Demon Lord's Reincarnation
442 I will protect you
Kim Chul had a spell that could conceal his presence and effectively make him invisible. He wanted to use it, but not while the knights were looking at him. Once they knew what kind of spell he was using they could use something to counteract it. This was an easy thing to do for the knights since Temple had information of most of his abilities.
'Now that I think about it everything was suspicious since the beginning. Why did I tell them most of my skills and stats? I would normally keep those as a hidden card, yet I willingly gave them the information. Still, it's a good thing that I was able to keep some of it a secret.'
The more he thought about it the clearer his thoughts became. Kim Chul finally realized that many of his actions were weird, even considering that he thought that this world was some sort of game.
'It's like my thoughts were being manipulated.' When Kim Chul came to this realization, he felt a chill on his spine as if someone was watching him. He looked around and saw the two knights that were still following him, but other than them there doesn't seem to be anyone else that seems to take particular notice of him.
'That wasn't just my imagination, right?' Kim Chul gulped dryly as he finally understood what kind of situation he was truly in.
'Alright first things first, I need to escape from these two knights and check on the situation of the demi-humans.' Once he decided on his next course of action, Kim Chul quickly set out to do it. He slowly walked forward and when he spotted an alleyway he quickly ran towards the alleyway. The knights were quick to react and followed him, but as they got to the corner Kim Chul had disappeared. The two knights panicked as they looked around and found no trace of him. They knew that Kim Chul didn't use any spells since there was no mana fluctuation.
...
Kim Chul's level actually increased a lot after getting a hit in on Ren. So with his new physical abilities, he was able to burst out with extreme speed as he rushed by jumping to the rooftop of the nearby building. When he got on the rooftop he didn't stop and distanced himself from the knights. Once he was sure that the knights were far enough Kim Chul immediately used a spell to hide his presence.
'Alright, phase one is done. I better get to the lower district before they start to look for me in earnest.' Kim Chul started jumping from roof to roof.
...
While Kim Chul was heading towards the lower district the two knights that were supposed to monitor him tried to look around the area in search of the missing hero but it yielded no results. Even though they were reluctant to do so they had no choice but to quickly report this to the head priest. The two knights started running towards the temple.
...
Kim Chul finally arrived at the lower district, he was still using the spell that conceals his presence so that no one would notice him as he looks around. When he arrived at the lower district the first thing he noticed that there were many brothels. As a hot-blooded young teenager of course he was drawn to those places. Still, even though he really wanted to check those things out, he stopped himself as he wanted to see what Ren was talking about.
As he continued to walk around Kim Chul did notice that there were a ton of demi-humans in this area. There was the occasional human but it would seem that they were here simply for the brothels or some other shady business.
The deeper Kim Chul walked into the lower district the more horrible the living conditions became. At least near the brother area, there were still houses that look like houses, but deeper into the lower district, some of the houses were made out of some twigs and sticks. There were some that don't even have a roof above their heads and were sleeping on the floor.
Many of them were looking malnourished, the residents of the lower district seem to be either dying or were already dead. The whole place was like a nightmare, it was such a horrible sight to see. He saw some parents abandoning their children and on the other side there was someone dying and no one was willing to help. Not a single person did anything as all these horrible events were transpiring, it was as if this was the norm for them. Not even a single person batted an eye when someone died, instead, once the person was dead they quickly looted the body. It was like those online games he used to play, but this time around this wasn't a game.
...
As Kim Chul was trying to take in the horrors he just saw, he noticed human teenagers picking on some demi-human children. No picking was too light a word, they were beating them up violently while smiling and laughing. Anger was filling his heart as Kim Chul appeared before the human teenagers and grab hold of one of their hands.
"Stop! What the f*ck are you doing!"
The teenagers were surprised by the sudden appearance of Kim Chul, but after a while, they started glaring at him.
"Hey, I don't know who you are, but we were here first. Find your own demi-human scum to hit." One of the teens spoke to Kim Chul with an irritated tone. The others didn't even bother stopping as they continued to hit the children.
"The only scum I see here are you guys." Kim Chul's tone was ice-cold as he started leaking killing intent. The teens didn't know what was happening, but when they felt Kim Chul's killing intent they stopped. Kim Chul then controlled his strength and flicked the nearest teenager on his forehead. A loud thud was heard and then the teen fainted. When the teenager's companions saw what happened, despite being a little fearful of Kim Chul's killing intent, they still angrily shouted at Kim Chul.
"What the f*ck are you doing?! Do you even know who we are? You look like a lowly adventurer, our parents won't let you go! If you apologize now, we-" The teen wasn't able to finish what he wanted to say when Kim Chul flicked his forehead as well. The remaining teens finally lost their courage as they started to run away leaving their companions behind. Kim Chul didn't even bother to chase them as he looked at the frightened demi-human children.
He wanted to comfort them but as he approached them, the demi-human children cowered in fear and hugged each other while crying. Seeing the scene before him made Kim Chul gnashed his teeth in frustration. It turns out he wasn't a hero, he was simply a thug working for the evil ones all along. Kim Chul stretched out his right hand and healed the children.
Feeling the pain disappear the children looked at their bodies and saw that all of their wounds were gone. They then looked at Kim Chul and saw a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't worry, from now on I will protect you."
