Soul Fusion Online Chapter 203.2

Back inside the game, Ryu and Chi, along with Anames and Arkin, were now standing at the entrance of the demon race's village. Ryu had the rest of the team go protect the village. "Master, this may not be the best of times to say this, but my kind is known to be very violent."

"And? I'm known for making world heritage sites that require me to bury the heads of stupid people in the sand." Ryu turned and replied with a smile. Chi chuckled, remembering the sight of all the heads buried in the sand.

"I will start digging." Chi pulled two shovels out of her inventory and passed one to Arkin. She then gave instructions of how deep the hole had to be before starting to dig a hole herself.

Anames watched in disbelief at how streamlined this seemed to be but also confused as to why they were digging holes. Fortunately for her and, unfortunately for the ones to come, she did not have to wait long before finding out what this was all for.

"What is a human doing here?" A big burly demon asked with a mocking tone to his voice. He did not see Ryu as a threat in the slightest.

Ryu decided to try to take the polite approach first, ignoring the demon's attitude as he asked: "I have come to speak to your leader. I have something important to discuss with him."

"Humph! What right does a weakling like you have to make a request from our village elder? Maybe I should just rip your head off and serve you to the village elder as a mea…. AHHHH!!!!" The demon suddenly found himself being tossed through the air and somehow slotted right into a hole in the ground. It was as if the hole was a perfect size for him because no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move his arms. The next thing he knew, dirt was being thrown at his face. He looked up, and to his disbelief, the one packing in the dirt around his head was one of his own kind! "Arkin, you damn traitor!"

"Traitor? I only serve my Master. How am I a traitor? My Master wants to make a world heritage site, so I am assisting in that." Although she said these words, Arkin had no idea what a world heritage site was.

"A world what!?" The demon was very confused since he had never heard of such a term before either. He was about to say more when he saw another figure flying over his head and a yell coming from behind him. "What the hell is this!?"

"Can you guys not yell? It's your own fault for not just accepting Master's request!" Anames yelled.

"Anames!? You too!? What happened to the monster lord!?" The newest demon added to the idiots in the sand collection asked.

"Master killed him, and in order to allow me and my sisters to live, he took us on and is supplying us with the life force needed to live. But here you are trying to act all tough in the face of the person who could kill the one enemy the entire clan feared." Anames yelled she had no respect for the people of this village, even if they were her own kind. They would rather give up all the girls to save their own lives than to fight an enemy just because they were strong.

"This..." All five heads in the sand were now speechless. They had nothing to defend themselves with. It was their fault that all the women of their clan were sent to the monster lord. Only a few remained, and they were treated as queens and spoiled beyond belief because they were the lifeblood of their village. They had to give birth to many babies in order to keep their population going.

"Stop!" An old voice came from the village gate. An old demon who was using a cane to support himself came walking over. His back was hunched over, and he had to take three steps to one person's normal step.

Ryu looked up to see the old man and smiled. He hoped now he could get down to business. From what he understood about the demon race was that they only understood strength which was why he only brought Chi with him. "You must be the village elder?"

"That I am… Sorry for taking so long. This old man is slow." The village elder replied with a smile. He looked at the idiots in the sand and frowned. He wondered why they didn't just report to him that someone was here to speak to him.

"That is quite right." Ryu was here to make peace, so he did not say anything about the idiots in the sand.

"Hah… I apologize for my idiot guards. Now, why has a human come to my village? I am sure it would not be for a small thing." The old man cut right to the chase.

"Yes. I have come to actually form a pact between your village and Harlin Heights. I hope the two sides can form a peace treaty of sorts." Ryu explained.

Hearing these words, the old man's face turned red with anger as he looked over at the idiots in the sand and yelled: "Such an important manner, and you didn't tell me!? What is wrong with you all!?" After yelling, the old man turned and bowed his head at Ryu. "I am sorry for my people's idiocy. Please explain to me about this pact." The old man had been wanting a truce between the humans and his village for a very long time. With their women benign taken away by the powerful monster lord, there was no way they could fight back. If the humans attacked, even if they were able to win, they would suffer great losses, and if any of the women who were left died… His race would quickly die out.

"It's fine, let's get down to business."
