After dealing with the Lost Devil, Xia Yan left the forest as fast as he could. In just five minutes, he ran two or three kilometers away.
“Should be safe here, right?”
Xia Yan’s heart was beating rapidly. In the quiet environment, he could even feel the ‘thump thump’ sound.
Not just because of the intense exercise just now, but also because he killed such a giant creature for the first time.
“Seems like I’m alright.”
Xia Yan closed his eyes and recalled what happened just now. He realized that he was still normal both mentally and physically. Nothing felt particularly different.
The Lost Devil, though looking like a monster, still had some human-like features.
Many people couldn’t even bring themselves to kill chickens or ducks, let alone humanoid creatures.
In fact, many well-trained people would experience various physical and psychological adverse reactions when they killed someone for the first time.
However, Xia Yan didn’t feel any discomfort.
“Looks like I’m really cut out for this life.”
Xia Yan couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
After experiencing the killing, he not only felt no discomfort, but was actually somewhat excited.
He was indeed somewhat different.
“However, this is better.”
Xia Yan smiled.
In a world where gods and demons run rampant, the shorter the adaptation period, the better.
Leaving the area where the Lost Devil died, Xia Yan changed routes several times. Making sure he didn’t leave any trace, he went back onto the road.
Xia Yan took a look at his task reward.
“Ten thousand Dimensional Points, it’s barely enough.”
Compared to the Dimensional Points he received from interacting with plot characters, the Dimensional Points from this mission of killing the Lost Devil were really underwhelming.
After all, the former, both in terms of difficulty and rewards, were far better than this mission of killing the Lost Devil.
Shaking his head, Xia Yan withdrew his consciousness from the system.
Now, Xia Yan just wanted to go back to the city as soon as possible. He wanted to have a good meal to replenish his energy, then have a good sleep on the bed in the hotel.
...
Kumaou Academy, old school building.
Supernatural Research Club.
It was already evening, but the room wasn’t lit. Instead, it was lit with candles, which seemed very retro.
The atmosphere in the whole room felt a bit gloomy, making it feel like a room in a vampire castle in a movie.
All the members of the Supernatural Research Club gathered here.
Rias sat on the president’s desk, holding a document in her hand, carefully reading it.
Looking closely, the document was imprinted with a special pattern, based on red, looking quite creepy.
“President, is there any special task?”
Taishi Koneko sat on the retro sofa, holding an ice pop. She licked it expressionlessly twice, then looked seriously at Rias and asked.
She also noticed the document in Rias’s hand, which had the special aura of the Underworld, belonging to the Devil’s side.
“Hmm.”
Rias had a graceful smile on her face. After hearing Taishi Koneko’s words, she shifted her gaze away from the document and answered Koneko’s question: “There’s a disobedient fellow who seems to have run over to Kumaou Town.”
“Disobedient fellow?”
Taishi Koneko quickly understood the meaning of Rias’ words and asked, “Is it a Lost Devil?”
“Yes!”
Rias nodded: “It escaped from its original owner, and did quite a bit of evil in the human world. It seems to be trying to avoid being tracked, so it somehow escaped to my territory.”
“President, is our mission tonight to hunt down this Lost Devil?”
Kiba Yuuto asked.
“That’s right.”
Rias nodded: “I can’t let something like that run wild in the area under my jurisdiction. It’s a stain on my Griselda’s reputation.”
“So, everyone’s going to have to work hard tonight. We might be up all night dealing with this Lost Devil.”
Rias smiled and said.
“I’ve been fulfilling clients’ tasks day and night during this summer vacation. I’m almost rusty.”
The light in Taishi Koneko’s eyes flickered. She was very interested in the Lost Devil that Rias mentioned. Although her cute face was still expressionless.
“I’m full of energy too. Those clients are so fragile. They can’t even withstand a slightly bigger electric shock. I’m not even able to have fun.”
Akeno Himejima said with a gentle smile, but her words were a little eerie.
“Akeno, you have to be careful too. I’ve received a lot of complaints about you.”
Rias stroked her forehead helplessly.
“But there’s a lot of praise too, Rias.”
Akeno Himejima said with a smile.
“That may be true, but if there are too many complaints, it will affect your evaluation.”
Rias sighed. There was nothing else she could do about Akeno Himejima.
“Well, it can’t be helped, Rias.”
Akeno Himejima didn’t care, her smile remained: “When it gets to that point, I can’t control myself.”
“Forget it, just be careful.”
Rias sighed.
Her childhood friend, although she looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko, was a hardcore sadist. Coupled with her innate talent, lightning, it was a perfect match.
“Okay, I know.”
Akeno Himejima agreed readily.
“By the way, Akeno, I’ve ordered you to look for the Lost Devil’s whereabouts. Did you get any news?”
Rias didn’t dwell on this topic, but returned to the topic of the Lost Devil. It was their target tonight.
Akeno Himejima raised her hand. A magic circle appeared in her hand, then a small animal appeared in her hand.
This was her familiar.
The familiar chirped something in Akeno Himejima’s ear, then flew back to her hand.
“I’m sorry, Rias, but I didn’t find any trace of the Lost Devil.”
Akeno Himejima comforted her familiar.
“Oh? Even you couldn’t find its trace?”
Rias wasn’t disappointed, but instead, showed a look of interest.
“It seems like it is indeed a Lost Devil that’s very good at hiding. No wonder it was able to evade its original owner’s pursuit and escape all the way to my territory.”
For Rias, ordinary Lost Devils were not challenging at all. This kind of special Lost Devil was able to prove her strength.
