Chapter 819: Scamming
When I saw how Karwenz was visibly pregnant, even though I knew that he was actually attached to the demon baby inside, I still felt that this was rather… comical?
"I told you to stop always getting women pregnant. How do you feel now? Do you really want to throw up? Tsk, you really are unique, being a man who can experience what it feels like to be pregnant."
"…Stop being ridiculous, since when have I always gotten women pregnant!? Oh. Roland, you really are so sly as always, still trying to get information out of me even now."
Karwenz's angry expression didn't seem fake. I nodded slightly as this was doubtlessly good news to me.
Although a powerful demon's direct descendants would be resources and backup physical bodies for the demon, giving birth to such descendants would also concretely weaken the powerful demon, so such descendants would definitely be limited in number. Since Karwenz didn't have other descendants prepared, then…
"Although I'm quite sorry for Leona… explode, you winner in life."
I then snapped my fingers and caused Karwenz to explode into tiny pieces right in front of me with an expression of disbelief.
"Leona's" head fell on the ground. Her eyes were still blankly looking up at the sky with a look that she hadn't accepted her death.
"Your Highness!"
Meanwhile, at my side, Ilmisya screamed incredibly pitifully and furiously crawled over to "Leona's" shattered corpse as if what just happened had destroyed everything dear to Ilmisya.
"Tsk, he really didn't die… You over there, stop pretending. I'm not dead yet, which means Karwenz still isn't dead. At most, he'll go back to take a shower in the River Styx. I refuse to believe that you don't even know this."
Although I was saying such cold-blooded words, I was still carefully on guard.
Indeed, since I already knew how demon bloodlines worked, and I had already understood how special Leona's demon baby was from dissecting her before, I naturally made preparations beforehand back when I dissected her.
I considered how Karwenz would likely be able to immediately take over Leona's entire body when he took over the soulless demon baby inside her, and how he would have abundant magical power. No normal strategy would possibly fool him, so I altered Leona's body… with goblin grenades.
In undead magic, there was a certain category known as bone magic, which was basically controlling bones to make bone spears to attack, bone walls to defend, and so on. The basics of the basics for bone magic was drawing out bones and adjusting the bones' shape.
A bone magic grandmaster would be capable of drawing out an entire person's complete skeleton just by touching that person. Although I was no expert in bone magic, I was still capable of the basics.
Through surgery and basic bone magic, I replaced several of Leona's bones with bones that contained hollowed metal tubes.
These hollow tubes had several bundles of special goblin grenades which were the peak of goblin engineering inside. Their might would be indisputable. Since these were pure physical products of science, it would be impossible to detect them using normal magic detection methods unless another dissection surgery was performed.
This was a backup plan I had made just in case. If it had turned out that this plan was unnecessary, then I would have performed surgery on Leona once more after everything was all over and changed her bones for normal bones again.
"What a pity."
I coldly glanced at the tattered flesh and blood before me. I wouldn't say anything like "Your sacrifice has meaning," "Your death will save more people," or anything useless like that, even though it would be true.
This was a slaughter. This was an evil act I committed for my personal benefit. I had chosen this.
Ilmisya kept clutching Leona's head and crying loudly like a child in front of me, but…
"No, wait. No matter how excellent their relationship was, Devil Lord Ilmisya would never be so weak or expose her weakness in front of me like this."
