From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 87: A Week Left

The knight captain of the Veil Stalker kneeled with one knee and bowed deeply.

He said, "Our Commander contacted me to the faculty. When I arrived, the knight captain of the night templar and brandmasters were also there and our Commander silently asked me to listen to their reports. I heard that they detected an anomaly in this room.

From what I heard, it began half an hour prior to when the Commander of the Blood Knights left to interrogate you. When the knight captains were asked about the level of demonic energy they detected in this room, they guessed it was on a knight captain level.

The knight captain of the Night Templars then explained the demonic energy strangely has an affinity with shadows.

Since then, the Commanders concluded to report the anomaly to the headmaster next week."

Myles’ eyes flashed with cold glint. "Why next week?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Because the headmaster was currently away on a mission from the Demon King himself. It’s also surprising because the headmaster was rarely tasked that required him to leave the responsibility as a headmaster for two weeks.

He couldn’t be reached out, either. They had to wait until he returned."

"Are you sure he’ll really return in a week? What if his mission extends?"

The knight captain of the Veil Stalker replied, "I deeply apologized, Emperor. I am not sure if that will happen. However, from the five years I’m in the academy, there’s a high chance that it won’t likely extend."

Myles was silent.

His eyes flashed with killing intent. Damn it! I never thought it would quickly escalate. I have to take control of the knight department within a week. Or else, I’ll be in trouble!

It was already out of luck that he managed to enslave the Commander of the Blood Knights without being detected, and yet...

There was no way he would win against a Demon Lord.

He must prevent the knight department from reporting to the Demon Lord at all cost.

He was still currently at the Greater Demon Rank 5 and subduing a Commander, who was still at the Greater Demon Rank 3 was already a feat.

For him to subdue every Commander discreetly required him to reach the same rank, too.

As Myles pondered deeply, he asked the knight captain of the Veil Stalker again, "Why won’t they just report this to the noble department? That way, it would be easy to resolve."

The knight captain of the Veil Stalker shook his head. "That won’t be possible, Emperor. Only through the headmaster’s instruction would only then they would be able to receive intensive help. The reason why our Commanders were able to ask for an artifact is simply because the noble department has not fully intervened yet."

Myles nodded.

He was silent for a while and finally decided to ask the other Blood Knights for their opinion of this matter.

The Commander suggested, "We really don’t have a choice but to convert every knight in the knight department as loyal followers of your future empire, Emperor. However, to do it for a week might require meticulous and swift execution."

Myles nodded. "Yeah."

Myles then ordered every Veil Stalker through mental commands to keep noting every significant yet subtle movements of other knight departments, particularly on their activities.

Myles glanced at the knight captain of the Veil Stalker and said, "Are you the one who schedules the Veil Stalker’s activities when infiltrating a room?"

The knight captain replied, "Yes, Emperor."

Myles nodded. "Good. We don’t have a choice but to risk it now. Order all of the Veil Stalkers, who have not been converted yet to stalk here every half an hour starting tomorrow morning until night."

Myles calculated that if they took turns for half an hour, he would already enslave them by the time before the moon reached the peak. He was planning not to attend the daily activities. If he got the attention of the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond, then he would seduce her, if not, it was even better.

He simply wanted to take a risk in enslaving the Guardian of Scarlet Bond to assist him in subduing the knight department.

Of course, it would jeopardize his life if he failed to invite her to copulate with him. Nevertheless, it was worth trying.

Now that it was already in the middle of the night, they would have to take a rest first and anticipate tomorrow’s events.

...

Myles slept peacefully—an audacity to have. He was already used to being in a tight position anyway. Back when he was on earth, he slept while bullets occasionally were fired. After all, he was awake for two days straight, so his mind was unable to endure the desire to sleep.

At this moment, he knew he had to take a peaceful rest. He was aware that a mind that rested for the whole night would be even more attentive and active the next day.

When he woke up, the Commander and the other Blood Knights were already awake. Myles ordered them to participate in their daily activities as usual. If someone asked why he was not present, they just had to tell them he was not feeling well.

Of course, if they wanted to check his condition, they were welcomed to do so, as long as they were a knight sergeant, at least.

However, if it was a knight captain, then the knight captain of the blood knights must accompany him in visiting Myles.

Once they received the order, they bid farewell to the Emperor and left.

Meanwhile, as soon as they left, Myles casually sat up and left his bed.

Once he took a step, he suddenly appeared behind the Veil Stalker, who was greatly startled when he suddenly vanished.

Before he was able to make a move, shadow threads already restrained him, even just by tilting his head was impossible.

To his horror, Myles returned to his previous position and turned his head, staring at the Veil Stalker with a wide smile.
