Chapter 396: The Deal Pt.32

After he had been left alone to wonder what the Demon Lord would be like in person Donny quickly started to sweat from every part of his body. Resisting the Demon Lord over the years had only been possible because they were speaking through some weak mental connection the Demon Lord used to talk people into things they probably didn't want.

He had been able to resist this major annoyance because of the distance but that wasn't what was about to happen to him this time in all reality. From what he had heard from people about the Demon Lord there was a good chance he was going to end their conversation thinking everything the Demon Lord had said to him was true and everything he would do in his new false reality would be his own idea.

"I'd honestly be better off killing myself now." It was a sad end for him but he had the potential to be a scourge if the Demon Lord got into his head and convinced him that using his other two affinities was a good idea. He just needed to find something to stop his heart now in the hopes they wouldn't notice to quickly and revive him.

Of course they would probably then just use his body to make an undead that would fill his role but he didn't know how that worked and maybe the undead version of him wouldn't be able to use Metal Magic and would therefore just be the same as every other undead.

Not letting himself think about the consequences of what he was about to do Donny started turning the shackles but gave up when he wasn't able to get the chain anywhere near his neck. It was too bad because choking himself to death would have probably been silent enough that he would have gotten away with it and the only other silent way he could think of was unreliable because your unconscious body usually cleared the blood out of your lungs well enough that you didn't actually die.

Getting his teeth around his tongue Donny tried to just bite into it to start the process but something in the back of his mind stopped him. Knowing it was just his selfish desire to live, Donny fought it off and plunged his teeth into his tongue while repeating that it wouldn't be him anymore after the Demon Lord got into his head.

Tiff had arrived at her location about an hour ago but had still to get close because she still didn't have complete trust in her new skill to keep her undetected. When the God of Light had given her the job he had said she was the first to have it and that meant there could be problems that he hadn't expected in any of the skills she got from this job.

The fact she hadn't been detected so far made it seem everything was fine but there was always a chance she had just gotten lucky. It had happened to her many times when she was on the streets as a little girl trying to stay unnoticed since most kids would have died a few days after going on the run while she had stayed alive long enough to get her invisibility skill.

After letting another ten minutes or so pass watching the normal seeming town Tiff decided she couldn't just wait all day and started to slowly walk to join the rest of the people walking around the streets while keeping her eyes open for anything that might help her find the giant without having to stop someone and get information out of them.

There was a good chance getting information from these people would be extremely difficult because there was a good chance they were all either under the effects of a curse or were secretly undead even if they weren't aware of it. This was how the Demon worshipers kept their secrets so well even in seemingly hostile territory.

After looking around and not finding any large doors that led underground Tiff gave up on the foolish idea that she could just stumble upon the giant and started to look for a target to feed to her other new skill. She could honestly pick anyone because of the reasons she said earlier but she wanted someone who looked like they might actually be a Demon Worshiper trying to blend in with everyone else because that would be the face that could get her info on their secret base.

Of course she wouldn't have their passwords or anything like that but she could turn invisible so getting in and assassinating their giant should be no problem as long as she was able to find their base. After having a look around Tiff eventually found a few people that seemed much more blissful than they should have and picking the one who was the palest she started to trail them.

After a while they passed through an empty part of town and Tiff had been ready to make her move when she decided an empty part of town might be the worst place for her to attack someone if she was looking for a group of Demon Worshipers.

They tended to make the area around them devoid of life with their habit of killing people for experiments or more soldiers and they had control over this town for a long time so maybe the signs had started to show after months of them making people disappear without them being replaced like they should have.

It was a shame not trying the new skill out but finding the base without the possibility of killing an uninvolved person for looking a certain way was worth a few hours of her time and with the hours of extra time she had from how fast she had made it here she could decide to find a good place to watch and see if she saw any suspicious people or things happen without making the God of Light wait.
