Chapter 864: Defenses Are Up

Shouts resonated throughout the city centre of Dushkarbor. Many weren't happy with Lith's reign and criticized his decisions.

Even though the people of this world weren't smart enough, they had the basic human tendency of disagreeing and getting into conflict for the strangest of reasons.

There was a saying that one couldn't please everybody and that was true. One really couldn't.

To the ones who were protesting and trying to show Lith his place, what Lith did in response was simply execute them.

Their bodies cut apart on the spot, that's it. No mercy whatsoever.

This sudden response from him caught everybody off guard and made them run away.

From this point onwards, fear was instilled in the hearts of the one that wished to oppose Lith.

People realized why and how he was able to defeat the King and then the rest of the monarchs of the world. Fear was an all time high among everyone after this incident.

Lith's reputation soared further and with fear and reverence in their hearts, people continued to work hard.

While continuing to be soaked in work and juggling one task after another, another year passed by.

It had been three years since arrival and the overall geography, landscape, and culture had done a hundred and eighty degree flip.

Lith's overall strength had increased by leaps and bounds while the maids he possessed had also gotten much stronger than ever.

The maids also saw an increase in their overall proportions by a subtle margin all thanks to Lith stimulating them every single day.

The maid force in this world, even though it only consisted of six people, had actually turned out to become the strongest. Every alliance and family feared them as they were a force to reckon with.

Due to their increased strength, Lith found himself slightly relieved from some of his work as they were doing a good job as per his instructions.

Dushkarbor's centre now possessed a watch tower, all around it were big walls, and overall, it became a fortress with a defense not even King Ranks could break with their raw strength.

Traps were laid out, attacking positions were set, and the people were training consistently as well according to the training regime Lith had set up.

This case was everywhere in the world without a single exception.

The situation was either do or die and awareness of it was spread so far and wide that even a little child knew about it.

Demons were extremely cruel and would torture the hell out of the people in this world. To help give people an idea as to what they would do, Lith picked out a few vile people and did a demonstration on them.

People were definitely traumatized after that incident and had been puking for many days after just remembering the grotesque scene.

Fear was replaced by dread, dread was replaced by sorrow, sorrow was replaced by anger, and finally, anger was replaced by conviction.

People were determined to kill each and every single demon they came across and for that, they trained as hard as possible. Even the elderly and the children participated in the training and did their level best to be of use.

One good thing about cultivation was that even old people could get strong as fuck and have strength of extreme levels.

Children's case was different as they didn't have the necessary physique or soul strength to hold onto their cultivation. They were thus the weakest in this society and had to be protected because they were also the future of this world.

There was only body cultivation available and only few could do magic cultivation.

The magic cultivation also wasn't as reliable because it only worked in the hotspots. The demons had to be first placed there and only then can magic attacks occur.

Either that or a person had to be strong enough to send proper long range attacks.

Strategies, defensive capabilities, warfare... Everything was really stressful.

Lith wished he had Ralph in this place to help strategize things and Dennis to lead the people.

Lith would be the link between the two and help them coordinate properly, thereby having a proper flow of things.

For now, the strategist as well as the commander was he, himself. The maids were supposed to take on the role of a general and lead respective groups to charge against the incoming onslaught.

Such big preparations made the chonky boi slightly concerned as he gazed at the defensive things from the watchtower in Dushkarbor's centre.

Currently, he was alone and the reason was...

'Tch. Tch. Big bro gives in to his urges and has no self control. Women are his weakness, what a pity.'

The chubby kid was sitting on a chair, eating candy, and shaking his head in disappointment as he saw the lit houses at a distance.

Those houses belonged to Lith's residential complex and the kid wasn't so stupid to not understand why Lith would always make him go run laps and bully him for being fat.

To be honest, he wasn't even that fat. He was just a healthy boy. He didn't understand what beauty standards did his dumbshit big bro even have to think of him as chubby.

Also, he was actually really handsome in his original self. He was the damn Demon King for heaven's sake!

He still is the Demon King, but a sized down version with the same strength. If the chubby kid wanted to, he could destroy this world with the flick of his finger.

But he wouldn't do it. His big bro lived here and gave him many treats and also spoiled him. There was no way he was going to ruin this.

Just as this thought cross the chonky boi's mind, something suddenly struck him and shivering, he shook his head and said,

"Huh? What was I just thinking?"

The chubby kid, unknowingly, on a random afternoon, had gained consciousness.

Having self awareness now, the kid looked around and then at himself.

Anger surged within him and trembling with agony, he looked at the sky and said, "Damn wizard! DAMN YOU WIZ— Baat!—Yo, fuck that wizard!"

Just in a mere instant, the consciousness was lost once again as the Demon King was overstimulated.

Being back to his chubby kid persona, the Demon King looked around and said, "Baat! I don't like that wizard for sealing me like this, but I'm glad he did. I wouldn't have found big bro otherwise, baat!"

Chonky boi then looked at the sky and said, "Baat! Don't be stupid and attack recklessly, big bro is not to be trifled with!"
