Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 57: Invading the Village (Please Follow!!!)

Shami rejected the skeleton, but not entirely. His attention returned to what the skeleton had said earlier.

"What abilities do you have?"

The skeleton raised its skull, and for some reason, Shami sensed a hint of pride from its hollow eyes.

"I possess the ability of allure."

"...I totally didn’t notice you had that kind of ability..."

Shami politely smiled.

"During yesterday’s fight, didn’t I briefly enchant the Demon King for two seconds?"

"That’s because it was completely baffling why a skeleton would wear black stockings in front of humans!"

"Eh? This scene is way too bizarre!"

The blonde girl who had been holding back all this time finally couldn’t resist making a comment.

The skeleton’s gaze slowly shifted to Lureya.

Lureya crossed her arms confidently.

Well, although it’s annoying to be mistaken for the Demon King’s girlfriend, sometimes being misunderstood is unavoidable. After all, a super popular girl suddenly appearing beside a guy always creates that kind of illusion.

"Does the Demon King really have such an ugly goblin by his side all the time? The tastes of a Demon King level are really different."

The skeleton admiredly clenched a fist.

"Shami, just throw it into the toilet. Keeping such a skeleton only occupies unnecessary space on the land."

Lureya expressionlessly tugged on Shami’s sleeve.

"What a ferocious goblin, is it the Demon King’s pet? I’ve heard of the saying ’green leaves make the red flowers stand out,’ but a pet of this level only lowers the Demon King’s class."

The elf maiden’s fighting spirit rapidly soared, her little face flushed as she drew her sword from the storage space.

"I’m an elf, you bastard!"

Shami hurriedly pulled down the flat-chested blonde.

"Every race has a different aesthetic! Don’t impose other demonic standards! Sometimes being called a pretty girl by a skeleton isn’t a compliment, who knows if their race finds quirky bone shapes beautiful as a standard."

With some effort, Shami saved the skeleton’s life from the flat-chested blonde’s hands.

He thought it over and decided that although he didn’t need the skeleton right now, having one more wasn’t a bad thing.

Having the skeleton patrol the area at night to scare off villagers who try to approach is a good idea.

"Anyway, I don’t need your so-called allure ability, just behave like a normal skeleton soldier, and I’ll keep you."

"Thank you very much, Demon King!"

The skeleton knelt down.

Using magic power, Shami erased Luwaka’s mark and stamped his own mark onto the skeleton’s demonic qi, officially making this skeleton his follower.

Shami inspected the skeleton carefully, discovering that it was indeed a female skeleton, the overall frame not too large, with every bone clean and tidy.

"The Demon King can touch anywhere at will... I’m a skeleton summoned by Lord Luwaka in a special way, and I clean my bones daily, very clean everywhere..."

The skeleton noticed Shami staring at it for more than five seconds and approached him proactively.

"Who wants to touch a pile of bones!"

[New member of the magical creature family: Little Skeleton, formerly a human skeleton at Luwaka Biological Laboratory]

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Shami checked the time, getting excited, it was time to fulfill the main quest.

He clapped his hands on an open space.

"Look at me, look at me, I have an announcement!"

"Everyone, this will be our first group activity as the demon clan! Let’s all get active!"

Shami opened a teleportation gate.

The magical creatures all went through.

Shami went last; he had deliberately chosen the village.

In the main quest, he had acquired two very useful skills.

[Main Quest: Contract a Demon Envoy and have it lead magical creatures to invade a human village.]

[Task Note 1: Skills are available to claim.]

[Claim.]

[Skill Name: Attention Surveillance]

[Content: Able to survey the level of attention triggered by an attacked location]

This skill is very practical. Using it, Shami examined around Yili Village and finally found a small village where an attack by magical creatures would almost go unnoticed.

[A village without even a name]

[The attention that can be attracted from the outside world and heroes after an attack by magical creatures: almost 0]

Based on this skill, Shami decided to attack the small village 30 kilometers from Yili Village, a place hardly visited by adventurers.

After everyone arrived two kilometers outside the small village in the forest, Shami let Lureya lead the magical creatures forward while he stayed in place.

In this main quest, there’s no need for the Demon King to personally appear on the field, and as the trump card of the demon clan, the Demon King certainly can’t show up so early, it would lower the grandeur.

Shami found an open space to sit down and began using the second skill.

[Skill Name: Briefing]

[Content: Generate briefings of relevant matters involving the Demon Envoy. As the Demon King sits in the observation seat, the situation could be remotely understood via the briefing. However, it only has viewing functionality, and cannot impose one’s will.]

This skill sounds quite fitting for a Demon King’s identity.

Shami used [Briefing] for the first time.

Moments later, he felt a three-dimensional picture gradually forming in his mind, as if the entire Aireland Continent was entering his brain, the scene descending from high above to end up hovering low over the unnamed village, seeing Lureya and a group of magical creatures slowly moving toward the village.

The perspective allowed him to freely change angles. But he couldn’t move it too far away, like checking out Eden City’s city defense facilities was impossible.

The skill provides a boundary-limited view, probably only fully sensing things near the Demon Envoy.

[Primary Combat Force Comparison]

[Demon Clan:

Demon Envoy Lureya

Slimes: 22 at level 13; 1 at level 33

Skeleton Soldier: 1]

[Unnamed Village:

Adult male villagers: 38

Free-roaming dogs: 2]

[Battle is about to commence.]

The briefing gradually synchronized with the images, and Shami perked up.

"Great, let me see your performances."

Shami watched as Lureya led the slimes, slowly emerging from the forest, getting closer to the village. Lureya sighed helplessly. ’Lunch doesn’t even include grilled meat, there’s really no incentive for the employees~’. Lureya kicked a pebble forwards, looking as if she wanted to go on strike.

[Demon Envoy Lureya, along with 23 slimes and 1 skeleton soldier, is approaching the human village. Demon Envoy Lureya keeps complaining about Shami, and the overall morale of the team has significantly dropped.]

"Don’t start saying things that affect the troop’s morale, flat-chested!"

Grumbles aside, Lureya still led the magical creatures slowly through the woods.

[500 meters from the village. The people inside the village remain unaware of the impending danger, continuing with their daily tasks.]

[Lureya stopped complaining and stopped moving, beginning to cautiously survey the surroundings.]

"Did you realize your mistake? You’re actually aware of possible traps? I might have underestimated you, Lureya."

[Lureya had the slimes encircle her, crouched in the center, and from the storage space, she took out a pair of fleeced black stockings, preparing to put them on her head.]

"So she’s planning on disguising! But putting stockings over the head completely dishonors the Elf Race!"

[’Indeed, putting on stockings isn’t suitable for a young girl. Then I’ll have to use the second method.’]

Surrounded by the slimes, Lureya began her elaborate disguise, putting on a sturdy hat to conceal her golden hair and pointed ears, which could expose her identity, and wrapping her face with specially made silk fabric from the Elf Race, donning a tightly-packed cloak. Disguise complete.

"So there was a normal method after all. Though this look screams robber, it’s obvious to anyone it seems."
