It didn't take long for most of the demons to be upset about the news. One of them, a shorter red skin demon with large horns came up to the desk. The moment he locked eyes with me I knew this was going to be fun.
"Look baby fuck face. I don't know who the fuck you are. But, you must be fucking stupid if you think you can just come in here and cancel this shit. I was up 12 thousand dollars ass wipe. Were is my money huh?"
Other demons followed.
"I was going to get sex. Are you paying for that?"
"Are you paying for this shit?"
The whole time I smiled at all of them. Customer service at its finest. As more demons kept yelling at me, a more professional demon made this way through the crowd towards me. He spoke as he walked towards me.
"Make way make way. I said get out of the fucking way!"
He had bluish skin, round eyes, and his attire was that of noble looking robes. He looked like a millionaire, while the only thing I had on was a black jacket, pants and boots. No helmet or anything like that. I wasn't going to bring out my robes and mask until things got violent. The demon was right in front of me. The only thing blocking us was the desk.
"Ahem. I am Lord Varrion Vexhalt. The owner of this establishment. May tell, what order or right are you to decide to up and stop my business. I don't care what your government wants or thinks. They better be paying me triple what I make in a day if they want me to stop this."
I looked at him smiled and said.
"I apologize sir, but…I have given strict orders to have all demons return to their respective circle of hell. Failure to do so-"
"Yes. Yes I heard you the first time you made that crap announcement. I have a better idea though. How about you just die."
I felt my chest being impaled, and my feet lifted off the ground. It didn't hurt at all, and honestly this was a moment to be cool. I had been given much, much worse. So, I acted like I was dying. With my 'dying' breath I choked up some blood for dramatic affect and said.
"H-how?"
"Oh baby, I am a greed demon. We aren't violent we have wrath demons for that kind of crap. So, go along and die for me. Daddy needs to get his business up and going after you came in and FUCK up MY shit. Darling be a dare and toss this imp over there. I want him to be hung on the wall as a trophy."
"You got it." The wrath demon aimed and threw me on the wall. His spear still in my chest, blooding running down my body. The only thing I was thinking at the moment was.
'Is this what Dante feels like in these types of moments? When is it the best time to come and say a cool line. Fuck what do I say? Don't fuck this up, this is literally your one Dante moment'
As the demons were about to return to what they were doing I finally knew what I wanted to say.
"I will take it this is a sign that you are denying my official request. Very well then, You all have ten seconds to leave and go back to your circle before I eat you all."
The blue demon looked shocked, pointed his finger at the wrath demon and said.
"I fucking pay good money for you to kill shit. NOW KILL SHIT! KILL HIM"
"O-on it." He pulled out a gun and starting shooting me. Meanwhile I counted
"One, Two am coming for you."
The wrath demon shot me a few times, but I simply recovered from my injuries.
"Three, four better lock your door."
"FUCK! DIE! I will pay good money for anyone that can kill this thing."
"Five, Six grab your crucifix."
The first imp demon that had yelled at me, looked at the situation and said.
"Yeah, fuck this I am out."
However, the door was locked.
"Seven, Eight gonna stay up late."
Some demons started to panic, they shoot me, stabbed me, and whatever else to injury me. Nothing worked. I just kept counting.
"Nine…ten…never sleep again…times up…FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!"
"Wha-" the demon didn't finish as Ruby had come from the shadows and bit off his arm. The demon screamed, more followed as Emerald made his presence known. The two had worked together multiple times and knew how to hunt in the shadows. Onyx, was a stupid demon but that didn't mean he was weak. He threw spells after spells on the demons, and dream was impaling demons left and right with his tentacles. Smiling as he did so. I could feel the happiness of them through me.
We hadn't had this much fun in some time. We had been living off of the bare minimum for a month now. There was only so much you could do. Now, we had a full buffet right here. I couldn't be happier.
I dropped down to the ground and started killing demons with holy magic. It was fun smelling their fear, despair, and boy was I going to eat good today. The wrath demon didn't last very long against me. The only thing he had was that he was stronger than a human and could use fire magic. That was it, weak sauce. It was about ten minutes later that I noticed that most of the demons were killed. There were only a few left, and that Lord whatever face was one of them.
I went up to him with my customer service smile.
"W-what…you sick fuck! Do you know WHO I am-"
"You can die."
I never did this before, but I thought I would try eating the actual soul this time. Foundation wasn't going to let me do that, so what better time to try than now. The moment my hands touched his chest, I order his soul out of his body and ate it. It tasted spicy, with a hint of some other flavor. I give it a 7/10 maybe lower hard to say, will need to try it again. Not sure if I like it or not.
