A burning sensation was felt by all the people present inside the Alliance Hall, their prayers becoming louder and louder, making Dexter more excited.
"LEAD US!"
BOOM!
A small crater formed where Dexter's demonic form had stood. With his guttural roar, he silenced all the believers who looked at him with a mixture of excitement and fear, causing them all to kneel.
Bright knelt in front of Dexter, his eyes shining with full admiration.
"DARE SUCH VAIN AND SOULLESS WRETCHES PRESUME TO CALL ME FORTH?!" Dexter's theatrical voice echoed throughout the hall.
"We do not dare!" Bright replied, smashing his head against the floor.
"BRING THE SLAVES!"
Chains rattled on the floor as tens of slaves, almost naked, were forcibly dragged towards Dexter's demonic form.
'Where the heck did these slaves come from…'
"O Demon! Please accept this small offering... Souls of the 'Worldless' who couldn't protect their own worlds. Make them your own."
'Worldless? Protect their own worlds? What's this idiot blabbering about?'
Dexter analyzed the faces of all the slaves. Their eyes were void of life; some even looked at him with anticipation… anticipating death or to be eaten alive by a demon.
'Did I role-play too hard to make them like this? I should've gone straight to the point about why I came here…'
"Go to Sunscar Kingdom… Find the Lunatic Princess and present these slaves to her!"
The people present were shocked when they heard the demon speak their language. Dexter noticed this and immediately corrected himself:
"Fools! How could you understand me with your pea-sized brains?! You dare show disrespect towards me?!"
"N-no! Please forgive us…"
"Good! Now, you, clergy — what is your name?" Dexter pointed toward Bright, who was still prostrating.
"My name is Bright, your Reverence... from the World of Fire, Emberuin."
Dexter grinned, his razor-sharp teeth grinding.
"Foolish human… You call upon a Demon while wearing a white robe? Where is your brain?!"
"I'm s-sorry… I'll go change immediately..."
"Keke… No matter… Tell me, foolish human, why did you summon me?!"
Bright slowly raised his head and met Dexter's goat-like gaze. Gritting his teeth, he said:
"We, the natives of Emberuin, wish to become demons..."
Dexter walked slowly, all eyes upon him.
'Hmmm… Should I craft a consumable item to transform them into demons? But I don't have the necessary materials, and I don't even fucking know what's needed!'
'I could make them gather materials for me... They could even serve as my secondary army.'
'Even though I don't have a first one.'
Dexter then made his Death Scythe shimmer with purple light, its miasma slowly spreading through the hall. Though it had no real effect, it was purely for show.
"HA! HA! HA!" he roared.
"A HUMAN DARES TO BECOME A DEMON?! YOU THINK A MERE SLAVE IS ENOUGH FOR YOUR TRADE?! KEKE! BRING ME RARER MATERIALS, AND THEN WE CAN TALK!"
"B-But how can we give them to you?" Bright pleaded.
"Keke… Give them to the Lunatic Princess… And as a parting gift, I'll make you a demon — temporarily."
Dexter morphed his Death Scythe into a staff that granted transformation — though it only altered outer appearance, offering no physical enhancement.
He pointed it at Bright. All the purple miasma converged upon him, transforming him into a goat-like demon — a Satyr.
Bright's transformation left the onlookers awestruck. Their wish to become demons seemed within reach; they only needed to gather rare materials for the demon in exchange for transformation into their deepest desire.
'I came here to help them attack the Limitless Alliance and level up. Who would think these idiots — from somewhere I don't even know — wish to become demons?'
'These crazy AIs are really making my tutorial life here… interesting.'
"ALL YOU FOOLISH HUMANS!" Dexter boomed. "PREPARE YOURSELVES! WE ATTACK THE CRIMSON TREE — THE DEMON TREE! IT SHOULD BELONG TO ME!"
'Even if I make things up, these lunatics will fucking believe me.'
...
Crimson Tree Zone, inside the Limitless Alliance Hall.
A loud thud suddenly erupted from BOI's fist as he angrily smashed the table.
"What did you say?! Another cheater has appeared?"
"Y-yes… the Demon God's Alliance has another Demon in their ranks..." the messenger stammered.
"How could that be?! Did they get the Loot Bag from the first cheater?! What happened to our defenses? How could they get it?!" BladeOfInfinity rubbed his nape, then his forehead, unsure which one was actually itchy.
"Fuck this… where is Ghostblade?" BOI demanded.
"There has been no sign of Ghostblade since we paid the assassination fee. She didn't even take the llama she requested."
"Damn that Ghostblade! Damn those Blackhands!"
Standing from his seat, he looked sternly at the present Guild Leaders.
"Call everyone… Let's end this fucking charade. We'll show them why we control this Zone..."
"ASSEMBLE!" BOI roared.
...
Amidst millions of scattered Loot Bags, Dexter, in his demonic transformation, and Bright — the healer transformed into a Satyr — wreaked havoc.
At Dexter's command, thousands of Demon God's Alliance troops looted items strewn among millions of skeletal remains from greedy players.
"PROTECT THE LOOTERS!" shouted Dexter.
Bright, now leader of the Demon God's Alliance after Ghostblade's assassination of their former leader, was also frantically looting. His eyes greedily scanned everything within reach of his Tier X Ox mount.
Dexter ignored the looting, focused on attacking the frontline. He reveled in the fresh experience from players he slaughtered relentlessly, even as they resurrected.
"Urgh! Kill that fucking cheater!" someone shouted, moments before being engulfed by Dexter's flame baptism.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! You Limitless Alliance idiots… did you think you could turtle up in Crimson Tree forever?!"
With another flame breath, Dexter's Combat Mastery maxed out at Level 200. He could now transform his bracers into Tier X Masterpiece equivalents, making his demonic form even more sinister after its latest evolution.
"BRING ME GREENBLOB, AND I SPARE YOUR LIFE!" Dexter roared, pointing at the kneeling, trembling female healer.
"I-I don't know who Greenblob is!" she sobbed.
"KEKE! FIND HIM, OR I WILL HAUNT YOU IN YOUR DREAMS!"
