From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 98: Disabling Sigil Artifacts

Myles earlier was cautious. It was inevitable, he wanted to play safe—he had learned a lot from his past mistakes. Hence, he wanted to know if the knight captain possessed an artifact.

However, what he did not expect was that the artifact required to be activated through the use of demonic energy just to activate.

In other words, so long as his shadow threads disabled the knight captain of the brand templar and his demonic energy circulation, the artifact wouldn’t activate.

Furthermore, Myles was confident that only the artifacts he had to worry about. He perceived there were no more knights like veil stalkers, who kept an eye on him.

Well, there was one, but it was a Veil Stalker. The other commanders asked the Commander of the Veil Stalkers to cooperate with them in finding the primary suspect in the death of their fellow knight, including keeping a close watch on Myles.

Although the commanders suspect that the Veil Stalkers were now brainwashed by Myles, there was insufficient evidence and the Veil Stalkers had been acting pretty normal, even through their job of monitoring Myles.

Hence, with the knight captain of the crown of chains guarding Myles, accompanied by the knight captain of the Veil Stalker to monitor him closely, the commanders were confident that Myles wouldn’t be exposed if he did something wrong.

The sigil artifact they placed on the surroundings would also detect if Myles would circulate his demonic energy.

Of course, Myles did just so the knight captain of the Brand Templar would be restrained. However, his mastery of his demonic energy made it difficult for the sigil artifact dozens of meters away from him to detect it, even a slightest fluctuation from him.

The knight captain of the Brand Templar was completely aware of it. Hence, he was filled with terror when he realized he was completely bound while Myles didn’t receive consequences.

He couldn’t even tremble his body out of fear.

He gazed at Myles with eyes conveyed horror while his facial expression remained the same throughout.

Myles began to walk towards him with a creepy smiling face and grabbed his head, slowly putting pressure until the knight captain of the Brand Templar already accepted his death.

Of course, before death was about to consume him, he already lost his will to live and submitted to Myles.

Myles’ heard the voice in his head echoing.

[You have gained another follower.

You now have 102 followers in total.]

Honestly, Myles was a bit relieved that the knight captain of the brand templar was easily subdued. He thought it would be more difficult because the brand templar had a clear idea that as long as he survived against Myles’ attack after exposing himself, he would obtain a massive merit in solving the case on the death of the Veil Stalkers.

However, who would have thought he could be easily subdued?

Myles had a clear idea of the reason. The knight captain thought he was about to be killed by Myles, not knowing Myles only planned to kill him. His reasoning faded the moment Myles instilled terror on him.

Myles watched as the knight captain of the brand templar composed himself and kneeled with one knee in front of him, bowing.

"Greetings, Master."

Myles nodded. "Call me Emperor now."

"Understand, Emperor."

Myles asked, "How many brand templars in total, who will return here later?"

"A total of twenty, Emperor, including the Commander."

Myles thought. Twenty-two, huh? That’s quite a lot.

The only reason why Myles asked despite being exposed to their dormitory room was simply because some took a mission outside of the Royal Academy. He was afraid he would miscalculate if there would be another brand templar who’d return later.

Asking the knight captain, who had a clear idea of the numbers of brand templars that would return was the best option.

He asked, "Will the Commander of the Chain Knights return here later, too?"

The knight captain of the brand templar was silent for a while before saying, "The Chain Knights classes usually lasted longer than us. The brand templars were required to return early in the dormitory for meditation and visualization.

So, even if the Commander of the Chain Knights will return later, the brand templars will be earlier for an hour or two."

"An hour or two..." Myles pondered. "That’s more than enough."

Myles planned to subdue the Commander of the brand templars and all the brand templars in one go.

Now that he was in the Greater Demon Rank 4, he could do it secretly.

Although the Commander of the Blood Knights was not present anymore, as it was one of the reasons why the other commanders felt carefree against Myles, Myles was still confident.

He gazed around and saw some sigil artifacts lying around.

He asked the voice in his head, "Will they be activated if the Ancient Demon of Gluttony consumed the demonic energy inside? I mean, is it possible in the first place?"

[Although it has not been added to the effects of the Ancient Demon of Gluttony in your status, the Ancient Demon of Gluttony can consume the demonic energy of a sigil artifact. However, don’t forget that you won’t benefit from it, the Ancient Demon of Gluttony could.

As for your question, the sigil artifacts should not possibly activate when consumed by the Ancient Demon of Gluttony.]

Myles frowned. "What do you mean I won’t benefit from it? How about my demonic core benefitting from consuming demonic energy from the sigil artifact? Not possible."

[It is possible, but it’s negligible. The demonic energy of the sigil artifact is less than you think. Don’t forget that artifacts are only used as an external weapon of demons, not entirely relying on it.

In fact, the demonic energy on your mantle was only comparable to when you were at the Common Demon Rank 3 or even less.]

Myles was surprised. He did not expect that the demonic energy of the sigil artifact would be lesser than he expected.

Nevertheless, as long as he could disarm a sigil artifact that was used against him, it doesn’t matter for him if it couldn’t help on his demonic core.
