Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 491 - The Shadows In New Grenton

It was taking quite long for Ren's group to reach New Grenton, as they were leisurely traveling. All throughout the journey Tsukiyomi kept on telling them that they should use [Air Walk] so that they could have a faster journey. Yet both Ren and Lara who could already use this technique didn't want to use it. On the other hand, Valdel had no knowledge of the technique.

Tsukiyomi was confused since based on the talent she has seen from Vadlel it wouldn't be that hard to teach him how to do it. So then why were they continuing to walk like normal people? She couldn't help herself as she asked Ren why they continue to walk like this, to which he answered.

"I want to have a feel of the land, and of the people. As you know In the past months I… no me and my people have done many things that would affect the entire continent, so I wanted to see the changes with my own eyes. Well, aside from that it's also nice to have a leisurely trip every now and then. Don't you think so?"

When Tsukiyomi heard Ren's answer she was rather surprised. This was the first time she had heard an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul that he wanted to slow down for a bit. This was a guy that wanted to battle every powerful being he meets, a person who seems to go full speed ahead in everything he does. Tsukiyomi looked at Ren for a minute before smiling and then hugging one of his arms.

"Kukuku, I understand, you want to have a longer walk to spend more time with me. Is that it, that's it isn't it? You could've just said so, you know."

As Ren was about to answer someone suddenly grabbed hold of his other free arm. Of course, that person was none other than, Lara. Tsukiyomi and Lara then started bickering again, this was now a normal occurrence that kept on happening all throughout their journey. While the three of them were doing their thing, Valdel who felt like an outsider watched them at the side feeling a bit alienated.

…

During the journey, Ren was able to discern that to the normal people the changes that happened within their respective kingdoms were nothing much. The only thing the normal populace were worried about were the Primordial Demons. The changing of rulers didn't mean much to them as no matter who ruled they still would do the same thing. As for the Primordial Demons, the general population feared them.

'I see… I guess I really need to find all of those Primordial Demons and make them my pets. I'll have Arthur locate them all. Hmmm, in his current level the Primordial Demons would make worthy opponents for him.'

…

After a few more days of journeying around, Ren and his group were finally near New Grenton. It was at that moment Ren and his group stopped walking.

"Kukuku, so many rats hiding in the shadows, what to do? I don't really want to deal with such weaklings. How about you do it, umm, what's your current name again, oh right Lara."

"Tsk, don't tell me what to do. Also if you don't like them, how about you just finish them off. I'm sure that just a flick of your hands, and then they're all dead."

"Can you two even pinpoint where they are?" Valdel asked the two ladies.

"Kukuku, I don't know about the little girl, but I of course can sense where they are." Tsukiyomi proudly declared, making Lara grit her teeth.

"… In my current state, I'm only able to sense them but not tell where they are."

"Kukuku, as expected even in this era I'm still above you."

"Why, you-"

"Quiet down you two." Ren finally interjected, making both Tsukiyomi and Lara shut up.

"So you guys must be the remnants of the Shadow Clan. We already know that you guys are there, so how about you show yourselves."

No one spoke and only the rustling leaves were heard. Ren sighed before he once again spoke to the hiding Shadow Clan members.

"The [Shadow treading] that you people are using is too imperfect… Hmm, wait I guess there are at least two of you that know how to actually use it properly. Well, anyway if you people don't show yourselves within the count of three, we'll be going on the attack."

"One."

"Two."

"Three. I see, don't say I didn't warn you guys, Tsukiyomi let's do this." Hearing Ren's order Tsukiyomi sighed.

"Should I kill all the rats?"

"No, just rough them up a bit." It was at that moment Ren stepped forward and placed his hand on the shadow of a nearby tree. Ren's hands went through the shadow as he lifted it up, he pulled out a person. Ren quickly subdued that person that he picked up.

It was at that moment that a dagger came flying towards him but Ren easily evaded. A few more daggers came flying towards Ren's companions. Tsukiyomi easily caught the dagger, Lara evaded it, while Valdel didn't even bother to dodge as the dagger throw wasn't hard enough to penetrate his skin or so he thought. He felt the dagger pierce through his defenses and a form of poison started to spread into him.

"Don't let your guard down you fool. They may be weak little rats, but they are poisonous." Ren berated Valdel who took out the dagger that was lodged on his shoulder. Valdel then used his mana to push out the poison spreading within his body.

"Yeah, I forgot how the Shadow Clan operated. I keep on forgetting since Every time I remember you were part of that clan I always forget that you were completely different from them."

While Ren and Valdel were talking to each other, Tsukiyomi continued to subdue the hidden Shadow Clan members.

"Hmph, these foolish descendants of mine, it's obvious that they are trying to test me. Do they want some kind of proof that I am who I say I am, is that it? Very well I will show them what a true member of the Shadow Clan can do. Tsukiyomi, Lara, Valdel the three of you back off, I'm going to teach these naughty descendants of mine a lesson!"

Ren smiled that vicious smile of his as his shadow expanded covering more than a hundred meters… Tsukiyomi and the others were quick on the uptake and took their distance from Ren.
