Speed Is King

GRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The demon screamed out very, very loudly. He had never felt so angry before in its entire life!!

He grabbed the black ball and injected a horrifying amount of energy into it, intending to cause the black ball to explode and destroy the bastard who was so arrogantly slapping him!

However, before he could do much more than that, a dark shadow fell upon him and dried up the energy which he sent into the black ball.

"Dark Saint Cipir. You are hereby demoted to Dark Lord. Get the hell out of my sight." A light, shrieky voice rang out of the darkness and an unmatched power enveloped Dark Saint Cipir.

Crack!!

"UWAAAAAAAAA-" Dark Saint Cipir's shriek of agony was cut short as he was physically flung away into the distance. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

A little girl who looked no older than fifteen years old with long blue hair and fully blue eyes appeared before Elliot. She wore a blue dress, and looked like a cute girl next door.

"Kekekekekekeke. You are an interesting fella! Interes-" She started to say.

"Shut up, little bitch. Are you the leader of these low lives?" Elliot said with slight impatience and exasperation, as though he was dealing with a bunch of clowns intent on wasting his time with retarded shows.

"HAHAHAHAHA! You're an arrogant one! Old Pride would love you to bits! The two of you are perfect for each other! Too bad you landed in my hands. But you do need to learn how to be courteous to your elders. Take this as a lesson from a wizened old God to a cocky youth." The little blue girl said in her shrieky voice.

Her power entered the black ball and immediately, the black ball in front of Elliot released a sharp but strange energy blade and surged towards his body.

However, Elliot merely smiled and redirected the energy blade back towards the black ball and produced a twin at the blue girl's location!

Her eyes widened lightly in shock as Elliot's energy blade buried itself in her tummy, and caused a little bit of blood to appear.

"WHAT! You… you…" Instead of getting angry, however, the blue girl's eyes shined with greed.

Jackpot! Her eyes seemed to scream.

Elliot smirked at her, and continued to insult her to raise the difficulty of "getting" him.

"You f***ing sl*** bi***. Eat that weak ass energy blade. In fact, have another one!" Elliot reconfigured the black ball to release an even more powerful energy blade on her side.

However, the blue girl easily countered his attack.

"You're a strange one. You are able to reconfigure our black ball, and even manipulate the runes to such an incredible extent. I want you. Name your price." The blue girl immediately said seriously.

"You want to recruit me after trying to stab me? What do you take me for? A punching bag?" Elliot said in a highly annoyed tone.

"It was just a test." The blue girl said smoothly. "Let me compensate you with a high grade dark rune. And let me assure you, that our ability to pay you would blow your wildest imagination away."

"Hehehe. Now you're talking. Tell whoever is in charge of your damn realm that this realm will be mine, with or without his help. There is no room here for him. However, I am very much willing to share the Shadow Realm with him. That, and…" Elliot paused a moment for effect. "And the Higher Realms."

The little blue girl's eyes widened impossibly wide and she started to tremble violently in excitement.

"Go, tell him that I want a meeting with him." Elliot waved her away. "And tell him that to prove his sincerity, I expect a full catalogue of Dark Runes, as well as a thousand God-tier weapons and equipments for me to quickly finish conquering this realm.

Tell him not to bother to show up for the next meeting if he doesn't have all these ready." Elliot didn't wait for her reply before directly turning the black ball to dust.

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Milking The Devil 101." Elise Sands laughed excitedly from the side.

"Aren't you a little bit too forceful and violent with her?" Jessica Sands asked. "You might piss them off instead."

"Of course he won't. Against gentle souls, yes, he might cause irrecoverable damage to their relationship with such words. But against filthy and violent demons like them? His words are like the caress of a sexy lover." Jul'Taras laughed.

"Ooooh sexy lover." Jessica Sands blushed lightly at such words.

"At any rate, I expect that we will be in touch with the devil soon. Elliot, how do you plan to deal with him?" Elise Sands asked.

"Me? I won't be meeting him. I shall continue to be arrogant and obnoxious, and blow him off. I think… Jess. You should meet him." Elliot said.

"What?? Me-meet the devil?? No I don't think I can do it!" Jessica Sands said in horror.

"Sure you can. Let me teach you a trick. Just imagine that the devil is a cute little puppy in a demon costume." Elliot said with a smile.

There was silence for a moment before Monkey King burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha! I would like to try negotiating with a cute little puppy in a devil costume!" He volunteered. "It would be the experience of a lifetime!"

"Let monkey do it! He's good with animals!" Jessica Sands immediately said.

"Sure. Just make sure you piss him off and extort as many things as you can." Elliot said.

"Hohoho. Don't worry. I will bleed him dry." Monkey King said confidently.

"Try and get some info on his plans and his troop strength as well." Jul'Taras added. "We might need to fight them once the Shadow Realm falls."

"Ok. Leave it to me." Monkey King nodded.

"Good. I hope you're ready. Because I think we found another big one. Much bigger than before!" Elise Sands said. "My clone is on its- ah. It's here!"
