Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 9 - At the gates of Grenton

When Ren and his group were about to enter through the front gate, they were stopped by two guards. The two guards were wearing better armor than Valdel who was wearing an almost rusted piece of armor. The two guards proceeded to look at Valdel\'s crappy armor in disdain, while sneering.

Afterwards the two noticed Lara. Who Even though she was young, her body was already shaped like an a.d.u.l.t woman\'s, with all the right curves. So the two guards checked out her body, in which they didn\'t hide the lust in their eyes. Since no one passes through the gates at this hour, the two guards thought that they could have a little fun with the young lady. When Ren saw the looks they were giving Lara, his killing intent was bursting out and had encroached the two guards.

The two guards who felt Ren\'s massive killing intent started to shiver in fear, and had peed their pants. The two while shaking uncontrollably started to kneel, they even started crying in front of Ren\'s group.

Valdel knew immediately who had done this to them. He then held Ren\'s shoulder, while looking a bit worried at his best friend.

"Ren what are you doing?"

"These two, looked down on you. Even worse they looked at Lara with lust. No one, and I mean no one, not even the Gods are allowed to look at Lara with lust. Only I am allowed to do that! Lara is my woman, she\'s mine! Only death awaits for those foolish enough to touch or even think of touching what is mine."

Even though Lara knew of this. She with her stoic expression would still blush, hearing Ren call her his woman. Yet every time she remembered that she couldn\'t just be the one and only, and that she needed to share him with others at some point... The thought made her feel a bit bad. Yet she knew someone like Ren would always take what he wants and never back down.

Valdel was getting worried as Ren was really seriously thinking of killing the guards. He needed to stop this before it escalates.

"Ren, they just looked at her. They weren\'t going to take anything from you. If they did do something like whatever you\'re thinking right now, then I would be the first one to finish them off. So please calm down Ren... If you do something even more excessive, you wont be able to join the adventurers guild. If you won\'t be able to join, what would Uncle Matias, and Auntie Milly think? So please Ren, calm down."

Ren was seething in anger. Even though he should\'ve killed these guys the moment they looked at Lara like dogs in heat. Yet he... Hesitated, he actually stopped to consider wether to kill them or not. He the former strongest demon lord, the killer of heroes, the conquerer of nations, had actually hesitated!

If this was before he had reincarnated, he wouldn\'t even think. He would\'ve killed them both on the spot, alongside the man who stopped him. Which in this case was Valdel, if it was before, even if Valdel was his biological son he would\'ve died for trying to stop him.

Ren clenched his fist and sighed, looking at the resolution in Valdel\'s eyes he knew what his foolish best friend would do. If he attacked the two fools, this idiotic friend of his would try to stop him even if the cost is his life. This was another annoying trait of a hero, self sacrifice.

Though what he said is indeed true, if he kills these bastards then he might not be able to join the adventurers guild. That would make things difficult not just for him, but for Lara as well. It would also trouble his human parents.

"Fine then, I wont kill them." Hearing Ren had calm down and wasn\'t emitting any killing intent, Valdel felt relieved.

The two guards who were looking down on them awhile ago, now looked at Ren in fear and horror. The moment Ren released them from the grip of his killing intent, the two guards wanted to run away but couldn\'t. Their legs weren\'t working properly they felt like rubber.

"I wont kill them, but these two need to be punished. That\'s the best compromise I can give you Val. If you stop me from doing even that, then I might need to be a bit rough on you." This was Ren\'s final warning to Valdel.

This time there really was no stopping Ren, Valdel had no choice but to simply nod his head. Seeing Valdel\'s reply, Ren smiled.

He slowly approached the two guards, who were shaking violently as they saw him approach. Ren then knelt down to look at two guards, eye to eye before speaking.

"You have done something you shouldn\'t have. Normally you would be dead by now, but because of my friend over there, you get to survive this ordeal." Ren pointed at Valdel, indicating him as the friend that saved the two guards.

"Still you need to be punished... So because you looked lewdly at my woman I will be taking an eye from of each of you."

Hearing what Ren said the two guards were panicking, and they wanted to say something, but no matter how hard they try, they couldn\'t make a sound.

"Don\'t worry this will be quick... And excruciatingly painful." Without further ado, Ren\'s fingers plucked out the eyeballs of the two guards. One eyeball per guard, like he promised.

The moment their eyeballs were plucked out, an intense pain came over the two guards they screamed in agony for a bit before fainting on the spot.

Ren looked at the two eyeballs he was holding and burned them using a fire spell.

"Hmph, weaklings, fainting from only this much... You better not anger me again, cause the next time... Heh, the next time will not be as pleasant." After he was done talking to the unconscious guards Ren walked pass the gates into the town of Grenton. Lara as usual followed Ren, without even looking at the unconscious guards.

Valdel on the other hand used a minor healing spell to stop the bleeding from their eye sockets. Once he was done using the spell he went into the town of Grenton, sighing at the misfortune of the two guards.
