The Author's POV

"You sorted everything out?"

"Yeah"

Returning back to the treasury, I stared at the portal that stood before Kevin. Just like the first time I saw it, the black portal in front of Kevin emitted fine adulations of magic resulting in a whirlpool of different colors circling around the portal.

"Hurry, up the portal is ready, lets go back to earth"

"Alright, I'm coming"

Having achieved my goal in coming here, and having sorted Silug's situation, I knew that it was about time we returned back to earth.

Glancing at the walls of the castle, I could hear the faint sounds of fighting coming from both the insides and the outsides of the castle. The insides coming from the orcs in the prison, and the outside coming from the war that was happening in Immorra.

Although I would've loved to watch the war that was happening, I knew that it wasn't the time.

The war was merely a means to achieve my goals.

Perhaps once I returned to Immorra in the future to see how Silug was doing, I could see another war with the two other Marquess ranked demons, but that was for another time.

Staring at me who was slowly walking towards the portal, Kevin impatiently said.

"You going?"

Keeping the portal open actually took quite a toll on his body. The more Ren delayed, the bigger the toll his body faced.

He was understandably getting anooyed.

"Yup, coming, hold on a sec"

…and as I also understood this, I hurried up my footsteps and prepared myself to enter the portal.

"Ah wait..."

However, right before stepping into the portal, recalling something and glancing at my watch, I quickly tapped on it.

-Booom! -Booom! -Booom!

Shortly after, explosions rang all over the castle as the whole structure shook.

Startled, Kevin looked at me in shock as he exclaimed.

"Ren, what are you doing!?"

Glancing at Kevin, I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Hm? I'm just hiding our traces"

Like I said before, I didn't want anyone to find out that we've infiltrated the building through the back entrance, therefore, I installed explosives everywhere.

This way once they investigated, chances of them finding Silug were ever lower.

Although once he signed a contract the chances of him getting discovered were already low, with this, his chances of being discovered were going to be even lower allowing him to gain strength without too much trouble.

I admit, that my plan was not the most perfect one as there were a couple of more loopholes in my plan that could expose Silug, however, given that the demons were currently in the middle of a war, he shouldn't be able to get exposed for now.

Which was good enough for me, and so I could more or less now be satisfied with the outcome.

Opening his mouth, Kevin wanted to say a lot of things, but given that this was a building that housed demons, he shut his mouth.

...why should he care if the demons suffered?

In fact, he wanted nothing more for them to burn in hell.

"...I see, anyhow hurry up I can't hold on for too long"

"Aye, aye"

Taking one last look at the treasury before me, shaking my head I stepped into the portal

It was really a pity that I couldn't loot everything.

-Fwa!

As I stepped into the portal, just like before, the world around me turned dark and I lost all of my senses.

It was about time I returned back to earth.
