Rise as a Demon Lordress by M. B. Queen (english books to improve english TXT) 📖

to change.

I even learned how to keep myself from getting so excited by his hot ikeman looks.

Two months, huh?

Am I someone who can adapt easily?

After applying the patch to my most recent wound he took my hand in his and without warning brought it to his lips.

Right, this was another thing that changed.

This guy, he's been doing these kinds of things recently.

It's not all the time, though.

I got so used to it that it no longer fazed me.

"Don't worry about me. Just feeling a bit sore." I tell him.

He crouched down at eye level, his expression showed concern.

"Should I lighten the training a bit?" He asked.

I wanted to immediately say yes, something tells me that he'd immediately do just that.

Instead I shook my head, "it's fine, getting stronger is my only wish." I tell him.

Right, because of him I have a few powerful magic skills as well.

TI won't go into specific details just yet though.

For now I should continue my training.

"I'm glad to hear that. I thought you was mad at me since I could pratically hear you cursing me earlier." He says.

"Urgh." I flinched.

He's seriously really good at guessing things like that.

 

Another's Perspective

 

Reesa leaves with Islacc to continue her training.

Her skills in combat and magic combined was something she was proud to display.

She's gotten so good at her control that she was damn near on par with Islacc.

Even when he's using his dragon form she manages to land damage before losing.

At first she would lose horribly but two months of that intensive training was worth it.

Maybe she'll be able to even defeat this Ancient Dragon?

 

 

Nearby Village

 

"Monster!"

Screams pierce the sky as a large monster attacks the villagers.

This is a village of humans, but there was an elf slave being held and was used as fodder.

This elf was a young woman with no name.

She had a dirty appearance so it was hard to make out her features.

Right now she was huddled inside a dark cubby doing her best to hide from the monster rampaging the village.

If she can survive this than that means she'll be free from these humans.

She quietly and frantically bit her fingernail.

Her heart was pounding like crazy but she still refused to make a sound.

Her only thoughts were that she didn't want to die.

If anything she wanted to live.

She wanted to take her revenge on the humans that made her into a slave.

Even if they all die here, her anger and hatred for humans will not cease to exist.

So, instead she will take her anger out on all the humans that dare hurt her in the future.

All she have to do is survive.

I must survive.

No matter what!

The screaming of humans were no more.

Instead the sound of footsteps from outside the cubby frightened her.

Did a human survive?

Why?

She covered her mouth and the sound of her heartbeat quickened.

"Lady Reesa, the monster was dealt with." A small voice says.

"Extract the core for me, a monster like that must have a good core." 

That's a woman's voice!

Was there a Lady Reesa amongst the human's here?

Is it possible that she was saved?

It doesn't matter who it is, whoever it is it's better than being here slaving away!

Determined, the elf girl pushed open the cabinet and crawled out.

The first thing she noticed were a pair of female boots.

Her eyes traveled up legs to a pair of red eyes that looked down at her.

"Hm? What's this, a survivor?" The woman asked peering down at her.

The elf swallowed, but thankfully it was not a human.

The woman seemed to be studying her as if trying to determine what to do with her.

"It's a child. Is it human?" This Lady Reesa seemed to be talking out loud.

She suddenly began to eminate an evil aura that could make a high level monster submit to her.

"Then I must kill it."

The elf felt fear instantly and gulped.

Who is she? This scary person?

It's obvious that she was someone strong.

A boy orc entered holding something circular and yellow in his hand.

He noticed her immediately, "an elf?" He asked with a tilt of his head.

The woman known as Lady Reesa looked at the orc in surprise.

"An elf you say?" She asked.

She then turned to look down at the elf, "show me your ears." She ordered.

Ah!

The elf immediately tucked her hair revealing a pointed ear.

"I see, so you are an elf." She mutters.

The elf watched as the aura disappeared, does this mean she's safe?

"Let's go Til, we're done here." Lady Reesa says to the orc boy.

Was she leaving? But....

"Wait!' She called out.

She covered her mouth in shock but it was too late since now this Lady Reesa was looking back at her.

Be brave, you can do it!

"Please take me with you!" She bowed her head to the floor.

At first there was no reaction.

"Why should I?" Lady Reesa asked.

Why?

That's right a reason.

"I want to be stronger. I don't want to be a slave to humans anymore. So please! I promise to be loyal to you for however long I live!" She yells.

Please.

It was silent again.

Perhaps, was she being rejected?

That's when the sounds of footsteps drew near.

Without warning Lady Reesa stooped down grabbing her chin and raising it.

Their eyes meet and there seemed to be this long silence.

"An elf girl with this weak constitution wishes to follow me? Hm.... I admit that I could use a loyal subordinate. Alright then." She says helping her stand to her feet.

"Lady Reesa, will you really take in this elf girl?" The orc boy asked.

Lady Reesa smiled mysteriously, "that's right."

