wouldn't that endanger you all as well?" Ragga frowned.

"Don't panic. In fact, if they come in full squadron, we will be lucky enough as we also hunt them out. Besides, I don't think they are even cut out to defeat any of us in the first place, more like they will be begging for mercy."

"Then, we will stick to that plan then?"

I nodded.

"Let's do this thing then."

----

Lucia was quick at marking everyone who had the demon signature hidden on them. Lucia has already found out about them and with her so familiar with the demons, she has already found the disguised demons without any sort of problem.

"We still left a few stuff back there and we needed some help to carry them. Raul, can you help?" Ragga asked.

"Yes sir, but what are we even getting up there?" the attendant asked. I already gave Ragga the sign that this Raul guy is one of them so he immediately set the trap.

"Here, have a look at these," Ragga then put down the crate and showed them the items that were present there.

"Wait...isn't this..." Raul seems to recognize the items.

"Yes. And there are still some left. They even gave out some jewels and some expensive stuff as well. I wanted you to carry it out. This guy right here will be picking the soldiers who will help out.

"What about you sir?" Raul asked.

"I will sort these out then will follow back as we will need a few hands to carry it out.

"We can just send everyone to help out there."

I immediately stepped in to ensure that the method did not win. "Hey, I may be generous but I am not someone who would let multiple groups of people barge into our home like that. Just because we are giving you all some gifts doesn't mean you can abuse your authority like that. Remember that I can just retract the agreement and take back what I originally handed over."

Ragga also stepped in. "He is right. We should be grateful we got this stuff here for free after our discussion. So get your whining in control. This stuff is not originally ours."

Raul couldn't retaliate and went silent. And since I got the permission, I started picking a few people. We already agreed that we would bring a few normal soldiers as well to ensure that there is an eyewitness and to also make sure the demons don't detect our plan. I also added a hand gesture to identify the demons. I will only point to the person if they are a demon while I will point and beckon the normal people. Ragga and Mimiko already know those signs so they will know immediately who were enemies and the allies.

And so, I started picking the people who would join. I have chosen all demons and two muscular soldiers as well, which means we will have 8 people return to the top. I asked Riko to levitate them up as we followed behind as well. They were afraid at first but since it was fast, they didn't panic immediately. Riko remained below to levitate Ragga a few moments after them.

I went up to the top and everyone marveled at what they saw. Of course, the demons are not in awe but in greed. It is clear they are already seeing a potential place to raid while the two human soldiers are just in awe of the place and realize there was a mansion at the top of the towering soil.

"Where is the package?" Raul asked as he broke off from looking around to finish what they were sent here for.

"Ah, the package, here, take it with you,"  I pulled out a crate from the inventory I prepared in advance before releasing the spell, [Kekkai]. I relearned this skill as it is very useful in trapping enemies easily and catching them off guard. With the [Kekkai] cast on the demons, they realized something was wrong. Raul started banging on the [Kekkai] and demanded what was happening.

"What the heck is going on? What is happening and what is this?!"

The two soldiers who are not demons and have not been on the loop pulled out their weapons. "I knew it, this is all just a ruse of peace!"

"Stand down men, and sheath back your weapons," Ragga's voice echoed behind the two guys as he slowly levitated.

"Huh? But boss..."

"I was the one who ordered that to happen."

Raul frowned and the others were also banging the [Kekkai] in frustration.

"Boss, what is happening? What do you mean you ordered it to happen?!" Raul frowned.

"Don't ask me why. You and these other guys already know why I did it."

"We don't understand?" Raul keeps on banging the [Kekkai].

One of the human soldiers frowned and asked Ragga, "Boss, what is going on?"

"Remember the oracle about the invaders?"

"Yeah? What about it?"

"This is it."

"Huh?"

Ragga then turned to look at me and nodded. I nodded in response as well and pulled out a scroll. A scroll that reveals anything illusion in an area. A stationary skill that is a downgraded version of the [Eye of Unveiling Truth] as this is only applied on a place and not engraved to the caster and its potential targets. It's the [Domain of Unveiling Truth] scroll.

Setting the scroll effects to activate, I tear the scroll into two, casting the skill in the process and activating it to the area I set it in which was the place the demons are currently standing.

Light engulfed the people inside the [Kekkai] and they briefly screamed. But in a few seconds, the illusion that the wear has been removed, revealing their real identities.

Initially, Ragga didn't believe that his men would be the invaders but the moment the spell that I used revealed their true form, Ragga's initial distrust turned to believing my words after seeing their hidden forms. His rage started to boil up.

"I can't believe it, I thought I was pretty certain that you and the others are not the impostor and whatever this guy has done to you will not cause anything that will sway me in his favor. But seeing all of your appearances now, I am now inclined to agree."

He pulled out his two axes.

Raul and the others frowned and turned to look at the others only to see their true forms were now out.

"W-what? But how? Our spells shouldn't have disappeared!

"You have to thank me for that, invaders," I pulled out the Versatile Weapon and ready myself as well.

"F*ck, we are screwed! Break free before we are killed!"

"Ha, if you can!"

I snapped my fingers and ice built up on their legs, preventing them from moving.

"Sh*t, I can't move!" Raul gritted his teeth. The others also tried to thrash the ice I made but to no avail.

"No wonder you guys seem to have changed. Because you all were not the real deal."

I snap my fingers and the [Kekkai] wear off, allowing Ragga to come close. I snap my fingers again and the arms of the demons are cast in ice as well, preventing their movement and any way for them to attack.

"How?! How did our disguise get easily blown off?! No one from these dumb people should have known who we are until our plan goes off!"

Hearing those words from Raul who is already panicking from what happened, he lost all control of himself and he started thrashing the demons. Although the demons were strong and could withstand the attacks of strong weapons and enemies, the wrath of Ragga didn't make their protection a bit worthwhile. After all, he immediately squashed everyone to death before they could even understand what was happening.
