Chapter 68

"Really didn't expect that guy's power to have grown to this extent."

Inside the Delmonte Grocery, although it was already closing time, the owner, Delmonte, was still working overtime due to the visit of an unreasonable customer. The dragon teeth, claws, and bones scattered on the ground needed to be quickly identified and stored. After that, he had to contact the smelters, metalworkers, and weapon craftsmen he knew, as per the succubus protagonist's instructions...

"An old... white dragon. And it seems stronger than the average of its kind. The amount of rare metals and ice magic contained is ridiculously high."

After carefully examining the dragon's teeth, Delmonte came to this conclusion: "If we were just casting a sword, there would be plenty left over. No, it would be a waste."

Naturally, Delmonte then thought, "Why not take a little for myself?" But after some consideration, he abandoned the idea. The succubus protagonist's vigilance was too strong, making it difficult to act.

"But that guy's strength is really... too much." Delmonte began to recall: "At first, he was just a skilled mercenary. But in just a few months, he could win in large-scale gladiatorial contests against all sorts of experts. Now, he can even slaughter dragons. This growth rate is straight out of a protagonist's playbook. Did he cheat? Use a cheat code? It's not at all magical..."

However, he thought, "For now, I can still control that guy. For our plan, this lone traveler is a convenient pawn. If used well..."

While thinking this, he multitasked, inspecting all the white dragon's claws and bones. After confirming everything was correct, he snapped his fingers, and a wall of the grocery store rotated open. An iron golem hidden inside came out and, following Delmonte's instructions, began to collect the dragon bones and teeth into a large chest.

At the same time, Delmonte opened a drawer on the counter, took out a ledger, and recorded the number and value of the dragon's teeth, bones, and claws. He also calculated the cost of making a sword from these materials.

"But, there seems to be something wrong with that guy's head... no, there's a big problem." He continued to think: "My original plan was to use him to eliminate Daniel von Mocavie. But it backfired. His unpredictable nature is similar to the essence of the Abyss. No wonder he was chosen... hmph.

With him alive, many things need to be changed. We need to revise our battle plans. And we need to be more cautious in using him... hmph, like an expired incendiary gel that could explode at any time, a troublesome guy.

For now, I'll just observe. For now, I won't give him any intense or optional tasks."

With this in mind, Delmonte opened the door to the back room and disappeared to the other side.

...

In the following period, the political situation in Nalathel underwent significant changes. Due to Little White's departure, his status as the legitimate heir of the Mocavie family remained, so his ambitious cousin, who was ready to inherit the Mocavie family, was greatly disappointed.

This cunning and more suitable leader for the Vampire Federation lacked the legitimate status to take the position. His rival cousins, who also had inheritance rights to the Mocavie family, worked hard to hinder him, causing the vampire forces to be severely divided.

This situation was even worse than when they were suppressed by demons. At least then, they had a nominal leader, and the Vampire Federation maintained a facade of unity.

But now, everything was over. Accusations of colluding with demons, plotting to harm Little White, and forcing him to leave were thrown around, and the factions of the Vampire Federation completely fell apart. The Nalathel vampire group was thus fragmented.

Delmonte, or the Yoggroth demons' plans, were completely shattered. The balance of power in Nalathel tilted towards the Demon Hand Guild. Some, or rather, some demons, were so excited that they howled like lunatics to the sky, almost transforming.

"This means my era has come, my era! Unifying all of Nalathel, taking back everything that should be mine from those annoying bats. The time has finally come, finally, finally, finally, finally—this is my turn, my era, my destiny has finally descended upon me! Oh, Abyss above, Abyss below, I, the great Lord Sid, will finally get what I want!"

In the Demon Hand Guild's headquarters, in President Sid's room, the perverted gentleman was laughing like an idiot:

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha ha... Once I gain control of this city, I will spread the philosophy of BoYlove throughout Nalathel, and then, I will find my beloved, yes, ah ah ah ah ah, my Lilith (probably like someone saying 'my angel'), where are you? Do you know how much I really, really miss you, ah, my Lilith..."

As he said this, he hugged the portrait of the succubus protagonist—her more feminine appearance before she received the Abyss's blessing—and rubbed and licked it.

"Ah, ah ha... No matter when I look, it's the same, so beautiful, so beautiful, how can there be such a beautiful boy in the multiverse? Ah ah ah ah ah... I can't stand it, ah~ ah~ ah~"

The succubus protagonist, who was also in Nalathel, trembled all over, feeling a chill down her spine.
