I had already destroyed most of the souls of these guys and quickly deleted them out of existence by crushing them with my abyssal jaws. After I was done with the terrible work, only a few were left.
All the priests were degenerates and rapists too. That never happens, right? Haha…
I guess even in this world, these guys are fucked up!
Anyways, I am a fervent believer of our Christian God and Jesus Christ, or well, I kind of believed in God in my previous life, I have no idea if I really care enough anymore. I don’t know what the heck are these Gods here, though, but maybe they’re just overpowered aliens that designed this world.
When we moved back to the caravan, we found the rest of the people hanging out just fine. There was also my clone holding all the people of the Goblin Village, and they were all sleeping soundly even now.
“We are done here at long last. We should move out now… Wait, where should we go?” I wondered.
“Obviously far away from all of this place. If we stay here a single more minute, we’ll simply get chased down even more by the nearby duchy,” Said Lucifer.
“Lucifer is right. We should move out right away, Maria… Do you happen to have a map? I believe you said once you stole a map,” Said Emeraldine.
I quickly opened my inventory and looked through all the available items. And there it was, I found one right there, a Map!
I took it out, and it was a bit dusty, but it was the map of the entire continent.
It was pretty big, just as I remember.
This continent is called Midgard, and it is a massive landmass with a shape similar to Eurasia.
“We are currently here… There are various duchies here and there… If we go to the north, we’ll directly find more duchies and even the capital, though we can’t go there yet… To the west, there are duchies. To the east, even more duchies… The south it is… the south of this continent is the closest to the continent of Niflheim, so it gets a bit colder there. Some regions even have snow in winter due to that, something rare on this warm continent,” Said Emeraldine.
“Ohh, you know a lot,” I said.
“I do. I have traveled around a bit on my own, and I had learned about the continent some more from some travelers that I met before being… captured and enslaved,” Sighed Emeraldine.
“Anyways, the only place we can find where there are no Kingdoms and Duchies is the cold south. There are mostly small independent villages, and tribes of nomadic beast-kin and probably Majin… It is kind of an ideal place now that I think about it,” said Emeraldine.
“This place… This is where the Demon King built his Kingdom long ago… Perhaps we could occupy the ruins of the Demon Kingdom capital if they’re still up…” Suggested Lucifer.
“Ooh! That’s amazingly convenient! Why did they never use this big flat land? Maybe because it gets cold?” I wondered.
“Indeed, there are irregular snowstorms sometimes, and the beaches in these areas are very cold… the sea is raging and angry, so fishing is very hard too. Seeing how there are many other Kingdoms and Duchies near the coasts that are not so affected by the cold of the neighbor Continent, it appears that they just prefer to use the calmer waters to the west and east,” Said Emeraldine.
“I see… Does the map show where the Demon Kingdom once was?” I asked.
“No… It doesn’t show. But there is a place named Ruined Dark Demon Forest… It is said that there are ruins of ancient buildings there…” Said Emeraldine
“T-That must be it!” Said Lucifer.
He suddenly got all hyped.
“Well, let’s move there then. What are we waiting for? We just have to move straight down from here, right?” I asked.
“Yes… we’ll have to make a few turns… though it might take a few days,” Said Emeraldine.
“Ugh, the goblin village people will wake up before that… We need supplies and more caravans to fit them all. Staying in the dark dimension of my shadow won’t do them any good….” I sighed.
“Then we should go to the Affnaria Kingdom which is near here and get the things we need before the journey,” Said Lucifer.
“Yeah, let’s go tonight. But for now, let’s make some camps and prepare food for everyone. The goblin village people have begun to wake up already,” I said.
“Alright! Food time!” Shouted Partner.
“You’re hungry?” I asked.
“Very!” Responded Partner.
“Hehe, aren’t you a cutie? Okay, let’s make a lot of food, Partner.” I said as I petted her head, and she smiled adorably.
“Nee-sama! You’re back!” Said Takeshi.
“Auntie Maria!” Laura quickly ran towards me right after Takeshi.
The kids were fine and healthy, which made me rather happy. I hugged them back as they jumped over me.
“We missed you!” Said the little Takeshi.
“I-I was gone for just a few hours….” I sighed.
“But we sensed the explosions, the earth was quaking all the time… J-Just what did you fight this time?” Sighed Laura.
“Something… something very strong. A gorilla made into a Vampire,” I sighed.
“G-Gorilla?” Asked Takeshi.
“A vampire did this?! Wait, there are gorilla vampires?!” Shouted Laura.
“Haha, not in the literal sense! But I mean, a woman who was very strong. She’s more than dead now, but I’ve stored her soul… She’ll come back later on, maybe as an ally this time around,” I said.
“Oh… T-That’s a bit scary to think about….” Sighed Takeshi.
“Y-Yeah…” Said Laura.
“Hahaha! Don’t worry. She won’t be as scary, I promise! I’ll make sure to tell her not to be such a brute this time around,” I sighed.
Silvio and Francesco were allowed to come out, and they greeted the kids.
“We are part of those scary people!” Said Silvio.
“Ah, children! So cute!” Said Francesco, stretching the cheeks of Takeshi.
“Ugeehh… Who are these creeps?!” Cried Takeshi.
“Why are they made of fire?!” Asked Laura.
