Although the military situation is urgent, at least we have returned. The Demon King arranged for his subordinates to lead us to our lodging. However, Greed did not dine with us, merely bidding us farewell before departing.

As she left, though, she turned back to the guards at the door and said something, "Don't underestimate these people; they fought against the Seventh Generation Werewolves and came out unscathed."

At that moment, we didn't understand why she said that. It wasn't until after we finished our meal and saw the demon clans looking at us with awe when we stepped out that I grasped the intention behind Greed's words.

"Well, that's a good thing. Otherwise, there might be radical elements from some race who think we humans are weak and want to challenge us. Wouldn't that be troublesome?" Hei Luoli commented nonchalantly.

"Although that may be true, I'm still a bit worried," I admitted. "There might be people who see us as worthy opponents and come looking for trouble."

"If they come, bring it on! I was so frustrated when I couldn't cut through that guy who was as hard as a rock earlier. Even after all this time as a dual sword warrior, it was the first time I encountered someone I couldn't defeat with all my skills. It's just embarrassing!" Aliyah vented, sipping her drink indignantly.

I must say, compared to the more common foods outside, the food at the Demon King's camp was surprisingly well-prepared. At least, we didn't feel that inexplicable sense of danger while eating. And the cuisine was somewhat reminiscent of our original world, even including dishes like boiled fish.

...The only issue was what kind of fish they used for the boiled fish. After pondering it for a while, I decided to forgo seeking the answer. After all, the boiled fish was quite delicious.

And then there was Aliyah's drink, which, despite us not knowing what it was made of, surprisingly tasted somewhat like cola and was carbonated. It was a satisfying experience for those of us who hadn't had a carbonated drink in a long time. Although I heard that this drink wasn't a top seller even in the demon realm, I assume that's relative to their size, and such beverages might not be stimulating enough for them.

Well, let's set aside the eating and drinking issues for now; the key question lies ahead.

Now that the enemy's rear guard has been blown up, they have initiated a full-scale attack. But what do we do next?

While we were somewhat confident before, truth be told, we didn't just come out unscathed facing the Seventh Generation; we experienced a complete retreat. If the enemy were to unleash their full power and knock me out immediately, I would definitely be the first one to resurrect.

Although I know there's a graveyard in the Abyss, and I've been there before, I don't know where I'll revive if it happens now.

At this moment, I can sense that the drive we had at the beginning is fading from everyone's spirit.

Even I can't convince myself.

You see, the person controlling my body has been alive for who knows how many centuries. Even though the level of my body isn't very high, the fact that he can control so many powerful beings to attack means the enemy's strength is definitely not weak. It may even be much stronger than the Seventh Generation.

If that's the case, forget about me; even if all of us were to attack together, we wouldn't be sure of defeating him and reclaiming my body.

After all, I still have no idea how to extract the other party's soul from my body. Should I use the Dagger of Death? Even though it's a method, is simply stabbing enough?

If only things were that easy.

And the big premise is, can we even reach him to stab him.

Forget it, let's talk about it later. We're already here now, even if we want to level up somewhere, we don't know how long it will take. Furthermore, the creatures in the Abyss are well-matched in level and abilities, and since monsters tend to gather in groups, going to level up recklessly would be a big gamble.

"Anyway, before our next battle with the other party, we need to be fully prepared. We need to get some light-based weapons at the very least. Although the weaknesses between other elements are not very obvious, the light and dark opposition is just too direct. With light-based weapons, we can at least have some advantage," Bai Yueguang said, looking at me.

"Don't count on me. Just look at the equipment we have. It's either bought from the roadside or found in some dungeon. How can we possibly have light-based weapons? Unless we go to some angel's tomb or directly rob angels, where would we get such equipment?" I replied.

"...Fair point," Bai Yueguang responded helplessly after searching his mind.

"What should we do then? Get some holy water, light-based flash grenades?" I asked.

"Don't be ridiculous. You think I'm a light element converter? Making so many of these things is no joke. But..." Bai Yueguang paused.

"But?" I inquired.

"If you were to give me a large number of magic stones filled with mana, that wouldn't be impossible. But getting them now is not easy."

"In that case..."

Just as Bai Yueguang was about to continue, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

I was startled, nearly pulling out my weapon, but then I heard the person say, "Um, the Demon King asked me to call you over."

"Goodness," I said to the newcomer. "I understand the Demon King's mood now. Greed, could you please give a hint next time you appear?"

Yes, the person who arrived was Greed, appearing so stealthily that it could almost give someone a heart attack.

"A hint...like the sound of 'chirp' or 'wah'? Which one is better?" Greed asked.

"Next time, please appear five meters away and say hello to everyone," I suggested.

"Oh...that sounds boring," Greed remarked.

"Enough, let's not dwell on that," I said.

She wore a mask, hiding her expression, but I knew it was best not to argue with her at this moment.

"Why did the Demon King call us? Another ambush plan?" I asked.

"No, the Demon King wants to see you privately," Greed explained. "You can also meet my sisters on the way, consider it a small pre-battle gathering."

"Haha..." I chuckled.

Greed's sisters...are they the other Seven Sins?

The Demon King's taste is quite unique. Could this person be a yuri?

...

Something doesn't feel right, well, never mind. Let's discuss it later.

"Well then, we also have something to discuss with her," I said.

"Alright, let's go~" Greed replied.