The demons body fall lifeless on the ground. His blue skin becoming deathly pale.
"Okay, those of you that are alive. I want you to go to your friends and tell them what I told you. I am working with the government. We need demons to leave, so that we can fix our reality. Thank you."
No sooner were the doors opened that they ran out for their lives. Once the very few demons were gone, I decided to eat as much as possible.
"Alright everyone dig in, I doubt we will be eating anytime soon after this."
--------------some time later--------------------
"ugg…so full. Onyx save the rest for later. We have more Casino to clear out."
The next place was a hotel, the moment I walked in I did the same thing. Went straight to the front desk. Had the lady go home and told all the humans to go their rooms and sleep. Once that was done I simply said the same thing I did last time.
A suit wearing female demon came up to me. She looked more down to earth than the other guy. She had grey skin, and small horns. She was smoking a pipe as she walked down to me. When she got to me, she didn't yell or curse or anything. The only thing she asked was.
"Do I still own this place, after this whole thing is over? I am making good money here."
"Yes. Ma`am. Legally this place…Paradise still legally belongs to demons. You are the rightful owner of this establishment. I am merely required to get all demons to return to their respective circles to help in fixing this reality. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."
"No. It is fine. Tell me. I heard screaming coming from down the way. What was all that about?"
"Nothing ma`am. Merely a misunderstanding. However, it has been rectified. I do believe that the Casino will need a new owner."
"I..see. Before I go. I must ask how old are you?"
"I am 11 years old ma`am"
"Hmm. Well. I hope to see this situation resolved quickly, and I hope to see you as well."
"Thank you ma`am. Have a good day. Please don't forget to tell your friends about this. I wish to have this place cleared by tomorrow."
"I will see what I can do."
She left after saying that, and since there was nothing else here, I left too. The next few places were the same thing. Go in, get humans to either leave or sleep. Talk to the demons either they would go peacefully or I get a meal.
The more I fought and devoured them the more I started to realize something. That these demons were weak as fuck. It didn't make sense to me, were there different types of demons or something. Hell, a simple knife to the throat killed them. I barely put any holy magic on the knife and it did the job. When I fought the demons in 'otherworld' I had to put so much more into it.
This whole thing was getting boring, the only exception was when I had to go to an underground wrath fighting ring. But..it got stupid the moment I started to get serious. The food was good though, so I guess it wasn't so bad.
I was ordered to stop and assist the MTF team. Apparently, the MTF was being slowed down by civilians and they couldn't determine who was a demon and who was a human pretending to be one.
I knew this whole flanking thing was a stupid idea. Honestly they should have just let me clear out this whole place. Why bother having me scout this place and then bring in MTFs who aren't trained to deal with urban warfare and demons.
The sounds of gun fire was the first thing I heard when I teleported to the location. The MTF members were engaging in a heated gun fight with demons. Some of the vehicles were tipped over, and some were on fire. It looked like an urban terrain warzone. I walked to the nearest MTF member, whom was currently taking cover behind a building.
"Who is your superior office?"
"Wh-OH shit….fuck. Jesus. Look, my superior officer is dead, along with most of my team."
"Oh. That changes things. Lead did you hear that"
"Roger Witch Doctor we heard it. The demons are pushing more than we expected. With some being resistant to holy water. Change of plans. Witch doctor you are ordered to clear the area surrounding Caesar's Palace. Rescue as many MTFs as you can. Once done report back to base."
"Lead are you serious right now. This whole crap plan has changed more times then I can count. Why didn't you guys just let me do that in the first place?"
"Witch doctor, you need to file that question to command. I simply rely orders."
"Fine. Can I at least get the location of the MTF squad and do I have permission to teleport them."
"Stand-by"
The MTF guy still engaging in a gun fight the whole time I was talking. Looked at me and said.
"I could use some help here, we are pinned down and-"
This was getting boring, and wasn't fun anymore for me. The only thing I wanted to do was go to sleep. So, with a quick spell the demons all had holy daggers in their heads. They fell limp on the ground.
"You fucking couldn't have done that sooner?"
"I thought you had it. Arent MTF trained for this or something?"
"No. We aren't trained or equip to handle literal demons from hell"
"Witch doctor. This is lead"
"Go ahead"
"We have gotten permission. You are clear to teleport."
"This is going to be a long day"
