The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor
Chapter 261 - 246: Slave Market
"Um... Lord Lynn, I know I was wrong. Could you please take it off?"
Sifrin wasn’t unable to forcefully remove the Succubus Collar, but the cost was really high. Even someone as wealthy as her would feel the pain for three years. If there were any other way, she definitely wouldn’t want to do it herself.
"Just keep it on for now. I’ll take it off once we reach the Light Empire."
Lynn put the Succubus Collar on Sifrin in a moment of anger, but since it was on, he wouldn’t just take it off so easily. He had to give her a lesson to make her remember.
"How long do I have to wait..."
Sifrin scratched at the collar on her neck and wailed loudly. How could she go out with this thing on her? People would definitely think she’s a pet.
"I’m about to head to the Light Empire; you’ll only have to wear it for a day or two at most, so don’t worry."
Lynn wasn’t just trying to comfort Sifrin; he was actually reporting the situation to his wife and kids.
He planned to take a trip to the Light Empire. How long exactly, he wasn’t sure yet. At least he wouldn’t be staying long—maybe two or three days, or at most about a week.
"Lynn, you’re going to the Light Empire? Remember to get a couple of Blessing Necklaces for the kids. I heard that the Blessing Necklaces enchanted by the Saint Emperor of Light can make children immune to all diseases and grow up healthy."
Upon hearing that Lynn was going on this trip, Vivian put down the cat food and ran over. Nowadays, apart from Lynn, what concerned her most were their two kids. Lynn didn’t need her worry at all; she just needed to take good care of the children.
As for her parents, they’d occasionally visit the Lynn household recently. Their health was excellent, and they even planned to create a new character, so she didn’t have to worry about them either.
"What are you going to the Light Empire for? Is there a war coming?"
Compared to Vivian, Catherine obviously had more thoughts. She didn’t believe Lynn would go to the Light Empire for no reason, leaving his lovely wife at home unattended.
There had to be a major event, like a war or something; otherwise, he had no reason to go over there unless her uncle foolishly invited him to uproot some evil.
"There might be a battle, but you don’t need to worry. For me, it’s not the slightest bit dangerous; it’s just a bit of travel."
Lynn didn’t intend to hide the truth from everyone anyway. Once the fighting started or after it ended, they’d find out. Plus, attacking the Demon Race was not something disgraceful like him becoming the Demon Emperor.
"As long as you don’t just charge into the Demon Realm, I naturally won’t worry about you. But the disparity in strength is concerning. Among the Miracle World’s combatants who can face the Demon Race powerhouses, there are no more than 20 people. Is this strength enough?"
Hearing Lynn’s words, Catherine furrowed her brows. Due to the Lust curse, she was particularly focused on the Demon Race, and she roughly knew the Demon Race’s strength on the frontline.
Honestly, if Lynn wasn’t counted, the allied forces of the Miracle World wouldn’t be a match for the Demon Race. If not for the lingering aftereffects of that divine-and-demonic battle, over within merely a month, the territories the Miracle World had recaptured would have all been lost again.
Now leading the divine soldiers and generals to win that battle against the Demon Race over a year ago, Lynn reappeared, but the once vast army of divine soldiers and generals remained nowhere to be seen.
Just relying on Lynn alone, it probably wouldn’t be that easy. No matter how powerful he is, he’s still just one person. Even if he’s close to being a god, he’s not an actual god.
"Don’t worry. With me around, I’ll take care of all the Demon Race members over level 750 by myself. The rest, we’ll see how capable they are. If I kill all the enemy experts and the allied forces still can’t defeat the Demon Race, then they deserve not being able to avenge themselves." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Lynn’s original plan was just like that. He would handle decapitation, and the leftover Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, he’d kill as many as he could. Completely eradicating the organized Demon Race army fell to the allied forces. Firstly, so they could avenge their fallen comrades with their own hands. Secondly, because his Fighting Spirit had its limitations.
As a Warrior class, his usual monster hunting relied on regular attacks and low-level skills. Only when encountering outdoor bosses would he go all out, so his stockpile of potions mainly consisted of large Red Potions, with only a little Blue Medicine.
Previously, during the world quest to slay the Demon Dragon Emperor, his potion consumption was immense, awakening skills and unleashing high-level skills wildly. After that battle, he still had some Red and Blue Potions left, but not enough to sustain him through annihilating a Demon Race army in the tens of thousands.
Without potion recovery, his total Fighting Spirit might not even be enough to cut through half an army of the Demon Race. As for fighting monsters as usual, relying on shot-by-shot regular attacks, how long would it take to bring down an entire Demon Race army...?
In such warfare, his solo efficiency wouldn’t be vastly superior compared to a High Saint Tier level 750. Against a level 750 Mage or Divine Mage, he might even fall short.
"Can I come along? I also want to settle my grudge with the Lust Demon King."
Catherine pondered for a moment, harboring some rather naive thoughts.
With her current strength, she’d only be like a brigade-level expert on the battlefield and definitely not as strategic as a real brigade leader. She couldn’t even compare with the Demon Race’s commanders. How could she even fantasize about confronting the Lust Demon King?
Besides, the Lust Demon King Phantom now stood at level 954, no weaker than her deceased father. The only thing she might lack was combat experience.
If Catherine were to encounter Phantom, she probably wouldn’t even have the chance to surrender, let alone settle the score.
