Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 12 - Adventurers Guild

After explaining to Valdel and Lara a part of his plan, the two had no more questions. They simply thought that Ren's plan was assuming too much. He was going to rely on too much coincidences to happen for his plan to succeed. Still they have never seen Ren fail before, so the two needed to trust him on this.

Once they were done with their talk the three walked towards the adventurers guild. The guild was a building in the middle of the town, it's size was a bit smaller than the knight academy, but it was still a huge building. Ren noticed that the building itself was layered with numerous types of defensive spells.

This was not only a normal guild building, this was obviously a fortress within a fortress. Ren felt excited to enter this place. At the moment with his strength destroying the guild building was doable, but will result in him using too much mana. Ren was truly excited, the one who placed the defensive spells around the building, was surely as strong or stronger than the current Ren, who has only around five percent of his former strength.

When the three of the entered the guild, some of the people inside looked at them for a moment, then didn't bother with them anymore. It was just another group of kids dreaming of becoming top adventurers, they weren't even properly equipped.

The more veteran adventurers didn't mind the newbie's since they too were once like that. The only true way to measure a great adventurer was an adventurer that doesn't die. No matter if you have the greatest equipment, or the greatest skill, death can still come. Only if you live tomorrow and onwards, can one be truly a good adventurer.

The only ones who truly took noticed of the trio were the young ones, the aspiring adventurers just like them. Also the newbie adventurers that, just survived a mission and still think that they're the uprising stars of the guild.

When they saw that Valdel was wearing some rusty armor, they snickered. Then they noticed Ren who wasn't wearing any proper equipment, he even had a ridiculous amount of hunting knives on his waist, which made him look even funnier. Still what caught these guys attention the most, was the beautiful girl that was with them.

The newbie adventurers know the rules of the guild so they couldn't lay there hands on the girl at the moment, but the aspiring adventurers that were here to register same as Ren's group know no fear.

A group of boys who were here to register approached Ren's group. The boys who were heading towards Ren's group looked like actual adventurers compared to Ren and Lara. The had proper equipment and based on their party line up they actually feel like an adventuring group. They had two front liners, a healer, a thief, and a magician.

The leader of the group who had a greatsword on his back tried to approach Lara, but Ren blocked his path. The man looked at Ren annoyed that he stopped him.

"I have no business with you. So get out of my way while I'm still being nice." The man threatened Ren by holding the handle of his greatsword.

Ren didn't move aside even with that warning, and instead snickered. He didn't even bother to look at the guy with the greatsword, as he asked one of the guild's receptionist something.

"Excuse me guild lady, if someone attacks me, and I kill him in self defense is that alright?" The receptionist Ren talked to was surprised that the average looking boy spoke to her. She wasn't sure why he was asking that kind of question, it can't be that he thinks he can actually win against that guy with the greatsword with his poor equipment. Still it is part of her job to answer these kind of questions.

"Yes if they attack first, no matter if you kill him, you will not be held responsible. That is if you have witnesses who saw the attack."

"Hear that small fry? If you don't want to die, you better back off." The man with the greatsword was stunned by what Ren said, so were his companions. But after a brief pause they all started to laugh.

"Hahaha, Really you think you can take me on?"

"Not only can I take you on, I can kill all of your friends as well. So if you're coming then come already!" Hearing what Ren said, the man with the greatsword couldn't take it anymore, even the thief of his group was about to throw a knife, but an arrow shot the knife out of his hand.

"Don't help me Lara, I will do this myself." Lara who shot the arrow lowered her bow, the man with the greatsword was shocked by Lara's skill, but he didn't care about that now. So without anymore hesitation he swung his greatsword downward. The strength that he used was enough to cleave even boulders in half.

Yet Ren simply responded by raising his pinky finger to block. His pinky finger was coated with his own mana, so the moment the blade touched the tip of his pinky finger the greatsword stopped.

Everyone who was watching this scene was shocked, the companions of the man with the greatsword, thought that their leader was simply toying with his opponent.

"Hey boss, why did you stop your strike?"

"Yeah boss finish him off already."

The boss of the group of men couldn't respond since he was exerting his full power to slash down at Ren. Seeing that there boss was actually seriously attacking made the group of men, panic a bit.

"Damn it let's all attack!"

Ren hearing what one of them said, was getting excited. It was time to show everyone here his overwhelming might. He just needed to show it once, and the effect that he wants to happen will happen.

Valdel who was watching the once arrogant group of men, attack Ren at the same time had mixed feelings. He already knew that Ren had planned to do this from the get go, and the only fate awaiting the arrogant men was death.

Valdel clenched his fist tightly, if he was stronger he could have avoided this fight all together. Valdel would've simply talked to the men, and if that didn't work he would've just beat them up, but not kill them. He believed that everyone has the ability to change, so he wanted to give these men a second chance... Unfortunately he didn't have the power to change his best friend's view of the world. He didn't have the power to persuade his best friend to stop. If only he had the ability then they could've avoided the impending outcome.

If Ren could hear Valdel's thoughts he would have puked. It was another of those heroic traits he hated so much, pushing ones own justice on another. Also the thinking of everyone is inherently good, and everyone deserves a second chance no matter how evil. These were the beliefs of a hero that Ren as the demon lord Kretos thought was hypocrisy.

Back in his previous life, these ideals of the hero was the very thing that killed millions of people, be they human or demon.

Yet since Ren couldn't read Valdel's mind, he wasn't bothered and was fully focused on how to show these men and the people in the guild that he is not someone anyone would want to mess with.
