The 0th Corps Commander Became Trash! [ TCF x INTKOT ]

Chapter 22 - Demon Arut's return

"It's nothing." I'm not letting you create a cult for me, that will never happen!

Deon brushed off the word religion. Originally if he explained it, Ririnell would have created a cult for him which he does not want at all!

"Oh well... Since you're back you must be here to meet the Demon King! He should be in the central garden right now."

"I see, thank you Ririnell." Please don't find some other way to create a cult... I beg of you.

Deon prayed that the moment wouldn't happen as he headed over to the Demon King's castle. This was the day he was going to meet the other species and that Eruhaben look a like, thankfully it's not Eruhaben.

He recalled about the information in the novel, the Demonic Realm that was commonly known as the realm of demons originally went by another name which was the Abyss where many other species resided in.

'This will be my nth time hearing insults or that I'm untrustworthy.'

"....This is great, the agent I sent to the human realm is back. Welcome back, Arut. How was your trip?"

"Quite horrible, the Empire is planning on waging war with the Ileon kingdom. They deserve it though."

The last part was said in a whisper however, everyone there had heightened senses as they weren't human and were all able to hear it and sweatdropped.

"I guess that means the Empire is planning to take over the continent huh."

"Yes your majesty. The Emperor is embarking on a conquest over the continent." Great here comes that blonde elf talking.

"I've heard a lot about this 'agent' of the Demon King. But is a human really that trustworthy."

"Well as long as Arut is here he is trustworthy."

The Demon King put arm hand on Deon's shoulder. The gesture tensed up the other kings and queens since they were used to the Demon King being aggressive.

"So what did the Emperor order you?"

"He told me to make sure and surveil the Demon King if he tried to interfere with the war and stop him from doing so as well as if your majesty did interfere then I must return back immediately."

"Seems Emperor-y enough."

'Did he just make up a word? No never mind I won't dig deeper into it...'

"Regarding another situation, recently magic has been used in the human realm and a new oracle was passed down."

"Magic and oracle... Tell me more about the oracle."

'Right... demons are usually hated by the world and gods in novels. Why did I expect him to know..'

"They said an otherworldly group of disasters has appeared. If we let the child of white near them, this whole world will collapse along with the innocence."

"Child of white..."

Everyone in the garden looked at Deon who fully fit the meaning; white hair, pale skin, and relatively innocent. They could see that Deon fit the oracle perfectly.

"...Is that so? Well, I'll investigate the magic and oracle after this. Go take a rest."

"Yes your majesty."

Deon turned back one last time as he left. He could feel the heavy atmosphere and looks from here. He also noticed that the Vampire Queen had a similar eye color to him however her hair was black.

Deon could tell why many assumed he was vampire, if he just dressed up a bit he might even be mistaken as one by a vampire themselves.

***

'It's been a while since I've been here... I wonder what chaos has ensued while I was gone.'

Deon was (extremely) unaware of the fact that he was the chaos that happened wherever he went.

Whoosh!

'What the fuck?! Who is throwing daggers outside right now?!'

Deon touched his cheek that now had blood dripping down. He was most likely sure that it was the work of a Corps Commander's work from being too excited.

"Sir Aruttttt!!!!"

Ben rushed over to Deon with his bags while in a disheveled state. He had rushed over immediately while doing paperwork when the necklace made of Deon's blood and the Demon King's magic had gone off.

(Okay but when did they take his blood????)

"..Ben..."

"I came as soon as this stone went off! Are you alright?!"

Ben circulated around Deon, though he knew that Sir Arut could regenerate fairly quickly he couldn't help but be worried. Sir Arut didn't seem to care about his health as well so he could at least check for injuries or issues with Sir Arut and help him in some way.

"I'm alright. Someone just likes to play with knives though. I didn't think I'd get cut."

Ben sighed as he followed behind Deon who replied with the same answer for the nth time. Sir Arut seemed to not care whatsoever about his health, was it because he was so strong even if he was weakened that he just didn't care?

"Sir Arut! You're back."

"Ed, I'm going to sleep."

Deon immediately headed towards the bed in his room. He lied in bed as he quickly fell asleep.
