Demon and Vanessa finally entered the city square. Which was a wide clearing made in the middle of Erythron, one which was packed with people, going about there way.
Furthermore, aside from the many two to three-storey buildings bordering the square, in the middle of it stood a massive towering pillar of about 20 meters height.
And in width was only about five meters.
The pillar was plain on the outside, made from some dark black-red material, perfectly matching the surrounding atmosphere of Erythron.
Although plain, the surface of the pillar was inscribed with many on many complex and encrypted symbols, they were mysterious and confusing runic characters which embodied different aspects of existence.
But the most prominent of these runic characters were the spatial runes, while the other runic characters were simply there to stabilize, empower and balance the spatial runes.
In other words, the pillar was a Teleportation Nexus, which acted as an anchor and facilitated the instant travel between two distinct points while bypassing the physical space between them.
However, the Teleportation Nexus did not allow travel between two random or unknown spots.
Because for the teleportation to work, one must know the precise coordinates of the location one wanted to reach, and for the given coordinates to also be present in the teleportation range of the Teleportation Nexus.
Which for this one, was 10-thousand kilometers.
Not to mention, the Teleportation Nexus at Erythron was strong enough to at maximum teleport 1000 individuals to 1000 different locations simultaneously.
And of course, it was also connected with the many others of its kind present in the many other cities. Accordingly, facilitating the city to city travel between the many cities, further creating a smooth connectivity between them.
"Would that mortal even be able to survive Master?
As, I'm sure you know, we were being followed the whole while we roamed this city, and those mortals following us have also seen you completely healing that cripple.
Besides, with him regressing by a whole ascension rank, if he doesn't leave Erythron soon, then death would be the least of his worries."
"Mm. Is My Demoness worried?" Demon raised his brow. "How surprising!"
"As if." Vanessa simply rolled her eyes. "I think it would've been very wasteful for you to have given him another opportunity only for him to go and suffer a pathetic end anyways."
"Don't worry, My dear." Demon chuckled amusingly.
"If Aethrox can't adapt to his recovered strength quickly and get out of Erythron before getting captured by others, then that just ment, their is no hope for a miserable existence such as him, meant that he failed.
And we certainly don't care about what happens with failures."
Vanessa smiled. "Still, you can't stop me from ending these demons who thought it was okay to toy with the one you showed intreat towards."
"Alright, you can do whatever you want." He agreed nonchalantly. "Besides... "
Demon panned his gaze, noticing just how many eyes were focused on him and his maid when not even a full minute has passed since he entered the dense crowd of mortal demons in the city square.
Though most belonged to the ones, who had been following him from the instance he entered Erythron.
In which, some were working for the two Sovereign families of the city, some for the six Nobel families and some for other independent parties such as an information organization and others.
Nevertheless, the rest of the gazes who were on there own, were mostly gazes of curiosity or amazement, and as usual, there were also many lustful gazes coming in the mix.
Which was pretty normal. Because, it was Demon and Vanessa here, who weren't normal.
Moreover, a good number of the demons here didn't belong to any power in particular. In simple words, they were independent demons, working on their own and solely for themselves.
And most of them had already formed their own expedition parties, who would be soon going inside the spatial vortex near Erythron.
That's why these demons were here, either waiting for their other party members or short of some and were thus recruiting others.
Considering, the concurring of the portals was a dangerous job, one which demanded many versatile skills aside from the required strength, which obviously only one individual couldn't possess.
Whereas, Demon could immediately guess simply by the distinct intent behind the looks he was getting, that a many of these parties would certainly want him in there ranks just based on his natural disposition.
There can be many reasons but none which really interested him for him to even consider these possibilities.
Anyhow he wouldn't be able to enter the portal regardless, so there was no point in joining them either.
"Hello there, good sir. You seem to be someone new here by how you keep looking around. And if you don't mind, then I would be more then happy to help you out regarding your apparent curiosities."
A man, a demon spoke with an amicable smile.
The while, with calm steps, walking towards Demon and Vanessa. He was dressed in a thin-black armor and a blackish-red coat that flowed gracefully down to his knees with a long-sword strapped to his waist.
His presence was one of sophistication and elegance yet the clear undulations he exuded were easily comparable to an actual Inferior Greater Demon.
"My friend, don't get fooled by that welcoming smile of his. This bastard is a very cunning and ruthless demon. He is infamous for taking advantage of and using green-horns like you.
Besides, with you having such a beautiful lady with yourself, do you even need me to spell out what he wants from you. So I'd say you should just ignore that poisonous bastard.
Instead, how about this, why don't you come with me over there, I've got plenty of good people with me, I'm sure we'd be able to help you out on what you want pretty easily."
Another one voiced.
However he had just finished when another voice echoed, this one belonged to a woman, and while she had just began, someone else interrupted her.
And just like that, about 10 Inferior Greater Demons had surrounded Demon and Vanessa. All echoing their own sentences without asking for his opinion even once.
While he was certainly amused by the situation, the same can't be said about his maid, who was really in a very sour mood as the demons had apparently disturbed her alone time with him.
Whereas, Demon also didn't see the need to respond to the mortal bickering before him.
Consequently, before his maid looses herself and ends these mortals, he grabbed her hand, which immediately had her calmed down by a notch, and started walking towards the Teleportation Nexus.
"Where are you going, good sir. Have you decided to join my party?"
"Don't go around throwing your baseless assumptions, Noxson. I'm sure a handsome man such as him would obviously prefer to team-up with a heavenly beauty such as myself."
She uttered while giving a playful wink towards Demon.
"Shut up, Nyra. As if this big brother lack a beauty. Have you even glanced at his mere servant, I'm sure you have but you consciously choose to ignore it, because she despite being a servant girl is a thousand times more beautiful then you."
"Indeed. Besides, here, who doesn't know how much of a venomous bitch you are whenever you find someone, who is far more beautiful as compared to you.
You only haven't moved against her because you can't sense how strong she actually is just like this fine young man. Aren't I right Nyra?"
"Yeah, I'm sure she wants to seduce my brother here so as to kill his servant, such an envious demonic bitch. If it weren't for your formidable strength, then I would've surely killed you for this offense against my brother."
Demon pursed his lips. His amusement ever rising on seeing the drama going on before him... ... ... ... ...