She held her hand out to her and it was like looking at a demon angel being illuminated by a bright and shiny light.

In her hand was the yellow orb.

"I warn you, I do not accept any weaknesses. If you follow me, no matter what you must not betray me. And last you must alway be sure to call me, Mistress." Lady Reesa says.

The elf reached out her hand and accepted the yellow orb, "I will forever follow and will never betray my Mistress." She agreed.

"Good, swallow that to evolve and follow me." Her Mistress ordered.

The elf did as told and just like that a light bursted from her causing her body to take a new shape.

"For now on, I'll call you Hina!" 

 

The Female Lead has taken in a loyal Subordinate and named her Hina.

Vol 1 Ch 9: The Monster of the Mountains

 

Hina's transformation was more focused on her mana growth.

She only grew by a foot and still kept her small figure.

I'm glad I filled out a lot for my first transformation.

"Mistress!" Hina came running into the upgraded cabin.

Which was implemented by Islacc.

I'm glad he just rolled with it instead of reprimending me for doing something he never agreed to.

Guess this is the perk of our strange relationship.

But then again it could be that Hina was oozing with cuteness.

She's like a mini peace treaty.

I shouldn't show her an uncool expression.

Controlling one's expression was something that I learned as well.

I can't be a Demon Lordress without being able to keep my expressions in check.

Is what Islacc explained to me.

But...

Glancing at a sparkling Hina.

Inner mind shows Reesa having a flowery expression.

She really is too cute that I want to just pinch her cheeks!

But I can't, I am a soon to be Demon Lordress.

I shake my head, and right now I'm a Demon Ogre General.

"What is it,, Hina?" I asked finally snapping out of it.

She points to her chest with her nose pointing in the air, "my transformation is pretty awesome right, Mistress?" She asked proudly.

I reached over and pat her head.

"Indeed, and looks like you have an affinity with using nature magic." 

"Yep, Master Islacc has been teaching me how to control my mana. He says it's way too soon to start using my magic." She says with a nod.

Well he was the same with me, until I was able to control my hunger, I couldn't learn anything else.

It's odd really, I remember starving for a week when I first appeared in this world and yet something like losing my senses have never occured.

I wonder if it's just apart of my growth?

That's a mystery I'll probably never learn about.

"Mistress?" Hina looked at me curiously.

Ah, I must have zoned out again.

I pat her head once more, "that's great Hina. Looks like you've managed to adapt already." I tell her.

It's only been a week since I took her in and yet she's already learned to associate with us naturally.

Her personality is more like a cute and spoiled child who's loved.

I don't think I hate it, but maybe I should act more like a leader.

 

Kingdom that owns the Village and Mountains

Armitis Castle

 

"Another monster appearance, this is starting to look serious, Prince Judis." Sir Roman, Head Butler at Armitis Castle, says.

Prince Judus Armitis felt frustrated from all the constant monster attacks that have been going on lately.

So far the rising body count of humans have risen to 40%.

It wasnt looking good and there have been talk among the people that he couldn't handle something to this degree.

This is bad.

The most recent appearance of a monster destroyed a village that was closer to Mount Irda. 

"Do you have anything else on the incident?" He asked with his fingers folded and his chin resting on them.

"According to my source there was no signs of the monster as usual. They believe that the monster from the mountains has awakened and have been purposedly causing mayhem." Sir Roman says.

That again. It's the same legend he heard ever since childhood.

The one about the monster in the mountains.

At first he would have laughed it off as that, just a legend that didn't exist.

But after seeing it for himself, the beast that lived in the mountains no longer became a legend to him.

"It's about time that we get involved." Prince Judis says clenching his fingers tightly together.

"Are you sure that's such a great idea, Prince? We have no clue what kind of monster lives in those mountains. If anything we could be in over our heads." Sir Roman points out.

It is true that they knew nothing and the monster has already killed off at least four very well-known villages so far. 

Even so, it must not continue anymore than this.

"Gather all the soldiers together, We'll head out at dawn. Also find me some adventurers." Prince Judis ordered.

He mustn't hesitate, the more he did so the possiblity that his city will be next on that monster's list.

"Yes, Prince." Sir Roman says with a bow before leaving Prince Judis to his thoughts.

From where he was sitting he could look out his window and see the mountains.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination but recently there has been a glowing light on top of that mountain.

"Monster of the Mountains. I'll be sure to take your head myself." He mutters.

 

Adventure Guild in Perphius City

 

"Have you heard? Prince Judis is looking for some adventurers." Some one says.

One can see a group of adventurers sitting at a nearby table.

These adventurers were made up of four adventurers.

They carried high quality gear on their persons.

Nearby, other adventures sat talking about the recent subjugation request.

"They say there was a series of monster attacks to a few of the villages here in Armitis Kingdom. Isn't that crazy?" Another adventurer says.

"You hear that, Leader? Sounds like a request from the Prince." a girl, nicknamed Chipper, amongst the four adventurers
