24 New Chief Torture

"That's because of Princess's Skill, Chaste Healing."

"What kind of skill is that?" Evan was a little curious about the skill that saved his life.

"A skill that can increase HP and recover from heavy injuries just by sleeping with a skill user. It shouldn't work if you're dead." Stroking his beard, Piwood explained.

If Evan hasn't died from that last attack, maybe the damage he received from the last attack has weakened due to Lord Baselix's condition.

Victory might seem like an impossible feat for a level 2 Evan. But in this kind of deadly duel, Evan was in an advantageous position.

He not only competes for strength with his enemy, but he also competes with the experience and knowledge he got when he was a knight. This allowed Evan to close the difference in strength between them.

The Lamia Lord, who always relaxed and continued to rely on his subordinates to fight, was not an equal opponent to Evan, who had trained in hell.

If only he still carried his human form, maybe his fight with the Lamia Race would not risk his life.

But most importantly, he didn't get any rewards after defeating a Middle-Class Demon.

Evan thought that the system in his mind had forgotten to give him the quest, but remembering that the fight was due to his vengeful intent made him fight against such a strong enemy. Maybe even the goddess would doubt that he would win in that battle.

'You underestimate this former knight too much, system!!'

*ding*

[Sudden Quest: Kill 100 Mob Class enemies. Penalty: Seriously injured!]

'Hey..hey... I was just kidding... I just survived death and now I'll be seriously injured if I fail.'

Evan was surprised as the system responded to his taunts with the Sudden Quest. However, when he found out that the quest had no time limit, he felt a little calm.

After heaving a sigh of relief, he accidentally saw a semi-transparent mark in the upper right corner of his vision. 'W-wait, what red symbol is this??'

He focused his gaze, and the small mark was enlarged into a small screen.

'Great, two Sudden Quests with Torture Penalty. I suspect that you are the reincarnation of the tormentor's head?' Evan smiled wryly with an unreasonable penalty.

'But, when is the quest coming?? I don't remember the system talking about this quest! Ah! Barbaric System!' He suspected that this quest had come while he was using the Fearful Evil Eyes Skill.

He smiled when Piwood was in front of him. The ability to quickly switch places would really help him reach the Throne Room.

"Piwood! Take me to the throne room."

Piwood nodded at the King's request. After Evan climbing on his shoulder, he immediately touched his ring and immediately moved away from the village head.

*Zap*

Arriving at the Throne Room, Evan was surprised by the remnants of his fight with the Lamia Lord. The luxurious room had turned into rubble, and the red sunlight was illuminating the place.

There were also 11 long white cloths covering the victims. But none of them had the size of a Lamia Lord. Evan became even more worried when he saw the disturbing red mark in his vision.

"I asked the monsters in the village not to come here. So they haven't been buried yet..." Piwood tried to guess the purpose of his King taking him to the Throne Room.

"...Where is Lamia Lord's Body? There should be 12 white cloths if you add Lamia Lord." Even though he had climbed onto Piwood's head which was 3 meters high, he still couldn't find his target.

"...Ah, you're right. I was the one who covered the body with a white cloth over there." Piwood tried to confirm his king's words, and he was surprised that the Lamia Lord's body had disappeared from its place.

"Is he still alive and running away?" Evan was a little doubtful about Lamia Lord's condition because he fainted first before confirming his enemy's condition.

"I've confirmed that he is dead." Piwood nodded confidently.

"Ahhh!! P-piwood, do you have any tracking skills or something." Evan screamed as he only had 2 minutes to search for the bodies that had escaped.

"I've tagged him, so, wait a minute..." Piwood closed his eyes.

Evan, who didn't want his time to be wasted, joined the search by looking out through the destroyed wall.

"I saw him! He was around the forest." Piwood alerted him after his perception found the target.

Hearing that information, he immediately turned his gaze to the forest around the castle. Seen a white cloth walking towards the swamp.

"There they are. Let's go after them." Evan descended from the shattered wall and jumped on Piwood's shoulders.

"Your plan is quite dangerous, My Lady." One of the 4 Lamias who brought their Lord protested the Female Lamia, who had a half-human form.

"Why is big brother so stupid that he doesn't realize what he's fighting is the True Dragon King Reincarnation. At least we're not letting our Lord's body be in the enemy's place." The purple-haired Lamia girl looked annoyed and sad because her brother and her race had been slaughtered.

There is a custom in the Lamia Race, where when the previous Lamia Lord dies, its power or Core Energy will be passed on to the Successor so that the next Lamia Lord has the power to use the Infernal Spear.

Because Lord Baselix had died, the surviving Lamia appointed Lord Baselix's younger sister as the next Lord.

They continued slithering away from the castle, which had been a silent witness to the Lamia Race's sadistic massacre. But their escape was stopped when the tree roots around them coiled around and lifted their bodies, and Lord Baselix's corpse fell to the ground.

"Shit, we've been caught." The snake girl tried to break free from the roots wrapped around her stomach, but the difference in strength made her just do nothing.

Evan, without further ado, immediately moved to retrieve the Energy Core in Lord Baselix's body.

[Sudden Quest Completed!]

"Huff, luckily there was still time. If I had known there was this quest I probably wouldn't have relaxed by bathing with the monster girls." Having finished with his business, Evan shook off his bloodstained paws before hopping onto Piwood's shoulder again.

"W-wait a minute, True Dragon King…." The Lamia girl shouted from a height.

Evan looked at the hanging Lamias. He didn't think about saving or killing them. "Piwood, I leave them to you?"
